stylish meters

is it just me or is there something lacking with all meters except onetouch and freestyle?

I mean their cute little meters that look stylish and updated.

all these others are bulky and unstylish that just the looks of it turns me off regardless of what features it has with it.

and i even like the one touch brand over freestyle in looks, but at least freestyle i wouldnt feel weird carrying it around.


i pitty these poor teenagers where everything needs to look like bling bling in order to be cool, I really wish we could have meters that looks good and maybe change skins as in like cellphones is now.

am i weird??

No I totally agree. There's one company that sells software that lets you make custom sticker skins. But honestly, I would love some premade skins where I don't have to buy software. Maybe I should just design it. I was thinking the best material would be that static cling vinyl that is use for decals. Plus that way you can have a scratch barrier on your screen. Does a company make these?

You could always get some cell phone bling and add it to your meter. The above poster mentioned the printable skins, you can get those at http://www.fifty50pharmacy.com/index...gnerso ftware

They're having a special now where if you buy the software package, you can get 1/2 off a pack of template refills.

You can buy PDA screen protectors for the screen of your meter, but in all these years of using mine, I've never scratched a screen. YMMV!
