Mytego President, Doyle Buehler, strongly believes in the ability to allow customers to truly personalize an iPod with their own style and flair, "despite marketing iPods with the name as a possessive 'i', there really is nothing here to instill the 'i' for imagination. What about 'my' style for my own iPod?".

While a few muted color designs have arisen from the throws of the apple factory, the failure to capture the artistic and creative side of each individual user is not entirely Apple's own fault -- all MP3 manufacturers like iRiver, Sony, Creative, etc. have all produced devices that are carried daily almost non-stop by everyone, and have become such an endearing part of each person's life, yet don't reflect any personal characteristics of style.

In light of this, what is slowly taking shape is people's desire to customize on their own, with their own personal iPods and other MP3 players. Vinyl skins have been the only tool that allows for this level of personalization, by putting general pictures and colors on top of the device itself as a thin printed adhesive film. Gaining popularity, skins can be found for a wider range of portable electronic products. Sadly, limitations still exist with most skin manufacturers with "premade" off-the-shelf designs as the skin designs have no real relation to what each customer wants or needs to truly reflect their own personal style.

However, Mytego, takes the design and manufacture of skins one step further with complete customer-designed and personalized skins for their customer's own iPods and other portable electronic devices. Colloquially called the "Tego" skin, mytego provides the on-line tools at mytego.com for all customers to design and create exactly what they want their Tego skin to look like, with absolutely no limitations except that of their own imagination. Users are able to upload images from their own computer or digital camera, use images from the online mytego image library, or create special designs with the online design tools. Mytego then manufactures each one specifically for that person, and ships it promptly to them, after which the customer simply applies it to their device. A Tego skin design reflects the true personal tastes and styles of each and every customer, as they created it entirely themselves. These are the new capabilities of the emerging trend of mass-customization and personalization; the ultimate choice of design and style by every individual person, regardless of what the electronic gadget designer, manufacturer and accessory maker produces.
