What you need to know
- Microsoft launched a website for original Surface skins inspired by celebrities and influencers.
- The website features designs inspired by former NFL player Martellus Bennett and creator Cache Bunny.
- The skins featured on the website are made by dbrand.
The website features original designs inspired by different celebrities and influencers, such as creator Cache Bunny and former NFL player Martellus Bennett. In total, there are seven skins featured right now, six of which are inspired by people. The seventh is dbrand's well-known Robot Camo pattern. Each featured person also has a video that tells their story and a section that breaks down the Surface kit that they use.
If you click the section to redesign your Surface, you're taken to an area to pick out your skin. You have to select a category of Surface first, such as Surface Pro, and then you can pick a specific model. For example, if you'd like a skin for your Surface Pro X, you have to first select Surface Pro and then specify that you want a skin for the Surface Pro X.
When you've picked out what you'd like to buy, going to your cart redirects you to dbrand's website.
The website seems a bit awkward to navigate at this point, especially with a keyboard and mouse. There are several different types of movement required to navigate the site, including clicking and dragging a page, clicking through content, and ultimately jumping to another website entirely to make a purchase. It doesn't load on Edge on my Android phone either at this point.
Your reward for navigating the website is a unique set of skins for just about any Surface device that you'd like.
These original Surface skins are inspired by celebrities and creators. They're available on just about every piece of Surface hardware that you can purchase.
