New Review: Helio Ocean Skins (+Goodies)
Posted by Justin B. on May 24th, 2008 at 12:58 AM
As you may or may not have noticed, you can now purchase a selection of five Helio Ocean skins from the online Helio store, and we were able to get our hands on some from Helio to check em’ out! They are the same kind you can get from MyTego.com except the price is half of what you’d pay there. At just $15 dollars a pop, it isn’t too bad for some harmless customization.
And since we didn’t want them all to go to waste, we only applied one of them for the review so we could give the other four away in a … *dramatic drumroll* … contest!
To enter just comment on this post and we will randomly pick four people. Remember, we need to be able to contact you if you win, so make sure when you comment you are using a valid e-mail address. Only one entry per person. Enjoy! Contest ends May 31st, 2008 at 11:59pm

Sounds good.
+1.
May 24th, 2008 at 1:23 am
These are kinda cool. I’d be afraid of putting the keyboard skin on. Mess that one up and you’d have to buy another.
May 24th, 2008 at 1:37 am
Awesome.
I was just thinking how my Ocean could use a makeover. =)
May 24th, 2008 at 1:43 am

May 24th, 2008 at 2:03 am

May 24th, 2008 at 2:06 am
I love my ocean.. but I’m bored with the color, the skins look like the solution.
May 24th, 2008 at 2:15 am

I can’t wait for the new ocean! but in the meantime I’m gonna keep my eye on these
May 24th, 2008 at 8:26 am

May 24th, 2008 at 10:31 am
YOO werd ??? Half Price ??? i made one the other day and it was goin to be 30 sum..good thing i didnt order yet ..hopefully i win lol !!!!
May 24th, 2008 at 10:40 am
I like how Helio totally stole our idea hahaha. We found that website first!!!
May 24th, 2008 at 10:49 am
This will just have to do until some new device surfaces out from under this ocean. (Pun intended). Get helio to send you some leaked photos of SOMETHING! Agreed? And unlike this gift from helio you don’t even have to give them to me and will be happy!
May 24th, 2008 at 10:50 am
Having one of these skins will turn more heads.
Thanks for the chance.
May 24th, 2008 at 11:13 am
I was thinking of getting a new skin for my ocean. Those look nice.
May 24th, 2008 at 11:15 am
iv used mytego before, good skins but iv never tried them on my ocean looks awesome!
May 24th, 2008 at 11:15 am
well i was gonna do the whole taking apart sanding, painting thing…but this sounds much better. hopefully ocean 2 will have a little customization availability like the fin but with better choices. count me in for the contest!!!
May 24th, 2008 at 11:27 am
Gotta love anything that can make a great thing even better. I’m in!
May 24th, 2008 at 11:40 am
I can’t believe no one told me that I didn’t post the link to the review. Thanks guys!!! Hahah
May 24th, 2008 at 11:56 am
I’d love a skin for my ocean!!!
May 24th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
I could use one of those!
May 24th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
I hope i get picked!!!i love my OCEAN!!
May 24th, 2008 at 12:33 pm

May 24th, 2008 at 12:34 pm

May 24th, 2008 at 12:38 pm
For the price, I’ll probably buy one even when I don’t win.
May 24th, 2008 at 1:07 pm
i couldve sworn someone commented that today they were going to release white oceans… well whatever i guess you could just buy some white stickers for the same effect… or better yet a three month process of producing one yourself lol jk
May 24th, 2008 at 1:21 pm
free stuff is my favorite kinda stuff.
May 24th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
these skins look really good, a lot like the ipod ones going around
May 24th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
Neat! I’d love one!
May 24th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
I would actually take the pink heart 1 cause I can get the 2 month free referal thing if Helio were to have a pink phone haha
May 24th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
I WANT A SKIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OR THE OCEAN GETS MR.WATER
May 24th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
Hey I thought the next contest would be for donors lol… O well, the next PHONE giveaway will be for donors lol
May 24th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
wicked sick..good to see helio working with other companies on this.
…yeah, yeah. so i totally want one…
May 24th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
I vote that we send the Heart Motif set to Bida. You know he wants it.
May 24th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
This awesome. I hope I win.
May 24th, 2008 at 4:26 pm
Cool I wonder Greg if your white ocean had something to do with this?
May 24th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
I picked one up!!! they are awesome!
May 24th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
I got the one that justin has on his ocean, itsd nice, i like some of the others too!
May 24th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
I want one I have 2 Ocean’s and I would like to have one plane and the other one with skin on it but if I don’t win I’ll just spend the money and buy one.
May 24th, 2008 at 11:28 pm
Wow, i like the 13 Garden. Reminds me of the #13 on my mind falling onto my lap of Nymphs.
May 24th, 2008 at 11:54 pm
the skins are pretty darn fancy. I WANT ONE!..
May 25th, 2008 at 12:08 am
Heiocity rocks! This is where I come to get my Helio news since they’re not so good with publishing alot of stuff like instructions on how to best use their products. I think if they did a better job “educating”, they’d do much better than they are right now.
May 25th, 2008 at 12:20 am
thats so cool …man am despret…im replying this from the crapper…contact me please ..(323)947-6425..i dont care if any body knows my number

Sure send one my way =)
May 25th, 2008 at 2:52 am
RAWR!!!!!
May 25th, 2008 at 5:41 am
it’s nice to see that more and more companies are taking notice of Helio owners. Shows that the community is gaining strength.
May 25th, 2008 at 6:22 am
I really want one of those!
May 25th, 2008 at 6:38 am
I love em!!!!!! they look hot.
May 25th, 2008 at 9:07 am
Ummmm Sure Great, What????
May 25th, 2008 at 10:08 am
Maybe its just me but I love the “classic black” Ocean. Although I will be giving the white version a serious look when you guys finish yours. Actually, I guess since I’ve skinned everything else i own (PSP, Ipod, laptop, Xbox, PS3) I may as well skin my Ocean LOL
May 25th, 2008 at 10:19 am
i wanna win! please~!
May 25th, 2008 at 10:27 am
Increasing the visual appeal of the Ocean is always beneficial.
May 25th, 2008 at 11:28 am
i win!
May 25th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
I never win… but it never hurts to try!
May 25th, 2008 at 2:17 pm
AMERICAS NEXT TOP HELIO OCEAN !
WOO I WANT TO WIN
May 25th, 2008 at 2:26 pm
woo~
May 25th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
Good to see that you got these skins here… I was just on Helio’s site the other day (in a long time) since I was about to order some accessories and I noticed they had new Ocean Skins. Next to Helio, I trust this site the most (even more than Helio since the people here are much more of a help then Helio themselves) so I think I’ll be ordering from you.
May 25th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
Sweet! I want one!
May 25th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
those look really nice! and the ocean’s look is already appealing, but the skins will make it even hotter
May 25th, 2008 at 10:26 pm
HA! I just responded about not knowing what the back looked like about these things and then Justin post this!!! genius. These actually look great now that I’ve seen the back.
May 25th, 2008 at 10:32 pm
I like playing on here while at work

May 26th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
It would be pretty sweet to win one of these. My Ocean could definitely use a facelift.
May 26th, 2008 at 3:20 pm

May 27th, 2008 at 12:33 am

Hey everyone…..if you like the designs on the skins in the picture above just wait until you see all the other super awesome options mytego.com has on their website……you can custom make you own skin ….so if you have a favorite artist you can show them off on your helio or ….if you wanted to put a picture of yourself or pet or something you can do that as well….I ordered a skin and Im super stoked to get it on my Helio as soon as possible!!!
May 27th, 2008 at 10:12 am
Hey these are pretty nifty
Are they the snap kind or the peel n stick?
May 27th, 2008 at 10:41 am

“I ordered a skin and Im super stoked to get it on my Helio as soon as possible!!!”
Interesting @mytego.com e-mail address you have there.
May 27th, 2008 at 7:56 pm
I think the skins are awesome, but I cant find the site (besides mytego) where they are on sale for $15, it’s really confusing me because your link only takes me to my myhelio page and no where in there is there a “store” section.
May 27th, 2008 at 10:10 pm
these are neat.
May 27th, 2008 at 11:24 pm
ooh kewl I really like the one with the hearts, and the one u used for example!
May 28th, 2008 at 12:01 am
I WOULD LOVE THESE!!!!
May 28th, 2008 at 10:51 am

May 28th, 2008 at 5:21 pm
Gimme some
May 28th, 2008 at 6:51 pm
I did not win schwag
Hoping to score free stickers
Maybe this time’s mine
May 28th, 2008 at 8:00 pm
Those skins look cool. I need one for my ocean, it’s looking kinda beat up. could use a new paint job.
May 29th, 2008 at 9:50 am
Nice, but with the Ocean 2 incoming. I want to start saving up for that.
May 29th, 2008 at 2:14 pm
i want one
May 29th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
If I dont win, I may have to submit my Ocean for an episode of What Not To Wear.
Save me!
May 29th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
Hook me up.
May 31st, 2008 at 6:47 am
Hmm, sounds good!
Count me in
May 31st, 2008 at 12:36 pm
Much cheaper on Helio.com, but you get more choices on MyTego.com, and you even get to design your own….But nothing beats half price….Hook a sista up!!!!!
May 31st, 2008 at 12:37 pm
