I took a look at the Crunchbase entry for Infectious and was not terribly impressed. I can see that they are offering a unique product at a substantial savings to similar products (like car wraps) but I believe that they could really offer customers more.
So, let me start off by saying I like the idea of skins for everyday objects: laptops, mp3 players, game systems, and at times - cars. Infectious offers a small portion of what most other skin manufacturers offer but - unlike most other skin manufactures they also make car decals. One of the first reasons I dislike Infectious is because they have very limited designs which don’t offer a wide variety of styles to consumers. After checking out the site my husband, a couple friends, and I concluded that there were no designs we would ever want to place on our cars. There were not even designs available that we would want to look at on other people’s cars.
Second their lack of skins for other products is a let down as well. Most websites offering skins have much more variety in designs and are available for more products. I will say that I do like their designs for home electronics more than I like their car decals.
While offering car decals is neat I would be more impressed if Infectious could put together something similar to Skinit.com which allows customers to upload their own artwork and make truly custom skins. Skinit.com also offers a plethora of designs as well – hopefully they don’t get into car decals or Infectious might go out of business just like their current competitor CarArt.com seems to have.
