Samsung files patent to turn digital phone to phone skin



Samsung has filed for patent that will allow users to take a digital photo or image wallpaper and electronically wrap it around their entire device.

Although Samsung’s patent just covers minimal feature, Nokia released a concept video last year which shows the potential of this feature. Check out the video:
