I love checking in on Screen Skinz® customers, especially when I notice repeat purchases. It’s a great way for us to get meaningful feedback, which one customer recently asked about turning a meaningful family photo into a screen protector. As we continue building our roadmap, this is a capability that Clay Canning and Hunter Beall have been developing. To show our appreciation for her support and enthusiasm for the product, we created this custom screen for Ms. Vicky at no cost. Check out how it turned out! Her reaction was priceless and validates our mission to make screen protectors canvases for self-expression and meaning 🥹
