BUILD A MOUNT
The IntelliSkin® is the cornerstone to the GDS® Ecosystem™—a protective sleeve that transforms any device's USB-C port into a set of flat pogo pads that extend the life of device and enable a fumble-free charging experience. Currently, there are three styles of IntelliSkin®, the IntelliSkin® Next Gen, the IntelliSkin® Hard Case, and the IntelliSkin® Thin-Case™. Each style of IntelliSkin® has unique features, ideal for different industries and environments. This article only applies to the IntelliSkin® Next Gen style, which features a device sleeve that combines a hard plastic shell with soft, shock-absorbing rubber. This combination hits the mark for military-grade drop protection (MIL-STD-810G) making it the preferred solution for industries such as material handling, field service, waste disposal, and more.

Why Customize Your IntelliSkin®
The standard IntelliSkin® Next Gen comes in RAM® Black and Light Gray, both of which are readily available for purchase on rammount.com. There are a number of reasons why customizing the color of your company's IntelliSkin® in your next deployment could be beneficial, such as color coding to avoid resource misallocation, increased visibility, or to reinforce your brand's identity.
Color Code for Efficiency
When your business has a variety of teams working cross-functionally in the same space, it can be easy for devices to get mixed up, misplaced, or forgotten about. By assigning teams, locations, or devices with a specific color, your team will be able to easily recognize which device is theirs and which is not.
Additionally, color-coding devices can streamline the inventory and charging process, making it quicker and more efficient to conduct audits and ensure all devices are account for at the end of the day. In environments like warehouses, factories, or field operations where multiple devices are in use simultaneously, custom-colored IntelliSkin®s can be a game changer in maintaining order and organization within your company.
Increased Visibility
In fast-paced work environments where heavy machinery is commonplace, worker safety is always top of mind. Workers and expensive equipment are kept safe by integrating highly visible vests and equipment. Businesses can prioritize safety by customizing their next deployment of IntelliSkin® Next Gen with hi-vis colors. Ensure that your investment in top of the line devices does not blend into a busy, dull environment.
A common safety color worth consider that's widely used in the construction industry would be a high visibility orange. Consider the other equipment wrapped in orange to ensure drivers and workers remain safe—safety cones, directional signs, and more.
Brand Identity
The practical applications for a fleet of custom colored IntelliSkin® are clear, however this new ability to customize the color of your IntelliSkin® Next Gen opens the door for business to have a little more fun and company pride than is typically allowed by the standard IntelliSkin® color.
Brand consistency and recognition is a powerful tool in customer perception, reinforce your corporate branding and identity with a fleet of custom-colored IntelliSkin® Next Gen. This is particularly valuable to customer-facing industries such as retail, hospitality, healthcare, and transportation. As your company representatives operate in their communities, the custom-colored IntelliSkin® will visually align your employees with your brand. This subtle yet effective branding tool can make a lasting impression on customers, clients, and partners.

Beyond color selection, there is one additional way to customize the IntelliSkin® Next Gen.
