It looks as though the folks from Iomega took a seminar in how to be hip and applied everything they learned to their new line of Iomega Skin branded portable hard drives. Check it out, yo:

"The new Iomega Skin Drives exude an alternative personality with eye-catching Skin Industries graphics that demand the attention of anyone who doesn't accept the status quo, who zigs when others zag, especially when it comes to the look and design of their digital devices," said Jonathan Huberman, President of Iomega and the Consumer and Small Business Products Division of EMC. "Iomega's new Skin Drives deliver that kind of excitement in a lightweight, compact design with the quality features people expect from Iomega, including industry-leading ruggedness to protect your data and a top-tier software suite bundled free of charge with every Skin Hard Drive. That's an unbeatable personal storage combination for tech-savvy students and young professionals alike."

Iomega's keeping it real, homie, and these drives come in three different funky fresh designs, including "Red Hot," "Knock Out," and "Radical," all intended to "create a definition of hip and hot for today's young iconoclastic computer user." Sporting 500GB each, there's enough room to store up to 200,000 photo, over 125,000 songs, or more than 190 hours of video, homeslice.

The drives are available now for $120 each. Word up.
