It doesn't look like iSkin will quite make the arrival of the Year of the Dragon, which kicks off on January 23, but it's trying to get close with its new "dragon-themed"
iPhone 4/4S Aura cases, which were spotted at
CES in Las Vegas.

iSkin was also showing another new new line of cases for iPhones and iPads that will be released "by summer" with a kind of ruggedly smooth leathery look that got a lot of good feedback at the show. That line doesn't have a name yet.

The Canadian accessories company has also hired supermodel and Montrealer Rick Genest, who's alternatively known as Zombie Boy and Rico the Zombie, to be part of its new ad campaign.

"He's sort of our new spokesperson," said a non-tattooed company spokesperson.

No word on when exactly the Dragon Aura will ship but it's expected to cost $39.99 and come in a few different colors.
