GelaSkins Protective Skin for my Kindle just arrived. While easy to put on and very attractive, I was very disappointed that it didn't include a protective covering for the viewing screen. I feel the description of the product is misleading. It implies that the skin protects against scratches, dust and UV damage which it may do for the back of the Kindle, but the important part, the reading area, is not protected. I wish I had known this before I purchased the product. GelaSkins Kindle Skin (Fits 6" Display, Latest Generation Kindle) Almond Branches
It came yesterday - went on very nicely! I was a bit worried that it would be difficult to position, but was no problem at all. I love the look and feel of it. Since GelaSkins did not have a glossy or matt choice, I think it is in-between. I keep it in an zipper pad-folio case I got from a local hotel, will do until I find the perfect case. I'm in no rush tho. It looks really nice especially with the Audobon book cover screen saver - birds and branches etc. : ) Wish we could load our own screen saver, tho. I really love my Kindle3 and how it looks all dressed up!
I thought this was supposed to be a protective cover, like the kind of cushioning skin that you get for a cell phone. Really this is just a decal sticker that is for looks only. I was disappointed at first, but after I got it on and realized I probably couldn't return it anyway, I am just appreciating it for making my Kindle look pretty and more unique. Other than that it really serves no practical purpose. If I could take it back and get my $20 back I would.
I ordered this for my Kindle 3, so that I would protect it with out haveing to
place it in a case that would add weight. Between the Green Onion screen protector and this
I feel that I can throw it in my purse and go. I really had no problem placing the skin on the
kindle, I lined the bottom edge up with the bottom edge of the kindle plastic face plates and every thing
went down smoothly. The look is attractive and stands out from the other things, magazines etc on my
end tables, so I can always locate it. Over all I am very pleased with this purchase.
I'm a big fan of cell phone covers, PDA skins, etc. So, I love the way this skin looks on my Kindle. Plus, I'm an Old Masters fan and Van Gogh is a favorite. It covers the Kindle well, and was relatively easy to put on. I'd recommend it.
I did not see the GelaSkin cover I really liked so I went to their website and was able to upload my own art work. I received it in about a week. It is really fantastic! I was surprised that my bank added a $.55 cent transfer fee to transfer the payment to Canada, but it was still worth the price. It went on easily and I've had it about a week and so far it is staying in place. If this one gets dirty or I get tired of it I will definitely go back to their web site and buy another one.
This is clearly marketed as a skin by GelaSkins, and that's what you will get. It is great quality, thick and covers up much of the kindle. Some other brand skins do not even cover between the keys. You need a steady hand and clean kindle to apply. It looks great on my k3 with a handmade leather case from Oberon designs.
I thought this skin would be like a cell phone cover and protect the kindle more. It was just a sheet of stick-on paper. It's pretty, but now I still have to order a case protector for it. I'm a little peeved.
Love it!Love it!Love it! It is what I expected and much easier than I thought to apply. The skin is backed by 3M Controltac removeable sticky paper. Finish is in between matt and low sheen. Slight invisible texture to assist with non slip while holding. There are even covers for each button and page turner if you like. I order the clear plastic hard case for protection. It was clear to me this was to dress up the Kindle and protect from scratches. Screen protectors are avail on Amazon for about $2.00. Nope don't work for them just a shopper like you.
This is a very cute cover, and it has been very protective to my kindle. Although my parents assumed it would be like a silicone case, they are impressed by the amount of abuse it has taken up and been very good at taking a beating. Very good case, it would be better if it came with a screen protector as I have to wait to get mine in the mail.... :( - Kindle Covers - Skins - Kindle Skins - Kindle 3'
