Update - Ok, now which Oberon cover should I get to go with this skin? I would love to have the Seaside cover, but they don't make it in a cover.  So which one would you pick? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cagnes was kind enough to make me a skin, and I LOVE it! Now I need to decide if I want matte or glossy. Help! I have a Gelaskins on my Kindle now and I like it (it's glossy). I have a matte DG on my phone and I'm not a huge fan, but that could just be the design that I have an issue with. So, here it is - Which finish should I get?!  |

Haha, that looks quite familiar! I ordered mine in matte, and it should be here tomorrow if you want to wait and see the pic. Btw, what case do you have?  |

Yes, it does!  She told me she already made someone one with those library cards (you have great taste! LOL), so she purposely tried to make it different. I hope you don't mind that they are similar! (ETA: I originally thought I wanted flowers, but when I saw the shells, I fell in love). I have a black M-edge Go case right now, but eventually I think I want an Oberon. Now if we could get them to make the Seaside design into a Kindle case. |

No, I don't mind! I had sent her all of the seashell library card files just in case she wanted to use them again. I have the gold go jacket, which I think will look great with it. However, I am already plotting to get a purple icon case and a different skin. I love the artist who does these patterns, I am so glad that christine found the designer decals website!

Another BEAUTIFUL skin...
I have to say, I really like the matte finish. It's very much like the texture of the Kindle itself. Also, I think anybody who uses a booklight should get the matte because there's no glare

Thank you for saying that because I just ordered the Kandle today. I guess matte it is!  |

I know, I hadn't even considered that when I ordered my skin because I don't have a light yet. Good thing I picked matte!

I would love for Oberon to make the Seaside available for the Kindle. I really want it in taupe. That's such a pretty color in real life. Of course I'd have to get one of these beautiful seaside type skins to go along with it.

Love that skin! I just got my matte Colours skin and I love it-the texture is great and the fact that there will be no glare w/the light is an added bonus.

Did you send them an email? They told me they do keep track of requests. |

I was wondering the same thing, whether anyone had asked for Seaside to be available as a K2 cover. I would love to get it too. It is available as a large journal, though, and I had also thought about doing what a couple of our other crafty members have done and convert the large journal into a K2 cover with the Amazon cover.
I think I'll ask about it--maybe if they get enough emails, they'll consider adding it (if it's technically feasible).

Okay, now we need to ALL request Seaside in taupe so that we have a cover to perfectly match this skin.

Oh no, if they started offering that one, I'd be tempted to order one for myself!  |

Now that I think about it though I would probably get blue ROH because it's my favorite by far from oberon. Even though it wouldn't go perfectly.

I was also thinking that the Sun cover in saddle might be a good fit. I wish I could find a picture of it though. I've only seen it in red.

That's the thing - you have a beautiful skin luvmy4brats, yet can still imagine replacing it with another - just wish they were all properly re-usable.

Oh it'll be awhile before I replace this one. Trust me. I just want to be prepared when I convince Oberon to make the Seaside Cover in taupe (a girl can dream) I've reused a few of my skins. A couple have gone 3 times. The trick is using a hair dryer... If it's one I want to keep, I'm extra careful removing it (use the hair dryer to heat it up a bit, it comes off a lot easier) but if it stretches some, that's ok. Then I put it back on the sheet it originally came on (I remove the extra stuff). When I want to put it back on I just reapply. If it's stretched out, just use the hair dryer and smooth with fingers. I ALWAYS stretch mine some when putting it on. I do it to cover the kindle a bit better (especially the buttons), but I don't recommend that for the faint of heart. Lol |

I'd get the Hokusai Wave in Navy- contrast will be stunning!
