 I just got this new skin today, I really love the Van Gogh branches. It was sent pretty quick via ups but the envelope & skin was pretty mangled (see below) and I was a little upset...though I suspected that it would be okay once I applied it to my Kindle and luckily I was right. I like the look of it, the buttons have no names so it gives it a kind of seemless look... though time will tell if I can remember which button is which. It is pretty shiny but not too much and the colors are very rich. Gelaskins are a little pricier than DG but I just loved this pattern and they have a lot of other cool choices. http://www.gelaskins.com/The case is a lovely Borsa Bella naked sleeve from her new spring collection!  It looked the truck had run over the envelope, apparently UPS has no comprehension of the words "Do Not Bend" |

I am not sure of the pattern name, I know it is brand new and a laminated one but could not find it on her site.

Your combination is stunning! I purchased the same skin initially, but never applied it to my Kindle. While I absolutely love it, I decided I like the look of the cut outs for the buttons that decalgirl does, as well as the names on the page turn and menu buttons. It is sitting "in reserve".

I'm pretty sure that's an Amy Butler fabric. I *love* her designs! Your combo is perfect! I could be very happy with that  |

Vlad is back, and this time he's hungry. I mean, really hungry. I could explain the plot of this one, but I think I'm going to eat, instead. Steven Brust's synopsis of Druz.

Ooh, I love it, and thanks for giving Gelaskins some love. I had one of their skins before I ever had a DG, and there are things I love about both. Yours is beautiful, and I'd thought about getting that one... I might just have to now! |

luvmy4brats: Do you have an IPad? I am considering the plunge for web browsing. Nothing will replace my Kindle for reading. Any wireless connection problems??

Not yet. Key word is YET I'm trying to convince my husband it would make a better Mother's Day present than Birthday present (which isn't until July) I am starting to shop for accessories already though and I love this skin. I normally buy from DecalGirl because I'm not fond of Gelaskins for Kindle (I don't care for the way they do the buttons) but this skin is very tempting |

By "way" ... do you mean because there is no label on the buttons? That did throw me at first. I did not notice it when I ordered it and I actually thought about leaving them off, since my last skin was a "skin it" and they do not give you buttons at all. However, I decided to try it, figuring I could always remove them later. I have read with it for awhile now and I actually really like it. I quickly realized I don't need the labels and I really no longer look at the buttons to use them anyway. I also think it looks much prettier with out the labels. Oh and thanks so much Ayuryogini! |

I'm sorry, I meant keyboard. I like how DecalGirl has each individual key cut out as opposed to just a cutout around the whole thing.
As for the buttons, I'd actually like it if my buttons weren't labeled.

Oh yeah. That is another big difference, it does make putting the skin on a little easier. I do not mind it, but I can understand why others would. |

I must add that Gelaskins get an A+ for customer service. I sent them an email and pics of my wrinkled up skin, before I decided to try it out and see if it was still usable. They responded telling me they would send me a new one and also a claim for ups. I told them it actually looked fine and I did not need a new one. They still refunded my shipping! How cool is that ! |
