Leslie,

Any of the corners or edges curling or lifting up?

Thanks

No, not at all. It feels very tightly attached.

Hiya Rusty...I've mentioned it somewhere else before but can't remember where...they have some of the best skins out there. I had one on my old phone and I was constantly putting in and taking the phone out of my jean pocket. I looked at it the other day and it still looks like brand new, not one bit of lifting or curling. Hope this helps.

Leslie, thanks for the info about the skins. I had read where someone here  (can't recall who was having trouble getting the skin on) stretching I think. I am going to wait and see if I win one.  TEE HEE HEE  Wink If not I guess I will take the plunge and order. Ruby is feeling under accessorized now.  Cry

Linda,  I was the one who posted looking for help getting the back on b/c I stretched it out a bit.  I wrote to decalgirl.com asking for help and they are going to send me another one, I only have to pay for shipping.  I think that is extremely generous and kind of them.  I will definitely buy from them again and recommend them to anyone.

Sir William certainly looks sophisticated in his musical skin.  All dressed up and ready to go dancin'. 

Now, I'm going to have to get one.  Gertie K will never get a date in her plain white dress.  I am going to wait until my artistic daughter comes to visit.  I just know I'll mess up and get it on crooked.  I wouldn't even put the numbers on my mailbox until she was here to do it.

Thanks for posting.  Sir William looks great in his new outfit.  I'm waiting for my Kindle to arrive, looks like it will become my Christmas gift  Tongue

I've been browsing Decalgirl's sight.....I've narrowed it down to three!  Wink

Everyone's pictures of their Kindles is making me drool all over myself.

I have a red M-edge cover and am worried about the dye from it getting all over my kindle. I think this is a great way to dress the K up a bit and protect it from the dye transfer. Thanks Leslie for the picts. It looks a lot easier than I thought it would be.

Thank you Leslie!!! Thank you for posting your pictures & what you did, & how things went. I'm bumping this thread to the top. I like that musical design on a white background.

You are very welcome. I am very happy with the symphonic skin. It still looks great.

Question about the skins--are they very sticky?--as in once you put them on, if you ever decide to take them off will they leave a sticky residue?  That is my concern.  Thanks  Smiley

I have two skins for my kindle (Blue flower burst and Zen revisited) I have changed the skins a couple of times and they are fine. Its just that you need to be careful when removing the skin from around the keyboard. The thin skin that lies between the keys can tear.

I can't quite figure the skins out. They don't seem to stick with an adhesive, but they also adhere like iron. No lifting, no curling at the edges. I have one on my iphone and I am amazed at how well it is adhering.
