DecalGirl-Official KindleBoards thread

Maries...I have Photoshop and would be glad to help you out. Just PM me and we'll discuss.

Thanks Alice.  I have photoshop too but working so many hours this year I haven't had the time or patience to sit down and learn it.  Maybe a good winter project.

I've always loved your skins and had a lot of fun making my own for my K2;

Is there any way you can add the cut lines back in to your template?

Or tell us how to do it?  I think if the cut lines were back, I'd be tempted again to start skinning my new Kindles.

Thanks, and welcome to Kindleboards; DecalGirl is very popular with us.

Juli, I have the K3 template with approximate cut lines added. 911JASON from here did it.  I'd be glad to email it to you if you want.  I've emailed him the template for the baby Kindle and I think he's working on adding cut lines to that but I don't have it back yet.  Decal Girl previously told me they had to remove the cut lines due to copyright issues.

just ordered the library skin !!!!!!!

That one is one of my favorites.  And what a perfect skin to put on an ereader!

If you haven't done so already, take a minute to check out the skins from Vlad Studio, who did the "Library" skin:

He produces clever, quirky designs in a variety of styles that I think are really eye catching.

I highly recommend Decal Girl skins, I've bought probably at least 10 of them, and I love designing my own.  I think their customer service is excellent, and that's very important to me.  Keith who works in customer service is usually the one I talk to and he's great.  One time they accidentally sent me a glossy skin when I had ordered matte, and after contacting Keith, they overnighted me the correct skin, and this was for one I designed, not one they had in stock!  Keep up the good work, Decal Girl!

One other thing I've discovered recently....I have two K3's (one regular, one SO).  On my regular K3 I have a skin I designed, and I "faded" the colors on it, so that it's lighter around the screen and darker around where the keys are, and I always thought that I preferred a lighter skin around the screen.  Then just the other day I put a new skin on my SO K3 and it's a darker color overall and I'm finding that I actually prefer the darker colors around the screen, it does seem to make the contrast better.  Who knew???

Edited to add:  Here's the Decal Girl skin I have on my K3 SO.

Thanks for the compliments on our customer service, Patricia!  That, like everything else we do, is right here on site.  You'll never call DecalGirl and talk to "Peggy."  (hopefully everyone gets that reference!    )

I haven't talked to a "Peggy" yet <grin>

[PG4003 (Patricia)]

Oh, I get it!  No, I've never talked to "Peggy" either.

I love the library skin, it is the first skin I bought and it is still on my K2.

DecalGirl rocks!
I have skins on my laptop, my mini, my DSi, my BlackBerry and most of my Kindles.  The one on my DSi is a custom order and it was very easy to do - but I just asked for a color change on an existing pattern.
I'm waiting for the Fire and the Touch before I order my next batch of skins

And Welcome to Kindle Boards!

[Pushka]

Hmm, what is the issue with Peggy then?

I love decalgirl - and I too have several.  Now, just working out what to get for my phone, tablet, new kindle....

Hi everyone!  I hope the weather is nicer where you are than it is here in coastal Sussex County Delaware today!

Anyway, I wanted to share something that in the excitement of getting this thread going and meeting all you good folks I had almost forgotten about:

From now until the end of October, DecalGirl is offering the following promotion:  Buy 2 or more skins, and get 99¢ super saver shipping.

After today I am off until Monday, so I'll say "have a good weekend" to everyone a little early.

Hi Bill,
Welcome to the boards.  For those of us getting newer kindles for Christmas, is there a discount code for the holidays? I have your skins on my K1's (2), my K3 and want to get one for my new K Touch. I buy several for each as I change them with the seasons. They have lasted for three years so far. Thanks for such a great product!

[Bill at DecalGirl]

Hi Beachgrl,

Thanks for the comment about our products!  We have been running a variety of promotions for the holidays, with the free UPS shipping being the current one.  The best way to keep up with them is to check out our Facebook page  www.facebook.com/decalgirl or go directly to our website.  Promotions are usually advertised at the top of the homepage.  Unfortunately you missed our promotion last weekend:  buy one skin get the second one at 50% off.  But there will be others.  Stay tuned.....

I got your burlwood cover for my Kindle 3, and it feels like I'm handling a piece of art every time I use the device. Thanks for having such a wide selection.
