What a unique skin.  I've only owned DecalGirl. My first was glossy (they didn't offer matte at the time), I ordered matte as soon as it was offered and I've never looked back. Keep us posted once you receive the skin; I'm interested to see how 'glossy' you think it is and if it creates a glare with your light. |

I am a HUGE baseball fan saw this a few months ago and loved it so with baseball upon us very soon I went ahead. It may be a bit before I post I'll have to wait for someone to apply it for me as I have use of one hand |

ok I applied mine and I must say, it feels very sturdy with the crosshatch pattern vinyl. It was easy to apply and feels great. As for the glossy finish, doesnt look to bad but I havent looked at it in the sunlight yet. My only con is it didnt come with instructions but rather lots of marketing pages which I thought silly cos I've already bought the products so why would I need marketing....I need instructions! lol But it was simple enough to put on. ps: http://tails.co.za/2012/01/skinned/ |

I've had my DecalGirl Dark Burlwood skin for over a year and it's held up quite well. Also have the screen shield from there, though I don't remember what it's called. Both have kept my kindle looking new and sharp.

What does pressing too hard do to the skin?

For the first time, I am seriously thinking of getting a Decalgirl skin for my K Touch. I registered on the site. Saved a few skins to My Wishlist. When I go to My Wishlist Settings, it shows I have 8 saved. When I go into My Wishlist, only 3 are shown. I tried various things (??), but there's always only three. Am I stoooopid?  Anyone know 'bout Wishlist on Decalgirl? I e-mailed, but no one is there until tomorrow morning. |

I have been using Decalgirl and I love it! I decided to take a look at Gelaskins website and I really like some of their skins also, I think I am going to give a try! I have around 5 skins on my wish list there! |

I always use Decal Girl. I much prefer the matte finish, and I like their template which I can use to design my own. Also, Decal Girl customer service is superb, as good as Amazon's IMO.
You can design your own? I would love that - but I can't find where you go on Decal Girl to do that. Does anyone have a link? |

  And what can I say about the way Italy is portrayed? Simply. Brilliant. Italy is very much the third main character... Sometimes it sits quietly in the background and sometimes it comes forward in all its splendour. The exaltation of food flavours and textures, the colourful descriptions of people and places… they all help create a genuine picture of Italy, which is not idyllic in any way. --Silvia Mazzobel, Book After Book |

I didn't have any luck with DG customer service. I emptied my Wishlist and tried again. In one place, site shows I have 6 items in my Wishlist. And again there was only 2 (one less than before). I called their customer service twice. No help really. Couldn't offer any help, explanation, anything.

I didn't have any luck with decal girls CS either. I wanted a specific print they offer, but on the device I wanted it the cropping was not to my liking. It was cropped better on other devices so I send a very nice email asking if I could get it cropped differently. I got a canned answer telling me it the copywriten and not allowed. So I pointed out that it was cropped better on different devices and recropping should not affect the copywrite. Still no go.
With Gelaskins I do not even have to ask. I can use their skin generator and crop to my hearts desire. And they are now cheaper as the matte finish is standard and not an up charge like decalgirls. Just ordered a DX skin for $20 when decalgirl charges $25. Better skin, better price. No contest.

I like DecalGirl matte skins the best and found them easy to install.
I tried Gelaskins and liked the quality and the designs but not the gloss. I will definitely check them out again if they offer a matte finish.
I contacted Invisible Defenders and the incoherency of their response turned me off to the company but they (unfortunately) had many designs I liked. I read of at least one person having an issue when ordering through the company but you can get them through Amazon.
Ditto on everything here - to make it even more confusing, Zagg also has skins. I bought on for my Kindle Fire but am using a Decalgirl Cherry Blossoms skin. Caroline |
