I wasn't sure I needed a "skin" for my Kindle, but after being persuaded by a friend, ordered one. I love love love it. It took seconds to put on - NO bubbles, no problems. Also, It adds so much character to my Kindle!! I was afraid it would be distracting while I was reading. I am now finding that to NOT be the case. I only notice it when I want to! I love the color that it brings to a normally black and white device. I described it today to a friend that it "just makes me happy."

this skin is beautiful. it fits perfectly and is easy to apply and adjust, if needed. it looks like a part of the kindle, not like something that was applied onto it. i wanted to personalize my kindle and give it a bit of protection while i read. i'm still buying a carrying case for when i take it places. this cover (and my kindle, which i love love love!) are even better than i'd hoped for and i couldn't be happier.
I am so excited with this skin. I have my kindle in a cover to protect it but now when I open it, my kindle looks awesome. What a way to brighten up the white and black choices of the kindle. Was easy to apply, you just have to go slow and steady to get on even.
The colors and designs on these skins are great and look as good in person as on the computer.
I bought one to jazz up the plain color of my Kindle, just wanted to add a little color to it.
The product fit wasn't as good as I expected. I had to reposition the front skin a couple of times to line it up with the page turning buttons on the sides. If you are off a little to one side or the other, you won't be able to use the side buttons on the long side. It's key to line up the skin with the sides. With the sides lined up, some of the keyboard spaces and the edge around the screen, were a little off. In the end that doesn't seem to be a big deal, I just notice it.
Also, the skin makes the Kindle harder to hold. The soft grip of the Kindle back is covered up and now the Kindle feels slippery. Perhaps leave the back skin off? I keep mine in a Kindle cover most of the time anyway.
I like the designs and might consider buying more than one if the cost per item was lower. As it is, the cost was high for the product.
I have to say, as a person who is generally not interested in personalizing my gadgets, I LOVE THIS SKIN! I can't believe how cheery it is and how much it enhances my reading. I adore my Kindle--didn't think it could get better. Five stars, DecalGirl (just wish the shipping wasn't so much for such a tiny item, no biggie though).
I love the skin (Forest) that I bought for my Kindle. It jazzes up the Kindle a little and makes it more uniquely mine, plus every time I see it, it puts a smile on my face. The skin was very easy to apply.
While I didn't mislead myself into thinking this would be anything more than a large expensive sticker, I did expect at least some level of quality given the price. Unfortunately it did not live up to this hope. The printing itself is very nice, good color, and the material appears thick and durable. The problem is that the printing and the cutout don't line up. The printing on the sticker is about a quarter of an inch to the left of the cutout of the sticker.
This leaves a quarter inch on the right edge of the sticker that is not the pattern, but the edge of it, as well as the white surrounding paper. It also means that the arrows on the button covers for the page movement buttons either don't appear on the button, or only part of the line does.
This is basic quality control that has been overlooked. I wouldn't expect this at any price, but certainly not for the high cost of these covers. This is the first skin I've bought from this company and given what I've received I'll be returning it and not ordering anymore.
I love my Kindle skin! This looks great on my white Kindle (better looking than the graphite one pictured) and was fairly easy to apply. It took a few tries but was much more manageable than I anticipated. I was concerned that having the colorful border around the screen would be a distraction but it's not at all...I'm happy to have some personality slapped onto the device and happy that it virtually disappears once I start reading. - Kindle 3 - Skins - Kindle - Decalgirl'
