I absolutely love my Kindle Skin from DecalGirl. When ordering, I wasn't sure how thick this skin would be, if it was more like a sticker (which wouldn't really protect my Kindle), or a thicker, true skin like a Gizmobie. It actually turned out to be a nice medium between the two. It's thick enough to protect from most scratches, and it's slightly stretchy--very easy to apply, but thin enough not to get in the way of the buttons or be too thick to hold comfortably. It really spices up my Kindle and makes it feel personalized, while at the same time preventing finger stains, and carry-wear. I had no problems with the skin bubbling in application, and it conforms easily to the curves and edges by stretching slightly when smoothed down carefully. I was also worried that the design would distract my eye and make it harder to read, but I was able to get used to it within minutes and pick back up to my normal reading speed.

The only downside is that now the sides of the Kindle are not as smooth, I can feel the edges of the skin after holding it for a little while. But, to me, it's still comfortable enough to highly recommend.

I'm very happy with my kindle skin. It took me about 5-10 minutes to place even with me being very specific about centered-ness. I put the back on first since it only had the one piece. I set the skin on the kindle and it stuck sort of like plastic wrap until I placed it exactly and pressed down. It was easy to pick back up and shift. I made two tiny slits at the power button protrusion to make it lay flat (about a mm long). When removing the large skin portion from its shipping sheet I had to poke out two of the letter key cutouts, otherwise I was very impressed with how easy it was to remove from the sheet. The labels on the Home and Back keys, etc., aren't exact, but you can't see the original words through the skin. The skin is thicker than I thought it would be (think of a piece of tin foil folded in half) and is slightly stretchy. I pressed the skin on from the center out and very easily pushed out the one or two bubbles I ended up with. The skin is not sticky but feels slightly rubbery and is very easy to hold.

I love this new decal. It makes my Kindle beautiful and unique. It really was simple to put on (Really!) and I had no problems placing the pieces (back and front) to get a smooth look with no bubbles or wrinkles. It is removable (I repositioned it a bit as I was putting it on to get it exactly right), and I might be inclined to buy another one someday just for a change in design. It will protect from fingerprints and smudges and such, but isn't designed to protect from drops. I use it with the Kindle cover, not as a replacement. It also makes holding the Kindle without the cover a little nicer. Without the decal, the back of the Kindle felt a bit slippery to hold on to, but with the decal I am more secure in not using the cover all the time when reading. I like this product as a dress up accessory and would recommend it to others for that purpose.

This design is unique and really makes my kindle stand out from everyone else's. I love how it comes in different models so you can use the same design to pimp out everything else you may own -- laptop, iphone, etc.

The quality is awesome. The decal is a thick material and resilient to slight dings. Also, the stickiness is not overpowering so you can remove and reapply if you can't get it on straight the first time -- this is important for me as I'm a perfectionist. Also, some people mentioned that it was difficult to flatten against the curved edges. This is not a problem, just apply slight pressure and smooth it over the edges.

The best part - is everyone is jealous of how cool my kindle looks. It's one thing to be cool because I have a kindle, it's another to be cool because my kindle's got flava!

From Decalgirl - protects the "handled" parts of the Kindle from scratches, stains, etc. Not an exact fit over the little keyboard buttons but very close. Easy to apply, thicker than some competitors, and probably provides some integrity protection from jolts and knocks - the stretchy skin covers up seams in the back. Overall works as advertised and personalizes your Kindle.

I really like this product. It fits my Kindle 2 perfectly and was VERY easy to put on. It makes the device look nice and helps prevent some of the everyday wear and tear. I am going to get on for my laptop next!

What an inexpensive and easy way to personalize your Kindle 2! I absolutely love it! Thought it might be difficult to line it up and place it correctly on the Kindle - wrong! It was simple. The most difficult part was the little buttons (menu, etc.) but this material allows you to take it back off and try again without any problems.

LOVE IT! My Kindle is so pretty - just want to show it off to everyone!

I was really excited when I purchased this for my new Kindle. I was slightly disappointed when it arrived in the mail. I was expecting something a bit more covering then the sticker was. I was also a little annoyed that the sticker went over the bump on the back and caused the sticker to be raised. I figured for 14.99 plus 5 dollars for shipping, the sticker would be a little more custom made for the Kindle.

Over all the idea of changing skins whenever it suits you is pretty cool. I don't agree with the price, but if the price were to drop to only 4.99 or so I might consider buying a couple more in different designs and colors. It also says it's protective, but I'm not sure besides minor scratches, how the sticker would protect your Kindle. It's a great idea, but a little too expensive and needs a more custom design.

This is an excellent product. It fits the Kindle 2 perfectly, it protects it from scratches. It looks great! I have been recommending it to everyone!

i bought this one and the blue crush from [...]...both very nice and very attractive...and it made my kindle stand out...it's not a perfect fit (as to the keyboard part and the menu/back button) that's why i gave it a 4*s but it's not that noticeable...the quality of the skin is good too..it's not that thin and not too thick that will get on the way...i can still press the keys without any problem...and i love the fact that it protects my kindle from scratches and dings...and btw its so easy to apply and no bubbles at all...love it, love it, love it...buy this product and you will not be sorry
