I'm also happy with my Gelaskin. Keeping in mind that I'm probably a bit shallow , I adore the various Gelaskin prints -- the colours are wonderfully vivid, and sometimes even brighter than the online photos suggest. If your style tends towards the minimalist, they came come across as gaudy. A big plus in their favour is that they're easy to remove, and leave behind hardly any residue, if at all.

Grr. I can't find it now, but somebody posted a few weeks ago a link to photos of a Gelaskin-covered Kobo, including photos of its back. It was that which helped sway my decision to buy one.

In any case, the Gelaskin-covered back feels similar enough to it without. I can feel some slight difference in that it feels slightly glossier or smoother, but my fingertips can still feel the texture of the Kobo's quilted back when holding the Kobo.

I was planning on making a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy themed skin, perhaps a little cliché but I love the series.
A DON'T PANIC skin would be awesome.
