That way you would know before you invest...
I think there were so many different colors, my eye had a hard time locking on anything and that was part of the problem

kindlekitten, when you said the Van Gogh was "horrible" you meant in terms of it being distracting? I'm wondering because if one had a really hard time reading with a skin design, why order another colorful one? I would think a solid would be your best bet then.
yes, it was very distracting

Decal Girl happily exchanged it for a different skin ("By Any Other Name") which I love love love.
maybe that was the problem, the blurring bit... my eye couldn't get a focus and so continued to wander on the picture looking for a defined image
