I saw the skins posted in here but due to shipping, the total cost didn't seem worth it for me. That is until I found some A4 vinyl sheets. The vinyl looks nice, though application is a bit harder since it's a glue based vinyl. The vinyl came off fairly easily when adjusting and didn't leave any marks, but can't say if it'll be the same after a few months.
I just cut out a window for the screen and covered the bezel and buttons. Most of the glossy edges are also covered. Trimmed the excess around the corners with some nail clippers to smooth it down a bit. For the buttons, I basically just ran a fingernail along the top and bottom of them, eventually cutting the vinyl. Left the sides of the buttons uncut so it'll be easier to remove later on.
Had a few minor bubbles, but for a grand total of $3, I'm not complaining. Plus that was more my application, than the vinyl itself.
I'd say it's a decent alternative to decalgirl/etc for a fairly simple matte black skin. Doesn't have the icons printed on it either so I have a completely matte black reader. It's not like I need icons to remind me which button is which.
