Hi!
So I've had my K2 for a couple of days, and in reading and carrying it around naked (the K2, of course, not me :-P ), I've realized that part of what I want for it is to be grippier (in particular, the brushed aluminum back of the thing), but no more bulky.
After searching the forums a bit, I've found references to skins available from DecalGirl, iStyles, skinit, and to silicone "cases" by Kroo.
The decals look great! ...except for the parts where they don't cover the Kindle...so I'm not totally sold on those... For those who have them, I have two questions:
- Do they seem like they'd protect the Kindle (either K1 or k2) from scratches?
- Do they add any grippiness to the Kindle (K2, in particular)?
Having seen/used silicone cases for other gadgets in the past, I can say that I usually find them to be *too* grippy and to add to much bulk for my taste; I'm not really figuring on protecting it from drops...as I find that, with my gadgets, I prefer the risk of dropping it over dealing with the added bulk which is there 100% of the time.
I also found, both independently and, after that, searching specifically here, a product called Zagg InvisibleShield, which may be just what I'm looking for. They have a version for the Kindle 1 here:

...but they don't have a Kindle 2 one yet. It seems to add awesome scratch resistance, and pretty much no bulk, so I'm happy with that idea on two of the three counts. Assuming the fit and coverage is good, I'd only be left with hoping it adds enough grip...
Can anyone who has experience with the InvisibleShield product provide any info about it? Maybe in particular, on the fit/coverage (especially since the K2 has its curves), and the grippiness compared to the K2's naked back?
If you want to encourage them to make one for the Kindle 2, you can go to this page and submit a request:

Thanks!
