I would NOT recommend any of this! I ended up with a sink full of sticky black plastic, sore hands from all of the intensive scrubbing and a worse-off eReader. NEVER AGAIN.

Let's just say the top bezel of the old Touch now has a "dog's dinner" sort of look to it. Glad I didn't go hog-wild and start on the back panel at the same time!

Basically you can use any color or pattern sticky wallpaper(cant think of the right name) which is usually used for sticking over old furniture, as fake kitchen or bathroom tiles etc.Probably can be found at other places for different purpose too.
