Touch Decal Skins on KT

IxiaAurea · 10-27-2011, 04:22 AM

Hi all,
I recently ordered one from bundle monster for $14 shipped (to Australia) and it'll probably take a while to arrive. I'll do a review when I get mine. Do any of you kobo touch owners have a decal skin on your device? Please share.

I haven't spotted a real photo of a decaled kobo touch yet !

I ordered one off decalgirl 3 weeks ago. As soon as it arrives I will take a pic of my KT.

I look fwd to getting it as I REALLY like the picture lol

ETA: I just had a look at Bundle Monster and I wish I knew about that site as there are some nice skins!

only use gelaskins - might be a little more expensive but mine has been in place since purchase (and i was one of the first owners) but have bought gelaskins for other products and am very impressed with their durability. Has been removed twice and reapplied without damage to reader or skin. Oonly took a week from LV in the US. Have great customer service and product

I agree. I've had a gelaskin on mine pretty much since I bought it. The gelaskin still looks brand new. They wear very well. I'm very happy with it.

Anybody wanna post a pic? I'm curious.

Here's my KT with a gelaskin on it. Pictures aren't great but you'll get the idea.

That's pretty cool.. Front and back.. I guess a waste for me since I keep mine in a cover.. The back would rarely see the light of day. :P

Jeff1192 · 10-27-2011, 08:23 PM

Yeah I keep mine in a sleeve because I like having just the unit itself in my hands when I read it so I liked the idea of front and back covers. I didn't like the way that the material of the KT seemed to always be dirty.

MorganM · 10-27-2011, 09:25 PM

I got the skins in the mail today.

@MorganM Thanks for sharing! That's a really beautiful skin! Is it hard to apply the back? I mean, there's no air pockets due to the diamonds?
@Jeff1192 - Cool skin! Does your skin have a texture? (at the front... or is that the kobo frame's texture?)

Not really, It didn't go down properly on the edges but I gave it a bit of a work out around the edges to get the air bubbles out and it's fine now.

Hi All
these are my Gelaskins - I have a few others on various devices - they make for almost (almost) everything the last one shows the texture (I hope) - the covers are non slip, easy to remove so easy to adjust if you make a bobo, very sturdy, don't discolor and you can upload your own image and they will make it - all big pluses and it goes over those KOBO bumps really well

MorganM · 10-28-2011, 03:01 AM

Changed my mind

anonymoose · 10-29-2011, 04:23 AM

I have gelaskins for my laptops but have yet to pick one up for my Kobo. For those who have them - do you find that the grip on the back is fine or is it a bit slippery? I tend to hold my Kobo one-handed so that is a big issue for me, and based on my existing gelaskins I was a little unsure if it would be a little too smooth or not.

MorganM · 10-29-2011, 05:27 AM

I dont find it slippery.
