decalgirl skins - Page 4

I think I read earlier in this thread that there is normally a slight gap where the edges of the skin don't meet.

You might want to call decalgirl and ask if they'll send a replacement.

Decalgirl rocks

i ordered two covers, but one cover was a little bit out of wack, i called customer service & they did'nt give me any grief & just sent me out a new cover.

I've just bought a skin from DecalGirl, and I have to say I'm super-impressed! (I got the Dark Burlwood one - I'll post some pics when I work out how to do it).

Put the front part of the skin on carefully then, when you're on the back half and get to about 3/4 of the way across, start stretching the skin veeerrrry gently as you work your way down. You should end up with a little overlap, which will just cover the front edge of the skin, so you shouldn't get a gap.

You just need to be very careful and gentle, and try not to pull the skin back off to redo anything, otherwise it could get stretched out of shape.

When I post my pics, you'll see that there is no visible gap - in fact, the only way that I can see there is any joint at all is to angle the reader so that the light catches the edge.

Would recommend DecalGirl to everyone! (PS - I'm in the UK, and the skin arrived in less than a week, which is pretty good going).

Thank you, Surfergirl. Now that I know it can be done, I might have to try another one...

Okay, I got my new skin in Humidor. I started from the front and wrapped it around. On the back, I pulled it very gently so it stretched. Once I got back to the outside, I pulled up the starting line and put the front edge over the back, so the seam faced back and not front. Here are the pictures (I hope!):

MarciaCat · 04-20-2009, 07:23 PM

Looks like you got a nice fit! Humidor was on of the patterns I was considering for my blue Reader; it's interesting to see in 'real life'. As it stands now I'm still undecided on what design to get .

Just ordered 4 skins for Christmas. One each for mine and my Teen's touch then a green one for my sons DS Lite and a orange fish one for my 505. I'm excited!

I'll post some pictures when I get everything covered.

hsjwmom · 12-18-2009, 04:53 PM

Thanks for sending me over here, itzmeigh! I now have a 505 on the way and then I find this thread...I have 6 skins in my cart and can't choose!

Lirael · 12-18-2009, 10:17 PM

Oooh, I'd been wondering where people get skins from! I've been poking around the site and now I have the urge to put skins on everything skin-able that I own. xD They look so cool!

I think I know what I want for Christmas now, hehe.

itzmeigh · 12-25-2009, 09:21 AM

I got my skins and got them all stuck on. They look great! I'll be back later to post some pictures.

itzmeigh · 12-29-2009, 12:46 AM

I skinned my reader! And pictures to prove it. So far I'm loving the skin.

Ignore that Sony put my tag on crocked on the back and everything fits perfect!

I found the skins super easy to apply and had no trouble getting things all lined up.

So here are the pictures!

Oh and this was a "custom" skin. One I picked from the artists but that wasn't actually listed as a 505 skin. It still turned out super nice!
