Yippee!

Thanks for posting about it!

For those that use the skins, do you get the high gloss or the matte/satin?

I have always used the matte/satin. The high gloss are too reflective!

Edit: An added benefit of the matte/satin is the elimination of fingerprints

Thanks

yes, matte only. I definitely need a skin, bezel is easily scratched. And those fingerprints brrrr

sparklemotion · 11-10-2014, 01:35 PM

Thanks skydog and chi!

Matte does seem like it would be the best choice. I have never used a decal in the past, but the bezel is a fingerprint magnet so I'm going to this time. My head is spinning with all the choices. I'm trying to narrow it down.

Definitely choose matte. I've had them on my Sony readers in the past (trying to get plain silver to imitate the nice blue) and on a few phones where the cases were fingerprint magnets. The matte finish totally avoids any fingerprint smudging.

At one time DecalGirl used to charge an additional $5 if you selected matte until enough people complained, since it was usually preferred over the shiny. You don't want the glare from a shiny surface while reading. Thankfully they finally eliminated that charge a few years ago.

Thanks for your input! I'll definitely be going with matte.

This time I plan on skinning only the front bezel of the H20. Too bad DG sells only full sets.

I wish for that every time I buy them. I wouldn't even mind if I could pay the same price and get two fronts. I get bored after a while and switch and that way I could switch back.

I'm probably going to buy a black set and put a black bezel on. And a color set the back of which I'll put on top of kobo sleep cover. I did that for PW already and it worked well although for PW I had a color bezel and color cover. Like that I used and could see both. Absolutely no problem to take it off the cover and it sticks very well.
