Touch Decal Skins on KT - Page 2

Yeah definitely not slippery at all. I read one-handed with mine all the time and it NEVER slips.

I've been kinda thinking about this as well, but I too keep my KT in its cover pretty much all the time. I almost never see the back!

I see that 2652catz' skin matches the screen...? Is this an image you download and display on the screen while powered off/asleep, or is this part of the decal? If it's a decal, does it work with a touch screen like the KT and what does it look like while reading?

HI
I usually don't put the sceen part on but it is a wonderful anti glare system and you have no problem reading through it as for the touch screen it is activated by movement and heat of the finger.
If you have your book covers showing it looks a bit messy thats all
I always have a high quality anti-glare clear screen that way if I change the back, and I sometimes do I don't have to remove the screen part - it just saves time for me

Whats the best Kobo Touch Colour to use with Decal Skin? A Black base or a White base? This will decide where I get the Kobo Touch this thur, JB for Black or Collins for White.

Hmmm nice touch. Should be one of the options Kobo uses as a colour to emphasize the Canadian Branding.. I like it!

It shouldn't matter - Gelaskins are thick enough that the colour doesn't seep through. You'll just see the Kobo colour on the bits that aren't covered.

I received my Bundle monster decal today (ordered through amazon). It's got a leather look texture and is quite thick. My only concern is the back decal is hard to stick down on the kobo's diamond back (it keeps popping up the sides and I have to smooth it back down).

That's a nice one. Why don't you take the back off if it keeps curling up? I have been thinking of taking the back skin off my KT and just having the front as I only wanted a skin to cover the front because it's black and smudge prints show up.

Lol, trying to get my money's worth :P Not curl but more like lifts up because it won't stick on the space between the diamond edges.

One of the reasons I never thought about skins was that I loved the texture of my Kobo Original and thought it was a waste to buy a skin and only use the front. Now that I have a Touch, I find it too difficult (slippery) to hold one-handed. I will definitely be looking for a skin now.

I just put my Gelaskin on my Kobo Touch a few days ago.
I like it, but I do think it's a little bit slippery.

I was a little annoyed because I ordered mine two weeks before Gelaskins announced that they started producing skins with "matte" finishes.
