I had the DecalGirl Bullseye skin (click on my sig for a picture) on my Kindle 2 for only one week before sending the K2 back to Amazon on day 30 to order the Kindle 3. I ordered Graphite and I'm not sure I'm going to skin it, but the Bullseye skin would look even better on Graphite than it did on White. My wife had the DecalGirl Orange Crush skin on hers and ordered a White Kindle 3 so she could use the same skin.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I think the reason I dislike the silver has to do with the loss of contrast between the border and the eink screen. I found it much easier to read on the red. My eyes are more likely to wander away from the book when I'm reading the silver. Maybe I just have ADD and don't know it. |

FYI for anyone looking at skins - DecalGirl has a 25% off coupon for this weekend - SUMMER25 - and the GOMATTE coupon is still active for $5 off when purchasing a skin with a matte finish (as opposed to the default High Gloss.) Unfortunately you can't apply both coupons to an order, but still, 25%/$5 is a pretty good deal. |

Well now with a coupon I am def. going to order. I think I'll go ahead with Tweet Dark for the Opus and Whimsical for the K1. Then I'm trying to decide on a skin for my iPhone.

Well, I did finally order and take advantage of the Summer25 coupon, but I completely changed my mind on what I ordered.
For my K1 I went with Coffee Break http://www.decalgirl.com/item.view/20474 For my Opus I went with Stand Alone http://www.decalgirl.com/item.view/41986 And for my iPhone which was the hardest decision to make, I went with Free Spirit http://www.decalgirl.com/item.view/39866 |

I ordered this skin:
The colour matches my casemate on my blackberry. I wanted one just to try and prevent minor scratches or scuffs. |

My NOOK is dressed in a Moon Fairy DecalGirl skin. Very protective and easy to put on. I have one on my phone as well that's in and out of my pocket or case frequently and no wear and tear on that either.
Sorry - no pic, but here's a link http://www.decalgirl.com/moonfairy |

I actually tried to skin my Mentor but I couldn't find a place to grab the skin with a pair of pliers (like you would do with a catfish) and it's too tough to use a skinning knife on.

I got pink tranquility for my Sony 505: http://www.decalgirl.com/item.view/19006 I've have it on my Sony for over a year now and I've had no issues with the skin starting to peel off by itself, tearing, etc. I will most likely end up getting a skin for my Kindle 3 Graphite, but not right away. |

I bought mine to read books on, not to look at. That's just me.

I skinned my sony 505 but none of the ready made skins really appealed to me so I uploaded one of my own landscape photos to www.mytego.com and they made a skin out of my picture. I was even able to add my name and address to it in case I lost my reader.
