Customer Reviews

Not terrible
So it does literally what it states. But it is a little disappointing. It's a rubbery thin cover for the back of the kindle 2. It does not really get to the sides much and when putting it on you need to seriously stretch the material to get it laying flat around the headphone/power switch bump. Also if you are getting the Amazon leather cover for the Kindle 2 the stickiness of the gell cover makes it a little tough to get the Kindle attached the first time.

It would definitely gain a star if it was $10 less.

Pleased
I bought this Gelaskin a couple of days ago. I have another Gelaskin on my Macbook Pro so I knew exactly what to expect. It is kind of like a sticker, though it is made out of special material made by 3M so that it is much stronger and you are able to remove it if you ever decide to get rid of it. I like the design, and I simply wanted a little something on the back to avoid scratches and not having to worry about setting it down on a dirty surface, etc. It was relatively easy to apply, and I am pleased. It delivers exactly what I thought it would.

easy to apply
After reading some of the reviews, I almost didn't get this. HOWEVER, I did and found that it was really simple to apply! I had absolutely no issues doing it at all. I didn't have to stretch it to get it to fit and I didn't get any bubbles. It even conforms to the contours at the power button without any gaps. The "sticky-ness" (It's not sticky, just has good grippability) is perfect for hanging onto your kindle while reading. I do wish they had better images to choose from tho. The books are a little old fashioned, the contortionist a little boring and reminds me of a basketball court for some reason. I would love it if you could customize with a picture! Or if they had more to choose from. But, it works great, was easy to apply, and I think is worth the price. Skins for phones are similar prices.
