GelaSkins Amazon Kindle Touch Skin
Tired of scratching up your Amazon Kindle Touch? GelaSkins has fun, stylish and customizable options for protecting the tablet while making it stand out in the crowd. You can choose from 1000s of self-adhesive tablet skins designed by well known artists or just upload your own photo for a personalized skin. The two-part sticker skin covers the back and front edges of your tablet (they are easy to remove too, with no sticky residue). Plus, GelaSkins throws in design-matching wallpaper for seamless artwork over the entire device.
Pros
- Precise cut outs for the external features
- Customizable design
- Extra grip on back of Amazon Kindle Touch
Cons
- No protection for screen
- Front cover difficult to apply
- Does not protect against impacts
Overview
Beauty is only skin deep, as the saying goes. With GelaSkins for your Amazon Kindle Touch, looks and style is what this is all about. GelaSkins offers hundreds of self-adhesive skin designs created by over 150 artists that completely decorate your Amazon Kindle Touch. Themes range from art pop to impressionism, from urban to nature – my favorites are van Gogh classics. If you’re unsure about which design to choose, you can always download a wallpaper JPEG for free and give the design a test drive. If there isn’t anything that looks appealing, upload a photo and GelaSkins will create a personalized skin.

The skin itself comes in two parts on a piece of paper like a peel-off sticker: a bezel cover and a back cover. Some people may shudder at the thought of applying something sticky to their Amazon Kindle Touch, but GelaSkins uses a special adhesive backing (called Controltac by 3M) making the stickers easy to install and remove, leaving no residue behind. Applying the Amazon Kindle Touch skin is a relatively easy task and there was no “bubbling” when I put it on the rear cover. The front part of the skin, that covers the area around the screen, is more difficult to install—an extra set of hands around solves the problem. When the skin is on, match it with the downloaded wallpaper to make a cool, seamless design across the entire Amazon Kindle Touch.
Features
- Plastic skins with 1000s of stunning innovative styles
- Over 150 artists
- Fully compatible with Smart Covers
- 3M technology for easy application and clean removal
- Super-thin (less than 1mm) tough scratch protection

| 4.5 | Design: Amazing
One thing I really like about GelaSkins’ designs is that they are made by artists, whose bio you can read at the bottom of each page—a nice human touch in the tablet world. If you don’t like these designs, upload one of your own photos and GelaSkins will make a personalized skin for you. |
| 4.0 | Functionality: Great The precise cut outs are both good and bad: they make the skin application process more difficult but then leave barely any of the tablet exposed. |
| 3.0 | Protection: Okay The thicker plastic gives the Gelaskin a good level of durability and some extra grip. Scratches, dings and scrapes won’t show up on the skin (or your tablet) but the skin won’t protect against dropping the tablet. Also, there isn’t any protection to the Amazon Kindle Touch screen. Gelaskins makes a GelaScreen if you want that extra safeguarding step. |
| 4.5 | Quality: Great The skins are made of a thick & flexible plastic by 3M (maker of all those great office Post-its). This quality material ensures that no sticky residue is left over on your Amazon Kindle Touch if you decide to move on from the skin. |
| 3.5 | Value: Good For $19.95, the GelaSkin for Amazon Kindle Touch is a great buy – not only to you get something unique and customizable, you also get some extra protection and grip. |
| 3.9 | Overall: GOOD GelaSkins are a cool way to give your Amazon Kindle Touch its own style and voice. Plus it is compatible with other cases so you don’t have to settle for only a skin. Customize your own design and start showing it off! |

"One skin to rule them all"
I wanted to breathe a new life into my Kindle Touch since forever. Finally, I’ve come across this great skin. Rather cautious about the $20 price, I still bought it, and never once regretted it.
GelaSkins really did a great job with these skins, it’s an easy way to change your device on the spot and like the review says it's easy to install. I didn’t need any help applying the skin and it is true: no bubbling effect.
On top of the truly amazing design, I chose the dragon thingy, it feels like the back of the device became easier and more comfortable to hold. Don’t hesitate guys: if you’re looking for a skin – this is the one to choose.
