I chose the Almond Branches gelaskin. It arrived three days later. It's basically a sticker (one for each side of the kindle) which you apply carefully and is very thin. It can be reapplied again and again if you don't align it correctly but will stretch if you aren't careful. The page buttons and the large 5-way button also have stickers to cover the grey areas that show through.
Pros: The cover will protect the casing from scratches and makes the kindle look a little more personal.
Cons: The price is outrageous. Justify it.

The Kindle is a great gadget but it's a bit drab and grey isn't it? These Gelaskins totally transform the look especially but also have a really smooth and silky feel. You do have to take your time and have a steady hand and keen eye to apply them though. We are talking about being accurate to a fraction of a millimetre, that's how precise they are. It took me two attempts to get the back piece spot on as the first time it was making contact with the page turning buttons, but once they are on they become just like part of the Kindle. I'm going to keep this one (the Almond Branches) on permanently but it is possible to remove them and apply a different design if you so wish.
They are well worth the price and look great. Very happy with the end result.

Really pleased with this lovely skin. Ordered on Saturday and it arrived on Monday. It fits perfectly and is very thin, I'll still be able to put the Kindle in a case when I take it out and about. It took me ages to track them down through Amazon because I was looking in the Kindle store, but glad I got there in the end. Love it!

I'm a Kindle virgin and had no idea exactly what these "skins" were, so I asked someone to get this one for me as a gift. I'm certainly not disappointed -- they're as pretty as they look. In case anyone's wondering at all, they are two large vinyl stickers (tough stickers). One goes on the front of your Kindle and one goes on the back, with holes for where the buttons go. They're called gelaskins, so you may be forgiven for thinking they have a gel-like feel -- you'd be wrong, they don't. The stickers are thin, hard and smooth.
The edges of your Kindle will not be protected with these skins (but I already suspected that and got myself a neoprene cover as well), but they will protect the front and back from any minor scuffs and fingerprints.
On a final note, there is nothing to cover the screen, so if you're worried about that, you'll have to get a separate case or a screen cover.
I gave it four stars, because I feel it's a little overpriced for what it is. Having said that, once I've worn this one out (which I'm hoping won't be for at least two years -- I've no idea how long these skins are supposed to last), I think I would get another.

My Kindle had starting to get hairline cracks around the corners of the screen, so it's good for that. It looks really nice and doesn't interfere with the buttons. Of course if you use it with a leather cover you can;t see the back of it. Easy to apply, it has left one quite sharp plasticcy edge. I thought it might be gel-like, but it is hard and shiny.

I love this product!!!
This item shipped from the USA, so was not as quick as I would have liked, but am more than happy with the service. The skin is fabulous, applies easily and looks fantastic. A+++

Brilliant product!
It looks very stylish and def. brightens the rather boring looking Kindle. It fits like a glove, feels very durable, it isn't a thin flimsy sort of material, this is a strudy, thick-ish material (although it doesn't feel "thick" on the Kindle, it sort of melts onto it!)
Was a little bit fiddly to put on, the back part, which you might think would be the easiest, is the hardest bit of all because of the precise cutting of this skin, you can't be off by more than half a mm or the next page buttons will be slightly hindered. Saying that, after a little bit of careful directioning, the skin fits on like a glove. The print is even more beautiful in real life than on the photo shown.
Def. a must have, all star buy for the Kindle!

This is a good product for making my Kindle look pretty and giving it the personal touch. As it doesn't cover the screen it doesn't fully protect it and I have another case (just a cheap £5 one) to keep it properly safe.
Pretty fiddly to put on, you need a very steady hand and a bit of patience! You can peel it off and replace it although I'm not sure how many times as it begins to lose it's stickiness.
all in all i'm very pleased with this product and have only marked it down because it doesn't cover the screen.

I really like the picture and it makes your kindle a bit more pretty. Not hard to get on, and easily removed. Just jazzes up the boring grey look, and i like it very much
