How long do gelaskins last

I put them to the test and came away impressed. The library of images offered by GelaSkins is almost overwhelming, including licensed products from the likes of Marvel, Dark Horse Comics and National Geographic , not to mention hundreds of pieces from artists including H. If nothing in the library catches your fancy, you can even upload your own image to create a completely custom Skin.

Wallpapers to match the Skins are also available for download. Applying the GelaSkins ranges from dead easy for a device like an iPod Touch that's essentially a single rectangle to apply to slightly nerve-racking for Skins meant for more complex devices that sport complex curves, holes punched out for buttons and sometimes multiple pieces to be matched up. The covering for a Rock Band guitar falls under the latter category; while it turned out very well, you wouldn't want to attempt this one with a bad case of coffee jitters.

However, every skin I tried was cut perfectly so there were no MacGyver moves needed to force a fit , and the 3M adhesive is pretty forgiving- you can peel the sticker up and adjust the position if needed before finalizing the fit.

How do Gelaskins perform in the real world? I slapped one on my iPod Touch and proceeded to torture it to the best of my ability the skin, not my iPod. I can't attest to protection from UV damage.

According to the company, the skins offer UV protection for devices, but I'm going to have to take their word for this. The soft skin makes gripping the device easier and provides cushioning without making it feel bulky.

In fact, holding the iPad feels more sure and comfortable with it. I would be pretty much holding my breath on the odd occasion she used her iPad without its case, but with the Domeskin on, I feel much less apprehensive and it still fits in the case.

I wasn't about to drop the iPad off a counter to find out for certain what would happen, mind you, but having it is at least some insurance. Applying a Domeskin isn't a replacement for a case, but for anyone who wants to add a customized look to their iPad while incorporating a better gripping surface and gaining protection from scratches and minor bumps, this would be a good option.

Going the skin route also means that buttons and ports are completely unobstructed so docking and operation is not an issue. On purchase of a Domeskin, a matching wallpaper will be e-mailed. I've reviewed a number of M-Edge products before, but until now, the company has primarily been focused on cases and accessories for e-readers and tablets; the Alter Ego Skin is its first foray into iPhone territory. I've seen a lot of iPhone cases and the Alter Ego is a pretty basic one.

It's a flexible silicon skin that's easy to pop on and off and it's inexpensive. It will provide basic impact and scratch protection without adding much in the way of bulk or weight, and the silicon combined with a stamped hexagon pattern means your hands can get a good grip on the iPhone — unfortunately, that grippy texture means it can attract dust and dog hair too, but that's probably a bigger hazard in my house than most.

The novelty factor with the Alter Ego I was sent is its glow in the dark capability. And it really does glow, especially if you leave it in the light for a few minutes.
