Review: Unique Skins

At one of last year’s holiday parties at my former employer, I won an iTouch, so when the opportunity arose to review Unique Skins courtesy of the Family Review Network, I knew just what I was going to create my Skin for.

What exactly are Skins? According to the Unique Skins website,“They're adhesive-backed vinyl pieces pre-cut to fit your electronic device.” As for the type of material they use, they chose “to use Cast vinyl manufactured by the leader in the industry 3M. The 3M™ Controltac™ with Comply assures the customer of a higher gloss and non-visible air release channels for bubble free application. Other features of this high end material include pressure activation, slideability and repositionability for fast and easy applications. Here at Unique Skins we use a cast vinyl and also a cast laminate to protect the quality of the image.”

Unique Skins lets you design your own Skin for your mobile phone, mp3 player, laptops, and game consoles, and if you can’t find your device, you can send them a request! Creating your Skin is simple. After you select what product you want to design your Skin for, you’re taken to a design screen where you can create a Skin with ready-to-use images from their library, or you can upload your own photos. You can add text and multiple photos, and if you have any trouble, they offer tutorials to help you through the process.

Upon receiving my Skin just a few days later, I applied it on my iTouch. I had no problems applying it to the back of the iTouch, but I did have a little difficulty applying the Skin to the front of my iTouch only because of the thin edges—I didn’t want to break or stretch it out, so I went very slowly, and ended up having to reposition it a few times. Despite that, the overall process took only a few minutes. The Skin went on smoothly with no air bubbles, the fit was perfect, and the end result looked great.

When I showed DH the iTouch with the Unique Skin, he was really impressed too!
