Gelaskins - Review - Ransdell Notle1998

Nosotros mentioned the Gelaskins last week, liked what we saw and ordered a pair. Gelaskins are agglutinative, protective skins for your Windows Phones that comes in a broad array of patterns. You also take the ability to guild custom skins using your images.

First, the ordering experience went polish. We ordered a stock skin and a custom skin for the Samsung Focus. Creating the custom skin was simple using Gelaskin's online magician. The order shipped within twenty-four hours of placing it and, aircraft UPS ground, the full turn effectually was vi days. Non too shabby considering the order involved a custom skin.

The order arrived packaged with the skins in cardboard envelope that was inside another cardboard envelope. Sturdy enough to significantly reduce the chances of the skins being bent or folded in transit.

To read about the fit and feel of Gelaskins, slide on past the break.

The Skin

Gelaskin on Samsung Focus

The skins are made of a thick merely flexible plastic that helped make information technology easier to instal. A thinner skin would take been decumbent to curling or wrinkling when affixed to the phone. The thicker plastic also should give the Gelaskin a decent level of immovability.

The larger, back portion of the skin was easy to align and identify. The forepart portion of the peel, on the Focus, was divided into an upper and lower department. The challenge with aligning the lower portion was to align it with the lock screen wallpaper. The challenge with aligning the upper section was lining upwardly the cut-outs with the Focus's front facing sensors and ear speaker.

Overall, the placement of the skins was easier than expected. Gelaskins uses a 3M adhesive that is durable enough to withstand removal for re-alignment. It took three or four attempts to get the upper section lined up correctly and the adhesive remained strong.

The matching wallpaper is emailed by Gelaskin when the order ships. You can install the wallpaper through Zune or frontwards the email from Gelaskin to your Windows Phone email.

Fit and feel

The skins added no noticeable thickness to the Samsung Focus. There is a texture to the skins that also adds a scrap of grip to the telephone.

Likely by design, the skins stop simply shy of the sides of the Focus. Had they extended any further, I believe the skins would be prone to snagging on cases, pockets, and such causing the peel to peal back and weaken.

Gelaskin edge

As far equally protection, the Gelaskin does offering a decent corporeality of protection from scratches but not and so much from dents and dings. The Gelaskin does excel in giving your Windows Phone a unique, customized look. Either through a stock pattern or your custom epitome, Gelaskins can make your Windows Phone better reverberate your fashion and tastes.

Overall Impression

From the selection of designs to the ability to utilise your own images to the delivery turnaround to the quality of the product, Gelaskins is impressive. Later using the pare for the past few days, I'thou not seeing whatever signs of wear or frayed edges with the stickers.

The skins won't protect your phone equally well as a difficult shell case but combined with a pouch or a belt case, you shouldn't have an event.

The key allure to Gelaskins will be the appearance or "pop" they give your Windows Phone. They let your telephone to better reflect your personality. While Gelaskins do offer some protection and they look good on your phone, they don't add any noticeable thickness to the phone.

Gelaskins volition run you $14.95 a set and from time to fourth dimension, Gelaskins does run specials to reduce the cost. You can check out all the styles at the Gelaskin website. If your wanting your Windows Phone to stand up out, Gelaskins is worth looking into.
