The best skin ever

The Best Skins Ever skin installation is probably the most challenging I’ve ever done. It requires the use of soapy water (I used handsoap) to “place” the skin on the surface. Then I had to carefully press out the excess liquid. The process seemed to go on forever because I had to be careful not to displace the skin. The most stubborn parts were the “tabs” found in the corners — the tabs won’t initially stick! The entire process actually reminded me of those people who install car tints — respect to you guys!

After several hours, I can say that the effort was worth it. (There are still some bubbles under the screen-side skin but it’s supposed to disappear).

The price is not bad too: $7.99.

I’m glad you stuck with it. The end result is indeed worth it. I’ve had one on my iPhone for a few months now, and I couldn’t imagine not having it on there.

The tabs will stick after a day or so, mine wouldn’t stick at first too. Actually, the skin will seem to vacuum itself onto your phone as time goes on.

Great to hear! The iPhone’s at home still in the “curing” stage. I’m already excited to use it.
