Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm kind of torn on exactly how to rate this beautiful skin from Decal Girl (it doesn't say it's Decal Girl, but that is the name on the skin kit you receive.) It is lovely and once you've downloaded the coordinating screen saver and installed it, it is beautifully striking, so for that I give it 5 stars. The downside is, it is very glossy and can be hard on the eyes when reading, especially when using a book light. (-1 star)Also, it doesn't seem to cover the Nook as completely as the matte finish Decal Girl skin I got for my Kindle (see: DecalGirl Protective Kindle Skin (Fits 6" Display, Latest Generation Kindle) Quest (Matte Finish)) which covers my Kindle from edge to edge almost perfectly. (-1 star) Of course, that could just be due to the different shapes of each device, as the nook is much curvier on the back than the Kindle. The Matte Finish skin I received is also substantially thicker than the vinyl high gloss version for the Nook and was easier to apply due to being a bit less floppy and less tacky. (-1 star) Now, that doesn't mean it will provide protection against drops, as the other reviewer seemed to desire, either skin will really only provide protection from scratches, fingerprints (well, the matte version anyway) and dirt/stains. If you have a cover, especially those with leather interiors, friction dye-transfer staining can be a problem. I have experienced this myself on my Nook and have read reviews in other models that confirmed the same issue with other covers. The skin is a great way to prevent this and keep the device looking pristine. While I don't recommend this model mainly because of the glare, I did find a matte version available elsewhere on the internet (do a search on Bicycle Chain Skin Nook Matte Finish) and can vouch that it is totally worth the $5 upgrade.
