What Is A Kindle Skin Cover?
Thursday, June 9th, 2011Kindle Skins are a large piece of the Kindle covers pie simply because there are so many color and design options available. Skins can provide the most personalized cover for any Kindle 2, Kindle 3 or Kindle DX. Vinyl and rubber skins are the two main versions of skins. This article will review each Kindle skin in more detail.
The first type, vinyl Kindle skins provide endless design options including skins with custom logos and designs. Vinyl skins are only a few millimeters thick. The key to their thin design is the 2 piece design. One skin for the front and another for the back. Vinyl skins attach to your version of Kindle and are easy to take off and reapply.
So how do you get the skin on to your Kindle? Here are a few tips. During installation be sure your device, hands, etc. are clean as this will insure the skin is properly attached to the device. I believe the best side to install first is the back skin because it is one complete piece and there arent any buttons, etc. to apply around.
While not as customizable, rubberized skins for the Kindle are also very compact and provide a little more protection than vinyl skins. Applying rubber skins is much easier. Their one piece design makes it easy to line up the corners and stretch the cover to fit your model. There are no magnet clips or velcro straps. The skin does all the work by itself.
Rubber skins are one of the least expensive Kindle covers. Most cost less than ten dollars. Unlike vinyl, rubber skins come in a variety of one color options including black, blue, green, and pink. Multiple rubber skin packs are available for around twenty-five dollars and include three to five colors.
Kindle skins are a great way to add that personal touch and a little extra protection to your Kindle 2, Kindle 3 or Kindle DX. AN added benefit with vinyl skins is because they are so thin, a number of Kindle covers can be used with the skin. So store your Kindle in your cover and when your ready to read simply remove and youll be left with your personalized skin.
