When my iPhone total body skin arrived from Best Skins Ever, I was a little afraid that I would spoil my iPhone because we have to wet the skin to apply it. The back of the skin is already like sticker and yet we have to wet it.
Best Skins Ever has very good instructions on how to apply their skins on our digital devices which you can read HERE. In fact, before applying your skin, you MUST read this page first.
I also watched NYChen’s video on applying Best Skins Ever skin on his Sansa e250. Even though it does not really help you in applying your skin because you have to do it yourself, watching the video gives you confidence because it does not look that difficult.
When I was applying my skin on my Apple iPhone, I did it on the screen first, as advised by BSE. The thing that I found difficult is the stickiness that caused my fingerprints to be imprinted at the corners but this is not difficult to take off. Just wet your fingers and rub at the spots that caught your fingerprint.
Another problem I faced was that I tried to squish off excess water trapped between my skin and iPhone like how NYChen did but the skin kept shifting that I just let it be.
After applying the skin on the front, I decided NOT to apply the back skin. This is because with the skin, the iPhone feels different. I know that it is protected and the important part is the screen, although Apple says that it is scratch-proof. I think that if both sides of the iPhone is skinned, the metal and glass feel would feel like plastic already. At least that is my opinion.
I now have two extra iPhone total body skin and a back skin. See, I bought two extra skins just to be sure that I have back up in case I spoilt the skin in my application. Hahaha
Anyway, I think that I prefer skins that use static to stick although they come off easily, especially on the iPhone because it does not have a catch on the sides.
