Comments on: Eighteen bucks for an iPhone decal?

Gelaskins offers pretty stickers for your iPhone (and other devices), but don't be confused--they're more for decoration than real protection.

HAHA and this is the person telling us what to buy on Cnet

Duh

I think you were looking for one of those clunky all-around protectors. If you want something that is better suited for gliding in and out of a pocket rather than a purse, then Gelaskin works great. It won't save the phone in a free fall, but I try to avoid those situations to begin with. It adds virtually zero bulk to the sleek iPhone. I'm on my second Gelaskin now and could not be happier with the product. All I wanted in a protector was something on the back of the phone so that when I set the phone down I don't have to worry about how dirty or abrasive the surface is. The uniqueness of the designs also enticed me, it gives the phone a little personality.

Should sell well amongst 'Pre' owners.

Ive aways used Skinit.com . I'm pretty sure they do the same thing for cheaper, plus you can create your own skin, and the quality is top notch.

Let's just change the name of cnet to iPhone central. Not a day has gone by in the past few weeks that I haven't pulled up cnet to see dozens of articles about the iPhone. There are other tech products and tech news out there. Ah well, maybe it's time I look elsewhere for tech info.

Well of course how else do you keep those Apple dollars flowing.

I think the only product worth adding to any electronic device is from ZAGG, http://www.zagg.com/ ! They make the best product and I've got it on all of my cell phones (yes more than one) my GPS (yes a Garmin) and all the other "toys" I have for which they make a product.

Not a skin, but highly recommended is the Otterbox Defender series. Only slightly bulkier and slightly more expensive than a skin (< $30.) Made in the US of A. Sometimes easier/cheaper to get on eBay. Combines the best qualities of silicone and hard shell: good grip, easy to insert/remove device, some shock protection, no grit next to device, easy to clean and a film over the screen. I have gotten some condensation under the screen film a couple of times but the ease of taking the case off makes this no big deal. They also have both a cheaper model and the original waterproof (seriously) model.

I got mine for free ninty-nine. Thank you for the birthday gift, miraesto!

I second the Otterbox recomendation, in combination with the Power Support Anti-Glare Film to take care of any "bubble" issues under the screen, prety much everyone ive shown my case to thinks that its the best case ever.
