Question GelaSkins for Desire HD

Hi has anyone tried the GelaSkins available for the DHD? they look pretty sweet:

The iphone skins have some good reviews on youtube.

Might look at getting a custom one sent out in the next few weeks.

They look nice. A good way to make your phone more unique.
Fashion for the phone. Minimal protection I expect.
Post some pics please if you get one in the future.

I had a few of these skins for ny iPhone. its a nice way to customize your phone but that's about it. will only protect against very light scratches. you'll need a proper case if your prone to dropping your phone. if your not or like your phone to be naked then by all means go this route.

I have GelaSkins on my iPhone and also on my Kindle 3. They look really nice if you apply them correctly (I managed to install mine just fine, though the youtube videos made it look exceptionally hard).

However, I prefer them much more on the Kindle as its a bigger device and also, less prone to needing too much protection.

I used the iPhone with just the skin for a few days, then gave up and started using it with the skin AND a case. So not really worth it, IMO, if you want protection.

With the design of the DHD, I feel the skins are useless as I would always be worried about the Sim cover popping off if I used it naked. I use it with a silicon back cover and am happy.

Overall, save your money
