I have a template for a touchpad skin (like the one on gelaskins)

Can I have someone test it out for me by just printing it on normal paper and cutting it out using scissors to see if it works? My printer has gone boom and apart from this I have no need to buy a new one.

Of course if it works, you guys and girls can use it for yourselves, just hit the thanks button for me !

nearly 400 views ....so has anybody tried it yet?
Yes, I printed it out. Sorry not to reply earlier. The image looks great, but on 8 1/2" x 11" paper it is too small to use as a template. Both front and back print side by side on the same sheet - basically at half size and my printer won't take a larger sheet of paper.:confused:

Can you separate the front and back - basically place one template per page?

Front and back seperated and I have added the links to the JPG files for those two. Should fit one per page

I printed out the back and placed it on the back of my Touchpad. As you can see, the size is still too small but the proportions seem pretty good. The design behind your template is a skin I already have on the back of my device.
Hope this helps!

I kept it small on purpose cuz if it covers the entire back then the corners start to fold up and crease.....we could snip sections off the corners and work that way if people want to I'm open to suggestions. It seems like i need to try and make it bigger perhaps by 10%. I'll update the links soon

What about the front?

What file are you trying to print? The back fits perfectly now and i haven't updated the front

To be honest it is possible but i don't have the equipment the pro companies have to scan the devices and measuring them up, but yes it is possible

Hi,

Ok, I used corel paintshop pro v12. I had to crop the outer grey area for the template to fit correctly. It printed and fits perfectly!

Just wanted to say thanks for the template my Touchpad has a huge crack right down the back of the case. I've tried the x-case tpu, but the extra weight was a pain, so using your template I cut out a skin from some matt black vinyl I had kicking around. Fits brilliantly thanks again.

Glad it would help... My touchpad has already been sold so this was short lived
