Me too!

This skin, is it meant to protect the device or just for art? Does it harm the device if you have to remove it? DOes it tear or pull away? I love the idea of being able to "personalize" my reader, but do not want to possibly ruin it by making it all sticky

It's just for art and personalization. It doesn't hurt the Kindle and is not permanently affixed to it. It removes very easily.

I dont think you have to worry about ruining it, the skins are made with interchangeability in mind.

I never thought I wanted a skin for my electronics until I saw some of the beautiful ones available at Decalgirl and elsewhere. Thanks for sharing yours!

This is very, very cool. I don't like a lot of the premade skin designs that I've seen, but the idea of making my own is exciting!

It looks great, almost reconciles me to the idea of having one of these things. I think I may stick with DG though, they've done my other skins and I'm used to them

You can just send them any picture and they'll make a skin? That's pretty neat. I haven't found many others that I like but if I could make my own, that would be awesome.

I played around for about ten minutes at Tego and this is what I came up with:

Don't know if I'll go for it or not. Any comments?

Yep! Or you can choose from their art, like I did. You can zoom in and out of your picture, move it to the side, etc to find what shows off your picture better.

Oh, and I don't find it distracting, actually. I thought it might, and find it almost like a frame.... it welcomes me into my book!
