Awesome! No freaking heart on the back! Thank you :)

[unknown.soul]

I dislike all the designs, I'd buy a plain black one.

[Stanovoy]

G1 is no longer on the site.

EDIT: It's back on.

[Absolute]

hmmm interesting...be sure to show us how it looks when u get it.

[jmd2275]

very nice...how much thicker will it be? I got this done to the back cover of my phone..I had it done at a kiosk in the fashion mall in Vegas called Gmask...they have a large selection or you can have your own design if you like...

[RussianSolja]

This is the type of skins i was talking about. I would without a doubt skin my phone to look like that. :)

[AndroidUser]

thats cool. Unique..

Going to come in handy when you see tons of G1s in the street

[pinaytoy]

ive been waiting for them to put out gels for our phone. good look homie.

[DreamcastDC]

They took the G1 off.. Weird.

[mixpix405]

I like the carbon fiber one...

On a side note... that is one horribly built website.

Once you get the skin in it would be great if you take pictures before and after the installation. One very important thing is picture from the side - which would show how thick this skin is... on the fron picture it looks little bit above the buttons level...

[tien71700]

I wonder if gelaskins.com will be coming out with any skins for the G1. I bought a couple for my ipods and I love them. If they did, I would buy one.

[rereTHEEbeast]

i like it
bt nt my style

[AndroidCaz]

Yeah these look TIGHT!! I think I might order The Matrix one. Ahhhh I can't wait. A bit expensive though. 22.00 Plus 5.00 for S&H Geez. Anyone know of any coupon codes??

[95eg2mr]

[Ripsphone]

I think I will order one when the G1 goes back up.

[95eg2mr]

[Ripsphone]

I was looking around and thinking about buying one for my wifes dash too. If I follow the link from the original post, the one she likes is $7. If I follow the link listed above it's $29. WTF?

[Roman383]

Is there a gel padding that goes around the phone as well to cover the edges ? ? Or is it just a gel pad that sticks on the front and back of the phone ? ?

[MartinMtz702]

no problem!
donations welcomed. LOL!!!!

[MrGibbage]

Anyone receive one of these yet? I'm really interested to see how think they are around the buttons and if it makes it much harder to press them.

[pickylisa]

be sure to check skinit.com decalgirl.com and gelaskins.com

[MobileMan]

Now thats worth buying.

[averad]

Do these skins offer any protection for the screen? If not seems like you would have to custom cut something to fit :(

Put a screen protector on before applying the gel skin.

mine should be here tomorrow!

[IceDroid]

ditto^^^

yo martin you have a screen protector on yours? im wondering if i will need to wait till i receive my screen pro. before i install the skin... hopefully not.

[MartinMtz702]

I had one, but I dont like the way the screen feels with the screen protector, so espite the fact that I paid $18 for it, I peeled it off 2 days later

[MobileMan]

Do you guys think the screen will be OK without a screen protector? I know I can keep the screen clean and scratch free but I dont want anybody asking to see it and pressing to hard and scratching it.

[gbk1]

You dont really need to wear socks when you put on shoes. Its just accepted that you must wear sucks. So....You must have screen protectors!

[MrGibbage]

Which one did you get?

[pickylisa]

got my decalgirl skin today and I think its so sweet tell me what you think....for those who are wondering you really dont have problems with the buttons just make sure you place it just right it takes getting use to. but you will love how it looks....also if you have the screen protector on leave it on and place skin on top.....please excuse my cheap screen protector I new the price was to good to be true.

[95eg2mr]

was it easy to put on? describe steps, is it stretchy

[pickylisa]

Its not that stretchy or sticky nothing like trying to put on the shield. Its pretty simple just like stickers you just peel it, line them up, and press down bam you're done

[95eg2mr]

okay good lol

[MrGibbage]

So do you think that if you took it off after a year or so, would there be a nasty residue left on the phone?
By any chance do you have the ability to take a good detailed picture of the area around the buttons (macro mode on a camera)? I'd like to get a real good feel for how recessed the buttons are once you apply the skin. I know you say that you'll get used to it, but I'd like to know what I'm in for ahead of time.

[drfunk1986]

no thanks on the gel skins.

[pickylisa]

Its not that kind of sticky this is made to stay on forever and not leave it sticky. Kinda like the sticky decals you would put on your car window. Im gonna change mine a few times anyway....this is the best i could do with my other camera phone hope this helps.....as we all know the buttons were not high enough to begin with without the skin so its like the skin comes even with the button.

[pickylisa]

i forgot to show the free wallpaper they send to you when you get the skin i thought it was pretty cool how it matches the design.....

[Raven312]

I ordered one of the gelskins and though it looks nice I'm sending it back. It's just an adornment. I thought it would offer a bit more protection, which it really doesn't. For the $24, I could find a nice case. It looks like a high quality skin, for what it is, so if you're just looking for the bling factor I think they'll do it for you. It took all of a 15 second look for me to determine that this wasn't what I was expecting.

[gbk1]

Yea, its those things you find on a mini-stall in the mall. It is applied literally like a sticker. The thing about the skin I saw at the mall was that the material adheres to glass (sticks to a vertical surface). Pretty cool.

Unless it came customizable( give us a damn template to photoshop on and request for print ) for less than $(16 + shipping), then it's no more overpriced than Invisible Shield.

I like this very much :) - it is stylish 100% :) ... anyway I do not think I would go with gel skin due to possible residue after a year or so... but it definitely looks better than full body invisible shield lol

[jpmontalbo]

I'm wondering if the gelskin is thin enough for me to put my clear shell case on the phone too.

[crazynorwegian]

My wife just got her gel skin in the mail today and she doest like it. It wasn't worth paying 20 bucks for it. It feels like it is high quality, but it doesn't look like they show on their website. When she was applying it it seemed to stretch really easy. The sticker didn't line up really well with the buttons. Now it is hard to move the trackball around or push the buttons. It also seems to cover part of the screen.It is easy to apply. Bottom line is...it doesn't cover as much as she thought it would and the trackball is a pain now.It isn't THAT bad, but still. She hated it so much she pulled the front part of it and it left a little glue on the screen protector (invisible shield). Now its a bit damaged. I think its better to spend your money on something else. Here are some pictures of it.

[crazynorwegian]

Her next try is probably going to be http://www.decalgirl.com I guess you get a free wallpaper to match the background. And from previous post it looks nice.

[pickylisa]

yeah that looks like it was made wrong maybe you should try and get a refund.....i got mine from decalgirl and it fit much better than that

[Daily-G1]

Yeah, my gel skin sux also. Gonna get a decalgirl one. My wife is pissed at me for spending so much money on covers.

[MrGibbage]

That's what I was afraid of. Those skins just look to thick, and the buttons are just to short, not too mention the track ball. I'll stick with my invisible shield. But I do like some of those skins though.
