I ordered this skin kit/decal (Fascinating Surprise) for my new Kindle Paperwhite merely because I didn't want fingerprints all over my Kindle shell (OK so maybe I'm a little OCD!!!). Unfortunately, the one that I had picked out previously was now back ordered. I looked thru all of the available ones and decided to get this one with purple and turquoise on black. I was apprehensive about putting it on since there was much written about how hard people were finding the "unbearable task" of putting it on straight, the glue not sticking properly and the very funny one that thought it would be more protective (like it should be heavy duty plastic or some such nonsense). Let me tell you that if you would read the description, nowhere does it indicate that this is anything more than a decorative piece. I mean what part of skin kit/decal is not understandable??? I for one had no trouble carefully placing the skin in the appropriate place the first time and when I decided it looked a little off center (again with the OCD), pulled part of it off to recenter it and never lost any of its adhesive quality. My kindle has gotten many comments about how attractive the decal is, so much so that I didn't put my new cover on for quite a while. I would buy another one of these decals in a NY minute, they are so attractive and easy to apply.
I found that after I had owned my paperwhite for some time that an accumulation of smudgy finger prints were visible around the bottom and right side of the device. I found that these distracted me while I was reading and I wanted to find a reasonable solution. I liked the idea of this decal because it's something that I can remove if I ever decide to. Many people have said in their reviews that it feels like paper, I don't agree. It feels like a matte sticker. The picture quality leaves a little to be desired, the photo of it online is much crisper than in person, but it does not detract from the overall look. I also own the leather cover that sleeps/wakes the device and the sticker does not hinder this action. Overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase, it does what I intended it to: hides the smudges.
This skin was easy to apply and also easy to correct after I messed it up. If you use a charge card you can rub any bubbles out. Also, you can peel it off and start again. Much easier than the clear screen protectors that can take a few attempts and purchases before you are bubble free.
And, it is pleasant to look at. I got tired of the basic black. And it fits inside my kindle stand case so I can do hands free reading even with the skin on. (It is an origami style case).
I have the magnetic cover for my Kindle Paperwhite, so I do not see the back of this decal, but the front is beautiful and the color works very well with the purple cover. This decal adds a unique touch to my Kindle, and I find it soothing as well. The sticker is very easy to apply, and my experience with the Decalgirl skins is that they will stay on as long as you want them too. The edges do not start to peel up, even with heavy use. Yes, it's a totally impractical addition to my Kindle, but I find a value in having functional items look beautiful.
I got my Kindle Paperwhite in November for my birthday. I love my Kindle, but I quickly noticed that my fingers were leaving prints on the device, so I decided to look into some skins. I absolutely love this skin! There is a small border along the entire Kindle that is not covered, but trust me you won't notice it! There are two pieces to this skin, one for the front and one for the back. The application of the skin was super easy too. It leaves absolutely no bubbles. It peels up really easy for repositioning and doesn't leave any sticky residue on the Kindle. I would highly recommend this skin to any Kindle Paperwhite user!

I bought this to go with my daughter's Kindle as a birthday present. The Decals are well sized and cut cleanly, Application was no problem. A year later there is no sign of delamination from handling.
Fascinating Surprise Skin by Kate Knight was everything I hoped it would be. The design is very nice. It appeared exactly as pictured on the site. The back skin was very easy to put on since it was one big peace. The front skin was a little harder to place correctly but be patient and it will look great. It took me a couple tries to get the front skin placed correctly but it was easy to peel up and reposition until I got it correctly.
Love these! I have my kindle waterproofed and bought this so when I take it to the pool I won't risk scratching it if I put it on the edge of the pool. Yes, it's waterproof, in the sense that it won't come off when being continuously dunked in the water! Used it all summer long at the pool and beach with no issues!
Love this product. It really makes my Kindle look so cool. One thing I had noticed that I had problems with, on the black surface of the Kindle, was finger smudges. With this "skin", that is no longer an issue. Plus, it looks so pretty and distinctive. It stands out and is not so "ordinary". It was really easy to apply, no problem. I love it. Highly recommend.
Beautiful kindle skin! It works wonderfully on my kindle paperwhite. I had no problems getting it on evenly without bubbles. It looks gorgeous and I have received compliments on how beautiful my Kindle looks. It is fun to have a nice design on my Kindle, makes it more like reading a book than looking at a tablet.
