Buying a Gelaskin for your iPad is like buying a pair of fashionable skintight pants, pants you’d be happy wearing out on a downtown Friday night… These covers are beautiful and come in a whole variety of designs to suit all tastes. You are treated from frivolous to funky, from retro to revolutionary, and the most important thing is that they look super cool.
Gelaskins are not newbies to the skin cover market. They have done a spectacular trade in cases for cell phones including the iPhone and iPod. Their new range for iPads have given them a much larger canvas and they have taken full use of this opportunity.
Let’s face it, the iPad looks pretty sexy all by itself, thanks to Apple’s sleek and minimal design. The trouble with additional cases is that they ‘put the pounds on’ the looks of your iPad, making it appear slightly flabby. The iPad is a robust device all by itself, but a bit of extra protection never goes amiss, especially if you’ve forked out for one of the top end models.
The Gelaskin covers are made from 3M adhesive film and come in a separate front and back. The back film covers the reverse of your iPad, obscuring the Apple logo and replacing it with your choice of design. The front panel creates a border with a clear window to accommodate the screen. A great touch is the option to download a matching wallpaper to add a sense of seamlessness to the overall visual effect. It looks fantastic!
These film covers offer decent extra protection from scuffs and scratches, and because they are ‘skintight’ they don’t disturb the lean lines of your iPad. The skin is smooth to the touch but still offers a good grip when handling.
I love the look of these skins. They are yet another way to make your iPad bespoke and individual. Even if you own a case of more substance I would still get one of these protectors, they just look so radical. At a reasonable price of $29.95, you are getting a great looking addition to your prize new device.
