How I Installed a Skin on my Pearl

I ordered my skin online at DecalGirl.com, and it came within just a few days.

It came in high-quality packaging that prevented it from being damaged.

I looked over all the contents: no complicated directions, just peel off the skin and apply.

• No soaking the decal the water.
• No need to squeegee out air bubbles.

The only thing necessary is to identify which piece of the decal (skin) goes on which part of the phone. Again, really simple.

And if you were to get it on wrong, just peel it back off and try again.

So, let’s see how it’s done:

1. I used a clean, dry paper towel to clean my Pearl body to make sure it was free of skin oil or other contaminants.

2. I washed and dried my hands to make sure they were clean.

3. I peeled off the first piece…

4. …and applied it. Piece of cake!

The skin is just the right thickness to make it easy to handle, and easy to apply.

5. And continued, piece-by-piece until done. It didn’t take even 5 minutes.

PostScript, 2009-03-16: Thanks to reader Scott for showing me that on the Pearl decal below, there was a cut-out for the camera flash that I failed to remove. Once removed, the flash was uncovered just as it should have been. These decals are truly precision-made, judging from the onces I’ve seen.

6. Lastly, I went to the provided web address to download my matching wallpaper. You provide the same email address you entered when you purchased the skin online. The wallpaper is emailed to that address.

Quality

The skins are top quality. They apply easily with no bubbles. They are removable with no residue. And are compatible with most cases and accessories (I can slide my Pearl in and out of its holster and the skin does not interfere or get peeled off).
