Protecting your portable devices

After Christmas we had a few items that needed cases such as Sally's IPhone and Chance's Android. I stumbled on a YouTube video about ZAGGs skins. Right before I was to place an order I found a site called Best Skins Ever. Seems BestSkins has access to the same military grade material as Zagg and offer it as a cheaper alternative. The skins offer protection from scratches as well as provide a better grip.

After putting the skins on the phones I have some advice. It is imperative that you make sure the skin is equal around all edges. Use a bowl of water/soap to dip your fingers into as you are working the skins on. Chance's phone started to peel just slightly. I think during the squeegee process it moved toward one corner which is the corner that is now peeling. I asked the company about options to fix it and I received a replacement piece along with a hint to use baby shampoo as the wetting agent. I used Dawn which had some additives that might have been a poor choice. Tonight I installed skins on my 13" MacBook. Use rubbing alcohol first to get all oils off. make sure to watch for dust and hair that like to stick to the adhesive. Take your time and they look great.
