Review : Clear-Coat Scratch Protection Skin for the iPhone

Clear Coat Skin_5

We love our gadgets.  We take them everywhere because they have become an integral part of our everyday routines.  As a result, they get worn, they get scratched, they get dropped, and they end up looking like—well, you get the idea.  Wouldn’t it be nice if you could have a little piece of mind, while protecting your device from scratches and wear without the bulk and weight of a traditional case?  With Clear-Coat Skin protection, you now have a great solution for your cell phones, laptops and more.

What you get?

Whether it be for your cell phone or your laptop, every Clear-Coat Skin kit comes with your specifically designed full body skins, a bottle of application solution, basic installation instructions, and a squeegee.

 

Installation

The concept here is simple.  Start with a clean workspace and hands. Spray the application solution on your hand and the sticky side of your skin.  Carefully apply your Clear-Coat Skin to your iPhone by lining up the home button. Then use your squeegee to gently force out the excess liquid until you have a nice seal.  Pretty self explanatory, but if you are having any problems they have demo videos that you can watch to help build your confidence.

For me, applying the back was more of a challenge, though.  Same concept, but depending on your device, you might find it harder to line every port, button, and edge just right.  No matter how frustrating you may find it, (and you may not) don’t make the mistake of rushing through the installation.  That’s the beauty of a wet application—you have time.  Stay the course, take note of any tips on the website (like spending extra time holding down those pesky edges) and you will be very happy with the end result—I know I was!

Final Thoughts

I was truly amazed at how professional the end product looked.  As you can see, it even looked great on my son’s first gen iPhone.  You can’t even tell I have a Clear-Coat Skin on my device—and that is definitely part of the appeal.  With every Skin product you get an incredibly generous 45 day money back guarantee and a no hassle lifetime replacement guarantee—truly one of the best deals on the market, for such a quality product.

Most iPhone skins will set you back a reasonable $14.99 with free delivery in the US, but they are currently running a deal on iPhone 4S Clear-Coat Skins for only $11.99, for screen protection only!

Update: Full body skins for all models are $19.99

    The discount is for the screen protection only. If you want the full kit then it is full price.

      @Ezra, it’s a wet apply. You have plenty of time to “get it right”. In fact, I removed mine, added more of the included spray solution, and re-adjusted. The dry apply screen savers are a little less forgiving, though.
