GelaSkins are a very thin (< 1mm) protective cover for your portable devices made with premium grade 3M vinyl and adhesive technology. Patented micro-channels within the adhesive allow for a bubble-free application. Each GelaSkin has an ultra-clear, scratch resistant coating for maximum durability and photo quality finish.
Which GelaSkin is right for me?
GelaSkins makes skins for a variety of devices and each one is slightly different. The best place to start is on the Help page for the category you're looking for:
Every iPod and BlackBerry GelaSkin - with the exception of the iPod Touch GelaSkins - comes with a GelaScreen display protector. GelaScreens are made to defend your screen from scratches while not interfering with the
display whatsoever. Many GelaScreen users have noticed that some previous scratches on their display are no longer visible after applying the GelaScreen.
GelaScreens are available as an addon option when buying iPod Touch or iPhone skins.
Will GelaSkins leave any mess if I want to remove them?
Nope, none whatsoever.
GelaSkins' residue-free adhesion means no harm will come to your electronic devices. The patented 3M removable adhesive technology makes the GelaSkin as easy to remove as it is to apply.
Will my iPod or iPhone still fit in its Dock or with my iTrip?
Absolutely! GelaSkins add almost zero bulk and will not interfere with the iTrip, your dock or almost any other accessory.
Are GelaSkins reusable?
GelaSkins are designed for a single application, but if treated carefully, they may be removed, stored and applied again.
Our customers have told us that they were able to remove and reapply the same skin several times with no problems.
However, due to the special nature of the adhesive, it is necessary to put it back on its liner once removed and make sure it is pressed flat (people have found that storing them beneath a book works well). The material will
remember curved surfaces, so it may be more difficult to flatten skins for the Mini, 4th Gen iPod 2nd & 4th Gen Nanos as they are a full wrap around style.
Payment and Shipping
How can I pay for my GelaSkins?
We currently accept MasterCard, Visa, American Express and PayPal. When entering your billing information, please use the exact address that appears on your credit card statement.
How long will it take for my GelaSkin(s) to get to me?
We do our best to process all orders within one (1) business day of receiving them. If you place your order on a Friday or on the weekend, your order will not be processed until the following business day. All shipping time
estimates are calculated from the date of shipping, not the date of ordering. Orders shipped with the Standard UPS should arrive within 4-6 business days of shipping and the Expedited UPS option takes 1-2 Business days*.
With Standard Post please allow up to 15 business days for your skins to arrive. Most orders do arrive before then, but please be patient as the USPS/Canada Post takes time to arrive.
*The UPS option is trackable and is a more secure method for getting your package delivered quickly, but delivery times are not guaranteed.
Do you ship to APO/FPO addresses? What about my PO Box?
UPS does not deliver to APO/FPO or PO Box addresses. Only "Standard Post" orders can be delivered to these addresses, this is limited to iPod, BlackBerry, Razr, and iPhone skins only. Sorry, no laptops or gaming skins.
Can you mark this as a gift for Customs for me?
No, sorry.

Coverage
Does the illuminated Apple logo shine through my GelaSkin when it's on my laptop?
Very slightly, but only when in a dark room, or if you're computing by candlelight.
Do your laptop skins have the Apple logo cutout?
No, sorry. Each work of art we place on a GelaSkin we feel should be presented in it's entirety.
Does the laptop skin cover the bottom of the laptop as well?
Nope, just the top. We wanted to make sure the heat dissipation and battery removal were uninhibited, so we decided to make just the top of your laptop sexier, and not the bottom.
Do your laptops skins also cover the inside?
Our laptop skins are designed to protect only the top of your laptop but we have had some customers that have creatively modified their own skins to fit the inside, so go nuts!
