My new iPhone 3G GelaSkin arrived this morning.
First impressions – well, it’s great.
I had the GelaSkin for iPhone 1 (2G), which was good too, but the new one, or specifically for 3G, actually hugs the iPhone, and wraps around the side for even more protection. It works really well.
I’m sure I’m not alone when I recall how the Silicon case alternative sticks to your jeans as you try sliding your iPhone in and out of your pocket. Most annoying when you’re in a hurry to take a call! Here lies another benefit of a GelaSkin. Slips in, slips out. Easy. It also doesn’t make the iPhone look like a brick, which is always a good thing.
GelaSkins also give you a free wallpaper to go with your phone, which is a nice touch. So you can have a funky graphic on the back of your sleek iPhone, with a great matching wallpaper. As you can see below.
And with over 50 artists contributing to their work, you won’t be short of designs.
GelaSkins Daim Back and Front
The skin is made from 3M vinyl, which is really durable and tough. Bubble free and non-sticky on removal too.
The only thing I will say is that, although the GelaSkin covers more of the iPhone compared its predecessor, it doesn’t cover right round and over the silver sides of your iPhone. But that’s only if I absolutely have to find some remnant of fault with it. All in all, I’m gonna say you won’t be disappointed!

How is it holding up after all this time? Would you purchase again? Did you get a gelascreen as well? Thoughts on that? Cheers.

Its holding up great.
You can see some of the scratches that would normally be on your iPhone.
It takes a real beating.
Even the corners are still intact and not peeling off like some of them do after a long period of time.
I would highly recommend it from first hand use.
And no sorry, I did not get the GelaScreen, but have heard great things about it as well.
