You Wanted The Best! You‘ve Got The Best! The Hottest SKIN In The World! The KISS MusicSkin!!!!!!
Can you guess I grew up in the seventies? At that time KISS was one of the biggest bands in the world and at the pinnacle of their popularity. For the sake of nostalgia I picked the KISS MusicSkin for iPhone 3G for today’s review.
Skinning devices has gained popularity over the past couple of years as it allows personalization of electronic devices. We all want to be different in some fashion and the use of skins is an affordable and simple way to do so.
MusicSkins LLC is one of several companies that produce high quality removable skins for electronic devices. What separates them from the competition is their licenses with numerous bands, personalities, and companies. In addition, MusicSkins allows the creation of custom skins; just upload your photo, art or other image and they will make a personalized skin for most popular devices. Music Skins features hundreds of designs for a multitude of popular hardware.
Info:
MusicSkins are the premier music and music related device skins on the planet. Our skins are made from premium grade 3M vinyl and adhesive technology so they apply easily and remove without leaving any residue. We also use a high gloss over laminate, which adds durability and a photo quality finish to our skins.
Our durable skins are made of premium vinyl, which will defend your device from the harshest scratches. The special adhesive is completely removable and leaves no residue so you can easily switch your MusicSkins for the latest release. MusicSkins add almost zero bulk so your device will still integrate perfectly with almost any case, bag, dock, iTrip or armband.
MusicSkins LLC is the leader in music and music-related, high-quality, vinyl skin products. We envision all MP3 players, laptops, and phones as portable canvases for art and individuality.

What’s in the Box?:
The MusicSkin arrives packaged in a clear plastic sleeve. The skin is seen through the front of the packaging and is backed by a cardboard listing a product description with a few images of various types of skins.
Basically the MusicSkin is a large sticker composed of a vinyl film from 3M dubbed Controltac. This material allows the skin to be easily applied and removed. It features a scored surface, which enables bubble to be pressed out easily.
As I mentioned previously; for today’s review I received a MusicSkin featuring the iconic image from the classic KISS album – LOVE GUN. Now all I need is a digital copy of KISS meets the Phantom of the Park for my iPhone and it will be 1977 all over again, at least if there were iPhones in the seventies.
Installation, Performance and Comparison:
Application of the MusicSkin is quick and easy. Simply peel the skin off the backing material, line up the camera opening over the iPhone 3G then lay the skin flat down onto the phone.
Even if you have a shaky hand, the Controltac is very forgiving. If any bubbles appear just gently rub the MusicSkin to smooth them out. Don’t like the positioning, just peel back and reapply. Once you are comfortable with the positioning of the skin, press down to adhere the skin onto the iPhone.
During my application of the skin I did get bubbling right over the four corners on the curves of the iPhone. Thankfully massaging the area flattens these suckers right out.
Here we have the iPhone skinned with KISS. Pretty unique. I doubt I will see anyone with this skin on their iPhone any time soon; unless I go to a KISS concert. By the way, they are touring this fall.
If you want to change your skin or just remove it totally simply peel the skin off the iPhone. The 3M Controltac leaves no sticky residue or remnant material on the iPhone and the backing is just as sticky as the day you first applied it. I suggest to keep the original backing so you can store the skin if you wish to reuse it a later date.
Overall the skin adds minimal bulk. I was able to use my MusicSkin covered iPhone in several hard shell cases without an issue. In terms of protecting the iPhone, it will keep minor scuffs and scratches at bay but that is about it.
Conclusion:
Skins are a simple non-destructive way to “mod” the appearance of the iPhone. The Controltac material used for the MusicSkins is simple to apply, removable and re-usable. MusicSkins features hundreds of different designs and with the ability to create custom skins, the road to individuality is unlimited.
If you want your iPhone to stand out from the crowd then I strongly recommend the MusicSkins for iPhone.
Pros:
+Simple to apply
+Numerous design choices
+No adhesive residue left after removal
+Re-useable
+Easily removed
Cons:
- none
I would like to thank MusicSkins for the chance to review the MusicSkins for iPhone 3G and for their support of iGadget Life.
