IPAD 2 BUYERS’ GUIDE<br />
ACCESSORY GUIDE<br />
GelaSkins GelaSkins<br />
While we’ve never been<br />
enthusiastic about putting<br />
stickers on our iPads, the latest<br />
GelaSkins are amongst the very<br />
best options out there. First, the company continues to increase its collection of licensed artwork<br />
to include everything from classic comic book covers to the works of famous modern artists and<br />
even better indies. Second, the iPad and iPad 2 GelaSkins each come with front and rear stickers,<br />
plus matching, downloadable Lock Screen and Home Screen wallpaper. While screen protection<br />
remains an issue with GelaSkins’ stickers, and they don’t attempt to cover every millimeter<br />
of a device’s back, they do more than rivals, and the quality of the art is very strong.<br />
$30<br />
DomeSkin DomeSkins for iPad + iPad 2<br />
Unlike rivals, DomeSkins aren’t just flat: they’re actually<br />
puffy thanks to a thick layer of soft rubber that gives each<br />
version a high gloss and front grips. Using the same residuefree<br />
3M adhesive as the others, this collection of designs is<br />
more limited, but the offerings include colors, patterns, and<br />
various types of popular art. Each includes front and<br />
rear stickers, leaving the iPad’s edges and screen<br />
exposed, though elevated off flat surfaces.<br />
$30<br />
MusicSkins Skins<br />
Cheaper than the others,<br />
MusicSkins stickers for iPad 2 leave<br />
out the screen film that the iPad 1<br />
versions included. But they do have<br />
some exclusive big-name licenses -<br />
everything from Michael Jackson<br />
and Beatles album covers to Jersey<br />
Shore, Taylor Swift, and Justin Bieber photos. The size of the MusicSkins collection has become so<br />
huge that you’re bound to find art, an artist, a TV show, or something else to appeal to<br />
your tastes. You also have the option of designing your own. The stickers are scratchresistant,<br />
but don’t always try to fully cover the device’s sides.<br />
