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 />

$20<br />
