MATTE Decal Skin Sticker for Amazon Kindle 3 3G (no keys & for 3rd Generation model) (Matte Finish)

I previously had the NOKEY #46 skin, to cover the keys on my second graphite Kindle 3 since the letters faded pretty quickly off of the keyboard of my first one. I didn't want the letters to also fade off of the new one so protecting the keyboard was important to me. I really had no complaints about the old #46 skin which worked perfectly for my intended purpose and was extremely durable, but that skin was rather shiny and I thought I would try the new matte skin, thinking it would mimic the look of the graphite Kindle. I just got my matte skin yesterday. Here are my comments about it:

1) it's not at all the same color as the graphite Kindle the color is pretty ugly kind of a battleship gray;

2) the material is thinner than the shinier skins so it looks and feels significantly cheaper to me;

3) I am going to order another shiny skin to replace it and I can't wait until I get rid of this one and get a different one. I may actually get my old shiny #46 NOKEY skin again, or the #98 for a change.

All in all, I do NOT recommend the matte Kindle #673 graphite skin. Put your money on a shinier skin if you want to jazz up your graphite Kindle 3 or cover the keys to keep them from fading off the keyboard. You will have a more durable product and it will look much better. (Sorry Invisible Defenders I'm just being honest)

I purchased this for my wife. My detail-oriented, skilled-fingered son put it on the Kindle. It has held up great for over a year. I recommend finding someone who is able to use skill and care to apply it on the Kindle. If put on the Kindle with care, it's a great product.
