Got an iPod or want to give an iPod to your girlfriend or wife but don't want to give the boring gift? Yeah we all have been in the situation like this. Luckily there is good solution, DecalGirl. DecalGirl is a producer of vide range of stickers and faceplates for pretty much everything out there. Today we are going to take a look at a newly designed skin for iPod nano 3G. This skin is made of a premium grade adhesive vinyl and DecalGirl promises that this skin will not leave any goo if you ever decide to take it off.
About the Product
Following information is taken from the DecalGirl website.
Dress your new 3rd Gen iPod® nano to impress with an authentic DecalGirl skin! This skin features our "Young Love" design printed on premium grade adhesive-backed vinyl which is then covered with a clear gloss protective layer for the durability.

iPod nano (3G) Skin |
On the back and on the front of the package DecalGirl included a brief description of the skin and extended options you could find at DecalGirl website. What i thought was very useful was the notice on the right top of the package "Fits iPod nano third generation models". Incase you have ordered the wrong product you can quickly figure out what you going to do next.

Installation |
The size of the skin mod is just a little bigger than the actual iPod. On the bottom of the skin kit DecalGirl included the copy write protection notice and instructions on how to install this skin.

Application |
|
Front installed |
The application of the front skin was very easy. The only tricky part is the controls of the iPod. I had to carefully align the cats and dogs face so they match up with the rest of the sticker. Of course if you don't want to use the controls sticker, you don't have to but that leaves you with a mod without the faces in the front.

Conclusion
From the review above you can clearly see that DecalGirl is probably the best way to go. I mean they do make a great product and ease of the installation on all of their decals is just mind blowing. Where some skins out there require you to use credit cards to get the air bubble out or what not, DecalGirl products come in a premium grade adhesive-backed vinyl that do not require any crazy techniques to install. And if you did mess up on the installation of the skin, you can always remove it and try again. Premium grade adhesive-backed vinyl is a non gue vinyl that wont tear or degrade under normal use. DecalGirl promises that your stickers will last at least 5 years before starting to fade. What does that mean to you? Money savings and gorgeous looks. A+ on UMLan chart!!! 10/10!!! Way to go DecalGirl. Another well made product!!
