Introduction

A few months back, we take our first look at PolyGFX's Caseskin, a product that helps you turn your boring beige box into a work of art. It gives your case a whole new look, like a custom airbrush job, just without all the hassles of the actual work. I had a custom artwork done up and actually enjoyed installing it onto my case. It was a great product and I never thought that they could do anything else to improve it but PolyGFX thought otherwise. They got to work printing on a new vinyl material that's even easier to apply than it's predecessor. PolyGFX call this the EZ Apply Material and it has micro air-channels on the adhesive side so that air could pass thru the channels and prevent it from being trapped under the vinyl, thus preventing any ugly air bubbles. And since air could easily pass thru, you'll no longer need the applicator or squeegee and the new skin also does not have the protective layer over it as well. Well, I wouldn't know until I try it myself so let's move on and take a closer look at the new skin material.

Features

Here's a quick rundown of the features, direct from PolyGFX.

• NEW EZ-Apply Material has thousands of microscopic air channels to allow air to pass without causing air bubbles. This new material is easier to apply than ever, you can just apply it with you bare hands; no applicator required!
• Simple to apply and comes off when you want
• Easy to cut fan holes, handles, blow holes, windows and whatever is on your case
• Detailed full color instructions and videos so that you can get the most out of your Caseskin
• Skins are guaranteed to last at least 3 years

The Package

The packaging this time was a bit different. Instead of being place IN a cardboard tube, the skin was rolled AROUND one and held in place with masking tape and then sealed with in polybag. The polybag was then placed in a long cardboard box, along with an excellent, full-colour instruction manual and the applicator. Hhmm... wait a minute, didn't you just said you don't need one? Well, you won't need it for most part of the skin but for difficult areas like around case handles and rivets, it's much easier to use the applicator. I'll get to that later. Just in case you didn't read the first review, you can also find the instruction manual in PDF format or check out the instructional videos. Even if you already knew how to go about installing the skin, the videos are fun to watch! :O)

OK then, let's move on and go ahead and apply the skin!
