| Summary: Beautiful compliment
90
I've seen at least four Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) in my office. On Saturday, there were three over at my house (during the cookout). Since the PSP is becoming more common, I've decided to make mine stand out in the crowd. Courtesy of Evolution Vinyl Works, my PSP is now skinned in Digital Blue Dragon.
It's a thick vinyl skin with laminate on one side and adhesive on the other. The PSP skin comes with two peel-away layers to allow for easy alignment of the skin on the PSP. First you peel away the adhesive layer, and align the PSP through the clear top layer. Once aligned, the skin adheres to the PSP and you peel away the top clear layer. This leaves the PSP skin atop the PSP with a clear, high-gloss laminate to take the abuse of gaming with a very stylish skin underneath to personalize your PSP.
You'll need about 5-10 minutes, a clean (dust-free, smudge-free) PSP, patience, and a little skill to apply the PSP skin. Just as when applying screen guards and other adhesives, apply the skin from top-to-bottom or left-to-right while smoothing out bubbles using a credit card edge.
Once aligned and applied, the skin makes for a beautiful compliment to your PSP! I give the Evolution Vinyl Works PSP Skin a 9 out of 10. (PROs: It looks great, it applied easy, and it protects the PSP surface while it stylizes it. CONs: It takes time and patience to apply, may be frustrating to some who haven't tinted, skinned, or screen-protected before).

A commercial? It reads like a well-written review. On point, good background, covers most of the important points, pros/cons, job well done. It would've been nice to know whether this decal can be removed / reapplied and if there is any resulting gunk on the PSP.

Haha, you're all a paranoid lot. Promethh has been on PSP411 for nearly a month. Anyway, this is pointless, just because someone has a positive review doesn't mean they're the manufacturer, that's very short-sighted and a good way to ensure that others get scared off from writing reviews. Have some self-control next time you start making false accusations.

It wasn't meant as a commercial, nor am I an employee of Evolution Vinyl Works. I'm a geek with a tech blog (http://foremank.mystarband.net/vkblog.html ), a PSP fanatic, and I was trying to find a way to make my PSP stand out at the office (since, as I said, we have 4 here now at the office).
I haven't tried removing it yet since I suspect it won't reapply once removed, but the adhesive appears to be very good (cohesive, sort of like a thin layer of rubber cement). I think it should remove fairly easily as a single sheet.

I bought one of Evolutionvinylworks's skins for my iPod Shuffle - after having it on for about two months I decided to remove it. It left A TON of residue, I ended up having to use rubbing alcohol to get it all off. I won't be buying from this company again.
Supposedly the versions decalgirl.com sells are much better in this regard, as they claim you can remove it later on, stick it back on the sheet it came on for safekeeping and reapply it. Plus it looks like eventually they'll do custom skins for you (they offer it for various devices already.)

People were claiming my review of the DecalGirl skins was a commercial as well. It's just as I said; write a good review for a good product, and people think you must be getting something out of it.
