The DomeSkin however as the name implies can be a domed version of a precision cut vinyl skin. It provides a 3 dimensional feel, and it has a definite firm gel-like layer which not only protects the device and skin itself from scratches, but helps make the device much easier to grip, and trust us, they think great in the hand.The Monsters DomeSkin for apple iphone 5 is a brightly coloured, precision cut bit of artwork to create any iPhone make heads turn in the street.
Design
The DomeSkin comes packaged inside a simple plastic mailer, and within the packaging there is a rear panel, in addition to two pieces for the front of the iPhone. One which is for placement over the earpiece, and something over the home button.
Installation of the DomeSkin is definitely an absolute breeze. Due to the bubble free, and simple to remove 3M technology it really is easy to put it on, and take it off again a few times if the alignment is a little bit off. But, because of the 3D nature of the skin its easy to grip the edges so even aligning the skin is much easier than any we have seen before.
We love Monsters artwork as it is bright and colourful. The print quality is superb producing sharp lines and wonderfully saturated colours. What improves the quality of the artwork may be the gel layer which is put on top of the artwork. This glossy transparent layer helps make the artwork underneath pop.
Each DomeSkin also includes its own unique wallpaper, and this can be downloaded from the website address shown on your DomeSkin packaging when it arrives. It’s an easy, but nice addition making the front skin feel much more consistent when put on our iPhone.
Although the DomeSkin has a 3D design, it’s very lightweight so adds only minimal weight towards the iPhone – much less weight than any plastic made case. The DomeSkin doesn’t add much thickness towards the iPhone either, even with its 3D gel coating. Clearly the DomeSkin isn’t as thin as a standard vinyl wrap, however the 3D element of this one does indeed provide great tactility, and has us wondering whether we’d even consider a standard vinyl wrap on the devices again.
Features
The DomeSkin iPhone 5 covers the rear of the iPhone 5 with precise cutout for that camera, sensor and the flash. So long as you line the cutout perfectly using the camera and flash, the back skin won’t obscure the vista of the lens and will allow the flash fully illuminate. The very best of the front piece has a cutout for that earpiece and front camera, and it is a tight fit. It took us several tries to line up the cut using the ports perfectly so that the skin won’t cover the leading camera. The bottom piece on the front has got the perfect cutout for the Home button. Because the skin doesn’t cover the sides of the iPhone 5 whatsoever, all your side buttons and ports are available for access.
