Anyone using a skin with your Kindle Fire?

Nope.

Haven't seen the point of skins since my K1.

Yep, I use a DecalGirl skin on my Kindle Fire - Moon Tree My Fire1 had it glossy, my replacement has it matte. I think I prefer the glossy version. I don't have a cover.

My 11 year old son has a TARDIS skin on his Kindle Fire, it is glossy. He has a clear hard cover on it.

My 9 yr old and 7 yr old have covers, no skin on their Kindle Fire. They both want a skin.

I'm guessing a skin for a tablet would only be useful for the back, right? I never use mine without its case, so I don't see a need for a skin.

No, you can put a skin around the outside black edge around the screen. A lot of people like the look. I like the black and have a cover, so I don't skin mine. Some people have, however, used the back part of a skin on the inside of the front of their cover.

I had skins on my Kindles but have never seen the need on my Fires.  I have the Amazon cover on the HD and the lining of the front cover seems like a much better thing to have facing the glass (when it is closed) than would be a skin.

And I do think there are some fantastic skins out there.. 

Yes, I'd rather have the lining, too, but I've read that people have put the skin on the inside of covers; just thought I'd mention it.

I have a decalgirl skin now but got a screen protector (matte and can now read in the sunlight) so since I had to take it off, splurged on a gelaskin skin. I will be using it in my marware case. It will arrive tomorrow so I'll post pics then.

I currently have a matte Decalgirl skin (Haiku) on my k-fire and have it in a persimmon Amazon cover.    I only use the skin on the front around the screen.  The design is very simple but since this is where I hold it, this helps with fingerprints.  The matte looks OK but was wondering about trying a glossy one.  I wish we could use the wallpapers with the k-fires.  I ordered a Gelaskin for my mini iPad and that should be here in a few days.    There is less area to hold on to with the mini and it is slick so hoping the skin will give me a better grip on it.  I'm not sure if the Gelaskin will be matte or glossy.

I had a skin for an old kindle of mine (cant remember which one!) but it didn't fit in the case with it on, so I took it off and never used it again, waste of cash!

Nope.  All of my devices are completely naked (Even my cell phone).  I only use covers / cases for transporting and never use any type of screen protector at all for anything.  My phone doesn't even get a case for transporting, just tossed in my purse and it is completely fine, screen and all (Droid 3 if it matters).

Jesslyn, I love the skins you chose. Thanks for the pics.
