You know, it's funny, I was just thinking the exact same thing the other day: I would not envision not skinning my Kindle, but it's the only device I do skin!
I don't have a skin on my iPhone, and neither do I on my iPad. I originally thought I might skin my iPad, but have decided against it in the end. I wish I could have some of the Decalgirl skins as background/screensaver though, but DG doesn't offer that possibility - Gelaskin has a great app for that, by the way!
What it comes down to though, I think, is that I feel that there simply is not enough space on the front of the iPad to make it worth it, in a way. I realized that when I saw the new touchscreen of the Nook, and my first thought was: too bad there isn't anymore space left to skin it
The other reason I will not skin my iPad - besides the lack of space for said skin, is that the iPad doesn't really have a frame around the screen, like the Kindle. Of course it does, but because it's level with the screen, it kind of disappears visually, which I find esthetically very nice. If I added a skin, it would highlight the separation between the screen and the frame.
So after having given this a lot of thought, I guess I will continue happily skinning my Kindle, and leave my other devices "nacked"
