Advantages: great looks and an extremely appealing price
Disadvantages: if only you could put them on after taking them off !
At first thoughts you may think this is just some cruddy little sticker you will stick on your PSP and within a day or so it will begin to peel and fade and will have to be pulled off - and then it may even leave marks and little bits of sticker all over your lovely PSP. This is exactly what I thought when I first saw these skins and was not overly keen on buying one.
However one of my friends found them on Ebay for around £5 and managed to persuade me to get one for my PSP to make it look 'cool'. I have to say that was one of the best buys I've made for my PSP.
What are they?:
These wrapstar skins are basically very high class vinyl stickers which are bought stuck on some of that special paper flat. You then peel it from there and carefully apply to your PSP and apply pressure to remove any bubble. The sticker comes in several different sections for the back, and front and other small bits which need separate stickers.
They are great for revitalising the boring old PSP which seems to come in only black, white or pink (for the more daring of you). That reminds me a bit of Henry Ford who once said "you can have any colour you like as long as its black". That's a bit like the PSP - a lack of choice, but no longer with Wrapster skins being like an upgrade or paint job for your PSP - this is the future!
Applying them is very easy and as long as you put them carefully in the right place they will fit exactly.
They do not seem to be two large and cover the PSP perfectly - and still leave enough space for the buttons to be easily pressed or moved (such as the analog stick).
The skin can also be very useful if your PSP has become damaged or scratched and it can be used to hide the marks and may it look new and fresh again! Much cheaper than buying a new PSP!
Style and life:
The one I had lasted about a year and hardly peeled at all, I just decided I would have a change and return back to the normal black PSP. The skin never faded and always looked really good.
I had a purple lightning one with loads of lightning strikes all over it.
There are loads of different colours and styles to choose from. From simple plain colours to bright ones or even those with pictures from games on the PSP - you name it they probably have it!
I would say one of these would last about a year or so - not bad for a sticker eh!
These skins are also great for showing off to your friends and you could even pretend you have some special limited edition model - I bet they'd believe you!
Removal:
If for some reason you wish to remove the sticker it is really easy and can be peeled off in one simple move and will not leave any glue residue or marks and will actually make your PSP looking newer than before!
The only problem is you can't put it back on after removing as it will curl and go a bit funny - so keep for as long as possible and don't have a sudden inkling while playing a game to start picking at that corner!
Price:
These will cost under a fiver at most places and can be very cheap for only a couple of pound from Ebay.co.uk
Conclusion:
These are really cool little skins that will revitalise that dull looking PSP of yours and make you fell happier with it as well as acting as protection to scratches (or covering up those already made). I can't really find any floors with this product as it doesn't peel and is very durable - and at an extremely good price you could easily afford to buy a few of them!
Summary: great stickers for your psp!
