- So you have a Microsoft Surface Pro
and you're getting a little
bit bored with its design,
today we're gonna talk
about skins from Decal Girl,
whether or not it's worth your money.
Stay tuned.
(funky disco music)
okay, before we get started,
so in case you don't know,
Decal Girl is one of those
companies that makes skins
for your laptops, PCs, tablets,
and all sorts of devices,
and no, this is not a sponsored video.
I know some of you are
gonna say that in comments,
and they are not paying
for this video at all.
But I wanna talk about it today
because they have some
really cool designs.
I've used them before.
There is also a dbrand out
there, which is very popular.
I like Decal Girl because
they actually license artwork
from a lot of artists out
there, and they have hundreds,
almost probably too much choice.
You're gonna spend a lot
of time on this site,
going through, picking the right one,
and it's a really tough decision.
You can also upload your own images,
so long as they're not copyrighted,
and you technically own it.
But they'll create a skin for you,
which is a really cool idea.
Now, when it comes to the Surface Pro,
there's gonna be a few
things you need to know.
First of all, it comes in a couple pieces.
There's gonna be the back piece,
which goes on obviously
the back and the kickstand.
There's also a front piece which
I'm not actually a huge fan of,
but it's kind of cool
they throw it in there.
It is $25 for everything, no
matter which one your order,
and they also give you matching wallpaper.
They give you a little code and you can go
to the website and pull down the artwork.
You're gonna see, see here,
this is the whole skin kit.
You can see, this one's called Kreo,
in case you wanna look it up.
It's by the artist FP.
Again, I think it's cool they
give the artist's name here.
See, it says Microsoft Surface Pro 4.
It does work with the Surface Pro 2017.
They're basically the same device.
You could also order for your other,
older Surface Pros if
you have that as well.
And down here it says a free matching code
for the wallpaper to match the front.
You can see the little design there.
This is for the frame of
the device, for the front,
if you wanna put that
on, you don't have to.
Here is the back piece,
which is obviously the most important,
along with the kickstand,
and you can even do the
sides as well, and the top.
Now, I mean, I'm not a huge fan
of putting the stickers on
top, it does complete the look,
but you may not wanna put those on there.
I like just putting
them on the back myself,
but we'll see how it goes.
And finally of course they
give you the instructions here.
It's a sticker, folks,
not really rocket science
about how you put it on.
I do recommend, though,
wiping the back of your device
down with rubbing alcohol, though.
It'll make the adhesive
stick a lot better.
Okay, let's bring it all in.
So is this worth the $25?
It's definitely a little bit expensive,
but overall, it's not a bad product.
After all, you are
licensing real artwork here,
or you could upload your own.
I think it's a really cool service.
Now when it comes to
the stickers themselves,
they're pretty good quality.
I would just stick to the back,
though, of the Surface Pro.
The side ones are a nice option
and I don't mind those, actually,
but I could see them possibly peeling off.
I've never had that happen,
it may be a concern.
When it comes to that front sticker,
though, I'm really not a fan.
But I'd rather have them
include it than not,
so at least you have the
option, but I'm taking mine off.
The matching wallpaper is
also a nice little notch
there for Decal Girl.
Now when it comes to overheating,
I know always people bring this up.
No, it does not overheat.
This is a sticker, after all.
It's not thermal insulation,
so you're not gonna change it.
We actually did a separate
video on this topic last year,
and I would not worry
about putting this on
and gaming on the Surface Pro.
You won't have any issue.
It does not block that radial vent.
Overall, though, I'm pretty
happy with the service.
I liked their website. It
was easy to use, so yeah.
If you're looking for a sticker system
for your Surface Pro,
go check out Decal Girl.
Now if you have a product
you want me to review
for the Surface Pro or
any other Surface device,
let me know in a comment
below, maybe I'll check it out.

Thanks for watching, take care, everybody.
And it was not a difference at all.
So I'll just bring it in I guess now.
Did it sound okay? I
mean, I can do that again.
I still feel like that was (bleep).
- [Mark] Yeah, we can do it over again.
I mean, (Daniel sighs) it
doesn't really need to be long.
- Yeah, I know, I know, but
you know how I am, I'm chan....
