Gelaskins now available for iPhone 4!

JDFLANG - you are correct, your gelaskin on your iphone4 IS shrinking.
Worse still Gelaskins know it shrinks, and do not tell anyone about it on their website!
No mention in the FAQ, product pages, checkout screens or invoice.

Mine also shrunk about a month after purchase so I searched the internet and the Gelaskin website looking for some mention of the shrinking problem. Predictably, its not mentioned.

Assuming it was just a bad batch, I contacted Gelaskins to get a replacement "good batch" sent out and they said that all Gelaskins shrink, its expected and is made worse on the iPhone 4's back due to its oleophobic coating that reduces the stickyness of the glue.
They suggested that I could stretch the skin out to cover the back of the phone again - which left me thinking, why didn't you just use a coating that did not shrink in the first place!!!!!

So Ive stretched it a little (read as much as it will) and its slightly better but still too short and still too narrow. Certainly not the product I purchased.

I'm just glad that I hadn't had a chance to recommend this product to all my friends yet as Id be looking pretty stupid when their covers shrunk too making the backs of their phones look like crap.

Thanks Gelaskins

Ditto here - certainly my last purchase from that company....
