So I purchased the Incipio Feather for the ipad 2. I've only had it a few days and got a nice dark smudge that I can't remove. I then thought about using some old vinyl stickers to paste on the back. Due to the materials of the incipio feather case you cant stick anything to the back.
So I thought why not try clear plastidipping the back and applying the vinyl to it. Unfortunately that didn't work, as I applied the vinyl stickers it pulled the plastidip off the back.
I also ran into the issue of peeling with my cars grill I plastidipped a while back. I had waxed it before I applied the plastidip, and it prevented the plastidip from adhering to the grill.
So I was back to square one. I got another sticker in from Japan, luckily it held a lot better than the vinyl, but I still wanted to protect the back and cover up the smudge. So i tried it plastidipping it again. I used the matte black which you can pick up at your local hardware store.
It's kind of messed up on the bottom and top left hand corners. I was running low paint in the can, so I had to tilt it. Unfortunately it came out a lot more thicker and I had overspray in those areas. I'm out of paint at the moment, so I will have to wait until I get more to redo the areas.
Finally I took a can of the clear plastidip to coat the entire case. I did this to seal the entire thing off. I didn't want the plastidip to peel or tear off later. We will see if it holds, I just did this an hour ago, so the durability on a incipio feather case is unknown. Message me if you have any questions.
Tips: Buy good masking tape like 3m quality. I purchased a cheaper brand at Walmart and it peeled off as I was painting which messed up my lines. If you want a straight line make sure you peel off the masking tape after about a minute so it doesnt adhere to the masking tape. If you wait you will rip off the rest of the plastidip.
