Apollo 18 skin from Hydraskins

Thanks to Hydraskins, I got my hands on a Limited Edition Apollo 18 laptop skin, there are only 150 pieces produced worldwide, and I'm an exclusive & proud owner of 1!

Inside the package, you'll find 2 Hydraskins (1 for the laptop shell, 1 for the panel beyond your keyboard) and an application manual that teaches you how to apply the skin without much hassle.

What makes Hydraskins the chosen laptop skin for your laptop is that they have a special textured adhesive surface that ensures easy air flow and simple application, hence you can worry no more about air bubbles stuck in between.

All you have to do before applying the Hydraskins onto your laptop is to cut out the Hydraskins to the appropriate size as you want it on your laptop. There is a grid lined sheet for you to measure behind the Hydraskins sticker so you can get a straight cut without any trouble at all.

All you have to do while applying the skin onto your laptop is to make sure your laptop is clean and dustless, then you can begin pasting from 1 edge (I started from the top-right edge) then slowly move to applying the skin onto your whole laptop shell while using a cloth to rub down firmly in a zig-zag motion to make sure all air bubbles are pressed out.

If any air bubbles should be stuck within your skin during the application, gently peel back the affected section and apply the skin again.

It took me just under 10 minutes to cut the skin to my desired size and apply the skin, Hydraskins are also water & scratch resistant, reusable and it also removes cleanly without any sticky residue.
