TheHiShop Kumokuno Skins

Rating: 8 out of 10
Pros: Cool designs, a bit thicker than a typical skin for more protection, conversation starter, works with many bumpers.
Cons: Expensive, limited designs, only for iPhone 4, not washable and reusable just reusable if you keep the back clean.
Overall: The Kumokuno Skins from TheHiShop are a different take on the typical skin. With a bit more “padding” for protection I am more comfortable rocking a bumper case with this type skin on the back of my iPhone. The downfalls are the limited design selection, not being washable, having to keep the back clean in order to remove and reapply and the high cost. With all the cons I still love the iPhone internals design and with a few design tweeks this could easily be rated a 10.
