Did you know the best skins are made with architectural 3M wraps? If your skin has a gold 3M logo on it, you're golden, if not, well, your mileage might vary. We didn't know that before doing this video!

Out of the 8 different brands, Val and I were most impressed with the products from Phantom Skinz and Toast Skins. The wood skins from Toast is just awesome and Phantom Skinz had the best quality selection and installation tools.

Here's our final ranking with Amazon Buy Links:

1(tie). Phantom Skinz (https://mreh.ca/312eXHJ)
1(tie). FishSkyn (https://mreh.ca/3tHjLPb)
*Between the two, only Phantom Skinz has Carbon Fibre finishes

3. Toast Skins (https://mreh.ca/3c6NN8V)
4. Dbrand (https://mreh.ca/2OSo5MJ)
5. Xtreme Skin
6. Decal Girl
7. SkinIt
8. SlickWraps (ranked last because it's been 6 weeks and our skins still haven't shown up)

We ranked the skins across 6 different criteria involve installation, coverage, impact and scratch resistance, # of designs and overall quality.

When it comes to skins, we felt that giving companies that put the effort to make sure their skins go on properly deserved to be recognized. Unlike other iPhone accessories, skins are quite particular when it comes to install.

As mentioned before, the quality of the product (gold 3M logo!) also effected the install process.

For coverage, the best were the products that were covered the edges and were one piece. Some of the lower ranked brands only came with back skins which minimizes any sort of protection the product might offer your device.

Impact and scratch testing was done using a force meter and Moh's picks. Oddly enough, the thicker skins didn't necessarily result in better impact protection.
