Anyone else applied skins to their Airpods?

I happened to stumble across an eBay notification today, that a new skin was available from a vendor that I’d bookmarked months ago, so I jumped on them, knowing an eBay discount was still in play...

Has anyone else tried these?

There are a bunch on Amazon as well, at the same price point as those. I tried them once, back on my gen 1 Airpods. You have to be super careful putting them on, as they will easily wrinkle if they aren't aligned properly. Once that happens, and you have to peel them off, they get more wrinkled and smoothing them out is a chore. Once on, they are fine. I ended up peeling them off a few months later as the edges started peeling back, and they would get stuck, putting them into the case. Just my two-cents...

Might be worth looking through the reviews on Amazon for similar ones...

Got the skins today. Needed to carefully apply them, but they ended up looking pretty good!
