Anyone apply decals to their iPad?

I've seen some very cool decals that stick on the back of the iPad (as well as iPods, macbooks, etc..) and was thinking of getting one. I wanted to see if anyone has tried them before and how they look, how easy they are to apply, or if there are other problems you need to worry about (such as bubbles)?
If you're not aware, these are what I'm talking about:

Does the curved surface on the back of the iPad create problems with these? It seems a flat surface (like a laptop) might be easier. Wanted to get some opinions before ordering though!

Most Apple products come with a couple of the white Apple decals. Most do not put them on the product, but on other thing, like car windows, bedroom walls, binders and book covers. They are not particularly high quality materials.

Where did you find that decal. I like that!

If you engrave the iPad you will lose your warranty. The decal should be easy to remove incase you need to exchange the iPad for a new one.

Try Gela Skins....

http://www.gelaskins.com/store/skins/ipadandereaders/iPad

Full back cover ( no issue with the curvature at all) and a cover for the front ( which only covers the non used part of the glass (perfect for where you hold onto the iPad) and also comes with a iPad ready matching wallpaper. Reusable, as well.

No, not a salesman. Bought a couple the day I bought the Pad.

Also check out http://www.decalgirl.com

I've use their skins on other devices and love them. You can even design your own if you wish for $5.00 extra.

Plus you get a free matching screensaver.

That looks like a smaller decal that would not be much of a problem. I think one that covered the entire back would be an issue due to curvature of the back.

Dang thats a pretty cool decal, where did you find it? I'm currently using a BoxWave case that covers up the back but... I might have to switch it up just for this decal haha.

I think some of these decals are Bansky's work, cool!

Since there is an antenna under the plastic APPLE logo on the back of the iPad, I would be hesitant to put a decal that has metal or foil in it across that antenna port.
