Hyperkin Touch Skin is Actually Pretty Cool

I bought this Touch skin randomly, and it's actually pretty cool.

The feel is really nice, and it should at least offer some protection. The downside is the it looks a little odd and you have to take it off to replace the batteries. Anyone else try a skin on Touch?

Though you are more than slightly incoherent, I agree with you Madam,
a plum is a terrible thing to do to a nostril.

Yeah, they do look kind of silly, but the feel is nice (please, no more jokes).

I actually just got these other ones today.

They don't quite feel as nice as the Hyperkin ones, but they look 100x better and still feel alright.

What I'd like to have is an extension for the pickle to fit my hand. These are sized for a child.
My little finger is down by the lanyard and it's just difficult to get a grip on.
Those stippled for my pleasure ones look like they might help.

 I suspect you have Elephantitus of the hands. They fit my hands fine and I'm an 'adult' (and 6 foot tall).

The Asterion skins are really nice actually. Especially when playing Arktika.1. Makes Touch have a more gun like feel with the texture of the hand-piece.

But the Asterion ones dont really look like they protect at all, in contrast to the first one you posted.
I mean, the ring area extending around the grip is always what would take the hit if you were to crash into something or hit a wall.

Correct. The Asterion is for look/feel only. The Hyperkin actually provides protection..

As on Onward player, having big hands and  _not_  hitting my controlling into walls, what would you propose from the two? I can get slightly sweaty hands while in tense situations, the black one with dimples seems like an improvement?

Thanks for advice!
