iStyles5/I have purchased many skins from istyles and have always been satisfied. I like to change my skins often, so the fact that I can buy them affordably is a plus. I have never had an issue with quality either. Easy to install, good quality and a great price...what more can you ask for. give them a try.j. simon, United States, 27 December 2013
iStyles5/It came really quickly and looks great. After reading reviews I was a little nervous putting it on, but it wasn't a big deal at all. I would definitely order here again. Thanks so much!H. Sproul, United States, 12 December 2013
iStyles5/While iStyles have a good customer support service and great delivery speed, I'm obliged to give only 2-stars for the following reasons:M. B C, Canada, 7 December 2013
1. The two Skins I had ordered for my Sony Reader and 3DS XL, while very pretty, were not as good as shown on the website. Their colors are much darker, with a lower image quality/resolution.
2. They are also very, very difficult to apply and they can be scrapped very easily. I scrapped mine, so I asked for a replacement and I got them again.
3. Those Skins leave a strong, old plastic-like odor on the device they are put on as soon as you remove them. I had to leave my Sony device at ’free air’ for one full day to remove the odor. Not very pleasant.
4. If you are carrying your device in a hard case for protection, like the book-style case for the Sony Reader, the skins will peel and get scrapped will the constant removal/put back the device in.
In the end, I did not keep my replacement Skins. The one for my Sony Reader was peel off my device in less than a day (explained in #4), and the other, for my 3DS XL, were too difficult to put on without scrapping it again. That’s why I’m leaving only 2-stars for iStyles and furthermore I do not recommend it. Beside, you cannot get refunded, so I lost some $$$ in all of this.iStyles responded:
Thank you for the feedback. We're glad that you liked the service but sorry to hear that it did not work out for you in the end despite the free replacement of Skins that were damaged during the Skin application process.
The Skins have a special weaved adhesive that allow for easy repositioning and bubble free application. However, the actual application mileage varies from person to person and it can indeed take a little more effort for some devices depending on the layout. The final result will be well worth the effort. It is important that the device is well cleaned prior to application. If applied properly and subject to normal wear and tear, a Skin will last for years.
It is indeed possible that the Skins had a "freshly baked" smell as the products were made on demand, they were packed and shipped immediately after production, and you received yours just a week after they were made. We've not had complaints of "odor" from other customers but this "smell" will go away rather quickly as you've experienced.
We are just as disappointed as you are that it did not work out. Thank you for stopping by anyway.
iStyles5/My decal came in the mail and my first impression was that it was a REALLY nice looking decal. I was so happy with the way it looked and the fact that I got a matching wallpaper with it. It was easy to get on, but I had to cut a little of the sides to get it to fit and I didn't use the front decal. Overall I'm very pleased with it and I've even gotten compliments on the design!H. KLEIN, United States, 5 December 2013iStyles responded:
Thank you for the review. We're glad that you like the Skin!
You mentioned "Purple rain skin for Samsung Galaxy Tab 3" in your review submission but your order was for a "Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Skin" and this may be the reason why the Skin required a modification to fit. Skins for the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 are not available yet but we're glad that you managed to make the Skin to fit!
iStyles5/I ordered a matte finish but received a gloss finish skin. Other than that the service was great.R. Lundy, United States, 2 December 2013
Update 4 Jan 2014: iStyles goes above and beyond to please customers. I had received a gloss skin by mistake and I mentioned it in my original review. It wasn't a big deal. But iStyles sent me a new matte skin free of charge. I will use them again.
iStyles5/Been searching high and low for the perfect personalization of my device. IStyles has the best selection I have seen so far and the prices are the lowest, too.T. Shipley, United States, 29 November 2013
iStyles5/Very very very bad !!! Not reseved my stickers and refused to returen my money ! Take care and dont spend you money go to gelaskins it is betterr. suwais, Saudi Arabia, 29 November 2013iStyles responded:
The zip code in your address was incomplete and this is probably the reason why your package has not arrived yet.
As per our correspondence, we offered to reship your package, which you did not accept, and we can only process a refund for the products returned when this package delivery fails and gets "returned to sender".
iStyles5/First off the finish on the macbook pro retina decal is very pixelated and doesn't fit well around the edges of my laptop or around the speakers. I found it to be very difficult to apply without stretching the vinyl. Even the free background was pixelated and less-than-standard definition. Not worth $30+ especially now that its worthless. Wasted time and money. :/C. Cox, United States, 27 December 2013iStyles responded:
We're sorry to hear that you had problems with the application. The MacBook Skins are more difficult to apply because of the large size and layout but the end result is usually well worth the effort.
The "Black Woodgrain" pattern of your Skin was designed to mimic the look of black woodgrain and there is unfortunately a certain level of fuzziness to achieve this effect.
We can get a replacement Skin (of another design) made for you at no charge and you just have to cover the shipping cost to get it to you. If you would like to go for this replacement, please contact us at [email protected]
Update: As per our correspondence, we will be reshipping the same design to you. We're glad that you liked the Skin after all and assume that your initial dissatisfaction was because the Skin was damaged during the application process. We hope that the new Skin will work better for you.
iStyles5/Fantastic selection of products, can be slightly fiddly to apply the finer decals but patience and persistence will reward you with a fantastic looking device. I've ordered from iStyles several times and will be coming back for more soon.T. Kubiak, Australia, 22 November 2013
iStyles5/I bought a skin for my phone at a very cheap price, and was expecting for the shipping to take forever. It actually arrived pretty quickly, and the quality is perfect. It also came with a bonus free wallpaper, which looked great and made my phone complete. Awesome store!G. Morgan, Canada, 20 November 2013
iStyles5/I was very happy with the case when it arrived.it looks great, you just can't get great unique designs like this in the UK. It fitted my Samsung galaxy s4 perfectly. The only issue I have with the case is I use an aux cable regularly in my car to play music through the stereo and you have to push the cable quite firm to fit past the silicone casing. Other than that delivery time was great and I'm happy I Spent the money on a decent good quality case. Looks great and feels safe.B. Jones, United Kingdom, 18 November 2013
iStyles5/What a amazed these faked reacts posted on this bad website. It' been 3 weeks now from us to canada, which I never experienced delay from any sellers and I am still waiting. I recommend you using gelaskin, vinylskin or tens of them out there. I fought for slow and low quality service against this seller more than 1 month now got exhausted. Please don't waste your time and money.P. Kim, Canada, 10 November 2013iStyles responded:
We're sorry that your experience did not meet your expectation. We understand that you were upset that your order has not arrived yet in your email on 7 November but it was just 1+ week at that time. While many international deliveries happen within 1+ week, especially so for USA to Canada shipments, it can take longer depending on how the postal services handle the mail.
Your order was received on Friday 25 October and shipped on Monday 28 October. The postal mail shipping method that you selected has a stated '6 to 11 business days estimated' shipping time and this very much depends on how USPS and Canada Post handles the mail.
We will be at the 2 week mark tomorrow (11 November) - not 3 weeks or 1 month - and though the postal service is not early, they are not exceedingly late either such that we should be worried because it is still within the estimated shipping time.
As long as your delivery address is correct, precisely, it should be all right and the package is on its way. Try checking with the post office that services your area too (quote package id LN823204587US) - your package will be relatively large because it contains a Galaxy Note 8 Skin and it is possible that your postman attempted a delivery, could not fit the package into your mailbox and 'forgot' (it happens) to leave the collection slip. Your package may be awaiting your collection, but if it is not, please give them more time. It is on its way!
iStyles5/I really like the quality of the material of this skin for my original XBOX. It has wonderful color, very durable and not difficult to apply to the console.H. Katz, United States, 1 November 2013
The company provided excellent service via fast shipping with the product thoughtfully and carefully packaged.
I would also like to add that the customer service was spot on via fast email responses to my questions.
No complaints here and I am very satisfied.
iStyles5/I really enjoy skin cover with several complements, very easy to install and very quick shipping. I will continue to tell friends and family as well purchase for other electronic device's. Keep up the good work!A. Painter, Guam, 25 October 2013

iStyles5/Didn't imagine they would have had what I was looking for. They made me into a believer.R. MONTOYA, United States, 24 October 2013
iStyles5/International shipping was very quick. The skin fit perfectly and was straightforward to apply following the instructions. The downloadable wallpaper was as simple as it gets to obtain. Thank you - very highly recommended.G. Baxter, Australia, 22 October 2013
iStyles5/Thank you Tom, I am extremely satisfy with the product and the quality of the skin. I see myself buying future products from the company and for sure will recommend the products to friends/family.I. Francis, Canada, 20 October 2013
iStyles5/Very careful and fast shipping. Good quality product. Greetings from Spain.J. Cabrera Olleta, Spain, 16 October 2013
iStyles5/This was not my first order, but it was my first custom order. I chose to order a skin for my Kobo GLO with an image of my horse and a citation form a French author. I had a lot of fun to design the image and when I finally sent it to iStyles, I couldn't wait to see the results. And I was thrilled when it arrived ! It was so beautiful and it really suits my Kobo.S. Terrasse, Switzerland, 14 October 2013
Now, I know that my next order for my iPhone will be a custom skin and nothing else. :-)
iStyles5/Living in the UK, and with this product being sent from America, I was afraid there would be problems with delivery. However the service was great, with the product even arriving early. The skin fits perfectly on my kindle and looks great. I would recommend this site to everyone!H. Millar, United Kingdom, 5 October 2013
