Skins

3/5

I had a great experience with iStyles’ customer service—they were excellent. When I mistakenly ordered the wrong item in my first order, they responded very quickly. While they couldn’t refund me or sell me just the one replacement part of the skin I needed, due to the printing method, they gave me a huge discount on my second order—even bigger than the default discount they offer with a purchase—so I could buy the correct skin. 5/5 for customer service.

However, the headset the skin itself is disappointing—I’d rate it 3/5 at best. I buy skins for all my devices and have never had an issue, but the Meta Quest 3 skin is awkward and doesn’t sit well on the device. The skin comes on a template where you peel it off, and while it's a single solid piece, it has multiple slits around the edges—possibly to make peeling it off easier? Unfortunately, when applied to the Meta Quest 3, these slits cause visible gaps all around the device, which don’t look great. The quality of the skin itself is excellent, and the adhesive is forgiving, allowing for repositioning if needed. But the slits all around the edges of the skin look pretty bad and not as advertised.

The controller skins are better—I'd give them a 4/5. They don’t fit perfectly but are good enough to work well.

EXO Pioneer Meta Quest 3 Series Skin

iStyles responded:

Thank you for the review. We're happy to hear that the discount came in useful.

The slits on the main headset piece of the Meta Quest 3 (and Quest 3S) are necessary because the main surface on the front of this headset is not flat. If there were no slits, it will not be possible to apply this piece properly because excessive material will bulk up and crumble all around the edges; it'll be like trying to wrap a bowl (or ball) with a flat piece of paper. These slits help the Skin adapt to the curvature on the surface and fit better, and are shown on the product images.

There is a very tiny gap between the edge of the Skin and the controller edge, also as shown on the product image, and this was done on purpose so that these Skin pieces stay on better, because this reduces the chances of the Skin edges peeling. The controller surface is also slightly rounded near the edges and it is thus not possible to extend all the way. The controller pieces are to be applied such that they're centered on the controller, positioned precisely around the buttons.

We hope that these explanations help, and that you still like how the Skin set transforms the look of your Meta Quest 3S overall!

The sizing was off a little bit. Cut out for the screen was too big which made applying difficult and causing wrinkling when putting my Kobo in the clear case. Overall nice skin.

O Envio ficou preso na alfândega de Portugal, por não ter sido pago o IVA sobre o produto. Penso que deveria ser incluído no preço ao fazer a encomenda, tive que pagar €3,89 de IVA mais taxas de desalfandegamento que me custaram €10,04.

iStyles responded:

Lamentamos saber que você teve que pagar taxas alfandegárias. Esta cobrança é efectivamente "IVA" e já está incluída no preço de qualquer outro produto que adquira em Portugal. Como não estamos sediados na UE, o IVA é cobrado na alfândega.

Os produtos vendidos em nossa loja virtual não incluem essa taxa - cobramos apenas o custo do produto e o custo de envio. Este IVA é para o "consumo de bens e serviços dentro de um país" e é cobrado pela alfândega do país quando o pacote é importado.

The material it is made of is good.
But, the areas that are exposed are too many. The stickers are cut with too much margin and that makes them not fit very well. If you look from a distance everything seems correct, but if you look closely you see small bad details such as the corners lifting and peeling off, the areas where the sticker has to adapt to a curve do not fit and peel off. Also comment that there are several areas of the drone that are left without a sticker and it is ugly (the back legs, the loading area and sd card, the parts of the legs below.
In short, it could be a great product, but since it is not well adjusted, it is average to mediocre.

Hot Rod DJI Mini 2 Skin

iStyles responded:

Thank you for the feedback. We're happy that you like the Skin material but sorry to hear that your Skin started to peel.

These Skins will stick and generally outlast the lifespan of the device but this depends on the environmental factors that they're subjected to and how they were applied. Almost all (50 out of 52) of our Mini 2 Skin reviews were rated 5 stars; these customers would not have been happy if their Skin was peeling.

Our Skins come with a balanced adhesive that allows for easy application and goo-free removal. It is important that the Skin stays down and it is just as important that the Skin can be subsequently removed without damage to the drone. For example, if the Skin was "super glued" to the drone, it will stick well no matter the condition of the surface but it will not be removable.

The Skin adhesive does stick properly based on feedback from our other customers, but it is important to clean the device surface properly prior to Skin application. Drones in particular have to be cleaned well prior to Skin application because the surface can be dusty and oily, and this will adversely affect the ability of the Skin to stick properly.

Likewise, environmental factors, such as constant abrasion against the edge of the Skin, which is a similar action to peeling the Skin, and drone crashes, will inevitably result in the edge lifting. In addition, incorrect Skin positioning such that an edge overhangs the device edge will make these edges more vulnerable to peeling or damage. It's also possible the Skin adhesive might have been damaged during the Skin application process if you reapplied the Skin (peeling off and sticking again) too many times when positioning a piece.

The Skin was designed not to touch the surface edge on purpose as this ensures the longitivtiy of the Skin. Skins that are cut such that they reach the edges are much harder to apply as there is no margin for error and they may not stay on properly for long - such Skin edges will overhang if not applied with absolute robotic precision, will get caught up with use over time and are more likely to get lifted. This damages the Skin and will result in "corners lifting and peeling off".

There is supposed to be a very tiny gap between each Skin piece and the edge of the surface as shown on the product photo; the Skin is to be applied such that the "gap" is equal all around the Skin piece (Skin centered on the surface). If you pasted a Skin piece such that it is flush against one edge, this will result in more vulnerability at this Skin edge and a larger gap at the opposing edge.

Skin application on a drone can be complicated because of the extensive coverage and complex surfaces, especially so on curved surfaces. The Skin material is flexible and can adapt to curves, but it is very important that the surface is cleaned properly prior to application and the piece on the curved surface has to be pressed down hard.

We can get a complimentary Hot Rod DJI Mini 2 Skin made for you so that you can give this another go, and you just have to cover the ship cost to get the new package to you. If you would like to go for this replacement, please reply to the email that we sent to you and we'll set this up!

I must admit, very fast shipping. Kudos on that. But the 5 stars started to go down when i opened the package and there was generic directions that applies to all of their skins, I assume, because Between the illustrations and the instructions it helped me a total of 10%. Maybe posting videos or even actual instructions on website could be beneficial.
After watching YouTube to apply my iPhone 13 pro max skin I must say it came out rather nice. Between the quality and the fast shipping i will buy through these guys again.

Fox Sunset iPhone 13 Series Skin

3/5

The material feels great and was easily applied. I think the design is lovey and I had no issues with air bubbles or anything else applying it. It was quick and well priced.

The issue I have is that the skin does not cover the entirety of the device. The impetus for purchasing the skin was primarily to cover the feel of the decaying rubber that becomes tacky over time.

It was only after I applied it that I returned to the product image and noticed the nearly half inch gap around the edge of the back that has gone uncovered. Now I must choose between the tedium of finding another material to cover the gap or not using the product.

So make sure you check the details of the image since dimensions aren't listed anywhere on the product page.

Thank you for the review. We're happy to hear that you like the design and had a good experience shopping at iStyles.

The back Skin piece of this Elegy Barnes & Noble NOOK Simple Touch Skin set does not indeed cover all the way to the edge at the back of the e-reader as shown on the product images.

The back of this e-reader is not flat as it tapers near the edges; if the Skin was extended further, it will bend well near the edge as the Skin can wrap around a single axis, but as the material cannot wrap around 2 axis at the same time, excess material will bulk up at the corners where the surface is rounded. It's like trying to wrap a ball with paper. This back Skin was thus designed to cover the flat surface on the back of the e-reader without going too near the edges so as to avoid any issues.

The back Skin is to be applied such that it's centred on the back of the e-reader, leaving an equal "gap" all around from all four edges.

Unlike cases that are bulky and heavy, Skins are perfect for e-readers such as these because they protect the surfaces covered from scratches and do not weigh down the device. If you need comprehensive protection while the device is in use, a case is the only option as that wraps all around the device, but such cases may negatively affect your reading experience. If you get a transparent or translucent case, the design of the Skin will be visible through it.

Alternatively, we'll recommend keeping the Skin as it is for styling and scratch protection, and when you need to transport the e-reader, place it in a padded bag or sleeve. Matching tablet sleeves are available.

We've sent you an email regarding your experience. Please let us know via an email reply should you have any further queries or if you need assistance.

Color red isn't bright like the picture, it looks dull and faded. Disappointed.

Solid State Red DJI FPV Intelligent Flight Battery Skin

iStyles responded:

We're sorry to hear that the color was not what you expected. The product images were generated from the same source files that feed the printers and are correct, but they may appear different depending on the color calibration of the screen used to view them.

If you're looking for a vibrant fluorescent-like color, please consider the Fluorescent range - these use a special luminous vinyl that ensures high visibility.

We'll reach out to you shortly to see if you would like to do an exchange.

identificação numérica das baterias
a skyn não tem números nos adesivos para identificar as baterias.

L. Antonio, Portugal, 11 March 2021

iStyles responded:

Obrigado pelo feedback. As baterias do Mavic Mini 2 não são cobertas pela capa porque a bateria é armazenada dentro do Mavic Mini 2. Os conjuntos de capa Mavic Mini 2 impressos vêm com peças de capa impressas extras para cada bateria diferente (numeradas de 1 a 8), como você notou com seu pedido anterior, mas isso não é possível com o tema Neon Fluorescent Yellow DJI Mavic Mini 2 neste pedido atual, pois a faixa "Fluorescente" não é impressa - eles usam um vinil fluorescente especial que aumenta a visibilidade do drone, mas não pode ser impresso sobre.

Thank you for the feedback. The Mavic Mini 2 batteries are not covered by the Skin because the battery is stored within the Mavic Mini 2. The printed Mavic Mini 2 Skin sets do come with bonus printed Skin pieces to different each battery (numbered 1 to 8) as you have noticed with your previous order but this is not possible with the Neon Fluorescent Yellow DJI Mavic Mini 2 Skin in this current order as the "Fluorescent" range is not printed - they use a special fluorescent vinyl that enhances the visibility of the drone but cannot be printed on.

Item arrived bent, I did get it on but has a bumpy area! They ask for photos but when you look at a photo it does not show you how it feels! And looks in real life!! I strongly agree it is a good product and would protect! But when companies stall In a replacement, it just delays the RIGHT of what should be. True wasn’t company fault as was marked “do not bend” but still was bent and material stretched! But I was treated like I should accept that and use anyway! Satisfaction was not given so satisfaction has not been felt!!

ACU Camo Laptop Skin

iStyles responded:

We're sorry to hear that you are still unhappy with the outcome.

Thank you for your understanding that the damage to the package was caused by the postman, not us. It is amazing that he/she can still blatantly fold the envelope despite the cardboard packaging and very prominent "do not bend" sticker.

As per our email correspondence, we suggested applying the Skin as the Skin material itself is extremely resistant (and flexible), and any 'damage' on the Skin is just on the paper backing card and not on the Skin itself. Any ceases on the Skin can be easily smoothed out to perfection during application - the Skin is only properly damaged if it is cut or stretched.

If the Skin was badly damaged and this damage is still visible after application, we requested in our email correspondence that you send us photos. You do not have to return the damage product (as is the standard policy for any other company). You just have to send us photos and we will send you a replacement. As we did not hear from you, we assumed that all went well and that you managed to smooth out the Skin perfectly.

We're sorry to hear that all is still not well. I've approve your order for a reship and we'll send a new ACU Camo Dell XPS 15 9560 Skin to you. The replacement order is in the production queue and will ship in the next 1 to 2 business days when production is complete (estimated Monday). An email notification will be sent when the package goes out.

Please contact us at [email protected] should you have any further queries. We are here to help!
