The item was of poor quality and badly cut to shape. It was overlapping in some areas. For the price paid I expected far better

Solid State Black Xbox One X Skin

iStyles responded:

We are sorry to hear that you did not like the Solid State Black Xbox One X Skin set - this has a simple 5 piece flat surface Skin coverage where every piece is basically a rectangular cut and the pieces will not overlap.

As this recent order is your 2nd purchase from us, we assume that your previous order for a Patriotic Xbox 360 S Skin 7 months ago went well?

The Skin application process is similar and the Xbox One X Skin should actually be a little easier to put on because the surfaces are flat. Did you stretch the Skin pieces by accident during the application process? If stretched, the Skin will be longer than it was and this will explain the overlap.

We've just sent you an email - please reply to that email with photos showing what happened so that we can assist you further.

iStyles responded:

We're sorry to hear about your hat but you had us mixed up with another company. We do not sell hats.

We do hope you like the PlayStation 5 Controller Skin that you purchased from us though!

No goods have not arrived yet because I have to pay over 20% on top for VAT before I can collect my goods from the post office.

Considering This site offers 'free' and 'world wide' shipping and avoids mentioning this will come with additional costs for places like the UK.

This is the first time I have encountered such an issue with any orders, from overseas or otherwise.

We're sorry to hear that you had to pay an import fee. This charge is effectively "VAT" and is already factored into the pricing of any other product that you purchase within the UK.

Products that are sold on our web store do not include this charge. This VAT is for the "consumption of goods and services within a country" and is levied by the customs office of the country when the package is imported, if the package is above a certain value.

Given the size/weight of your package as the order was more than £60, the customs office probably took note and applied a charge. Your import VAT charge is £6.52 according to Royal Mail.

The UK is the only country that is checking postal mail imports to levy import tax and even then, we rarely receive feedback of taxes incurred from British customers as most packages fall below the minimum amount. We do state that prices quoted are before tax for UK destinations (at checkout).

You did indeed enjoy free shipping (worth $23.25) and a promotional discount (worth $27.48) on your order. Nobody likes taxes but just take it that part of these savings has now gone towards nation building.

The skin came. It didn’t cover the bottoms on the switch properly nor did it fit. I put it on with instructions as stated as I figured why not throw it on anyways. Fast forward to a week later when I needed to remove the skin as there was an issue with the product and it was collecting dirt around an area on the bottom as I recently injured myself and my hand has a lot of healing fresh skin coming off of it. Well Upon removal the adhesive ripped the Pokémon decal off the back of my device and ruined the Switch logo... I am beyond upset. I recently just purchased this new switch a week before getting this skin. VERY not happy: I will never order a skin from your company again. They shouldn’t ruin the device. I have bought many skins for my other switch Lite from other sources such as Slickwraps and DBrand and this one is for sure the worst quality. I guess design over quality is more important to this brand and I fell for it. Now I have a switch that is ruined because of your company and skin. Clearly after realizing the product was defective I removed the rest of it from the front of the device re ordered a skin from a different more reliable website to now cover up the damage your skin has caused my device. So NO, I am indeed not satisfied or happy.

Journeying Inward Nintendo Switch Lite Skin

iStyles responded:

We're sorry to hear about your negative experience with the Nintendo Switch Lite Skin. This Skin set is a single piece set that wraps around the front, top and back of the console - the bottom facing side is not covered. The Skin set was precision cut to fit the Switch Lite, but it has to be aligned correctly without leaving overhanging edges (that will collect dust as you've experienced).

Our Skins are made from premium 3M vinyl that comes with a balanced adhesive which allows for easy application and goo-free removal. The Skin adhesive's job is to stick on firmly such that the Skin will outlast the lifespan of the device, and yet, it is also removable. We have had Skins for the Nintendo Switch Lite for the past 7 months, since September 2019, and never received a single negative feedback about Skins for this console.

We suspect that the material or print on the back of your Pokemon edition Nintendo Switch Lite may be defective or it was printed with an inferior coating that is more fragile compared to the other "normal" Switch Lites out there. If the gentle adhesive of our Skin can damage it in such a way, these markings will most definitely wear or scratch off easily with daily use. Skins from any where else will also damage this same coating. Likewise, anything that you "stick" on it, like a piece of scotch tape, will cause similar damage. The "normal" Nintendo Switch Lites do not exhibit such an issue.

The Skin did not damage the back of our Switch Lite in our tests (Skins are pasted and removed several times during the template design stage), nor did it do so for any of our other customers. Yours was the first and only reported issue we received but we are taking this seriously and will investigate further. If necessary, we may remove Skin coverage on the back of this console.

I can get a complimentary Nintendo Switch Lite Skin shipped to you so that you can cover your console again and hide the defect on the back. Please reply to the email that we just sent you to let us know which design you would like to have and we'll set up the replacement order.

Update: The Nintendo Switch Lite Zacian & Zamazenta Edition has a special finish that is incompatible with any kind of adhesive. We've updated our product pages to state the incompatibility with this model. The Skins work well with the standard Nintendo Switch Lite models.

Electrify Ice Blue Nintendo 2DS XL Skin

iStyles responded:

We're sorry to hear about what happened to your Skin. Thank you for the photos that were sent via email.

These photos however show that you've stretched the Skin during the Skin application process. The Skins have to be applied carefully and are more vulnerable at thin areas, especially the tiny stripes that go around the screen frame of your Nintendo 2DS XL.

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 well they were applied.

Our Skins come with a special weaved adhesive that allows for easy application and damage free removal - the adhesive strength is a balance between something that sticks well, and something that is also removable when you do decide to take the Skin off. A stronger adhesive like those used on conformed vinyl (eg, car wraps) will stick more strongly but such adhesive can damage the surface of the device as they are too aggressive.

These non-conformed vinyl Skins will stick well but it is extremely important that the device is cleaned properly prior to application as any residue can affect the adhesive strength. Cleaning the device well prior to Skin application is especially important on a gaming device where there's usually a fair bit of residue from perspiration.

Likewise, environmental factors, such as constant abrasion against the edge of the Skin, 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.

Given what happened to your Skin and your dissatisfaction with it, we've processed a full refund for your order. I hope that this satisfies your concern.

I messed this up

I thought it was the actual guitar so i was surprised when it was only the decal

You can buy Guitar Heros here.

You can return the Skin for a refund if you have not used it yet. I've raised a return request for you and we'll send you an email with return instructions in the next business day.

I purchased skins for a X Box 360, X Box Connect, Wii, Wii Controllers and Controllers for the X Box. All of these were "Satin Black" so as to cover the original "white plastic" that they were made from. I simply wanted to "hide" them in my audio cabinet. Now I have BLACK AND WHITE system items behind the glass. They did not cover the entire item, thus leaving white to show. A "skin" covers, it does not "patch" in spots. The cutouts for sensors are too large as well. Not worth it!

Poor, the thing did not even fit my machine. I ordered a ps3 cover and it was like out of shape and unproportional. like... if the machines dimensions are 10in x 13in. the cover they sent me was like 9in x 15in, so the cover did not cover all of one dimension but hung over another... this is really frustrating because it is not like I can put the sticker back on its film and send it back… Not even the portion of the cover that was suppose to crop around the (on/off/eject) buttons were the right size and or shape... both off the buttons on my machine are circles and the cut out in the cover they sent me that was suppose to go over the eject shaped like an arrow… i guess this is a learning experiance. fool me once.

iStyles responded:

Mark, we're sorry to hear about the fitting problem but based on your description, you've ordered a Skin for the wrong PS3 in your order 130142.

You should have gone for this Skin instead of what you ordered.

Have you used the Skin yet? If you have not, can you contact us at [email protected] so that we can assist you with the return of the product?
