Carbon Fiber Xbox 360 E Skin

Do Not Buy - Cut is Not Precise.

I got a skin for my Dell XPS 15 9560. The skin fits on the top side, but it's not cut precisely around the corners. Also, the circular cutout for the Dell logo is not centered!! I tried centering it, but the skin is just not cut properly. Disappointed considering that this skin costs as much as the skins of another laptop skins company which I had purchased skins from and loved (starts with a "D"). The only pro is that this skin seems to stick well - only time will tell...

We're sorry to hear that you did not like the Carbon Dell XPS 15 9560 Skin. This Skin set does fit a Dell XPS 15 9560 but it sounds like you've applied the lid Skin incorrectly if you found the Dell logo not centered. This lid Skin is supposed to be applied such that the logo is centered first before aligning the edges.

We're guessing that you aligned an edge first and then tried to force the rest of the Skin into place. This is incorrect as you're supposed to centre the logo first (not align the Skin edge).

The lid Skin edges are not supposed to be flush against the edge of the lid as such edges will get caught up easily during use and get damaged. There is a very tiny gap between the Skin edge and the laptop lid edge (as shown in the photos below); this makes the Skin edges less vulnerable and ensures that they stay down.

Try gently peeling the Skin off and reapplying, centering the logo first before aligning the edges. If applied correctly, the Skin will look like this and it does fit perfectly:

When the advert said a skin I was expecting a skin type case. What I got was a couple of stickers.

We're sorry to hear that the product was not what you thought it was. The product that you purchased is a Skin, which is an adhesive based protector as described on the product page.

"Skins are premium quality decals that feature stunning, high-resolution graphics printed on premium grade adhesive-backed cast vinyl. Skins provide low profile protection with no bulk and protects your Apple iPod touch 1st Generation from scratches. The unique weaved adhesive allows for fast, easy and accurate application, and goo-free removal."

Cases are available for other devices in another category . Cases are however not available for the iPod touch 1st Gen.

Give the Skin a try, we think that you'll like it. The Skin can also be used with a "case" if you need more coverage. Just apply the Skin first, then put on a clear plastic or translucent silicone case over it and you'll be able to see the Skin design through the case. The case has to be purchased from elsewhere.

Alternatively, you can return the Skin to us for a refund if you do not plan to use it. We've sent you an email with information on how you can return the product.

Bought a carbon fiber skin for my macbook pro 13 retina without cutout for the top logo. Ordered outer and inner skins. Expected there would be a bottom, but since it's not pictured I should have known better. Fit on the top is not good. I was able to center it on the top fine, but there is absolutely no way to get it on the top without leaving a very small border around all four edges. It's simply just a mm or two too small in all directions. Also even though the skin covers the logo, the skin is not fully opaque and the logo glows through it. It looks very bad. I ripped it off and trashed it. $42.00 in the trash. not pleased. I won't make the mistake of ordering from here again.

Carbon Apple MacBook Skin

iStyles responded:

Thank you for the feedback. We're sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with the Skin. We'll try to address your concerns as follows:

1) The "Outer" MacBook Skin does not cover the bottom because it is important to allow the device to "breath" during normal operation. This bottom area gets hot and the unibody acts as a heat sink - if it is covered, the heat will not be able to dissipate properly. The description states coverage for the top for the outer Skin and the area around the keyboard and trackpad for the inner Skin. We recommend using a Skin for styling and protection of the scratchable unibody during normal operation and when transporting the MacBook, put it in a padded sleeve or bag.

2) The Skin is opaque but the MacBook logo glow will be visible softly in very dim light conditions. Most customers like this effect and this is only visible in dim lighting. (the logo can be cut out for full visibility)

3) The top Skin will fit. If it's just an mm off on yours (out of the huge surface area on the lid Skin), it means that the Skin can be better stretched into place during the application process.
