EXO Pioneer PSP Slim & Lite Skin

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!
