iStyles5/I have used iStyles skins on several laptops now and highly recommend them. They look wonderful, and have excellent longevity. The first set I bought is still going strong with no apparent wear after almost 10 years. They simply do what they’re designed to do. They protect your electronics while looking sharp in the process!J. Gautney, United States, 23 October 2024
iStyles5/iStyles.com has fantastic customer service. They didn't have the product I wanted, so Michael was kind enough to send me alternatives. I picked a replacement, and it arrived five days earlier than I expected.K. Carlson Osorio, United States, 27 September 2024
iStyles5/Wow - what a great product! This is exactly what I was looking for. I received the product much sooner than expected; I placed the order 6 Jan and received it 11 Jan.K. Ragsdale, United States, 12 January 2024
I received a courtesy email when the order was placed, the product was shipped, delivered, and post delivery to ensure I was pleased with the purchase or if I had any questions - Excellent customer service.
The product came with clear, user friendly instructions and took me all of 5 minutes to apply to my MacBook Air (13 inch, M1, 2020).
iStyles5/I have received it, installed it, and love it. Thank you so much!M. Lanier, United States, 2 September 2023
iStyles5/Wonderful mac skin this is my fourth or fifth one including my PC and track pads. Customer service is great and get back to you with any questions. Will continue to buy when needed.R. Iturria, United States, 29 August 2023
iStyles5/Its more amazing than expected. I will definitely be purchasing more skins in the near future.A. Phipps, Canada, 1 August 2023
iStyles5/Amazing quality and very fast delivery. I haven't found another shop with so much choice.C. Wester, Netherlands, 11 July 2023
I've ordered here for many years, for many different devices and the quality is always very good and the customer service is great.
I only wish that they had an European distribution center. Due to import costs, the price is very high.
iStyles5/I am very happy with the new skin for my Macbook Pro 14 inch. It was delivered very quickly and there were clear instructions included and all of the parts of the skin were extremely easy to attach. I was also surprised and happy when I found a skin for the bottom also. I've never received a skin for the bottom of a laptop before. Usually it's just the top and around the keyboard.L. Felder, United States, 21 January 2023
Overall 5 stars for my whole experience with iStyles!
Thank you!
iStyles5/Amazing customer service. Not often found these days. I'm hooked on this company and their products.C. Fosgate, United States, 7 September 2022
iStyles5/Fast Shipping & Great QualityT. Tattini, United States, 25 November 2021
Very easy to use website, and reliable!
iStyles5/I purchased two items recently, a Winter Marble MacBook Pro 15-inch Skin and a Winter Green Marble Microsoft Surface Book 3 15-inch i7 Skin. I have never ordered from iStyles, but boy will I DEFINITELY use them for future purchases.M. Freytes, United States, 3 November 2021
Customer service was prompt and amazing, reached out to me immediately after my purchase and wanted to ensure my satisfaction.
I received both items in the mail very quickly and they are INCREDIBLE. They are extremely easy to install. Not only that, but they are beautiful and made of great quality (it does not feel cheap in any way!). I was so shocked that my first purchase from this website turned out so amazing. Definitely unexpected but I am a very very satisifed customer.
Will keep ordering from this iStyles from now on!
iStyles5/Received faster than expected and in perfect condition. Thx!B. Stokes, United States, 29 October 2021
iStyles5/Happy camperA. Faris, United Kingdom, 27 January 2021
Very pleased with the quality of the product I purchased. Even more impressive though, was the outstanding customer service demonstrated by the team over at iStyles: I received a follow-up email almost immediately upon the delivery of my order to check if I had any queries and/or was satisfied with the product. This wasn’t necessary, but a small gesture like this makes a huge difference in the overall experience of buying something - it makes you feel like a valued customer. Kudos to the iStyles team for doing a great job! Highly recommended!
iStyles5/Excellent product! Easy to use and looks amazing! Fast shipment too! Thank you!G. Job, United States, 3 November 2020
iStyles5/More beautiful than expectedI. Thangaraj, United Kingdom, 21 July 2020
The only seller who had Vincent van Gogh's Almond blossom print with a cut out for the apple logo.
The whole process of placing the order to receiving the product went to schedule. It was more beautiful than expected and easy to fix although it was useful to watch a tutorial on you tube. I also bought a matching case to use when I travel. Overall, extremely happy and I am not easily pleased!
iStyles5/Michael was prompt and kind. He was even concerned about my safety. I really appreciate his great customer service, which really stands out !!! Thank you for everything!!!!P. Mandich, Canada, 25 May 2020
iStyles5/Good, I'm satisfied isn't even close to a strong enough sentiment! I didn't even know I needed customer support. They figured it out on their own and reached out to me. Who does that? They are the most honorable company I've ever dealt with!B. Pearson, United States, 4 May 2020
iStyles5/26 March 2020. Shipped 24 April 2020 Had I known it would take 4 weeks to ship I would have looked elsewhere. No clue or update as to the quality or even if it will arrive so asking for feedback on a product that you shipped but customers haven't seen yet is a bit pointless.R. Dalton, United Kingdom, 24 April 2020iStyles responded:
We're sorry to hear that your package has not arrived yet. Such feedback requests are not pointless because it tells us when something went wrong so that we can check and help!
Your order was received on 26 March and shipped on 27 March. During normal times, while USA to UK deliveries can happen in just 1+ week, it usually takes between 1 to 3 weeks and can sometimes take as long as 4 to 6 weeks in rare cases when there are delays in the postal services. We wish we can make the delivery happen more quickly but the actual delivery time very much depends on how quickly the postal services route the package.
These days are however not normal times. Postal services and international flights are operating at reduced capacity because of covid-19 and this may affect the delivery time. International postal mails ride on commercial flights and because most of these were grounded, it takes longer than usual for shipment to the destination country as every package/mail has to squeeze onto whatever few flights there are left.
According to the package tracking, your package left the USA on 28 March as it went through the international distribution centre. We noticed that there were severe delays for UK shipments that were shipped in the later half of March. These packages were routed through other countries because of the limited flights available and were taking longer than usual to arrive.
Shipments after in April appear to be fine - a recent review was posted by another British customer who received his package in just 3 business days (shipped 17 April, delivered 22 April).
It's also possible that Royal Mail attempted to deliver your package:
1) Please check your account page to ensure that your delivery address is correct. If you're not certain, please send us an email at [email protected] to check.
2) Try checking at the nearby post office. Your package will be rather large as it contains a MacBook Skin and it is likely that the postman could not fit it into your mailbox. He should have left a note for the collection of this package from the nearby post office but this note is sometimes misplaced. Please drop by the post office that services your area, quote USPS delivery id LJ594392315US and ask if they have a package for you. Explain that it will be a large and flat cardboard envelope that might not have fitted in your mailbox. Post offices usually keep such mails in a 'undeliverable drawer'.
If your package is not there, it means that they have not finished routing the mail to you. Such deliveries usually happen within 1 to 3 weeks but it can take longer because of covid-19 disruptions.
Please send us an email at [email protected] if you do not receive this package by 15 May. We will ship another package to you if it does not arrive by this date.
Update: Package delivered by Royal Mail on 2 May
iStyles5/Fits my Mac perfectly. Love it! This is the second set i purchased and am impressed how long the skin actually lasts. I had one on my MacBook Air and the skin lasted the whole life of the computer! Great buy!R. Witkowski, United States, 9 February 2020
iStyles5/I am a repeat customerJ. Nunemacher, United States, 20 May 2018
High quality skins. Very fast shipping.
iStyles5/High Quality Product!R. Ree, United States, 29 April 2018
I have had skins from other manufacturers and this one far surpasses their competitors! It was easy to apply, with no air bubbles. The material itself is a nice, vinyl feel. The material did not tear or stretch, and it has a nice smooth feel to it once installed. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for an excellent quality laptop skin.
iStyles5/just received my skinsb. chee, Singapore, 14 February 2018
AWESOME stuff!
very happy I am
iStyles5/Easy to apply, and fix if you don't get it right the first time! Both have been on for over a month with daily use and still stuck, even after some repositioning. With tons of options, fast shipping and good product, I'd over again. Cheers!J. Stark, Canada, 28 January 2018
iStyles5/Great productK. Harewood, United States, 18 February 2017
Looking for an easy way to customize your electronics and make them stand out? Look no further. Easy to apply and easy to remove, high quality and MANY designs to choose from for a wide range of devices.
iStyles5/I bought a MacBook Pro 13" NON-Retina skin for my late 2011 MacBook Pro 13". The skin description states that it would fit all 13" non-retina MacBook Pros. However, the skin did not fit edge to edge- it was too small. In fact, it left almost a centimeter of exposed case all around its perimeter. It looks awful that way- very ill fitted- so I just threw it out. In addition, I purchased the exterior only skin expecting both a top and bottom skin to cover the exterior of my MacBook, but instead i received only the top skin. The item descriptions seem extremely misleading.M. Lau, Canada, 11 January 2017
Edit: I've increased my rating to 3 stars for the exceptional customer service. I wasn't expecting a response nor a refund, but both occurred promptly which I appreciate. Thank you to iStyles for taking the time to read and respond to my feedback as well as offering me a refund.iStyles responded:
We're sorry to hear that you were not happy with the Skin. The "Outer Skin only" (not "Skins") option for the White Marble MacBook Pro 13" Skin that you purchased only comes with the lid Skin. The bottom of the MacBook Pro 13" gets hot during operation and it is important to allow this surface to breath. This bottom area is rarely seen as it is against the table and it's protected from scratches by its rubber feet.
The large lid Skins are not cut to fit absolutely precisely with zero tolerance. There're cut very slightly smaller (1 to 2 mm all around) to allow for slight stretching during the application. The Skin has to be centered on the lid (around the Apple logo) and if applied without stretching, will result in a silver "frame" of the artwork. If the Skins are cut precisely to the lid size, most people will end up with Skin edges that overhang the edge. A slightly smaller cut allows for a more "forgiving" Skin application. In fact, if you're careful, you can very gently stretch the whole piece into place for a perfect fit during the Skin application, but it's easiest to simply centre it.
We want our customers to be happy with the products and we're sorry to hear that you were not. We've processed a full refund for your order. I hope that this is an acceptable resolution.
iStyles5/Great selection, impressive delivery, lovely quality. Really happy with my purchases.A. Bridges, New Zealand, 30 December 2016
iStyles5/I love the skins. However I am disappointed that there is no skin for the base of the Macbook Air. I messed up the skin for the keyboard and did not want to spoil the skin by pulling it out again. Wish it is easier to center it right and apply without bubbles.L. Liu, Hong Kong, 16 May 2016iStyles responded:
Thank you for the review. We're glad that you like the MacBook Air 13-inch Skins but sorry to hear that you accidentally messed up the inner Skin for one of them.
Skin Application
The MacBook inner Skins are precision cut to cover the area around the keyboard - the complexity and large size of this surface does make Skin alignment a little more tricky but the final effect when it's done properly is well worth the effort. What we generally do during Skin application is to first align the Skin to the major physical cutouts, and in this case, that will be the trackpad area. Peel the whole inner Skin off and start with the bottom half; hold the Skin at both ends of the wrist rest area and gently position until it aligns perfectly to the trackpad. One trick will be to keep the top half (the thin stripes that go beside the keyboard) folded back over the bottom half such that the stripes do not get stuck on your MacBook when you're positioning the bottom half. Once you've aligned the trackpad, everything else will fall in place with a little guidance.
Do not press the Skin down until you are happy with the alignment - this makes it easier to reposition the Skin if the first alignment attempts fail.
When you're happy with the alignment, start pressing the Skin down firmly from the inside out so that bubbles will not get caught. Even if bubbles do get caught, they can be pressed out with a finger as the Skin comes with a special weaved adhesive that allows for air pockets to be "massaged" out.
Replacement Skin
We can get another replacement inner Skin made for you to give the Skin application another go at no charge and you just have to cover the shipping cost to get this new package to you.
If you would like to go for this replacement, please send us an email at [email protected] to let us know which MacBook Air 13-inch Skin was spoil (you purchased two) and we'll set up the replacement order for you. Or if you would like to place an order for something else (matching cases for your phone? We also sent a discount via email), let us know the order number and we'll add the replacement inner Skin to it.
Bottom Skin
The Outer/Inner Combo MacBook Air 13" Skin sets will cover the lid and area around the keyboard on your MacBook but they will not include a bottom Skin. You can technically purchase another "Outer lid" Skin and make cuts manually for the rubber feet on the bottom of your MacBook but we will not recommend doing so. The unibody construction of the MacBook acts as a heat sink and helps to dissipate heat during operation. If the bottom area is covered, the MacBook will not be able to "breath" as well, resulting in higher operating temperatures that can cause reduced performance and shorten electronics lifespan.
We recommend using the Skin for styling and scratch protection - when you need to transport the MacBook, put it in a padded sleeve (like the one you purchased too) or bag. The bottom of the MacBook does not require a Skin as it's usually facing a surface (eg, on a table), it does not come into direct contact with this surface (will not get scratched) because of the rubber feet on the bottom and people rarely see this surface as it's either on the table or packed in a bag.
iStyles5/Love my laptop skin!B. Schaffels, United States, 25 February 2016
I wanted to put a skin on my new computer to help reduce the chance that a stranger might pick it up and walk away with it by making it more obviously "Mine."
I loved the great assortment of offerings, and was finally able to choose something that really fit my lifestyle. It arrived quickly, was packaged very well, and was easy to apply to my computer.
I would definitely recommend iStyles skins to other users.
iStyles5/Great Product! Already referred friends! Love the skin, it fits perfectly... If you take the time to make it fit perfectly lolD. Fleeger, United States, 24 February 2016
iStyles5/Loved the skin I got for my Mac it was easy to put on and looks amazing!B. Garcia, United States, 12 February 2016
iStyles5/The product is awesome. People have no problem understanding how much I LOVE leopard print. If someone tries to take it, there will be no problem identifying my computer. The iStyles leopard print has glammed it up like no other!J. Jeffers, United States, 30 January 2016
iStyles5/I was a first time user and very pleasantly surprised at the timely, courteous and personalized customer service!L. McLaughlin, Canada, 8 January 2016
I started out with a possible order at their posted price, but then hesitated to complete the transaction when I discovered it was in US funds since it put the cost above my budget. I received a quick inquiry from iStyles customer service to ask if there was anything they could do to help, and then offered me a discount which more than covered the exchange rate. I was very pleased and confirmed the order. I placed the order way too close to expect it to arrive for Christmas, and was very impressed when the item actually arrived several days later and in time to be under the tree! I would not hesitate to use and recommend iStyles to anyone!
iStyles5/Almost perfect but....almost.L. Wojcik, Japan, 23 October 2015
Delivery didn't take long.
After receiving the product I was positively surprised with how good it actually looks.
You can say just from looking at it that it was printed just few days ago and they even sent it (the sticker) not cut out but with whole surroundings so you may use those pieces for anything you want.
It's really great because they added small sticker for MacBook charger too.
It's incredible how well it lies on the surface of my MacBook body especially considering the fact that I had many really deep scratches on it.
The only thing if I may say was a negative surprise. I don't know if I'm supposed to stretch it strong but it doesn't really cover whole surface of my MacBook . It lacks about 2mm on each side.
This is why I'd give 4/5iStyles responded:
Thank you for the review. The MacBook Skins are cut very slightly smaller so that they're easier to apply. The MacBook Retina 15-inch is rather large at 35.89cm x 24.71cm - if the Skin is cut precisely to fit and a customer accidentally stretches the Skin by a little, it will result in an overhanging Skin edge (which is worse). The Skin can be stretched gently into place to cover the last 1 to 2mm for an absolutely perfect fit if you wish but it's all right to leave your Skin application as it is because this tiny gap is not visible compared to the overall Skin size and it helps reduce the possibility of the Skin edge getting caught and damaged.
We're glad that the package arrived quickly, and that you liked how the Skin covered the deep scratches on your MacBook and how good the Skin looks on the whole.
iStyles5/Perfect, no issues at all.J. Neves, Portugal, 30 June 2015
The order process was simple, the product was what expected.
iStyles5/I am very happy with my Aurora skin for my MacBook. It was so easy to put on. Just take your time! You will Enjoy whatever skin you get for your device!! When I call them they were helpful in answering all my questions. Thanks istylesG. Ptacek, United States, 3 June 2015
iStyles5/iStyles is great, except for one thing - they use USPS to ship orders. In my case, "two-day priority" shipment took more than a week to arrive - the order addressed to a Virginia address came to Pennsylvania and then was diverted to Alabama (??) before making its way to Virginia. As a result, the package missed my kid's birthday and obviously didn't have the effect it was meant to. iStyles should probably drop USPS and use commercial carriers (without 50% premium to the item price). If you order from iStyles, make sure you do so at least two-three weeks in advance - it also takes some time to make an item before it ships.E. GRINYOV, United States, 27 April 2015iStyles responded:
We're sorry to hear that the package missed your kid's birthday.
We have different shipping options available, ranging from USPS First-class that starts from just $2 but takes between 1 to 3 weeks for delivery, to UPS Express that takes just 1 business day for delivery but can be costly (because they are a private courier service). The USPS Priority shipping option that you selected is a good compromise between the two as it only cost a few dollars more than First-class but they're still relatively quick. Ignore the "2-day" claim on USPS' website as that is misleading and we never advertise it as such - USPS Priority usually takes between 3 to 5 business days for delivery and the "estimated shipping date" that we quote at checkout on our site reflects this turnaround time.
1 to 2 business days are indeed required for the production of an order as all Skins and Cases are freshly baked and ship directly from the production facility. Your order was received on Thursday night (2 April), the warehouse was close over the weekend, the package was shipped on Monday morning (6 April) and delivered on the Monday after (13 April). This is within the estimated delivery time quoted when you checked out. If you placed the order a day earlier (on Wednesday), you probably would have avoided hitting both weekends - the package would have shipped on Friday and would have been delivered between 8 to 10 April.
We're sorry that the package did not make it for your kid's birthday but I hope that he still likes his new MacBook Air Skin.
iStyles5/The skin looks and fits beautifully. I ordered two, one for my computer and one for the gopro. Both are very high quality prints, and very easy to apply. So far they have held up great with absolutely no problems. Shipping was fast, and customer service was excellentL. Montgomery, United States, 19 December 2014
iStyles5/There were many skins to chose from, and I found the perfect one for my MacBook Pro. The laptop was previously my daughters, and there were a few dents on the cover. The pattern I found (wildflowers) was simple and elegant, covered the flaws, and made the Mac look like a sophisticated fashion statement. And the logo cut out? When the Mac is on and the apple is lit, it is really beautiful!R. Accorso, United States, 8 December 2014
iStyles5/I accidentally ordered 2 decals and immediately sent them an e-mail indicating my problem. They were quick to respond and correct the situation. Thanks!E. Tate, United States, 15 October 2014
iStyles5/I actually love my skin. The only problem I have with it is that it was ... not the right size? I know that I ordered the proper size ( I mean how in the world can you mess up ordering a skin for a 15" Mac Book Pro Retina?). However, it was as if the skin was stretched JUST a hair out of shape. I did a bit of cosmetic altering and it's fine now. I can say that this experience will not stop me from ordering from iStyles again. Everything else in the order was perfect, so zero complaints.T. Wilson, United States, 15 October 2014
iStyles5/Great experience, well done job. The comprehensive Service around my order was very simple in process and well done during the complete order transaction. The delivered foile was simple in use presented and the result was really great. Thanks for this very easy transaction and the great product.m. breithor, Germany, 28 July 2014
iStyles5/I have purchased from iStyles years ago, and though I was satisfied with my skin decal then, I can definitely say that the quality of the product has improved. Installation is even easier now. I love all of the color options and finish options.C. Theodore, United States, 25 July 2014
iStyles5/Speedy and painless delivery, also to Scandinavia (and probably rest of Europe).V. Vahermaa, Finland, 26 June 2014
I ordered multiple skins for my devices for a fair price, expecting to wait a few weeks for the order to actually arrive. However, not only was ordering and paying for the order extremely convenient, the order arrived faster than expected. 10/10, would order again.
iStyles5/Nice Website, Crummy Product. It was hard to put on and looks crappy. you can't take it off to adjust it because it stretches.It's also too small and the edges aren't covered.K. Rea, United States, 18 June 2014iStyles responded:
Thank you for the feedback. We're sorry to hear that you had problems with the Skin application. Skins are sturdy and will usually outlast the device if applied properly but they can stretch if pulled too hard during the application process. The inner MacBook Skins are more difficult to apply as you've experienced because of their large size and thin stripes, but the final result will be well worth the effort. The trick is simply not to press the Skin down until you are happy with the alignment, and to peel off gently if you need to reposition, especially so at the thin Skin areas (such as those around the trackpad).
We can make another Skin for you at no charge and you just have to cover the shipping charge to get this new Skin to you. Let us know if this is what you want and we'll get this set up. We've sent you an email regarding this matter.
iStyles5/After spending about an hour on the site, I finally had a few choices to compare. My daughter loved one, so we got that style for her DS and I got a different style for my Mac Air. Both arrived quickly and the installation was a snap. I had absolutely no trouble putting these on their devices. Thanks for the great service.A. Walker, United States, 17 June 2014
iStyles5/The iStyles skin from DecalGirl is even more beautiful than I imagined. Even my husband, who hardly ever notices or at least hardly ever compliments anything, said my iStyles skin looked pretty cool on my laptop. Believe me, that's high praise. 5 stars.S. Bahlmann, United States, 27 May 2014
iStyles5/Perfect shipment, packaging and high quality product. The products were perfect fitted, with high end materials and a good instructions manual. We will repeat buying new designs.J. Orellana Del Castillo, Andorra, 19 April 2014
iStyles5/Received the "Aspen" Macbook 11-inch skin today.. First, it arrived quickly, shipped & to me in 3 days. Love the skin & the matte finish - it was exactly what I wanted & was as close to the same colors as could possible be on their website. I had no problems at all putting it on my computer…the directions that are included are simple & super easy to understand. The skin fits perfectly & looks amazing! I will be ordering a second "outer" skin to put on the back (or bottom) of my Mac to protect it also…I know I'll have to make a few modifications to it, but to me, it's well worth the money to get. Also downloaded the matching wallpaper - looks great & took all of about 2 minutes to download. I'll definitely be buying skins from them in the future!J. McDowell, United States, 22 February 2014iStyles responded:
Thank you for the review. We're glad that you like the Skin!
We will not however recommend getting another Skin for the bottom of your MacBook. The unibody construction of the MacBook acts as a heat sink and helps to dissipate heat during operation. If the bottom area is covered, the MacBook will not be able to "breath" as well.
We recommend using the Skin for styling and scratch protection and when you need to transport the MacBook, put it in a padded sleeve or bag.

Higgins, United Kingdom, 12 January 2014
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/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/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.B. Lewis, United States, 29 September 2013iStyles 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.
iStyles5/I have been a customer for over a year and I just love the variety of devices that u can put the skins on. I love how detailed they are too. My favorite finish is the Matte. Thanks istyles... I now have a matching skin set for my Samsung Galaxy Note II and Macbook Pro 13". :)J. Frazier, United States, 24 August 2013
iStyles5/The violin skin is beautiful and I've already received tons of compliments on it! I will definitely be promoting iStyles as much as I can to my friends and family.L. Wilson, United States, 18 May 2013
Shipping was fast, the product is fantastic and the customer service has been outstanding.
Thank you so much.

iStyles5/Yesterday I received the items and I really have to tell you how satisfied I am with them. They fit perfectly to my BBerry and Mac I like the way it was packed and delivered and I also like the invoice printed on the other side of the guidelines, which saves some precious paper. So all in all I wanted to express my thoughts and I thank you for all your support.M. Bečić, Slovenia, 17 April 2013
iStyles5/Brilliant! verygood service,wish the deliverys arrive sooner,so i can buy more items from you ,many thanks.m. sphikas, United Kingdom, 16 April 2013
iStyles5/The product was exactly how it looked online came in a timely manor and was very easy to install I purchased 3 skins! in satisfiedL. Cooper, United States, 8 March 2013
iStyles5/I can't believe I paid $25 for a piece of contact paper. What a major rip-off. It is literally a piece of contact paper, nothing more. I was so shocked when I saw it. I kept going through the envelope to see if something was missing. Don't buy this product.D. Tompkins, United States, 28 February 2013
As for the company, I have no complaints. The delivery was prompt and I did not call to complain because I am assuming they are not responsible for what the product is.iStyles responded:
We are glad that you liked the service but we are sorry to hear that you were not happy with the product, Skins are adhesive based products as described on the product pages, for example, for the product you purchased. Of course, much more goes into the creation of a Skin and more information is available on the product page (high quality cast vinyl, UV resistant ink, special weaved adhesive, high-resolution prints, protective laminate)
Skins can be used with other cases (eg, underneath a translucent silicone case or clear crystal case) if you require the extra protection of these cases but our customers generally prefer using Skins on their own as. Skins are good for low profile protection without adding any bulk (eg, scratch protection for the scratchable MacBook unibody) and they can style devices in ways that no case can achieve.
If you have not used the product yet and you do not wish to keep it, you can return it for a refund. Just drop us an email at [email protected] and we'll set it up for you.
iStyles5/Excellent serivce, quick delivery, but not what I had expected. It lloks good on my computer, but I had expected the skill to go all the way to the edge of the computer top, and the decal astops short. Still, its worth the price.A. Vasishth, United States, 20 February 2013
iStyles5/We love our skins and keep coming back to get them for friends!K. Blackmon, United States, 5 February 2013
We started with one order and we loved the skin so much, we keep coming back. My son got the composition skin for his Macbook Air. He uses his computer at school everyday and he didn't want to stand out. Now you don't even notice the computer sitting on his desk! In addition to the great products, the outstanding customer service dept. has quickly responded to my emails. I had problems entering the coupon code and they resolved the issue in under 24hrs.! I would highly recommend iStyles.
iStyles5/Love my Macbook skin!! This product is so fun. Super easy to apply and super cute! Great quality and fast delivery! No complaints, I would highly recommend your company and your product!B. McConkey, United States, 27 January 2013
iStyles5/The ordering was simple and easy (once you manage to choose from the thousands of different styles). The fitting of the ordered products was perfect for the the two MacBook Airs, but not perfect for my HTC One X.B. Alverborg, Sweden, 4 January 2013
I can recommend spraying a fine mist of water on large surfaces before applying the skins. That way it is easy to adjust it right after the application. When it is perfect, just use a soft cloth to work out all the air pockets and water, starting from the center and working towards the edges. After everything is smooth, leave the product alone for some hours before using it. Works like a charm!
iStyles5/This skin is great quality! It looks just like it did on the website and it was super easy to apply! Highly recommend this!!!M. Villalobos, United States, 22 December 2012
iStyles5/I received my order and was absolutely thrilled. Some items were gifts for my sister and now we are ready to order again. We love it. Great Value for money and prompt delivery to Australia. Truly Fantastic and great quality and looks better than on the net. RoseR. Kilpatrick, Australia, 3 November 2012
iStyles5/Like how it came when the website said it would. I wish it was a little bit easier to put on.E. Ferrucci, United States, 25 September 2012
iStyles5/The skin was very beautiful and I am very satisfied with my purchase. While I paid over 50 dollars for the skin, it was a quality product. However, the skin does not cover the edges of the MacBook and hence it is more for aesthetic purposes than protection. If i ever need a skin for my phone, I will buy from them again.h. lau, Singapore, 12 September 2012
iStyles5/I needed a way to make my laptop easily noticeable in case one of my students got sticky fingers. So I looked for a specific design and found it here. They are decently priced and arrived in 4 business days! It was actually pretty easy to apply and adds a unique touch to my MacBook. I really love it!T. Schaab, United States, 8 September 2012
iStyles5/I love Istyles. The sticker i got for my laptop not only protects it but makes it look very stylish.S. Horrocks, United States, 20 August 2012
iStyles5/Im greatly satisfied with the overall quality of the product as well as the service, Though i can point out that the shipping cost more than double the price of the product might be much yet i ordered from Japan so i guess its fine.H. Eldridge, Japan, 8 July 2012
Good job guys.
iStyles5/absolutely fantasmogorical skins!Y. Essack, South Africa, 29 May 2012
a great alternative to any of the bulky options you find on the shelves to protect your devices!
slim...thin....sleek...protective...and gorgeous!!!!!
A must for every device :)
iStyles5/I said I would buy a skin for my MacBook Pro 13' Unibody and I did. The colors were incredibly brilliant. I only wish that I could have done a more decent job of applying the cover to the outside shell-I got little pockets of air stuck underneath and when I went to readjust it, it only stretched out the skin some. On the other hand, the inner skin for the keypad worked just fine. The sizing was off my centimeters and I managed to apply it so that not all of the microphone and power button were covered up. Otherwise, I only wish they could make a skin for the back shell as well!S. Pham, United States, 22 May 2012
iStyles5/Website wasn't very user friendly for finding designs but I knew which design I wanted anyway. Ordering was easy enough and shipping was fast. Very happy with quality of skin. Would not order from iStyles again in future though as I just found out you guys sell real leather products. Not cool, guys, methods of obtaining leather are very cruel. There are other retailers out there that do faux leather and faux fur effect designs.K. OO, Australia, 17 May 2012
iStyles5/I purchased a Macbook skin that looks like a composition notebook. It is really cute and I love to disguise things so this fits my style perfectly. I arrived sooner than I thought it would so that is a give plus for iStyles shipping. Nice Work!!!L. McCauley, United States, 23 March 2012
iStyles5/I love my iStyles...Nook, iPhone and Mac computer! It's fun, personal and unique! Thank you for the many many designs you offer as well!B. Bach, United States, 4 March 2012
iStyles5/I have used iStyles twice to purchase skins for my Macbook. I used the first one for two years and only switch up because I needed a ne design. The skins are durable and theres a really wide selection. Skins are also reasonably priced for how long the last and the are easy to remove and do not leave gunky stuff behind.J.
