Hello, just wanted to pass on the warning after waiting nearly a month for it to come from hong kong I got my case from http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350271123135&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT despite the auction saying all over it Tilt2 its for a Touch Pro 2 and the front cover will not fit and latch over the bezel on the AT&T Tilt 2. So be careful whom you buy from!
I have bought 2 of those cases from different sellers and both front cover do not fit correctly.
I dont see any negative feedback left for the seller....

I dont instantly leave negative feedback, I am waiting to see how he handles it, if he ships a model that fits or refunds my money he will get a neutral, if not then yes I will give a negative. So far there hasnt been a response that I have seen. They may not even be aware of the stupid decisions being made making the same model phone with different front bezels increasing the difficulty for the end user getting usable accessories.
They have finally contacted me back promising a refund. As soon as I get it I will leave them feedback.
same thing here, same case, different seller, doesn't quite fit...my seller gave no response when I asked him if he had a case that properly fit.

I had to email mine a couple times. HTC is the one to blame here for kowtowing to AT&T and making a physically different form factor.
Actually, I would blame verizon, they are the ones who contacted HTC to physically modify and create their own TP2
I am curious if anyone else, with a ViewSonic G Tablet and the Skinomi Skin Protector, received a skin that does not seem to match the layout of the tablet, both front and back. I ordered the skin that protects the front and back and what I received just does not seem to line up with anything.
The front has only one hole and an odd 1 inch x .5 inch rectangle in it. The hole does not match up to my camera aperture or my light sensor aperture. The rectangle makes absolutely no sense.
The back is the most messed up skin I have seen. I know the skins come in a few different pieces that fit together like a puzzle but the back has two main parts to it and those main parts do not fit together because they seem to go on two different hemispheres of whatever they think this skin should fit on. Then the four rubber plug holes that are in each corner do not match up to the skin holes. They are not even close. That is the best I can describe the back. It has to be the wrong skin is my conclusion.
Overall this skin is smaller both width and length wise. The picture that is shown in the product page is definitely not what I received. If the actual product is suppose to be different there was no disclaimer stating that the picture shown was just for example purposes and not a reflection of the actual product.
If anyone can give me some feedback on their own experiences I would greatly appreciate it. I sent Skinomi an e-mail about this but I explicitly explained to them that I would not be paying for return shipping and that they WILL be sending the correct product through a 2-day shipping scheme. That is if it was the wrong product that was sent to me. If it is in fact the right product then I am definitely getting my entire purchase price back.
I have been through the situation where the wrong product was shipped before and the problem was remedied but it is a big time sink and nuisance to the customer. If only you could charge companies, that screw up like this, for the time and effort you have put forth. It might actually prompt them to make sure they get it right the first time.
U can check another thread here about screen protector from skinomi. A lot of feedback there. Some ppl also complain about wrong measures... maybe they are having some system issues and geting wrong orders... i dont know. I ordered just a front cover and its perfect... camera and left hole are present...
It even improved my viewing angles with no sensivity lost

Hey heres my thread on the Protector you purchased.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=904814 Go ahead and post your issue there. It seems the last few days a few people recieved the wrong order. I have multiple full screen protectors I ordered from them and they fit perfectly. I am not sure why they are messing up now. One user reported they only got the protector for the screen and not the bezel. very strange and we have sent emails and exchanged phone calls with the company. I would not pay for return shipping either. Defiantly not your fault and Please keep us up to date on how they resolve this with you.
I just receive my shipment on Friday and have the same problem; they definately shipped the wrong skin to me. I should charge them for my time to deal with this...

+1, they should cover return + replace with correct item.
There email support isn't that prompt but they eventually reply, and when I was complaining about the lack of updates about the order status, when they eventually replied back they did offered immediate replacement. I did receive my skin on that day though, so I emailed back and told them it wont be necessary for them to send replacement.
Best of luck,
Mine was fine. Early order. This is too bad for them as they really got a great boost here. I hope they make it right and regain their position as the only one out there with a custom screen and a reasonable price.
I recieved mine with two holes for the camera and the sensor. everything fits perpectly
yes.. guess they are having no idea of the free publicity we are giving them here...
else they would make an effort to serve better
I am updating the status of this thread. I called Skinomi today and, after calling their customer service line 6 or 7 times, I got through to someone, instead of the voice mail they really wanted me to use.
I explained the situation and the female that helped me was pleasant and told me that she would ship out the correct skin right away. I explained that I needed it by Friday since I am moving on Saturday and the snail mail they send it in normally would not have made it to me in time. She told me that they are not able to ship it any faster than their normal free shipping option, unless I choose it when I purchased it. I politely told her that she was incorrect and that of course they could send it through 2-day shipping. She began to stumble over her words and then told me she would talk to her manager.
So the manager, Alex, got on the phone and he asked that I take a picture of the skin I received so that they can see what skin is being shipped by accident. After explaining the skin to him he figured out that the skin I received was the Archos tablet skin. He then told me that they would ship out the correct skin within an hour or two and that I could count on getting it within 1-2 days. I thanked him very much and that concluded the conversation. The test will be in 2 days whether or not I get the skin or not. I have dealt with a few companies before that tell me they will ship it as 2-day and then never do. I hope Skinomi is better than that.
I will keep you all updated.
youve given me the idea to call them tomorrow. I think their shipping sucks..I ordered last week from them..wednesday..on friday i ordered some stickers from androidstickers to go with the skin..guess which came first??!!! yeah androidstickers beat them and skinomi had a two day head start..both are on the west coast..Ridiculous..They gave me a tracking number that still shows no movement!!
Done with skinomi, thats just unacceptable
Updating: It is the 2nd day of the 1-2 days that Alex from Skinomi told me it would take for my correct skin to get to me and I received nothing. It seems that this Alex guy from Skinomi was blowing smoke up my arse. I am sad for this because I will never recommend Skinomi to anyone, regardless of how nice the skin is when it finally gets to me. I have been using my Tablet sparingly for fear that I might scratch up the screen before I get the skin on it. Now I only hope that I get the skin before I move on Saturday. It is going to be even more of a let-down if I have to wait for the shipment to be redirected to my new house, 220 miles away.
So let this thread be a warning to anyone contemplating purchasing a Skinomi product. You might order the correct item but there is no guarantee you will get the correct one and then you will be forced to wait even longer for the correct item to be reshipped to you, and that is if you can make it through to someone on the phone. Otherwise you will have to wait for their ridiculously slow response time via e-mail.
I will update this thread when I do finally receive my correct item but anyone following this thread might be waiting a few extra days for that to happen.
I ordered mine on 1/19/2011 and received it on the 24th. I fit very well. The holes for the camera and light sensor were right on.
It sounds like a "crap-shoot" with them. I do not think I have been this unhappy with a company's customer service in a long while.
You're not alone...they gave me false promises too..been waiting since the 18th for my order and nothing but bunk tracking numbers is what they give me
A quick update, even though I have not received my "correct" order.
I called Skinomi since I did not receive my order yet in order to see if they really did send it 2nd day mail, like Alex from Skinomi claimed he would send it. Guess what? They did not. George, the manager that talked to me, said it was through the normal USPS priority mail, the same as my first order that took 5 days to get to me. I asked George why they did not send it 2nd day like I was told they would and he informed me that they cannot do that. I then asked him why they could not.
They are within the US so they should have access to UPS or FedEx delivery. What baffles me the most is that this George guy told me he would refund my order total completely ($24.95). So they can send out a replacement order and then when they screw that up they can refund my order but they cannot pay the money to send the replacement order through 2nd or even 3-day mail? Then as this guy was ending the call he says to me, before I can retort, that in the future if I need the item in 2-days that I should choose the 2nd day shipping when I make the purchase. If he would not have hung up I would have cussed him out. I would not have to worry about the shipment getting to me on-time if they would have sent the correct item in the first place. The 2nd day mail request came when I realized that I would not get the replacement in-time for my move downstate.
This company has their priorities ass-backwards. I plead with anyone that plans on getting a skin from this company to please stay away from them.
It is unfortnate that an employee must have mispoken and promised 2nd day or overnight service. The reality is, next day service would cost them more than the $15 that they recieved for the goods. Shipping costs eat the majority of profit on these small items these days if they have to be shipped any other way than 3 day priority mail / flat rate box etc. UPS and Fed Ex are going to run close to $20 for minimum overnight shipment. I have a small mail order business and not including the $7 drop ship fee I pay the vendor (I can not afford to stock the items) the cheapest UPS shipping on a one pound box anywhere even close to the source is a minimum of $9 and as much as $12. I only charge $10 shipping which means that I pay close to $18 shipping on an item that I pay $30, sell (have to be competative) for $59 plus $10 shipping. So bottom line is I make about $21 gross before advertising and web site fees. If someone wants to return something and I then have to ship a replacement, that eats up shipping again both ways and everyone loses money!
That all having been said, they need to speed up their shipping. It sounds like they are vending out this product and just re-selling them when they get the order and may not even stock them. Why else would it take so long? That means that most of their cost is in the shipping tube and postage! Not much margin on $15.00 gross sales price.
This is through Skinomi themselves. I recognize that shipping it a decent cost but that should simply be a motivator for getting the order right the first time. What it really comes down to is that they shipped the wrong item, not just to me but many others, and they must eat the cost that is associated with their mess-up.
I own my own computer repair business and if I make a mistake while building a computer I do not charge the customer the price for a second hard drive or CPU (whatever the damage item might be). I also do not charge them for the extra time it took me to reinstall the new component. I eat the cost. I might even give them a discount for their time and lost productivity depending on the situation. By them deciding to only ship the replacement through the same snail-mail shipping, they are, in a way, disregarding my time spent waiting for this item. In my case I am moving on Saturday and my case is unique in that I will have to wait even longer if the shipment does not come before I move because the order will have to be redirected to my new house, 200ish miles away.
I ordered mines a few days ago and it came today. It fits almost perfect.

So I am sure no one really cares anymore but I did want to just update this thread real fast but first of all I must implore anyone in the US to not use the free shipping option that Skinomi offers on their website because it is through the United States Postal Service and they are part of the reason why I STILL do not have my replacement/correct order yet.
I just received an e-mail from Skinomi saying that they received my return order and that they cannot process my refund since it has been over 30 days from when my order was placed. My jaw literally dropped when I read this. I have been waiting at my new address since the 31st of January for my order that, due to Skinomi lying and telling me the order would be 2nd day shipped to me, I did not receive my replacement order in time before I moved on the 29th. So I have been waiting patiently for my package to show up from USPS via the forwarding that I set up through the USPS. So over half a month later I get that e-mail saying that they received the return order from me...
So if I am understanding this correctly the USPS screwed up and did not forward this package to me at my new address but sent it back to the sender. I truly hope this is not the case because I am already seeing red and I cannot fathom how a company like Skinomi and the USPS continue to exist if this type of crap happens. It all started with Skinomi sending me the wrong skin in the first place and then sending the replacement through snail mail instead of the 2nd day like they told me they would on the phone so that it would make it to me before I moved. Then the postal service and their just god-awful service.
If I have anything to say about Skinomi it is STAY THE FRICK AWAY! They are just terrible. Yeah, one person had a bad experience does not speak for the whole company. I have read about a lot of bad experiences that other people have had with Skinomi.
Please do not recommend Skinomi, XDA Developers, if you are. You are doing the community a disservice by doing so.
Well I live in the US and I received my screen protector from Skinomi in 3 days. The screen protector works beautifully for me. I personally would not hesitate to order another screen protector from them since everything worked great and they shipped quickly. I had never heard of this company before purchase other than the responses in this thread and I am really happy with the product. Just because you had a bad experience does not mean that this happens with all orders. This is just my experience and opinion.
Thanks
ordered this case off of amazon tonight was only 15$ shipping included. i know the leather is good quality already because my dad has the same for his xoom and it has the magnetic things in the case so it closes like my sisters ipad case, (android dominated family i know)

Just thought I'd bump this thread for two things:
-- Apparently, since yesterday, the price on these has gone down to 9.99.
I should be upset upon realizing that just last week, I paid 14.98 for this, but for the second reason I alluded to earlier:
-- Up to August 26th, 2011, AYL has a promotion where you can get a FULL REFUND of your purchase price.
My package that arrived yesterday, came with a letter stating that if you give them a 5-star review and link them back through an email address they give for proof, as well as your order number, they'll give you a full refund (not including the shipping of $4.99). I followed the instructions on the letter.
I can attest to this myself that this is a real deal, since I got an official email from Amazon that they're processing a refund of this item as we speak.
Here's the link to the product: http://www.amazon.com/Quality-Leath...iewpoints=1&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending
You probably don't have to wonder why it has 5-star reviews across the board. My review is under the exact same username I'm using here.
FYI: It seems to actually really be a good product. I'm no leather expert, but it seems like genuine leather enough, and build quality is pretty good.

Now that you have it, what is your actual thoughts of the product? I was going to get one because of the 5 stars but since finding this out Im really interesting in finding a real review. I purchased case off of Amazon and im returning it because of the quality.
What do you think of the case? How do the wholes fit (the one I had didnt line up too well), how well does it function as a stand? (mine constantly tipped over). Any feedback is appreciated.

I like it. Although it doesn't have adjustable viewing angles, the main angle is good, at least for me. Also, if you allow your screen to rotate, you can use it in reverse for a very low angle...as long as the app you are using also rotates with the screen.
The leather, as I mentioned earlier, seems decent, and it has a nice suede interior lining.
All the holes line up perfectly for both the FFC and the light sensor, as well as for the camera in the back. On the sides, all of the buttons and ports are fully accessible, and it looks like they took care to not block the speaker grilles without compromising structural integrity. It also doesn't exude "cheap" in any sense. The stamped leather is all class, IMO.
All in all, well worth the previous 14.98 price, even with 4.99 shipping, and even more so at the 9.99 price. Not sure about the "59.99" price their product page is quoting as its original price though.
EDIT: Although I don't have a dock yet, it seems that the dock might work well with it, since I don't see anything that can keep you from plugging in the dock while the TF is in this folio. Also, one of the things I like is that I can actually use the charger at the bottom while it's being used as a stand.

Lol I included shipping for total cost but yeah this is a great case
shipping time for me has exceeded 8 days (5 business days) and it looks like usps won't be delivering it until tomorrow at the earliest. I'm used to waiting this long for stuff from china but going from CA to WA this is ridiculous. I guess I get what I pay for...
Weird. I ordered it last Saturday, and I received it this past Wednesday. I'm in Arizona.

Well, if it's a full refund... time to try it out! I wanna see if it works well with the dock.
Doesn't look like its availible in the UK
I am not selling, I am giving away and just asking to be compensated for the shipping.
So I've got the Tuff-Luv Brown Hemp case for my TF201 and Keyboard Dock. The only problem is, I don't have the TF201 anymore. I traded up to the TF700 Thanks to Best Buys amazing policies with returns and exchanges due to defects.

If you still have yours though, I have a very lightly used case, just like the one linked above. I've got to say that if you don't mind the extra bulk, it's a really nice case. I wound up leaving it at home 99% of the time for the month that I was using it because of the extra bulk. I'm willing to help out someone who wants the case, and am only looking for enough to cover shipping and handling (unless you want to toss in a couple of bucks to be nice). I.e., enough to pack and ship it. It's negotiable, and if you live in NY, maybe we can even avoid needing anything.
Shoot me a message on this if you want, I check XDA so frequently it's an addiction.
Again...

I don't know what forum to post this in, but since I got the S8 Plus and spend most of my time here I decided to post the question here.
Anyway, I was thinking about opening up a small retail shop or kiosk that sells stuff such as phone cases (not cheap china crap malls, ebay carry) chargers, tablet cases etc. and I was wondering if anyone knew who good distributors are and how much the minimal orders from them have to be.
I emailed a few of the case manufacturers directly such as Spigen and a couple others but they wouldn't give me any info except canned reply to fill out the dealer form. I want to know to see how much it cost and if the business idea is feasible or not.
I know many stores buy their stuff from distributors that carry the same brands such as Otterbox, Speck instead of being a direct dealer from the manufacturer so I was wondering if contacting them might be a better help.
