Silicone skin for flyer? - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

I bought a cheap silicone skin for my flyer (this one: http://www.amazon.com/HTC-FLYER-SILICONE-SKIN-CASE/dp/B0050FDQTC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325684321&sr=8-1)
It fits ok, but causes frequent shut downs. I think it's just a bit tight against the power button and holds it down till the flyer shuts off.
Anyone know of a skin that doesn't do that? Or should I just take a knife to this one and cut out around the power button?
I want just a skin rather than case - I'd like a better grip on the unit, plus hide the whiteness (just don't like the white/silver of the flyer) and still fit into my windshield mount in the car.

I just received a clear one from handheld items that I haven't installed yet. By the looks of it, the area over the power button is raised so it shouldn't cause the problem you are having. I'll test it out later and report back.

Thanks, I'd appreciate it.
The one I bought does have a raised bump over the power button, but doesn't seem to be enough.
I looked todya at the bestbuy hard cover for the flyer (the one that only covers the back, but it's hard). Looks nice, but the back is too slick. And it's stupid expensive, like $40 for a dumb piece of molded plastic. So I'm also considering some of the knockoffs of that too - the ones online all claim to have a rubberized back.

Oh, I have. But I've actually had 2 of them already and both did it (different sellers, but the same skin. One was this one, and one was a bigger pack w/ car mount and such). So now I'm looking for a replacement. My flyer was a refurb, and the bottom back cover (not the one that the sd slot is under) is loose, so that's another reason I want it covered. Don't want a full case though since it'll be spending most of the time in a car mount where a case would get in the way.

I just installed the one I got from HandHeldItems.com
There is plenty of clearance between the power button and the case. Maybe just a tad more than I prefer because you have to push it down pretty far to get it to trigger the switch.
The case fits good. All holes line up except the small hole on the bottom of the right side. I think that is a microphone. No big deal for me.
The back is textured and it feels good in the hand.
My only complaint is the 'color'. I'd go with a Black or Smoked on my next one. I'm not a fan of the clear.
