people looking to order a 360 case for their tab, you can find a couple of good ones on ebay !! So why not try there ... Its better than getting burned by Pyroskins ...

Yep, this is a scam. I ordered, then received a shipping email, then nothing.

Contacted USPS and they have not received anything on the shipping number.

PyroSkins won't respond to emails or phone calls.

I have escalated my issue with Paypal.

allthough people are giving warnings about pyroskins, I would also like to give a warning about this case:

I bought this case on ebay, and now I have newton rings.

7 months of using the pyroskins clip case = no issues.

1 week of using the 360 case = newton rings.

And since I bought the tab refurbished from a dealer in the UK, I do not have any warranty... ****.

I might try calling Samsung later today to get this fixed.

I've been using the 360 case from pyroskin for 6 months now on my Verizon tablet, no such issue. Could be a quality control issue though during casting of the plastic as i have two of them and they both fit a little differently, one is more snug than the other. Service from them back in January was excellent, not sure what happened.

I have since removed the tab from the 360 case and put it back in the clip case. The issue seems to slowly get better. The newton rings have now disappeared and only rarely appear when I take the tab out of my bag. But they disappear on their own after a few seconds without me having to push on the back of the device. Yesterday, when I first noticed the rings, I was able to "control" them. I found out where/how to hold the device to make them disappear and where to push to make them re-appear. The later now no longer works, they appear shortly but disappear on their own.

I assume that the case I got (while not technically broken), seems to be a little bit too tight for the tab. Might be a rare situation, though as a lot of other people don't have any issues with it.

anyways, back to my clip case. phew :)

So, I thought I should give a quick status update: After not using the 360 case for 4 days (allthough I should clarify, I did not get the case from pyroskins, but from ebay. The case looks the same so I assume both come from the same source manufacturer) the newton rings are gone for good. I can not get them to re-appear at all.

Nope, I havent been able to contact them ... I have escalated this with Paypal .. Suggest that you do the same.
Btw, I got my 360 case from eBay. So far it looks like a good case. I hope I don't experience the Newton ring problem that another user reported.

I have escalated with paypal as well and have also filed a complaint with the local police department for fraud, as the address listed is a home in Chino I believe.
