Has anyone used these?

They're the only site I can find that allows you to make a custom decal, I want to make one with some of my favourite pictures all over it lol.

Just wondering if the decals actually cover the whole phone, leaving no visible black casing? And also is the tough anti scratch deal really as good as they say it is?

Thanks,
Steve.

Any pics mate?

The more expensive one for $19.99 is the one i'm looking at. It's the scratch resistant ultra tough thing and judging by the designer that one does cover the sides:

But when I meant does it cover the whole phone I meant in size wise, for example is it a perfect fit or is the front decal slightly too small or too big etc.

you should look on ebay. they sell 3 skins for like $10 more or less, and theyre pretty good. they dont really offer any real protection because theyre more like decals/vinyls but what i do(and apparently the seller too) is i put the skin on, then over that i put a clear case. looks really good
they fit well also. the only thing i think you might not like is the part that goes on the back, it covers the back well, but just doesnt cover the corners. these arent super high tech skins. basic. but! the quality of the picture/design on the skin is amazing

I have ordered mine, cost was $19.68 with 25% off coupon (am in the UK, selected the UPS shipping).

Once it arrives, I'll do a mini review and post a few coupons.

Does every part of the skin get colored or do parts remain transparent ?

For example if i make a simple logo will the skin be the logo on a colored background or the logo and the rest is clear ?
