Pics of my new iPad 3 skin

Anyone know where ********** ships from? Just wondering how long shipping to the east coast might take. I chose the standard (cheapest) shipping option.

Apple freak! Thank you so much for the massive post! I think I'm going to go with the easy one. It's hard to notice the "crack" so I'm not worried about it. :)

Also, did you have to request the little lines over the speaker? I've noticed some do, and some don't have them. I like them though.

The first 3 are extreme fits and the last (mine is easy extreme)

Just installed my stickerb0y skin (easy extreme fit, black, matte). I wanted a solid look without losing too much of my style. The red apple complements the smart cover very well. If the apple sticker is any indication of the color of the red skin, I'm definitely glad I didn't choose to go that direction (as many have told me) since the reds do not match. One is darker than the other. This is actually the first time I've ordered a non "metal" skin but I think I prefer this skin's texture now instead of the metal skins. Installation is a breeze if you watch the video. If you look, I had issues (no fault of the product) in the corners which doesn't bother me at all. The smart cover still works and I don't sense that it has lost any of it's magnetic abilities for it to attach to the iPad.

And something completely unrelated. Had ordered one extra red apple sticker to finish off this look on MBP:

Has anyone had problems with corners popping up? I have had 3 different skins and all 3 suffer from this.

iCarbons = 3 Popped up after about a week. Did not touch the underside of all but 1 corner
Stickerb0y Extreme = 3 popped up after a few days. Thought it was from having to reapply the corners.
Stickerb0y Type 2 = 4 popped up after about a week. Did not touch the underside of any of the corner. After initial popup I reheated and stuck down since pressing did nothing and they popped up again.

I am likely gonna get a SwitchEasy CoverBuddy and rip this skin off.

Nope, not me. I've had my iPhone skin for at least 6 months now and it's still stuck there. And my iPad skin looks to be attached well. When I apply the skins, I always make sure that no part of the skin is not attach to anything. You may have everything lined up but there might be a 1mm part of the skin that will be hanging from the bottom. This definitely will make it pop. It will catch on something and pull it. I make sure the right amount of the aluminum is shown on either side and top/bottom.

A few pics of my **********.net Powder Coat Extreme Easy Fit. Looks great and installation was easier than I was expecting.

I got the brushed graphite in easy extreme fit. There is a reason why this is a difficult install. Everything has to be lined up perfectly. The slices for the corners, I feel, are a detriment if you are trying to reapply over and over to get the corners right and to hide the slice as best as possible. It made further ripping the skin a ton easier (which I did on two of the corners). Don't get me wrong, it looks great to the average eye, and the quality is very good, but I obsess over those minor imperfections.

The smart cover loses maybe about 10% of its grip on the ipad because of the skin, but that is to be expected. I think next time I will go with a less extreme fit and not have to deal with the corners, or making sure the sticker perfectly fits the volume rocker and the sleep/wake.

I think I would also obsess over the minor details. Is this not a project for a perfectionist?
 
this is my anthracite silver extreme fit
install was actually a lot easier than i was expecting and the corners are just about perfect
if you follow the angling trick with the backing paper to lay it on first time round you will get the main part of the skin spot on over all the cutouts in the first go

the trick to getting the corners right is just peeling it up and reheating till it lays on perfect, should take less than 5 attempts to lay it down perfectly

the pictures arent great, i used my iphone so the metallic colour seems to have washed out and its looking a lot lighter than it does in person

Got mine from sticker boy today and installed it earlier. Installation went fine first time and it was easy to fix the little creases on the corner with a hair dryer. The Apple logo lines up perfect as well.

Their customer service is awesome. I forgot to put in the details box of my order that I wanted the Apple logo skin so I didn't get one and I emailed them and offered to pay for one to be sent out but they said they would send one out complimentary :)

That looks great. It looks like it's time to place another order! I'm definitely getting this skin.
