I just put a bestskinsever clear skin on my MBP yesterday.
Previously, I've always had plastic Macs, so I never thought to put a cover on one. But now I have an MBP, and due to a combination of not liking the feel of metal, and wanting to protect the anodizing from scratches and etc., I started looking for a case.
When I was in the Apple Store at the Genius bar with my previous Macbook, I had seen a customer notebook with a Speck See-Thru on it. I thought it looked kind of "fun" and neat in a shiny plastic way. So that was my first thought. But, they add a pound to a 13" MBP, and enough thickness that it would seem as thick as my old notebook. Still, I ordered one.
But then I started seeing posts about "skins." I had never wanted one with artwork or designs on it, but I had not realized there were clear ones. I did some checking and narrowed it down to Wrapsol, BodyGuardz, and bestskinsever. They all sounded good, but here was my process of elimination:
Wrapsol: Reported to be thick and durable, also matte finish to look most like original aluminum. Covers Apple logo. Does not cover sides at all. Can't remember about palm rest as I planned to use a Moshi.
BodyGuardz: Seemed thick and durable, shiny with no orange peel, covers sides, but does not cover Apple logo (has a cutout there). Not sure about palm rest.
bestskinsever: Durable but not as thick by some reports (I have not found actual mils to compare the various skins), shiny with minimal orange peel, covers sides albeit with split on front edge, covers Apple logo completely. Covers palm rest and trackpad in three pieces.
Although none of them seemed "perfect," I went with the bestskinsever because I like shiny, I wanted the sides/corners covered, and I did not want a cutout with "edges" around the Apple logo. As a bonus, it was the least expensive (you make your own soapy water solution). I had no need for customer service so I can't speak to that, but it was painless to order and showed up within a week via USPS ($2 shipping).
I was a little bit nervous to be playing with soapy water on my nice new MBP, but it all went fine. What I did was start with the bottom, and I removed it from the computer. So there was no water danger and I could get a feel for how it went on a less-obvious surface. It went surprisingly easy. But, like cooking a stir-fry, I had everything lined up and ready beforehand.
Next I did the top, and I had plastic over the keyboard, plus a thin cloth, and I put blue tape over the port holes. Probably overkill, but better safe than sorry. Last I did the sides, protecting the nearby ports with blue tape as I worked.
I didn't apply the palm rest or track pad pieces, as I'm trying a Moshi palm guard instead. But I have saved them in case I do want to try them.
So far it looks pretty nice to me (and improving by the hour, as they say it will). And it feels great. I have to keep running my hands over it

But then I really liked my shiny plastic Macs (although shiny, plastic feeling aluminum looks really pretty to me). Now I'm just trying to wait the 24 hours before using it again (Hello good-old G3 iBook

).
So now I'm glad I didn't add a pound of weight and thickness to the MBP, but of course I have not lived with the skin so it's only a first impression.

PS: AlphaDogg posted a nice review of the bestskinsever on this forum, with photos. I've also found pretty good photos of the Wrapsol and BodyGuardz.... can't remember if it was here or on youtube. The Wrapsol looks almost like a naked MBP... or at least much closer to it than the other skins, because it is less shiny. If that is the look you want.
PPS: To the previous poster who had the e-mail exchange with Wrapsol. How infuriating! The way that last e-mail ended with "Have a great day!" was almost like they were mocking you (on top of the previous communiques which led up to why you were not pleased). What are people thinking when they treat a customer that way?
