That looks like some cheap product off Ebay. I ordered one last week but still haven't got a shipping confirmation. I'm going to call tomorrow and see if I can cancel it.

Many of us have already installed it if you read the other threads...it is junk even installed.
I received my Ultra today and it looks terrible. i do not have my iPhone yet but I doubt it ill get here before the return policy expires. This will force me to send the Ultra back.
I'm going to try the SGB. Maybe the white backing or carbon finer with a crystal front.

From what I have read yes but I have no idea when my phone will be in. It could be 46 days at this rate.
Mine came today and my photos look almost exactly as OP's. I have been told that the liner scratches easy but once peeled apart it looks perfect. I installed mine and not great but told wrapsol I will give it two days before final decision. My packaging was shoved inside with sides stuck to rear film.
Mgmt must be morons. All this hype and they ruin it. Guy who packed these should be fired.
They have very good customer service and are very responsive. I think we should just give it a chance like suggested and then make up our minds. Sometimes things immediately don't look great and they stand behind their product.
I agree. I guess I just expected more from a $30 product. I ordered a set of BSE, but will definitely keep an eye on Wrapsol in the future.
Does the BSE skin have a hole for front facing camera? I can't see it from its prototype image.
Anyway, Wrapsol is just junk. I really want to peel it off right now if I have a replacement.

I'm glad that Wrapsol appears to be standing by their product, and impressed that they are responding here to what has certainly been some negative feedback over the past few days.
I also understand that the scratches may be on the backing only. However, I've used many brands of skins over the past 8 years or so (dating back to Brandos on the Treo 300) and have never seen a product arrive in this condition. I also think it's a bit unprofessional (and quite frankly a bit gross) to ship a product covered with someone's fingerprint marks.
There has also been no response from Wrapsol to the condition of the side skins. As the photo clearly shows, these skins have uneven, warped lines. I can't imagine putting something so amateur looking on such a beautiful device.
It certainly seems like this product was rushed out. That's a shame because from what others have said, prior Wrapsol products have been great.

Mine liked like the OP's. I installed it anyway and after letting it sit overnight it is 100% clear. Almost all if the marks are on the backing not the skin and even the ones that are in the skin seem to 'air out' after a day. Also it comes with a lifetime warrenty. Just email them and they will send you a new one. There is a warpsol rep posting in the other forum and he or she is being extremely helpful and taking care of everyones questions and handling shipping out new ones to people who goofed the install.
Bubbles seeme to be gone over night, but still there are lots of marks and scratch. Looks not clean. Hmmm.
I'm so disappointed with these pics! My wrapsol is due to arrive on Friday, I guess I won't even bother opening it. It's going back. It looks awful. 
Should've gone with my gut and bought SGP instead of listening to people here.

Why would you send it back without even opening up the box? They do give you a satisfaction guarantee for 45 days you know. I am expecting mine tomorrow, and figure even if the film looks like it might be all messed up, I am going to apply it and try it out to see what occurs.
What a lot of people don't realize is that the film that is used here is very similar to the film that is used for clear bras on cars. This film is "self-healing" in many ways. Scratches, dent, dings etc... will heal themselves for the most part with some time.
Some people who left the film on without ripping it off right away are reporting this stating the film looked terrible initially, but after leaving it on overnight, cleared up totally or significantly. So I am at least willing to give it a try.

You spent $30 on the product. Take advantage of the return/refund policy. Put it on and see what happens.
This does not look promising at all. My Wrapsol (Ultimate for iPhone 4) is due to arrive today and this is my first time buying this brand. I'll post about how it looks on arrival and after installation.
