A little tip if you get a white speck of dust on the back, just take a black Sharpie marker and dot the spot, you won't notice it's there anymore. Blends right in.
Who cares if this doesn't cover the bezel. Most skins don't cover the FULL bezel anyway not to mention bezel coverage usually collects dust and peels off over time anyway. I just rub my bezel with a scotch brite pad if it gets scratched, brushed aluminum looks better than the cheesy blingy chrome.
Got my kit today for 3GS and applied it. Went on pretty easy -- actually easier than I thought it would be. I think I used a little too much spray though. I was having to try and hold down all the edges for several minutes after I applied the film. Not a huge deal and it worked out fine. Just don't have this idea the edges will immediately stick down if you get them wet enough. You'll have to work at it some.
Packaging is A LOT nicer than it needs to be, but pretty. They know the people they are marketing to, that's for sure! Don't know how it'll be long term, but impressed so far.

I'm going to have to try this stuff, it sounds nice. I wonder if you could apply it to a BSE?
I have the BSE installed on my 3GS (the one that covers the bezel) and am pretty impressed how much it has held up going in and out of my pocket since day 1 (a couple of months now?). I installed a BSE on my 5G ipod several years ago and it has held up just fine, too. It's never discolored either, so I don't know what that's about.
The phone naked is pretty slippery, but with a BSE on it gives it a grippy feel, which I like. I don't like cases, I think they're too bulky, plus the phone is too cool and sleek to conceal.
I like the idea of a matte finish, but the Wrapsol doesn't completely cover the phone. With my BSE and a Crystal shield on the front, there is no added bulk and it's nearly completely covered. I wish the Wrapsol would protect the bezel.
Maybe I'll order one and see how it feels on top of a BSE. If it sucks, I won't be out much money anyway.

Or you could get one of these cases off ebay for a couple bucks and put your wrapsol over that. Then it's easily removable & reusable. That's what I'm planning on doing when I finally get one. 
Did you have any problems taking your Wrapsol film off? I've had mine on for a bit, and although I really like it, I'm thinking of going naked for a bit? When taking off the matte back, is there any residue left over?
Thanks.

That's a thought, I'm just not a fan of cases. I like the naked, slim look.
Just bought one and its excactly what Im looking for, BSE,Gadget Gaurdz,and BodyGaurdz all have issues with the corners coming up after a while. so well now its a waiting game for the fedex person. Considering its friday so it will probably be Wends or Thursday, shipping to Austin,Texas anybody know how many days it will take???
I got it here in two days from MA to FL. Maybe another day to TX?
I had just a little bit of hazy look (normal according to the directions) the first 12-18 hours and a couple of areas that looked like lint from cleaning the phone prior to application had remained (like very fine fibers), but 98% of that has totally disappeared now. It looks like the material has completely melted and bonded to the phone. I know it hasn't, but that's what it looks like!
I was happy the way it looked right after I applied it. Now I'm really happy!
Well i downloaded the FEDEX app thru the apple for my Iphone and yup its gonna be thursday.

just ordered one of these bad boys tonight, can't wait. I've been using a leather pouch but was holding off on getting a film for the back until I found a promo code for wrapsol. use "chatter" during checkout to get 25% off! what a great deal, it came to just under 19 bucks and free shipping.
To the people that have used this, does it help hide hairline scratches that are in the back? I would think that the cloudy matte finish would at least make them less visible. It was one reason I chose this over its competitors.

Ordered the Wrapsol package for my 3G yesterday morning. It arrived today.
And this is definitely the best accessory I've purchased for my iPhone. The back looks fantastic, and the matte appearance hides all of the surface scratches that I had, and some were fairly deep.
I'll definitely be sticking with these folks in the future.

i don't know what you've tried but rubbing alcohol usually can clean things very well, and it evaporates super quick so you run less of a risk of damaging anything. Though I can't say i've tried this on my phone, or wrapsol skin, I just got mine today!
I've had mine on the back of my phone for over a month now and it doesn't really get that dirty. Sometimes a little bit of dirt/dust gathers around the edge at the top, but it's nothing that a quick swipe of the finger nail doesn't take off. Maybe it's because mine is on a black phone though?
You can when you are first applying it, just keep re-wetting it. Once you have it down and it dries then it's done. But for the first install you can pull it up and have at it a few times.
