EDIT: Just double-checked, it wasn't the iSkin Solo FX that I had purchased, it was this one:

First post here, and it's going to be my review on this. XD

I bought one today (iSkin Duet set, so it came with the clear one), quickly brought it home and tried it on.

First things first, it did not match up. Not in the least bit. The top right and bottom left (diagonal) had much more "flap protection" than their counterparts. The silver bevel was partially exposed in the top left corner, and the buttons didn't match up at all. I did manage to get all the buttons lined up, the holes lined up, etc... but when it was lined up, it looked like this:

So yeah, it seems to have not been cut out correctly at all. The "inserted" fit wasn't nearly correct, it took major "massaging" to get the buttons lined up, and yet the bevel in the bottom right was exposed.

Needless to say I brought it back, even tried on another one and it still did the same. I really wanted that case, it was clear and they're hard to get in stores.

In the end, if you're not picky about your skin (unlike me), this skin is great. But it's more-than-likely not going to line up properly (in my experience), and something that protects a $700 investment definitely should.
