A beautiful, natural device skin that needs better product descriptions
345483
I'm very happy here, but the owners of this company need to rework their product descriptions. Poor reviews here are largely related to the reused, generic product descriptions for these beautiful wood skins being misinterpreted. It's easy to see how some customers might think the described products are actual covers or cases for mobile and electronic devices.

It seems impossible to get an actual hard case for the Galaxy Tab 3 10.1, So I settled for this one. This ugly texture rubber skin with a frame.

What makes this different from other silicone/rubber skins is it has a frame that snaps onto the front and over the sides, with a loop in back that goes around the rear facing camera, that holds the skin in place.

It does cover the SD card slot. The skin comes off easy enough access the card though. You can use up to a 64GB card in the Tab 3, so that may help fro less frequent removals of the skin. There is access to all other features, including the IR Blaster.

An issue I had was when I powered on the unit from a full shut down, it would go into its boot mode every time. It occurred to me that a volume button was being held down all the time (you can confirm this by pressing the button and feeling for a click). I contacted the manufacture and they told me to do what my first  thoughts were, shave a small amount off the bumps in the skin that contact the volume buttons. I shaved off a small amount, maybe a 64th of an inch (the thickness of a thumb nail???) and it turns on fine and the volume buttons work fine.

I would have given this three stars because I don't really like it (don't care for silicone/rubber skins), but it is more than okay. At least a person does not have to see much of the ugly chevron tire tread pattern on the back.

By the way, you can buy directly from the manufacture (ships from California) right here on Amazon.

I've been using Skinomi products to protect my iDevices for years.  Yes, applying Skinomi skins takes patience, but the durability and longevity of protection is worth it.  The biggest complaints from people come from having not watched the video and/or read the instructions. I did both of these things with my first one years ago, and have known to expect a 15 min application process ever since. Totally no big deal.

My disappointment with the iPad Air 2 skin, however, is regarding the cutouts for the front screen protection. What I typically love about Skinomi, is that once applied, their product in no way interferes with the aesthetic of the device. The skin for the iPad Air 2 is a departure. There are 3 cutouts on the front protector.  First, the thumbprint area is left open at the bottom (instead of it being a cut-out circle, it is a U shaped cutout that extends to the bottom of the protector. Additionally, and more irritatingly, are TWO additional cutouts at the top left and right of the screen protector. These cutouts, in addition to what seems to be slightly shorter than normal screen protection, has left me disappointed and frustrated. In the past, Skinomi has shipped out (unsolicited) improved skins for recently-released devices.  That's more than most companies would do.  What shipped with this, however, feels like a "quick, let's get SOMETHING to market" solution.

(btw, the back/side skin was of the quality I'd expect -- I DO recommend the back protection)

I've been using a NuFace Mini device now for seven months and really like it, so I was happy to be able to be able to try out their serums.  For years, I've been using Paula's Choice products (a Vitamin C serum and an antioxidant serum), and I think that I like these NuFace products just as much, although using all three is a bit of a pain and the price is too high for such small bottles.

With this set, you apply all three products in a specific order, finishing off with the Lifter serum.  The instructions call for using 5-6 drops of each, but I've found that I can use less and still get good coverage on my face and neck.

Since there isn't much information that comes in the package or here on the Amazon website, I did a bit of research about each formula and its ingredients:

*  NOURISHER (Step 1) -- contains alpine rose, apple, and grape stem cells; this is supposed to help with sun damage, hyperpigmentation, or dehydrated skin

*  INGREDIENTS IN NOURISHER:  Water, Glycerin, Malus Domestica Fruit Cell Culture (Apple Stem Cell), Xanthan Gum, Lecithin, Algae Extract, Artemisia Vulgaris Extract, Vitis Vinifera Fruit Cell Extract (Grape Stem Cells), Isomalt, Sodium Benzoate, Rhododendron Ferrugineum Leaf Cell Culture Extract (Alpine Rose Stem Cells), Lactic Acid, Phenoxyethanol , Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Hexylene Glycol, Allantoin, Disodium EDTA, Pichia/Resveratrol Ferment Extract.

*  SMOOTHER (Step 2) -- this one contains peptides, which are proven wrinkle-smoothers

*  INGREDIENTS IN SMOOTHER:  Water, Glycerin, Polyglyceryl Methacrylate, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Butylene Glycol, Carbomer, Polysorbate 20, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 (Matrixyl), Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (Argireline), Hydrolyzed Rice Bran Protein , Glycine Soja (Soybean) Protein , Oxido Reductases (Regu-age), Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone , Steareth-20, Dipeptide-2, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 (Eyeliss), Algae Extract, Artemisia Vulgaris Extract, Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate (Syn-Ake), Xanthan Gum, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol , Ethylhexylglycerin, Hexylene Glycol, Allantoin, Disodium EDTA, Pichia/Resveratrol Ferment Extract.

*  LIFTER Vitamin C & Hyaluronic Acid Serum -- this one stings a bit on my sensitive skin when I first apply it, but doesn't cause any redness or irritation; it contains Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) 14%, Sodium Hyaluronic 5%, and Glycolic Acid 1%; these ingredients are supposed to help with skin tone and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, acne scarring, and hyperpigmentation

*  INGREDIENTS IN LIFTER:  Water, Ascorbic Acid, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sorbitol, PEG-8/ SMDI Copolymer, Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract, Dimethicone, Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans, Glycolic Acid, Polysorbate 20, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Hexylene Glycol, Zinc Sulfate, Sodium Hydroxide, Xanthan Gum, Pyridoxine Dipalmitate, Disodium EDTA, Ergothioneine, Allantoin.

Cons:

*  These should come in opaque bottles to keep the potency of the serums intact longer.

*  The price is really high for all three, especially since it has such small bottles.  I use much less than the bottles call for, but they still will only last a few months.

While I've seen smoother skin since I've started using these, I think I had comparable results with my Paula's Choice products, and will most likely go back to using those once I finish using the set since I can mix them together for quicker application and since the price works out to be a lot less. I've read individual product review on other websites, and the Smoother serum seems to be really well-liked, so I may just get that one and not all three.

I wrote a review of the NuFace Mini a few weeks ago (which I bought here on Amazon), and really do like that device, and, while the serums re nice, a better price point would make them more attractive.

I'm a bestskinsever fan but when I picked up the Hisense Sero 7 pro from walmart I was bummed to find bestskins did not offer anything for this tablet. After looking around at other skin makers I settled on Skinomi who have clearly made a name for themselves with quality application kits and lots of supported devices. When it arrived I applied it using the spray solution instead of the soap and bowl method. The spray might be fine with phones and small handhelds, but I think I should have used a bowl for this tablet sized skin. The spray introduced a lot of micro air bubbles and the skin looked pretty bad even after I squeegeed it. Thankfully after 48 hours all the bubbles have indeed vanished. Unfortunately now I can see my main problem, skinomi skins seem to be prone to a manufacturing defect where you can see streaks of distortion. It is subtle, but it is there. It is only on about %70 of the skin but clearly a symptom of whatever roller it came off of.  The streaks are perfectly in line with the skin orientation. I also noticed a small more pronounced "line" that acted prism like which I first thought I had scratched the glass some how before applying the skin. It was not until I found a second line just like it in the same exact direction elsewhere on the screen that I ruled it was part of the protector, not my device.

Not sure if I will try for a replacement, other owners who saw the same ended up seeing the same issues on their replacement. It isn't real noticeable and it is one of the only skins avail for this tablet, but it is not crystal clear like my other devices using bestskinsever are.

Protection wise it seems to be up to snuff. It does seem easier to "scratch" as I left marks with my fingernail with no problem, but it is a self healing skin so it disappears within an hour. The cut out of the skin wasn't super perfect, I did my best in making sure no sides of the skin hung outside of the glass area (this would give dirt a chance to get under the edge of the skin and cause it to start peeling off) but clearly using the camera as a pivot point, the skin was tight at the top and edges while exposed at the bottom. I did not opt for a skin for the back.

Edit: After a while I decided to get a replacement for it. I applied it today and things look hopeful. I used the bowl of soapy water method instead of their spray bottle and found that I had almost no air trapped underneath, instead there are a fair amount of pockets of water. The pockets will dry up in about 4 days time though. The replacement skin does not appear to have any of the large streaks, but does contain about 3-4 of the mm length vertical lines (it looks kind of like a scratch). The lines are easy enough to ignore where as having half the screen all sparkly was not. Also the replacement seems to be a better cut than the last one. The last one did not have parallel edges when making sure it was pivoting on the camera lens hole. In the end, guest service was great for getting me out a replacement, but neither skin was flawless so I will be trying another brand on my next device.

I have enjoyed using Skinomi products before, I think it's a great product and it works well to protect your devices. The texture on the skin is great and the print is nearly flawless.

The problem with this skin is three-fold:
1) This does not "work" for T-Mobile phones because it has a hole in the skin for a video microphone that the AT&T model has that ours does not. Skinomi could have included the small punch so we could patch the hole, but they did not. So I have a bright white circle for no reason on the back of the device.

2) The back skin is not quite big enough. It has to be at least 1mm bigger in both directions in order to reach all the way to the chrome strip around the phone. The hole-cuts around the IR blaster, ambient microphone, headphones, speaker, mic and charger are too big and look bad when applied correctly.

3) The front plastic goes too close to the edges of the phone, making it impossible to use a case with this protector on. It also doesn't stick very well, so it peels up easily on wear areas like around the earpiece where adhesion is limited by the thin bezel on the phone.

I will be sending this back, if they'll allow it, or throwing it away if they don't. It eds up making my phone look chintzy instead of cool because of the shortcuts they took in fitment.

Before anyone blasts me on this rating, I know how to put these on. I have had several different covers for mt tablet, and have covered two of my other phones. This skin is not to the usual quality of other Skinomui skins and until they fix it I would advise you look elsewhere.

PRO: Stylish looking soft worn-look leather case; product comes in assorted colors. Built in clip for travel.

CON: Manufacturer tab located at insert area. Never occurred to me to checkout the stitching of product PRIOR to inserting my iPod with a non-scratched screen.

It looks sharp and has an exterior that is rugged and should travel well. Should one use this stylish looking product, they would be able to access it's headphone jack and hold button easily when the "flip is closed" which is most helpful. I was attracted to the product by the look-n-feel of the Microflip on the XtremeMac website, as well as the ability to have a rugged case for my well-travelled iPod!

Unfortunately, I ran into a major disappoint with the product when I had it in-hand. And, as a result of sliding my non-scratched iPod into the Microflip one time--I now have a scratched screen. There were no instructions telling me to pull their manufacturer label (with Made in China on reverse) away from the back of the case when I inserted by scratchless iPod. Needless to say--the resulting scratches caused by this product didn't please me. In an attempt to replace the thin sleeve that came with the iPod and an old PDA-screen cover on the screen of my iPod, I damaged it by using this product.

You can see the "goo" from the iPod sliding against the label on the case as it was inserted on both the wheel and the screen's clear plastic. Yes, the product has a soft touch on the screens side, yet the stitches and the manufacturer's label destroyed the pristine screen on an iPod that had been on six airline treks and played frequently while I was driving.

The problem I had, is that the back pieces of the skin did not even fit. It would just bunch up around the edges, making it really uncomfortable, and ugly. Another issue, was the screen protector. It would be a decent screen protector, if it actually fit... I'm sure someone reading this would suspect that I simply bought it for the wrong PlayStation Vita model. You'd be wrong. I own, and applied it to the latest 2000 "slim" model.
I don't know if the 3 non-fitting pieces were just MY problem, or if others experienced the same. I actually ended up throwing the 2 back edge pieces away, as they were already peeling back just after a week of light use.
Like I said, I like skinomi. I've bought from them before. But this one does not fit in important areas, specifically the curved edges, and screen.

I LOVE MY KINDLE TOUCH! I can't believe that AMAZON Kindle Touch allows their name on a product that requires glue. This screen's product description does NOT match item. I did NOT use this product for fear it would cancel my warranty in case there were problems with the touch-pad.  And, as if this matters.... we didn't get a spray bottle in our box like that 5-star person--- NOT earth-friendly Packaging -is 4Xs bigger than needs to be if instructions were put on a piece of paper INSIDE of the box. --an over-priced product!

Individually, these are all great products...if they are appropriate for your skin type and concern.  It's interesting that the entire PC line is geared toward individual skin type and concern yet the men's line is a one size fits all.  This kit is best suited for "normal-ish skin types with those having dry to very dry or very oily being left out.  Given that this kit contains a fairly potent 2% BHA, a synthetic sunscreen and a low dose retinol, the sensitive skin and redness prone should probably look to the regular ( or is the regular line now the "women's" line---sorry if I harp on the idiocy of marketing certain products for women and others for men) PC line for a ton of products that can address your particular skin type and concern.

But once I get past the marketing, I do love the shave cream and the face wash (it's the same as in the women's natural line--gasp, woman and men can use the same cleanser!) is great for my more dry winter months.  The "smooth and sooth" (also available in the women's Resist line under another name) is great for my t-zone but not so great for other parts of my sensitive face, at least on a regular basis.  I'd still have rather seen a great soothing after shave product without an exfoliator.  Shaving is traumatic enough to the skin already and many of us simply can't follow up immediately with an exfoliator.  Just about any of the toners in the "women's" PC line would be better after shave products---particularly the soothing gel-like toner in the PC natural line.

I do love the travel size shave cream for the gym.  If it were available alone, I'd purchase it all the time!

I really wanted to love it because it has a great deal of proven anti-aging ingredients in it for a great price. Unfortunately it also contains Steam Distilled Lime Extract as it's last ingredient. Lime Extract is highly irritating to anyone with sensitive skin. I can't use the lotion on my face without breaking out. I am able to use it on my neck and chest without a major reaction and it has made a difference. It's a light, very nice feeling lotion but I won't buy it again unless they discontinue the Lime Extract, which I believe is nothing more than a fragrance additive.

Nice skin but I had to do some trimming plus I think I my have accidentally misplaced the skins to go next to the touch pad. In my defense it was not illustrated anywhere on the package.

I love the skin portion, but I struggled more with the screen protector than other ones. I ended up simply using my own screen protector with the skin instead

The product is utilitarian and protects the product while giving users a better grip on their devices, but the product I received was not exactly as pictured: the front edges that appear in the photo are very narrow and thin, but the actual product has edges that protrude further into the screen area; it does not cover the screen, but are much wider that pictured, making the overlook a bit more chunky and plastic-like.

This product arrives in three separate plastic pouches that are grouped together with a rubber band. Included was a sheet of paper that indicated which nematode product was best suited for which pest.

A frustration of mine is that no where in the product description was it indicated that this was a sponge release (you soak the sponge in water, then apply the water) but it is emphasized that multiple releases are ideal. Granted, it's my own fault for inferring from the given information that this was a product that you could divide into multiple uses (such as the "dry" form of Dr. Pye's Scanmask Nematodes) but I think it is worth noting for those who are tackling a pest that may take multiple releases - this isn't the product for you. The packets are non resealable and the use by date is within two weeks (contrast that with Scanmask, which came with a two month use-by date).

However,  it should be mentioned that the seller (BugSales) shipped them very quickly (to my home, it was overnight) and an icepack was included to keep them fresh, that's  one redeeming part of this purchase.

The idea of this product is a good one, but it has some fallbacks.  After about 20 hours using this product (not straight of course) I had a few grievances with it. For one thing, I wish it would have come with 2 of every thumb stick enhancer (I realize it isn't called that but I cannot think of the proper name at the moment) but unfortunately it does not. In no way is this lack of two identical enhancers false advertising but it is simply a wish for future products.  As for the skin for the controller itself, it could be improved.  To me it feels as if it makes my hands sweat easier than usual. as for the texture, it is rather peculiar.  It is studded but one way or another I wouldn't recommend it over something that a more name brand would release.  If it was more of a rigid texture that was constantly weaving with itself, it would be fantastic. Also one thing to know if you are as OCD as I can be at times is that the back fixture will not lay flat without something like tape holding it down.  Aside from that generally I feel like this is a product that does its job, just in a very poor manor.

The case looks great however I did return it. My issue is that it should state on the product description on Amazon that the case has materials that may cause cancer, birth defects or reproductive harm. It is clearly listed on the box but I only found that out when I received the package. And regardless if it is a CYA disclaimer, a buyer should be able to make an informed decision with all the facts without having to buy the product, receive it and then find out.
