    Istylez cases

    Has anyone used this site for their bold or any other blackberry? It might be called Istyles, I'm not surem anyways, its a site that sells custom cases, with patterns or designs, and they also give u a theme that matches the case. I was wondering about how the quality of the cases are, and if the themes that match are nice. So they have memory leaks? If anyone that has used this company before has any info, plz let me know.

    Are these the ones you are talking about at istyles.com? They give a free matching background download.

    I thought you were looking at cases, but these are skins. They don't seem ridiculously priced at $6.99 apiece, but I have never used them personally.

    I just got my skins last night, its a pretty interesting product to be honest. The skins a reusable and leave no residue on the phone. And to be honest, its not to difficult to apply. That's saying a lot coming from me because I seem to have some kind of deficiency when it comes to putting things like this on. Screen protectors and such. The only problem I have with these at all is the fact that piece that goes around your screen has really thin pieces that go on the left and right boarder of ur screen. While it seems to take a lot to rip them, it doesn't take much to stretch them. So you have to be careful when pulling them of the paper it comes with.

    The wallpaper you can download for free matches up perfectly with the skin. It really does look pretty slick.

    Overall, I know many if not most like the way their Bold looks to begin with. Heck I do too. But it's still a neat product, and gives ur phone a very unique look. If this seems like your kind of thing I definitely recommend it. And to top it all off, the price of 6.99 is a steal.

    I will post some pictures when I get home, to show u guys what it looks like.

    Nice job on the skin application. Pretty cool how the wallpaper matches the design perfectly. Thanks for posting the pics. How does the skin feel to the hand?

    Thanks, im terrible at applying skins usually.

    Honestly, I dont even notice it on there. It takes some patience when it comes to applying the back, because it doesnt have the cuts that other skins have, such as invisi-shield to fit the curved corners of the back. So you have to take the time to smooth those out or the corners bunch alittle. But one applied correctly, you can barely notice its there by touching it. Its smooth like any other part of the phone. Im pretty happy with it. Im going to be testing how easy it is to be re use it in the near future. I bought to different designs, so once im tired of it looking this way, im gonna try another. But if its also easy to reuse, then i really cant find anything wrong with the product.

    Very cool SpReEfOrAlL!!!

    You keep saying you aren't good at putting skins on, but it looks like you did a great job.

    I bet none of you friends have one like it...
