No that is just the glass of the screen showing through. I had the phone directly under a lamp so there was some glare on the iPhone.

cool thanks..... i really want it and was waiting for it for a long time but the pics make it look weird.. hope that it works for me

Yeah that's why I had it under a lamp, I was trying to make the thing show up as much as possible. It's hard taking pictures of this case, because it's all black and then so is the screen.

I didn't use the included antiglare/privacy film, I may try adding that on in a few days or so.

this is gettin old

I placed my order last Thursday at 2:34 central time, and it's just now moved to "ready to ship"? WTF? Just ship the damnz thing for god's sake.

I'm expecting this case ain't all that, and iSkin customer service blows.

Can an order still be canceled once the order is in "processing"?

I used PP, so not sure how that works. I had high hopes for this case but it sounds like from comments that it has issues. Oh well if it eventually ships I'll give it a shot but may just return it. I guess they give you 30 days to try it out. I keep looking for a nice leather case but most of the ones I have looked at so far don't seem to be that great.

I suspect that you can, but if not with iSkin, then your CC company could help I would think.

joesphvman...a shout out! You just saved me fifty bucks. I was on the fence about this case but was afraid of some of the very things you mentioned. You sound believable and I tend to side with you. No thanks iskin!
I'm glad I saved you some money, but I really wish I had great things to say about this case, as I've bought a bunch of iSkin products and overall have been very happy with them. After having it for a day now, I can say that as a "skin" it functions very well, and feels quite nice in the hand. I like the Mojave yellow trim on mine too. Trying to design a case that's not bulky, actually protects the phone, and allows access to all of the function, appears to be a real challenge.

I don't know what you people are talking about, but the case is great. It protects everything that needs to be protected and slips in and out of pockets very nicely.

Maybe you got defective VISORs, because mine fits nice and snuggly...which is a great protection feat. Not too sure I'll be using the screen protector...think I'll stick with the crystal one I bought from Apple.

Great case!

It doesn't look too bad, I already ordered it and I'm trying to decide if I want to cancel my order or not. Can you guys post some more pictures up please? It would be nice to see some different color ones too. It looks different because it doesn't look like it has the little pinpoint ridges in the surface in the previous pictures posted. Do you actually see those on the real thing?

If you look carefuly on the iSkin site, you'll see (mostly) subtle variations in the product as portrayed. I strongly suspect this is because we are actually looking at photorealistic 3D renders of the Revo, before ramped up production, before quality control. Afterall, based on user photographs, the real thing doesn't look quite the same now, does it?

C'mon - many of us are experienced Mac users and know better. Shame on iSkin for shipping a product that only bears a resemblance. We know they are capable of MUCH better. Such is the life of an early adopter, and kudos to the animators at iSkin.
