Hi, I actually got a Song of the Sky skin (matte, special order for the 950) for my Sony, and I'm quite happy with it. I too wasn't happy about the the silver aluminum, especially it would reflect glare when close to a light.
So I ordered the skin from Decalgirl, and I must say, it was trickier to put on that I expected, and I definitely recommend that you have another set of hands to help you do it. After a couple of tries, I got the skin on, and at first, I was a bit disappointed that the skin doesn't go all the way to the reading screen (you're going to have a tiny bit of silver left framing the screen, and the chrome won't be covered, either). But after using it for a while, I've grown to really like it. There's no more glare, I love the black and blue color combo MUCH more than the previous all silver. Also, the skin itself looks very cool and well-made. So overall, I don't regret buying my skin at all.
