Ta for the review. Just got my Milky Way skin for my 350... Similar results to you ... overall a B+... does not fit perfectly but does cover 98% surfacewise... So I would say it works for the most part.
Would like to reapply mine...but not sure if it is safe to do so after having put my skin on several days ago....

The good:
- Clean, bubble-less install -- as advertised. simply the easiest and neatest installs I've had with a skin. Kudos!
- Nice job on the layout. There's enough art on the margins to get the mood of the skin.
- The print is good and the Matte knocks down on the cheesy skin look (not to mention glare!). Definitely worth it.
- Was able to use the button cut-outs on the buttons. Not the intended purpose and had to cut the gaps myself, but they work and the buttons now blend in instead of blind.
The not so good:
- the wallpaper wasn't available. Contacted support and, while polite, they were mostly unhelpful. The best they could do was say it wasn't going to happen and sent me the Nook color's wallpaper in it's place. Might have helped if it had been cut from the same part of the graphic, but it wasn't. I was able to pester him into sending the request up the chain, but I'm not holding my breath.
The bad:
- while the finish was good, the fit was poor. the cutout for the buttons was precise, but the screen had a thin rim of silver all the way around. Also, the skin doesn't quite make it to the corners or to the bends on the edge. the graphic is vibrant enough to draw the eye away (the silver disappears into the white plastic rib at a distance) but it's still there.
The result:
My primary goal of hiding the silvery glare has been met well with an attractive skin. I'm a little miffed they didn't make a wallpaper to go with it. The total package is aesthetically pleasing, but it could be better.
Overall, I'd give it a B+.
