Device: PRS700
I received my skin last night. The main reason I wanted one is because I did not like to use my 700 with a cover, I find it so much easier reading with the device "naked." My issue with that is that the metal is very "slippery" so i wanted some grip.
Now as you can see in the pics, the skins come with two layers covering it. You first peel the white back and then apply straight on the clean surface and peel back the piece that covers the front of the skin.
I was expecting something more professional like something from skins.com. The front piece and back piece is one solid unit each. My issue with that is that there is a gray ring around the screen of the 700 that ia a bit raised. On this area the skin is also raised
Also the skins don't fully cover the 700. MAJOR
The skins were also supposed to have the icons that appear above the buttons, but 1: they are white on a white background!! 2: they are slightly cut off (but you can't see this since its white on white!!!!!)

Positives:
I like the design ( duh! i picked it!)
I like the grip factor on it
Seems of good quality ... so far...

I will wait till skins.com make some for the 700 since they take their time and make you pieces for each aspect of a gadget if the gadget is raised and or abnormally shaped.
