PRS-350 Fit and finnish on the PRS-350 Skins @DecalGirl - Page 2

Rip,

Nice job for eyeballing it!

you got very close and saved me a lot of work. Thanks!

I laid the grid over your graphic and used it see how far to nudge and scale. In the end I only had to scale up by 2% and most things only nudged a few pixels. When I had it right, turned off the grid layer and save.

Glad it worked out. It really wasn't difficult, I went off one of your images of your skinned reader for the placement.

Just received a matte black skin from DecalGirl. It has large areas of a mottled appearance.

That is, if I hold it at an angle so light reflects off of it, it looks almost as if something heavy rubbed across it. There is no damage like cuts or tears --- just Rorschach patterns where the matte is shiny instead of matte.

On the lower right 20%, this effect is wavy stripes.

If anyone else has the black matte skin, can you tell me if it was smooth matte all over or if it looked like mine?

I'm also disappointed in the printed icons above the buttons. They are so blurry you can't even read the word "OPTIONS".

Sounds odd. Maybe you can you post a picture?

It's hard to take good pic because the decal is black and you need the glare of a light to see the imperfections. It's much worse than you can see here, but you can get some idea from the upper left corner.

At first I thought the decal was handled by someone with greasy fingers, but it doesn't wipe off!

Phil_C have you contacted Decal Girl to ask them about it?

That's what I recommend too.

Phil_C · 09-09-2011, 06:22 PM

Yeah, I just had an online chat with DecalGirl and sent the pic. The support guy was very nice and is also checking on the icon printing issue. He stayed past closing time to help me.

He'll get back to me next week.

The CS person at DecalGirl emailed me today as promised.

They will be reprinting the matte black skins so the icons/text are readable, and will send me a replacement in a couple of days. Very friendly and efficient customer service.
