Thumbs down Sprint TP2 BestSkinsEver - Fail

So I bought the Best Skins Ever full body skin for the Sprint Touch Pro 2. Here's my rundown.

The material is pretty good. Not overly 'sticky' for finger or stylus, but feels like it will protect quite well.

The price was excellent. Even with no sale or coupon, it was $9.99 delivered to my door. Shipping was fast by USPS First Class.

Here's the fail. It fits like s**t.

The piece for the battery door is shaped well, but has big 'notches' cut out of the corners so that it will fold around the edges. These notches are cut way too big, and so the skin doesn't cover about 1/4 of an inch of the radius of the edge - the exact place where you can pretty much bet your TP2 will land if you drop it.

The piece for the screen itself is about 1mm too narrow and about 2mm to short. I know those seem like tiny little numbers, but believe me, it looks like crap with a gap around the screen, and you can bet this area will fill with 'stuff' and eventually cause the skin to peel.

The 4 pieces that go around the screen are by far the worst of them all. They are designed to sit on the angled area around the screen and fold slightly down over the side. They are, however, cut so that only about 1-2mm of the material actually folds over the edge - trying to get 1mm worth of material to 'stick' enough to hold the bend = nearly impossible. I got mine on perfectly, and within 10 minutes of 'use', i had already peeled up two sides.

Cost = $9.99
Value = $0.01

I will be requesting a refund. BestSkinsEver should be ashamed to sell a product this bad. For any price, it simply doesn't work.
