Just thought I'd post some info about how I've handled my screen protection....

I'm waiting for BestSkinsEver to release their Impression skin.  Another forum member & I have both been in contact with them.  According to them, as of right now we're about 4 weeks away from the release.  In the mean time, I didn't want to leave my screen unprotected.  I headed to Best Buy and bought the Invisible Shield universal protectors.  3 sheets to the pack.  I have two Impressions, so it worked out fine for me.  I've only covered the screen, not the body... so I'm being very careful with the body in the mean time.  The Impression has a tiny valley around the edge of the screen.  I applied the skin, let it set up for a few minutes then carefully used a razor blade to trim around the screen.

If you're wanting protection but don't want to pay a ridiculous price for the Invisible Shield full body skins, this is a something to consider.  I realize that the price difference in the end is not incredible, but I'm just one to refuse paying for a ripoff.

Wow!  I've never seen uniqueskins before, but they look pretty interesting!  A couple of questions for you since you already have this...

Is the body of the phone fully protected with a wrap-around skin?  Is it a nice fit with perfect cut-outs for all the buttons?

How's the screen protector?  Tough like BestSkinsEver or Invisible Shield?  They have that kinda soft-yet-tough feel that can't be scratched a bit.

Sorry to jump ahead without waiting for a reply from you, but I just got a reply from UniqueSkins tech support...

"Our skin for the Samsung Impression does not include a screen protector.  The skin will cover the front and back of the device, it does not wrap around the sides. 

The skin will offer some scratch protection.  Unique Skins are a custom way to cover your device and hide any existing scratches."

I got the screen protector separately on ebay for 3.50, would the full body protection cover the little metallic sides?

Does BestSkinsEver have an Impression skin? I did not see one, that is why I went with Invisible Shield.

Is BestSkinsEver better than Invisible Shield?

BSE will be making a skin for the Impression.  We're a few weeks away from their declared release.  I've had both BSE & Zagg Invisible Shield.  They are exactly alike, but the BSE runs about $8 while the ZIS runs about $24.

I ordered a couple sets of skins for my Impression from BestSkinsEver and got them (kinda) in about a week.  The problem is, they only sent me the skins for the front of the phone, not the sheets with the skins for the back.  So I emailed them about a week ago, and have yet to get a response so I'm kind of peeved.  Anyone know of a phone number or any other way I could get a hold of them?  I haven't applied the front ones yet (I will wait to do them all at the same time) but I like the feel of them.  Terrible customer service if you ask me though.

Ok well no regrets.  After a long wait they finally emailed me back, saying they sincerely apologize and would send the missing pieces asap.  I will have to wait and see if I like the skin enough to order from them again.

In case anybody wanted to know, I really like the look and feel of the skins, and the fact that my phone is now basically scratch-proof.  They were kind of difficult to apply, but not too bad.  Overall, I am very satisfied.  And it's not too expensive either.

They are not hard to remove.  They peel off pretty easily and don't leave any sticky residue or anything.  And application isn't too difficult.  The hardest part is the top back where it is very rounded.  It was kinda hard to get it to stick at first, but I just waited for 10 min until the adhesive set a little and it stick right on.  Around the buttons is easy beans.

I much prefer a skin.  I originally had a hard case and it made the phone very bulky.  Plus with a hard case you run the risk of separating the two parts of the phone trying to get it off (which is difficult to do, but it has happened).
