Since the JasJar is big enough on it's own, a slim case option is much appreciated!

I wonder if this will cover the dents I managed to put in the cover of my JasJar???. Only one way to find out! 0X

Update: It looks like they'll be covered but only because juding from the screenshots on their webpage you would not be able to open up the device to use the keyboard without removing the skin. Anybody actually using one of these?

Is it just me, or are the cutouts in the skin not even lined up with the device? These are publicty shots, are they not?

I saw the same shots on Boxwave's website. They better fix the skins and the pictures, or people will undoubtedly have second thoughts on it!

That's what I was thinking, too. The cut out for the conferencing video camera on the bezel is way off. I thought it was just the one pic showing how the skin slides on, but if you look at the other pics, the cutout is off there too. The skin also seems too small for the HTC's screen. Not the best publicity shots!

I think these things would be good to have; the HTC is just too slick and I nearly drop it pulling it out of my pocket. I just wish they made some kind of built-in camera protection and perhaps a means to attach a lanyard.

Yeah I was going to pay up for it until I noticed the obvious misfitting of the skin. Sad...

I am really interested in this skin, I may send them a letter. I can't believe boxwave would put out something with such an obviously poor fit.

Those silicon skins can be slid around to get the correct alignment. The one I have for my SMT5600 used to have alignment issues, but now it lines up perfectly every time I put it on.

Looks like they are two skins that allow the screen to be opened and rotated.

I agree they should redo the photos and get the alignment better!!!

Hi Everyone,

It looks like the JASJAR FlexiSkin image on our website caused some confusion 8O

I want to reassure you that the FlexiSkin is a form-fitting case that is designed to work perfectly with your device. The culprit was the carboard cutout of the JASJAR that was used to fill in the FlexiSkin :lol:

Our graphics designer is preparing updated images and we'll have them on the website soon.

Thank you for your feedback, it's greatly appreciated!

Cheers, ;)

I just completed the purchase. With standard shipping I guess I'll be getting it next week. I'll post some pictures and impressions here when I do get it.

The flexiskin for the JasJar is a two piece design. One piece covers the keyboard while the other piece covers the lid/screen. The hinge with the phone buttons and the lcds remains naked. This could possibly be the world's first PPC bikini case.

One of the big questions has been cutout alingment. It's much better on the keyboard than the screen. Getting the proper alignment on the keyboard cutouts was very easy once the skin was on properly. The screens videocam cutout is the only one I'm having trouble with.It's not that the lens is coverd or anything it's just not spot on.

Answering my big question, YES! it covers up the dents I put in the lid.

For me this was $33 dollars well spent. I wonder if they'll ever have a discount for people who want all the colors?

I won't be able to post pics til tuesday.
