Hi guys, are the black and white "leather" skins really made of leather?

I got the cube one, which nobody mentions here. It's this guy: http://www.sgpstore.com/product_info.php/cPath/23_36/products_id/1322

I thought it would be some sort of soft leather but it's actually just a very thin layer of vinyl or something. The look is fine, but it was just unexpected. Is it the same for the carbon, the pure black and pure white or are they all different?

Anyone has an answer for this?

It's not real leather it's like a vinyl but it gives a good gripmin ur hand. Ive got the white leather one and I'm thinking about ordering another one, maybe the carbon fiber one. I wonder if these are reusable. I'll post pics of my white leather once I get time
 
I would not say the install was cake. My wife tried to put this on her ipad and after a few minutes, of her getting frustrated, she asked me to put it on. Between her and my efforts plus rushing it into the apple case I would not even say this is close to being put-on right. That said, unless your right up on it you can't see the goofs. In the end my wife is very happy with it.

Thanks to those who chimed-in about this company. I would order from them again. Great quality and very fast shipping.

Anyway,here's a few tips I learned along the way:

-Make sure to use plenty of the spray.
-The skin stretches so you should be able to work it closer to the edges.
-Don't put it in a case as soon as your done, let it dry.

that looks cool. :)
 
Anyone with the SGP skins finding the Apple case to be a very tight fit? Maybe it's a tight fit without it? I put the skin on immediately upon receipt so I didn't try it in the case first. It's very hard to get in and out. I'm afraid I'm stretching it out a bit and if I ever go skinless, it will be too loose.
 
WOW! That is cool! I really wish I could just get the back part, as I don't want to fool around with the front piece. I've heard & seen enough negatives that I'll stick to an adhesive front. I really do like that back part though. N

Nicely done.

Thanks!
Honestly that is exactly how I felt about the front piece but now that it has been on for awhile I'm so glad it was included. It's very easy to clean and does not distort image quality. Oh, and it's nice to be worth free of scratches.
 
the install was cake, i just folder mine in half kind of, and aligned the middle around the apple logo to make sure it was as even as possible then went from the inside out,

Did you use any spray to position it or did you just slap er on. A little nervous about slipping up and the need to reposition.

Thanks

(update) about 20 minutes after I left this post mine came. You are right it is a piece of cake to install, however I got no logo cover so I am glad to hear that it isn't necessary.
 
just got the SGP skinguard (black leather-like) and install was fairly easy, you dont have to do anything except cleaning the back, aligning the logo and pushing to the edges (took me about 3 minutes), it fits and looks great except for the logo piece (which was smudgy even before i tried it on), it looks much better without it anyway ...
