(More customer reviews)iSkin has had a good reputation in producing form-fitting cases without adding much bulk. They had a good run with the iSkin Solo with various translucent and solid colours. Then they moved on the the iSkin Solo FX which had glossy translucent candy-themed colours. It was too much for teenagers and females which obviously is their main market.
I wrote to them a few months back asking for a translucent black and white coloured iSkin Solo and someone from iSkin Toronto, Ontario replied with:

"We currently do not have any new updates or news with regards to releasing new colors or designs for the iSkin solo line.
We shall however, take your comments and suggestions into consideration and hopefully we can release new designs and colors more to your liking in the near future.
Thank you for your kind understanding and patience regarding this matter."

I may not be the only one who gave them product suggestions, but I'm glad to know that they do listen. The third iSkin iPhone case is the iSkin Solo FX SE which carries on the tacky mirror screen protector, but incorporates a translucent black case in matte finish. No more eye-catching glossy colours. Now we have a more grown-up iPhone case.
It's not as loud as the previous iSkin Solo cases. Putting on the black matte case against the black iPhone and white matte against the white iPhone gives is a nice feel without the look at my tacky iPhone attention-grabbing case. But it's unmistakably an iSkin with it's circle pattern at the back.
CONS:
- I still wish they produce a translucent black without the circle or whatever pattern they come up with so even grown ups can give their case a second look.
- Why a mirror screen protector? How about a matte screen cover similar to the Power Support product to complement the matte backing.
OVERALL:
Expensive price, but a good alternative in protecting your iPhone investment especially if you locked yourself into a 2-year or 3-year contract just to upgrade to the 3GS.
