Got my order from DecalGirl over the weekend. Comes with cover skins as well as cut outs for around the keyboard and trackpad. Installation is a breeze and easy to reposition/remove if needed. Overall pleased with it. It is a vinyl type skin so not much texture, esp compared to the iPad DBrand carbon skin. Remember, code “STAYHOME” for 20% off.

That's very nice, have just ordered one. There's so much choice on that website though, I ended up going for something plain I can put stickers on if I choose.

I got my Xtremeskins leather today and fitted all the parts save one. Love the feel of it and I’m very impressed.

Imagine my dismay though when I came to fit the last piece, the one with the logo and camera holes only to find the logo had been cut out but not the hole for the camera.

I am waiting on a call/email back from the supplier.

Great service from the supplier, replacement being despatched tomorrow.

The skin feels superb, highly recommend this mod.

Has anyone seen a skin for the actual iPad Pro MK keyboard (like the ones with shortcuts that they sell for MacBooks etc.)?

Also, if I need to get a skin (just for the back of my iPad Pro itself) as QUICKLY as possible...what company/site that sells them for the iPad Pro 2020 ships them out the quickest?

Most of the skins mentioned in this thread are made for the MK. The most common vendors are Sopiguard, DBrand, and DecalGirl. Without knowing your location, it's hard to say which would be the fastest for you.

Late to the game. I had this Sopiguard skin for sometime. I do like it, except it does make it a bit slippery on my lap board. No it doesn’t move while I’m typing. But, if I don’t keep the lap board totally level as I pick it up, or place it down the iPad does slide. Anyone else finding this happening to them?

I’m almost tempted to put a couple of rubber like strips on the underside of the MK on top of the skin. Kind of defeats the improved looks. Any other ideas???

BTW, as you can see I did not skin the trackpad. If you’ve done it does it interfere with trackpad navigation?

Are there any skins that are noticeably textured? I like the one I got originally. But would rather buy something more substantial (from a texture standpoint) in the future.

For those interested, dbrand is now making a magic keyboard skin. Best I can tell though it’s only in their new pastel colors.

I noticed in June that dBrand were saying they were looking at different adhesive options as they were concerned about it damaging the surface of the keyboard - has there been any word on if they’ve changed anything?

I removed part of an Xtremeskin from mine and it took ages to clean the adhesive with rubbing alcohol.

There a reason why you removed it? I get these could damage but i can’t ever imagine selling it and I’m sure will work on future generations.
