Recently got mine, the cover itself is really nice. . . nice quality picture and nicely laminated. The size was slightly off, but that's easily fixable?(at home) and I know Fifty will be fixing it for the future. The adhesive underneath is just some sort of good double sided tape right now but he's looking into changing it right now.
Keep in mind mine was a "review" and "prototype" cover.
I'd recommend purchasing from Fifty, quality and affordable.

Ayy, I don't know how to lead into reviews.Feel
I'd say a tablet cover is worth it for the feel alone. It feels really smooth and pleasant to slide my hand around on a laminated surface instead of on the normal tablet surface. Oftentimes my knuckle would hurt after playing for too long because of the way I hold my pen, but with the surface of a tablet cover, I don't have to worry about this anymore.
Also, while I hover normally, dragging is also a lot easier and lot more pleasant because there's less friction between the pen nib and the laminated surface.Look
Sadly, I was fairly disappointed with the image quality of the cover. The colors were faded and dull, which saddened me since the main appeal of my image was the vibrancy of the colors. Compare the original picture with a picture I took of my tablet cover (This may not be an accurate depiction of the exact quality, due to my phone, but the tablet image is noticeably lower quality than the original, trust me)
However, this is likely irrelevant now, because:I'd recommend you pursue the opinion of someone who has received a more recent model of cover.Fifty wrote:
Just a quick update here, I managed to secure a much better printer, and that means all new covers will be of a higher quality!Customer Service
Fifty seems like a nice enough person when I was talking to him, but I didn't receive any notifications when my cover was shipped! D:
pls no do again! Admittedly I expected it to have been shipped when I had no contact for almost a week, but it would have been nice to have been told that my item was on its way to me.
Assuming he sent it immediately after his last message he sent me, it took 6 days to ship to my house in Ireland.
That's all I could think to say for now. I'll add more to this if more comes to mind. Overall, I'd recommend a cover just for gameplay enhancements alone.

So, here's some sort of review. Gonna steal the three main categories from Mahogany.
Feel
The cover feels pretty damn good (like, extremely good). It's a smooth surface and moving my hand on top of it is no problem at all (basically what you'd expect from something laminated). Dragging my pen on it also feels much better, as has less friction than an uncovered tablet surface, but enough to be accurate. I dont drag while playing, so I cant really say anything about 5*+ drag movement.
(Also, for those that never had a cover before and wonder if the tablet still detects different pressure levels; Yes, it still detects these properly)
Anyway, my opinion is basically the same as Mahogany's. It's probably worth just for the feel. Not having to feel that weird uncovered surface is hnnnng.
Look
Well, here's where the review copy hit me, I guess.
The colours are somewhat washed out and the very bottom has a small white stripe on it (basically uncut leftovers from a bigger piece of printpaperthing). Not a big issue for me, as it's hardly noticable due to my picture being red/whiteish and since I dont care much about these things. I can see this being an issue for others though.
The quality besides the colours and the white stripe are pretty good though, the picture does look like the picture I sent in. No pixelderps or similar picture-ruining stuff.
Though, Fifty has already said that the quality has improved, so I guess the negatives wont be happening in the future anymore?
Customer Service
Basically what MahoganyFifty seems like a nice enough person when I was talking to him, but I didn't receive any notifications when my cover was shipped! D:In case youre from Germany and consider buying one; Ive contacted Fifty 12 days ago and it arrived today; USA -> Germany took 12 days. Zum Glück hat sich der Zoll nicht gemeldet \:D/
pls no do again! Admittedly I expected it to have been shipped when I had no contact for almost a week, but it would have been nice to have been told that my item was on its way to me.
Overall, Im pretty happy with this one. The colour and the cutting could be improved (might already be improved) but it feels really damn good to move/play on this. If only I didnt have a Carpal Tunnel Syndrome right now...
Would recommend, especially for the price.

Got my cover yesterday, guess i'll also steal the categories to keep it simple
Feel
As said before, it feels really good. I personally sweat alot when i play osu, which doesnt seem much of an issue with the surface, unlike the surface of the tablet where it got my hand kinda "stuck" on it often, with this surface i can easily keep sliding over it. Do note that the surface is MUCH smoother than a naked surface, so it might take a day to get used to, especially if you use a very small area size.
Look
I suppose this is the important part since the reviews above me mention that the color is washed out ect. I have to say that im very pleased with my cover, ive applied an image above, but unfortunately i had alot of trouble getting my camera to focus, so its not the best image quality. The colors however seem much richer in my cover than the 2 above, probably because my cover was done with his new printer. There are some white spots in the image if you hold a flash or some light near it, but normally you wont see them, so this doesnt bother me personally at all.
Customer Service
Pretty much the same as the 2 reviews above me, fifty is a nice person to talk to, and he'll help with whatever he can, however i was not notified when my cover was sent, but i assumed that it would be sent within 24 hours, which it did. My cover was sent tuesday and arrived on saturday. (5 days from US to the Netherlands) This is personally a big thing for me, as i didnt feel like i wanted to wait 2-3 weeks for my cover, and fify kept to his word and sent it out within 24 hours.
I can honestly say that for the price, a cover from fifty is more than double worth it. Feels so much better than the surface of a naked tablet.
