Just got my new overlay... somewhat disapointed
Just got my new overlay... somewhat disapointed Posted on: 25.02.2010 by Joannie Brague I know this is a very minor thing. But i really liked the feel of the old ver, it has a nice matte finish, the new one has a sheen to it as well as a texture which make it look a little cheesy in my honest opinion.Either way as long as it works then I guess that's all that really matters. Am I being a little too picky? | |

Although I'm not experiencing any warping (and pray that I don't) like some other users on here, the edges of the overlay are starting to leak glue and are getting all sticky.. in addition, some of the knob cutouts are not proper size (smaller than they should be) and as a result if I push the knob all the way down, it has a hard time turning as the overlay gets in the way, so I had to make sure that some of the knobs aren't on all the way down. Overall this new overlay just feels much less refined than the older one, which is very disappointing because I loved the craftsmanship of the old one |

| 01.03.2010 | The photos on this page are all shot with the new overlays. http://ranking s.myshopify.com/colle...ucts/vci-100se You can see that they are a deeper shade of black now too, which is really nice. Overall I believe the semi-gloss is a good compromise of look and performance. |
| Joannie Brague 25.02.2010 | Hmmm never thought about it hiding the oils in the fingers. Good call. I'll post some pictures up soon. |
| 25.02.2010 | We definitely want to get feedback from everyone on the new materials we are using. We chose a slightly more glossy finish that hides finger prints much better than the old ones. While I also prefer matte textures, the older matte style showed oil and fingerprints too easily IMO. |
| Aprizal Rustarmadi 25.02.2010 | yeah post some pics please.... i just ordered one. dang....didnt know the material had changed. this will be my 3rd overlay. i was quite happy with the quality, texture, and look of the first two.... |
