Looks great, a very eye catching cover, capturing the essence of the subject. I couldn't be happier with my purchase (quality and condition exactly as described in the listing) and the service provided. Well priced, suitably packaged and to have my item arrive five days outside the original E.T.A is to be commended considering the hit and miss nature of our postal system. Outstanding, absolutely top shelf, can't recommend highly enough. A well deserved Five star rating for a Five star vendor.

Excellent Quality. Brand New. Looks very Nice! Seller's price UNBEATABLE. I'd buy from this Seller again. Description spot on. Seller's communication XL+, very helpful & pleasant. Packaging XL+. I was afraid to open package. It's like opening a B'day present w/o the Gift wrap. Post cost's definitely XL+ being FREE. Excellent delivery time. Arrived earlier than predicted, considering our mail usually takes over 2wk 780km from the coast, bcoz we're remote. 10Q very much. XL+

Excellent seller. I inquired about the delivery time of my purchase as they said that it had been sent. The seller replied to me the next day and explained that it had to come from the UK. The item arrived the next day. The feedback from this seller was excellent, very impressed by them. Will definitely use them again, very professional company. The video was perfect quality and condition. Would recommend this company value for money and in excellent appearance.
