    I bought a skin from fixedstar for my R60e. There was not any R60e skins, but I emailed them asking if they had for the R60e. They mailed back saying they'd make me one and they did. It fit perfectly. Perhaps, you should ask?

    The downside is the way it was mailed, wrapped around a piece of cardboard, caused it to get messed up.

    They're not real leather or even real fake leather, but they're decent enough for the price.

    so the one you got is the same one from that link except for the R60e? If so, what do you think of it? How is the material and how much of a pain in the neck was it to put on?

    I've posted about this in another thread but I'm trying to get a refund from that eBay seller; he's being fraudulent. He said he would give me a full refund but that has not happened yet. Have to follow up yet again.

    EDIT: Just to be clear. Mine was 100% plastic. Zero leather. Fitted well but looked and felt awful; especially the sharp, thin edges.

    The skin fits perfectly, but warped a bit due to the way it was mailed. They wanted an extra $10 to mail a new one, but I could get an answer from them as to whether they'd ship the same way. If they sent it the same way, there was a good chance of the same thing happening. So I didn't pay. I suppose I could have disputed it, but was busy at the time and it wasn't worth $20 to me. The skin only takes a few minutes to put on.
