For the most part, I like the new skin. It made my phone easier to find and softer to hold. I don't have to worry about dropping the phone and losing the battery. The down side I've found is that the phone won't completely close without increased force. This makes it prone to a half-open state that makes answering a little more complicated. Except for this minor inconvenience, I like the skin, and I'm leaving it on my phone.
