Will do  I will have to borrow my sons camera , mine is only 3.1 megapixel .
I did have to make a seam on the front corners because I could not get it to sit right without doing so .
 

 I figured I couldn't screw it up too bad so I sat on my living room floor the other night and watched "Expedition Great White" on Nat Geo  and went to town :D

 I  think I still have your address ,  I'll send ya hunk of the skin if ya want to give it a try.
