Hey Dennis
Very nice. I made up a file for the Decor wall covers so after I cut them and make sure that they will fit I will post the pictures of them. I want to make sure that the layout is correct. :lol:

Here are a couple of Garys girlz. Haven't found the right customer yet. Seems the wives aren't too thrilled with it.

Is the image just held on by the pressure applied from the switch plate..

That's right, Dennis.
The design allows the plate to be universal, for use with switch or outlet.

Another reason I chose that open style is to prevent problems like this, where the switch/outlet was installed poorly. Most of us could fix this easily, but never the customer we sell it to. :lol:

Those plastic covers are concave for a reason.

99% are like that. So when I see the original post where they cut out the switch opening I wonder if the entire thing sits off the wall slightly. Hard to tell from the pic.

I think most will sit away from the wall slightly, but it is very hard to tell if you give it a nice border. No one has complained yet from buying them from me, so I don't think it is a huge deal. I would just put in the website post, that if your hole and switch is real bad and uneven, they may not look the best, but to me any kind of metal art switchplate cover is better then plastic.

Any ideas on a cost/time effective way to radius the edges? Essentially, duplicate the standoff of the plastic covers?
