    is it easy or do you have to be down to the last mm when cutting it?

    You have to be fairly accurate, but not down to the mm. Just get the corner with the chip right, and the rest doesn't really matter once it fits. Mine is very badly cut (I even cut through part of the chip!) as I was in a rush doing it, but I've never had a problem with it. The really sharp blades are not necessary, that's what I cut through the chip with, so I just got a rather blunt scissors and finished the job with that, just trimming until it fit in the tray.

    Bring it into a phone shop and they'll probably have cutters there and will do it for you.

    Unless they are going to do it for free, it's not worth it once you own a semi-decent pair of scissors.
