I think this is a great idea. Unfortunately, several of the images have alignment issues and other problems. One of the mockups thumbnails covers up the user's thumbs with the screen, for example: http://smartmockups.imgix.net/47_bg.jpg?fit=crop&w=360&h=270...

Also, have you thought about doing some basic colour balancing on the uploaded images to match the environment in the image, or overlaying some subtle alpha-channel reflections? (Both of which would greatly increase the realism)

Seems that on the actual page for that mockup, the thumbs display correctly: http://smartmockups.com/mockup/47
Well, the thumb is actually bent but you're right it looks like that from the small thumbnail :)
No, it's a problem with the thumbnail. Compare with the full size one, which is correct: http://smartmockups.com/mockup/47
