Is it really that hard? A polaroid doesn't seem like it would be. Black, White, Drop Shadow, Bevel&Emboss(maybe), very small amount of noise, lighting effects..pretty basic stuff. My advice for you is to make the white and black part of the polaroid on seperate layers and keep messing with each layer until you get a realistic effect. Good Luck

To make it look real it will need first a little texture, and also shadowing.

When all else fails try adding just a tad bit of noise, that always adds a little realism.
