I agree, It doesn't even protect the sides all the way...
I wouldn't buy it

Kinda cool how they integrated the kick stand, but I agree its kinda a bad wrap around the phone.

It does cover more then the T-Mo Clear case w/kickstand though and for $9 i think i may just get it to try it out.
On a side note.... i stopped by the Verizon store today to see if the sweet Fascinate Kickstand case would fit on my Vibrant. It did fit almost perfect except the speaker was block and the camera was half blocked. I think im going to order this korean one and then if that doesnt work i may just buy the fascinate one and modifiy it to work with my vibrant. It really felt and looked awesome... just wish it was 100% perfect match

*My previous post got deleted by accident w/all the other 24 hr data during yesterday's maintenance*
I think that seller was selling 3 diff colors; black, white, and pink(?). I bought the black one 3 wks ago and recieved it about a wk ago. Initially, I thought that it was going to be shiny hard plastic case but to my pleasant surprise, it wasn't. The exterior is covered in a thin layer of hard rubber, covering the black hard shiny plastic underneath, while the inside of it is slightly padded. It looks a lot better in person than in pics.
Is the kickstand serving its purpose? Hell yea, it is...it makes watching movies on my dope SAMOLED screen that much more awesome The hard rubber makes for a good grip so it won't easily slip out of your palms like it sometimes would w/out it and it gives the phone an overall slick/cool (IMO) look. The only downside so far is that I'm getting some very small worn out spots where the hard rubber has rubbed off but it's not a big deal though.
Pics or it didn't happen, you say? Well, check 'em out !

Awesome TEE!!!!! That's exactly the response I was looking for! I went ahead and ordered mine last nite! Thanks so much! cant freakin wait!

No prob...it's a great investment. The seller also threw in a surprise gift--an extra clear jelly case!

just wanted to bump this thread and want to say i absolutely love this case. its slim and doesn't add any heft to the phone. i also like how the company added some soft padding on the inside of the case so our phones won't get scratched up on the battery case.
only problem is with the extra jelly case they provided; while looking and feeling nice, it's hard to press power button with it on.
at any rate, excellent case.

I purchased one about a week ago. I havent received it yet, but i can wait.

It looks good I just placed an order. thanks for posting pictures.

[REVIEW] GELASkins Vinyl Style And Protection

Well, Since my time around XDA I have always stated I DO NOT like cases. Even though I know I should use them for protection, I hate what they do to the phone. I like my phone NAKED, to me it is like making a sexy girl wear a armor suit.... While she is very protected, she is not half a fun to handle and not nearly as nice to look at. So.... I can across a possible solution to protect my phone from scratches and for it you have a 'custom" look. I thought I would post up for anybody who has been kicking around the idea of trying them out.
Ordering and Shipping::: I went to http://www.gelaskins.com/store/skins/phones/Motorola_Droid_X on Saturday and chose the H.R Giger (Always been a fan) after browsing through the tons of selections. Placed my order, and received a confirmation immediately stating that they will "produce" my skin and it will be shipped within 2-4 "business" days. I also received a link to download the wallpaper that goes with the skin.
Monday morning I received a UPS tracking confirmation confirming my order has shipped and 2 days later it was at my door. So, as for the production, and promptness I would have to give them a 10 easy.
Packaging/Quality::: Package was a simple plastic sleeve with the vinyl sheet containing the skins. One thing i did notice is that there were NO instructions or "tips" for installation. While I guess installation is self explanatory, some tips would have been nice ie: do stretch the skin. LOL
The quality of the skins are very nice, they seem to have a nice thickness to them, the color looks great, and while the adhesive holds tight... It is very forgiving while installing. Don't be afraid to get it right.
Installation::: This will be short.... I was hesitate at first but I can say, "it was not bad at all". I wiped my phone down with Pledge MultiSurface wipes (What I always use to clean it with" and taking my time I stuck them on. DONE. It was quite painless.
Overall::: Well, it is only my second day running them but so far I am pleased. I am not worried about putting down my phone, sliding around, or because of the tackyness not slipping out of my hand while banging out some emails and texts.
Hey, for the price of $14.95 and the look of the phone being able to change... IMO, you can't beat it!!.
Pics below.

Great review. Thanks!

how are the edges?? are they curling up at all?? im really considering getting this, just for the sheer awesomeness..

I have one of the gelaskins on my Droid X. The edges are fine and they never curl up. The skins are top notch and high quality. The only problem I have had was with the Droid X moto car dock. With the skin its a tighter fit and there was one corner, on the top left of the phone, that would sometimes catch and curl the skin back slightly when inserting the phone into the dock, but other than that the skin is very durable and wont curl up on you in the long run.

I haven't had any peeling yet. As you can see in the pics I have the Moto Extended Battery, and with my media dock and my car dock everything is holding on like it should.

Searching for YOU sponsored from me personally. don't see a lot of negative here nor did i see someone showing close pictures of the white one either. I fit it in my pocket and don't want to add any bulk to my phone so personally skins suit me! As well as a lot of others.
Someone could get a clear case if the wanted and it will fit right over...
My 2 Cents

I think that looks sweet. Thinking about ordering one

That's extreme! Seems very portal-esc
If I was any good at applying these things I'd be down.

What area are you from??

very nice and clean!
i bet the texture is awesome.

I love the way it looks, how long has it been on? I'd like to know how well they hold up, they're kind of pricey and I've heard complaints about the corners peeling up. Keep us up to date on how it holds up.

I covered my KLR650 motorcycle in carbon print vinyl like this. It withstood six months of gnarly weather, dust and offroad.
Before I finally peeled it off, my bike looked like it was totalled. However, the paint underneath was flawless.
You can get a good result if you are slow and methodical. if not, it won't look so great.

Hmm, I ordered a roll of this stuff from Ebay and got it in. Looks really slick and I covered a few things to practice. But I think I need a good pattern for the Thunderbolt. Anyone have anything? Even another skin and a scanner?
Would greatly appreciate it and be willing to send someone a big enough piece for a couple of these if we can get a pattern going.
I can even send people chunks to make skins if they are willing to cover a couple bucks in shipping.

Do you think it offers much protection other than from surface scratches? Say from falls to the floor or concrete? Doesn't from the pictures and manufacturer's description.

it's just a sticker so I highly doubt it does anything other than prevent some scratches.
Does look cool. How charred up does it look then its removed? That's always my worry with them

It removed no issues. I took it off so I can recut a new skin with better cleaner edges and there is no resides at all.
I bought a roll of black off Ebay, so I cut my own skin. I wish I had a good pattern.

Looks pretty cool in a something different kind of way, also storm-troopery. I personally wouldn't cover the kickstand, though.

thumbs up, i'm really liking this

[REVIEW] A Kin Leaves skin (CM edition)

Hello,
This topic originally was about asking others if they had any experience with this particular seller, but I took the risk and got one myself and decided to recycle the precious bytes of this topic. .
So, I was googling around for some cool accessories for my now almost 6 months old KF, it has been through some rough life, even ending up with its motherboard replaced due to blowing it up by connecting the audio out to car receivers speaker rca plugs (blue smoke, anyone?)
I ended up fancying this seller (http://kinleaves.com) because of the broad variety of types of skins they offer. First of all I wanted to buy the military matte skin but I somehow changed my mind towards this beauty - Rain
I wanted to put a CyanogenMod logo on it, so I contacted the company, they were kind enough to put the logo there for no extra customization tax, which was pretty neat on their part.
So, the thing costed me 15 Eur (or 22$ for those of you who are from US) with free shipping (that took just 4 days from order to mailbox) included.
The installation took me less than 5 minutes but I ran into some problems with setting the wallpaper, as all of us know that orignally KF is not supposed to be customisable as far as a wallpaper goes, so it is kind of weird that this company even supplies a wallpaper with a KF skin. So the problem was that the status bar of CM9 was making the wallpaper a bit ugly, so I had to resolve this by setting the saved image as a wallpaper with the help of "Wallpaper Wizardii" from play store.
Also, it is really important that you clean the device carefully as I left some big chunks of dust underneath the skin so it made some barely noticeable lumps on the back side.
Enough talking, here are some photos-
1. The package that I received in my mail and my KF

5. Application
6. Finished! IRL the screen and skin color difference can not be seen, so the wallpaper looks just stunning.
----
Verdict- great way to make your KF cooler without adding those bulky leather cases or things like that. Definitely will order more in future.

So I bought a skin from them today, I will write a review as soon as I get it.
Their support seems kind of friendly, they even gave me a discount code- I don't know if it will work for multiple times, but you could try the code "KINSK1N" to get 20% off.

Looks cool. I'm not sure if I'd trade my seidio case for a skin.
Can't wait to see a review!

I really want one now!

Looks awesome! I can't see myself going out without some sort of case. And my Seidio fits for me. I get great protection, allbeit makes it bulky, but it makes me happy the KF is protected.
But this looks just plain cool! I wish I had the galls to use my KF without a case. But I am a clutz. LOL

Looks fantastic, might have to put one on the shopping list if/when I don't use the case.

DIY Flip-case

If you buy a rear cover cradle type case it's pretty easy (maybe) to glue some covering and include a flap.
Here's mine (unfinished) done in leather:

This is a great idea, possibilities are endless.

Cool idea. Not good at working with leather.

How does the finish look like?

hand made cases is always good u just need time to finish it all . thats why people prefer buying one than making one :laugh:

thanks look cool but the time invested seems a bit much for finding something similar for $4. On the otherhand i am always up for DIY projects and i always thought of doing something similar to this for a case but adding a LED circuit of some sort into it. That case would def not be found anywhere else.

Time investment isn't a consideration for people intelligent enough to have thrown away their TV sets. <snicker> <snicker> Some folk prefer to spend such time doing hobby stuff like leather carving, RC model building, glass blowing, pottery, sewing, computer graphics, writing, reading, and so on and so forth.
Adding LED or LCD to a case might be fun. I can't imagine what I would hook them up to though. As indicator lights they would be redundant. Maybe as text scrollers they might be interesting. They sure would add a lot of bulk for sure! I can't really fathom any use for it. <shrug>
Such a thing like this doesn't have to be made from leather. I chose leather because I wanted to recap/learn about leather carving but gluing cuts from an old pair of Levis onto some hard plastic or cardboard for the front and onto a cheap-o back shell-case for the back could work. Furs too! I have a few faun skins (pelts) that I was thinking about using for my Galaxy Note. And also the covering doesn't need to incorporate a flip cover front part. Just the back would do. And in that case starting out with a white one and spray-painting or air-brushing could produce some interesting results! Using sculpey and sculpey-like products on a flat surface is easy and fun too!
Here's a progress update on mine. This is from about a week ago. The next step will be finishing the edges a bit and adding an inner surface which will be hard like a door and covered with padded microcloth.

Thanks guys!
NomNom, advice? As in "do not swallow!" or the likes? I dunno. Some phone manufacturer designs incorporate an antenna in the rear cover. So if the case you select replaces that cover, make sure it has the antenna connections.
FutureSteve, Now that's just plain weird!

Your artwork is amazing! Great job.

nice if i can only do this by myself. it would be great.

Nice
Great Job i was planning on asking my friend to make me one because she make shoes herself and also manage to make her own cellphone case
