Are there any custom back cases for this phone? I'd kill for a white or black one with sick designs on it. The black and purple ones that come with the phone are kinda bland imo.

Yeah, yeah.. it's a start.. has a "battery" case design on it. I didn't look too close at it. I'm sure they'll start to come around sooner or later, haven't found anything about it but the cases with the custom designs on the back are the closest things to it. Not exactly what you're looking for but its a start.

lol yah, the reason for wanting the battery cover i think is to keep the slim factor of the phone.

most likely.. I prefer the gel case because it makes the buttons easier to press. I remembered when I first got the phone it almost slipped out of my hand when i was going for the power button because it wasn't anything i was familiar with. I started to live with it.
Hell, you could probably be the first to start making custom battery covers and become rich doing it

If i knew how i would but i dont think a huge die will fit in my house not to mention all the raw materials.
Yeah I'm talking about the battery covers. I would love a glossy white one with galaxy s text on it, or a shiny black with a metal finish to it.
Also where can I get some good belt cases for this phone at? I went to a T-Mobile store and was surprised that they don't have many accessories for this phone.

Try the white paint you just have to get two-three different types of sandpapers and then a white spraypaint/clear glossy . It is not as shinny as the OEM ones we have (where you can see your face in it) you just have to remember to lightly sand the device after the last paint application to keep a smooth non paint surface.
Now that you mention it... I just remembered, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755173&highlight=Carbon this thread theres one of the choices you have available as well. There's a I9000 backcover available in the accessories forum too
If the white cf could hold a longhorn orange decal/paint I'd hop on it in a second.

Hey guys...got the PhantomSkin Chromatic kit in the mail today and decided to install it this morning. The package was very impressive. Included was the Chromatic kit and 2 free screen savers. I was currently using the black OEM gel case with the dinky screen protector. I first put on the screen protector follwing the instructions given. The install was a breeze! Coming from a ZAGG shield, I was very impressed with this screen protector. The screen was clear with little to minimal orange peel! I then started with the Chromatic Install. The battery cover went on smooth. The next thing I did was the camera part. I noticed even though I was pressing down hard and hitting it with the dryer, the sides would pop up! The MT4G has alot of rounded corners so this really concerned me. I went ahead with the bottom part and the sides. Nothing was holding, I dont know if it was the weather or what...I started peeling it off to return the product but decided to look read up here alittle bit. Thanks to member "methodz" who installed this also, I found a new way to install it. I just put on piece by piece, but instead of using the dryer, he recommended a lighter!!! After hearing this, the install was cake..everything stuck on like a glove. I dont recommend this product unless you have the black version as there are many gaps! I love the CF look and it feels great, I am going to keep this setup and match it with the OEM holster till a Otterbox series comes out. Sorry for the big pics, but I wanted everyone to see the detail and the gaps. Hope this helps anybody who was thinking of installing this kit! On to the pics!!!

FYI: I aligned the battery cover after these pictures were taken.

Man that looks good.Also looks like a lot of work to get perfectly lined up and stuck down.How much was that?

the back of my phone looks like that, but i didn't use the side pieces, just the 3 main pieces on the back.
That looks really good, but I don't think I'd have the patience to line all those pieces up perfectly. What's it going to be like when/if you ever decide to remove them off the phone?
I checked out that site after getting my MT4G, and can't you choose what design you want for your phone? It didn't even show a picture of what it would look like after selecting the one for the MT4G.
Nice photos BTW!

It looks difficult but really easy. It was easy to align. The kit cost $29.99 but there is a 30% off coupon on their site. You get the Chromatic kit plus two free screen protectors for $20.96 shipped to your door!

Thanks! I used by DSLR and bounced the flash so you can get an idea of the CF pattern and tried to get as much detail as possible. The install was easy bro! Also I peeled off some of the stuff i slightly heated and it came off without residue!
Looks good, but it would concern me that the silver bezel is still exposed to possible scratching/damage in the event of a drop. Is there any way to protect that with a skinz type of system like this?
Also, you were able to peel off some without residue, but does anyone have experience trying to get this kind of thing off after a few months?

Just get close to the parts that arent sticking well and run it back and forth maybe like 3 timess to give it a little heat. Dont let the flame touch the CF. Get your thumb afterwards and stroke it into place LOL! GL on the install!
Geezz....I already messed up the screen shield.....DUNNO this instruction says soap, but id doesn't workout....
I see kinda wave-y pattern....is it normal?
Ain't for me this job...I'm pissed now
PS: redid it, look ok now, not perfect job though......Scared to apply the CF skin.
yes, this phone has a lot curve, Even Zagg was hard to put on the phone. but I manage to get zagg stick in to the phone now.
If it doesn't work, I can send it back for replacement. I hope you guy can send your Phantom skinz back too if you mess it up.

haha, i guess i'm daring... i stuck the skin on first and lit the actual CF areas. just don't light it for too long or you can damage something, just a split second or a few passes. you will find some of the skin doesn't stick too well if it is cold out so you will have to heat it. the instructions say use a blow dryer but i used a lighter instead.
I did it! And actually I am very impressed with my results on CF skin! Was easy and trick with the lighter worked fantastic! Very pleased! Looks and feels great!
Thank you guyz!
Looks nice! I would warn people you will feel the edges of the skin when you hold the phone. I used that on an iPhone and removed it after getting tired of feeling the edges of the skin.

Neah, I barely feel anything. It really depends, I guess, on the shape of the phone. Maybe iPhone is not well suited for this, but mine feels smooth and nice.
I warmed up really well the edges with the lighter when I applied the skin, so it set tight.

Just a note for others: the screen protector will show artifacts and other random blobs that may look like smudges when its fresh. This should go away within 48 hours as it completely dries. Just relax and be patient, the world wasn't built in a day.
AFAIK all of these types of protectors (zagg, bse, ps)recommend putting the phone down for 24hrs after application.... to ensure it sticks, and to allow the solution to dry

As soon as you squeeze out most of the water it will work fine for usage. At least with the phantom skinz.

yep. the vibrant and i9000actually share the same accessories as well. except theres slight differences in screen protectors because of the front facing camera, but nothing to major. if you're on eBay, youll find a lot more accessories if you search for "i9000"stuff instead of "vibrant "

it grew on me..it does get dirty on the edges,and dust was in the paint job,but at least i got a refund and get to keep the battery door..so no complaints anymore =)
Pick the Samsung OEM door. These rubberized ones don't snap on as well and stick out on the sides ever so slightly. When I take off my mesh case it gets stuck and tries to take the battery door off completely, and that might result in the loss of power from the battery dropping.

Hey guys,
So a week ago i was planning on painting my car mirrors..but I didnt know if i was gonna like it...so I was looking for a cheaper solution...
On diferent car forums I found about this PLASTIDIP thing...so I went to hom depot and for 5 bucks picked me a can
Plastipid is actually like rubberising a surface...best part ITS NOT PERMANENT!!! so if i ever get bored i can remove it like removing glue from your hand
I decded to expand the use of it to my case..and man it looks AWESOME!..no more sliding ..super grippy and if u need a retouch just simply spray another coat
not sure how long it ll last but with a can u can do like 30 cases.. Enjoy!
This works also on phones as well ..BUT be very careful blocking everything from the front part..I would only do the back cover of it if anything
PD im not responsible if you mess up your phone/case
Here some people applied that to their winter wheel and it lasted the whole winter and it's still perfect so I wouldn't be afraid on the case.
That's a great idea, I might do that.

it takes a total of like 1.5 hrs with the waiting time
Ill have to wait a little before i can try that.
Here we only have the standard color like black, blue, red and clear. And its expensive 15-20$ per can. Ill have to buy some from US

Reporting back..its been a couple days I'm finally fully used to the texture ..its still holding nice
Did a small drop test .no scratches on the case and it did a different sound when hitting the ground (due the rubberized texture )
I left the phone on my car by accident at 85 degrees here in Vegas...came back and phone was cool ..so the thingy helped with heat absorption ..

I like decal girl. They'll even make completely custom skins for you.
I especially like that they cut out the cap buttons rather then print them on the screen. I leave the cutouts inplace. I rather not see them at all.
They actually look pretty much exactly like in the photo. Just keep in mind that the back decal does not cover the entire battery cover for these. At least going by the pics it doesn't.
I got this one from Amazon awhile back in blue and black. $5 each. You can see that the corners are slit some exposing a bit of the back allowing it to curve to cover more of the battery cover unlike the ones in the op. On the device they looked exactly like in the pic. The wallpapers are the exact res of whichever device you bought the skin for, so they're non scrolling. I'll try n put it back on n get pics Sunday. My other phone is out on loan so no camera aside from the one on the SG3
Gelaskins is another viable option for skins
EDIT: No idea why I quoted..
Im looking for a clear case that wont turn yellow to give the carbon fiber skin a glossy look. If you are using or know one, please give me the brand name or link.
Thanks in advance
Clear TPU cases are generally rather cheap. I suppose you could always get one then when it turns yellow, get another? Else, maybe go for a dark/tinted one?

ah, that was something I've never quite thought about. thanks for enlightening me.
what would you think of the dark tinted case then? I've been using it for about half a year or so and it hasn't changed in colour.
do note it comes with port covers too. then again, you can easily slice it away with a knife if you don't want that.
