Phantom Skinz Chromatics Carbon Fiber with Pics

So, I went ahead and gave Phantom's new Chromatic's a try. I went with the Carbon Fiber Black. IMO it looks amazing. Instead of wasting 1.5 hours of my time I just had the guy at the mall install it for $10. There is one flaw on the top left corner there are 2 little ripples and I plan on taking it back to have them fix as it has a lifetime warranty with their install. One of the pics shows this. Other than that, I love it.
This also includes the screen protector.
FYI, it does not have that rubbery grippy feel of a normal skin so if you desire that, I suggest staying away form this. Also, while it breaks in, the edges of the back skin pick up pocket link like a vacuum.
In my experience testing zagg, BSE and now Phantom Skinz, the phantom just seems to have a unsurpassed quality to it. Just my .02. Enjoy the pics!

Do you think all malls would have this? I don't particularly like going to the mall... I suppose I could google it...I'm just lazy...

looks great would love to get that on my phone but my mall unfortunately does not carry this.

Looks great! Can't wait for mine to get here so I can try the install. What store at the mall did the install for you?

You dont have to go to a mall to get it. You can order it from phantom skinz your self and put it on yourself. Link If you dont want to do it yourself just call phantom skinz and ask them. They are based out of Gilbert, AZ and I live just down the streat from there so maybe that is why there was a kiosk in that mall. Thier number is (480) 497-2965, call and ask if they have a kiosk in a mall near you.

Very stupid question but does this provide adequate protection for the phone? If you happen to drop the phone would this protect it?

$15, I'd be sold.
$20, if I was drinkin'...
$30? No way.
The White Carbon Fibre did look sweet though.

use coupon code summersale2010 and its $20 online.

down8 start taking shots!

That looks sick, i would only do the battery cover part though since the front looks like it doesn't fit right, i would have taken them the gay extra purple battery cover( in case the adhesive wanted to give me **** one day) and had them wrap that **** and called it a day, i wonder if they only sell the back hhhhmmmmm... let me check

That looks really good. How much is the cover?

$20 on phantomskinz.com with coupon code summersale2010. Otherwise $30.

Just ordered a black carbon fiber one.
coupon code worked perfectly.

Not hijacking this thread, but would appreciate it when you guys get your skin in, can you take a HQ scan of it? I would like to have the pattern to cut my own skin out of vinyl. Thanks people.

Yes, a scan would be much appreciated!

Just ordered the black carbon fiber one. very nice and my phone hasn't even goten here yet

eweo911 just got owned!

Oh yeah, I got owned. OK, whatever 12 year old.
Anyways, can you show me where it says they are copyrighted. I have had several different skins for other devices and I have never seen anything about a cutout having a copyright. I may be wrong but I have never seen it, although I admit I had never really looked too hard.
Oh and you didn't spoil my day, it just would be nice to have a scan. I have already made my own cutout but wanted to see how others have handled the wrapping of the corners versus what I have done.

Seidio

I was checking Seidio for a Rezound case today, and saw this:
http://www.seidioonline.com/kindle-fire-s/7526.htm
Looks like they are working on a case likely like:
http://www.seidioonline.com/apple-ipad-2-active-case-black-p/csk5ipd2-bk.htm
for the fire. Thought some others may find it nice, I have always loved seidio and am a strong believer in them.
*posted in wrong area, having mod move ^^

I'm of the opposite opinion. I've always thought Seidio was overpriced and lacking in quality. I've had two of their cases and both broke within a couple months.

I think it would be the best case so far. I don't like the leather cases and soft cases like marware that people are buying so far.

They posted pictures finally:

Looking pretty neat.

I'm really looking forward to trying out some of these cases... especially from Seido their stuff is usually high quality. I've had several of their other cases for my android phones and they have yet to disappoint me. Just hurry up and gimmie one

Now shipping.
Ordered one and two screen protectors.

WOW what a case. Me like one for Xmas.

At work at the moment, so haven't gotten a chance yet. It arrived just before I left for here.

The case is amazing. Pic from me installing CM7 on it using its stand.

I like the idea, but I'm afraid constantly.popping it out of the case in order to tilt it would 1 be annoying and 2 wear on/damage the kindle. Let me know what you think after using yours for a bit.

Had to hurry up and get one of these. How long was the shipping turnaround? Ordered it in Royal blue with the multi-purpose stand.

Nice case. How is it in hand?

It adds a bit of bulk. The texture is actually not great. It fairly smooth so it feels like the Kindle is gonna fall out of your hand.
I plan on using it when traveling, but around the house the Fire will be naked.

What about popping it out for using the stand? Does it seem like it will wear on the kindle?

Nah,
Popping out of the multi-purpose stand is fairly easy. Doesn't stress the Kindle at all.

anybody else got one of these? i bought a case from them for my dads xoom, its okay, does its job. i thought about getting the blue on but ill probably just get black to not be flashy lol.
just wondering about the quality id get one of the stands with it too
thanks
TBG
edit: bought it off amazon for 33 dollars shipped with the stand. hopefully it will be here soon.

Did you buy a kit? If so from where?
Did you just have a large piece of vinyl that you stretched and put the back and then trimmed?

late Reply
I didn't even consider that people were still reading this. This is actually a piece of automotive vinyl from 3M. It's their carbon effect selection. From here, I simply cut a section that was the right size for my phone back and then trimmed it down with a razor blade. From here, I used a heat gun to gently pass over it until I was able to shape the corners and retrim.

Awesome. ..
Well done ...
This looks excellent. ..g

Ridiculous. Kevlar is a material. It can be woven, colored & designed just like any other material. They make suits woven with Kevlar, high end suits, for high risk CEO's, etc. They also make Kevlar coated vehicles. Starwood Motor in Texas makes a Kevlar coated Jeep Wrangler that is pretty badass. http://www.starwoodmotors.com/web/used/Jeep-Wrangler-2013-Dallas-Texas/7060412/

Idk about all that, but I went out and bought some carbon fiver vinyl wrap from Autozone for my note and it came out great! No heat gun required, just clean, apply, cut the edges, don't even need to wrap around the shell because part of the shell goes into the casing of the phone and protects the edges. Looks great, feels great, I absolutely love it Thanks for the great idea!

i got mine from dx.com, its free shipping and very cheap (even in canada)
shipping is a bit long but hey it's free

Replica Official Bumper case micro-review w/pics

I bought these on ebay for about $10 each. Sorry if the pics aren't the best. There's not a lot to say about them, they fit very well and I don't feel any give or looseness. The plastic quality is pretty good, and look much better in good light. For the money, I'd say they're definitely worth it, no doubt.

I got the red one and like you I was quite impressed. Very nice looking out of the box.
However the feel of the case is very slippery and difficult to hold. Not sure if the original is the same but I just could not get used to it. Went back to a cheap e-bay TPU case again after a few days.

Can you...
....Give me a link to this store. I'll definitely buy one of these. :highfive:
EDIT: to ebay.co.uk

Any experience with the peeling issue? I'm asking everywhere, i would buy this one instantly, but the peeling issue keeps me from that

Thank you for the review
Can you please add a pic with the bumper mounted? I've ordered the yellow one from Hong Kong and I'm waiting for its arrival.

I completely agree. It's pretty slippery, but good looking. I'm just going to use it once in a while when I go out and want a different look. But for most days I'm going to stick to my Ringke Fusion Crystal View case. It has very tacky sides and I never feel likes it's going to slip out of my hands. But like I said, the replica bumper cases do look good. For what I paid, it's adequate.

I also got the grey one but was able to use it only for a few weeks before there was quite bad dis-colouration on the sides/edges and back. Makes it look very dingy.
That along with how slippery it was makes it something I would not recommend.
I'm no expert but these replica cases somehow feel like they are missing some kind of coating or finishing or something.
