Put me down for one this sounds awesome. Our backs are the same as the i9000 so theres that community as well
Interested.
Are you sure about the carbon fiber not interfering with signal? I had a look at the LG Secret and it is a carbon fiber battery cover, but it does not cover the whole backside of the phone. There is a space at the top and bottom of it that isn't covered in carbon fiber, and for all we know that might be where the antennas reside.

where did you get this white carbon back cover?
I just purchased a role of this stuff then cut it with a razor blade and blow dryer to make the material more compliant.
I'm gonna tell you what I think....

No fair... you tell us you bought a roll of it and DIY'd it without saying where you picked up a roll. Also, is it true carbon fibre or some sort of embossed plastic? either way both colors look great... I vote yes!
Was going to do the same thing with red CF material! Happy to know it looks awesome. The guys that tinted my windows have a ton of this stuff, you guys asking might check places like that, or vinyl shops.
It looks better then the one from Phantom Skinz. Too bad I don't have enough time/patience to do it myself. I ended up picking up the whole carbon fiber skin for $17 shipped.

carbon fiber is black. if it was white fiber, it's probably fiberglass, though it'd probably end up clear after curing, or nylon/polyester.
Both are sexy as hell!
it's carbon fiber vinyl you guys can buy rolls of this stuff
it looks awesome.
Looks damn fine

Can anyone suggest a white case that won't get discolored? White phones don't get dirty/discolored from normal use so there must be a case that won't either. Here's my white mercury case and you can see its gotten discolored in a week. I've tried cleaning with lots of different things but nothing works. So any case suggestions would be appreciated. Or should I just give up and get a black one.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Problem is , most companies make cheap cases, and that means cheap coloring whether its in the mold or the finish. I suggest looking for a white molded case made out of PVC, if that's possible. Cheap finishes especialy white will always fade or discolor.
Go with black !
Maybe someone else has had better luck, hope you find what you need.

I have the white cruzer lite.
nice case but I regret buying white. I played golf last week and use golfshot. Big mistake. The andy android fellow got all dirty and discolored. I was able to wash it off with bleach spray. However now I am noticing that the corners are getting blue lines on them, from what I think is from my jeans. Not sure, but it wont come off.
While its not entirely white, I do use the SGP Neo Hybrid, white and it hasnt gotten dirty. I cut out the back, as someone on XDA did as well, and I love it. See pics from Rootzwiki i posted:

idont think its the dies so much as the materials. A lot of plastics yellow.. especialy when exposed to uv. and especially when white.
I know where your coming from. I have a white case as well. i think white looks good with the nexus. (wish i knew about the white nex coming to vz before i bought mine 16 days ago)
check wikipedia on plastics as far as i know only abs does not yellow. I think pvc is pretty good as well. so what ever case you buy look up the material its made with and check if it discolors...
good luck and when you do find one.. post your results here!

Hey,
bc of a crack at the light sensor I decided to get a complete new housing and I'd like to have it made of carbon.
Did anyone ever see something like this?
And I'm not talking about this fake carbon, which is printed plastic....
Best regards
no, never seen something like that.. But I'm curious to the result!
no there isnt anything like that i think the only way to get a carbon housing is to scase and have it made by carbon fiber if u can some1 to manifacrute it for ul...choose a And it will be quite expensive.

Your right.
New phone would cost about same amount as one carbon fiber housing.
You could buy some carbon fibre tape and cover your phone in that sure there's a video on youtube showing how to do it but can't remember what phone was used.

ow, my bad....
I love the faux brushed metallic finish on the back of the titanium Note II, and while I have to have a case to protect the phone, I want to be able to see that nice design on the back. What I'd like is a clear TPU case that I can see the back of the phone through, but most of what I find either has some sort of plaid design, or has a smokey/blurry finish to it. Here are some examples of what I've found so far:
A little hard to see, but the back cover is not perfectly clear, so the back cover will likely not show the brushed design.
This one is plaid, but seems to show that a clear case is doable.
This one may be the best one, but I'm not a big fan of the X
Anyone have any ideas? The other issue is most of the sample images use the white version, so it's hard to tell how they'll look on the titanium model. Thanks for your help!
You could try a zagg full body cover I've used them on other phones. Doesn't add any bulk and definitely protect against scratches. Not much shock absorption though lol.
Good luck
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note II via xda premium
I'd love to do that, but I'm more concerned with dropping the phone than scratching it
I bought a half clear and half blue transparent case thats got a kickstand. Its pretty nice and the back is clear and the blue parts are very nice light blue color. It cost all of 2.97 on amazon!
It was made by a company called fomson? Forson? Something like that. Just search for note 2 cases on amazon and theres lots of varieties...and they are dirt cheap. I bought another just because it was so cheap.
Ill never buy those expensive 30 dollar sprint store or best buy 25 dollar ugly black cases.
Or an otterbox......ew I hate those...
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
This was the closest thing I could find on Amazon, but again, notice how the case makes the back look silver, instead of making the brushed design visible.
I may just be SOL on this one...

Do either of you have the titanium Note II? If so, does the pattern show up with this case? Also, is that completely TPU, or is it hard plastic on the back? I'm worried about the impact resistance on the hard plastic cases.

I was wondering if anyone tried the combination of the diztronic case and a mercury screen protector. The new mercury SP's doesnt cover the entire front anymore (see picture) and was hoping the rest of the front would be covered by the diztronic case.
I have the SP and matte case diztronic, and it shows a little bit of the S3 front screen when the case is on. its unnoticeable though. I have a blue Galaxy S3 and black case, black SP.

That actually looks really nice. I really like that the screen protector covers the Samsung logo, but hate that it adds the Mercury logo to the front of the phone. I would love to have an all black S3 with no logos but, alas, I've yet to find a way to do that.

try bullkin. I think there's a thread somewhere here with a direct link to buy from china.
the only drawback is that the menu/back key barely lets the light through.
EDIT: since it ships from china, it will take a while, but i have the red one and it covers up nearly everything save a tiny sliver on one or the other side.

do you have a case on the s3 or just the sp? because i really want the diztronic case and trying to figure out which SP would be best to pair with it
I didnt order the bullkin one. I kind of prefer the mercury because its anti glare. lol.
Btw, my phones back cover has a xtremeguard back protector and when its not there, the case wraps much better on the phone and doest show the original screen of the phone

thanks a bunch. That was the one I was looking for (but in red) I know ebay has some for sale and I remembered someone here said they're buying one so i'm waiting to hear their response in regards to "lift" for the bumper.
the only thing that bothers me about that case is that it's a cutout of the buttons rather than a cover.. but that's why i'm thinking of taking apart my other case to modify to do so. I'll see if I can post results if it's successful.

Let me know if it works well with the bullkin SP.
also i like the cutouts.... cases with a cover over the buttons tend to be too sensitive or impossible to press the buttons
sounds good. when i get to modding mine. i'll post a review of some sort.
oh god. that case, i have a black one of that. One of the screws goes through the hole, but this is because of the case being defective. But the piece where the screw rests, gets. The case looks good though, but the buttons are too deep in the case. You wont be able to press them with ease. Maybe when youre done modding ill try the case again.

btw, since you said you have that case, when you place the phone on its back, does the camera lens still touch the surface it's laying on or does it give abit of space?
