It's always a pain putting those on though. You can never quite get it to look as perfect as the pictures show, unless you get one of those Indian guys from the mall to put it on.

putting a $20 skin on plastic back that will be a $10 item seems silly. I bet we see $10 back covers all over the place soon.

I haven't received my phone yet, but I am thinking about putting a BestSkinsEver skin on the back. I realize the back will probably be sold on eBay for $10 at some point, but I hear the phone can get a little slippery and the skins add just the right amount of rubbery tackiness to keep the phone from slipping out of my hand.

Having a lot of experience in this subject (see link in signature), I can go ahead and tell you that if you don't have a lot of experience, you won't get that skin to wrap around the corners and edges properly and make it look the way you want it to. Good luck, but it seems like throwing away money because you sure won't be satisfied with the results!

Its easy to get on. Cut the backing down the middle, then tape the other end to the phone. Then remove the half of the skin backing, then the other. And any wrinkles just heat with a blowdryer and its perfect.

is it actually a carbon fibre cover or just plastic?

I have ordered this and it is en route to my house!!!

(yet another)Carbon Fiber Battery Cover

Seeing there are several threads about people laying down black carbon fiber look vinyl on their phones, here's one done in silver. I got ripped off on eBay when I thought the listing was for genuine 3M Di-Noc, but the results turned out decent enough to share. Major problem with the cheap vinyl is that it stretches out way too easily and it melts at a lower temperature than the quality film.

Looks pretty sweet! Is that stuff adhesive, or do you have to use some sort of glue?

Yes, it is adhesive backed. Like I said I got the off brand stuff, the 3M branded Di-Noc works much better. There are numerous clips on youtube about the stuff and how to use it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mL0nOpvkTb4 <=== link to video showing install on a BMW steering wheel.

Does it come in black? White is too girly for me.

It looks unnatural

I've got black 3M textured Carbon, but I think the stuff would be way too thick to work on the backing. I'll try it though, have a ton left from my computer.

The 3M branded film works great on the back. You just have to trim it right at the edges of the cover instead of folding over the underside a bit. That pic turned out looking white? It is silver. They have 500! other colors. I dont know about the other 500 varieties but the carbon fiber look films are actually textured and have a good grip to them.

I went ahead and put the fiber on my backplate.... It looks awesome, but the lip is killing me....
Edit: The fiber was pretty thick, so an idea struck me. I stuck it on the back directly, instead of on the cover. Fits great, feels great. Might add another layer to get rid of some of the 'give' between components.
Ridges are a whole heck of a lot more visible in photos, but aren't they always?
Phone is an extra mm thinner, and a bit lighter too. In addition, the battery no longer falls out in those big drops

Good Slim, White, Matte Finish Case? (Ships to Canada)

Suggestions for a good thin, white, matte finish case that ships to Canada?

I am using the original "Designed for Samsung" case, made by Samsung itself. It's slim and has a nice rubbery and matte outside. Here are some pictures with it:

The code of the case is SAMNCCWH. If you search for that you will surely find it. Good luck

wasn't it determined that this case wasn't made by Samsung actually?
still looks nice, im looking at getting the black version, but not covering the top and bottom is making me hesitant.

Sorry, I didn't get that. Who exactly determined that?

I suggest that this silicone case, ultra-thin and transparent, do not feel the weight of. Link

Skip to post #61 for conversation about authenticity.
It seems to be made by Kondor Limited, who is an OEM manufacturer contracted by Samsung.
The case may not be official, but people still like it and say it fits well. Not bad at all.

I use this one on my white Nexus. It's a little transparent.

Skinomi Carbon Fiber Skin is absolutely gorgeous!

So I decided that I got tired of Samsung's infamous glossy polycarbonate fingerprint-magnet casing and decided to do something about it. I think you'll find the results below are quite stunning if I do say so myself.
Feel free to comment and share your thoughts/questions. : )

I normally dislike skins, but I do have to agree that this one looks rather nice.

Looks good, do you have it in a case also?
If so can we see your setup.

That case looks pretty much identical to the Poetic case I got from Amazon - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008YZ8VL8. I get on very well with it as it is not too bulky.

Have added two pics for you guys of the front and my case and carbon fiber stylus as well.

Hey mate, the skin looks awesome and I'm thinking of getting one. Question, what weather widget are you running?

I've had the skinomi brushed steel skin on my note for about two months now. After about 5 weeks, the thinner strips along the front bezel and sides started to slip and the adhesive seemed to be breaking down. I have since removed them and now only have the pack pieces on. I did contact skinomi via amazon and I believe they are going to offer a replacement. Just a heads up. I'll be curious to see how yours wears on...

Any flip/stand case -without- wallet?

Hi,
I'm looking for a case that's like this style:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
but without the wallet / creditcard space. I just want a thin flat cover for the screen, not something with my plastic sticking out to scratch or mark it whatever
i hope that makes sense
i look on amazon/ebay but all of this style case are only with wallet
anyone have suggestion of simple flat no-wallet version of this case style?
thanks

Just don't put any cards in it!

I think this one will suit your needs. Not sure about the quality though; my biggest concern is the PU leather back. It seems rather thin.

If you don't mind not having a stand, Nillkin is probably the most popular choice.

Appears to be the "iTALKonline LG Google Nexus 5 (2013) CARBON FIBRE BLACK Executive Wallet Case Cover Skin Cover with HORIZONTAL VIEWING STAND and Credit Card Holder" on Amazon. Can't link it since I'm a new member. There are other cases at a very similar price on amazon.
