[pics] Skinomi carbon fiber - Atrix 4G Accessories

Well I received my package in the mail today and what do ya know, its the carbon fiber skin I ordered! I bought a skin because I highly dislike cases, it always adds bulk and it really peeves me. Took me about half an hour to install it and I think I did a good job. Doesn't quite cover it 100% but i guess its enough.
Pros: Looks amazing
I like the texture
pretty good coverage
Cons: wasn't expensive, but it wasn't cheap either ($20)
Afraid it might peel (will update this in a few weeks)
still kinda slippery, possibility of it falling =\
I apologize for the blurry pics, I will post better ones once my camera is charged.
P.S. I also have a SGP Ultra-Oleophobic screen protector on, best screen protector I have used.
If you want to buy your own: Skinomi Carbon Fiber
SGP Ultra-Oleophobic

Looks quite good. I just wish they would make one that has front and back coverage. Having a cf back but stock front looks like skinomi did a half assed job.

Where would you even put it on the front? The whole thing is glass up front with hardly any bezel

The OP included the link in his first post, but wanted to point out that all of the skinomi skins for the atrix are cheaper on amazon than the actual skinomi site. It's only a few bucks, but might as well save when you can.

That's why I put "The OP included the link" part. Just wanted to specifically point out that it's cheaper on amazon in case someone just googled skinomi and found their site lol. I would have ended up ordering from skinomi if I hadn't checked amazon first (wanted to take advantage of prime for shipping then found out it was cheaper) so I wanted to make sure others were aware.

I have the same thing, since this doesn't affect the car dock. I used the same skinomi carbon fiber kit on my Droid X, doesn't just peel off, you have to peal it off if you want it to come off..
I did use the screen protector that came with the kit, if you have any bubbles or blurs, it will go away within a couple of days.. I had 3 bubbles show up on my screen the next morning after installing, but it went away in 2/days.. I can't even tell I have it on, looks just like it did before I installed the screen protector..

They work fine just like they did for my Captivate too - put a T-shirt over your front buttons and try pressing them, does the same thing!
OP - Looks like "skinomi" charged you $20 for a pre-cut version of what you could have done yourself from an $8 strip from CarbonFiberFilm.com.... but hey, the cuts look good from what I can see in the pics, and it solves the issues people keep asking me about rounding off the corners on the back cover. I didn't do the back cover for a reason, so if you want to, buy this!

Yes I understand I was overcharged, however i do not have the expertise with cutting and probably would have wasted more than $20 worth of di noc

invisibleSHIELD avaiable yet?

Does anyone know if the ZAGG invisibleSHIELD is available yet? I haven't been able to find it anywhere.
Is anyone else waiting for it to come out (or already have one)? I haven't used them before, but I thought I should (especially since I just paid $700+ for this phone ).
No but I bought a skinomi and they have a similar product with a great warranty.
They are actually available from Car Phone Warehouse from today.... But its only the front piece not the whole device!!!

I will follow to see how it go's , i think the backside is too rough, for it too stick.
I ordered skinomi (full body) clear back, from Amazon. It said "in stock" and to expect delivery between May 12-14.
On another note I ordered EZguardz screen protectors from Amazon. 5 for $2.00 with free shipping. They came in yesterday in a regular envelope from USPS. They look to be the same "urethane" material as zagg, bodyguardz, skinomi, etc. Instructions give two installation techniques, one with water and the other dry.
I cant wait for the bodyguardz version. The full body kit comes with 2 sets of backs and fronts. Best bang for the dollar and they are high quality.
Let's hope the skin has the correct dimensions.

I went away this weekend and my phone felt naked without a case and screen protector. I was so scared I'd damage it. Anyway, before I went away I emailed Zagg to ask if they did a shield for the S2.
While I was away I popped into CPW and they said they did have some Zagg shields, but had sold out.
When I got back I had an email from Zagg saying they didn't yet make a shield for the S2. Most confusing.

mate, would you mind advising me the best one from skinomi (or one you bought and satisfied)
I bought a Case-mate Gelli case from CPW shop yesterday. They also had the Zagg InvisibleShield in stock.
P.S. I have a Zagg InvisibleShield on my iPad, and the surface is a bit orange peely. Is it the same material on smaller devices?
P.P.S The Case-mate case came with a screen protector too, but it was completely wrong (looked like it was for a Galaxy S). The Gelli case is a good fit though.
Zagg just released their invisibleSHIELD. Can`t post the link to their page because of my few messages, go check their page.

Sebastian Moreno
Zagg Invisible Shield now available at ebay and their website. the front part, next to microphone seem not well designed, it's been cut like curve shape. Not happy with Zagg design but more better quality protector out there other than Zagg.

[REVIEW] Ballistic SG Case (UPDATE)

UPDATE:
I have seen a lot of questions about people seeing this case with out the lip portion which is on the top right of the screen. I just found this case on ebay which is half the price and does not have the lip.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Xshie...648123?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2a176d08fb
Here is a White version I also found which looks nice.

Ballistic SG Case for T-Mobile
I just saw it on eBay and it looks like a great case for protection.
Here is the company's site with the standard S2. They haven't added our phones yet to their site.
http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/samsung-galaxy-s2-ballistic-shell-gel-sg-series-case
Just recieved it today. I like the way it looks but it has a couple of drawbacks.
Pros:
1) Pushing the volume or power button is the best I have seen yet for the T-Mobile GS2 cases. Very fluid just like there isnt a case and the buttons make the natural noise that they make just like not using a case.
2) Seems to be the best protection I have seen for the GS2. I think it will handle a drop very easily.
3) I dont have a screen protector but the way this is designed I dont see how this case would cause any issues like the D30 cases do due to a tight fit. Its somewhat loose and should not cause the corners of a screen protector to lift up.
4) Has a great feel to it and adds some weight to the phone.
5) Protects the back camera perfectly.
6) It does add some thickness to the phone but this is because the phone is extra protected. I would say it is about 1.5x to 1.75x as thick as the phone without a case on it.
Cons:
1) The first layer is rubber and due to this fact it has a few issues.
2) Collects lint easily from your pocket.
3) Can be difficult at times to put in and out of your pocket due to the rubber.
By far though this is the best case I have had for a phone. I own a couple of TPU cases for the T-Mobile GS2 and a D30. It makes the D30 look like junk even though the D30 is a great basic case.It has some drawbacks but the pros outweigh the cons. I definitively recommend this case to anyone that wants the ultimate protection for their phone and doesnt mind cleaning the lint off everyonce in a while. If you like my review please give me a thanks.
just saw one too. didnt kno that they started to make them yet. their a little bulky for my line of work. and since im a student im not really in the situations where is need THAT Much protection....but do a review if you get one.
I ordered one. As soon as it comes in I will post pics.

Highly recommended. Fits perfect. Buttons easy to push. 2 pieces, inside rubber and outside hard plastic. Hasn't bubbled up my zagg yet. All holes line up as they should. Looks super cool. A++++++.

I have to say yes... I'll take measurement tmrw but the corners are thicker than all of it. Its still not bad. Fits in my pocket n like how it feels in my hand ... I like the texture of back compared to the d3o.
To be fair, the rubber corners will pick up lint just like vibrant otter box. This thing is maximum protection...

Case looks pretty bad ass but I think it would be too big and like u said more like a brick thanks for the review op. Appreciate itit
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Thanks, got one on order. This will be my 4th and hopefully final case for this phone, I am a fan of otterbox so I think I will like it. I started with the black bodyglove from tmobile, not a bad case but a pain in the ass to take of so I got one of the clear TPU cases from ebay and its a great case. And then the D30 came out so I exchanged the bodyglove for it, had to take it back because it fit like crap, the next one fit 95% better but is still uneven around the edges and for a $25.00 piece of rubber it should be perfect like the $7.00 one from ebay.
The first D30 that I got was from T-Mobile. That one fit perfectly, just didn't like the way how the button press felt. So then I also got a TPU case from eBay. Next thing T-Mobile gave out the cases so I picked it up, returned the original one I bought at T-Mobile store, but then the one I got from T-Mobile online, it fit 95% and was bubbling up my Realook. I was hoping for a Seidio case to come first but since I've heard good things about Ballistic case, I gave it a shot. Waiting for it to come in the mail now.

Oh yeah, that was the other thing, the buttons. Volume not too bad, power button was a PITA on the D30.

[Q] Diztronic case and mercury screen protector

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.

this one is red.... im thinking about try it because i have the same one but the slider version and not the screw.
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.

I'll report back with pictures and a summary of what I did. I'm just waiting to hear back from the other member who was buying from the same seller.
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?

I have this. Got it from a different seller. I actually ordered 2 for my phones. One of them is perfect. No issues, looks invisible once it's applied. The other has the same defect as the original batch or Spigen Glas.tR. Where it has a bubble in the lower right hand corner.
I contacted the seller and I'm awaiting a replacement.
Overall it's very nice, way smoother than any plastic PET film. The oleophobic coating isn't as good as the one on the GG3. It's more like the film on original GG (Takes a few more wipes on your pant leg to get rid of the finger prints). Overall for $7 I paid for mine I'm happy with it.
Should come with alcohol prep pad and lint free cloth. Instructions keep referencing Glas.tR. Its not a clone of the Glas.tR since it has cut outs for the camera and sensors.

AnkerĀ® Tempered-Glass Screen Protector

Installed last night and very impressed. Had 3 small patches of spider web, 2 of which have gone on their own and the 3rd is hardly noticeable and I have a feeling this will go too.
There's a slight lift around the edges of the earpiece, I guess that's down to the glass on the phone not being completely flat.
I've had a Spigen tr and a Nillkin, neither of which went on as well as the Anker - although that could be just me having more practice!
Oleophobic coating is also working nicely, a few smears but overall very good indeed.
I'd definitely recommend one especially if you don't want to pay the premium for Spigen.

This is with a Spigen Ultra Hybrid..
Just got one of these myself. Its pretty good but my cruzerlite tpu case is not working well with this SP. Might need to get a different case

I wish this was available in Canada =(
Just put mine on yesterday and only ended up with one small bubble in the top left area of the phone and no spider webs (w00t w00t!)
I have it paired with a Spigen Slim Armor and it fits on JUST about right. Not sure if it's putting pressure on the glass screen but it looks like it fits perfectly. We'll see how long it lasts with it.
Texture on the glass screen is amazing. Neither I or my co-workers could feel any type of difference.
bought this and have small spiderweb at bottom.. still happy, very high quality.
hope sw goes away after time.
I agree, wish I could find these in canada. $15 bucks I'm willing to spend, $35 not so much.

if you don't care waiting a few weeks, you can buy this Glass-M (0.15mm) for 19.99$ US free shipping to canada :

I just installed mine tonight. I love it. Feels great and have no issues with the touch screen.
I could have lined up the protector a little better, but despite that I only have a couple a small air bubbles that should go away.
I highly recommend it! I just wish my cruzerlite case would still work with it. Oh well...

Shame about the cases not working well.. Spigen Hybrid is fine, not noticed any issues as yet.
Can you please provide some pictures? :good:
How thick is this screen protector?
I'll take some later :good:
0.38mm I think, feels very nice though.. not too thick at all.
Many thanks!
I can't seem to find the UK or German amazon site for this?
How does it compare to Mime Ghost glass?

No...Look to the title. This is the link to "AnkerĀ® Screen Protector for Google Nexus 5 [3 Pack] Xtreme Scratch Defender Ultra-Clear High-Response Premium with Lifetime Warranty"
The Pet film screenprotectors....
Oh that's weird.. The link came from my order confirmation from Amazon for the glass protector! I didn't read it, just assumed it would be correct.. I guess they aren't selling therm.
Edit: ha just noticed that the original link in the first post goes to the wrong item now too.. Ah well.

I'm wondering when they are selling them again. I'm doubting between Anker or Mime Ghost screen. Which one is better? Anker offers lifetime warranty though!
Not sure, I've not used the Mime yet.. Only this, the Spigen and the Nillkin. The Anker has been the best so far, it's still on my phone and not chipped, which is an improvement!

i got one recently about 2 weeks ago, and for some reason i got a huge bubble spider looking web about half inch on the bottom of my screen and about 2 small spider webs which i didnt mind too much. I contacted them through amazon since supposedly they're bubble "free". This is the reponse i got
"Thanks for the response and sorry for the issue.
Actually we have had this issue reported and we are currently investigating it with our suppliers as it seems to be a batch issue. A replacement as much as I would have liked to make, it's not a viable option.
May I ask a second chance to make things right by issuing a refund? We will further process once we get your consent."
Ever since then the screen protector is not available, i didnt want a refund because i liked the screen protector but that half inch bubble its getting on my nerves. So i went ahead and accepted the refund will be trying Nilkin i guess.
I got this screen protector a couple weeks ago, too, and I have a big bubble at the bottom that hasn't gone away. I just called and they said they have made some manufacturing changes to the protector which should (hopefully) resolve the bubble problems. However, the new batch won't be ready for 1-2 weeks.
I am going to wait for a new one. They will call me when they are ready to be shipped.
