Ghost Armor

I installed mine yesterday as I bought two so I would always have a spare as I sent away for another or walked into a store to get another one... I have used bodygaurdz in the past and this was my first ghost armor.... Not bad, nice squeegee and nice spray bottle with a lot of stuff.... I did mine on while riding as a passanger in a car... So it is what it is.... Also still waiting for the screen to clear up which takes a couple of days, but it is better than it was yesterday. I was going to post pictures, but it says I can't link to outside links because I am a new user... If someone can post them for me send me a pm and I will send you the photobucket links.

im waiting for mine to be delivered

I also had bodyguardz on my touch pro. Just ordered the Ghost Armor for my evo as well, I absolutely hated how the edges peeled on it. Although, I think i will end up using a seidio innocase and just use the ghost armor screen protector. I just don't feel like the ghost armor or any skin for that matter will protect the phone from a fall on concrete.
Let me know how the skin ends up working out for you.

ouch - maybe should of waited to do at a desk?

They all look like that until the stuff dries out in a couple of days.... Has nothing to do with doing it on a table or not. Read the instructions this is normal and it looks better now then it did in the picture.

I bought the Silicone Case and the Screen Protector at sprint and the phone works fantastic! Don't know why you guys need to cover the whole phone with that thing. I used to have an iPhone 3GS with Zagg Inv Shield and when I took it out to sell it, it was all completely sticky.

Never had an issue with my body gaurdz being sticky when i took them off and the phone looked like new.

I believe he was talking about the outside of the invis shield being sticky because of the case, not the phone.

After doing screen protectors on way too many iPads to want to admit too, the big thing I found is that you need to figure out what kind of protector you are dealing with. The thinner glossy protectors you can normally add water to to make placing them easier because they will breathe. The matte protectors will have an issue because they do not breathe and the water can get trapped.
In regards to the water, you need to be very careful in what you use. I know it sounds weird, but I suggest using bottled water with a drop of Johnson's & Johnson's baby shampoo. The reason for the bottled water is it will not leave any type of hard water residue behind if you don't get it all out.

Mine is looking much better... I can't complain... Nothing on the screen it going to make it look as nice as with out the plastic on it. But for protection I am willing to live with the looks. I can take pictures of it at home if you want and as for the spray I used what came with the kit to spray it down.

*EDIT: Nevermind*

Dude I want that coke fridge! Haha! And the ghost armor is badass I have it and wouldn't go any other way

I agree, It doesn't even protect the sides all the way...
I wouldn't buy it

Kinda cool how they integrated the kick stand, but I agree its kinda a bad wrap around the phone.

It does cover more then the T-Mo Clear case w/kickstand though and for $9 i think i may just get it to try it out.
On a side note.... i stopped by the Verizon store today to see if the sweet Fascinate Kickstand case would fit on my Vibrant. It did fit almost perfect except the speaker was block and the camera was half blocked. I think im going to order this korean one and then if that doesnt work i may just buy the fascinate one and modifiy it to work with my vibrant. It really felt and looked awesome... just wish it was 100% perfect match

*My previous post got deleted by accident w/all the other 24 hr data during yesterday's maintenance*
I think that seller was selling 3 diff colors; black, white, and pink(?). I bought the black one 3 wks ago and recieved it about a wk ago. Initially, I thought that it was going to be shiny hard plastic case but to my pleasant surprise, it wasn't. The exterior is covered in a thin layer of hard rubber, covering the black hard shiny plastic underneath, while the inside of it is slightly padded. It looks a lot better in person than in pics.
Is the kickstand serving its purpose? Hell yea, it is...it makes watching movies on my dope SAMOLED screen that much more awesome The hard rubber makes for a good grip so it won't easily slip out of your palms like it sometimes would w/out it and it gives the phone an overall slick/cool (IMO) look. The only downside so far is that I'm getting some very small worn out spots where the hard rubber has rubbed off but it's not a big deal though.
Pics or it didn't happen, you say? Well, check 'em out !

Awesome TEE!!!!! That's exactly the response I was looking for! I went ahead and ordered mine last nite! Thanks so much! cant freakin wait!

No prob...it's a great investment. The seller also threw in a surprise gift--an extra clear jelly case!

just wanted to bump this thread and want to say i absolutely love this case. its slim and doesn't add any heft to the phone. i also like how the company added some soft padding on the inside of the case so our phones won't get scratched up on the battery case.
only problem is with the extra jelly case they provided; while looking and feeling nice, it's hard to press power button with it on.
at any rate, excellent case.

I purchased one about a week ago. I havent received it yet, but i can wait.

It looks good I just placed an order. thanks for posting pictures.

[REVIEW] GELASkins Vinyl Style And Protection

Well, Since my time around XDA I have always stated I DO NOT like cases. Even though I know I should use them for protection, I hate what they do to the phone. I like my phone NAKED, to me it is like making a sexy girl wear a armor suit.... While she is very protected, she is not half a fun to handle and not nearly as nice to look at. So.... I can across a possible solution to protect my phone from scratches and for it you have a 'custom" look. I thought I would post up for anybody who has been kicking around the idea of trying them out.
Ordering and Shipping::: I went to http://www.gelaskins.com/store/skins/phones/Motorola_Droid_X on Saturday and chose the H.R Giger (Always been a fan) after browsing through the tons of selections. Placed my order, and received a confirmation immediately stating that they will "produce" my skin and it will be shipped within 2-4 "business" days. I also received a link to download the wallpaper that goes with the skin.
Monday morning I received a UPS tracking confirmation confirming my order has shipped and 2 days later it was at my door. So, as for the production, and promptness I would have to give them a 10 easy.
Packaging/Quality::: Package was a simple plastic sleeve with the vinyl sheet containing the skins. One thing i did notice is that there were NO instructions or "tips" for installation. While I guess installation is self explanatory, some tips would have been nice ie: do stretch the skin. LOL
The quality of the skins are very nice, they seem to have a nice thickness to them, the color looks great, and while the adhesive holds tight... It is very forgiving while installing. Don't be afraid to get it right.
Installation::: This will be short.... I was hesitate at first but I can say, "it was not bad at all". I wiped my phone down with Pledge MultiSurface wipes (What I always use to clean it with" and taking my time I stuck them on. DONE. It was quite painless.
Overall::: Well, it is only my second day running them but so far I am pleased. I am not worried about putting down my phone, sliding around, or because of the tackyness not slipping out of my hand while banging out some emails and texts.
Hey, for the price of $14.95 and the look of the phone being able to change... IMO, you can't beat it!!.
Pics below.

Great review. Thanks!

how are the edges?? are they curling up at all?? im really considering getting this, just for the sheer awesomeness..

I have one of the gelaskins on my Droid X. The edges are fine and they never curl up. The skins are top notch and high quality. The only problem I have had was with the Droid X moto car dock. With the skin its a tighter fit and there was one corner, on the top left of the phone, that would sometimes catch and curl the skin back slightly when inserting the phone into the dock, but other than that the skin is very durable and wont curl up on you in the long run.

I haven't had any peeling yet. As you can see in the pics I have the Moto Extended Battery, and with my media dock and my car dock everything is holding on like it should.

appreciate the feedback! will order one today as well! im tired of my big case

Gelaskins?

Does anyone have one of these for the Tab 10.1? If so, how is the coverage on it and are you happy w/ it? I've seen some posts about phones, but Want to know if the sides of the tab are protected enough and if the screen portion is any good on a tablet?

check pictures of it on an ipad or any other tablet, i believe the result is the same.

I looked at pics of the Pad and the corners are cut out. I don't like that at all. The pics on their site are photoshopped and you can't tell anything from that.

I just got mine today from amazon. Check the last page in the mega case thread. I like it. Anything will add some amount of weight/thickness. This one fits really well. I'm keeping it.

I just got mine today and I'm extremely satisfied with it so far.
The fit is absolutely perfect from edge to edge, on all the corners, and around the camera and flash. I'm actually astounded that they managed to get the measurements so perfect; it covers the entire back without overlapping the little gap between the back panel and the trim around the edge of the device.
It also adds a little bit more of a grippy feel to the back, even moreso than the metallic grey back (which is what I have), so it feels like it will be a little easier to hang onto the Tab and not drop it.
However, you're not going to find any protection for the edges with the Gelaskin, and the front piece will not protect your screen either; it simply covers the bezel around the screen. I didn't apply the front piece because I felt like it would be more distracting than the black bezel and it also won't line up with the Gelaskins wallpaper if you rotate the Tab. But if you wanted to apply the front piece, it does have cut-outs for the front-facing camera and the ambient light sensor.
If you're looking for more complete coverage you should definitely consider something else. Personally, I just wanted something that would look nice and protect the back side from scratches when I put the Tab down on a surface, and for that purpose the Gelaskin is perfect. It also adds no bulk and I bet it would easily fit inside of a case if you wanted to do something like Gelaskin on the back + transparent TPU case and maybe a screen protector for more complete protection. At that point the Gelaskin would just be there for looks, though.
Here's a couple photos of mine:
The photo of the camera/flash makes it look like the skin is not perfectly aligned around the flash, but this is just because of the angle at which I took the photo. It's actually aligned just as perfectly as it is around the camera.
If anyone has any questions I'd be happy to answer them.

If people are buying from the gelaskins.com website, then they should put in 500PXSKINS and save 15%. I am debating if I should get one.

I just saw these on the net and came here to see if anybody had gotten one. I really like the idea of these. Perhaps even a custom one as none of the models available is tacky and loud enough for my tastes. Oh, the possibilities.

Very much grateful for the pics and reviews. I think ill bite. I like to here things like the fit is so good I don't know how they did it. Thanks again.

DIY Flip-case

If you buy a rear cover cradle type case it's pretty easy (maybe) to glue some covering and include a flap.
Here's mine (unfinished) done in leather:

Cool idea. Not good at working with leather.

How does the finish look like?

hand made cases is always good u just need time to finish it all . thats why people prefer buying one than making one :laugh:

thanks look cool but the time invested seems a bit much for finding something similar for $4. On the otherhand i am always up for DIY projects and i always thought of doing something similar to this for a case but adding a LED circuit of some sort into it. That case would def not be found anywhere else.

Time investment isn't a consideration for people intelligent enough to have thrown away their TV sets. <snicker> <snicker> Some folk prefer to spend such time doing hobby stuff like leather carving, RC model building, glass blowing, pottery, sewing, computer graphics, writing, reading, and so on and so forth.
Adding LED or LCD to a case might be fun. I can't imagine what I would hook them up to though. As indicator lights they would be redundant. Maybe as text scrollers they might be interesting. They sure would add a lot of bulk for sure! I can't really fathom any use for it. <shrug>
Such a thing like this doesn't have to be made from leather. I chose leather because I wanted to recap/learn about leather carving but gluing cuts from an old pair of Levis onto some hard plastic or cardboard for the front and onto a cheap-o back shell-case for the back could work. Furs too! I have a few faun skins (pelts) that I was thinking about using for my Galaxy Note. And also the covering doesn't need to incorporate a flip cover front part. Just the back would do. And in that case starting out with a white one and spray-painting or air-brushing could produce some interesting results! Using sculpey and sculpey-like products on a flat surface is easy and fun too!
Here's a progress update on mine. This is from about a week ago. The next step will be finishing the edges a bit and adding an inner surface which will be hard like a door and covered with padded microcloth.

Thanks guys!
NomNom, advice? As in "do not swallow!" or the likes? I dunno. Some phone manufacturer designs incorporate an antenna in the rear cover. So if the case you select replaces that cover, make sure it has the antenna connections.
FutureSteve, Now that's just plain weird!

Your artwork is amazing! Great job.

nice if i can only do this by myself. it would be great.

Nice
Great Job i was planning on asking my friend to make me one because she make shoes herself and also manage to make her own cellphone case

Do you have a pic of the finished product? Would love to see how it turned out.
