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?
Sent from my Vibrant using XDA App

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.

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.

[Q] Lens protection, ideas/needed?

I don't want a case, the phone seems relatively tough by design, gorilla glass and all. I'm concerned about the camera though. Anyone have any ideas for protection or whether it actually needs it?

Interesting - didnt know those sort of things existed.
Not sure what to do about mine - I'll monitor this thread with interest

It was my understanding that the lens cover is made of the same/similar glass that's used for the front of the phone.
The HTC Desire etc. had a plastic lens cover that was on the back cover rather than on the actual phone itself which is why something like that needed to exist.

I've got a scratch on the front screen of my phone already! Didn't get any in my hero this bad after 20 months. No idea how it happened.
Thinking it might be a one off. Has anyone else got any scratches?

(temporarily for now) I have a small square cut out from the left outs of INVISISHIELD screen protector and have placed it over the "8.0 MEGA" bit.
So when I place it on the table the invisishield will take the weight & scratches

Thanks for linking to my site eddablin and Hampa_D!

simply buy a cheap phone protector, cut it and put in to the lens. I do that on my hd2 for years and its great.

This sounds like a good idea. Does it affect picture quality through the invisishield though?

No I just did two really thin strips on the top and bottom of the lens so that it doesn't affect camera whatsoever. And on the bottom just above the speakers. Ill take a pic and post it when I have time. definitely working though. I'm at peace without needing a case.

Looks good. I'm sure I had some of this stuff lying around but predictably, I can't find it. Will definitely buy some!

I find it hard to believe that some case maker doesnt jump on this gap in the market and design a case with a simple sliding or magnetic cover over the lens... it seems simple, in my head!
Im going to try and make my own cover on a silicon case, just ordered some really thin magnetic strip and going to try to devise a simple material flap to cover the lens and fix with the magnet.. sue, it will prob look awful, but its a case of function over design for me!

White Galaxy Nexus Housing Installed [VERIZON]

Be prepared to hate me. It took quite a bit of modification and I do not recommend anyone to do it because its a pain in the ass and its better just to wait for the real Verizon housing to come out. I used to GSM white housing and modified it to fit, for the most part at least.
I also had to use a ****ty webcam because that's all I had to work with that can take pictures in my apartment. You can see that I was trying to hide behind the phone.

If I can find a way to get a hold of a decent camera then I may explain but it really isn't worth it and you can easily screw it up. Also the damn housings are like $50 USD and take 2 weeks to ship from that Germany guy. Who knows by the time you get it we might already have the White LTE Nexus.

Yes, what was once a nice looking piece of plastic is now a mangled mess on the inside. But of course the battery door covers it all up. If this thing gets in water there is no saving it. I had to do a LOT of cutting and shaving and grinding.

Granted it does look good on the outside, next time I would just spray paint the original chassis white or just wait.

You should totally mod it to fit and send the housing to me for me to put on. Ill pay ya ;D

White Housing for GSM Nexus is $25 shipped on eBay for a limited stock, doesn't include the battery door. The barebones Silver goes for $13, so this is pretty good. I snatched one up, as my White Housing is scuffed up but my door is fine.

Slim case with a kickstand.

I use the above case. It does not add a whole lot to the phone as far as size or weight goes. The kick stand seems pretty sturdy as well. The rubber on the outside gives the user the ability to grip the phone without worry of having it slip through your hands. The buttons on the case protrude a bit making them easy to find by touch.
All in all a great case and it looks good with the white GS3.

can see the page there Fortte have a model that keeps the cell at an angle of 45 ° very good but you have to see if they have it for your phone and if I have misunderstood what you can do.

The Official Samsung Mesh case is probably your best bet -- Although it doesn't have a kickstand built in, all you need is a quarter, and boom, you got yourself a 4.8 HDTV.

You can also possibly pick this phone up at AT&T as I almost did - Unfortunately, I didn't think the kickstand was very sturdy and winded up passing on it. I believe it is either $30 or $35 at the store I went too.

I used the case mate on my Epic 4G touch and it worked well BUT it is not slim, I tried the one for the S3 and it is just as fat. Obviously it depends on your opinion of what is fat or not but I felt like it was fairly bulky. I currently am thinking of getting a tcp speck case from AT&T and attaching a flygrip to it. If I do that I'll post again. Even though I have Verizon it seemed like the AT&T stores had best selection of cases around me (versus Sprint and Verizon plus a couple case stores, just fyi).

Car Phone Holder (Navigation, Ease of Access)

Hello everyone, I guess I'm just here to show you guys a little accessory I made for my One. I welded it out of random scrap metal and bent a bracket back in between the dash and clock accessory to hold it in place. It's very stable, and good for using with Navigation, or for changing the music on my Bluetooth stereo.

You need to go to home depot and pick up a can of plasti-dip to coat your holder.
No way would I place my device in that bare. If its in a case that would be fine, but the bare metal sticking out of your dash is abit of an eyesore.
I like it as a diy, but coat it in plasti-dip and it would go from unsightly to being near perfect.

Love the implementation of Industrial Design, combined with American ingenuity & sheer retardedness. lol.
Just kidding! Work on your quality of finish maybe?

lol yeah, im not a big fan of cases honestly. I may use one from time to time, but only to match an outfit, but even then I mostly rely on skins lol. I usually just throw a full body skin on it or leave my phones bare.
Always found it funny when people rave and make a big deal about how a phone looks or how thin it is then throw it into an otterbox or something.

You need to go to home depot and pick up a can of plasti-dip to coat your holder.
No way would I place my device in that bare. If its in a case that would be fine, but the bare metal sticking out of your dash is abit of an eyesore.
I like it as a diy, but coat it in plasti-dip and it would go from unsightly to being near perfect.

I did as you said, and plasti-dipped it!
I think it looks pretty cool, and now it's protected by a layer of rubber, so bare phones will be happy still.

Wow, don't we have a bunch of asshats on this forum.
Nice work dude, maybe spray it with something so you don't damage the phone.
Here are the pictures after it's been plasti-dipped.

Very nice. I wish I had my '89 CRX to do things like this to. I'm going to find a decent suction cup holder from somewhere eventually.

Is this the only version you're making? I was thinking next time you could use a pneumatic press and take a single piece of steel and fold it so you don't have so many harsh edges. Or heat a single piece of steel and make like a blacksmith and bend that beast with a sledgehammer and willpower.
alternatively if you absolutely must weld it, weld the sides on the backside of the backplate rather than the front. Just curious why you took the time to weld it but disregarded the 20 seconds it would've taken to smooth it with a hand-held grinder?
Also, why not legos?

I also had the idea to build this with lego . (my old phone, but also works with my HTC One)
