Ghost Armor Carbon Fiber Review

Ordered the Ghost Armor Carbon Fiber skin on Tuesday and it was just delivered today. I ran over to the kiosk here in my local mall and had the guy there install it since I'm all thumbs when it comes to this.
First impressions:
Carbon Fiber feels great and adds pretty much no bulk. The screen protector is great, Ive used Ghost Armor on most of my electronic screens and this one is no different from the others. Ghost Armor is a wet application, but has NO orange peel like other wet application protectors. Being day 1 there is a slight haze, but this typically goes away after a few days.
The battery cover has 1 cutout for the "Samsung" logo. I would assume this would line up perfectly assuming you have the standard battery door. I am using the extended battery and door so the cutout was slightly off. The guy at the kiosk enlarged the cutout so it appeared correct.
On to the pictures:

Hi! great review! But can you take more macro shots of the front screen protector with different angles? Thanks!

That looks pretty sweet, do they sell them directly at the kiosks or do you have to order them ?

Looks badass. I'm a sucker for anything carbon fiber.

Me too...such a weird manly fetish though lol

looks great.
i loved the look and feel of my ghost armor screen protector that i had on my droid x but it did really funny things when you looked at it with polarized sunglasses on and i finally had to strip it.

What color is that? gun metal?
FYI guys they currently have a 30% of promo right now the code is lm30

Thanks for the code. I'll soon see how the phone will look with black carbon fiber =D

Would love some pics of the phone with the black carbon fiber on it if anyone can post.

Does this make the back of the phone less slippery?

I've never used anything like this on a phone, (always used a case) but I love the idea of the slim fit/no bulk. Also, this looks pretty tough.
Whats it like putting these on? PITA? Not bad?
EDIT: Just ordered one, thanks for review/pics, and also the code. Lets hope its not an epic ordeal to install.

I had the same one from Amazon and prefer this HANDS down! Its slimmer and more comfortable.

I saw a video review and it shows the clear part having a purple tint on it?
If someone has any hi-res pics of the case w/ phone, i'd be grateful.

Thanks for the deal.

I also have the S one and thought it was too thick. Is this one thinner than that one?

My casemate pop started warping so I got this one. Hands down my favorite case now. Fit is great and the buttons are easy to press.

Basically you buy the dye used for clothes & soak your case in it for any given amount of time until you achieve the desired depth of color.
It comes in a liquid:
Or a powder:

Well a few weeks ago I purchased a Duck Tape Sheet (8.5" x 11") in chrome & attempted to use that to cover my back battery door. Unfortunately my exacto knife was so dull that the edges came out all crappy.
You can find these sheets in various colors and patterns for about $1.99 at Michaels craft store or some office supply stores. just make sure you have a sharp cutting tool lol.
You can also use adhesive drawer liner contact sheets but those come in a whole roll & that may be more then you need.

White phone owners does the chrome ring wear off by time???

Please some one let me know because at the moment i use it with the invisible shield its been like a week since i got my phone i was so happy with the phone but i see little scratches and the color fading in that silver chrome ring around it

I wouldn't get rid of the white phone just because of that. Keep it dude. The white IMO looks way sexier then the black one. When you look at a black GS2 from far away it looks like a normal phone, some even think its a regular gs1 or gs1 4g. whereas when people see the white gs2 they actually ask what phone it is and it looks nice etc...
Also it looks really cool at night (the backlight leaks more in the white)
The shiny portions are determined to come off. you can't do nothing about it. Unless you get those rubber gel cases.

Glad you chose to stick w the white one. Good choice!
I'll see if the coating on the silver bar comes off and exposes a shiny silver instead.
Believe it or not my previous device had similar material in the battery door and that thing scratched like a cat was going at it. So I decided to scratch the coating off w my nails at work one day took me an hour or two but bam it revealed a shiny back door that doubled as a mirror!

iLuv S3 layover clear case (PICTURES)

I am still awaiting my phone but now have all my accessories. My iLuv layover "white" case came in today. I was really interested in it when I first saw it, but there were very little pictures to go by so I thought I would take some pictures that gave a better idea. Until I get a phone to put in it, I figured this was all I could really do. I will update once I get my phone (waiting for it from Best buy/verizon) and can take more detailed pictures.
I wasn't sure how they could get away with charging $12 for shipping. After seeing the box it came, which could have also fit a pair of nike running shoes, I now understand why! This could have easily been shipped in a padded envelope and would have cut down on the cost!

FIFY...

I was sitting around and thinking to myself...."I paid a lot for this case. it is pretty slick and want to keep it looking nice."
I got the xtremeguard full skins on the 75% off deal. (I got 4 actually). at the price I got them for, I figured it wouldn't matter if I wasted one. So, I installed a back protector on the iluv case for a little extra grip and in hopes to keep it looking good. so far it is sticking pretty good. if it sticks, I may keep it on, if not...ehh oh well. I'll take some more picts of that tomorrow if it stays looking good.

that looks like a cover that goes a bit further on the top and bottom, perhaps allowing for a bit more protection. seems nice

is this case available in Europe?

iLuv review

Yeah, saw that before i ordered. Good info but it seems to be the only info available.

OP, are you using this case on a white or blue S3? I would love to see what it looks on a blue S3.

It looks great. I would like to see it on the phone first. Seems like it doesn't cover the top or bottom of the phone in front.

Wrong IMO. I stayed away from totally clear for one reason. Clear cases look nice at first. Then after months of sliding around on the contact points, those points become scratched. Now you have part of the case that looks nice and the rest which is all scratched and appears dirty.

Mine just arrived. Here it is on a Pebble Blue S III. I will be exchanging the phone for a white one, but I wanted to post pics for anyone interested in this case with a blue phone.
The case feel very nice and is nice and slim. It also wraps around the corners just enough to provide decent protection. There's no lip to really speak of on the front so the case won't protect your phone if you leave it faced down. That's either a positive or a negative depending on how you like your cases.
Anyhow, here are the pics. Enjoy.

I found something similar for about $10 shipped, will post pics once it arrives

Does it feel good in the hand, I'm waiting patiently for mine XD

I got the black one for my pebble blue S3, and I am kinda bugged by the contrast between the black of the cover and the blue of the phone. I had thought it wouldn't be too big of a difference, but the black makes the blue very obvious.
I'm thinking of ordering a version from here:
http://cnn.cn/shop/samsung-i9300-ga...ith-black-leather-insert-p-15920.html#gal1/0/
That has a blue border around the black leather to get it to blend better.

I just ordered this one. I already have in black and LOVE IT!
