I just redid my battery door. I used super user and android decal, then covered them with 3m di-noc carbon fiber vinyl.
That's pretty sweet!
I want one!
Very nice!

Before laying down the di-noc did you sand down the texturing on the battery door? Where did you pick up the decals? Will post pics next weekend of the door in silver, after I replace my girlfriend's hair dryer. (For some reason she won't let me use hers on projects anymore)

I just sanded the Sprint and Samsung logo. I bought the decals on eBay. I post the seller I bought them from later.
I want to try the Alsa stretchable chrome next.

I did not seal the edges. I did have clean edges with alcohol, because the edges would get fuzz.
Here is the Ebay seller I bought the decals from. I bought the small 2 pack decals.

My hood is carbon fiber, as is my trunk lid. Run your hands across it, and you can't feel the weave because of the coating that's on it. I haven't seen the case, but I wonder if it's like this?

I road race motorcycles and its understandable that carbon fiber on vehicles ha a coat on it because of rock chips and stuff. My race bike has plenty of carbon fiber on it but has a coat on it because of rock chips sand and tiny debris that might hit. The case though not carbon fiber is a damn good knock off.....

You did say it was real carbon fiber, and there were other nards who knew nothing of the subject who wanted to chime in and say it was real and felt real.
We just want to let you know it is not real and nowhere near the real thing.

Kind of like how stunting is not real riding? Go do a track day son. Kidding its takes a little skill.
Have you ever felt un molded carbon fiber? just a sheet?
Probably not that why you say its not close
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Jesus. Two pages of crap.
Let me clarify.
The case IS NOT carbon fiber. Its hard plastic. It is not very thick and its a pretty sweet little case IMO. It maintains a very sleek profile for as thin of a phone as it is attached to and helps to hold while doing whatever.
Its a great buy IMO and I WOULD purchase again.
they just released A case/belt clip combo for $29.99. i need to check it out. i heard its a great case

Ha, not a stunter, just the occasional standup at the dedicated stunt lot.
I am in AET 378 (Composites class) Right now and I actually just got done doing a carbon fiber layup... The fake fiber on that case is far too large, its molded and its not even a composite.. its just plastic. My roommate has the case. Its not a bad case its just a little thick for my liking. Maybe in a couple weeks I was going to make a real carbon fiber case for my phone so it would be a little thinner. I just gotta check and see if the plastic on the phone is compatible with the epoxy resin that I will be using.
To answer the OP's question: no there is no holster case out yet that will fit the phone with the case on it. The case although thin still makes the phone too thick for the holster cases.
PS: not an expert or road racer, but im pretty sure its not real carbon fiber.

It would be nice if that were an extra back cover. The problem i think for some people is not wanting to mess up or add thickness to the cover they already own.
Check Ebay they make a white device now, so there has to be OEM white back covers floating around too

There..but damn its expensive.

That looks like its just a spray paint of the original back. I did that with the vibrant but it was a non textured back so the spraypaint would stick pretty well. Even with the clear coat it still wore off pretty fast. I am guessing this is a back yard job so while it looks good now the paint will crack etc. Its hard to get the paint thickness to coverage ratio just right. around the camera area the paint started to crack on my vibrant one.
also says new and in the package haha.

The white t989 does not have a textured back but a smooth hi-gloss finish. I have the white one so I can confirm that this is true.

I never said the white cover isn't smooth, I said that the Titanium back cover is textured. Which would make it difficult to spray paint it to look smooth.

I have been waiting for the White to go back in stock at Amazon. I didnt want to buy from a 3rd party.
I went ahead and ordered the Black today and I will decide if I am going to cancel the White order when I get the Black one tomorrow.
I hate waiting just to find out I don't like something.:cyclops:
I had an Amazon return last week. It took 4 days from the time I gave the UPS guy my return until the money was back in my account. can't beat that if you have Prime.

I need a screen protector that covers the entire front of the phone, so that nothing is exposed. I work machining metal and would easily mess up any uncovered area. I'm still using my Otterbox defender for work, I want to use this case at all times but not until I find a screen protector that covers the entire front of the screen.

The front lip is slightly smaller than the defender, but still offers very good protection.

This. Aside from the average screen protector provided, this case is sexier, thinner, and more ergonomic in my hands than any of the otterboxs. The smooth matte finish is fantastic with great grips on the side to make sure you have a nice grasp of your phone.
I think eventually, since this screen protector does not curve at the edges, nor does it completely cover the screen, I will purchase a higher grade protector for that final bit of comfort. This is a fantastic case that guards the phone at every angle.
My heart still wants a UAG though..

It's the same as the cover the galaxy note has just white and black instead of dark blue.
I've bought it since I hate those cases which makes my phone twice as thick.
It's not good for sony product.
Maybe just a case is better way.
