Provides better critical coverage than other skins
So here's the installation-

Align the camera hole, before pressing down make sure everything lines up to your liking
Press out any air bubbles with your fingers, smoothing out the surface
The speaker cover is next, align the speaker and make sure it is center. This piece should be about 1mm away from the battery door.
After you smooth that bottom part down, continue onto the sides using the same procedure. Align it about 1mm away from the battery door and press to stick it on.
Next do the sides that are closest to the screen. You'll want to align the skin with the volume rocker, then work your way onto the sides. This should be flush with the screen.
Now for the bottom piece, align the charging port hole. This piece should be about 1mm away from the front screen.
For the top, align the small notch to the little opening for the battery door. This piece should be flush with the front screen.
The last piece, the front, is optional. I would not recommend using it if you have a screen protector as there is a possibility of it lifting the screen protector up if you ever need to remove the skin. Align the camera hole and speaker.
Here's the finished product, turned out well and was done in less than 5 mins. Take your time and you can get it near perfect. Do note that we did not use a heat gun as it was not needed.
It looks ugly at the bottom corners. But thanks for the pics.

I like the blue color, but otherwise it's a bit too plain for me. Also, I don't like that you can still see the Verizon logo faintly through the skin.
Whoa way to rip of an existing brand name... I wonder if XO Skins knows about these guys?

The brushed steel blue is a thinner material which is why you can see the logo.

Two completely different companies. XO sells screen protectors. Two completely different names too.

Any chance we could get some pictures of the brushed titanium and brushed aluminum, that sounds like EXACTLY what I would be looking for.
I am coming from a DX2, and while the phone sucked, it was nice feeling the metal, made me feel safe, lol
Thanks in advance!

Yes that's the Brushed Aluminum however it is the old design. I have sent out a bunch of colors for review so I'll be sure to put that video on here once completed.
Any idea when any of these reviews are coming? I am really leaning towards the skinomi skin right now but have been hoping this product would win me over.
Is the titanium translucent like the blue? Does it feel plasticy or like real metal?
Answers appreciated! Thanks!

Did a little search, didn't see a similar thread.
I love my Captivate, and have been looking into ways to make it better constantly; be it software or hardware. I recently picked up a decal skin off of ebay, and wanted to share.
I love the color red; a lot of the things I carry around are red. Captivate didn't come in red so I settled with black... until I bought a decal skin from Wireless Flavor on ebay.

So I think it'd be neat for everyone to post up their Captivate, a brief explanation of where they got their skin etc., and perhaps a mini review.
As for my purchase, I like it. I didn't want something much thicker as I liked the slim profile, but I wanted to protect against scratches as well. There's a slight bump on the back due to the Galaxy S logo, but I don't mind it. Are there any plain plastic backs that can be bought?
Lets get posting!
Looks like I need to visit iskinit.com and remake my bruce lee decal again.... (like what I had on my N1)
do the bottom soft keys still work as good as without the decal on it?

They're not as sensitive, so you need to apply a little more pressure when using them. I don't mind it, I found myself more annoyed before when I'd accidentally tap the wrong key.

Yeah, it's just a regular decal skin from ebay.
The screen isn't protected no... I'm not sure if I can actually fit a screen protector with the red skin. I try to be careful in general and have only noticed small scratches thus far, and only when tilted at the right angle in bright light. I might regret it later... but I figure by that time I'll just upgrade to a new phone.

Yeah plus if you notice when your applying them I don't like putting all much of the solution down that the screen protector starts to stretch and then I end up having to come back in with a razor to clean up the edges.

Although I like my phone as it is, I am desperate to get rid of the "Samsung" at the bottom (would like it unbranded). I have an Otterbox Defender case which covers the AT&T at the top but not the brand name at the bottom.
Can you tell me if these stickers would work fine? Since I use a case which covers most of the phone I was planning to get either the gradient blue or jet black and apply only the front decal.
hello guys,
I just bought a S2 recently and its the black one (got it off craigslist) and i was wondering. is there anyway I can make it white? (like the one on sprint.com 's homepage). I love the white one and would love to have my phone white.. is there a way to do it and is it worth it?.. thanks!
I dont think they sell any colored shell or battery door replacement sets like they do for iphone 4 to customize the phone unless you wanna go Oreo and order a white battery door

That's awesome looking, I am going to order a black and a white version and see what it looks like... I can't decide whether to go with matte or glossy though.... the matte looks pretty cool so I think I will go with that
Are the cutouts on the capacative buttons noticeable when the decal is over them because I don't intend to take them off...

Yes in regards to your question about the shell of the phone. I have mind with a White screen, black back housing with White battery door... I call mine the Kung Fu Panda s2..I will attach a link for pictures of my device...

you'd have to be actively looking for the cutouts in order to see them, and the tinted glow through the decal looks pretty cool

it'll basically protect from little scratches here and there, it's mainly for cosmetic purposes
it feels like it's gonna last awhile, i tested it going in and out of my tpu cases and "naked" in and out of my pocket
pretty good for 10 bucks
and here's a little tip, heat the edges with a blow dryer(or any fan blowing heat)
it helps to give the edges a better seal

Finding the OEM parts, though not the easiest of things, is by far easier then having to tear down the device and install the needed pieces.
So if your not up to or technically inclined to perform such a task, then one is probably better off approaching a less invasive procedure.
The battery door is no problem, it's the front screen portion that takes a lot of careful work.
Looks like someone is selling the back cover and battery cover, not the face plate though. Could make for a nice combo look, priced right
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...Accessories&hash=item231950e88b#ht_500wt_1413
using the silver bezel with the black phone comes out nicer than mixing the black with the white IMO

Recently converted my black e4gt to a panda-esque; black face, white back with the white e4gt's silver edge.
Fyi, silver from the white version with black face and black battery cover is cool too...

I recently got an SGP Ultra Hybrid in Purple/Yellow and I'd like to share my review of it with the XDA community. Overall, I can easily say this is one of the best cases available in the market for the GSM Galaxy Nexus. The quality, fit, and finish is just absolutely stellar. You can find my full video review below along with some pictures of the case.

Yea, unfortunately SGP's Gnex cases are only designed for the GSM Nexus. The fit on my GSM nexus is barely tight so I would imagine putting a Verizon version in there would not fit too well. More so with an extended battery.
I have the black one. Everything is OK except that the case makes the buttons very very very sensitive. This is a very annoying "feature" to me.

I have the black one as well and I too find the buttons was to sensitive, so I used a very sharp knife and trimmed off the tabs that are on the inside of the buttons on the case. This makes it a lot better.

Yea, that's true, but for me it doesn't really get in the way for my usage. I guess it just really depends on the type of user. I also prefer having my buttons protected and covered.
I really wish they would have put a different color other than yellow. Actually like the purple but the yellow ruins the case.

Yea, I understand it may not be everyone's favorite color combo, but what can you do I guess.
Thats the same case i've been using in the same colors and i like it!!!
Sure yellow and purple is lakers., and yellow does get dirty but i just use an eraser and erase the yellow back and like new!!!!
I have it with the extended, dropped my phone.. and the case saved it. Not pretty fond of the combo, but it is nice to see someone with exactly the same case as i.
I have the black one too. Its survived many drops and is a still slim fit so its not bulky. I don't mind the extra sensitive buttons, I find the power button too hard to press anyway.
->Really good case.
I have the blue one. I actually love how easy and responsive the buttons are.
It's definitely the best case that I've ever bought in terms of striking a balance between aesthetics and protection.

There's 4 colors I believe. You can find all of them here.
And unfortunately, I don't have pictures with the external battery because I don't have one.
Does anyone have the all black one? I'd love to see a few HQ pics. I hate shiny black but this does look cool. Any scratching from the hard plastic?
Has anyone tried using a fine razor blade to cut out the buttons on the case? My only gripe with the case is that the covers over the buttons force the case to bow out very slightly around the edge of the phone just above where the buttons are. Aside from that the case is perfect.

I have the full black one and I love it. It fits like the Rearth Ringke Slim case but also protects the sides better, which I like. The overall finish is flat but not rubbery so i have no issues sliding it in and out of my pocket. I'll try to get some pics up tonight when I get my GF's camera.
Hello everyone. I just got a Speck case in gray/black and thought I'd throw some comparison photos up. So far I love my Speck case.
The Speck case was a little tight around the volume key, which made it hold the volume up button down. I slipped a piece of paper in above the volume key and now it functions perfectly. Hopefully it'll stretch out with time and allow me to take the paper out. I'll keep you guys updated. The Speck case is a little bit more bulky than the Cruzerlite, but feels more solid.
The Cruzerlites were a little sharp around the edges which peeled my screen protector (Flex HD) up. I sanded them down a little, which fixed the issue, but i managed to scuff the inside of the back up a little. That's what the line around the top corner is in a few of the pictures.

I'm getting a blue S3 and wanted the dark grey case at first and waited for it to appear on their site as available for a week which it never did so the light gray with pebble blue out lines grew on me after visiting the site so much so I ordered it last night lol

I got the clear/white Android cruzerlite case and the Cimo case.
I can't really recommend the Cimo case, but the Cruzerlite ones are awesome. Adds just enough grip and protection without turning the phone into a huge oversized brick. (I accidentally dropped my sgs3 about 3.5' getting out of the Jeep and it just bounced - no damage to the phone or case. And they have just enough lip on the face to protect it when you set it down on mostly-flat surfaces.) Someone was telling me they are made in the USA, which is an added bonus if true.
I love those Speck cases, but I swear your "grey/black" looks different from the "soot/black" photos elsewhere. Maybe just the lighting or because it's on a white phone.
I do believe I'll have to run into my local ATT store this weekend and pick one up.
Where did you get the clear matte one? I cant find it on amazon, i found the teal but not the,clear matte. Would you guys say get the diztronic clear matte or cruzerlite?

Actually, made in China (all accessories like this are, labor is simply too expensive in the US), however we are a small US business based in Murfreesboro, TN. You can read more about us here: http://www.cruzerlite.com/cruzerlite-team
Thanks for being a customer, glad you are enjoying our products!

I was in Murfreesoboro last weekend...I am just curious how much this protects the screen if dropped?
Thanks
Here are some photos of the speck and cruzerlite on a blue S3

There is a bit of a lip, about 1mm.

Hello everyone. I just got a Speck case in gray/black and thought I'd throw some comparison photos up. So far I love my Speck case.
The Speck case was a little tight around the volume key, which made it hold the volume up button down. I slipped a piece of paper in above the volume key and now it functions perfectly. Hopefully it'll stretch out with time and allow me to take the paper out. I'll keep you guys updated. The Speck case is a little bit more bulky than the Cruzerlite, but feels more solid.

Thank you SOOO much. I was mad when my Speck case came in today and the volume rocker was sticking. That tip worked perfectly. I used scotch tape and it did the trick.

The Cruzerlites were a little sharp around the edges which peeled my screen protector (Flex HD) up. I sanded them down a little, which fixed the issue, but i managed to scuff the inside of the back up a little. That's what the line around the top corner is in a few of the pictures.

I'm having the same problem with my case peeling up my flex hd. I may try sanding as well.

I just found a Nillkin Nexus 5 case on eBay. I really enjoyed my Nillkin Nexus 4 case. I'll be posting a review of it once it makes it to my doorstep from China. I'm purchasing it because of the unfortunately sharp edges on the spiegen ultra fit case I tried first. (Don't buy that spiegen case! You'll be sorry)
Edit: Alright, I finally got my case. It's great. Feels just like the case I loved so much on my N4. The edges aren't too sharp like the spiegen I had. The back texture is nice. It feels like rubber coated plastic. If you guys want any pictures or want me to try anything with it, just let me know.

Mine came like this with a screen protector too...
Lastly, here it is for $7.77 (lucky, eh?).
They also come in gold and red which I don't have pictures of here.
Thank you! I was waiting for Nillkin to make a case for the Nexus 5. I have it for my Nexus 4 and I simply love the build quality.
Have one for my LG, excellent case. Just ordered one for the Nexus 5 as well. Highly recommend this.
Looks cool, and the price is right. Bought a white one.
Is it a rubber or plastic material?
Wow that case looks really nice gonna order one pretty soon i think.

From what my Nexus 4 case is like (same manufacturer) it feels like soft rubber on the outside and a little harder on the inside. I think it's probably all rubber though. Maybe it's rubber coated plastic? I'd highly recommend it whatever it is based off of my previous experience. If this is like the other one, it holds the phone slightly off of the table if you have it screen down too.
^ I didn't have a problem with yellowing because I got black last time :laugh:
Loved their case on my Nexus 4. Will definitely get this
How well are the top and bottom protected? It's hard to tell from the pictures but it looks like if the phone was dropped on an end you'd have some damage?

You're probably right. If the phone were dropped on the back top or back bottom it would probably be okay, but it doesn't offer much protection for the front. It's mainly a scratch protector for those that don't drop their phone often.
Im going to order one today also. Was hoping Rock also had their cases out but doesnt matter. Can always buy one when they do!!
Was going to grab a white one for my white phone but I do think it will go yellow after time, as mentioned earlier in this thread.
Logic says go white for white phone, but either way, the back is going to be covered by the case so what difference. Maybe ill go a gold case for a change?

I think it's brown (just don't want you to be disappointed). I mean, it's $9... if it yellows... just buy another? Of course it's all up to you

Will get one of these when they come out on Amazon.

Been using a Nillkin Case since I purchased my Nexus 4. It survived several drops since then. You can't go wrong with this one.

Maybe the company is following the Apple path, You are dropping it wrong.
Thanks flyingv and gravity. I just bought the black auto awake / flip case. It looks awesome.
