where did you get this white carbon back cover?
I just purchased a role of this stuff then cut it with a razor blade and blow dryer to make the material more compliant.
I'm gonna tell you what I think....
I think you should sale it to me

No fair... you tell us you bought a roll of it and DIY'd it without saying where you picked up a roll. Also, is it true carbon fibre or some sort of embossed plastic? either way both colors look great... I vote yes!
Was going to do the same thing with red CF material! Happy to know it looks awesome. The guys that tinted my windows have a ton of this stuff, you guys asking might check places like that, or vinyl shops.
It looks better then the one from Phantom Skinz. Too bad I don't have enough time/patience to do it myself. I ended up picking up the whole carbon fiber skin for $17 shipped.

carbon fiber is black. if it was white fiber, it's probably fiberglass, though it'd probably end up clear after curing, or nylon/polyester.
Both are sexy as hell!
it's carbon fiber vinyl you guys can buy rolls of this stuff
it looks awesome.
Looks damn fine

Put me down for one this sounds awesome. Our backs are the same as the i9000 so theres that community as well
Interested.
Are you sure about the carbon fiber not interfering with signal? I had a look at the LG Secret and it is a carbon fiber battery cover, but it does not cover the whole backside of the phone. There is a space at the top and bottom of it that isn't covered in carbon fiber, and for all we know that might be where the antennas reside.

I found the power and volume buttons are improved to help people to press in sweet armor bumper, but taurus gives more alternative colours
Any suggestion???

I am using the Taurus Version, and Yellow. Love it.
The contour of the case and and design, fits like a GLOVE!!

Do these things actually protect well? I feel like the impact would be transferred to the device more so than a TPU/silicone case. Sure they look nice, but I don't feel like they are practical.

When I got it, it was installed by a friend of mine, the in between the case and phone, have a silicone cushion build on the case. The phone do budge or move at all.
I guess the silicone cushion is made for shock absorption.
The Taurus looks nice but damn if they make that sweet one in Gunmetal gray I'm getting it!

Got all sorts of Color!! Including GUN Metal!! Its worth it, I do not feel the extra Weight to it!!
Just want to know, is this taurus case can be fitted with SGP TOugh Case's Silicon Protector? Anyone ever try it?
aren't metal cases really bad for your phone? i heard it heats it up like no other.

Something like Taurus isnt a full case but a bumper.
The battery cover isnt covered by metal, so it wont heat at all.

I meant if Sweet Armor comes in Gunmetal lol! I know Tauras has gunmetal . thanks tho!
Anyone know where you can order the sweet armor one online? I can't seem to find it on google at all, might be using the wrong search codes though but still. I do like the gunmetal taurus one as well.
Also, how do the buttons feel on the taurus once applied?
Hey guys,
I was wondering with the case on, can you still take off the back cover? like sometimes the phone crashes and if you cant then it would suck !!
Looking to purchase a sweet armor one from Gmarket.
http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=216196087
but does this fit a international Samsung Galaxy S2?
that makes sense. i suppose that'll look pretty good
are they really made with metal?
i prefer the yellow one. it looks so cute.
but the blue one looks so cool. just like a robot~~

kinda like that But you shouldnt drop your phone anyway. Its better to break a 20-30$ bumper than a 600$ phone
I have a taurus one at the moment, if I drop it and it break, ill just go with a walnut one. Im using it because it fit with the 3200-3500mA battery. If I could get an otterbox for extended battery I would, but they wont make one

Can anyone suggest a white case that won't get discolored? White phones don't get dirty/discolored from normal use so there must be a case that won't either. Here's my white mercury case and you can see its gotten discolored in a week. I've tried cleaning with lots of different things but nothing works. So any case suggestions would be appreciated. Or should I just give up and get a black one.

Problem is , most companies make cheap cases, and that means cheap coloring whether its in the mold or the finish. I suggest looking for a white molded case made out of PVC, if that's possible. Cheap finishes especialy white will always fade or discolor.
Go with black !
Maybe someone else has had better luck, hope you find what you need.

I have the white cruzer lite.
nice case but I regret buying white. I played golf last week and use golfshot. Big mistake. The andy android fellow got all dirty and discolored. I was able to wash it off with bleach spray. However now I am noticing that the corners are getting blue lines on them, from what I think is from my jeans. Not sure, but it wont come off.
While its not entirely white, I do use the SGP Neo Hybrid, white and it hasnt gotten dirty. I cut out the back, as someone on XDA did as well, and I love it. See pics from Rootzwiki i posted:

I also ordered the Rigke Slim for the LTE Galaxy Nexus in white. It should ship today, and Ill post back how it handles dirt. I work in Construction and my phones are always exposed to getting their share of dirt/mud/mortar etc.

idont think its the dies so much as the materials. A lot of plastics yellow.. especialy when exposed to uv. and especially when white.
I know where your coming from. I have a white case as well. i think white looks good with the nexus. (wish i knew about the white nex coming to vz before i bought mine 16 days ago)
check wikipedia on plastics as far as i know only abs does not yellow. I think pvc is pretty good as well. so what ever case you buy look up the material its made with and check if it discolors...
good luck and when you do find one.. post your results here!

Hey,
bc of a crack at the light sensor I decided to get a complete new housing and I'd like to have it made of carbon.
Did anyone ever see something like this?
And I'm not talking about this fake carbon, which is printed plastic....
Best regards
no, never seen something like that.. But I'm curious to the result!
no there isnt anything like that i think the only way to get a carbon housing is to scase and have it made by carbon fiber if u can some1 to manifacrute it for ul...choose a And it will be quite expensive.

Your right.
New phone would cost about same amount as one carbon fiber housing.
You could buy some carbon fibre tape and cover your phone in that sure there's a video on youtube showing how to do it but can't remember what phone was used.

ow, my bad....
Alright guys, I recently purchased and otterbox commuter for my LGOG and honestly, its growing on me. Originally it looked kind of weird, but now that I look at it, I kind of like it. We've all seen an otter box before so no real surprises, its just black lol. The reason I got it was because originally, I was using the LG Bumper and everything was fine until one night, I dropped the phone at work and the case bent a little bit. The phone was still pristine, but the drop kind of put everything into perspective for me. I have insurance through best buy, but still...lol
As far as adding bulk, its not TOO bad, but you definitely notice the added weight (I like it) and its a little harder to use with one hand. I mean, what do you expect? Its an otter box. Its a very tight and secure fit all around and pretty easy to install perfectly. You know how some otterboxes look like the don't fit? Like...the silicone is all bent outta shape? Idk...I can't explain it.
At any rate, I picked mine up new for $23 from eBay and I recommend it to anyone who doesn't want to lose this amazing phone.
Also, I'm gonna spray paint mine because the black on black on black is just too basic for me. I'm thinking about going with a red but I'm not sure. Any recommendations?
