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.

That red decal skin looks awesome! I assume that was a store on ebay and not an one time offer sort of deal? Id love to have something like that.
Oh and is the screen protected or is it just a hole for where the screen is?

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.

That looks awesome!!!!!
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.
Anybody find a kit yet? I would like to convert my black casing to a white one. It just looks so damn sexy! Post up if you find one. I know i'm not the only one that wants to so this.

Probably Keep an eye on cnn.cn
They sell bodies and oem swap kits.

I'm not sure the technical aspect of what you just said however I'll try to answer as best I can.
GH is a skin film that goes over your phone to protect it from scratches, nicks etc.
It comes with a clear film that goes on the front also and acts as a screen protector as well
You guys can learn more about it from their site. Just google their name & you'll easily find it!
any news of these going on ebay?

Sounds good
I doubt that there will be any housing for our version of galaxy s2 anytime soon.
There's not a single oem housing or after market for the black, so chances are when you're tired of this phone, they might have something for it.
I've had both the black and white, and I had to stay with the white to get the free offer, and I prefer the black one. For one, the light doesn't bleed in the front buttons, second, the white is completely smooth. So it slides off everything. I like the texture of the black one. Plus the black gives the phone a smooth look. The white clearly points out where the screen ends.

In case you cannot tell it is a white screen with the original black back(I dont like the silver one) and a white battery cover.
I don't like the silver either, but that's too much black looks good tho

Also, i asked my SRSS, and he confirmed that since it's a new SKU, the 60 day rule applies...and then proceeded to inform me that so long as we got the return box sealed on Sunday, auditors won't be able to see it on Monday lol.

are you asking where to get a screen, or how to replace the screen?
As far as where, you'll have to do some searching around. Sprint techs like us have the luxury of harvesting screens off returned phones (normally used for repairs)...but epic screens are generally so far and few between i doubt you'd find a tech willing to sell one to you.
If you're asking how, that's easy. Unscrew the six screws underneath the battery cover. Then using a really thin piece of plastic or even your fingernails, begin to pry the area where the bezel meets the glass down both sides and the top (the bezel-back-frame almost fits like a cap on the screen). Then just lift the bezel-frame from the screen in an out then down motion (basically, the top separates first, then you'll have to go down and out to get the bottom part off; you don't want to pry the bottom part straight out so as not to damage the charging port). During this, you'll likely see your headset jack move with the frame, that's ok because it moves pretty freely inside.
Once inside, you'll see two flat Phillips head screws, unscrew those. You won't need to unscrew the third tiny one in the upper right hand corner. There are several cables (3 or 4) that are plugged into ports, just unplug them, nothing fancy. Just make sure you look closely so you don't miss one. Then, the motherboard (which is roughly shaped like an "L" ) just lifts up. Reverse directions to put in a new screen. Easy squeezy lemon Japanesey.

its smooth.
also, the tech at my store is planning on getting the white E4GT, removing the gray, and painting it (he hasnt decided on red or blue). depending on how that goes, i may be doing the same. a nice candy apple red with some metal flake in place of the gray would be gorgeous IMO. i think the gray looks like cheap, crappy plastic
EDIT: ill post back with pictures once he's done, and if i do mine
If painting your phone makes you wary or one lacks skills to attempt such a task I believe you can also purchase self adhesive colored skins as well.

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

Fyi, silver from the white version with black face and black battery cover is cool too...

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.

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?

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?

Oh awesome! I haven't looked around again for some. I'll post it in the original so people can find it if they want. Thanks for the find!
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.

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.

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.
