WHITE PROTECTION DECAL SKIN FOR SAMSUNG CAPTIVATE i897
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300452710223&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
I didn't put the white over over the screen because I don't think you can see the backlight on the buttons once it's on.
Everything is else is good protecting against unwanted scratches on the body
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5F-PLBFv8c
I just upload it so it may still be processing and the quality might be ugly.
Yo skills, with that one-handed cover reattachment.
But what is this elite matrixness?
are you talking about the live wallpaper? it's called 3d matrix, you can find it in the market for free
My captivate had this skin when I bought it. It covered all areas of the phone very well, but the white skin is ultra bright white. The vendor offers other colors & patterns if white isn't your thing

I always wanted a white captivate and saw the same type for iPhone.
Thanks for sharing
This site has basically the same skins, but many options with wall papers to match the skin. High gloss or matte finish, $2 more, option also. They even have a customization option.

Anybody use them? Like to know how the OP's skin holds up or these. I can't use my case with the Samsung car dock but these will solve that problem.
I don't care for cases either....or skins. meh I only need two years out of a phone..scratches don't bug me.

I ordered the FC Camo one for my phone and I got it today in the matte finish...I like it and the only thing that bothers me is that there is not side pieces included in the kit, so everything is covered except for the sides....the vinyl is thick and adheres well to the phone and it is easy to mold and strech/shrink so that you get the fit you want

18 months is enough for me, then I upgrade. However I still like to know that under the cover, the phone looks like new for when i want to show it off
without the back piece and front piece the skin looks a bit like something out of tron. just the bright hilight around the edge. if i could find some glow in the dark material and do the same thing like that.. well really it would just make me a total nerd but im ok with that. of coase some tron like themeing would have to go with that!
Got my carbon and finally isntalled it. Had all of the pieces and went smooth. Modded it where the 4 buttons are at so I could see and use them easier. Nice skins and works in my Samsung car dock with no issues.
Can. You post some photosphoto's

Anyone know were i can buy battery cover door for sprint samsung galaxy s2 epic 4g ?
I am looking for different colors back or aluminum .. I see them on ebay but none says sprint epic 4g ?
will these fits or not ?
thanks
I like to have a spare OEM battery cover just in case mine breaks a tab or something.
The last one I saw was sold on Ebay for $18.50.
I haven't looked for one in a couple of weeks, but they were not readily available
anywhere.
I'll try looking again.
If it doesn't say it's for the SE4GT for Sprint, it won't fit, and/or won't have the proper script on it.
Thanks - wish they can make them for sprint epic 4g there are so many for the other version..
Thanks will see if my local sprint store have any ....
I'd like to know this too. Love the phone, hate the build quality. A snazzy soft touch or aluminum battery door / case would be rad.
Regarding the build quality, that may just be perception, and not reality.
It may feel flimsy because it is light, and not made of titanium and other exotics.
But if you think about it, it's got to be made to withstand every day happenings, which I feel it does.
Why can't they make aluminum doors for s2 epic ? there are millions for ATT and T mobile but non for epic 4g
They should make it compatible for certain hardware like doors - batteries - etc

If you want to change the look of your battery cover you could pick up a sample of 3M Di-Noc off of eBay. Check out a couple of videos on YouTube about the stuff.
I'm also wanting an aluminum battery cover, maybe a carbon fiber weave...

Sorry 3M Di-Noc off?????? huh? can u explain....
3M Di-Noc... think of it as a bad ass phone skin. Its primary use is on import tuner cars to give practically any surface a carbon fiber texture and feel. Multiple colors and super easy to work with. They warranty the stuff in automotive applications against fade and adhesion. Seriously there are many clips on YouTube of people playing with thus stuff.

I've never delved in to the dark world of skins. Do they get nasty over time? Leave a sticky residue on the phone if/when you remove them? Will they "wow" the ladies?

It certainly is a more sustainable option vs. plastic or aluminum IF it offers the same function and performance. But in the meantime, we have cases that look like wood

1. No they dont get nasty. I have one on my galaxy tab 10.1 and it still looks good to me. If they do look nasty to you then you can probably just wipe it down with a damp paper towel or whatever and it should look as good as new.
2. No sticky residue either, it is much like peeling off a screen protector, if you do find some residue left over just a quick wipe and it would come off.
3. Depends on what kind of wood they are looking for...

Hey all,
Have there been any (other) custom battery covers for the Gnex? I've seen and read the following:
* the limited edition - Looks like LV, not really into that
* the one in MWC - smooth, blank, but custom crystal designs. I was actually interesting in finding a blank one... Never found any.
* White cover - from white Gnex. Don't think it will go well on the "titanium silver Gnex"
* 3rd party metal backs - problems with NFC and GPS. Was planning to get them until I heard these problems
Ideally, I want a black plastic one (without that texture at the back, just smooth)... matte or gloss would be fine. Does anything like this even exist or would you guys just recommend getting a decal? Is there an option to only get the back cover section? I don't plan to cover the whole phone.

Saw it once, but slipped my mind I like the texture, but was really looking for a more "plain" design. Think this one will come the closest to me wants so far though.
Looks like I might just need to get some decals, interesting find while browsing your suggested thread:

Ebay had a few knockoffs of the limited edition Google battery cover for a little while. If you want a black version, I would say keep your eye on ebay and just grab one of those knockoffs, then paint it with vinyl dye.
Neither Samsung nor any third parties have ever developed a plain battery cover for the Galaxy Nexus. You either get the stock textured battery cover, or one of the Google or Docomo limited covers. Personally I went through the extra work and expense to import a Docomo limited cover for my Galaxy Nexus. The texture feels great and I love the design, so for me it was well worth it.

The only way to get them is to buy them through auction sites in Japan, but to even buy and have them shipped you need to be a Japanese resident. Since I'm not a resident, I signed up for an account with Shopping Mall Japan, where they act as a middleman to allow U.S. residents to purchase goods from Japanese auctions. It takes a few weeks to complete the whole process and can end up being pretty costly, but in all I paid about $40 (not counting the minimum deposit required by sites like Shopping Mall Japan, so $50 total).
For the auction, I went through Yahoo Japan. A helpful search phrase for the battery door would be something like "SC-04D プレミアムキャンペーン リアカバー". Hopefully you have a basic grasp of the Japanese language, otherwise you'll have to rely on Google Translate a lot to find what you're looking for.

Vinyl dye is better if you want just a single flat color and are planning on spending a lot of time handling the parts after spraying. There's no sanding or prep work required, and you only need one coat and it dries within minutes, so there is a very minimal change to the texture of the part compared to painting with several coats. High gloss parts will lose their sheen, but matte parts usually are about the same after spraying.
I would only recommend regular paints to someone who has a lot of experience with painting plastic parts, and if you're not a fan of just a plain, single color.

I just painted my extended battery door with plastic spray paint yesterday. It's still drying, but it looks fine. It's semi-gloss and not the same exact color, but oh well.
I have a white Verizon door coming in that I'll probably trim to fit.

Yes this would be great, especially if the color differences could be highlighted.
A while ago i sanded the original cover and painted it grey because i love the minimalistic look but without the texture at the back it looked cheap
Looks cool, that's pretty much I was looking for. Guess I can just find the cheapest cover on eBay and do this myself .
Can't really see in the pic, but did that turn out glossy or matte?

I will try to take some more pics
if you polished it you will get a glossy and smooth finish, if you didn't it will be rough and almost matte
Look at the second pic you will get orange peel if you didn't polish it and it looks ugly and only visible from an angle
I will post some pics after polishing later
Awesome work

I suggest the poetic atmosphere, I think it's great :good: I don't like cases, but when I don't have a case on my phones they find their way onto the floor pretty often - so I was looking for a minimal one too. (Only dropped the phone once with it on - on tile - still perfect :good

Well damn, looks like I payed almost double for the same stuff... and also got a screen protector which isn't applied yet... not sure if it ever will be.
Here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/281102834962 (clear matte)
It really is thin and almost invisible. Feels good, very different from TPU or silicon cases, it's not rubbery.Small bumps above screen can be useful, only lower side is not protected that much.
There are some small imperfections, but overall, I like it. Got it in only 7 days which is almost unheard of here, so thumbs up for this seller.
I bought a few cheap ones to try, like this one:
