Plasti Dipped GS3

Here's the result of Plasti Dip on the back cover of my Verizon GSIII. I ordered a touchstone charger modded cover and decided to add some "grip" to it. This is 4 coats (starting with very light spray, 15mins between coats). Very happy with the results. Incidentally, the wireless charging still works through the coating - added benefit of sliding around less on the charging dock.

Very nice! I've heard others talk about doing this, but these are the best pictures I've seen of it actually finished. Well done.

Wow that looks amazing, great job.

Did you upgrade the magnets? The ones recommended in the threads are super strong

Thanks everyone! I've wanted to do this as soon as I got the GS3 and nearly dropped it because of the seemingly teflon-slick back cover!
UPDATE: The edges are peeling a little (didn't get as good of coverage as I'd thought). Going to peel and redo the 'dip with more attention to the edges.
"Did you upgrade the magnets? The ones recommended in the threads are super strong"
I didn't upgrade the magnets, but I'm thinking of doing so. My original use for the touchstone dock (with my Sprint Palm Pre!) was in the car and it held up really well. It doesn't seem to have as strong of a hold with the GS3.

Did you have to sand anything down or did you just spray on top of the glossy back cover?

I just cleaned the cover with soap/water, dried well and sprayed directly on.

Looks pretty good

I would assume so, considering plasti-dip is basically a spray paint that is more of a plastic than a paint.
If it does come out horrid after using plasti-dip, you can just peel it off.

It looks really great..good job. It reminded me of someone on the Nexus S thread doing something similiar, but i think your result looks better overall.
Here is the tread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881062

Good idea but I think you will be disappointed in the PlastiDip performance.
I used to be an avid 1911 pistol grip maker and tried a lot of different materials and coatings to make interesting grips.
One of the things I tried was PlastiDip coating of grips. Ultimately, I scrapped the idea due to peeling edges. No matter how well you prepare or how thick (or thin) you apply the spray, the edges will always eventually lift up and peel. The product simply doesn't adhere well enough to stay on an item that will be handled repeatedly. The dip application version of the PlastiDip product is fairly durable by the sheer thickness of the application, but even it still peels at the edges.
Good luck, I hope you have better success than I did with my pistol grips.

Yup! That's the thread that gave me the inspiration to do this. Good find!
I've redone the spray with more attention to the edges and a few more coats. Hope it holds up better than the first go. Will post after a week or so of use with impressions.

i agree, anything being handled constantly the plasti dip will peel at the edges. i know because i did this like 2 months ago, held up great for a week then it began.

Its most likely going to chip

I just did mine two days ago! I posted the pictures on the backplate thread. I haven't had peeling yet do to my bumper. Covers the edges to eliminate that issue.

Air Jacket

We got an Moto X last week and a 2nd one on Monday Sale..
We got a case for the 1st one but it covers up the MotoMaker design.
Like the clear back and the rubber sides.
Any thoughts or feed back?
http://www.motorola.com/us/Air-Jack...-Jacket-Grip-for-Moto-X-by-Power-Support.html

I got one yesterday and I really like it. The rubber on the sides seal up to the bezel really nice and it fits snug. Adds just enough grip to it feel secure holding it (I don't like slippery devices!)
My first case was the clear plastic shell by inCase and I wasn't a fan. The plastic felt really slick & had no grip, and held on to smudges FOREVER. The AirJacket's plastic is a lot easier to wipe clean.

That looks like a really nice case. Even with last week's 30% off though, I couldn't justify that much for a case.

I like the one I got, except for the orange color. Is this odd pastel orange. Good quality though

I found the trick to that.
When putting it on--but the bottom of the phone in first, then slide the top over.
Reverse this for taking it out of the case. (Start at bottom, go to top.)

Anyone know the difference between the InCase clear case and the Air Jacket Clear case? I ordered the Air Jacket one, but haven't seen any reviews except on the InCase one.

I have both of these cases. I ordered the clear InCase with my phone off of the Moto Maker. It fit the phone fairly snug, but it seemed to feel like cheap plastic to me. It would act like a magnet for skin oils and finger prints and then was nearly impossible to get completely clean again. The molding of the edges that grip the phone seems kind of funny, because if you look at it pretty straight on it looks like there are paint chips in the plastic or something. Getting it off the phone always felt impossible, too! The whole thing felt very poorly made.
The Air Jacket I just got is a whole other story. The plastic on the back feels a lot better and doesn't have as much of the issue with finger prints. The rubber on the sides is grippy but not enough to be distracting. I feel a lot more confident holding this phone in my hand as I walk down the street, mainly in that I don't think it might slip out of my hand on accident.
I got the orange Air Jacket to go with my phone's metallic orange accents. The orange on the case is a little brighter and more washed out, but I still think it looks nice. I have a couple photos of both cases attached. Sorry if you are interested in seeing the phone in the clear InCase! I am not motivated enough to go through the hassle of swapping them again!
Edit: My attached photos aren't working for me so I'm guessing its not working for anybody else. Here are some linked photos, instead.

Thanks for the pictures and thoughts. I actually got the clear air jacket case. It doesn't have the rubber bumper, its similar to the incase clear, but supposedly has a self healing plastic. But if you like the clear plastic on the normal air jacket, its probably the same as on the case I ordered.

Nice, just to confirm cause in your pics it looks like it doesn't, but does this case hit the screen at all on the edges? I ask because I am curious if it would cause any screen protectors to lift on the corners like some TPU cases do because they hit the screen.
Thanks

The rubber does not extend past the bezels at all so you should never have that problem. In fact at the edge of the case you can see a tiny bit of the bezel.

Yes, the case will lift the screen up away from the surface its sitting on. I usually place mine face down when I'm at my desk. No problems.

I ordered the Air Jacket Grip from Motorola and one of the anti-glare screen protectors. I think they both fit nicely on the Moto X. Does anyone know if there's a holster solution that works well with this case? I've been back and forth on all my phones between holsters and pocket carry. I was just wondering if Air Jacket made a holster for this case or if I'd have to go generic pouch.

I've been using my moto X with the air jacket case and the brilliant screen protector for about a week now. I'm really liking both. My biggest gripe about screen protectors was the way they felt. My previous ones felt too gummy and made it annoying to use so I would always rock the phone naked. The brilliant is as smooth as the glass. It does attract fingerprints and smudges but they wipe away easily enough.

Thank you..got the phone and the Air Jacket today and love the case!
It matches the Moto Maker Lime Yellow so great mix.
Real comfortable to use and good protection.
With the $350 purchase and 30% accessories it was great value vs the 1st Moto X I got at full price and returned for the difference!

Just put the Air Jacket Grip on my wife's and the regular Air Jacket on mine (they didn't have the color I wanted). Both cases fit very nicely, with minimal bulk, and don't appear to overlap the screen. They wrap just enough of the bezel to keep them firmly in place. Both models are super thin, lightweight, and follow the contours of the phone perfectly. Each has its pros/cons.
The Air Jacket Grip was fairly difficult to attach, and covers the buttons so if you're in love with your accent color, you'll lose some of it. This is offset by the fact that the transparent plastic "transmits" the color of the rubberized grips to all the visible edges of the plastic, so you pick up color accents all around your camera, speaker, and all the other cutouts. Kinda cool fiber-optic-like effect. The other obvious thing is the edge is grippier, but not nearly as much as I expected.
The regular Air Jacket has cutouts for all the buttons, so it doesn't hide the accent color, and is a breeze to attach. It covers much less of the front of the phone too than the grip version, because it doesn't wrap around the top or bottom of the phone. It's also extremely slippery.

I just received my regular Air jacket today and you're absolutely right about it being slippery. I'm glad they designed it to where I can still place my finger in the dimple though.

Got mine and fought like hell to install. Silver is not silver. More like white. Returning.
Also don't like how hard it is to push the buttons.
On to the next. (i have 5 total-mostly cheap one's from amazon)

Found my case finally - very minimalist

Let me state it 1st, I like my N5 naked. It really feels good in my hand, but the hard reality of the world is I will drop it, again. 1st time I was sitting on a chair and put the phone on my leg and I said to myself, take it off your leg because when you stand it it will fly off. And boys and girls what did I proceed to do? You guessed it, I stood up and the phone hit the concrete floor on the right corner and kind of popped open. I squeezed it shut and no harm. Anyway, after that I had been looking for a case and bought I think 3 others. They were all thin and 2 with the clear backs and 1 without, but they all added too much bulk and worst of all for me was the fact when I actually used the phone, something sharp would rub my ear and drive me crazy.
So, I had the following criteria; minimal, no top and bottom covering and had to raise the phone up slightly when I put it down on its face.
Well, the new release Ringke Slim going for around $7.99 is perfect for me. I covers the corners so if I dropped it I feel it would absorb the blow. It's raised just a little so when I lay it down it is off the surface. It has no top and bottom so does not hurt my ear and its cheap! I would of paid pretty much anything for a really good case, but I found it for cheap. I still have to put my glas screen protector on, like I say I really like it naked, and with that on it should be pretty safe.
I can't really see anything being thinner, except maybe just a bumper, but I have not seen one I like. I will be leaving the Slim on my phone.

It's a great case for those of us who like a more professional look with a minimalist form factor and the feel of the naked N5 back with an added grip factor. I'm with you
There is a similar case that's cheaper and believe it or not thinner, albeit minor. Bear Motion. I have 2 and while they are slightly thinner and have very smooth edges unlike the stock rearth slim, they are very slippery in the hand. Too slippery for me.

The spigen ultra fit and ringke slim are both good minimal cases. You can't go wrong with either.

Thanks for the additional case suggestions, I'm going to investigate the Bear Motion. I could not imagine slimmer but the slippery factor may be an issue. The slim is not as nice, to me, as the naked back, but not bad in terms of grip.

Yeah when it is new you are correct. How long have you had it? Reason I ask is because after your finger/hand oils get on the case it then becomes very grippy like rubber. At least that has be my experience.
I'd also imagine it can be dependent on where you live and the weather. If it's cold and dry this case could have a little slip to it.

The Ringke Slim is a terrible case. It scratches the device, sharp corners all over it. Do not recommend it unless you want to scratch your phone.

Yes ultra fit is too tight that it scratches the phones corner

I'm not quite sure it would protect your phone from a drop. There was a post on here not to long ago with a cracked nexus 5. In the picture it was wearing the spigen ultra slim which is very similar to the ringke. The glass screen was cracked at the bottom where it took full force of the fall because there was no protection there.

It's the best case I've used so far. Highly recommended if you want a case that doesn't take away from the look and feel of the N5. I've taken the case off and on over a dozen times and I have no scratches at all on my phone corners. As for the sharp corners of the case, about 30 seconds with a nail file takes care of it

Sure it does. It depends on many factors. How high it drops from, how it lands, what it lands on, etc....
This is a minimalist case with form factor, scratch resistance, and looks as the priority. Not drop protection. If one wants strong drop protection then this case is NOT the one to buy. One should then purchase a thicker bulkier 2 or 3 piece "fat case" like an otter box or similar.

Not everyone has the scratch problem like you guys have had. I have a Ringke Slim and have never had it damage my phone, and I quite like the case. I also switch between different hardcases often and there are no scrapes in sight.
Also, it's unfortunate dice that you damaged your phone from your drop with a hardcase case on it. But don't criticize a person for recommending one because his good experience differed from yours.
It seems you've got some personal vendetta and drive to go into every hardcase thread and badmouth them.

Are you using a White or a Black Nexus? I have a feeling that the sides of my white one will end up getting damaged over time with this case, just because that's how glossy stuff is... Regardless, thanks for mentioning the case and it's nice to hear that the interior is matte. I just wish that there was a case similar to the 360 Spigen case that covers the top and bottom as well, and is matte on the inside.
But for now, i guess the Ringke will do.

I do have the black N5 and the black case, on the black phone you almost have to take a 2nd look to see it has a case. I do like the way on a white case the white would show on the top and bottom. You may be right but, the rubbing of just the day to day may be enough to wear it down. Well good luck in finding a case and let us know what you decide on.

I think I'll have to just settle for this one, as every time a company creates a minimal case such as this (like Incipio's feather line), they will always leave the top and bottom exposed.
I'm slightly concerned regarding the buttons being exposed, but I'm sure that since Google has a rev. 2 variant with better buttons, any issues I come across during the warranty period will be addressed.
I remember with my HTC EVO I had left that it in a Seidio Surface case which wrapped around all sides and it still got dents/scuffs/scratches just sitting in the case because of small bits of dirt or something would slip in. Oh well, such is life

yep. i need that

Thin!! :good:

$5.99?? I got the 0.3mm cases at $1.50 each.
There's also a thread discussing it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2604742.

I have this case, it is very thin, its not TPU but still flexible. The finish is quite good, there weren't any sharp edges on the two black ones I got. The black one isn't see through. I wanted to get a clear one but they were out of stock, but from my previous experience with white/clear cases they discolour extremely easily.
It does get scratched, I have a few minor scratch marks on the back just from putting the phone in the car's cup holder, glove box etc. but you do need the right light to see them.
The case has raised edges around the screen such that the screen wont touch a table when placed flat on top of it. These edges also trap a lot of dust and make it hard to clean.
After a while dust gets under the case but so far it hasn't caused any damage to the phone.
Overall its a good case but you should think of it as a sacrificial item that'll degrade through use. Also, don't expect it to save your phone from a drop. It'll protect the phone from scratches at most.
Hope this helps you guys decide whether to buy or not.

Didn't like it
I bought the case you're talking about. I didn't like it very much. The fit is mediocre. The button cutouts are small, so it's hard to push the buttons. The main issue is that it just doesn't feel good to touch. The material is similar to the textured plastic you get on report covers. Most of this was mentioned in the thread someone linked to above. For me, the quicksand cases are way better and only slightly bulkier.

It looks nice

I'm using this, it's soft plastic. Not even a hard case. So don't expect any protection on shock.

J&D TPU Case.......Great case

Finally got a case for my V20 today. I personally like very thin cases as I am not very clumsy and just need something to protect my phone from minor drops. I usually go with Spigen but their V20 cases haven't been getting as good of reviews as they usually get.
Anyhow, this J&D case is exactly what the description said it was. It's very thin and the material feels great. It makes the phone a lot easier to hold without adding any bulk to it. All of the cut outs are perfect and the lips on the side sit just high enough to protect the display. The camera cut out on the rear doesn't look high enough to protect the lens cover but it actually is. In regards to the cutouts I have not had any problems with plugging in headphones or UCB C cables from Anker and Choetech.
Onto the best thing about this case. The color! At first I didn't know how much I was going to like it as I usually go with clear or black cases. I figured the J&D case was cheap enough to try a new color. I went with the red and it's a very nice red. It's hard to explain but it's definitely red. It's not fire engine red or cherry red. You have to see it in person to understand. The back of the case is a matte red and the sides are a clear shiny red so it contrasts very nicely.
If you spend th $10 on this case you will not be disappointed.

Just want to report that after I just got done calling myself "not clumsy" I dropped a phone today for the first time. I'm also happy to report this case did its job and not a single scratch on the phone.
I was getting out of my Explorer today and forgot that I had my phone sitting on my lap. I usually never put it on my lap as I have 3 other places it usually sits in the car.
When I got out, I literally watched my phone launch off of my lap and land on the corner. It then bounced a couple times and ended up 3 feet away from my car. It landed on its back and all I kept thinking was that I was going to pick the phone up and see a cracked camera lens. The way the case is cut, it only sits maybe a half a milimeter above the camera lens. Its so close it almost looks flush. Not only was the lens not cracked but there wasn't even a scuff on it.
The case itself had two scuffs. I was able to rub them out with a wet rag.

Reviewers on Amazon say the case doesnt cover the camera hump all the way. The camera is flushed to the case and touches the surface if it is placed on a table.

Anyone know if bear motion makes cases for the v20? Those were my favorite cases.
