[Review] Skinomi Full Body Shield

I previously posted in other threads that i was waiting on my skinomi to come in the mail. This is my personal opinion on it and take it fwiw.
This is a good product as i have had it on many of my devices before this one, now saying that i am slightly unhappy with this one in particular. The screen protector itself fits pretty much perfectly and so does the back. However the back (note.. Has only been installed for about 20 hours as of this post) because of its texture does not seem to be sticking too well. Also the side and top pieces that cover the chrome are all too long and overlap a little. Beacause of this i ended up taking them off but i am leaving the front and back on. I will post an update if the back seems to fix itself. I hope that this helped u guys on deciding on this product.

wouldn't throwing away the side piece kinda defeats the purpose of the whole skin? cuz i think the metal sides are most prone to scratches than any other part of the phone.

i installed the same skinomi skin about four days ago and everything you say about the this product is spot on.
i really like the feel of this product. its not sticky and has no orange peel like zagg.
fit on front and back is perfect. the back looks like crap though because of the texture on the back of the phone. mine is not coming off but it "looks" like it is adhering to only the bumps of the texture. i don't think this is a fault of the product though. i would have got one of their carbon colored pieces if i had to do it over again so you wouldn't see the inconsistent adhesion due to the textured battery cover.
the fit around the metal trim of the phone is not good at all. the pieces are too long so i had to cut two of the pieces or else they would overlap. the trim pieces do not fit around the corners well either. they are slightly too wide and there are not slits in the design of the skin to help it curve around the corners. as a result the corners slightly kink in a couple of areas.

Yea forgot to mention the width of the side pieces. They do seem to be to big and not stick around the edges like they should. As u said tho the texture of the screen protector is nice as it is very smooth unlike sagging and some others.

I really think that it will stay this way due to the texture of the battery cover. But maybe i am wrong time will tell

plastidip cover

so i'm posting this in the accessories because you guys are the target audience for this mod.
so i took my stock battery case and used some clear plastidip in a rattle can to give it 4 coats and here is the result.
for give the dust, the case was still tacky when i took the pictures and I couldn't clean it yet, but i really wanted to get pictures and post them rather then wait for it to dry
as you can see it adds virtually nothing to the thickness, the badges and color are still very clear. it's textured on purpose, i put the last coat on Very heavy so it would orange peel and increase texture/grip.
the phone still looks great, but has tons of grip now, and this shouldn't affect any cases, accessories, etc.
if you're not familiar with plastidip, it's essentially plastic in a can. the soft almost rubbery kind of plastic you often find on the grips of hand tools. it won't hurt the case, and if you get tired of it you can just peel it off, very easy.

Very cool. Would give an extra bit of grip if you prefer your phone caseless.

Plastidip Marble white S3
That looks very cool and probably gives a nice grip. Awesome job.
i'm considering this for my International Marble white S3 as i prefer my device caseless and using a leather pull tab.
How much time did you let the coating dry?

LOL, I just did the same thing today, I'll post pics in the morning.

Its awesome grip.
I let each coat dry 30mins. I let the final coat dry over night but the can says 4 hours. I put it in front of a fan after the last coat and was able to handle and take pictures after an hour.
Hey that black looks good, i thought about using a color but I'm going to rock clear for a bit first. I think that's what's so awesome about doing this, when you get board you just peel it off and spray it with a new color

I'm guessing it's going to peel off fairly quickly with use.

Well if it sticks well on the battery door, it shouldn't be a problem with the progress you made.
This black looks sexy and will fit the new black S3 when it arrives, although my choice is the white battery door, then spray it with clear plastidip just like yours, as i'm am not going to change the color that my phone is.
i might as well order an extra original battery door, just in case of i want to switch or something else.

Guys this looks great! Can you please keep us updated on how it wears? I am curious to see if it rubs off with normal use. I like my phone best without a case but it is extremely slippery. Thanks for posting pics!

I got a question about this....does the added grip this gives to the phone cause issues? I'm wondering if it makes it difficult to pull out of your pocket cause of the grip factor to the case.....or is it difficult to put back in pocket?

Moto211,
It's your lucky day for getting a great answer to your question. (sorry, I know it sounds pompus ) But I have and love my UAG case. I almost used plastidip on it....especially knowing that it can simply be peeled off at any time after it dries. I used the plastidip on a DIY mod that I performed on my desktop charging cradle. It took a bit of learning to get the desired finish. I peeled it off 2 times before I was satisfied. (each round was 5 coats)
I can say that it definitely adds grip to slippery plastic. (polycarbonate etc) The problem will likely be the eventual edge peeling of the plastidip. In and out of one's pocket will cause this.
I ended up using Egrips. Very pricey and difficult to cut into position. I made sure none of the corners were sharp (like a square) I rounded them off otherwise their edge would catch and peel just like plastidip. (the photo may not show my latest Egrips work) Anyway, the grip and feel of Egrips is to die for. If kinda feels like a JuJube. It grips like magic to many surfaces like car dash or even pant legs yet it's not sticky. It's much better than PlastiDip in many respects.
When I use my UAG one handed...it no longer feels like it will EVER slide off. Best off all, it still slips in and out of my pocket easily. BONUS...it helps the UAG fit better into my CraigsDock. (that's another story)
The pic below is my blue UAG with Black Egrips. I have a Black UAG with black Egrips that looks even better.

Not with handling no, but my jeans pocket peeled it off nicely, so I coated it again and kept it in my soft pockets like my shirt and it lasted all month.
The largest down fall is that the phone case is smooth, for anything that is non adhesive (like plastidip) that means it will peel off. If you were to put it on a rough surface it would be much better.

For those who are wondering about the durability of plasti dip, a ton of people use this on their vehicles that with stand daily abuse from rain, ice, snow, cold and heat. It's a nice way to give a new look or to protect!

I plasti dip the wheels on my Integra and they hold up fine. My autocross civic gets the whole body dipped in a different color every spring and I pressure wash it with no issues, but dragging it in and out of a pocket would definitely destroy it.

Otterbox defender alternative?

So I've had an otterbox defender for awhile now, but am starting to hate it.. All the outer protective layer in no longer wanting to snap out of its grooving, lint constantly gets under the screen, and it's just so bland looking...
I've checked through the accessories section and didn't find quite what I'm looking work..
I'm looking for a nice case, that has a BUILT IN screen protector like the otterbox defender, and isn't as bland and boring..
yes I could get a new otterbox but then I'd just need a new one later on when the rubber no longer likes to stay put.. Which is more waste of money.. Something that's good quality with minimal issues and a built in screen protector would be appreciated..
Checked trident stuff but all of them are just shells without built in screen protectors..
Also, I do NOT want to use an adhesive screen cover. In my experience those like to pop off and pretty much have to get thrown away because of the stickiness going away and possible lint stuck on it for good.

What can I tell ya, I use the otterbox and am a great fan. As is the nature of my work, my phone is exposed to a lot of dust, and potential scratching agents. after that the rubber looks like **** and yes, it starts to not want to stay. In my experience it's not that bad yet. The built in screen protector did get particles underneath which ended up making minute scratches that are hardly visible. Nevertheless the phone looks great once its out, still looks relatively new and considering what its been threw, I'm an otterbox believer lol.
I haven't seen any cases that are similar or that provide the amount of protection from both scratches and shock as the otterbox. I'll keep posted in case there is an alternative in case I decide to buy a new case.

This site has some pretty good alternatives http://www.case123.com/mobile/default.aspx#C252

That's sadly only a half shell which is back and edges covered and not screen

I have the Griffin survivor and work in dirty dusty wet crawl spaces for a living. This phone never leaves my hip when i crawl under a house.
Phone still looks brand new if i take the case off. The dust/water repel films do make the speaker have a lower sound. But i have found ways to live with it via sound mods. The ear piece one i haven't noticed a difference in call quality.
The filters over the mics work great and dont affect quality. You have flaps that cover the camera and flash and headphone jack.
The only gripe i have is the camera flap. Works great but if you need to take a quick picture it can be a hassel. I've gotten good at doing it though.
Idk anything about the ballistic hard core series, but until the Armor series comes out, i believe the Griffin survivor is the only comparable case to the defender.

It sounds like the Griffin survivor is much better for moist environments and dusty environment than is the OtterBox. With the OtterBox small particles sometimes tend to get underneath the screen protector and as I had mentioned will scratch the screen a little. The scratches are almost not noticeable but they're still there. I wonder though, is the Griffin survivor would surpass the OtterBox in shock protection. Perhaps it's because I've never had a Griffin survivor but I trust my OtterBox defender with my life you can say. Ohh the falls it has taken...

Yea, there is someone here reporting a broken screen on the first fall with an Otterbox Defender. It all depends but I guess both cases are pretty sturdy. As with most things it's a biased decision which one you prefer; although the Griffin is sounding kinda nice because of the camera flap, etc. You won't believe what happen on the first day I got this phone. Something manage to get into the least protected part, the camera, and damaged it in an area that doesn't affect picture quality at all. Guess I was lucky. After all I think we should both consider ourselves lucky are bones have been with us during work despite us both working in pretty rough fields. Not your typical office setting lol.

Gorilla Glass will protect against keys and hitting it on things. Sand and dirt will scratch it easily. Just the way it's made.

I have had 2 Otterbox Defenders and like them alot. The first one failed an unplanned drop test, but the phone was intact so it did it's job and was easier to just get another one rather than muck around with a warranty. I always remove the provided screen protector since it has a gap between it and the screen face and install a removable one right on the phone. If I want pretty, I peel off the protector and remove the case... ie new phone look on a 9 month old device. If I want protection, well, there you have it. I also have a Body Glove Drop Suit and like it equally as well depending on the situation and environment.

0.3mm Ultra Thin Light Cover Case Skin from eBay

Anyone bought this case from eBay and would like to share their two cents on?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Blackclear-...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item2587f29e30
Looks like a decent thin case that actually has protection at the top. Looking to pull the trigger on this one.

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.

I have had the case and phone since Monday. The case isn't bulky compared to say Otterboxes, but does add a little heft to the phone. The only downsides for me are the screen protector isn't great, but I didn't expect it to be; and the case can be a pain removing and placing it back on at times.

can you throw up some pics...i was skeptical with the built-in screen option, i figured i could just purchase my own protector for that...

I have the Poetic Revolution & Affiinity; they've really thinned down the revolution from the versions I had for the Nexus6P and Note5. It's got a nice slim profile, but plenty of protection. Will post some pics tomorrow!

I like my Poetic Revolution in black! It's slim, grippy and very protective, now I'm not afraid to suddenly drop my new V20! Certainly gonna replace built-in plastic fingertips and rainbow magnet for Zizo edge-to-edge temp glass, that'll give even better survival skillz as well! Will post here once this killer combo is ready, apparently this coming Wednesday!

Here's the promised pix and a couple comments! Poetic case is priced at 12 bucks (amazon), Zizo at $10, kinda steal! IMO, this combo is a gorgeous match for V20 and a beast in terms of survival skillz! I had a couple of non edge-2-edge temp glasses, one plastic film (initially included with Poetic case) and two other cases (Nillkin wallet/book type and Tridea). Everything was a waste of time and money once you assemble Poetic/Zizo hybrid! Poetic is very grippy, has very solid feel, love protected ports and front panels in particular and superprotective whilst not being bulky i.e. very comparable to aforementioned Tridea! Zizo is a bit fingertips magnet and has slight plastic feel to it but edge-2-edge w/o rainbow effect, very stylish and clamping with Poetic as well as included cheap plastic protector! One last thing about that cheap plastic film, it's very easy to remove it even w/o breaking it just by prying very sharp knife or something like that BUT it's very difficult to wash all the adhesive out of hard plastic front part of the Poetic case. Use lots of water, rubbing ethanol and/or wet wipes that helps but still took me like an hour to completely remove that sticky stuff! :good:

I got it too. Nice case. I also have the Otterbox Defender which is the one I'm using right now. The Defender feels it would provide more shock and drop protection.

Poetic is always best to me.Gonna get one for my v20 soon. Had one for my N6,n6p,moto z and all work great,

I just used a blow dryer to soften it enough to pry it off little by little, the residue came off pretty easily also (less than 5 minutes for the whole process) I use the spigen temp glass and I'm loving it

I don't have a blow dryer at work there I did this Poetic "upgrade"! Lots of rubbing alcohol did it for me eventually I wonder how non edge-2-edge glass protector looks in combo with Poetic. I'm kinda getting tired of wiping Zizo plastic-ish tgsp all the time... please share some pix here!

Wow, looks very nice! Thanx for the photos! It seems there's no gaps on right and left side between the case and tgsp, neat! Once I scratch or break my Zizo I'll most definitely try Spigen :good:

cant get them in the uk amazon ... all you get is the Poetic Monkey

Just got it from the US amazon ... my phone is coming from hong kong .. so its worldwide phone anyway )

Got at amazon US , its an international phone .. so might as well follow the trend

I have one of the Zizo cases, and love it. The rough grippy sides and the kick stand are standouts for me. It's not bulky at all, and feels like it'll protect my phone. I also have a tempered glass screen on front.
