Quickly grabbed my N2 after seeing your pics Thankfully, no such chipping on mine.
OP, which bumper did u have on?
It's not aluminum, its plastic. The plastic aluminum color simply chipped off I think.

You mean the plastic bezel of the phone? I have a similar chipping which was caused by a drop and now it shows the white plastic underneath like in your photos.

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.

Has anyone picked up a SkinIt for the T989 yet? Currently i am looking for a front Decal for my T989. I picked up a full body white Decal for my Vibrant a few years ago and loved it. I would like something similar however i am not sure if the skinit is just a rear decal or not.

thats what i was asking if the skinnit came with a front decal also!
I bought 2 of them and I didn't like the fitment. The skin for the battery cover is 2 pieces and there is a big gap between them. The front skin is ok but has a cutout for the screen so you will need a square screen protector to cover it. Unless you don't care about that. There isn't anything for the bezel.

I'm thinking about having my phone naked....... well, sort of. What I mean is, I was thinking of adding the SGP Glas for the front. So now the front will be protected. Then I would have a bumper protecting the sides of the phone. For the back I would have an invisible shield, Even if I do happen to drop it I can easily buy the back panel since its cheap. Do you think this would be a smart way of having my phone feel naked and having great having protection?
I just love the naked slim body of the phone. I do have a diztronic case even though the case has very little bulk, its still does not the feel the same.
Looking for some advise
What I would buy to do this is...

You don't need to protect the screen at all, gorilla glass is much stronger than your flimsy plastic sheets you put on it. If something can scratch gorilla glass, that "screen protector" will not stop it at all. A weaker object can't protect a stronger object.
What you need to protect is the phone's back. I use my phones naked always. I've never had much problem. However with SGS3, my phone's back is covered with scratches. I don't remeber having any other phone with a backplate this vulnerable.

I'm also using SGP glas on my S3, but I use with Samsung's slim case. This thing add literally no thickness at all! And it protects back and the camera. I thought about using SGP ultra bumper case but I'm worried about camera lens since it doesn't provide any kind of protection around.

Does using a screen protector take away the essence of the S3's beautiful screen? I am very careful about keeping my phone away from coins, keys, etc. and am confident about not getting the screen scratched; my only concern is the finger oil marks that are left on the screen.
Will a screen protector resolve this issue?
I am confused.
Why not using a pouch like this one? http://mobil.idealo.de/preisvergleich/OffersOfProduct/3276708_-slimcase-leather-xl-bugatti.html

Be careful with samsung ultra slim in 0.3mm
I got them ( there are 2 differents in package) and both suffer hot temperatures! I have no photo atm but i can clearly say that they deform themeselves if exposed at some high temperature(for example when you play game or any sort of thing that increase battery temperature)
they are curved now and dont fit well..
So i gone with the tpu ,always samsung offcial, and all is awesome (but you lose the naked but protected feel xD)
When i read naked i thought you meant to take the motherboard out and put it in a transparent case/shell to show the insides....
Why not try a Zagg invisible shield. I'vehad one on my SGS since the beginning and also on my GTab. It'll be the first thing I get on my next mobile upgrade. You can get maximum protection (front, back, sides) or just front protection.

there are plenty of videos of people scraping keys,knives, and other sharp objects across the screen with no effect, even sandpaper which resulted in very faint scratches
my phone has flip case... and the screen's scratched to ****. If gorilla glass is scratchproof then i'm the king of mars
So then, is a screen protector absolutely essential? I'd rather have the screen naked, then use a screen protector.
I have, however, got a pretty nice body for the phone that covers and protects the back well.
Is anyone else concerned about the glass in the camera getting scratched easily. I can already see some scratches on mine on the very first day. It's only been in my pocket and on my desk. I usually place it on top of papers though.

Well the camera sticks out on my S3 as well but it hasn't scratched at all. I have an Incipio case on it (soft/hard shell) but it doesn't protect the camera from my keys and I regularly pocket the thing. From the sound of it, the S4 is extremely prone to scratches.

I think the issue is when you place the phone down on a surface, the camera lays flat on it and it gets scratched. If you put a case, most of them are thick enough and go over the height of the camera glass.

After looking at it again this morning mine has a clear protector over it with a small hole in the center for the lens. Thats where the light scratches are. Im gonna leave that on as long as it will stay. But im still worried about it. I got a pastel case for it yesterday that slightly syicks out further than the camera and hopefully when my otterbox case comes in it will protect it more

That would be all fine and dandy if it wasn't for the fact that the first two weeks I had my phone, I didn't have it in a case. It was in my jean pocket with lighters and keys. It came through flawlessly and I have never scratched a camera lens - it seems like this one is so scratchable that you could easily scratch it badly. Just seems like a stupid oversight.

I've have all ways used case's and screen protector to protect the value of my phone, because when I'm on to the next thing i see my phone to supplement the cost of a new one.the note 4 chamfered edges do not like cases,all around the edges is scuff marks if you have a case on take it off and have a look for your self
i agree. I had a condom case on my phone from spigen for about 2 weeks and now it has very small scratches around the edges. The plastic bezel didnt scratch this easily.
that's why I stay naked since the galaxy note2, though I dont have any history of being clumsy or something to scratch my toy
Using the sup case which is a 2 piece, hard inner, soft outer case. Not one scratch yet. I believe the scratches are from cases that allow slight play within causing dirt to get inside and the phone to rub it in.

From my experice, any case that has a hard inner will eventually scratch the sides. Soft inners are less prone.
