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

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.
http://www.decalgirl.com/category.view/Samsung-Captivate-Skins
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

Alright, here's some pics of the Smart Touch Carbon skin installed on my Captivate. Thumbs are clickable for full size pics. You can see the area I modded for the bottom buttons, just works better for me.
Hi guys. I posted this in General this morning, but I think this is a better place... if a mod sees this please move/delete the post in General.
Check this: http://www.decalgirl.com. I know this place from some time already when I bought them for my iPod.
They make vinyl adhesive covers for almost every device in the world, and some of them look really cool, specially the rugged ones. The material (rugged) has very good quality and they send it by regular mail including a key to download the desktop wallpaper that fits EXACTLY with the design, making the customization very good.
Its very easy to place as the adhesive material which is made of can be placed and removed as many times as you need, and it will keep your device away from dirt and scratches. You can even have more than one and switch them when you want, as they're easy to remove and they can be placed again even if several days/weeks have passed.
Yesterday I went to check if they had covers for the Archos 70IT, and found they only have for the 10.1, the 4.3 and the old archos as the 7HT, that's slightly different from 70IT, so they wouldn't fit.
I posted a "Device Suggestion" asking them if they would support the Archos 70IT in a near future, and this is their reply:
We do not have that device currently. What I can do though is have it added to our list of devices to discuss with our development team.
If the device is really being marketed or we get a great response from consumers there may be a great chance we will do it.
We release about 4-5 devices per month so are always looking for devices to bring in.

Maybe if enough of us ask them to make it, they will do... I would love to get covers for the A70IT cause they make it look really cool and customized. Will anyone lend a hand and help me asking them to make it?
Cheers
They seem expensive at $20. For press/apply vinyl, I wouldn't expect to pay more than $5. There are folio cases available in the $20 range, after all.

I agree they're expensive.. but anyway, folio cases and this kind of vinyl skins are not the same animal...
Guess you're paying the design and giving your device a "unique" or "cool" looking more than protecting it...

Skinomi has skins that come with screen protectors. They have clear, carbon fiber, and natural wood skins. Unfortunately the carbon fiber and the wood skins for the 70 still show out of stock when you try and order them. I plan on getting the dark wood skin once they are available. 24.95 for the 70 skin and you can usually find a coupon to use with the purchase with a quick Google search. They also have a lifetime replacement guarantee.
Skinomi is finally are showing the Carbon Fiber and Natural Wood skins for the 70s as in stock. Just ordered the Dark Wood skin. They are $24.95, used the coupon code "get25" to save 25% and it was free shipping. All together cost $18.71.

Happy Xooming!
If I'm getting a skin, I'd want it because it's thin. The "gel" skin would just be annoying to me, especially because it would get in the way of fitting cases over it.
I've used skins from gelaskins (gelaskins.com) in the past and I was extremely satisfied. They also offer customized skins but have a lot of designs available from various artists. I'm probably going to be getting a skin type cover and I'll probably be ordering from gelaskins since I've had great experiences with them on my past devices.
Btw. You seem to like final fantasy. A lot.

Indeed I do like Final Fantasy as it is my favorite RPG series of all time, and it has been since the original. So as my favorite series in the whole world, I like to represent. Ya know what I mean? It's really no different than people who obsess over their favorite sports teams. Lol.
And I hear ya about wanting a thin device. The other 2 choices I listed for my examples are thin, adding zero bulk. The gels skins will add some bulk yes because of the gel, but the point of a skin decal is to look good while protecting the device all at the same time. The skins make your devices smudge proof, scratch proof, and nearly damage proof for the average consumer, especially for the gel skins because they are a little thicker and will hold up better.
If you do get a skin, please put it up here for us. Would love to see what kind of design you will cook up for your Xoom.

I haven't put the front on yet, waiting for my screen protector to arrives 1st.
I will look like this picture,same material and pattern (with the screen area cut out). The seller has many designs, i like the dragon one because it's pretty understated.
These are just pics from the gelaskins website (better than anything I'd end up taking), but this is what I got for mine:
I usually have my leather portfolio case on, but it's nice to have a little protection if I ever have it out or if something might possibly scratch it while in the case.
I also got this for my atrix:
Edit: I was just browsing the gelaskins website and it would seem they changed their website set up. They have some art that they have pre-designed the layout for the devices and others allow you to use the artwork in their create your own process. When you select the device, they have some categories off to the side and it starts with the most popular... I just wanted to point out that they have more artwork because I'd hate for someone to miss a design they like more than what shows up in the most popular.

Is there any site that sells custom painted backpanels or skins that sticks on the backpanels? And by custom, i mean either premade ones (but good ones) or letting me choose the design myself by uploading a photo etc.
It would preferably be painted backpanels with good quality car paint grade paint. It should also be able to ship to Turkey.
I'm thinking of matte black panel with a green or blue android logo on it. It would look great on the pebble blue version.
For skins, Decalgirl are very good quality. I've had one on my Kindle for over 18 months, it's used for several hours every day and the skin still looks brand new with no peeling or anything . Well worth going for the matte/satin finish option. Just had a look for you and they do ship to Turkey They also have a reseller programme so might be able to order from somewhere closer to you. The snag is that they haven't got any for the S3 yet.
Edit: they have a "suggest a device" form
Sent from my CM9 TouchPad
Thank you, they do look nice! There seems to be nice designs, but it'd be great if they let us customize the designs to our liking. Also, it's pretty much a given that they'll add the S3 to their collection, considering the popularity of the device.
You could try Plasti-dip spray. Its a rubber spray that is removable, if you want to restore the phone to stock. Not only will it make the phone more grippy, but will also protect it without increasing its thickness.
I think they ship worldwide, or have national websites in a number of countries. You can also get it on eBay. People even spray their cars with it for an instant and removable matt black look!

Zagg Personalized Skins

I'm sure there are more, but I would go with the Zagg ones..
I have had SkinIt's before and there nice but provide no protection, at least with Zagg's you will have protection!
Just heard back from Decalgirl who said they would add the S3 to the list of devices to be discussed with their development team. So hopefully they might do them soon enough

Yeah from past experience I find the carbon skins a little slippery compared to the true colour ones. Bought both red and orange for my OPO.
You sure that even with the back being textured its not going to translate the texture of the skin to the same as the back of the phone?

Don't bother with the sanstone cover. The textured surface will make it a very bad adhesion surface for the skin.
What I did with mine was to order the Obsidian Black cover and then apply the skin to that.
It was quite an expensive investment ($50 CAD total) for just an asthetic enhancement but I think the end product looks very nice.

This is what i made for myself... i Live in INDIA

So i made one myself..... got a Vinyl Wrap and Actually made this...it fits quite nicely and i use it without a Case as i don't worry about damaging the back now!
Plus its Laminated in the Front so screen is protected as well!

Has anyone tried putting one on there bamboo cover ? I'm not considering it but I'm just curious how the adheasive treats the wood.
