Has anyone picked one of these skins up yet?
I am going to buy one, because I hate having a bulky case on my phone, and wanted to know if anyone had any experience with it yet. If no one has gotten on yet ill post a small review and some pics when I get it.
I ordered one last week and it arrived about 30 minutes after I left town for the week. I'm going to install when I get home this weekend.
ever try skinomi?? ive been using their skins for a while and never had a problem. Their customer service is on point also.

I bought and installed the carbon fiber from skinonmi and I get compliments all the time on it. Easy installation like the zagg, and the screen protector is awesome.

Ill have to check these out, looking for your review OP
Thanks for the skinomi recommendation (and video review). It convinced me to buy one.

there are some pics I took real quick. Great product, more for looks tho. I def recommend it. I bought this before the phone was even released and it cost me 15 dollars direct from the website. It also comes in a nice air tight tube that can be reused to store anything that you dont want smelling up your car or girls pocket book if you know what I mean...lol.
does the carbon fiber skin feel smooth or does it have a grip-like feel to it?

I am wondering the same thing. I hope it's grippy b/c that's one of the main reasons I ordered a skin.

Well depends on what your view of grippy means. Its a slick feeling skin so it slides around easy, but the only grip you really get is from the grooves or knurling in the pattern. Basicaly to answer the ? best to my ability I would say the skin provides added or great grip on the edges of the phone but for the large area of the back can be a lil Slick.

oh ok. from the design i thought it would have a textured feel to it. sounds like its just smooth with a design like a regular skin would be.
thanks for the info
I can just barley tell that its textured when I touch it.

Nice! Thanks.
I already had a comparison poll about cases for galaxy s3. Otterbox defender, Casemate glam and SGP Folio, and i've decided to get SGP folio and try to place an order now. But, I just found another case from sgp website. I bet this case was released for other devices. Has anyone tried this case for your old device? If it's better than folio (http://www.spigen.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-leather-case-folio-series.html), I would get this one because it's made of suede material.

I had Argos for my iPhone 4 and SGS2, I generally liked them quite a bit, but at times, the flap clamp tend to get a little loose, so you have to sort of bend it down a little to get more friction between it and the phone.
does anyone have more pictures of the SGP Argos?
I really like the looks of it in the official picture, but i found this review for the galaxy s2 version where you can see a massive bulk at the bottom. does the s3 version have this too?
(damn, why is it so hard to find a really good looking protection for my new baby )

I was in between folio and argos, but I more like suede material, though. I'm still thinking..... How do you like Folio?

like what? is it inconvenient to use?
Has anyone used Argos on the S3? It's easily to be scratched, so be more gentle when using it.
The official case/cover were presented together with the phone ... if anyone had news of where to buy write here :highfive:.

Me three! I keep looking...
I've ordered the "Simai" Quicksand Case from this website, they offer quick courier international delivery.
http://www.casesss.com/model.aspx?model=223&categories=6
So far, I think that is the best case for the P6 because its very thin and has a premium matte sandy texture to it
Hey dudes!
I bought 2 of these ones:
aliexpress.com/item/2pcs-10-off-Hot-Korean-Printed-Hard-Protector-Cover-For-Huawei-Ascend-P6-Phone-Cover/1198030328.ht m l
I'll receive the pack next week.
there are still no news about the official cover?
I found this website that sells an official huawei cover, that looks very similar, ships internationally too.
http://www.liaow.com/huawei-p6-leathercase-black.php
I found something, seem to be the official cover but I've never bought in this site, and obviously come from china

im telling you guys the simai case is the slimmest case and the most "grippy" case you can get for the P6, its not very bulky like most of the cases out there. :highfive:

Could you post a close up pic of your case ?
Im still wondering how it is different from the case that comes with the phone ? I use that case and its good to me in that it fits perfectly and not bulky, its opaque and dont sacrifice my white color p6, and the material is a type that is durable and does not get dirty too quickly.

Simai Case = Very slim flexible polycarbonate matte premium feel sandpaper texture, very grippy.
Free Huawei Case = Thick soft silicone, very bulky compared to the Simai Case.
:highfive: just buy the simai case man and I promise you, you wont regret it! :highfive:

Thanks for that. But one more question, is it susceptible to stains or dirt ?
I'd probably buy the crystal case cause i dont want to sacrifice the color: http://www.casesss.com/product.aspx?model=223&pid=1338
Also you got screen protectors from this same store ? I could order both together if so

Actually, I don't use screen protectors.

I bought on ebay for few € ... I have lost the hopes of finding the official cases : (

I haven't seen one of these around yet so I opening one for debate. Is there a specific case that you fell in love with but never made their way around to our devices?
For me, it's the spigen's slim armor case. What is yours?

Thanks! I was actually looking into these generic cases but I read that the cases begin to crack after some time and that the plastic shell was "cheap" material =[.

I am looking for a case with luxury brand like Louis Vuitton or Hermes. It does not have to be OEM but at least made of genuine leather. I have not found one from a website that is not a scam. Maybe somebody can point me one. Thanks.
More Kickstands
I wish more companies would release 2 models. One with a kickstand and not. So convenient when you need it and not in the way if you don't.

i had the china spigen neo hybrid and those plastic crack within a a couple months but then again i drop my phone a couple times. haha
i just got the slim armor one today and it seems sturdy but its also a bit thicker than the neo hybrid. the buttons are really touch sensitive tho.
i really like the neo hybrid but that damn plastic just cracks too easy.

i totally agree with you! The neo hybrid was one of my original choices as my daily case but the mid frame plastic seems too flimsy to me. How do the buttons feel on your slim armor, click-y, or flat like some TPU cases?

This is a heavy duty 3 layer case that fits on the zerolemon extended batteries. I just ordered one myself.
Edit: I know the link is for the Note 2, but they do make them for the s3. Its just an example
Any of tou guys seen any anywhere for the 10+? I had them on all of my notes, so if you spot one, please post.
Best regards,
Ditched them and went leather. So sad.
Not really sad. Mine got pretty beat up and gunky. True leather should hold up better, but the feel of the Alcantara was nice.

I always liked the Alcantara’s non slip properties. You can place it almost anywhere on quite an angle without slipping off. I have a habit to place it on my knee while I need to do something. To date, no mishaps. Famous last words?

I take the leather, dab it with olive oil to get it soft and darker and then beat the crap out of it. In a short time you have a nice patina and good grip. The leathers always feel slippery at first but you need to wait it out until that coating comes off. Oil helps to take it away quickly and I like the look after.
ali express or bang good (one of the chinese sites) had note 9 alcantera cases cos I bought one. They are replica obvs.

What about the ones on Samsung site? I'm considering one of those.
I was unimpressed no protections at the bottom and it didn't even look or feel like leather but the inside felt like suade. The outside was slippery.
I bought the blue leather case using the 50% off on Samsung site for members. Its very nice and my fav even over 3 spigen cases I bought.
