I installed the mahogany skin from Stickerboy on my OPO last night. First, the fit is not 100% perfect. There is def a seam on the top of the skin where the 2 pieces should meet. It's almost a millimeter gap, but not quite. Because the skin is dark and so is the sandstone, it not noticeable until you get close up. Where the top and bottom pieces meet with the backing folds on the sides is not 100% either because the cuts don't seem like a straight line, but kind've curved. With all that being said though, the skin does look really nice if you are not scrutinizing those areas. It does make the phone a bit slicker to hold, but it does have a really fine wood grain feel to it. I do like the dark color of the mahogany. Installation was a breeze, just have a hair dryer or heat gun handy to make adhesion better on the curved areas. Stickerboy does have 2 videos posted to show you how to install the 2 different versions of their skin. I got the Type 1 which has the backing connected to the sides and the top and bottom pieces separate. Here are 2 nice pics to showcase it:

If you look real close you'll see I actually tore the skin at the corner top left where the side folds down. I had lifted the corner up to try to stretch it further to minimize the gap but it ended up tearing a bit. It's hard to notice so I can live with it for now. I might end up ordering another one in Type 2 design to see how well that version looks.
Looks good - may well try one myself.

Picked this up today from Currys (25 quid) the plastic used on the back/sides portion is odd. It grips like it's rubber, but you cannot gouge the surface with a fingernail. Tough as old boots, reputedly able to withstand a wire brushing without marks. also with funky orange absorption panels inside.
The front flap that protects the screen is semi rigid, with a mock suede type fabric inside, and a leather like material outside, that also feels rubbery, and although not as resistant to gouging as the back, any gouges that could be left by keys etc, seem to disappear after a couple of minutes, coupled with a general high quality feel make me think these are going to be a popular brand.
[UPDATE]
Been living with this case for a month now, and I have to say it`s looking like it`s going to stand up to pretty much anything. Although I don`t use it during the workdays, (too grippy, won`t slide in and out of my overalls pocket) It`s the case I go for any other time.
I initially feared that handling it with dirty oily hands (I do occasionally) that it would stain a lot more than it does, but a good wipe down with a damp microfibre cloth, and it`s sparkling again

So this is a review of a nice dual-protection case from tmart.com! It's called the Hard Shell Silicone Case, and it comes in a few colors. I chose the black and gray because it looks best with my white GS3. honestly, I was never into big cases, but i think i'm going to run this case for a while because it just feels nice, and does add a bit more protection!
here's a few pics:

so like i said, the case feels nice and sturdy. it's not TOO bulky, but it's bulkier than i'm used to (basic TPU cases like zoogue, diztronic etc) but again, it does add some protection. it reminds me of a Ballistic dual protection case, honestly. and it's so cheap that it's totally worth it to try it out!
really no cons. everything seems to line up well...at first, though, I noticed when I was taking pictures with flash, there seemed to be a darker spot to the left in the image. upon further inspection, it seemed the flash/camera hole weren't lined up perfectly. all i had to do was take the phone out and re-align it within the case, and this was solved. so, it's not an issue, it's just like every other case out there where it has to be put in perfectly for everything to align well. (i had the same issue with diztronic and zoogue, where the charge port hole wouldn't line up and the charger would fall out.)
the charger port hole seems cut out well, but bigger usb ends don't stay in well. the samsung one is fine, but if you're using another brand (i have a blackberry USB laying around) it kind of wiggles so you really have to make sure it's in.
in the end, this case is awesome! totally worth it for the price!

Just came in the mail, this is a 3d print out I ordered for 10 bucks. It's a great snug fit easy to install. The mic isn't blocked at all. Now the material looks cheap and takes away the elegance of the watch but it does its job protecting the screen and body but I'm sure it will crack in half if the watch gets hit good or falls hard.
Cant say I'm a fan, the whole point of the watch is to show it off! Like wrapping your Porsche in a tarp Scratches are just part of the risk.

I got a blue one just to wear on game days at the Rose Bowl. Go Bruins!
for ten bucks i guess it is worth a shot. but that thing sure does make the watch look cheap. no offense.
I gave mine to my buddy to wear while at work.. The thing makes the watch look super cheap.
i like the concept... but agree it makes the watch look like crap
i would not use it day to day... but i would sure use it if i was going outside for car work, or any type of enviorment where it may get damaged
but then again, i probably would just take the watch off
My two yr old crushed it in half lol with his hand
I actually like mine, but it doesn't sit right. I'm thinking of adding a layer on the underside of the lip. Does anybody here have a micrometer where they can measure the inside of the bumper, or even the OD of the watch?
I've seen 48mm listed, but I'm not sure if that's correct.
Edit: I want to get either a gasket or o-ring and need a size.
Thought I'd photoshop some wood skins to print, cut, and shove under a cheap clear TPU case. Looks almost like glossy lacquered wood until you get really close.

Couldn't really decide between a sci-fi or wood theme, so I combined them... The extra galactic empire logos are to try to force grocery store color printers from cropping and resizing.
look great, how can I get them

these looks great, OP. not too sure why when i print it as 100% it does not fit as nice as yours in the pics. my bottom cuts off just around the back cover, but the camera holes fit perfect. shall see if we can get some sort of png overlay template out.
Sorry, IDK how else to post these pics here at 100% rez/size and every printer will unfortunately scale things differently. I did glossy prints at my local Fred Meyer grocery store on 8x10" photo paper for a couple of bucks. Here's that combo one.
kudos much to you OP still. i did manage to figure out the resize and it's great! i'm just getting it printed off A4 copiers.
i did also a quick work base off yours to do an overlay template, just need to ensure that it is 24.27cm in width. upscale the pixels to your own requirements but the width stays to be the right size.
OP, let me know if you want it taken down. cheers!
I usually like the otterbox / thick cases for my devices. You know the ones that have an inner layer that covers the screen, and a thick outer layer that attaches to that. Which gives extra space between the screen and the ground should it fall. I just got this phone, and for the life of me I cannot find any thick style case for it. I am not a fan of the cases that just attaches to the back. Can anyone point me in the right direction for the thicker 2 piece cases for the phone?
I put a sample image of the type of case I'm looking for for this phone if anyone knows where I can find it?

Not much out there for the Razer Phone 1. The closest you'll find is the Trudia.
That's what I ended up with.
They didn't have the color I wanted, so I wrapped mine in vinyl.

Unfortunately we will be waiting a little while for 3rd party cases.
Purely because the Razer is not a big seller like iPoo & Samdung.
We need to be patient.
Received mine today
