Carbon Fiber Chromatics Body Skin by Phantom Skinz on HTC EVO
Also remember for the summer they have a 30% off sale on these with free shipping, how can u beat that ...

Can you please link as in where did you purchased this? Can't seem to find it.
Edit: Found it.
The folks at Phantom Skinz saw the review and this is what they stated:
1) The reason that we have a small gap in the side strips is that
the pieces do/can be stretched. They can be stretched to match perfectly.
Go ahead and lift one and try it. If you need to warm it up it will
stretch much easier but you also need to make sure that you don't rip it.
2) The very slim area between the battery cover and the side pieces
are sooooo slim that most people could not align it properly and the pieces
would be so slim/thin that they would peel off over time. With the
pieces that we include and properly installed and heated, nothing should
come off. Different phones have different coverage, some more thorough
than others.
ALso on a side note . yes i did knock the camera off the tripod at the end .. kinda funny so i just left it in ...
Just ordered mine! Woot! Thanks for this!

I usually don't like these kinds of themed decal applications but this one is first rate. Clean as fukc.
just ordered mine
Thanks for postin this, i just ordered it nd thanks for posting the coupon code too
That's for the review. Pick one up today after seeing how it looked on your phone, then after placing order...thought I might should of ordered something with color to go along with some of these ROM's getting made. LoL
It's nice, but not worth $30 IMO. I'll probably cop if the prices goes down to about $10 or $15

It was actually $20.96 for the chromatics body skin, 2 screen protectors, and shipping.
Addition: Order on the 22dn and received them in the mail today (25th). The Chromatic went on well, did take some heating and stretching to get it to cover the entire battery cover and some stretching on the thin strips. Turned out well, though not real found of the texture. The 2 screen protectors they included...don't cover the screen 100%. Will have to do until I can find a nice hard one that does-haven't heard of any yet.
So I ended up wanting a MT4G case and came across this site through a friend who bought a similar case from ambitronic.com.
Wondering whether to get the TPU Fusion Case? Look no further!
Shipping:
The product came relatively fast. When I got my final order, all they allowed was first class shipping, but it was only about $3. I ordered my product on Saturday, was notified that it shipped out on Sunday, and it came on Tuesday afternoon.
The website said that it was "delivered" on Monday when I checked, but when I went to check the UPS tracking number it just said sorted. So if you're wondering why the case hasn't come, check the UPS site and be patient, it's worth it!
Pricing/Value:
This is where the product shines. The case was only $3.40, and I bought a $0.95 screen protector with it. I also used a promotional code that docked off 10%. Unfortunately, shipping was $2.95 (still not that bad for first-class), so my total came out to be $6.87.
The Product(s):
I bought two things:
The Black TPU Fusion Case, and
a MT4G Screen Protector
The case itself is pretty good. All the holes are in the right places, and it fits really well. It does not add any noticeable bulk, and although it was somewhat difficult to get it on my MT4G in the beginning, it gets easier as time goes. The side grips are really nice (they're textured for easier grip), and I have 99% confidence that I won't break my phone as long as I have this case (the other 1% is if I keep it in the washing machine ). I had an issue with the power button being too hard to press at the outset, but as time went by, the issue got better and it's much easier to hit the power button.
Note: The TPU Fusion cases for this product only come in Black (+$0.45), Clear (+$0.45), and Red. I got the black one, and it looks really sleek on my black MT4G.
Now, the screen protector on the other hand was not useful at all. The product said that it would come with a soft card, but it did not. The thing also did not come with any instructions, so I ended up having to check how to install it on XDA. After cleaning the glass screen with the microfiber cloth and applying the screen protector, there were too many air bubbles, and I realized that the screen protector collected dust quite easily. I ended up having to trash it.
Overall:
4.75/5
Great product, great company.
-0.15 for the worthless screen protector
-0.10 for only 1 shipping option (shipping ended up being about 45% of the cost, but it was relatively cheap, so I can't complain too much).
Get it here.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I shot them an email, and here's what I got:
Hi, thank you for your honest opinion on our product and service. Your support is really important to us. We have just issued you $0.8 credit (Rounded it up) via paypal.
Regarding the screen protector issue, it used to include a soft card inside the package but it seems our supplier did not include it in this shipment. We have removed the word "soft card" from our description to avoid being misleading.
If you did not get another screen protector for the Mytouch 4g yet, we would like to re-send you the screen protector for free. Hopefully, this time it can do its job. Please let us know and have a good night!
Sincerely,
Dale

This review made me buy one ... good job
Lol, made me buy one also. I also read the extended battery thread and that made me buy one before I read this. Now I don't know which to put on unless I cut the case to fit the battery.

Exactly. I may just cut the TPU case to fit the battery.
I did not like this case. I found it to added far too bulk to the phone.
However....I cut the top off of it and hot glued the case to the armrest in my car. (It looks clean I swear!) So now I have a great holder that my phone slides in and out of easily that keeps it nice and secure where I can see the screen to know who's calling before answering on the bluetooth.
It's a GREAT phoen case for this purpose. And I'm thrilled with my purchase.

I got a TPU Fusion case when I got my phone. I'm pretty pleased with it overall. The grips on the sides make the phone feel much more secure in my hand.
Thank you for your support. It is good to see people like this TPU Fusion design.
I bought a similar tpu, but the hole where u charge the phone was too little and cause of that i couldnt charge it well so i decided to throw it away

I guess the garbage can was closer than a knife.
Has anyone tried these screen protectors yet? They have 8 reviews, all of which are 5 stars. Surprised nobody has mentioned these yet. I went ahead and ordered one to see how it looks. I know it's going to be the matte finish but I'm wondering how the fit is because nobody mentions the fit in a negative manner in any of those reviews.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006ZNVWO4/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
Looking forward to hearing about the "clear" version.
Thanks for the heads-up.
Would love to hear how you like this as well. Any time there is a random product with all five stars I get suspicious, so be sure to give us a review!
Yeah, they do have the ultra-clear version too (http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax..._17?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1332858648&sr=1-17) but it's unavailable so wasn't able to order that one. Really just want to see how the fit is...if it's a hybrid of the full size plus SGP's size then I think it will be perfect!
I think its safe to say just about every single one of those reviews are fabricated... some guy commenting even pointed out that one of the reviewers had written a review on multiple products of the same company in the same day.
But alas, try it out, I do like Anti-glare protectors, and report back here, I'll be awaiting a quick (real) review!

Damn, I didn't see that last review comment. I feel like I kind of got ripped off now. Oh well we will see, if it sucks too badly then I'll just return it. Amazon customer service FTW.
I'd love to know as well, I stumbled upon that same exact screen protector this morning, and a quick Google search led me here (was also skeptical of the reviews after reading the last comment).
I LOVE matte screen protector's, but I haven't been able to find one the does not 'rainbow' on the Galaxy Nexus. Need something to stop my sweaty fingers from smudging up the screen! I will be waiting for your review as well, and possibly a close up camera pic to show possible 'rainbowing'?

As a recommendation, I'm using the anti-glare "Basal Guard" from Amazon. The fit is very good, only problem is that it does lip on the edges, if you have a case that covers the edges though you wouldn't be able to tell. As far as rainbowing goes, I don't see any, and it has the standard matte feeling to it.
The antiglare effect is very heavy on the protector, some will hate it, some will appreciate it, I personally do think it detracts from the beautiful screen, but I love the matte feeling so I kept it on.
So I just got it in today and after using it for the day I've decided to take it off already. This is a very heavily matted type screen cover so the rainbow looking pixels are very noticeable on anything white which bugs the living hell out of me. HOWEVER, the fit is near perfect. I think they hit the perfect size from the edge so it doesn't lift up so I will definitely be ordering their ultra-clear one when the come back in stock. I will put up a picture as soon as I get my hands on my girlfriend's camera to show you guys.

Has anyone found the *perfect* wallet case yet? I have tried a few and the cutout for the back lock button just is the round circle and impossible to unlock the phone without digging and pointing your finger in. The closest I've found is the spigen wallet case
I was just wondering everyone's thoughts about this?
I'm after slim, 3 card slots and magnetic closure
I just ordered this one: http://a.co/8yFi3yO
$6.99 w/ code LUMION60
It only has a couple of reviews but it looks good, so I'll give it a shot.
Unfortunately I cant buy it, they dont ship to Australia

Thanks, look forward to it.
Im close to buying it myself but it is a little expensive here
Nope
I can't recommend this case... Even at $6. It feels cheap, the PU leather looks cheap and fake. The inside is a plastic she'll that feels like it might scratch the phone and the shades of brown are awful. The stitching looks as though it may come off easily too. Definitely skip this one.
Thanks for that. I did see a few reviews saying they don't like the feel. That's good to know, I think I may stay away from wallet cases all together since the lock button is on the back and its not convenient with a wallet case on
I have decided to just purchase the spigen wallet case

I have the aramid Samsung case on the way. Might get the Ultra Hybrid or Thin Fit just to have the front part of the case.
None of them will be here by September 18th though. I'm hoping the shipping dates will get moved up soon.

Worried about that myself so ordered a dbrand skin.
I'm not normally a skin guy but it's better then nothing on this 2k device.
I'm just not a fan of the Samsung ones with them only covering the back
yeah i wish they had some cases. I need something to give the screen a slight lift so it doesn't make surface contact etc.
i hope spigen moves up their times.
I'm going to order the aramid cover. Like you guys, I want to protect it a bit while other cases come out. I'm definitely going to leave the plastic screen protector on the front display until something suitable comes out
Clear Spigen?
I went to order the Spigen Ultra Hybrid on Amazon.
I'd like a crystal-clear version as I've used for the last couple of Note phones, but presently the title of the listing is "Matte Black" and the visual render looks like black.
On the other hand, the description says: "Crystal clear transparency flaunts original phone design".
I think this listing needs work, and hopefully they will soon have a Crystal version.
Links to Amazon are in the US
I am interested in this one for those of us in the UK o r Europe:

Reasonable price too.

The Spigen Ultra Hybrid cases have been around for a while. They are made with a matte colored TPU bumper around the edges and the back portion is a clear polycarbonate. Had the render used the bronze Z Fold 2 it would be much more apparent.
Link to the Note 20 Ultra version for comparison. Check the other pictures and you can see how it would look on a bronze or white phone.

Thanks for the link. I ordered the official Aramid case from Samsung, as I usually opt for Spigen with the stands, but the lack of protection for other parts of the phone is worrying. I'm not sure I could use the case you've opted for though as I like to be able to glance the screen. It will be interesting to see how that one works as in how does it hold when the screen is folded open. is it held in place magnetically or does it flap about.
They have a couple of extra options at the site, for anyone UK/EU side, though the prices for the official cases are higher than getting direct from Samsung, especially if you use the 10% off code at Samsung.

Yeah the Samsung cases are stupidly priced, the leather ones are retailed at a staggering £80 ($105) for what is just a small flimsy back cover. Why are they blatantly ripping its consumers off?
The cover in the link I posted, is also genuine leather and it protects the whole phone including the screen. I have always bought covers rather than bumper cases as the screen is the most important part of the phone. I can't imagine how expensive it would be to replace the front screen! Anyway it does use magnets to hold itself together. I have seen other pics of it elsewhere and it looks really good. And at less than half the price of the Samsung one, I ordered it. I will let you know what it's like when I get it.

I am always amazed at how pricey the cases are from Samsung and then how cheaply made they are. I bought the wallet case for my note 20 ultra and the camera protection is non existent as well as the top and bottom are exposed. They wanted $60 for that pos
This case should be even less since it's just one piece but Samsung figure you'll spend it because you put 2k on a device.
I almost feel like Samsung is punishing us for affording an expensive device. "Oh you have all this money to spend on a device? Well I am going make you over pay for the cases"
I’ve been tempted to get the Aramid case but for the price may just get a leather wallet when they become available in the US. Hopefully there will be a few options to choose from.

I ordered the Aramid case from Samsung at the same time I ordered the phone and it will be delivered at the same time as my phone on the 15th before 10:30am
Admittedly the case will likely only be a temporary one for me and I will be grabbing something more suitable when available. Hopefully Spigen will have something out soon, as I like their cases with kickstands, but in the meantime the Aramid will be fine as I am working from home until the end of December at least and due to health I don't go out much so it will be fine.
Well, I put off ordering a case because.. well, I was just waiting to see if any new cases would pop up anywhere. Lo and behold, Samsung are sold out of the Aramid and the leather in brown and black. You can currently, as of 9/9, only purchase the green leather one.
I'm confused, why didn't Samsung make more? Ugh
Anyone know when Spigen cases will come to UK? This is the first time not seeing a link to a page on Amazon UK for it before the phone is out
I took a chance on the flip case cover from Araree in Korea. Was as expensive as the official Samsung cases but at least offers wallet type protection. Hopefully they ship closer to the 22nd.
$54 total from eBay.
