It's always a pain putting those on though. You can never quite get it to look as perfect as the pictures show, unless you get one of those Indian guys from the mall to put it on.

putting a $20 skin on plastic back that will be a $10 item seems silly. I bet we see $10 back covers all over the place soon.

I haven't received my phone yet, but I am thinking about putting a BestSkinsEver skin on the back. I realize the back will probably be sold on eBay for $10 at some point, but I hear the phone can get a little slippery and the skins add just the right amount of rubbery tackiness to keep the phone from slipping out of my hand.

Having a lot of experience in this subject (see link in signature), I can go ahead and tell you that if you don't have a lot of experience, you won't get that skin to wrap around the corners and edges properly and make it look the way you want it to. Good luck, but it seems like throwing away money because you sure won't be satisfied with the results!

Its easy to get on. Cut the backing down the middle, then tape the other end to the phone. Then remove the half of the skin backing, then the other. And any wrinkles just heat with a blowdryer and its perfect.

is it actually a carbon fibre cover or just plastic?

Nillkin Dynamic Fashion Hard Case Review

Just thought I'd post my opinion on my latest case and throw up a few pictures for you guys to have a look at..
This is my second case for my S3, the first one being a FONEM8 Hard Slim Shell off eBay (www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140764120157) and while I was happy with the fit and style the rubberised texture attracted dirt like you wouldn't believe. In the end I had a grotty off white case that wouldn't even wash clean You can see what I mean in the 3rd picture.
Off I went looking for something similar in fit but with a gloss/shiny finish so it didn't end up all mucky and found the Nillkin Dynamic Fashion Hard Case (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230807084265) paid my £10 and waited for the postman. It arrived fairly quickly from China and I'm pretty happy with it. The rainbow effect that can be seen in the pictures is fairly subtle and can't really be seen in the pictures, its most noticeable in natural light.
Here's the pictures anyway (http://imgur.com/a/Hy2gp)

Those are really nice, I have the black textured one and it feels like it will protect your phone. Also goes over the bezel of the phone enough that you can leave it face down.

I bought one but didnt like it, i didnt like that theres little to no protection on the corners of the phone ,i bought a samsung vented case instead and like that better

The corners and top/bottom are a tad exposed, for me its trying to find happy medium between protection and keeping the device feeling slick and lightweight, can be tricky
I tend to go through cases quite alot (finished with about 8/9 for my iPhone) so I'll do a thread like this for each one I buy so others have a decent(ish) reference :good:

Here is mine...

Good.

Good Slim, White, Matte Finish Case? (Ships to Canada)

Suggestions for a good thin, white, matte finish case that ships to Canada?

I am using the original "Designed for Samsung" case, made by Samsung itself. It's slim and has a nice rubbery and matte outside. Here are some pictures with it:

The code of the case is SAMNCCWH. If you search for that you will surely find it. Good luck

wasn't it determined that this case wasn't made by Samsung actually?
still looks nice, im looking at getting the black version, but not covering the top and bottom is making me hesitant.

Sorry, I didn't get that. Who exactly determined that?

I suggest that this silicone case, ultra-thin and transparent, do not feel the weight of. Link

Skip to post #61 for conversation about authenticity.
It seems to be made by Kondor Limited, who is an OEM manufacturer contracted by Samsung.
The case may not be official, but people still like it and say it fits well. Not bad at all.

I use this one on my white Nexus. It's a little transparent.

diztronic clear tpu case

so the diztronic cases are amazing. they are really great and fit perfect and are cheap ($10) ETC. but i found that they yellow incredibly fast. first it was the sides then my entire phone....
its everyday use. have it in my jean pocket and take it out. thats it! its crazy. it reminds me of the jordan shoes with the clear soles back in the day where the soles yellow naturally bc the material comes in contact with oxygen, causing yellowing.

I don't use tpu cases - tend to go for polycarbonate cases.

back was matte clear

Skinomi Carbon Fiber Skin is absolutely gorgeous!

So I decided that I got tired of Samsung's infamous glossy polycarbonate fingerprint-magnet casing and decided to do something about it. I think you'll find the results below are quite stunning if I do say so myself.
Feel free to comment and share your thoughts/questions. : )

I normally dislike skins, but I do have to agree that this one looks rather nice.

Looks good, do you have it in a case also?
If so can we see your setup.

That case looks pretty much identical to the Poetic case I got from Amazon - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008YZ8VL8. I get on very well with it as it is not too bulky.

Have added two pics for you guys of the front and my case and carbon fiber stylus as well.

Hey mate, the skin looks awesome and I'm thinking of getting one. Question, what weather widget are you running?

I've had the skinomi brushed steel skin on my note for about two months now. After about 5 weeks, the thinner strips along the front bezel and sides started to slip and the adhesive seemed to be breaking down. I have since removed them and now only have the pack pieces on. I did contact skinomi via amazon and I believe they are going to offer a replacement. Just a heads up. I'll be curious to see how yours wears on...
