Hello guys, im not having a Tab S3 skin yet but im about to get one. I'd like to get some inspiration here show your skins and list the link to it.
Not so many skins are available for the Tab S3. Bought a Skinomi brushed metal skin and installation was a pain. The skin isnt a perfect fit on our device, its like 1mm short on all sides. This resulted in me removing and reapplying the skin multiple times. The skin has stretched because of this and looks really bad on the tab. I asked skinomi for a refund because their product isnt cut perfect, but they didnt refund me and sent me another one. Didnt bother installing the new one as the product is flawed. This is really bad on skinomi's part.

Hey guys. My Nexus is on its way to me, will be here soon. I've been browsing the Galaxy Nexus forums, trying to get a hold of the scene before I actually get my device.
Besides ROMs and what not, the most important thing for me is to protect the device. Also, I wasn't sure if this should go here or in the Q&A forum - if I got it wrong, I apologize.
Anyway,
Has anyone used this? I'm not talking about the Carbon Fiber skin, I'm talking about their Clear Skin Protector.
I was thinking of getting this and pairing it with the Rearth Ringke SLIM case.
Anyone out there used the Skinomi or has had previous experience with them? Any thoughts on combining their Skin protector with the Ringke?
Not sure about that screen protector, but ~17 users have it on this forum so they should be able to help.
Get it from amazon if you do decide to buy it, it's much cheaper there.
Regarding the case, this thread may be of use to you (if you have not read it already for more info)
I applied a tech skin on Friday and have been really happy. It took about 12 or so hours for all the bubbles to go away but it looks really good now, the cutouts are the perfect size and it covers the entire face of the device. but I bought mine from amazon for like 3 bucks for mine, looks like they've gone back up to 7
either way I'm very happy, especially now that they went back up cause I got 2 at 3 bucks.
First of all, thanks!

Yup, I read the thread regarding the protectors and the thread regarding the case. I'm pretty sure about the case, however when it comes to the Skinomi I'm not talking about just their screen protector - their skin protector is something you put all over the phone, with cut outs to the battery etc. Basically, like their carbon fiber skin, but transparent. I also really want to buy it from Amazon, but for some reason its not up there.

Really good to know. However, while their screen protector should theoretically provide a proper idea, I'm looking specifically at their phone skin - that is, there are cut outs for the front and back. I also really want to buy it from Amazon but for some reason it's not there. Thanks!
I loooove this screen protector. Bought one on amazon to replace the crap that otter box shipped with the commuter. Definately worth every penny. Covers entire front and fits snugly in my case .

The Skinomi front screen protector, assuming that it's the same one that comes with the Carbon one, is really nice so far. The only thing id recommend, is that you wrap the microfiber cloth around that squeegee before you scrape the bubbles out. That crappy piece of plastic they send, has sharp edges, and will scratch the heck out of your screen protector. Really, like a few hours after I put it on, it's hard to tell it's even on there.
I second the microfiber comment above.

The battery cover seems to be a potential weakspot on the phoen from reviews ive seen. Although that opinion has been mixed.
I saw these though andthought id share. I dont like using cases on my phones so thought some people might enjoy this also.
I bought a sleeve but I am also thinking about one of these just to sturdy up the battery cover. It comes with a front screen protector too!
anyone dealt with these before? ive only seem limited reviews. any input appreciated.

Is real carbon fibre?
Sent from my HTC HD2 on ICS 4.0.4 using XDA
Not real for that price, if it is then that's a great deal.
real carbon fiber would be too rigid.
it does seem to be more rigid than a sticker, though.
the application video suggests using a hair dryer to apply it to corners and palces where the material must bend.
Id only put it on the battery cover, not anyhwere else. The contrast of my marble front, the silver on the sides and the black on the back will look cool i think.
heres a link to an example. This user used 3M stuff though.

I've done this with MANY devices, even used white carbon on my girlfriend's Captivate, and recommend using 3M Di-Noc over ANY of those gimmicky skins.... Even though the Di-Noc is much harder to go around complex curves, it holds up better than the 3M 1080 version, which is thinner and therefore more flexible, but also includes a glossier finish with a smaller carbon fiber weave.... 1080 trumps Skinomi, et al., so buy in bulk from eBay or wherever, and you'll get much more use out of it than just getting one skin that looks terrible and doesn't compare to real carbon fiber at all!
My 2 cents as someone who's been in the vinyl graphics industry for 10 years.....
^^ To each their own
I have a few products that have Skinomi's Carbon Series on them & they look great, corners suck a little but that was known.
Quick & painless
I went to autozone today to look for some of the stuff you suggested or similiar but they didnt have any.
i appreciate the advice but these skins already come cut to fit and with the holes in it. I went ahead and ordered one. They have free shipping and and the carbon fiber skin comes with a front glass cover. I wanted one anyway so its kinda two birds with one stone.
Ill post up impressions but itll be in july when verizon finally ships. I have a pile of phone accessories already for a phoen i dont even have yet lol
edit: Forgot to add - if you use the discount code "skinomi25" you get 25% off.
I ordered the carbon fiber package and it came to 14.98 with free shipping to US and canada
carbon fiber skins are totally worth it but the screen protector sucks cuz it has the rubbery feeling. To each their own though.

yeah ive never used a screen protector on any of my phones. I probably wont use this one either but it saves a few bucks if i decide to.
can you post some pictures of your skins on your devices???
but it looks nice though. Ahh there are already so many things that I wanna buy before my device comes !
I got my order in the other day just posting smoe initial intial thoughts (no SGS3 yet, damn vzw)
anyways the skin came attached to a adhesive backing that has 3M logo on it. So perhaps its the same material about psoted above. any way to tell?
it came with a wet application screen protector and all the goods to apply it.
it looks liek the right cut. im excited to try itout when my device is finally delivered.
Hello everyone,
I just wanted to share the accessories I got for my GSIII
The Screen Protector: I got the ArmorSuit protector, I used to have it on my GTab 10.1 and it was great, so I decided to get one for my GSIII. I like it a lot cause it is flexible and it cover all of the screen. Installation is easy, it comes with a liquid that you spray on it before installing it so you can adjust it exactly on the screen, and then you remove the liquid using a rubber piece they provide as well.
The price is $9.95 but you can get it for $6.95 from another seller (see 3 new from $6.95). Here is the link
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00849E1CM/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
The battery cover has a carbon fiber pattern, it replaces the original battery cover (the plain one). I like carbon fiber patterns so I found it nicer than the original cover. it is a little thicker than the original one, but you can't notice the difference at all (less than 1mm).
http://www.ebay.com/itm/26105967464...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_513wt_1163
The gel case is transparent, and it does not add a lot of thickness to the phone. I don't usually like cases for my devices, but this one is really good, and the most important thing is that you phone remains white/blue. It listed for $4.95, but you can get it for $0.50.

So where's the pic with all the stuff on your phone ?
I thought I'd share what I found for my most recent phone, a Samsung Galaxy Discover S730M. It's relatively new in Canada and it's budget status means there are no accessories to be found - and likely never will be!
I found a nice tpu case on eBay, by looking for "galaxy ace duos" cases. The fit and finish are really nice, and I plan to order a couple more colors soon.
It was under $10 with free shipping, and the screen protector that comes with it works...though there is a cutout for a face button the ace duos has but this phone does not.
I've tried a couple screen savers from eBay described specifically for the galaxy discover, one vituiki and another 6-pack of thin protectors both from the same supplier in Germany. Both protectors were difficult to install and a very poor fit, with at least 1mm hanging over each edge of the screen.
I finally ordered a 6-pack of screenies from china that look like they will do the job, I'll post results.
Can you post some links to the tpu case and china screen protectors please?
And this works too:
Because the phone seems to be samsung's mock of the iPhone 3G/3GS, if you cut down any screen protectors for it (using a straight cutter, or scissors if your hard core). Ive done it. The speaker hole is a bit low, but it works if you have some old ones you dont need anymore.
Please click thanks if you found this useful.

I just searched "meifeng ace duos" on ebay, this is one of the first items: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Soft-Silicone-TPU-Cover-Case-LCD-Guard-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Ace-Duos-S6802-MF-/290751893915?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item43b229d19b
I was tempted to try one of the textured cases but it looks like the top and bottom edges are unprotected. What's the point?
Well here’s another leather case from Spigen. It is available in black or white and retails for $37.99. While the Galaxy S4 has both the Argos and illuzion Leather series available, the HTC One is only provided with the illuzion. There doesn’t appear to be big differences in the two series though. Watch the video for more information and general commentary.
NOTE: Since the case we have is white, it will probably get dirty. I saw someone complain how no one mentioned this. Furthermore if you have a white case in general... It will probably show any dirt more than black for example :cyclops:.

I have the black version of the case. It fits nicely onto the phone and protects it from whatever needs protection. It's a good case, but it have some minor negative "features".
After a while the hinge on top of the case gets more loose. It still holds on to the phone and protects the screen, but it leaves you with an uneasy feeling. There's also no room for the charger while the case is closed. You have to open the case to charge the phone - It's a shame really because it leaves the phone vulnerable. Also when you've been using it for a while and get fingerprints all over the screen, if you don't wipe them off before closing the case, the text on the inside of the lid will be "printed" on the screen fingerprints.
Despite this the case is brilliant. It's good looking and feels like it's of good quality. I've had it for over a month now and haven't regretted it. Expensive, but worth it - IMO.
I forgot to mention that the "Tablet of Hermes" gets imprinted on the screen. I did say that on the Argos for the Galaxy S4. Kind of funny.
Anyways the longest I used one of the cases was the Argos for the S3. It did get a little loser, and I did bend it back more to encourage it to be tighter. I guess you could do that and apply something that would stiffen it back up.
Overall not a bad product for under $40. Thanks for adding to this post.
Had a black version of this case, been using it for a while, I've to say it's the best looking flip case for one, it's durable. Except the inside part of the lid is getting dirty and the text, which I don't like. Wondering if the sgp glast screen protector will work along with this case! Any one tried that?

I didn't have one on this phone in this video. For the Argos and the Galaxy S4 it works fine. That did have a Spigen Glas screen protector.
