Well I received my package in the mail today and what do ya know, its the carbon fiber skin I ordered! I bought a skin because I highly dislike cases, it always adds bulk and it really peeves me. Took me about half an hour to install it and I think I did a good job. Doesn't quite cover it 100% but i guess its enough.
Pros: Looks amazing
I like the texture
pretty good coverage
Cons: wasn't expensive, but it wasn't cheap either ($20)
Afraid it might peel (will update this in a few weeks)
still kinda slippery, possibility of it falling =\
I apologize for the blurry pics, I will post better ones once my camera is charged.
P.S. I also have a SGP Ultra-Oleophobic screen protector on, best screen protector I have used.
If you want to buy your own: Skinomi Carbon Fiber
SGP Ultra-Oleophobic
Looks quite good. I just wish they would make one that has front and back coverage. Having a cf back but stock front looks like skinomi did a half assed job.

Where would you even put it on the front? The whole thing is glass up front with hardly any bezel

The OP included the link in his first post, but wanted to point out that all of the skinomi skins for the atrix are cheaper on amazon than the actual skinomi site. It's only a few bucks, but might as well save when you can.

That's why I put "The OP included the link" part. Just wanted to specifically point out that it's cheaper on amazon in case someone just googled skinomi and found their site lol. I would have ended up ordering from skinomi if I hadn't checked amazon first (wanted to take advantage of prime for shipping then found out it was cheaper) so I wanted to make sure others were aware.

I have the same thing, since this doesn't affect the car dock. I used the same skinomi carbon fiber kit on my Droid X, doesn't just peel off, you have to peal it off if you want it to come off..
I did use the screen protector that came with the kit, if you have any bubbles or blurs, it will go away within a couple of days.. I had 3 bubbles show up on my screen the next morning after installing, but it went away in 2/days.. I can't even tell I have it on, looks just like it did before I installed the screen protector..

They work fine just like they did for my Captivate too - put a T-shirt over your front buttons and try pressing them, does the same thing!
OP - Looks like "skinomi" charged you $20 for a pre-cut version of what you could have done yourself from an $8 strip from CarbonFiberFilm.com.... but hey, the cuts look good from what I can see in the pics, and it solves the issues people keep asking me about rounding off the corners on the back cover. I didn't do the back cover for a reason, so if you want to, buy this!

Yes I understand I was overcharged, however i do not have the expertise with cutting and probably would have wasted more than $20 worth of di noc

Do you have them. can you give us your felling about the "9H Tempered Glass Film Screen Protector"?
Hello, I'm still not have 9H Tempered Glass Film Screen, it's on the way, so i couldn't give your my feeling of that. while i got it, i will post it. certainly, compared with the original/official tempered glass screen, this one isn't good. but it's not bad, and price cheap, i just think it needn't cost too much on screen protector, this one is a good choice.

Yes, here is a picture of both side by side, with opx
I still hesitate which one i should use daily:
- the bundled one is letting you see the metal edges of the phone, but is not gripped (so it can slide easily from your hands)
- the bought one is gripped on the rear, thinner, but hiding the edges of the phone

it is a happy trouble, those two cases both looks nice; for me, i would prefer the transparent case, let the phone not heavy.
Honestly i would have known a bumper was provided - perhaps it was explicitely mentionned and i didn't read carefully the package description -, i'd not have bought a new one
Just received the Zizo bolt cover case. It looks nice but that is about it. I did a short Youtbe video and left a review on Amazon. I was going to leave it at that but the return/exchange policy was so bad I wanted to share this with you guys. Overall the case feels like cheap plastic. For the price I wasn't expecting much so that was not the reason for my return. The kickstand does not sit flush on my particular case. When the kickstand is closed only one side sits flush. I figured they would send me a prepaid label so I could return it in hopes that the replacement wouldn't have the same issue. The box itself came in a flimsy bag. the bag was intact but the box was torn. just a heads up guys!!!
One thing I want to mention is that I wish companies would make a standard and a premium case. All the 10 to $20 look and feel cheap. I am going to get a real leather case for it but I wish someone would make a rugged case made out of hard rubber/plastic and metal.

Maybe it was one bad case in the bunch. I have been playing with my kickstand to see if it goes in flush all the time and it does. I got the orange one. It is a nice color and case. The screen protector that came with it is pretty good too.
I figured it was just a faulty unit and figured they would have no problem replacing it. They are making new pay for return shipping and for a box to return it in. This is the video I shot to show the issues and the confirmation of the box damage.

Not well means that mine came out of the box defective. The kickstand does not lay flush with the case on my unit. I did an out the box video review that demonstrated the issue. As with ever product especially first production run there will be more QC issues. I just happened to get a defective until.

Hey all,
I have a nice case and glass screen protector but I kinda need something with port covers ie- headphone and charging ports. I work in a dusty environment. I really don't want a pain in the ass case to take off since I have a spare battery I swap out.
But you still need the speaker and mic's to be open.... makes no sense to me.

I'm just worries about the charging port and headphone jack getting crap in them. Should I not be?
If your work environment is bad enough for you to be concerned about dust ingress then you're right to be concerned. I'd suggest maybe using a cheapo phone at work.
Dust won't be particular about where it enters so all openings are vulnerable. If it was me I'd certainly not want to risk my V20.
Well I work for parks down here in Florida. It can get dusty at times. It's not like I work in a machine shop that has particulates flying about. I think I am being more anal than anything lol
Haha you're on the wrong site then mate
---------- Post added at 12:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 PM ----------
But seriously, it doesn't sound as bad as what you made it in your OP. So I wouldn't worry too much about the dust aspect, as long as you've got a decent case on it for drop protection I'd guess it should be OK.

Coming from a Nexus 6 I am really enjoying this phone. I did have my reservations
Check ringke cases, some have covers for the port. Otterbox also has covers for the ports iirc.

and on Amazon UK:

as well as Amazon US:
https://www.amazon.com/OtterBox-DEF...97183485&sr=8-1&keywords=otterbox+lg+v20+case
This is the case I use and it really protects the phone. The only ports left open are the 3 microphone and speaker. The charging port is covered. I think it's the best you'll find.
Yeah i know. But odd that it's discontinued so soon.
And the price is too much.
Had an Otterbox on my Nokia N900, excellent quality, and it was cheaper getting it from the US.
Just checked, I've still got the case.

Wish I would have read this post first. I bought that Stomob case. It does look good with the translucent cover but within 6 hours of putting it on I had 3 large scratches across the screen of my brand new OP7 Pro. The hard plastic cover (it isn't glass - likely polycarbonate) grinds into your screen. I'm super bummed and will see if Stomob stands behind their product at all that they claim ensures screen protection.
I've used clamshell cases on other phones for years without ever getting a scratch - this case causes scratches - avoid at all costs.

No. They're the only option for this kind of case. That sucks. Which is why I question the idea of modding other cases in order to have a bumper-only case. RS cases are just not that great, IMO.
