So i got this idea from one guy who put the 3M carbon fiber skin on EVO, But the problem was the curvy shape of my beloved Nexus. So I tried a few things and wasted some Vinyl but finally i bought Best skins ever skin for $8 and used it as a stencil and cut out the vinyl with my xacto. here are the pics. I liked it a lot so i thought i'll share with you guys.
That.....Looks.....AMAZING! Do tell....
Wanna give me the skin you didn't use? ;-)

Agreed, you've 'riced' up your phone.
i dont think its any more ricing up than putting on a case. isn't ricing up to give it some sort of performance enhancement that doesn't really enhance anything?
Well I know why some of you don't like it. as my wife does not like it too she also has a nexus and she likes the feel of 'naked phone' if i may say .
My only problem with cases is that if i use them then my desk-dock becomes useless. plus i dont like always to be super careful about keeping my phone anywhere and scratch it.
you know what, it looks pretty good but the only problem is the weave is too large. maybe get a smaller weave vinyl.
care to share the stencil?

Sell me your desk dock.. Please please please please!!
FYI you guys can get overstock Carbon fiber sheets and m3 adhesive strips like used above from a guy named racingjeff on ebay. What this stuff is microthin carbonfiber with m3 adhesive on the back. They use it to make the CF dash boards in teh bling bling honda's you see on the road. I've deal with Jeff for years buying real overstock 3mm CF sheets. Guys a really good guy.
Personally I don't think it looks bad at all. I wouldn't do an entire phone in carbon fiber but it looks nice enough to me.
I'm going to cover my HD2 battery door using the same carbon fiber sheet. I'm also considering buying a couple of battery doors from ebay and experiment a little. I want to polish one battery door to a "mirrior finish" and I want to try painting one using Krylon just to see how it will come out.
I've painted all sorts of crap like Blackberry housings, golf clubs, furniture and I have the technique and prep work down to a science so we'll see how it goes and I'll make sure to post pics when complete.
I applaud dude for having the balls to experiment!

I like it but the CF grids are a little large. I would like a tighter patterns. Heres the guy I use. Granted its not going to be $8 because its real CF.

Email him and tell him what your planning to do, he's super cool and will send out samples and all his stuff is the real deal, not look alike CF.
Is there a ay you help me out, on how to make the vinyl go so nicely around the corners? specially on the curvy parts... ive tried b4 with other vinals, and i cant get it to go nice on the curves, i always get extra stuff

2) Good lookin out on this ebay seller!!!! I'm going thru his selection and there are SO MANY TO CHOOSE! I definitely prefer solid colors over the argyle and swirl ones all over the internet and amazon. I want a clear one... but may settle for this black one. Thanks again!

1. I did live in Virginia for a short time but I never introduce myself as Moshe. So I doubt it was me bro.

I think I found some of these on amazon if you search for "lg tmobile g2x color premium". The link doesn't say "TPU" but when you click the link it says they're TPU cases in the description and they look just like the ones on ebay.
I bought my GF one of those TPU cases for her HTC Aria in white and the thing is awesome. It adds a little girth to the phone phone nothing major. She drops the thing all the time but the phone still looks amazing.
The bad thing is that it covers up the smooth rounded screen that I love to feel.
I got this exact same case. I loved it except for the holes cut out for the volume and power. That killed it for me because that little slim piece in the front just got kinda floppy. I ordered this one and although I dont like transparent or argyle cases I use it day to day just because it seems to fit better http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0QEA3EPHD3SFD6BV11WG
Got the exact same case on my way to me. I ordered the lime green last week, gonna have an android theme. I will probably add some artwork to make mt g2x look like an android bot,
I got the black version of this case last week and after trying 2 other cases, this one is the best hands down.
I got mine off ebay from Mr.Shim and it took 6 days to get here from Korea.
Now if only Realook had a screen protector for this phone, I'd be really happy.
The only thing this case did was push up the Bodyguardz screen protector when I put it on because it's a pretty snug fit. Simply smoothing it back down was all I needed to do. Probably didnt help that I just had the protector put on the night before either.

My friend just got a Galaxy SII 4G and has this great white case with a kickstand (you all know the brand, but I cant remember it...). The same case is one of the few I have found available for the Skyrocket and it's exactly the same, except it has no kickstand?! Which is the MAIN feature I need!
Surely there is an option out there? Some way to get a kickstand on the skyrocket? I love to watch Netflix in bed and use it as my main bedside clock/alarm But I have to stick it in the stand that came with my Novel tablet so it will stand up!
Please help! Whats the best solution? I really dont care if it charges the phone... I just need a stand and want it permanently attached if possible.
Thanks all!

Like I posted in the other section, the Seideo Active case has a kickstand. A similar version is sold at most BestBuys and can be bought on Ebay or Amazon as well. There are several reviews on that case already in the Accessories section.

Take a look at this case. You can use the belt clip as a stand. Hella great case as well.

That is a SLICK case indeed! I currently have the otterbox commuter It is a little big for my taste... The defender looks even bigger, but better! However, I would just lose the clip. I need something that stays attached. That case is SOO slick I just might get one anyway tho

That case looks like it keeps the phone vertical on the stand. The Seidio Active case has the phone horizontal which I think is better for video viewing. The active case is also well constructed. It adds slight bulk to the phone, but not too much. It also adds "grip" to the phone which is nice in a way but can make it difficult to put in in or out of your pocket or a carrying case.

It also has built in Wireless Charging and I'm sure you can use a ZeroLemon 3000mah standard battery to increase it from 5600mah to 6000mah!

Nice. I might consider it but I really don't have any battery life problems, guess I don't use it enough. Looks like it would support NFC as well given you use your stock battery in it, that would be a plus for me. Unfortunately that isn't stated anywhere I looked.
Anyway thanks for the info. Will strongly consider this if I should find myself in need of a longer life. Course carrying a second battery isn't that big a deal, I do for backup. Fits nicely in my jacket pocket that fit my old feature phone... Don't even notice it.
I would get it but it doesn't come in black.
Just a warning to anybody that gets this, it does not fit with a glass screen protector on (MIME Feather Glass to be exact). Other than that, it's a very nice case.

I too want a black case to go with my black s4. I'm thinking about getting it anyway.
Just got it.
Seems to work great, no loss to sound quality and have already gotten use to the slightly heavier feel. All and all, I think it works great and have seen little if any depreciation of reception. :good:
hmm...this product looks really interesting...I really hate bulky extended batteries, but this case might be a great compromise.
how much ?
The big problem is 2.4 oz. (70.5g) and *Wireless charging works only with Qi Mode. Qi receiver is optional and sold separatelya a
looks cool..but I agree, I'd need to see it in black to consider it.
Black color - $10 and I'd buy it.

I just ordered from this link thanks. I used PayPal though just in case.
My order still said processing but I already received the case, nice buddy.
For any of you wanting this case, i have had it for about a month and it makes the worst creeking noises from the plastics. When your on the phone and you move the phone around the other person can hear it an cuts in and out.
just wanted to give a heads up

I don't have this case, but by the look of this case, it seems like it won't protect your phone at all. You can buy way better case for the same price. If you're interested into this case because of the look, then yes, it does look pretty good. Also, note that it's coming straight from China. It'll take very long time to reach to you and if you face any issues with this case, then good luck sending it back or getting any customer support. Just my opinion. :good:
I'd worry about the bumper part scratching the edges. I almost ordered the same case last week though lol. Let us know how it works if you get it.
this actually looks pretty cool. tempted to buy one
