Just put an order in for the "Acid" matte finish skin. The picture shows it covers the front and back but doesn't seem to cover the sides too much...I'll post pictures of the appearance once I get it installed. But has anyone installed these on an epic before? Here's the link decalgirl.com/category.view/Samsung-Epic-4G-Skins/all

Hey All,
I was asked to review the Exo Skin by Xgear. I requested the White Carbon skin and I have to say it looks great on my black S5! I only have the back installed as I have the Skinomi Tempered Glass Screen Protector on the front. Installation was quick and painless. Literally just place the skin where you'd like it to be and take a hair dryer to it. This helps it conform to the phone and adhere to it. The skin is made from 3m film and has a nice texture to it. You can feel the ridges from the "carbon fiber". I haven't been able to test durability yet and my phone probably wont get a real good test as I typically keep my phone in a case. However, I do think this would stop small scratches and the like whenever I do have the phone out of its case.
I'll get some pictures up tomorrow. I took some on my old phone but lost them like an idiot when I was doing a factory reset for my Gma
Just picked up the edge two days ago and I love it so far. Got the Skinomi screen protector on the way but does anybody feel the need to cover the camera lens on the back? I know putting on a protector would affect image quality a bit but having it sit on the lens all the time is nerve wrecking.
Also, any idea where to get one? I searched the forums and google but got nothing.
I once owned the HTC One m8, so I know about needing a cover, it was prone to scratches. I just use the extra one I had from it.
I do not know about yours but my AT&T came with a sticker like protection attached. I hate it though. Do not know how I shall remove it.
Hey guys,
Let me first start off with the post before me. Before using your phone you should remove all plastic film from the phone. This includes the front film that covers the phones screen and the plastic square film that covers the camera glass on the back of your phone. I used my fingernails and slowly removed the plastic film on the camera lens from the back of the phone. I noticed after removing the film from the camera on the back, the picture and video quality remains the same, this is due to a cut out in the middle of the square plastic film on the camera on the back of the phone. In conclusion, it doesn't affect quality of any sort on my opinion, but in my personal opinion it looks better without it. Personally, I didn't notice the film on the camera lens until after a week or two of usage. It got steamy and hot in the ktichen and i was taking pictures of food and I noticed air bubbles on the lens... The end.
Lets get back on topic, you can skip the top portion, but that might be too late. Alright if your looking for a camera lens protector for your Edge. I recommend Rasta Banana protector for the Note Edge.
I apologize, since. I'm a new user I cannot post links in my posts yet. You can find it by going to Google and typing "Rasta Banana Note Edge", and you will see it.
If your looking for only a camera lens screen protector only then this is not for you. The package includes a full screen protector for the front of the Edge and its dry apply that covers the whole screen including the Edge screen. Also in the package is the camera lens screen protector too.
I ordered mines today and it's $18 for the package and $3 shipping, and it takes about 7-20 days for delivery for us US buyers.
I'll let you guys know how the screen protector works and the camera lens protector works when it arrives.
Thanks for reading.
Sorry for taking so long on this. It took a while to get the screen protector. the first one sent to me had issues. the adhesive holding the glass to the alignment tray was to weak and as i pealed off the backing to apply it the glass feel out of the alignment tray on to some carpet =(
So, first, the glass its self and the alignment tray. as most already know, bodyguardz are extremely easy to apply. the hardest part of putting on the protector is just making sure the phone is dust free. then simply following the directions laid out pretty easily for you. but thats not what we care about. everyone knows they make good screen protectors. what about the crown?!
well ok, to be blunt. It looks very strange. why they went with the aluminum color only is beyond me. In the photos provided its actually hard to tell because its a white S6. but in real live, its plan as day that the phone looks off. Its slightly thinner then the glass which is nice and keeps the transition when dragging your finger across it fairly smooth. the adhesive on it seems to be holding ok. even though when putting on a phone case it got under the edge of the crown in a corner. its very thin on the edges though (0.1 mm) so it should be some what case friendly. my advice would be dont try any hard shell cases with this. needs to be somewhat flexible to kind of pull the case over the top of it as you put it on.
Over all its a very nice product. very small haloing around the sides but its barley noticeable. If only it was white! then it would be perfect. Im trying to get used to the aluminum but its just strange looking lol. the good thing is when they do release a white one, you only need the crown and not the full package. so thats a plus. if priced appropriately.
Of whats on the market today. This is the best solution to our full screen protection. But i would defiantly wait for a colored version!
Great review. Any chance you could post some more close-up shots of the crown and the transition between it and the glass? Also, maybe how it looks with your case on?
not digging the look of that protector , i dunno is it the color of it?
Is it the shape (i.e. fitment?)
I dunno.
Is this the only glass you've tried?
Have you tried iCarez?

That was as close as I could get it with put it blurring out. Taking with an iPhone 5s. I've already removed the crown part. The aluminum color was just to much. Quite distracting.
I picked up two sets of skins from Stickerboy and have been pretty disappointed in the cutout measurements. it looks like the sides are maybe .5mm too wide on both sides when the fingerprint reader is perfectly centered. This increases the changes of the skin lifting up when grabbing the phone. The rign around the camera visor is too thick as well with lifting all over the place so I just cut that out and went for a straight rectangular back skin. The camera visor sticker fits perfectly though.
It's a shame as I really like their antibacterial black skin which gives a gun grip like texture. I've emailed Stickerboy to see if they have a second revision coming out, hopefully so. The pricing was great ($12 shipped for two back skins and six camera skins).
Anyone else have experience with Stickerboy?
Have anyone tried DBrand skin of Note7?
And how are the edges doing? Are they peeling off?
I like the stone/concrete texture. Is it smooth/plastic feel, or like real semi-gloss concrete?
What about metal? Are the titanium strips bumpy or just printed texture?
What about wood? Or Matte?
*Extra question: Is sandstone case available for Note 7 yet?
Bump. Brah
I currently on a s7 edge dbrand skin. I would think the note 7s dbrand skin would be a little similar. I have the matte on the front and back. Fits perfectly and it wraps around the edge perfectly. My front skin actually covers up the front buttons so I can't even see them when they light up.
I have the carbon fiber back only. Fits perfect and has not peeled or bubbled at all. Fit is to the nanometer, so it took a couple tries to align it right. Follow online video instructions. Very happy with it! Carbon fiber gives it a little texture to give it some better grip. Note 7 ATT black.
Thanks guys.
I really like the concrete one. But im not sure if the grip feeling is 80% like real polished concrete or not. I dont dare to order if im not sure because order to my country is expensive AF. Couldnt find a good concrete review on YT.
Now im looking forward to the titanium ones. Does anyone know if those strips texture bumpy 3D or just printed?
I got the mahogany just to cover the back and protect from scratches. When it's out of the case the corners catch on my palm, when I had a slickwraps skin on my S7E it was a perfect fit. This isn't as smooth and you can tell the difference on the edge because it's too thick.
As for the texture it does have a smooth wood type finish. Not quite raw tree bark, but you can feel it as you pass your finger over.
