Carbon fiber skin for the back - G Tablet General

First of all, this thread is kinda related to this other thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966392
Which linked to the following ebay item that cost $25.
http://cgi.ebay.com/CARBON-INVISIBL...456474?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item19c2dd29da
I just ordered one from ebay at a much cheaper price.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...0733047432&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Actually, I ordered 3. It's going to be 8" x 12" so I'll have to do a little cutting. At $1.50 each, I think it's well worth the effort to cut it very carefully.
Just giving you guys a heads up to this if you want the back of your gtab to look like this.

That's a great deal, the only thing I'm afraid of is messing it up when trimming it. You can get them at amazon precut from skinomi with a screen protector for just 5th bucks more than the price of the screen protector alone. I do prefer the look of the one pictured above though

I bought mine from gotshadeonline.com and there is no cuting involved.
srry can't post the link -.-

For anybody that wants this precut... i suggest going here

Skinomi's skins come with a lifetime replacement warranty. The one from gotshadeonline don't.

i have a small dremel tool. i might be able to put it on and then use the dremel to cut it to fit.

You know why it's a pleasure to deal with them? Because it costs $15.00 + shipping.

a dremel? its made out of 3M paper, a blade should be fine, dremel might be overkill

i was mainly thinking about the rounded corners

very nice.

			
				

			
				
The band definitely is an upgrade over the black band but there is a slight color difference of the steel. You can only tell when really looking close at it.
It'd been about 10 days with the strap. All I can is that it feels like a real watch because of the weight. People have commented on how it looks good and the strap makes it look like a real watch. Definitely wasn't sure about the black band but happy about this strap purchase. I would recommend it to others who are thinking of switching out their strap.
very nice I know its quite old thread but can these still be bought on ebay? can anyone pm me a ebay link please?
http://m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=380467797551
I just got my first compliment that it looked like a very expensive watch. One person asked me if it was a Rolex... I laughed.
I've had this strap for 3 months now and all I can say is that it's a great strap. It gives it the look of a powerful and costly watch. I believe the strap is usually placed on Rolex and such. It is easy to clean, comfortable and gives a nice weight to the watch.
I also have a screen protect and let me tell you it saved me twice from a nasty scratch and healed itself. Amazing stuff. Got it at best buy.
broke the screen on mine and cant find a replacement anyone know where one can be bought please??

Custom Nexus 9 Case

For those who are still waiting for a better case to come to the market like me, but cannot use it without a case, you can try cutting out the Nexus 9 Box for a temporary case.
Just did mine, and it looks great with the HUGE 9 in front plus bubble wrap protection in between, and a kickstand.

LOL. Ghettofabulous!
That's a sweet case you got there
Nice! LOL. I like the music too!
I'm using an old car handbook cover which fits perfectly. For once in my life I have successfully transitioned something I should have thrown away to something useful. My life is complete.
Nice use of rubber bands. Im using one on an ipad air case i found at sears on clearance.

Do not buy this case

Just bought this ebay case from ebay seller yellowknife_cable. Not a very friendly seller BTW and I think they are doing a switch and bait. They are using another product's images but the item they actually sell are just bad, if not one of the worse copies I've seen.
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=271692429375&alt=web
If you look at the camera cut out, it is way off centered and is touching the top lens of the camera. This prevents that portion of the case to touch the back of the phone and is slight lifted off. I'm not sure who designed this but it's clear it was not test fitted and probably was based off some incorrect schematic of the note 4. The other issue is the bottom part of the phone doesn't fit well and exposes part of the phone's bezel. I've tried putting it on from the bottom first but this doesn't help. Also this case is not ultra thin as they advertise. This case is not expensive but you can find a lot more better fitting case than this so don't waste your time. And don't waste time with this seller. They want you to drive to USPS, pay for your own shipping first, then they refund and reimburse you for return shipping after they determine it's defective. For $6 dollars, who would want to go to the trouble. It's just a waste of time overall.
I sent them this image and they still think it's not defective. Really? Again, dont waste your time with this seller.

Here are more full images
Here are some images of what they posted on their listing. Clearly false advertising.
Sorry to say but even in the pictures from the "ad" the case looks like crap. When it comes to my phone I'd prefer to just buy some quality case instead of some random crap. Can find quality Spigen cases for 20 bucks.
I wouldn't use a £4 case on a £500 phone. I suppose with cases you really get what you pay for.
Right! For 15€ you could buy the original Samsung protective case. Looks great fits perfect and the protection is good i think. I've the blue and the silver one
you can get the OEM samsung one for 10 bucks on amazon i dont understand why people buy garbage off ebay from asia .. the OEM is made specifically for the phone all the holes line up and the buttons are perfect

I bought a similar pouch a while back for my nexus 6p from the same seller on etsy. She has all sorts of choices on etsy. On etsy there is an option to ask for a little more room to accommodate a bulkier case. Shipped from overseas very quickly.

Thanks. I ended up ordering one shortly after I posted this thread. I'm pretty happy with it. I really ****ing hate cases and screen protectors and all that stupid **** when I'm actually trying to use the device, so this is a good alternative to going completely naked.
I'm using a Shocksock https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pixel-XL-S...1481124207&sr=8-1&keywords=pixel+xl+shocksock. I specifically wanted one that would fit the XL while keeping the back cover. That way the screen is only exposed when I'm using it, but if I drop it the Spigen case (Rugged Armour) should still protect the phone. It was a tight fit at first but it's loosened off nicely and I'm delighted to have found it.
I've used these for several years. They seem to be a good quality pouch.

Accessories Carbon case

Finally came the carbon (aramid) fiber case for the xiaomi 12. This looks to be made by the same manufacturer as the Oneplus one's.
Build quality and fit are top notch, same as my old OP 6 case.
Don't know if links are allowed, but bought it at aliexpress.

Nice case indeed. Looks like a little bit more special than my standard black cases. What did you pay for it?
I’m curious if it block the access of SIM card?

I paid 23€ for it delivered. Yeah they were normal black ones, but having had the same in the OP6 I wanted a little change hahahaha. Both look awesome imo.

Yeah, unfortunatelly. But being a dual sim, I don't find myself changing the sim cards regularly.
Thankfully it's pretty easy to remove and clip on. Also it protects the full body, unlike the OP ones, so that's a big plus for me. All the holes cut to perfection
Another big plus it's that it wont interfere with any screen protector, as it clips just to the frame. Now I'm looking for a good screen protector that covers all the glass. If anybody knows one, please let me know, I'll be very grateful.
I also ordered the cover, I'm still waiting. Please, is it magnetic? THX
Thanks for the hint.
Loved that case style also on my OP 6T.
Ordered one from aliexpress.

It's pure aramid fiber, so not likely.
