So Skinomi was the only skin available when I ordered my phone and I just got it installed to day. No pics of the front as its just the usual clear front skin but here are some pics of the carbon fiber black back. It fits pretty well but does leave the sides a little unprotected. Pictures with and without flash, couldn't tell which ones were better.
Install of the carbon fiber is a little more difficult to line up as you cannot slide it around because it doesn't use solution, its just a sticker with special adhesive. I got it as strait as I could. Enjoy.

It looks pretty neat, but why is the bottom split in half and the top isn't seems to me you just cover the entire thing at once or split it into three segments like the original back cover.

Just thought I'd share the case I picked for my Inspire. You can buy it here:

And, no, I'm not the seller lol
At a first glance, it doesn't look very cool, but their picture on Amazon is just crappy and doesn't represent what it really looks like. So, I took a couple of pictures for you to see:

Sorry for the big size, but I wasn't gonna spend time editting pics for this purpose. Overall, it's thin (which is the way I like for my cell phone cover), gives you good grip but doesn't collect dust, and has a semi-transparent cool look to it. The best part is, it's only $7! (+shipping = about $10).
I know it looks a little bluish in the pics, but it's the lighting. It's actually the same color as the back metal cover of Inspire 4G.
I'm pretty happy with it. Oh, just so you know, the free silicone ball stand is a junk, so forget about it. I already threw it away. It doesn't bother me because I wanted the case, and it's a good case for the price!

For about a week now i use a TPU case and my sensation leaves stains on it. It only leaves stains from the upper part and lower part of the back. Not sure what kind of material this is. And the stains are impossible to remove from the TPU case.
The TPU case is from adapt essential kit
The upper part of the back looks like it has a bit of an oily effect on it and the lower part is mat (not shiny) black.
anyone else have had this? or is it just my backcover, in the store they said that they never saw this before. Although i dont really trust them.
i will also send an email to HTC, see what they say.

I have a red tpu case as well and after a day or two,the red will rub on the Sensation instead. Not a big deal though, use it naked for a day and its gone.

i messed up the pics, should be visible to everyone now...
back cover Looks kind of cool (vintage). My TPU case discolored my back case as well. I think it is the TPU material causing this My otterbox bladder does not effect My white case.
yeah the colour gradient looks kinda cool, but with the case it mostly looks dirty

Has anyone tried one of these skins? They look very similar to dbrand skins which is what I just ordered, but X gear provides a full body skin for a couple dollars extra?

I'm interested to know as well. Anyone using this or had this for their nexus 4?
bubinga wood skin
I just installed mine tonight. Back of it is flawless and so easy to put on. Feels like real wood. The only beef I have is the front side. It does not protect the actual screen of the phone.....so I tried to install it over my BSE clear skin protector. Wasn't the best move (if perfection was what I was going for) because I ended up ripping the thin sides off to make installation over a barely dried wet applied clear skin. Still looks awesome though and I really really like it overall.
If I had to do it over again....I would have installed the front EXOskin over a tempered glass protector for the complete look. The reason the EXOskin didn't play well with the clear skin already on the phone is that the EXOskin is very adhesive. I think it would have been better over something like tempered glass. That would have given it protection over the actual screen and a wood look elsewhere.
Like I stated though....love mine.
Recently ordered my first roll of carbon fiber vinyl wrap, so i started out with my phone. I did the original case first, then today, after a lot of time and burning my hand with a blow drier, i wrapped my s-view case, it came out pretty nice, i have a bit of an issue with the bend point at the middle being a little stiff, but otherwise its nice!

If I'm honest, this doesn't look as nice as I thought, it would maybe look nicer on just the back cover?
I don't really care for carbon fiber but I think that came out really well
Here's the deal,
Things that you'll need:
1) A transparent back case.
here are a few links:
http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Case-Protection-Protector-Absorption/dp/B00T6RRXIU/ref=sr_1_5?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1439888536&sr=1-5&keywords=galaxy+s6
http://www.amazon.com/Trianium-Resistant-Seamless-integrated-Shock-Absorbing/dp/B00UGQZOUY/ref=sr_1_14?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1439888536&sr=1-14&keywords=galaxy+s6
http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Spigen%C2%AE-Hybrid-CUSHION-Crystal/dp/B00QU4PN84/ref=pd_sim_107_6?ie=UTF8&refRID=04MV7PY88HT4HAZ1ZFRP
In short you need a basic transparent back case, I use the Spigen Ultra-Hybrid Gunmetal.
2) You need a cutout for the back, there are multiple ways of doing it. If you buy a ringke fusion you get a cutout for free. If you dont like it, you can make it yourself. Place the phone on a white paper, outline the case using a pencil. Cut along the outline. you can leave a little space and cut along depending how thick your bumper is. Now place the cutout in the case and see if you need any adjustments. Similarly make a camera viewport cutout. Now you should have piece of paper that exactly fits into the case.
3) Take a good printout of whatever you want to show off and using the cutout you made as a reference, make the printed cutout you want in your case.
4) Voila! you are done. If you do it precisely you should have a flawless custom made back case. Mine almost looks like it is printed on the polycarbonate back.
Here's a Naruto one I made for myself:
