Carbon fiber skin for the back

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

Fitment is perfect and they are a pleasure to deal with

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

Need a sturdy case

I'm driving trucks for a living and need something that can take the bumps and drops. I'm in Australia so I need it to be available for me here

Ballistics SG! It was just a tad too much for me when I had it, but the case felt really really nice.

I want to suggest ballistic SG as well. You can grab one from Amazon for less than $20 and yet its very durable and effective. I dropped mine several times and the phone is still in pristine condition. Make sure you also grab a screen protector.

Not sure if you can get it, but I personally swear by Otterbox. Had it on my other phones and provided great protection. I don't think you're one to care about bulk, so I'd suggest the Otterbox. Plus, they have lifetime warranty on their cases; so if your case gets destroyed or the rubber flaps start to rip off, call them up and they'll ship you a brand new one for free.

I personally feel About Turning Leather Protective Sleeve, comprehensive protection outside dust, scratches can be very good to protect your phone is a good choice!! :fingers-crossed:

Throwing in another vote for the Otterbox, you can even find them on eBay for cheaper than retail.

+1 on Ballistic SG, I work outdoors and have dropped my phone many times and no problems, it's a bit bulky but well designed
Sent from my HTC One XL
available on Ebay Australia http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GENUINE-...ccessories&hash=item2ec0b1856c#ht_4595wt_1141

Thanks for the suggestions peeps, I might try the ballistic first then the otterbox if that doesn't work for me

God, att always gets the ugliest cases for their phones that are marked way up. 40 for an incipio case that looks like garbage? No thanks. If they partnered with uag or siedio they'd sell so much more.
coming from the og one x

Not impressed by any of those and they're probably ridiculously expensive. Thankfully I have a cheap TPU case coming in the mail to hold me over until I get my Spigen Neo Hybrid.

Sprint S4 here. I felt like putting my two cents in. Save your money and get a better case for your $40. Yikes

Those are not anything I would get but hopefully they will have the S-View cover which is something I am interested in.

Check out iskins case! looks soo much better than these! just ordered my self one!! i think they have made the best case so far

i'm waiting for the Incipio Frequency in black. i've seen some of the cheaper TPU cases by Diztronic and Boxwave, but they all have glossy parts even on their Matte TPU cases (High Gloss TPU Frames the Display). i want full Matte. no gloss anywhere. unfortunately, ZooGue won't have theirs out anytime soon. at 10 bucks, they're what i really want but will have to settle for a $25 Incipio sometime next week.

Posted more cases that we received today in OP.

Best Cheap case![Air Mesh]Caseology Dual Layer Armor Case

Best Case I've used so far. The caseology dual layer.
It gives great protection, just adds a little bulk, case with a good grip.
There's a lot of cool color combination and best of all its just 7.99$.
the Quality is amazing, you can compare it with those 30-40$ case, I highly recommend this case!
Here's the Link:

Cool! It's close to my Spigen Neo Hybrid but it costs a third of. Now I'm looking for an economic thinner case. I've seen a lot of tpu cases but the only thing I really want is an edge that protect camera glass.:good::good:

Wife has the purple one on her S5. She loves it and the price was spot on :good: I'm a case whore so I think I'm going to try the gold mesh one for mine, currently using a Spigen.

just bought one of these myself. got the android green one with the iCarez 9H Tempered Glass screen protector. Hope it fits with the case, guess we'll find out!
thanks for the find!

- Off Topic- i just realise
Just bought this real leather flip cove caser on Amazon.de (Germany) for 6,99 euro`s. Link http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00IXEKEW4/ref=pe_386171_38075861_TE_item_image.

I don't like magnet near the device. I'm always scared about that

Tablets have been utilizing the tech for awhile now, I think it'll be okay unless you have a floppy disk reader or platter-based hard disk in there!

just got the case today. fits really well. the only thing i dont like is the sides seem a little sharp. im sure that will wear down in time. also i recommend the iCarez 9H Tempered Glass screen protector for this phone.

just ordered this. same color as OP. yay for free shipping

I have the case, its nice and good protection also very well priced. But for me this case adds way too much bulk onto the phone, I've made the brave choice to be caseless

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.
