I decided to check out a skin to increase the grip on my Touchpad. As I already have the Skinomi TechSkin on my SGSII which I find to be great, that`s a natural choice for my pad.
On clearance at $16.95 for the carbon fibre or wood effect for the Jaguar owners club and $12.95 for the clear. The body cover includes a screen protector also available for $6.95. Shipping to the UK is $5.95 BUT the GET25 code works for 25% off even though it`s on clearance. So for £12.07 shipped I get a full body cover and screen protector. Not bad!
Had my SGSII for about four months and it still looks brand new.

Saw this on FatWallet.com or slickdeals.net (forget which) and jumped on it.
I just paid $12.71US for the carbon fiber full skin and screen protector delivered!
Hell, I paid close to $30 for fully skinning my G-Tablet in woodgrain (looks awesome after 8 months, BTW).
just paid under $10 shipped for the clear. I'll come back after i install it and let you know how it went. thanks for the heads up on this.
The Touchpad is a little slippy for my taste and I find the HP case flap a little awkward at times but the CF skin adds a nice amount of friction and does protect from small knocks. Dropped my SGSII a couple of times no damage so far, though with the weight of the TP don`t think it would be that effective on to something hard from any great height. How well it forms to fit the curvy back remains to be seen. Still I`ll post feedback when I get it.
Don't buy if you want the back completely covered
Anybody considering these - be warned. They decided to cut holes in the back skin to reveal the hideous HP logo for some reason.
Neither their pictures nor descriptions on the website I ordered from showed or mentioned this design change/bad idea anywhere. So basically, what you see is NOT what you get.
Anyway, they are not interested in taking care of a repeat customer so my order was cancelled and a refund issued. That's OK, plenty of other companies standing in line to take my money.
Doesn't the cut out center hole have its own circle that could be placed back into the open area? What site sells a carbon fiber back without the cutout hole?
didn't like how the CF fitment looked so I just got the clear. Besides, my TP is always in the HP case anyways. Just wanted a little extra protection

If it does ... and you did put it back, that would really look like pure crap.
Maybe there's a chance the circle won't remove unless provoked? Just not into the idea of $30 for one of these carbon fiber cutouts, especially if the corners are questionable. I'm more concerned about boxwave or clarivue style anti-glare protectors to make the screen feel different. Personally, I find the HP logo on the back to be fugly, but there doesn't seem to be many options besides the folio cases that don't excite me too much.

Looks like it's mentioned and shown. On the carbon fiber pic, you can see the logo cutout clearly if you're looking for it, and can't see it if you aren't. No dishonesty there.

That was all changed well AFTER I called them out on several forums and cancelled my order.
Doesn't change a thing - even though they "tried" to line up the pattern I can see the circle clearly, even in those small pictures - as will anyone who gives it more than a glance. Looks like absolute ghetto to me. Here is one of the original pictures in this post: http://forums.precentral.net/hp-touchpad-accessories/298321-skinomi-techskins-touchpad-clearance-2.html#post3152302. Is that clear enough?
Maybe that is good enough for some of you, but I have higher aesthetic standards. The appearance though is only part of it. I was more disappointed by their behavior in changing the product AFTER a number of people had placed orders. They will have some returned when people see how they actually look in person.

I knew something was fishy, as I swore they had photos showing no circle cutout.
I just got mine installed the hole in the opposite direction to the normal grain. It has an Escher affect to it that I like.
Any alignment issues? Mine's still sitting here, unopened. Unsure if I'll even use it. A return would probably only get me $8 or 9 dollars back.

could you upload pics of your skin?
Mine finally arrived. The fitting was easy but as ever with this job lining things up is the hardest part I was about 1 mm top to bottom and about 1/2mm to the side out in placing the CF skin but it`s close enough. The screen protector is accurately cut but again after about 5 goes lining it up I ended up about 1mm out and got a dust mote trapped under it. Very clear after only 12 hours and has a good feel to it. Almost as good as the glass but doesn`t show fingerprints off any where near as much.

I highly recommend them. They worked flawlessly on my Evo. And I had the Full Screen Protector and Carbon Fiber on my Evo. And I plan on purchasing for my Epic too.
http://phantomskinz.com/samsungepic4gchromaticsgalaxys.aspx
Also here is a coupon for 30% off. summersale2010
I hear that Phantomskinz are easily scratched. I know that they will still protect the phone even if they do get scratched, but then you still end up looking at a scratched skin for as long as you have it. Have you had any problems with that?
PS' site labels the product as "self-healing" from scratches, but from what I've read it seems as though even a moderately large/deep scratch manages to stay put. Other than that, PS skins are supposed to be great, but that was the reason I was initially turned off from them.

They are self healing. I had 2 scratches on my Evo from dropping it and they disappeared in like 2 or 3 days. And whenever it looked a little blurry I would just use some polishing compound and rub it and it came back to a new state.
I have tried many of these covers and phantom skinz are the best in terms of not even noticing it is on the device. Also they are slick and generally you just forget they are even there. Bestskinsever and invisible shields almost always have a slightly bumpy texture or graininess that I could never use.

1+ Exactly.
Just purchased mine. Matte version for me though, I hope it's as nice of quality as people say. It was a touch decision, but since wrapsol hasn't released their skin yet and neither has Stenheil, I made the leap
Use the coupon code "summersale2010" to get 30% off! That made it a nice deal.
Gonna purchase a set but quick question , Is it ok to use without a pouch or case , it wont lift from keeping the phone in my pockets..
I would like to know if there are lifting issues also.

I know from experience that this are WAY better than Zagg invisible shield and they do NOT have lifting issues whatsoever.
does it protect the screen too? i watched some of the installatioin vids, and it doesnt look like it covers the screen...
just curious to those who ordered, which skin did you get? the black carbon looks cool because it blends in with the black, i noticed on the white carbon that it does not cover the entire back with some black spots showing.
i hate applying skins on phones with curves its a pita

I did it on the Evo and it looked AWESOME. So I'm guessing it will look nice here too.
I personally went with the Matte one because... well, matte is a great finish and I'm hoping it's a cut above the clear case when it comes to glare/reflections. Oh, and the chromatic are just too ostentatious for me.
Haha I got the carbon fiber though now I want other colors when they come out.
Has anyone managed to get the bottom back corners on in any satisfactory fashion? I guess I must've stretched them out trying to get them to go down...took me a while to realize I'd have to prioritize the outside edge and let the inside flatter stuff overlap or hit at weird angles if they have to.
Has anyone used gadgetwarranty before? If it really is as easy as they make it seem, I like knowing that if this falls off in a week because of some raised edges that I can get a new one for $3 + stamp.
I got my back on nearly perfectly, however I'm noticing what I think are stretch marks from using their application tool Luckily, the internet special gave me 2 skins so I get another chance! I'll probably apply the second back today with great care and see how it looks.
On a side note, I bought the matte finish skin and applied that to the screen as well. To anyone thinking of buying this finish, it's wonderful but DO NOT apply the matte screen protector. The skin kit comes with 2 matte and 2 clear screen covers as well as 2 full body matte covers. I suggest using the clear ones as the matte screen covers massively distorts the beautiful screen.
For $18, 4 screen covers and 2 full body covers with lifetime warranty is a pretty great deal!
chromatic skin
heres the lime green skin that i purchased from them and i really like it. im gonna try out the carbon fiber next time. here are some pics for you guys to see.

I thought the chromatics would look tacky but it actually looks pretty awesome!
Great fit too it seems! Was about to order the clear skin but I might actually get a blue chromatic now!
Does it come with a clear cut out protector for the camera or no?

Awww. I'm mostly worried about the camera protruding so much! My nexus camera lense got scratches ALL over from setting it down on tables.
But I agree. The carbon fiber is a odd texture and looks too slippery.

So i shouldnt get the carbon fiber ones then? i wanted to try it out
But the lime green chromatic does feel really good. soft feel, sticks on quick and smooth. It also comes with 2 anti-fingerprint screen protectors which i am digging but got couple air bubbles i cant get rid of. still trying though
I, like many others i`m sure, is looking for a good quality shell for a Omnia 7. Can`t find anything as yet.
If you do see a good shell, please post a link here.
Thank you!!
I bought this one from eBay which has arrived today:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SAMSUNG-I8700..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item43a3706915
It's ok, thought I would recommend getting the black one rather than the smoked one I have. The only issue I have is that the sleep, camera and volume buttons are a bit difficult to press with the case one. I think it may soften or loosen up with a bit of use so I'll keep it on for now and see how it goes.
DC
Yup they soften up
i was the same. But few days now and they are nice and easy to press.
I did give them a bit of a warming up by clicking them a fair few times, but does work to loosen the silicone up.
I got the black one as you can see by this post/pics

I'm struggling with screen protectors though. I ordered some cheapy ones from a German seller but, with the greatest of respect, they're utter dogsh1t. Far too thin, scratched by a piece of card I was using to push bubbles out.
I really want to find a nice anti-glare protector if I can, otherwise I'll be going the Martin Fields route.

Sounds like you got the same ones as me, That's my 4th film heh... I know why they put 6 in there now but for £4........ or a scratched phone ?
Ether way mine is more protected than my other parts of me have ever been
btw i found it's less pressure with the card, and more laying it down and just ever so slowly backing it up and using the card to make sure the bubble you saw don't re-lay where it was.
I'm no expert but 1st go was a joke.... so many bubbles i laughed hard...
2nd better but no dice,
3rd was brilliant apart from a few bits, and my mind just made me take it off and start again
4th was perfect give or take 1 - 3 bubbles i can live with until i try again
You want to hear how my mate managed with an ipad XD
I am having trouble finding screen protectors as well. I think I ordered the same thing as you guys (bedifol ultraclear) from protectionfilms24 but when I went to their site, it seems it's pretty much their lowest range and looking at the reviews for the various cuts they offer for other phones, I am just wondering if it's worth not having a screen protector at all.
Please let me know if you have managed to found one that is good.
Cheers.
Low range - high range.... It was ALL that was out when i got the phone/wanted protection
It does what it says.
It protects the screen XD
0.05mm thick - Same as the "one" for £8 which i bought as with the £3 one to test all of them, Recently bought the martin fields and imo... it tints it for me.... i like the clear/glazed protectors which look like the glass it should be.
So 6 for £4 is win win
I got a screen protector from here http://www.devdef.com/products/for-samsung-omnia-7 (actually I got two), but I found that they're pretty good and by far the easiest to install of any screen protector I've ever used. To apply it, you need to moisten it (instructions are on the site), and then you can slide it over the surface of the phone, before it dries, until you get the perfect positioning. Bubbles are also easy to remove because of this - you just have to do it before it sets. The only drawback, really, is that it's pretty reflective. I don't notice very much in use, but it reflects bright lights quite a lot, so if you're looking for anti-reflective coating, I'd give this a miss. Also on a plus - it's pretty strong as you can see from the video on the site. Also, as the instructions say, it improves the longer it's on your device. Initially it looks a bit poor, but stick with it (no pun intended )

I got mine few weeks already from amazon:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/GEL-CASE-SA...W8MW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1292094897&sr=8-3
Very nice indeed. And I am using savvy screen protector, little rubbery in touch but not bad at all
Yeah, I used fairy liquid and water, and you only need a tiny amount of fairy liquid - it's concentrated, you know ;-), and you also only need very little of the solution on the screen protector. Also, as I mentioned it looks pants to start off with, and it takes a while to dry, but eventually it looks fine. If you like a shiny screen protector.
I bought both of them on eBay. Very fine !

As promised the pics of the CM barely there case.
edit: It also came with a free screen protector & a piece of cleaning cloth which I haven't used yet. Waiting for my current screen protector to be bit more scratched up (martin fields). Shouldn't take long.
That case looks really good just a pity I had to send my Omnia 7 away for repair!
What bothers me with these case is that I won't feel the cold metallic, sturdy cover finish in my hand anymore Is there any possibility to have a bumper instead?
Of course we need one of these threads.
I'm going to go buy a full body BodyGuardz this weekend and i'll report back with pictures, and a review. I've had a lot of bodyguardz for various phones, and they cover the best. They have the orange peel and sticky feel on the screen, but not nearly as bad as i've seen on Zagg. I've never once been satisfied with zagg.
I've tried Stealth Guards on my iphone and desire Z, and the screen protector is a good texture, feels smooth, no resistance. But they don't cover enough of the body.
Never owned BSE
I've had a Skinomi, and they have the same texture as the Stealth guards, but they seem to be very vulnerable to peeling. Also not enough body cover. (might as well buy the stealth guards, they're cheaper)
Anyone got any yet?
I just Installed Skinomi full body. I've had no issues so far and I like the results. I followed the direction to the T, but added the extra step of applying the protectors in a steam up bathroom. Helps minimize dust, and the stream aids in installation).

After work I will post some pictures, I have the product pictures on me right now. Another thing is the product states that once applied to at least allow 12-24? hours to use. I am using it less than that, probably a bad move on my part. So far no problems, we'll see by the end of today.

Skinomi full body.
thanks for the pics! the screen protector looks awesome. the full body could be a bit larger. the back looks funny haha. but i really like that screen protector, i've always liked skinomis compared to other brands.
Thanks. Ya I could do it again but pull'em tighter. But I am very satisfied. I was surprised by how the body peices held up, I figured they would peel off in my pocket, but no problems. The only con's I can think of is there are some thin exposed parts of the phone, imprint of object or finger nail leaves dimples but fade smoothly; slowly. If applied correctly it will last.

the bodyguardz kioske in the mall didn't have them in stock yet -_-. gotta order them online.. damnit
i got a invisible shield from best buy because i was impatient and didn't want to wait for shipping. they don't have the full body, so i got the screen protector.
i just finishd putting it on, the texture is different than previous zaggs i've used. also there are a bunch of horizontal lines evenly spaced (they were there before i put it on, not scratches) which you can see at certain angles. and they also have a little zagg logo on the bottom right of the screen protector.. that's new.. and annoying. it's hard to see, but since i know it's there. i don't like it -_-
i'll take some pictures when i can, but overall it's the same resistant non smooth that i dislike about zaggs.

I ordered it over the weekend in white after eye balling it for a week. I like minimalistic cases like tpu and silicone but wanted something more durable since the note will be traveling with me on vacation, this seems to be the perfect compromise of size and toughness. It reminds me of the Casemate Tough Case I have for my S2. If no one already posts it ill put up some pictures when I receive it.

I ordered mine. I don't expect it until at least the middle of July. I will post up pics when I get it too.

less expensive, ships from Amazon, now..Only one color though..
I've had mine a couple of weeks and love it! (Almost as much as bacon!)

@wase4711 it appears the poetic revolution doesn't have a cutout for the spen in the pictures, can you confirm? the op's case does
yes, ALL cutouts are there, and they all have protective, pull away covers on them, to help keep everything protected.

I considered that case, however, it is only available in black, and since the Note 8.0 is my first dance with a white device, I wanted a case that accented it nicely. The one I posted looks sharp with the black rubber around the white plastic. My tracking number shows it is in NY. Hope to get it by Saturday.

I had a rough time getting good snaps as I took them on my cell phone in a rather dark room. oh well. I tried to show all the ports and things that were in the case.
This thing makes my Note 8.0 feel 100% better in the hand. It's a very sharp case, and adds great character to the tablet. I'm glad I chose this one.
so, the tablet goes inside the rubber first, then the hard shell goes over it?
is the rubber nice and snug, or is it kinda loose?
looks nice!:good:

It's one piece. It's a bit flexible without the tablet in it, but you cannot bend it much past flexing the corners. The plastic back adds the rigidity. You just snap the tablet into the entire piece.
I will state that it doesn't afford hardly ANY top protection to the device. If you laid it on it's face on a table, there is approximately 3/32" of rubber between the tablet and the table. But the rest of the device seems very secure.
It truly is one of the nicest cases I have ever seen for any electronic device. It really changes the appearance and the way you handle the Note 8.0.

Glad to hear it's working out. Mine shows processed in NY 7/7/2013 so hopefully I'll get it soon but I'm a little worried because of no updates. Do you have a screen protector on your note? I have the SGP Ultra Clear and hope that the rubber lip will not interfere with it.

I don't use screen protectors. Especially on a device with an S-pen

I've had the case for a few days now and have been loving it. The First Class does fit super snug around the edges of the screen, so much so that my screen protector started to come up in a few areas. I had to massage those areas that were being raised and the SGP protector slipped under the case. The extra rubber on the ends helps when holding in landscape mode, it gives a nice gripping area that keeps you from accidentally hitting the capacitive buttons. It's very easy to pop off and on but I really don't see myself taking it out much, I like the Note better with the case on.

It's a REALLY nice case. It compliments the Note well. I have already had a number of people ask what it is and how cool it looks.
I ordered one of these on Monday. Although since they are coming from South Korea, it will take weeks before it arrives. I cant wait just hope my note 8.0 doesn't get beat up too much while i wait. In the meantime I'm gonna dive into some rom development.

Mine showed up in about 2 weeks.
Just got mine. Ordered it on the 7th arrived today on the 24th. Initial impressions are good.I like the raised volume and power keys. The other cut outs are deep. There is no slot of sim card, which might be a problem for people who swap sims out. The case adds a good amount of extra bezel to the device. This comes in a form of hard rubber. It makes it really reassuring that the phone is safe. Only problem is if the phone falls flat on its face there isn't that much rubber to protect it.
Overall best case I could find for the device. Highly recommended but be prepared for the long shipping time.
I hate cases. There, I said it. They're bulky, they're ugly, they make the device harder to use, and I always end up questioning how well they'll really protect the device. This has, however, lead to all sorts of scratches, nicks, and chips in my phones that make these expensive gadgets look like hell and hard to sell when I want to move up to the new hotness. With the improved quality, and what I assume is an increased fragility, of the new Galaxy S6, I figured it was time to cave in and looking for something that would make me hate using my phone. After some research, I decided to pull the trigger on a grey Orzly FlexiSlim on Amazon.
The FlexiSlim is a flexible, translucent case that can really be better described as a skin. At 0.5mm thick, it adds roughly the thickness of a standard business card to the device. While this isn't going to save your phone from a drop to the floor, it feels like a great way to keep your device from being scratched up from whatever is in your pocket. The bulk it adds is so minimal, the only thing giving way the presence of the case is the quality of the materials. I know it's going to be hard to top the premium feeling of the S6, but I would have been happy to pay a little more for something that felt less like rubber and more like the cool, slick feeling of glass. The advantage here, of course, is the FlexiSlim gives you a bit more grip and traction in the hand or a loose pocket than the naked phone. I don't want to imply the quality is low, here, so it's worth pointing out that the cutouts feel perfectly sized and placed and buttons end up flush, not recessed.
Overall, I'm extremely happy here and feel like I may have landed on the perfect case for case haters since I can easily forget the thing is even on, it doesn't distract from the phone's aesthetics, and it doesn't block wireless charging. If they were to create a fully transparent model, I would jump on that in a heartbeat.
Here are a couple of shots I took with my 100mm macro:
In the promo video they said the skin was 0.35mm

Interesting! The Amazon product page lists it out at 0.5mm. I couldn't tell you which one is more accurate, but somewhere between the two seems likely as it does seem just a bit thicker than a standard business card (around 0.3mm thick).
That's nice. Like you I wish there were a transparent option. What other colors does it come in ?

Never mind I see the link, thanks
Some nice pics buddy! Really does help to show off the thinness of the case. I'm guessing it is 0.35mm if it's coming from the manufacturer. I agree with what you said about cases that feel like rubber, there's many of those around which although add very little bulk, they don't feel particularly great, makes it feel like you're carrying any other phone you've had in the past.
it comes in that translucent black and white, so should look pretty neat against any of the s6 colours. In their video they only demonstrate it on the white device, can see the difference between the same case on your blue handset and their white version.

Here's the video embedded if anyone is interested in watching
Also in response to twoeleven99, from the same company they also do a completely transparent case, adds a bit more bulk to the phone than the slim case but shows off the phone nicely
That smoked white looks good on white s6..
i have the frosted white one for my black S6. its a very solid great case, just FYI there is a dark company logo on the side bottom near the speaker. its not bad at all but its something worth nothing.

Could you show some pictures of the black s6 with the white case, would appreciate it a lot!
Whoa this is superslim might have to get one. love the title
I was really tempted by this one opted for the speigen liquid thin instead as it has camera lens protection, tho the back is a finger print magent.

I have brought this case for my samsung s6 along with a few other cases from amazon.com. I have used Orzly in the past and believe they make good cases at good prices
This case for me is my favourite, i am sure this is the slimmest Samsung s6 case on the market. I like the fact that you can still see the samsung logo through the case.
I've been using the Obliq [Slim Meta] Ultra Slim Fit case so far and it's been nice. Can't seem to find the dimensions/weight of the Obliq - don't think it's as slim as the Orzly
Currently on offer on their main website, 50% off.
I've ordered both. Im getting the white S6, just cant decide which would look best on it!
thanks

I ordered the case but im getting my phone this week but haven't decided yet which color of the phone, since there is a video of how it looks in white already from orzlys part i would love to see how it looks in the black one
does it flattened exactly as the rear camera ? so that it will covering the camera module if we put it on the table
Hows the dust build up i and around the case, i notice that on invisible cases, this can be quite a problem, im hoping the smoke effect on this case may prevent that.
