Have anyone tried this decal (or something like it) on their Omnia 7?

Try gelaskin, u can get better design there. Just google gelaskin for samsung omnia 7~
I tried gelaskin for my omnia. I used my own skin.
Well, i can't post link to image but i was really pleased by the result.
Quality of the skin is there and it's not complicated to apply it on the phone.
I was the best way i found to protect my phone. Case currently available are not really sexy and i wanted something with color.
Definitely recommend GelaSkins, I have a plain white skin (just with my initials). The buttons and the text aren't printed in super high detail, but it's done its job well (hiding the cheap, ugly screen protector I use).

Hey all,
I've wanted some kind of casing even before I had my TC.
A leather thing would be most protective, but mostly that will be in book or booklet form, which is very unhandy to make phonecalls.
However there are a bunch of metalic or silicon cases available too. I was wondering which one to buy, for example http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000220&products_id=7161 seems pretty good except for the awful "With transparent plastic protection.". Which pretty much ****s up the total TouchFLO thing.
What do you think?
well the screen is the most sensitiv part of the phone
it would break more easy then anything else of the pda
The only ones that I have found are from pdair. I would like to see a glove fit or skin that would leave the front open for the touch flo.
I'm ordering mine from ebay...Search for HTC Touch Cruise. Much cheaper than pdair; and for the same product.
Let me know if it is any good, I'll wait, as I'm not much on the road right now.

Hey SabbeRubbish, I have bought a case for my X800 its not designed for wither the TC or the X800 but it does the job it’s a slip case from Ted Baker London its black with a purple lining its quite cheap and real leather so it might be in your interest to see it. And it covers the screen completely meaning no scratches and accidental unlocking the screen?
Sounds good, can you post a few pictures? Thanks
Touch cruise comes with a lovely, very classy, black velevet/suede pouch (slip case). Very elegant and protective. I don't think you need another one.
Since the Cruise is a relatively new device, there's not much in "specific" cases. You can get pouches that are fit for device that are similar in size and shape. Here are some of the ones that I found that are "compatible" with the Cruise.

Thanks for the reply, but I was looking more for something to hold the TC, rather than to burry it in. It's a phone, and I should be able to answer it withing 10s, not having to get it out of some kind of pouch.
I was thinking more like:
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000220&products_id=7160
but that's somewhat too unhandy to call with (I think, any experience?).
Maybe something like:

I don't know, opening a little flap or pulling out a device out of a pouch shouldn't take anyone that much time. The flip cases are a PIA (IMHO) and most other cases add bulk to the device. The Cruise is not that small to begin with.
Of course, preference is the key when selecting a case.
True, but I don't want the hassle of a pouch when risking the TC to fall out if it all goes quickly. Therefore I was thinking of the aluminum casing in which it is tightly held. That way impact damage will be less. But I think leather protects best against any falling damage. And no I'm not planning on dropping it a lot or giving it to friends or children

there it is sorry i took so long to post i had 2 days off so i spent them away from anything electircal lol except my touch which arived monday morning. its the one thing the shiny screen surround but an almost like brushed aluminum keys. really happy with it other than vedio quality.
but anyway that the case ive got but instead of green its purple. and ignore the phone inside the case in the pic its a universal case but it fits the tc slightly losely which is a really nice fit in my opinion then again ive never really liked tight fiting cases.

Thanks for the link, I had seen it before, but one big issue:
With translucent plastic cover to protect display screen.

Which makes me wonder: will TouchFLO work?

Ummm... What is standard screen protector made of? One which comes with TC?
Plastic?
Just curious...
I'm not sure, and can't find anything online about it, but it feels like plastic, definitely not glass or rubber
I guess that it *might* work with this kind of cover, but it should almost stick to the screen like the screen protector. And then again, if doesn't really stick to it, it doesn't protect the screen from filth coming through...

Wow, the Vaja is sure nice
http://www.vajacases.com/home/home_en.html
But expensive!! I like this a lot.
I'm agree: Vaja is very very nice but expensive.
Noreve will ship its case 02/12/2008.
Good quality too but just a little bit less expensive than Vaja.

Unfortunately, they don't have cases for the Touch Cruise yet
OK, so I'm probably getting a FUZE.
But, I have to tell you -- I am underwhelmed by many aspects of what AT&T did to customize it. So, I'm looking for info/discussion on what I can do to remedy:
1. GUI: AT&T seems to have ruined the slick, black TF3D GUI. WTF? Why go inverse and make it a white-based GUI? It looks weak. I'm surprised there isn't more hubbub about this. It just doesn't put TF3D's best foot forward, IMHO. I am not necessarily interested in flashing ROMs... but I have not seen anyone with a FUZE able to change the GUI without ROM switch. What are the possibilities here?
2. Backplate - the Sprint Touch Pro backplate is gorgeous (as is their TF3D GUI). And I think the entire Sprint case is more rounded across the board. Makes the unit look very slick, and frankly, skinnier and smaller. I do not expect to be able to replace the entire case (can I?), but I would like to replace the backplate with a matte version (and preferably the Sprint's version). What backplate options will I have?
3. Is the screen glass or plastic? I've read that the original Touch Pro is very scratchable, but on another review site, it said that Sprint's version was made of glass.
Any info appreciated.

Sprint's version completely takes away from the sexiness, IMO. I don't see the battery covers being interchangeable with the Fuze. Only think I have found was this... http://www.expansys-usa.com/p.aspx?i=172018 Not sure if it will fit the Fuze, but the matte is a lil better looking to me.

I guess it's a matter of taste, but I find a smooth, clean surface to be preferable to a sculpted on for simple in-hand feel.
Thanks for the link -- it does look like the matte, but it's deeper than the original back because it's for the extended battery.
We need to find the matte back for the original batter if I can't afix the Sprint one (and I'm betting I can't, because the Sprint TP looks like an entirely different case from all aspects).
i was just wondering has anyone tried either of these case as they look really good
http://www.fommy.co.uk/view-full-pa...=Samsung+Galaxy+S+i9000&cat=Cases&skuno=88767
or the
http://www.fommy.co.uk/view-full-pa...=Samsung+Galaxy+S+i9000&cat=Cases&skuno=88784
i noticed the second doesn't have speaker holes so not sure what it would be like and i was wondering has any1 tried it and how they thought how good or bad these case where? thanks in advance
not yet, but yes they do look really good.
we have sooo many choices for silicon style cases, that is a good thing
I have this one:
iTALKonline ProGel BLACK Super Hydro Gel Protective Armour
(look in amazon.co.uk, it seems I still can't post outside links)
I like it but the side buttons are a really hard to press. Almost impossible to adjust the volume with one hand while on the phone.
Now the first one you posted looks really nice. It seems to cover the side buttons as well but I like it.
http://mobile.brando.com/samsung-i9000-galaxy-s-jelly-soft-plastic-case_p05570c1355d011.html
This one is great, I have a transparent one.
i've seen those on ebay, we have a link of that on the Case topic
Just don't buy these cheap case. Side buttons are not usable, it's just waste of money. It's better to add a 10£ extra and get a quality one.

Hi has anyone tried the GelaSkins available for the DHD? they look pretty sweet:
http://www.gelaskins.com/store/skins/phones/HTC_Desire_HD/
The iphone skins have some good reviews on youtube.
Might look at getting a custom one sent out in the next few weeks.
They look nice. A good way to make your phone more unique.
Fashion for the phone. Minimal protection I expect.
Post some pics please if you get one in the future.
nice .. but i think protection is more important .. is there any case (softcase or any) that also have design like this too ? it will be more interesting ..
I like the one which london city, i remember it is a game on iphone. forgot what is the name, is it on android by any chance?
I had a few of these skins for ny iPhone. its a nice way to customize your phone but that's about it. will only protect against very light scratches. you'll need a proper case if your prone to dropping your phone. if your not or like your phone to be naked then by all means go this route.
i am using one gelaskin. well its very nice but it doesn't protect from falls, just from scratches. but it changes the look of your device. i love them!
I have GelaSkins on my iPhone and also on my Kindle 3. They look really nice if you apply them correctly (I managed to install mine just fine, though the youtube videos made it look exceptionally hard).
However, I prefer them much more on the Kindle as its a bigger device and also, less prone to needing too much protection.
I used the iPhone with just the skin for a few days, then gave up and started using it with the skin AND a case. So not really worth it, IMO, if you want protection.
With the design of the DHD, I feel the skins are useless as I would always be worried about the Sim cover popping off if I used it naked. I use it with a silicon back cover and am happy.
Overall, save your money
Full disclosure: The guys over at Cruzerlite helped out Carbon when no one had heard of use by donating a few free cases so we could run some giveaways on our social networks. We went to them because we liked their product and the way that they interacted with the Android community. They were so excited about their new skin product that they arranged to ship a MotoX and one of their skins to me so that I might review it and give them, and you, my honest feedback. The device and skins have been since sent back to them. I was not paid or otherwise compensated for this review. Mostly I just wanted to check out a new product, have an excuse to play with a Moto X, and play with the lightbox I built last week.
I hate cases. To me, they've always been a necessary evil. I generally go with the thinnest TPU case I can find so I know my phone will be protected, and try and find one that actually looks cool. Which is why I've always liked the Cruzerlite cases. Very android friendly, and there were always lots of looks to choose from - android themes, art, etc. My favorite was the Tardis case. I was always very careful with my device. But scratches and things happen, and like many of you I never plan to stay with one device for more than a year or so. That means you gotta keep it looking like new so you can sell it later.
To me, that's the niche that the Cruzerlite skins occupy. If you drop your phone all the time this product isn't going to keep you from denting it or smashing the glass. It's vinyl, not TPU. If you're a purist who insist on rocking a totally naked phone, this product also isn't for you. If you're one of the many who hate cases but want to protect the phone in some way, or are confident in your ability to not drop your phone but want a custom look, then this product is where it's at. It'll protect your device from light damage, give you any look you want, and preserve the size and feel of your device.
The product comes in the form of thick vinyl stickers. As it's a brand new product they don't yet have a set of instructions on the site. They tell me they have that in the works and we should see them soon. With that in mind, I'll overshare my installation process and what I learned for you folks. Cruzerlite clearly wanted to make sure that you'd be happy with the installation of this product, so they've given you a single sticker for the back, two sets of stickers for the sides, and three sets for the front. You can screw this up and try again without ordering a new set. Note that I say stickers, but this is actually vinyl of a nice thickness, not some elmo sticker you'd get from the doctor after a checkup.
So having checked out both the vinyl and the Moto X I setup my lightbox and got down to business. I applied the back vinyl, taking great care to align the camera and microphone. It worked, after a fashion - it looked like a sticker slapped on a phone. A phone with a lot of curves. So far... meh. I stuck the sides on as well. It looked... like a bunch of stickers slapped on a phone. They didn't conform to the curves of the phone at all. So I called up Joel at Cruzerlite and told him that while I thought he had a nice idea, this was probable something that would only work on a phone with simple surfaces like an iphone. I showed him how it looked and he asked me when I was planning to finish the installation. Finish the installation? What? Heat. You apply heat after installation. Ohhhhhh. For a guy who was just told that his half-installed product wasn't very good, he was pretty cool about it. Thanks Joel.
Ok, so with that in mind, I dug out the hair dryer and got to heating. It looked a lot better. With a bit of heat and some pressure with my fingers, the vinyl conformed to the curves of the device and started to look like they belonged there. That said, because I installed them like they were stickers, there were gaps. Teal gaps. It didn't look great - but that was on me.
You might want to color match better than I did. Teal and
wood grain aren't known for being a classic combination.
So the first install didn't look so great. The vinyl was curved to match the phone, but I had ugly gaps that ruined the look. When I put the sides on, I aligned things like I would with regular stickers - not heat shrinking vinyl. But Cruzerlite clearly anticipated that, so I had more! Off came the vinyl on the sides and and back to square one. This time, I made sure there was some overlap so that when heat was applied, it would properly fit. Here's what it looked like:
You can already tell it's going to come out better this time. Out comes the hair dryer!
Now we're talking. No gaps, all the buttons are nicely cut out... it looks great. Again, the color combination shows why I'm not ever going to be a graphic designer, but it certainly highlights just how well the product fits the device. There's a slight edge where the vinyl on the sides and the back overlap. It's not unpleasant, but I'd like to play with this product some more to see if I could even avoid that. I've asked Cruzerlite to send me a few more and another phone, and hope to have a follow up on this in the future.
Yes, it has front stickers. The great thing about this product is it's up to you what you apply - if you don't want the front stickers, don't put them on. You could even mix and match them if you wanted. Get different colors and make the phone version of this:
Yes, that's a real thing. It's a Harlequin Golf and comes
that way from the factory. Please don't do this to your phone.
So after installing and playing with this, I like it. The vinyl is thick enough to feel like a high quality and durable product and on the whole I found it to be easier to apply than a screen protector. Sure, it's a bit tricky to align, but you don't have to worry about dust and the use of heat makes this a relatively forgiving product. I'm certain that I didn't do a perfect job with this, but I don't hate it the way you'd hate a screen protector with a bit of dust under it. I did manage to tweak the back a bit when applying it, and you can see the bulge from it. Again, this is something that I'd be able to differently now that I know how the product works so I'm not particularly concerned about it.
Cruzerlite has a whole range of vinyl to choose from too - 57 at the time of this review. There's wood grain, antibacterial colors, metallic, and leather skins. We're spoiled for choice and if you can't find something you like you might want to ask yourself why you're so picky.
I'd say this is a buy. They look great, feel great, and will do a fantastic job of protecting your phone from light damage. They're easy to apply, and at just under ten dollars you can't beat the price. For those of you who picked up a Moto X before Motomaker was a thing, this is a great way to change your phone's look without buying a new one, or get the look of wood without paying an extra hundred bucks for a single woodgrain option. (bamboo? seriously?) At the time of this review, the skins are available for the Moto X, Nexus 5, Note 3, Galaxy S4, and iPhone 5/5s.
I'll update this thread in the future if I can get my hands on another device and more vinyl. If possible I'll try something other than wood grain, too.
