One of the reviews say it's not real.
I dont think you're going to find one. real carbon fiber to make into a case would require some expensive tooling or someone to hand make each one. Your best bet might be to buy a sheet of carbon fiber and a cheap case and glue panels to the case.

That is pretty much what the BodyGuardz armor is, sheets of vinyl that look like CF that you apply to the body of the phone. I bet it's just 3M Di-NOC cut to fit the SR, in which case just get a 4"x8" sample from 3M for $8: http://store.carbonfibergear.com/3m-di-noc-carbon-fiber-vinyl/ and cut it yourself. More colours there too...
A *real* CF case will probably not ever be produced, for the reasons listed above. The only phone I know of that has a real one is the iPhone, since there are millions of them, and they are all the same, so the market is larger.

Ya i had one on my iphone and thought someone might make one for the skyrocket. I guess there are way too many variations of the galaxy s2.
I'll probably end up getting the overlays.
Thx everyone.

I bought a sheet off ebay like a year ago. It was a 1'x3' foot sheet for I think $12. I've cut it and put it on all kinds of stuff. If it's flat (like the battery door on the skyrocket) its really easy, just stick it on then trim the edges with a razor blade. If it's a curved surface then you'll need some heat (blow dryer) to conform it to the curves. And don't worry if you mess it up just peel it off, and try again.
One of the posters above posted a link to some from carbon fiber gear.com but you can get it on ebay too. The 3M brand is the best (imo) but I've seen glossy sheets before too, they look more "real" but I have no experience with them.

i just ordered from ebay a 3m di-noc glossy carbon fiber sheet 12" x 12"

Interesting... making your own case.
Tell us how it works.
I might get myself some epoxy and some carbon fiber myself. My back is pretty scratched up anyways.

We're not actually making a real carbon fiber case. It's a vinyl sticker that looks like carbon fiber. You just stick it to the phone and trim the edges.

Google this: B0061V1FAQ
I don't use the invisible-shield like screen protector that comes with this, but the skin fits beautifully .

Saw that already. The 3m di-noc is the best vinyl apparently. I've seen a few cars wrapped in person with it and it's the most realistic looking stuff.

heyy, I have been watching your videos on these cases over and over and over again, and other videos on cruzerlite cases for the nexus 4 and i cant decide on wether to buy the cruzerlite bugdroid cirtuit one or the cruzerlite clone army one....which one would you recomend out of the two? and why? and which one just looks the best? and FINALLY which colour would be the nicest? i was thinking about buying the green one but i dnt really know, so whuch colour would you also recomend?
thanks

Circuit ..no doubt... Why? Style that's all. I like the design better. Color? Smoke cause I can still see the back logo and it doesn't call much attention Atty the office but If I didn't work wearing a suit everyday I would go for the green

Galaxy S4 Slim Armor View

What do you think of this new case for our S4?
pretty strange i think lol.

That is so cool! I love my slim armour.. is the price wasn't so steep I'd be seriously tempted.

Thats great I quite enjoy my original samsung sview cover only thing it lacked was protection this solves that, if I hadn't ordered the spigen clear cover case for my sview I would be all over this

Like space age pod for your phone

Damnit spigen stahp

i'm not that impressed, especially based on what they are charging and i own 3 spigen cases for my s4... then again, i'm also not happy with their marketing tactics when it comes to the neo hybrid frames.

This really resembles the UAG case I got from amazon for my s3. Was going to go with UAG again but this has a front cover too so may try this first.

Well I understand that, but honestly I get the feeling they don't have the inventory for that yet. Considering I still had to wait a couple extra days for a black one, it just makes more business sense for them to sell the full units only until they have an excess of frames. Now, in 6 months if they're still selling the case only, then that would be not cool.

The "customization"

it's deceptive marketing with the neo frames. i know if the FTC was made aware Spigen would have two choices: a) offer the frames b) stop marketing the product as customization.

dont know about that.
I wonder if they will only make this one on white,because many people may want some other colors.so maybe they could make at least the same colours they did on slim armor normal cases.

Cool case. I may buy one to use at work (I'm in the construction business). However, using it when I'm not at work - no. It's just too bulky in my opinion.

Clever idea but definitely seems that it would be too bulky for every day use

Got the case now.
For me it is fantastic.. The attention to detail on the cutouts is great. They really looked at the phone lines and respected them
I can understand some might feel it makes the phone feel less premium, but for me it is the opposite. The slightly granular texture works great (feels secure) and I like the tint the black semi transparent gives my pink phone
This one I think will be my main case now
(Just need to sorry out the best screen protector option now

Also...
The FrostCover does work in the DK32 cradle without mods.
When using the 32B tray insert.
It is a tight fit (not just a 'drop it in',. you need a little bit of a wiggle).. but no mods needed
Cool

I'd buy one if not for the price and cut out for the XPERIA logo.

Dot Case

So I saw the dot case in store on the display model, which we have all probably seen, However which the security device on the back side of the display models I was unable to notice this (see pictures) and I did not notice it in any of the reviews.
I really like the concept of the minimal 8bit lock screen which the dot case and further more the option to answer and make calls without opening is a great plus.
That said it's a shame I won't be using the case now that I have it. The lid does not close flush on the back when open which means the right hand must simple hold the phone and case preventing the right thumb from being able to be used to type / navigate on the screen. And if you were to not hold the lid flush against the back your left and can not maintain a firm grip on the phone because the lid is a tpu material which renders it a bit slippery.
This disappoints me because I really like the features it add.
* note to mods our accessories link is not working this is the reason this thread is in general and not /accessories

I noticed that too. I'm hoping mine just breaks in to a point where it was like my note flip case
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using xda app-developers app

you dont think it will soften up over time?

This has been mentioned in the Dot View review thread, Others have said it is nearly impossible to type with the cover folded back unless you are really pushing on it.
The case itself does not appear to provide much, if any protection to the back and sides. The Dot View look is cool but with the lack of protection and the flip cover not laying flat, I passed.

Same here after playing with it in store. More of a "cheap gimmick" case imo. Looks cool at night to show off to Ur friends but for any protection, day to day use, and the dot dirt it leaves on screen. Obviously not much thought went into this case outside of the "gimmicks."
Maybe if a soft see through cloth was on the inside of the lid so no dot dirt goes on device, lid actually was flexible to bend back and stay there, feel secure when closed, and had more protection then a cheap $5 knock off case, it would be well worth the $30 maybe $40 tops. Watch a cheap Chinese knock off becomes available on eBay in a few months with all these improvements and half the price, lol!

Lol, not much thought went into this case???? Ok. I think a lot of thought went into this case, and I think they did a excellent job on it! The case, is meant to use while on the go. Like driving, and at work. Hence the reason for the features it carries. It's not meant to text with it. Lol. Just saying. Everyone has their opinions though.

Not flaming, serious question.... Are you saying that you remove your case when texting or otherwise using your phone?
Imo a if your a case type of person wouldn't u want a case to leave on at all times?
I even like the display when the lid is on, in fact once we have write on the /system I fully intend on making it an optional lock screen when no security it being used.
