Just would like to ask before buying a White Carbon or Black Leather Skin that I found in ebay,,,

http://cgi.ebay.com/Samsung-Galaxy-...597?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4156c2f935

I would like to ask about the quality of these, and the final look after installing it,,,

I found out that it is just a sticker,, so I no longer want one

Battery/back covers?

Does anyone know of anywhere to buy battery/back covers for our phones besides the factory white/black?
I'm not looking for a case, I don't want nor care for a case, I like to feel and see my phone, but I have not been able to find any battery/back covers. I'd love to get a carbon fiber battery/back cover and have the look of like the razor. I think it looks fantastic.
Only places I've tried or know to search on is eBay or Amazon.

I found these but they are for the i9100, not sure if it fits our phone. I only saw white/black specifically for our phone.

I saw an aluminum one on Amazon, I have yet to see a carbon fiber one for the Skyrocket though.

The the i9100 ones won't work, the camera opening is completely different. Those are like a square, the skyrocket is a vertical rectangle shape. Thanks for the idea though.

Have you thought about a skin instead of a whole new battery door?
There is a carbon fiber one here: http://www.skinomi.com/sk9778-samsung-galaxy-s2-skyrocket-carbon-fiber-skin-protector.html

Brad, you freaking rock! That is a great alternative. And achieves what I desire. Thank you sir

No prob :good:
If you get it.. come back and bump this thread to let ppl know how it works. Not like our accessories thread is poppin' anyways.
Skinomi isn't the only option, albeit they are a good one.. I remember seeing more, i'll just have to take a bit more time & look.
A couple more:
http://www.bodyguardz.com/armor-carbon-fiber-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket.html
I know people that swear by ghost-armor:
http://www.ghost-armor.com/Samsung/718.html (price is a little higher.. but more options -- like gunmetal)

Which of those brands would you recommend?
As far as color I'm kind of digging the red carbon fiber. Black would look much cleaner though.

I've only ever used the clear skins.. Tried a bodyguardz and a skinomi. They were both about the same.. Mind you, this was for the clear skins.
The thickness/feel/design for the skins your looking for may be different.
With skins, you need to take care of them.. Its sooooo easy to have a corner lift when putting it in your pocket and lint gets stuck behind it.
Check out the warranty/return info.. then try them out. If they have a good return policy, you could simply get another, or get your $ back if you dont like it.
If you go that route, make sure not to discard or lose any pieces because they will want all of them back if you return or trade it in.
Good Luck!

I've got a clear ghost-armor full body on my sr and love it but when I was at the kiosk the kid working it had the black carbon fiber on his and it looked pretty nice. I use a case as well most of the time and the carbon fiber is a little thicker so couldn't use it on mine but I did like it. They also had 1 in the kiosk that had white and black carbon fiber and that looked pretty nice too... Don't know about skinomi or the other brand so can't really say anything about them but ghost armor is a pretty good brand and if there's any problems with the skin they'll replace for free...

$10.
There is a matte or gloss choice.
You won't be able to feel the design, but it looks great. They Have a bunch of skins.

Hey guys thanks for all your links and effort to help, I cannot for the life of me decide on which company to buy from. Some one just pick for me already! Lol

I've also used Phantom Skinz on my T-Mobile G2 in Carbon Fiber, loved it!
http://phantomskinz.com/ Check them out as well

I just put this one on a few days ago, and really like it
http://www.shopandroid.com/bodyguardz-armor-carbon-fiber/4AA9575.htm
It feels thicker than a typical film. When you put it on, you will definitely notice it's there, as the film is alittle thick (which i think is a good thing) and has a rugged texture. Once all the pieces are on, it almost feels like you have a super thin case. Installation wasn't too difficult, and it even came w/ a screen protector (though I haven't put that one on yet since I already have one).

Any suggestions/opinions on skins?

Hi all,
I'm thinking on going with a skin this time around, rather than a case. For the first time I'm really impressed with the design, and I'd like to not cover it up. So what's your view on this? Are there skins that do a good job preventing scratches? good manufacturers? Anyone had experience with skins for the Note 3?
My plan for now is to get something from https://www.decalgirl.com/

I might get skin too. I change battery alot. Are skin easier to take off then case?
Is skin like bumper?

No it's not like a bumper. Here's an example of a skin:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaCc7_1aK3Y
Depending on where you get it, some companies guarantee easy installation and removal. This is the top skin at the moment for the Note 3 at DecalGirl:
https://www.decalgirl.com/skins/194547/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-3-Skin-Flower-Of-Fire
It says: Easy, bubble-free installation and goo-free removal.
Here's a nice one from Skinomi: http://www.skinomi.com/sk13209-samsung-galaxy-note-iii-brushed-steel-skin-protector.html
Might even be better since I don't want skins for the sides and front.
Edit: Skinomi already has a few products for the Note 4

iCarbons
I always use a skin along with the Seidio spring clip holster and tempered glass protector. The ones I always use are from iCarbons, the quality can't be beat imo! Everyone is always asking me where I got it from. I hate cases they take away from the feel of the phone. Check them out!

suggestions for skin wraps

hello.
1. Also has anyone used a "skin" (example. Best skin ever) as screen protector. Thoughts?
2.. how about a skin with adhesive for the back/sides like dbrand/slickwraps? any feedback on that. how long do they last?
Thanks a lot

Skin for the Xiaomi Mi Mix?

Anyone just using a skin on the back of the phone? If so which one?
Dont like using a case. But its slippery without it.

Anyone used grip tape on their phone?

I tried using the back protector (which comes with screen protectors) and was nice. But dont use anything anymore.

I did ask dbrand if they will make some skins, they said it's not a definite no, they are still gathering input, which apparently is just large enough to keep considering.
They will only make Mix skins if they get enough requests, so I guess it'd make sense for all of us to place requests on their website.

If you reside in the US, you can check out "Decalrus" on amazon. Designs are in the hundreds. 5 bucks i think. Comes with front skin for bottom bezel. Their homepage has a creator for custom skins also, but the mix is not listed there or anywhere on their page. They seem to have messed up with their layers when creating the illustration images. Screen has sony icons, and back skin has the selfie camera too. I would roll the dice on one if I could.

Even I had enquired with dbrand and they replied that this isnt happening.
Seems there isnt sufficient demand for them to allocate their time and resources for the Mix.
I highly doubt that we will see a skin from dbrand as the Mix is still very much a "concept device". It doesn't look like there are many (a considerable number) people, who have the device.
Its just a few of us here and maybe a few in China. And then a few more who don't generally post on forums. So not a big number
I wonder where all the 10000 units manufactured per month are going to.

Mi Mix Full coverage Wood pattern skin
Check this out! These are the only skins I could find at the moment. Like any skin, It would only offer protection from scratches though. Its made of dirt resistant PVC, and is advertised to have a real wood-like texture.

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/182256599373?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Bought this, shipping took forever but it's pretty decent quality. Cutouts for camera, flash, and fingerprint sensor are accurate and it's textured for some grip. Application is fairly easy. The seller shipped 3 I'm thinking of buying a dbrand skin for a tablet and cutting it using one of these as a template to see how that goes. Not that there's anything wrong with this one but just because nothing can compete with dbrand when it comes to skins.

Guys I have just ordered from on AliExpress a carbon fiber skin. This is LITERALLY the only thing available on the whole website.
Can't post link because I am new, I can send PM if interested.
I hate carbon fiber feeling and I won't be covering the back of the phone. The only reason I bought this is because it's the only item that has sticker pieces that attach to the SIDE of the phone that will provide, at least technically, some more grip.
As soon as it will arrive I'll give feedback.

elialitem pls send me the link to that skin
I I'm new too and I don't know how to use the pm /:

Hey I found an alternate solution for the slipperyness of this phone.
There is a product you can buy that puts a thin layer of protective glass over the entire smartphone.
This glass gives the phone a better more solid feel and is much more grippy.
They go for quite cheap too on eBay just a couple dollars.

Sure it's basically Liquid Screen Protector but I put it over the entire phone.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0178AURT8/ref=mp_s_a_1_2
Warning this link is to an expensive version from Amazon , the ones listed on eBay are way cheaper.

Does it helps for better grip?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Hello,
I got today the carbon fiber dbrand-style skin from Aliexpress.
Here are the pictures: 1 2 3 4 5
As you can see, the sides parts of the skin were cut short which make this extremely not pretty to look at. However, grip of the phone increased dramatically.
It does not feel like a dbrand skin, it does feel it's just a sticker, however the fake carbon fiber does give a lot of grip. The sides of the sticker as well are very sharp which improve even more grip, but makes me wonder about durability of this sticker. Being so sharp means dust can easily get underneat it.
Probably worth the 3 euros that it costs, not more.
