Hi guys,
I would just like to see the popularity of these skins for XDA members.
Please vote.
i don't own one, but the black looks the best to me by far
I own a titanium, looks really good!

Look at the attached pics. Its more grey-ish than black-ish. I will take a pic in daylight
Why a new thread when you see so much people raving about it already?
The black titanium is closer to a gunmetal color with the slightest bit of bronze when viewed under light.
You won't regret getting one of these, that's for sure!
Finally got the black titanium one and I do like it so far.
What I don't like though, are the sharp edges. I've sanded them down a bit but they're still not perfect to the touch.
I can feel the edges cut into the hand a bit while holding the phone.
It's not a dealbraker but would be better if the edges were bevelled somewhat.

I too had the same issue when I first applied the skin. But I used my thumb nail to rub and de-burr the edge of the skin to take the sharp edge off. I now cannot feel the skin on the phone at all when I hold it.

I have a skin from Skinit on my laptop and I like it so I ordered a skin for the Infuse. This skin is not much use for protection but it does make my phone unique.
I am not sure if I like the front face but the skin has the buttons printed and does make it easier to locate the 4 buttons.
Here are some pix. In case someone wants to order a skin, here is the link and a 20% discount code.

I don't see a front camera or sensor holes on the skin....is there?

Yes, they are there. I peel off the oblong slot first and realized it would be easier to peel the openings after I place the skin on the phone. Took the picture prior to peeling off those opening. The skin fit quite well and I do not see any air bubbles. It should look better after a few days. This is easier to apply as it is smaller than my laptop skin.

How well does it work with the textured back of the Infuse?

The skin is quite thick and lay down the back smooth. The word Samsung was also covered up completely with no outward indication it was there.
Although mine was a custom one, there are some texture skins that give the feel of metal or carbon fiber. That might be appealing to some.
After a couple of days with the skin applied to the Infuse, some dimples started to appear on the skin. This is caused by the textured surface of the back cover. Nothing major but they are there.
The word Samsung is still covered up completely.

Yeah... that was my concern.
My buddy sanded his back cover down. Bought a spare from samsung and used the skinit on it. No bubbles or anything in it. Works awesome.

thanks for the pics. Im gonna try to white out the infuse with an all white skin but back cover stock. I am a little hesitant about how the front skin will look but seeing this, I think I will try it.
I searched and didn't see a review for this case. I picked it up yesterday at T-Mobile I had a Ringke Slim prior to this case, I liked the Ringke Slim but I am so paranoid about dropping my phone and not having enough protection, primarily the top and bottom and the corners of the phone.
The Body Glove offers full protection for the Nexus 4. The case is a hybrid hard/soft case. The inside of the case is a "durable gel material" which extends out to the outer edges of the case so that if the phone drops face down it won't land on the glass. There is also gel material on the outside of the case covering the power and volume buttons as well as the back of the case for some slightly added grip and so when the case is placed down the hard plastic won't be touching whatever its laying on.
The case feels rather good in the hand as it does not add any significant weight or thickness to the phone which is awesome. Body Glove did a great job on keeping the ergonomics of the phone while the case is on. My only real complaint is Body Glove could have added more grip to the case. The little groves they added to the back of the case helps some but I think it would help with grip more if the groves were vertical and not horizontal.
Will add more pics of the case on the phone as well as comparison pics of the Ringke Slim.

My review is that it looks hideous.
Great review!!! It really don't look bad in person but I dont think any case really looks great anyway, to each their own I guess.
I also own this case and I have to say it's amazing, I feel like my phone is very protected and looks great. I was looking on amazon for weeks for a good case but I felt everything else was really cheep, the nova is a great looking high quality case and I wouldn't get anything else!
it looks stromtrooper-ish
they have an all black version if this particular one doesn't suit your taste. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-BODY-GL...969187?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item23284cada3
Sad tht in India, we have less choice to get accessories , as I have got the phone through relative living in India.
I picked up the same case and I love it. Buttons feel good. Full all around protection. Color choice was pink or white and that's the only draw back imo

This case looks so nice , im debating on getting the black one or the white. Op could you post more pics of the case on your phone please?
Would like to see pictures of the black case if someone has gotten it yet.
I just ordered the black one from daydeal. Com 22.99 free shipping. I'll post pics once I get it.

I just picked this up today. So far it fits great and the buttons feel good I just wish the edges weren't as boxy.
Anyways I took some pictures for you. The one with the screen turned on shows what looks like white splotches around the edge, but that's a reflection of something because the case shows some chrome on top and bottom. I couldn't get good lighting and the tablets camera sucks with no flash.

This case is just like the seidio active just with better fit due to more structure from the shell. The seidio is nice but doesn't have enough points of grip making the silicone underneath move a lot and letting in dust and particles.

Where did you get the white from. On ebay and Amazon the only ones available are the black ones.

Can anyone compare it to the Ballistic case?
Does it give more protection?is the quality better?thanks
Thanks to all providing pictures.
How do the buttons feel ?
The inner silicone gel case looks thinner than similar dual layer cases (and i presume it cannot be separated from the outer shell as well) . Does it feel like it will give enough protection for a 4/5 ft concrete fall ?
Ooooh! This case is nice! I wish I would've bought this before I bought my Ringke Fusion.

I think the white one can only be bought directly at a tmobile store.
The black one is really nice, had a plain black body glove for my HTC one s the same kind and it had great protection I really recommend the body glove ones

I currently have a black nexus but have to get it exchanged due to a fault. I am considering getting the white one instead.
I wondered if the white one had the same rubber texture feel to it and how durable it is to marks etc. Does it mark easily or pick up scuffs at all?
Thanks

The white version has a different back to the black. It's harder and smoother, so feels a bit slippery. In any case I'd put a case on it soon as if I where you. I've done that along with a screen protector so it shouldn't receive any marks on it.

The white has a smoother finish, very similar to the keys on a white Apple keyboard. Color wise it's not a true white, looks more like eggshell white to me.
You can see one here: http://www.case-mate.com/samsung-galaxy-s5-cases/case-mate-samsung-galaxy-s5-glam-cases.asp
The one on their website looks silver, but the case is actually a champagne color (silver-gold). It fits well, feels like it's not going to fall off. The back is smooth over the "glitter". Button response is very good. It looks great. I expect it to come apart if I drop it; the case is in two parts, a flat back and a rim around the edge of the phone. This is not a case for protection against more than scratching the sides and back. But if pretty is what you're after, this definitely gives you that.

So I just received dbrand's bamboo skin for the s6
Here is a quick photo after installation. Skin feels great! You can feel the grain like you would bamboo.
I will probably have to go back and heat up the sides to help them stick to the slight curve of the edge on the back. You can feel on left/right edge just slightly. Im assuming this will go away with wear
Will post more photos later when i have another camera to do close ups and when i install the camera skin
I have a matte black, silver titanium and bamboo camera skins
Looks nice

What case is that you have on your phone. I'm going to get a dbrand skin that I had on my g3 and have them make it for the s6 but I want a bumper case.

Ya, im not sure if I like the matte black camera skin.. especially when using different cases. Looks like it sticks out too much and takes away from the look.
