SmartSkins Review - Galaxy S 4 Accessories

Hey guys thought I would share this review with you. I have purchased a few skins from them and they all fit pretty perfect. I did need to apply a little heat with a hair dryer for the S4 but the results are great

A review would be helpful here, can you post pics of the skin you got? I'm using skinomi carbon fiber since I hate cases and would be interested in this if it's worth the price. So some pics would be nice?

Ugly how it fits on they should have just made a battery back cover
undecided about this. I like it but at the same time I don't..looks like it makes the S4 into an iphone
The bumper look nice.thinking of getting 1

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't metal cases interfere with cell signal?

Sorry about the blurry pics, hurried taking them on my one s. The sides also come with their own carbon fiber skin so you can chose not to put them on if you like aluminum side panel with ur carbon fiber skin, it's upto you i kinda didn't like the aluminum sides so i put the skin on

The screen protector has a bit of grip but it is very nice.
I have it on my sisters phone and it's definitely less grippy than the Zagg screen protectors.
It's also very clear almost as much as my Spigen Ultra Crystal.
Even with the promo it is a lot cheaper on Amazon http://goo.gl/8HsWr

I messed up the screen protector while installing. So I'm using a glass SP now from benks. But it just feels like any other protector. I'd agree with the above post feels less grippy then Zagg but not sure about fingerprints

Just got this and installed the back piece. It seems to have kind of a sharpe feel around the edges, is this normal ? I have not put the screen protector on yet and may not. It does not seem like it adds much protection to the phone but looks nice on the phone.

Thanks that did seem to help some. I did not use the side pieces. That may also casue the edges to be a bit sharper as well.

Yeah i guess that could be the case. I just ordered two more skins during this sale when i do happen to replace mine next time I'm going to try it without putting on the skin on the aluminum edges. Btw i just got the silver skin and it's shiny and actually looks good i was scared to order but couldn't resist the sale. I might try the silver one next

Oh that's cool. I think we have the same battery cover. I have lime green on currently from the 6 pack on Amazon. My fre back is clear too so similar concept.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
Looks nice. I assume the clear plastic doesn't have the matte finish of the colored UAGs, which will make the case a little bit slipperier.
The interior back doesn't have a layer of shock-absorbing rubber. I wonder if the case will be thinner as a result.

Color is true to the Amazon color. IPod touch camera sucks. Snaps on flush and perfect with no issues and same clearance as official battery cover.

Finally got it in! Awesome case! I got a blue battery cover too. Will take pics of that also. Only downside is that this case is so much harder to get on/off. The black long sides do not flex as much as my black uag case but that's not a biggie for me cause it looks awesome and is protected like all other uag cases!

Is the clear plastic smooth or textured? I wish it didn't have the honeycomb design.

Smooth from the outside. Honeycomb is inside for shock absorption. I like the Honeycomb!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
the honeycomb gives a reptile/crocodile skin type of look that probably won't go well with a brushed aluminum or carbon fiber battery cover. plus it makes the case look hazy/frosted in certain angles. thanks for posting pics of it. :good:

Lifeproof Trouble Anyone??

Hey guys, I currently have an Otterbox Defender and Otterbox Commuter case and was thinking about getting a Lifeproof case. I see so many terrible reviews on both the fre and nuud case about audio problems where it is hard for people to hear you or you can't hear them...I am just wondering if I should pull the trigger and buy on of these and if so which version??
Or should I wait for the new Otterbox Preserver case??
Anybody have any suggestions??

Did you read the "lifeproof" thread a little bit down the page?
Yes all 13 pages or whatever of it...hard to say...some people say the audio problem ruins the case others say they love it
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
when i put on speaker there is already an echo. like it for water proof but other then that. case sucked
Hmm...well maybe I should wait...everyone has this same problem. I suppose I could wait for the otter box...see if it is any better

Better to hold out for now. Case is pure junk.
I have gone through 4 nuud replacements plus once they sent me a fre. Not only is inbound and outbound audio degraded, but the housing of the case interferes with the proximity sensor.
Working on getting my money back right now.
Alright I'm gonna hold off on it
