Here's my S5 with a clear Spigen Ultra Fit Capsule case / cover. When you cover the flash LED with your hand or just lay it on your desk, the cover disperses the light to the bezel area and gives it a nice glow.
Keep in mind: the photo does exaggerate the effect a bit. Actual color and intensity of the glow depends on what the phone is laying against. If you're holding it in your hand, it will be a bit pale / yellowish. Still very cool though.

Very nice. It's a unique way to showcase the phone.

It's clear. Most likely that's the only one that would disperse the light this way. As I mentioned, picture exaggerates the intensity, but it's still pretty neat.
Thanks
Can you upload a video showing the light when you receive a notification please?

someone painted his/her one s with a marker yet?
and whats the outcome does it look good or is it noticeable that it's painted?

Marker leave a slight discolouration as the ink a little shinier than the dull finish of the phone, but it isn't really noticeable unless you see it in bright light. But the problem is, markers wear off really quickly. Even an industrial strength oil and waterproof ink I tried.
I've tried satin black car scratch repair ink, looks better than the ink if applied nicely, but, it also wears off.
Yeah, I tried marker too, looked ok for a day or so, but it wore off again pretty quickly.
I wonder how easy it would be to take off ALL the MAO coating and have an awesome silver phone

Any better ideas?
The idea has been mentioned somewhere, guess the general forum. Apparently this has been done on the Sensation, looks really nice imho
Pull off the frame and sandpaper it, teardown instructions: http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?deskto...=&feature=player_embedded&v=b0jGY2N2h1U&gl=SE please do it now and post results!
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
It has been done on the HD2 battery cover as well, carefully sanded and polished to a near mirror finish. I suspect that was steel though, isn't the One S aluminum?
I was 90% joking; the One S is aluminium which will just rust to a dull grey colour, right? Plus, easy as it seems to get small but noticeable chips in the MAO covering, I think getting the lot off would require some serious effort. Maybe 6 months down the line when my phone really looks like cr*p, but right now it is still doable with the occasional application of black marker!
Yup its aluminium, will look a bit Mad Max I guess especially if not done with a lot of effort
Hey fellas,
Got my hands on the new SGP Ultra Crystal dual series (and the regular steinheil models). With a device like the Nexus 4, which features front and rear glass - you'll really want to invest in front/rear screen shields to keep your device scratch-free. I noticed a few hairlines on my Nexus 4 shortly after purchase so I was very happy when I got the dual series in. Installation was super easy and they fit perfectly. The rear is covered 100% (except for the cutouts), while the front does have exposed areas, mainly on the sides. Being ultra crystal protectors, they offer great clarity and color visuals.
Check out the full review below for more info;
whoops! posted from my brother's account hehe. enjoy the video everyone!
I've been waiting for this! Thanks
A bit off topic but the Galaxy Nexus commercial came on before the vid... hahaha...
Good vid, liked how the protector would be great for cases but I wouldn't like if i wanted to keep the phone naked. I might actually get one to use w/ my Diztronic case. Thanks for sharing!

I'm thinking of ordering these. Could you guys please tell me if this screen protector looks anything like in the pic below after installation? The one below is way too small.

They're like 95% the same. The spigen doesn't cover the two sensors on the left side.

So I decided that I got tired of Samsung's infamous glossy polycarbonate fingerprint-magnet casing and decided to do something about it. I think you'll find the results below are quite stunning if I do say so myself.
Feel free to comment and share your thoughts/questions. : )

Neither, if you click the main link you'll notice this is actually a vinyl wrap that applies onto the device, effectively adding almost not thickness.
A vinyl wrap? I feel like that will eventually peel or catch on the edges with long term use... in and out of the pocket and eventually start peeling

Depends how you use it. The glue on it is really thick and tough so it does not peel easy. Also they recommend to use a heat gun once you're 100% sure you want to set it the way it is so the glue melts and bonds to the plastic (doesn't actually bond but sure feels like it afterwards).
I bought this instead, well see how it is

My dad decided it was a good idea to cut off the S View cover of his S4 with a Stanley knife, because it was "annoying and always in the way, waving around in the air".

I will begin the dissection when I have time. Stay tuned!
Why would you get the S view cover case if you didn't like the flap?
They sell the battery covers cheap online

I personally like the S View cover, so after a bit of thought, I'm going to postpone dissecting it because to me it seems like such a waste.

From the looks of your pictures, that ship has already sailed.
It's not like you can reattach the front in any kind of esthetic way.

You're right. I don't even have an S4 anyway. I'll cut it open tomorrow.
Nothing special. There's a small magnet along the left side of the cover, which I'm guessing activates the S-View mode. The cover itself is very tough and very hard to separate, so I quickly gave up. The whole thing is probably made from the same material as the clear window.
Hi, has anyone seen a flip case for the S6 that allows for the LED to still be seen, they've all got a cutout for the speaker but not for the LED. Worse case scenario I guess I'll have to get a leather one a make a well placed hole with a braddle

Just an fyi, the rendered shots on the amazon page are not updated with our newest revision, where we expanded the LED cutout, though they will be updated shortly. The first version of the Prestige was as the pictures show, but after I got the S6 and spoke to product development and how important the LED notifications are, we then changed the design.
Here's a picture from one of our reviewers that received the case with the expanded cutout. Hope this helps!

The stock in FBA for UK is indeed the updated design with the larger cutout, so you're good to go!
