Hi guys. As you guys can see from image below, I cut myself a carbon fiber skin for my Z1 compact. I use normal 3M carbon fiber. Believe it or not, this is the result from my first try of making custom skin without cutting it directly on the phone. I just use a leftover piece from back screen protector film and cut according to measurement of the film and it turn out to be perfect fit because the film does not fully cover the back of Z1 compact so the carbon fiber cut will be a bit larger than screen protector film(guess the rest). Notice on the camera that the skin circle cut are smaller than the lens because I had no tool to punch custom sized circle(for the camera and flash) onto the carbon fiber so I just test fit the carbon(already cut using x-acto knife) and apply pressure on the camera just to give form of the camera on to the carbon fiber and I use paper puncher right in the middle and for the flash I just measure accordingly and make square shape using x-acto knife.

So what do you guys think of this and also what tools or technique do you guys recommend to improve this ?
I did this project just because I think Dbrand and slickwraps are just overpriced and to make my phone looks awesome while keeping it protected from scratch without those cases which make phone feels less premium.
Sorry for my bad grammar.

not sure about that model but the only i had for my old himalaya had plastic all over
I have this case for my trinity and it doesn't protect the screen
The one you might be looking for is also found at e-bay. It is a silicon case that has a hard cover screen to protect the phone screen.
See here : http://cgi.ebay.nl/Capdase-Silicone...tcZphotoQQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I myself bought the aluminum case. Good thing is that I can use the phone while the screen stays protected. Big downside however is that the aluminum case completely blocks the GPS signal. Bummer.
I still look for a crystal clear case that has a flip to open screen protection like the silicon one.
Personally I find the silicon version look like you just put your phone in a condomn.
The shop where I bought the phone from said that leather cases also block about 60% of the GPS signals.
those crystal screens are not hard at all..
I've gone through 2 of it.. most of the time it crack from where the bottom is due to weekly removal of the top to clear all the dust.
I had 1 tiny fibre under my screen protector and was going to put on a new one.
So I had some fun!

I don't know if you can see it. But I have full strands of hair in there.
EDIT: Oh my, is there some way for me to scale it down for th forum?
you are too free my fren.... =.="
Doesn't look good...
Try an environment with little dust, eg the bathroom after a shower (humidity helps),
Use sellotape to remove fibres, specks of dust from screen or protector,
Make sure the protector is the right way round (yes, there is a top and bottom for the DHD which are subtly different, as I found to my cost - I think your protector is on upside down, looking at the bottom left corner).
I have never has success reapplying protectors (apart from "during" the first application), whatever the manufacturers say. Easier to buy a new one. A lot come in packs of 2 these days
Yeah I know all this.
When I got my mobile the girl at the shop offered to put on my screen protector and I thought why not! Bad choice... She put it on upsidedown...
So I put on my 2nd one. Then the 1 tiny fiber annoyed me so I took it off and put on ANOTHER one.
But this one was super cheap and didn't fit so I got annoyed and scrunched up the protector, chucked it in the bin but then had an idea to pull some hairs out and be stupid and take a picture.
Time to go buy a quality screen protector!
Bought this screen protector off eBay, the only cheap matte one I could find. Don't fancy paying £10+ to mess it up.
The top quality Japan PET material is imported from Japan : high transparent material and frosted material. Transparency:99%, Anti-Scratch, Anti-Dust.

Some photos of it fitted, as you can see the edges don't stick down very well.

The case if anyone is interested,
You can't really tell from the images but it does make the text soft and it has a hazy effect like you'd find on a old touchscreen computer. I do like the matte finish as it also doesn't show greasy marks as much.
Overall the cost of £2.39 for 6 I can't complain and it will hold me over until I find a better replacement. I don't want to post the eBay link up but you should be able to easily find it.
This has been my experience with 95% of the matte screen protectors I've tried. The *only* one I've been happy with was an SGP one on my Droid X.
Which case is that you're using?
You're going to have problems with your phones proximity sensor because from the pictures above, the screen protector is covering it.. I would suggest you cut a hole on the top left corner of the protector before application..
With this current setup, your phone screen will not come on whenever you receive a call...
Woah, that looks really nice! I just wish matte protectors didn't ruin the clarity.
I wanted to share with you this pretty sharp white back wrap for the Note 7 that is entertainingly a glow in the dark wrap as well. Check out the full album and some pictures below.

The wrapping process is the same for all phone vinyl wraps and also for screen protectors that use wet installs. Here are my tips:
1) spray only enough so you can precisely move and place the wrap on the phone, it is not to make it stick any better and is actually bad for tough areas that require a lot of adhesiveness aka corners and edges.
2) after you have the flat surface down and squeegee'd, don't immediately jump into sticking the edges down, the bottom of your wrap/protector is still most likely wet and you will have an impossible time adhering it. adhering corners is tough! Leave your phone to dry for 10-15 minutes so the bottom of the vinyl is completely dry so it has its effective adhesiveness strength back, OR you can blow dry to make it dry faster and also soften the vinyl/protector for easier mending.
3) use the squeegee, don't use your fingertips when you first start because your fingers have dirt, dust, oil and if any of it gets under the wrap, again it loses its adhesive strength
4) on tough vinyls, you might have to wait an hour after the first pass of installation and repeat step 3 again
This is beautiful.. What brand.. where do you buy this ?

Hi everyone
So i just bought brand new purple poco f2 pro 2 days ago and today i realized there is bunch of dust and particles under the edge of back glass specially in the left side amd bottom of the back glass then i realized i can push the edge of wrapping plastic through that gap so easy for maybe 1mm or so then it stops by inner glues of back glass and it is possible to move those particles under glass but i can't pull them out. This is happens just in left and bottom side of the back glass .... Is that a common problem should i do something ? The purple back glass show those particles on the edges in the some lighting condition i don't know about other colors . But my main concern is it possible for this dusts and particles penetrate more inside the phone and reach to camera lenses ?
this picture should explain what i mean this wrapping plastic did not pushed inside by any hard force the gap is just larger than the plastic wrap ......

Hello,
I have purple too and i dont have this issue, The rear window is perfectly adjusted and leaves no space
Sorry but i think its a good solution to call the After sales service ?
It certainly is a quality control issue. However, the device doesn't have IP certification so this is kind of expected.
