Overall. Quality of this product is superb and installation was so easy.
Did it all in about 15 mins + finishing it off with a hair dryer on low heat and 6" away from phone while off to cure the phantom skinz.

They are kinda small. Gotta stretch it a bit when you put it on, and then use hair dryer to make it even better. There is a video instruction on the website. Just followed every step and turned out great.
This is pure sex in my eyes!!!!

The camera I took the pic with is kind of crappy as it isn't as detailed. Pictures don't do the justice. Looks way better in person.
It is also texturized. Not just an image print.
That looks very sweet! May have to look into getting something like this for my cappy! Nice work on the install
if you are in the carbon fiber mood, there is a site that specializes in the 3M film (now in 7 colors!)
http://www.carbonfiberfilm.com/blog/3m-carbon-fiber-di-noc-now-available-in-7-different-colors/
I had this same skin for a while.
It actually adds some grip to the otherwise slippery Captivate.
Also gives a small amount of protection.
Initially it is a lint magnet until the adhesive at the edges wears out. But then it looks really good.
For me it only had two downsides:
1. Eventually, it started to lift at a couple of spots.
2. Can't be transferred to another device (like a case can) if you need to replace your phone for some reason.

Like my lock screen? Lol...I have had it four days, and it feels great in hand and slides easily in my pocket (from Jeans to Gym shorts)!
I haven't dropped it yet but all four corners are completely double covered and I expect there would be ZERO damage if I do drop it...
They come in Black, White, Green, Pink, Purple or Red...
I think it is WELL worth the $20-$25 for it, and it looks BAD ASS!
Wow that does look pretty nice. Thanks for sharing, think I might order me one. Does that spine looking accessory snap on and off?

Any thoughts on the raised/textured back? I'm looking at this compared to the flat one such as: http://www.amazon.com/Titanium-Black-Fishbone-Protector-SAMSUNG/dp/B006IZBKCS/ref=pd_bxgy_cps_img_c
Wondering if the textured back would feel good in my hand...

For me, the back isn't really textured or rough, just raised above the rubber inlet. It feels really good in hand, but I think the pricing on the smooth backed one is alot nicer!
Let me know if you have anymore questions...
On the back of the phone, towards the bottom of the back there are these marks/scratches that are popping up.
As you move your finger over them, you can feel the texture changes.
Why would these appear if I baby my phone, and have had a case on it from day 1.
It isn't making sense.
I tried to see if I could remove it with a cleaner, but no avail.
What are your thoughts?

I have seen these. Even with a case, you get dust(dirt particles) under the case. As you use the phone normally it does move a small amount in the case and that will scratch the back a little. At least this is what I think is happening as its happened with every phone Ive owned thats been cased.
Yes mine has it..... No case... But my last phone (xperia arc) went through more abuse and has no scratches. I don't have a clue what it is about that general area.

Got these as well. Exact same location. I guess the plastic backing finish is real easy to scratch up. Sucks but at least it is minimal.
I got them too, but at least I can just buy a new back or something.
I have tons of scratches on the back of mine. I set it in the cup holder when I listen to Pandora in the car. Recently these red marks have shown up... they won't rub off and I'm thinking its the color underneath the paint.

i was amazed to find this made it an instant buy so i just wanted to share this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sony-Xperia...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item25837c4bfa
it's a thin film you put on the back of the phone to give it a brushed metal look unfortunatly it is not what i thought when i saw it i thought it was a very thin piece of metal you attach at the back
but it seems to be vinyl i hope that won't make it feel cheap
but the looks?
well judge for yourself (in my opinion what the xperia z1 was meant to look like from the beginning)

I had that exact "sticker" for the xperia z. That saler also has it in carbon. I really liked it and didn't feel cheap. It had a texture to it and those were perfectly cut out. One small problem it did had was that if you put your phone in water, the sticker leaves a residu and it kinda moved a bit. Now i have the white z1, and i really like it naked as it is. Maybe i will buy these later in black!

If only it was a case...
I think it looks really good. How does it feel? And how about scratch resistance? Still, I do love the Z1 design.

What do you guys think about this case?
Actually I just ordered on from Amazon last night. I like the S curve on the back and that type of soft flexible case. Would think it would hold up better if you dropped phone, but don't know this for sure.

It surely would! I have had this case for many other devices and because it wraps around the screen it protects the actual screen from coming into contact which reduces the chance of shattering the screen. Great case for a low price!
I bought the clear (transparant) one, it's easily get dirty, and it seems i can't make it clean,
It's good for its price, but maybe it's better to pick the colored ones

I guess anything like white or transparent will get dirty quick
mine looks different to the one in the op/video...bought off eBay (Australian seller, as I live in Australia) - as you can see the camera cutout is different.

I really wanted mine to be like that as well! I have no clue why mine is two different cut outs!
Got it today. Feels good, hugs the phone nicely and doesn't feel too bulky. Only thing is power button Is a little deep. Other than that it's good.

I had gotten the carbon fiber version of that, but returned it because it did not play well with the stock charging cable...Also the fingerprint cutout is too small to properly read my middle finger [emoji2]

I was thinking about getting this one but opted for a different one with a kick stand. It does look as nice as I'd hoped though.

the hole is too small though (but I make it work anyway )

Yes it does. Not something I use but whatever. Protection is good. Case fits very well.

its not leather, its plastic with leather feel lol
not bad in my opinion. we will see what happens with time. favorite case so far.
I have this one too. Use it as a daily driver for 10 days or so on my Sprint V20. I like the idea of emergency credit card and copy of my driving license are always being handy and hidden inside of this case. I see folks complaining about inconvenient cutout for fingerprint scanner or something. IMO, it couldn't be any more comfortable, I don't recall having a single reject from it, works flawlessly and superfast! The only con that Tridea's case is slightly bulky and being in combo with enormous phone is quite a task to manage single-handed operations! I might search for something skinnier (and may be with card compartment on a back) later on, as phone has basic drop-protection itself!
