Just came across these:
Anyone has any experience with them?

I'll let you know when it actually arrives
From the looks of the pics it looks like the battery cover is slightly thicker than the stock cover, so it should protect the camera lens from scratching.

thanks ! have been looking for these for a while !

I'm actually after a spare stock rear battery cover. Anyone seen them being sold online or at a shop?

Thanks! I'll buy the black one, because I don't want to scratch the original one.

I dont think you could scratch the original one even if you tried. Its made of perforated plastic and is rough to touch anyway.

I think these might be cool for parties etc

Depending on the price I'd love to get a yellow and green one!

Well I actually bought the white one, will post pictures/comments when I have it. If people are interested

Here you can buy an original one:

Yes please. Im interested in the White one and would love to see how it looks in real life.

Ordered a black one just because it has the Galaxy S II logo on the back
Should look nice with my translucent black TPU case.

Nice link, shame the only colour they seem not to do is the one I want (red)

I'd like to se e metal ones. Maybe somthing the same colour as the metal on the outer rim of the phone would look good.

I would be very interested in one if these if they played nice with the Zagg invisibleShield FULL BODY maximum coverage or easy install. The stock back has the texture which makes the invisible shields look like junk and peel.
Anyone want to be my guinea pig?? =D

If the price was right, it would be cool to be able to switch the back cover to suit the colour of your wallpaper. $13 seems a little steep though. If it had been $6 I might have gone for a couple.
Interested to see what they look like in reality though.

Searching for YOU sponsored from me personally. don't see a lot of negative here nor did i see someone showing close pictures of the white one either. I fit it in my pocket and don't want to add any bulk to my phone so personally skins suit me! As well as a lot of others.
Someone could get a clear case if the wanted and it will fit right over...
My 2 Cents

I think that looks sweet. Thinking about ordering one

That's extreme! Seems very portal-esc
If I was any good at applying these things I'd be down.

What area are you from??

very nice and clean!
i bet the texture is awesome.

I love the way it looks, how long has it been on? I'd like to know how well they hold up, they're kind of pricey and I've heard complaints about the corners peeling up. Keep us up to date on how it holds up.

I covered my KLR650 motorcycle in carbon print vinyl like this. It withstood six months of gnarly weather, dust and offroad.
Before I finally peeled it off, my bike looked like it was totalled. However, the paint underneath was flawless.
You can get a good result if you are slow and methodical. if not, it won't look so great.

Hmm, I ordered a roll of this stuff from Ebay and got it in. Looks really slick and I covered a few things to practice. But I think I need a good pattern for the Thunderbolt. Anyone have anything? Even another skin and a scanner?
Would greatly appreciate it and be willing to send someone a big enough piece for a couple of these if we can get a pattern going.
I can even send people chunks to make skins if they are willing to cover a couple bucks in shipping.

Do you think it offers much protection other than from surface scratches? Say from falls to the floor or concrete? Doesn't from the pictures and manufacturer's description.

it's just a sticker so I highly doubt it does anything other than prevent some scratches.
Does look cool. How charred up does it look then its removed? That's always my worry with them

It removed no issues. I took it off so I can recut a new skin with better cleaner edges and there is no resides at all.
I bought a roll of black off Ebay, so I cut my own skin. I wish I had a good pattern.

Looks pretty cool in a something different kind of way, also storm-troopery. I personally wouldn't cover the kickstand, though.

thumbs up, i'm really liking this

Gelaskins?

Does anyone have one of these for the Tab 10.1? If so, how is the coverage on it and are you happy w/ it? I've seen some posts about phones, but Want to know if the sides of the tab are protected enough and if the screen portion is any good on a tablet?

check pictures of it on an ipad or any other tablet, i believe the result is the same.

I looked at pics of the Pad and the corners are cut out. I don't like that at all. The pics on their site are photoshopped and you can't tell anything from that.

I just got mine today from amazon. Check the last page in the mega case thread. I like it. Anything will add some amount of weight/thickness. This one fits really well. I'm keeping it.

I just got mine today and I'm extremely satisfied with it so far.
The fit is absolutely perfect from edge to edge, on all the corners, and around the camera and flash. I'm actually astounded that they managed to get the measurements so perfect; it covers the entire back without overlapping the little gap between the back panel and the trim around the edge of the device.
It also adds a little bit more of a grippy feel to the back, even moreso than the metallic grey back (which is what I have), so it feels like it will be a little easier to hang onto the Tab and not drop it.
However, you're not going to find any protection for the edges with the Gelaskin, and the front piece will not protect your screen either; it simply covers the bezel around the screen. I didn't apply the front piece because I felt like it would be more distracting than the black bezel and it also won't line up with the Gelaskins wallpaper if you rotate the Tab. But if you wanted to apply the front piece, it does have cut-outs for the front-facing camera and the ambient light sensor.
If you're looking for more complete coverage you should definitely consider something else. Personally, I just wanted something that would look nice and protect the back side from scratches when I put the Tab down on a surface, and for that purpose the Gelaskin is perfect. It also adds no bulk and I bet it would easily fit inside of a case if you wanted to do something like Gelaskin on the back + transparent TPU case and maybe a screen protector for more complete protection. At that point the Gelaskin would just be there for looks, though.
Here's a couple photos of mine:
The photo of the camera/flash makes it look like the skin is not perfectly aligned around the flash, but this is just because of the angle at which I took the photo. It's actually aligned just as perfectly as it is around the camera.
If anyone has any questions I'd be happy to answer them.

If people are buying from the gelaskins.com website, then they should put in 500PXSKINS and save 15%. I am debating if I should get one.

I just saw these on the net and came here to see if anybody had gotten one. I really like the idea of these. Perhaps even a custom one as none of the models available is tacky and loud enough for my tastes. Oh, the possibilities.

Very much grateful for the pics and reviews. I think ill bite. I like to here things like the fit is so good I don't know how they did it. Thanks again.

Your pictures are not loading. Also if you have a good experience with a case, drop a note on http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...usion-shock-absorption-bumper-t2849205/page10 as its pretty much filled with negativity in terms of people receiving cases with loose sides.

Weird, pics load on three different computers for me. Anyway I've attached the pics.

Trying different image hosting site.

Wow looks very nice.

Playing around....Took a picture of bamboo cutting board at Target. Photoshop'ed it with the OnePlus logo and printed a 4x6 from it. I didn't really cut the camera hole out very well but I have another photo to try again.
Enjoy.

If anyone wants the image to print for themselves there it is.

I really love the bamboo look, printed it our for mysel too. As an AoT fan, here's the one that I made. Actual image was taken from DeviantArt, I merely moved the scout logo and added the OnePlus logo.
And here's some AoT love:

Very Nice!
Just a suggestion regarding the camera hole "notch" on the supplied template. I don't cut out the "notch", I just flip the template over after trace over it again to fill it it. After I cut it out, I put it on the case and mark the camera hole with a pen then use a small hole punch. Looks much better IMO.

I saw you do that in your picture and it is beautiful indeed. I wanted to do the same but I lacked a tiny hole pucher to do it. I could have done it using a pen knife but I don't trust my cutting skills.

My version of the nerv phone

That thickness tho...

Very cool stuff. I will have to order one of these cases. I have some carbon fibre vinyl around here I could put to good use. Chrome would look good as well.

bye bye fingerprints...........
I got tired of fingerprints with the glossy back. I covered the back exterior with carbon fiber vinyl.

Hybrid Flip PU Leather Case is fantastic for no more than £3/$4

Bought this case off eBay for £2.78 and have never been happier with a product this cheap. The thing isn't too cheaply made, it's just generic, the appearance however is anything but generic.
You can get these cases in a bunch of styles, I liked this one since it reminded me a bit of Marques Brownlee's color scheme.
The build quality is just standard, but it really can not be perceived as bad. It still has the annoying trait of being less than pleasing to hold in the hand when you bend the front cover back like most leather-esque cases are, except for the higher quality ones (Which don't exist for the OPO to my knowledge). There aren't that many cases for the OPO out there still left in production, so the only ones you can find are that bulky metal one people keep raving about, or others with branding all over the place. This thing is just a mass-produced, average quality, but very aesthetically pleasing case, and I couldn't recommend it more.
Here's some pics of mine as is:

Don't think I've seen anybody really review this case, but I'm pleasantly surprised to see a nice looking case for the OPO that's still available and isn't extortionate.

Looks nice, I am not usually a fan of flip cases. I assume this is the one

Looks like it. I just wanted something stylish so I got it, and for the price of the currently existing decent cases for the OPO I could get 10 of these.

Does it have the magnetic on and off when you open the flip cover?

Nope, I hate those things, since it would have to wrap around the side. There's always this and this though.

I'm honestly not a fan of those either, that's always the first part to break. Lol. I'm wanting to know if the phones screens turns on automatically when you open the flip cover. Thanks for the quick response.

I think that is just a stock feature if the case supports it. I don't know of a setting that you can turn off and on for it to work. Oh well that would have been a big selling point on this case for me but thanks for letting me know! Still looks really nice!
