Good but can be irritating I guess. I keep changing my cases at times so cant be bothered changing screws always

POst back when you have tried it! I should be getting one to review as well

Will do

I eagerly wait for your review! I have been looking at cases for my SG2, and this one may be the perfect one. This case would make it much easier for designing a tripod adapter.

It looks as though the buttons holes are too deep to use them, maybe it is just how it looks to me. I hope so. I want to get one of these as soon as I know about the button holes.

Those look awesome. However I wonder if they have a liner or something on the inside to prevent damaging the phone itself.

According to the website OP linked they do.

This case looks just perfect. I've ordered the silver one and will review it once I get it.

did order 1 aswel mat black making a review when i have it

This looks like it would not provide much protection at all

Looks good, but it will be a hassle to remove it to fit the cradle every night....

Raises up the camera and screen so as to have less chance of scratches on either, less chance of scratching the sides, which seem to me the most tender in terms of scratches, and offers an easier item to hold. I only want to know if the holes are too deep to use the volume and power button. If that is the case, than I wont buy one. But they do look really :awsm.

One of these in black + a Zagg Invisible shield should be the way to go Pitty BestSkinsEver don't have quicker shipping options to AUS

Really looking forward to hearing your thoughts.please keep us updated.

Damn these look sexy. Especially the gun metal and matte black. A review would be appreciated!

Wish they didn't say "Taurus" on the back and side though.

Airbrushing isn't that hard, just sand the thing down, prime it, sand it, paint it, then clear coat. Take you about a days wait, with about 2hours work.

if you're lucky, the letters will be in plastic, this way you can use a sugar cube to scratch it off. the reason for the sugar cube is because its not hard enough to scratch the paint/metal off yet strong enough to remove plastic lettering

I was wondering if anything goes on the actual screen? If so does it affect your viewing of movies or games?

no nothing goes on the actual screen, except the frame you see on side (which does not affect your viewing of movies or games).
how hard was it to actually get everything lined up correctly? was the process a pain in the ass?
thanks
You're welcome.
the process is very simple. It took me about 5-10 mins.
This looks nice, I was always thinking about getting one of these skins but I don't know... $20 seems kind of hefty to me.
Hows it holding up to daily use? I would love not to have a case but I miss the unique looks, and this seems like the perfect alternative.

It's not an alternative to a case. Why you think a skin would be is beyond me. It may protect against light scratches or scuffs, but won't protect the tab from damage if it's dropped or banged. You need a case or cover.

I said that "I would love not to have a case" which means I dont like them. But I buy them for everything, because I dont like my items looking the exact same as they came, or what everyone elses looks like. So a skin suits me. I dont throw my valuables, it seems dumb to me why'd you throw a piece of technology our society revolves around. And I dont see how you know what I need.

I have stop using cases for quite sometime. The main reason is that here in Cambodia it is so affordable and convenient to get gadget flim wrap.
In the past I only use either clear and frosted flims. I opt for colored flim for my SIII.
Here is how it look like.

Not really sure. I the films are not pre-cut. They do it the old fashion way whereby the stick and cut thereafter

No I dont, what I can do is when I visit the shop the next time I will look for the film maker/ brand.

it's just a film, you'll still get a dented casing if you dropping it.

"Don't mind the crappy screen protector. Waiting for the ones from xtremeguard"
from the original post.
the point of cases are to protect your phone.
if you want it to just look good, then i think your idea is great.
but when the phone drop face down then i dont think there would be any protection

Is that a wrap on the side as well? if so then how it feel and does it look like it will peel easily? I could use one on my pebble blue phone where the bezel is purple!
I'm going to give the official flip case a try once I finally get my Verizon version of the SGS3 here in the US. I'm bummed out that it doesn't have a magnetic clasp or anything to keep it closed, but at the same time it's a full on case so the phone should obviously handle drops much better. That all being said, the phone is gorgeous and I'm not gonna want keep it hidden! I have the full protection from Verizon so whatever happens to my phone I'll just get another one anyways.
I'm still on the fence. At this point though I'm leaning more towards no case.
i don't think screen protector is of any use because it is gorilla glass
Sent from my GT-I9300
I actually think my white S3 looks better with a Matt black case, because I like the white border around the camera, flash and speaker which contrasts against the black case, and then the black border around edge of phone, I mean not everyone will like that but I dog
I doesn't peel off easily and yes the side is wrapped. So far all the film that the shop doesn't love residue when it is removed.
It is a rough textured. Sort of like mildly used sand paper.

That reminds me I keep forgetting to look for a fully enclosed case because on mine the top and bottom aren't covered so will be useless in a drop.
They cover the screen i have it on my 4s and i drop a few times and never happened

I have it to and like it quite a bit, my only complaint is the power button loses its clickiness. Ended up using an Xacto to cut it out...The grey looks good with pebble blue as well

Don't know what to tell you man. Might want to give them a call. My order went through fine.
Just bought the black one from amazon for $14.99. So juiced to try it out
Got my case today and I really like it. Fits nice and tight and the texture is really nice - soft and smooth but not too slippery. You don't feel the click with the power button but it's not hard to press.
After going through quite a few cases, just got myself the INCIPIO NGP case in black as well. I finally found a case that I love!
I was looking for something that was thin, covered the whole back, and wrapped around to cover the front glass from touching surfaces. Also wanted something that felt nice. This was exactly that. It makes the phone feel very solid and like a well built phone. It is a light and thin case and does not add any bulk that you do not want.
Highly recommend this case!!

Sena Ultraslim Genuine Leather Pouch - HTC One

My Sena Ultraslim pouch arrived today. Im really delighted with it, love the genuine leather smell, feels like very good quality, the lining is very soft overall well stitched and put together - a very premium feel.
It was shipped on thursday from Irvine, CA and arrived in Glasgow, UK today via Fedex.
The fit is pretty much exact, a bit tight to take out but this will no doubt loosen up a bit.
Happy for £20!
Pics for you all, enjoy.
(oh and my Finding Nemo Bluray Steelbook Exclusive arrived today aswell, what a beauty!)

I have tried these before with different phones and cases. How easy does it come out of the case. I really hate trying to get a phone out and miss a call. Some of them are really tight!

It's actually very easy - hold the pouch from the sides and push the phone out with your thumb from the bottom.
I was doing it wrong at first by trying to slide it out from the top...

Does it stain the back white poly stuff??

D.I.Y Grippy Rubber Shell Cover

I've been a huge fan of this product for years ---> http://www.plastidip.com/
It's basically a spray on rubberized coating that is also 100% REMOVABLE!
I have been using it on trim pieces and rims on my car for years.
Out of sheer boredom, I decided I would try the product on my Moto G battery cover.
Turned out great!!
On my last coat, I got near the bottom of the can (was using left overs), so a couple of bubbles appeared.
But this was just a proof of concept, spur of the moment situation.
Next time I am going to use a fresh can, and maybe a different colour.
Anyway, here are my results!
Tell me what you think!

Here are some pics of me removing the coating. Peels off easily. Leaves no marks.
Looks nice! But maybe a bit too ruggy, not for the bubbles, on the rest too. But I guess that happens with any spray painting Unluckily. Anyway, looks nice to me :thumbup:

Thanks. The thing is that it's not paint. It's fully removable and leaves no trace. This was just a rush job with some almost empty left over cans. Just wanted to see how well it would sick. Going for a different color and better quality next time

One phone ago I sprayed my Nexus S's battery cover with clear Plasti-Dip and it did not hold well at the edges, and would start peeling away rather quickly.
Please keep us posted, and if it does work, maybe some tips on application or something?
