[pics] Skinomi carbon fiber

Well I received my package in the mail today and what do ya know, its the carbon fiber skin I ordered! I bought a skin because I highly dislike cases, it always adds bulk and it really peeves me. Took me about half an hour to install it and I think I did a good job. Doesn't quite cover it 100% but i guess its enough.
Pros: Looks amazing
I like the texture
pretty good coverage
Cons: wasn't expensive, but it wasn't cheap either ($20)
Afraid it might peel (will update this in a few weeks)
still kinda slippery, possibility of it falling =\
I apologize for the blurry pics, I will post better ones once my camera is charged.
P.S. I also have a SGP Ultra-Oleophobic screen protector on, best screen protector I have used.
If you want to buy your own: Skinomi Carbon Fiber
SGP Ultra-Oleophobic

Looks quite good. I just wish they would make one that has front and back coverage. Having a cf back but stock front looks like skinomi did a half assed job.

Where would you even put it on the front? The whole thing is glass up front with hardly any bezel

The OP included the link in his first post, but wanted to point out that all of the skinomi skins for the atrix are cheaper on amazon than the actual skinomi site. It's only a few bucks, but might as well save when you can.

That's why I put "The OP included the link" part. Just wanted to specifically point out that it's cheaper on amazon in case someone just googled skinomi and found their site lol. I would have ended up ordering from skinomi if I hadn't checked amazon first (wanted to take advantage of prime for shipping then found out it was cheaper) so I wanted to make sure others were aware.

I have the same thing, since this doesn't affect the car dock. I used the same skinomi carbon fiber kit on my Droid X, doesn't just peel off, you have to peal it off if you want it to come off..
I did use the screen protector that came with the kit, if you have any bubbles or blurs, it will go away within a couple of days.. I had 3 bubbles show up on my screen the next morning after installing, but it went away in 2/days.. I can't even tell I have it on, looks just like it did before I installed the screen protector..

They work fine just like they did for my Captivate too - put a T-shirt over your front buttons and try pressing them, does the same thing!
OP - Looks like "skinomi" charged you $20 for a pre-cut version of what you could have done yourself from an $8 strip from CarbonFiberFilm.com.... but hey, the cuts look good from what I can see in the pics, and it solves the issues people keep asking me about rounding off the corners on the back cover. I didn't do the back cover for a reason, so if you want to, buy this!

Yes I understand I was overcharged, however i do not have the expertise with cutting and probably would have wasted more than $20 worth of di noc

Just fitted my protector, it feels rubbery and it drags your finger as you move it across the screen, i have only just fitted it, so i don't know if this will improve once it dry`s out but at the moment i think i will removing it.

Did you get the full-body or just the screen? I got the full-body, but only plan on putting on the back.... I absolutely hate that feeling on a touchscreen.

Quite a few on here have been using these for a few months....More user views.....

I only got the screen protector, i just took it off, it felt really horrible to move my finger around the screen, i have a strong flip case so hopefully my screen will be protected from scratches anyway.
You experience of the protector might be different to mine, give it a go.

I suppose you are less likely to drop your H1 with the back being more grippy, it`s maybe an advantage.

Matte screen protector

Does anyone know a good one?. I see a lit for very little but I can't find any reviews. I don't like the feeling I something wget when I slide my finger across the screen and it has a ridiculous amount of friction

I don't know if you like to dig into facts most of the screen protectors come for some factory and are exactly the same even with variable prices from sellers on ebay and amazon. Buy cheapest one and expensive one. Test it out and realise.
American consumers look at price tags, many will recommend steinheil, ghost armor and all those , and when u end up buying a 50c one and compare, u will be surprised.

I also use the Tech Armor anti-glare and absolutely love them, and cheap too!! The company also stands very well behind their product.

I'm using atfolix since years on my smartphones and they were always pretty nice. They are very easy to attach plus they live really long.

Same here. I have to agree that there is definitely some grainyness but it doesn't show unless you are looking at solid light colors. Doesnt show in movies or games. Etc.

What about matte front and back shields, any suggestions for those?

Thanks you very much news, I think Samsung mobile phone accessories, screen protector is very good, very clear, and does not give Lewis a bad cell phone traces remain under the protection membrane cleaning can still continue to use the , is a very good accessoriesz

amFilm makes some good and cheap units that you can get on Amazon, so I'd recommend you take a look. I think it's $5 or so for three.

Did anyone else buy these when they popped up on Amazon? I got mine last week and was wondering what the cut out was for. It's in the middle of either the top or bottom. Hard to tell, but every leaked picture I see shows the camera being off to the side? At least it looms like that to me...

i would think you'd seen the leaked video of the Nexus 5 from the french site. if not, feel free to do a quick google.
in the video, at about 43 seconds, it shows what appears to be the ear piece up top in the center. looks like it's a bit smaller than the eraser on a number 2 pencil.

A screen protector is really useful? This doesn't spoil user experience? No small bubbles between the protection and the screen?

I live in the UK and found a listing on Amazon. Linky here. Not sure what I will get and when I will get it. But here's hoping it is a genuine Stenheil Product and I receive it close to my N5 :fingers-crossed:

So expect to get 4, not 3 protectors and for them to have a hole in the top middle rather than over the camera where everything points to it being....I'm hopeful stenheil will send replacements if the camera does indeed end up on the left side (which every single indication I've seen is it will)....

Looks like they changed the listing since I ordered, but I received a 4-pack.

Definitely not genuine. He's already shipped the product when the N5 isn't even out yet. He also change his listing and removed the Samsung Nexus 5 name (when we all clearly know the N5 is being made by LG). When I asked him what he has sent and whether it is a genuine Steinheil Product (as even their official website has no placeholder for the Ultra Crystal protector for N5) he simply replied he has sent a compatible one. What the hell is that about?! After 6-7 email exchanges (all logged by Amazon), I went to Amazon as the seller is now unwilling to give me a return postage label. I do not want this generic crap protector which doesn't even have a hole for the earpiece (as seen in the N5 leaked images).
I reported this seller to Amazon and am working through a claim. All I want is a refund, but not happy to pay return postage for a item which was misrepresented. Amazon even told me on the phone that this guy might be in breach of one or more of their policies. Anyway, just waiting for a refund now and will actually wait for the N5 to be released before ordering a SPIGEN protector from a legitimate store.

are just the crystal ones available? anyone have links to legit other ones?

Got one free with my Spigen hybrid case :thumbup:

Anker® Tempered-Glass Screen Protector

Installed last night and very impressed. Had 3 small patches of spider web, 2 of which have gone on their own and the 3rd is hardly noticeable and I have a feeling this will go too.
There's a slight lift around the edges of the earpiece, I guess that's down to the glass on the phone not being completely flat.
I've had a Spigen tr and a Nillkin, neither of which went on as well as the Anker - although that could be just me having more practice!
Oleophobic coating is also working nicely, a few smears but overall very good indeed.
I'd definitely recommend one especially if you don't want to pay the premium for Spigen.

This is with a Spigen Ultra Hybrid..

Just got one of these myself. Its pretty good but my cruzerlite tpu case is not working well with this SP. Might need to get a different case

I wish this was available in Canada =(

Just put mine on yesterday and only ended up with one small bubble in the top left area of the phone and no spider webs (w00t w00t!)
I have it paired with a Spigen Slim Armor and it fits on JUST about right. Not sure if it's putting pressure on the glass screen but it looks like it fits perfectly. We'll see how long it lasts with it.
Texture on the glass screen is amazing. Neither I or my co-workers could feel any type of difference.

bought this and have small spiderweb at bottom.. still happy, very high quality.
hope sw goes away after time.

I agree, wish I could find these in canada. $15 bucks I'm willing to spend, $35 not so much.

I just installed mine tonight. I love it. Feels great and have no issues with the touch screen.
I could have lined up the protector a little better, but despite that I only have a couple a small air bubbles that should go away.
I highly recommend it! I just wish my cruzerlite case would still work with it. Oh well...

Shame about the cases not working well.. Spigen Hybrid is fine, not noticed any issues as yet.

How thick is this screen protector?

I'll take some later :good:
0.38mm I think, feels very nice though.. not too thick at all.

Many thanks!

I'm wondering when they are selling them again. I'm doubting between Anker or Mime Ghost screen. Which one is better? Anker offers lifetime warranty though!

Not sure, I've not used the Mime yet.. Only this, the Spigen and the Nillkin. The Anker has been the best so far, it's still on my phone and not chipped, which is an improvement!

i got one recently about 2 weeks ago, and for some reason i got a huge bubble spider looking web about half inch on the bottom of my screen and about 2 small spider webs which i didnt mind too much. I contacted them through amazon since supposedly they're bubble "free". This is the reponse i got
"Thanks for the response and sorry for the issue.
Actually we have had this issue reported and we are currently investigating it with our suppliers as it seems to be a batch issue. A replacement as much as I would have liked to make, it's not a viable option.
May I ask a second chance to make things right by issuing a refund? We will further process once we get your consent."
Ever since then the screen protector is not available, i didnt want a refund because i liked the screen protector but that half inch bubble its getting on my nerves. So i went ahead and accepted the refund will be trying Nilkin i guess.

I got this screen protector a couple weeks ago, too, and I have a big bubble at the bottom that hasn't gone away. I just called and they said they have made some manufacturing changes to the protector which should (hopefully) resolve the bubble problems. However, the new batch won't be ready for 1-2 weeks.
I am going to wait for a new one. They will call me when they are ready to be shipped.
