Same as any skin. Remove the back from the phone. Do a test fit first to see that it fits correctly. Then apply. The best way is to line up the holes on the back and then smooth out towards the sides to remove any bubbles
Don't worry about wrinkles. Get it lined up and slapped on. Then take a blow dryer and heat it up. That makes it easy to get on straight and remove creases. It also warms up the glue and makes it takier.
I've never understood the appeal of "skins". Personally I feel you'd be better off with a "slim" case, and under most circumstances it would probably be a cheaper route.
A friend had installed a Skinomi variant on his Droid X, and recently upgraded to a S3 as well. He decided to sell off his DX to a co-worker and had one hell of a time removing the skin, which ended up practically melting to the battery door and back casing of the device.
I have one on my nexus at the moment. Considering upgrading to the s3 as soon as I can play with one.
why buy a skin, when you can buy an entire backcover?
someone buy mine. i have a white GS3, but they sent me a black one. 10bucks paypal shipped USPS first class if you want it. PM ME!

Is that a case or a replacement back?
I guess it's a case? Oh well. Too bad you can't tag a user on here to get their attention
It's a replacement back - search on eBay if you're trying to find them without trying to bug a user..... they're all over, here's the one I bought and I love it!
http://r.ebay.com/m1c5vn
MUCH better than any cheap skin you're going to buy with all those awful n00b cutouts on the edges since they're assuming you don't have a heat gun to stretch it out.... by the way, I do vinyl graphics for a living, I know a thing or two about templates when compared to custom cut out vinyl and these even nicer back covers!
I have one of these and I love it. The only problem is the A and the L fell off.

You want to send me your "Y" then since all the hype I've given this thing has apparently caused it to fly off somewhere.... Haha, time to order another one and protect it with a small layer of glue!

So, I went ahead and gave Phantom's new Chromatic's a try. I went with the Carbon Fiber Black. IMO it looks amazing. Instead of wasting 1.5 hours of my time I just had the guy at the mall install it for $10. There is one flaw on the top left corner there are 2 little ripples and I plan on taking it back to have them fix as it has a lifetime warranty with their install. One of the pics shows this. Other than that, I love it.
This also includes the screen protector.
FYI, it does not have that rubbery grippy feel of a normal skin so if you desire that, I suggest staying away form this. Also, while it breaks in, the edges of the back skin pick up pocket link like a vacuum.
In my experience testing zagg, BSE and now Phantom Skinz, the phantom just seems to have a unsurpassed quality to it. Just my .02. Enjoy the pics!

Looks great! Can't wait for mine to get here so I can try the install. What store at the mall did the install for you?
Sent from my Vibrant using XDA App
You dont have to go to a mall to get it. You can order it from phantom skinz your self and put it on yourself. Link If you dont want to do it yourself just call phantom skinz and ask them. They are based out of Gilbert, AZ and I live just down the streat from there so maybe that is why there was a kiosk in that mall. Thier number is (480) 497-2965, call and ask if they have a kiosk in a mall near you.
Very stupid question but does this provide adequate protection for the phone? If you happen to drop the phone would this protect it?
$15, I'd be sold.
$20, if I was drinkin'...
$30? No way.
The White Carbon Fibre did look sweet though.

That looks sick, i would only do the battery cover part though since the front looks like it doesn't fit right, i would have taken them the gay extra purple battery cover( in case the adhesive wanted to give me **** one day) and had them wrap that **** and called it a day, i wonder if they only sell the back hhhhmmmmm... let me check

Not hijacking this thread, but would appreciate it when you guys get your skin in, can you take a HQ scan of it? I would like to have the pattern to cut my own skin out of vinyl. Thanks people.
Yes, a scan would be much appreciated!

Oh yeah, I got owned. OK, whatever 12 year old.
Anyways, can you show me where it says they are copyrighted. I have had several different skins for other devices and I have never seen anything about a cutout having a copyright. I may be wrong but I have never seen it, although I admit I had never really looked too hard.
Oh and you didn't spoil my day, it just would be nice to have a scan. I have already made my own cutout but wanted to see how others have handled the wrapping of the corners versus what I have done.

Really? Just accept what he just told you and move on dude..
Be prepared to hate me. It took quite a bit of modification and I do not recommend anyone to do it because its a pain in the ass and its better just to wait for the real Verizon housing to come out. I used to GSM white housing and modified it to fit, for the most part at least.
I also had to use a ****ty webcam because that's all I had to work with that can take pictures in my apartment. You can see that I was trying to hide behind the phone.

Yes, what was once a nice looking piece of plastic is now a mangled mess on the inside. But of course the battery door covers it all up. If this thing gets in water there is no saving it. I had to do a LOT of cutting and shaving and grinding.

Granted it does look good on the outside, next time I would just spray paint the original chassis white or just wait.
You should totally mod it to fit and send the housing to me for me to put on. Ill pay ya ;D
White Housing for GSM Nexus is $25 shipped on eBay for a limited stock, doesn't include the battery door. The barebones Silver goes for $13, so this is pretty good. I snatched one up, as my White Housing is scuffed up but my door is fine.

I was looking for a battery cover to replace mine and ditch the carrier branding. I love the look of the Int. cover, how it was designed.
Anyway there are a lot of sellers for these things and they range in price from high to low. Just wanted to give a heads up in case anyone was looking for one. This guy shipped INCREDIBLY fast. Like 4-5 days fast, I wasn't expecting it for at least 2 weeks.
I'm looking for a white one. The pictures seem pretty haggard from the ones I found.
Thanks for posting. I may try it out. Quality and fitment good? It says original, true OEM?
Edit - I caved. You made me do it.
Perfect fit and finish. I compared it to my original and it looks identical, actually fits even snugger. My AT&T one had the slightest bit of movement, one of the tabs didn't lock as good as it should.
You will not be disappointed. I may actually order a white myself. I was honestly shocked by how fast this guy shipped it. It was like 4 days after I ordered from China.
No way these are genuine from china?
But cheap enough... don't have to worry about scratching :good:
i'm going to order one. Just in case, i only had my phone for a few days and seen fine scratchs on mine.
I compared and really see or feel no difference what so ever. I'm extremely picky with this stuff. Seller says they are original, they look and more importantly feel original and MOST importantly fit like the original. Every tab looks the same, paint and gloss finish looks identical.
So yeah...China or not these are legit. Even if they are a copy they are an EXACT copy. Not one aspect of these parts feels or looks fake. Am I making my point?
His feedback is further proof of his quality parts.

Why wouldn't they be legit from China? The battery says "Cell made in Korea, Assembled in China" and the label beneath the battery says "Made in China"... Why wouldn't China have the spare OEM parts?

Thanks for the heads up, I want to get rid of my AT&T branded cover too and I think the international version looks much better.
You all might think this is stupid but I'm thinking of putting a pebble back on my white sgs.
I saw a guy do it in a video review for the oem flip cover and I loved how the blue and white clashes. So this is so something I plan on doing. Minus the flip cover.

If that's the case you most certainly should not have to purchase one, in fact I'd be hesitant to even use the device; I'd say a return is in order...
I was looking for a anti-fingerprint screen protector and i stumbled upon this case, it looks amazing, not sure if anyone has this one already and can give us a quick review, its called Nillkin.
Here is the link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Newest-HT...rd-Shell-Cover-Screen-Protector-/370808049120
Im going to order one and give you guys a quick review, it ship almost everywhere around the world, free and fast delivery in the UK and its only £8.00, very reasonable, it also comes with a screen protector so it might be worthy.
Looking forward to some feedback.
here are some photos.
Edit: just placed my order, might get it by mid week next week since its already weekend. will give some review once i got it

I've got one in black and its an awesome case, i'd say a better fit and more durable than the casemate cases too.
Two questions before I buy this case:

2) Do these hard shells not damage the phone at all?
Absolutely love this case. Almost looks like the phone was made that way. Doesn't offer the best protection, but if you just care about protecting the back, this is of the best and best looking.

I too have a white nillkin case and their grey flip.
Only problem with the flip is the case is too close to the headphone port, so I have a kld oscar 2 on back order to fix this.
Plus I love the black monolith look, reminds me of the film 2002 a space odyssey.

Have had one for a few days now off eBay.
Knew it was obviously fake due to price but thought I'd try it out anyway (packaging was fantastic lol, taped up Google box)
The sides of the case come in on an angle towards the phone, not sure if it's like that on official model. Buttons are literally 1-1.5mm in height so pressing them is impossible.
Apart from those defects, the case fits great
hahaha awesome. gonna have to snag one asap

Apart from those defects, the case fits great

Sounds the same as the official case.

Thanks for the info. Wouldn't be surprised if they are exact replicas of the original with maybe some color variations...And I noticed the taped up Google packaging on one of the eBay listings..lol
I'd be a bit worried. Google couldn't even get the case right with it's early degradation problems. Maybe this will be a case of the knock off being superior to the real thing? I'd have my doubts though.
Can someone that has this case post pictures?

Looks like I'll be getting the black one tomorrow. I'll post some pics
How much are you guys getting these? On eBay they're 22 and amazon 18? A bit expensive for a clone isn't it?

Amazon was knocking another $5 off at checkout. I do think that's still expensive considering you can get a tpu case for a couple bucks, but when comparing to what Google's charging, its a decent deal if the quality is the same or better.
Just received the black case. It came in a legit Google package that didn't look to be tampered with. Only issue being the packaging is for a gray case. The case fits like a glove and quality seems alright. The color is uniform throughout, unlike the two toned look of the Google bumper. Overall I'm satisfied..
