Skinomi Carbon Fiber Skin is absolutely gorgeous! - Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories

So I decided that I got tired of Samsung's infamous glossy polycarbonate fingerprint-magnet casing and decided to do something about it. I think you'll find the results below are quite stunning if I do say so myself.
Feel free to comment and share your thoughts/questions. : )

I normally dislike skins, but I do have to agree that this one looks rather nice.

Looks good, do you have it in a case also?
If so can we see your setup.

That case looks pretty much identical to the Poetic case I got from Amazon - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008YZ8VL8. I get on very well with it as it is not too bulky.

Have added two pics for you guys of the front and my case and carbon fiber stylus as well.

Hey mate, the skin looks awesome and I'm thinking of getting one. Question, what weather widget are you running?

I've had the skinomi brushed steel skin on my note for about two months now. After about 5 weeks, the thinner strips along the front bezel and sides started to slip and the adhesive seemed to be breaking down. I have since removed them and now only have the pack pieces on. I did contact skinomi via amazon and I believe they are going to offer a replacement. Just a heads up. I'll be curious to see how yours wears on...

Cheap eBay bnumper cases, I got one, quick review with pics

The cheap eBay Bumper case I posted about on another board arrived today and it looks quite good until you pick it up and notice how thin and light it is which kind of goes hand in hand with it's massively small £3 price. It does the job fine on a S2 with the stock battery though but with extended battery the lip surrounding the front bezel is less pronounced.
It is not great with the Zenis dock either as it doesn't sit flush whereas the Zenis one does. I was expecting it to fit fine but the bottom is not sitting nicely like the Walnutt bumper does.
So far I think the Walnutt case looks the best and also feels like it's worth some ££ too. I especially like the lip bearing the Walnutt brand name on the back, it kind of completes an otherwise baron backside, something that the SGP NeoHybrid EX bumper lacks although I'm sure the SGP feels every bit as good and expensive as the Walnutt ones.
Considering the Walnutt bumper is thicker than the cheap eBay one I was surprised it was exactly the same thickness when put on the phone, I put it on my dad's S2 with stock battery to compare in the pics below.

Wow 10 pounds for shipping to Spain! What a RIP OFF. I'll write the seller and see what he says. I doubt though that he'll change the price. I've had books and computer parts delivered for less!

Good Slim, White, Matte Finish Case? (Ships to Canada)

Suggestions for a good thin, white, matte finish case that ships to Canada?
I am using the original "Designed for Samsung" case, made by Samsung itself. It's slim and has a nice rubbery and matte outside. Here are some pictures with it:

The code of the case is SAMNCCWH. If you search for that you will surely find it. Good luck
wasn't it determined that this case wasn't made by Samsung actually?
still looks nice, im looking at getting the black version, but not covering the top and bottom is making me hesitant.

Sorry, I didn't get that. Who exactly determined that?
I suggest that this silicone case, ultra-thin and transparent, do not feel the weight of. Link

Skip to post #61 for conversation about authenticity.
It seems to be made by Kondor Limited, who is an OEM manufacturer contracted by Samsung.
The case may not be official, but people still like it and say it fits well. Not bad at all.
I use this one on my white Nexus. It's a little transparent.

Any flip/stand case -without- wallet?

Hi,
I'm looking for a case that's like this style:
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
but without the wallet / creditcard space. I just want a thin flat cover for the screen, not something with my plastic sticking out to scratch or mark it whatever
i hope that makes sense
i look on amazon/ebay but all of this style case are only with wallet
anyone have suggestion of simple flat no-wallet version of this case style?
thanks
Just don't put any cards in it!
I think this one will suit your needs. Not sure about the quality though; my biggest concern is the PU leather back. It seems rather thin.

If you don't mind not having a stand, Nillkin is probably the most popular choice.

Appears to be the "iTALKonline LG Google Nexus 5 (2013) CARBON FIBRE BLACK Executive Wallet Case Cover Skin Cover with HORIZONTAL VIEWING STAND and Credit Card Holder" on Amazon. Can't link it since I'm a new member. There are other cases at a very similar price on amazon.

Gorgeous back cover

Just bought one of these for £2.99, it arrived in 2 days, and I got to say, it is beautiful. Feels so nice to use on my OPO. The picture really doesn't do it justice. I actually prefer it to the original sandstone touch.

Just ordered one myself, will see how it is. Thanks for the heads up
I have bought from them for all my phones that they do the cases for. It feels almost like silk.

Stumbled upon a review on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q43HYVeiiPo
and on amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MPIC9KO/ref=cm_sw_su_dp
Be careful with the generic back cover cases..
I ordered 2 cases similar to these, a red one and white one. The white one fits poorly so i sent it back. The red one fits nicely but after a week i took my phone out of the case and saw that it left red paint on the back of my sandstone black cover..GRRRR. So be warned about these cheap generic cases. I put tape on the inside of the case to prevent any more paint coming off onto my phone. This is my first 5.5" phone and i fumble it alot but only dropped it twice but these case will not prevent your phone from being chipped, as expected since it's not a full cover. I'm waiting for my new case which is a full shock protection case.
Doesn't look any different then the xtremeguard case that I bought for way cheaper.
$3.99 plus $1.49 carbon fiber back vinyl = $5.48 free shipping

Spigen Rugged Armor Case / Zizo ION Case

My case finally came in today..here are some pics...also have the Zizo ION case which will be delivered tomorrow, will post up some pics when it arrives...

Here are the pics of the Zizo case...fits nice and snug...feels really durable...not too sure about the tempered glass, seems like its not sticking on the the edges--it does have almost full coverage minus the camera...maybe thats why its NOT sticking well..
How do you like the Spigen?
I love it...provides good protection and feels great in the hands...very thin as well

Using spigen, is it hard to press on volume buttons?
No issues with the volume button...
I have the Zizo case as well. I don't like it. First person to PM me can have it. I'll ship it this Saturday and pay shipping to you.
*Tempered glass not included
My Zizo case came yesterday. I don't think I like it. It's ok but I like my cheap pink one better.
(this one) http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/accessories/cheap-case-t3489690/page1
I got the green/clear Zizo. I don't like the way the clear tpu sticks to the back (that wet look) and the green color wasn't as nice as it looked in the pictures online. Just plain lime green.
It's an interesting case though. Fits well. I'm probably just biased because I'm already used to the pink one.
Well, just got my 2.99 obliq flex pro from the Mailman... I'll see how I like that one next!

I like my Spigen one better...but I just want the protection...I dropped my Note 7 shortly after receiving the 2nd recalled version and it got a tiny scratch on the screen...fortunately I had to return it anyways lol...Now I dont want to chance this V20 getting a nick...
Oops missed this thread, I started another for the Spigen Rugged. Excellent case for $12 on Amazon Prime. Good balance between light and still protective.
