It's always a pain putting those on though. You can never quite get it to look as perfect as the pictures show, unless you get one of those Indian guys from the mall to put it on.

putting a $20 skin on plastic back that will be a $10 item seems silly. I bet we see $10 back covers all over the place soon.

I haven't received my phone yet, but I am thinking about putting a BestSkinsEver skin on the back. I realize the back will probably be sold on eBay for $10 at some point, but I hear the phone can get a little slippery and the skins add just the right amount of rubbery tackiness to keep the phone from slipping out of my hand.

Having a lot of experience in this subject (see link in signature), I can go ahead and tell you that if you don't have a lot of experience, you won't get that skin to wrap around the corners and edges properly and make it look the way you want it to. Good luck, but it seems like throwing away money because you sure won't be satisfied with the results!

Its easy to get on. Cut the backing down the middle, then tape the other end to the phone. Then remove the half of the skin backing, then the other. And any wrinkles just heat with a blowdryer and its perfect.

is it actually a carbon fibre cover or just plastic?

thats what i thought, ill just wait for the rubber back cover at least that will add some protection.

I have ordered this and it is en route to my house!!!

Best "least intrusive" skin?

Heard some concerns about the fit of skins such as the 'barely there'. Want to order one soon and was wondering what opinions are now that some time has passed.
I want a skin to protect the back from scratching or chipping from small falls, not enough to protect it from a hammer! Don't want to make the phone too bulky and will be using an Xoskin on the front.

Lots of TPU skins out there already. Quick and dirty way to see what's available is to do a search on Amazon. Diztronic seems to be an early favorite.

Search for diztronic on amazon UK comes up with:
Minisuit
Is that what you meant?

i got the s-curve one from ebay for 3 bucks (same as the minisuit one, sometimes goes under the name of qubits) and it's pretty slim. i also ordered the nilikin one to see if it's any thinner or snugger, because i didn't think the s-curve one was snug enough. i don't like the diztronic one because it has some extra cutouts (ie for the power button) which means a little less protection

These are the ones he is referring to. I am thinking about picking one up myself. Let me know if you end up doing it; i'm curious to see how they are.

I just get this

Looks decent but I prefer when the top and bottom of the phone are protected as well. I mean if you are gonna bulk it up why not cover the whole thing? Doesn't that thing slip off fairly easily?

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.

Skinomi Carbon Fiber Skin is absolutely gorgeous!

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...

Best unofficial case

For me, I use a Xeptio one in blue. It works great. What cases do you use?

Is this a hard case or a silicon/tpu soft case? I am looking for a hard case and can't find any. If you know one, post a link please.

My case is a flip case and uses a TPU case to attach it.
AFAIK there isn' t a true hard case...

I have the same - a blue xeptio.
Very happy with it.

Not a case as such, but I like the AdoreJune Slip cases, I also have a Tempered Glass protector on the phone (Orzly) but am happy enough to use it without a case and then put it in the slip/sit it on the slip when not in use.

Going to try adapt a iPhone or S5 3D printed case for this phone.
Seems it's a nice option if this phone isn't supported on your country officially.

made a 3d printed one for our phone, still working on it, as it doesn't quite fit comfortably yet,

In any 'case', just don't get the official one - it sucks (I had two, both developed small cracks (as if it's slightly too small). I'm happy to say I got a refund
Well, sucks... not really, it's ok as a case, but I can't stand that it's cracked - though I'm still using it. So technically it works

I ordered a $1 black TPU case from AliEx, fits well, openings are good, sadly the logo isn't cut out.
