Gelaskins review

Review for "Gelaskins Enamored Owl Samsung Galaxy S III "
Hellur everyone, as you can see the gelaskin is pretty much a sticker that goes onto the body of your phone, be aware that with the gelaskins you dont get a screen protector so youll have to custom cut your own.
It took me at least 45 minutes to put this on, i dont have any fingernails so it was rough to apply it to the phone correctly
But all in all it smooths out easily and looks freaking awesome. Gives your phone a unique look and feeling.
I would rate this higher than any other phone skin, gelaskins customer service is also pretty reliable and awesome. Great place to get a phone or tablet skin.

I've always wondered about these. How do you view your content/screen through this? All I see is the design. Doesn't that get annoying?

The design is just a wallpaper matching the skin. Nothing is covering the display.
The skin is 3 parts:
The back skin
The front-top skin covering the earphone
The front-bottom skin covering the softkeys/home button

That's correct. Gelaskins let's you download the matching wallpaper with the phone skin. Pretty awesome, make sure you pick a design you wont get sick of.

Yeah it feels awesome..matches my N7

Do you see a dB drop when the case is on?

It looks really good..
Does it have a front glass protector or do you use the nylon screen-protector?

Top Case Makers

Out of the top makers, who do you think will or should provide a case of some sort, personally I would like a sleek Otterbox or a Ringke Fusion. By the looks of it, a Ringke is in the production. Time will tell for that. But out of all honestly, I do not think Otterbox will deliver any time soon.

I really like the UAG cases. It would be a pity if there wasn't one for the Nexus 5.

Here's the render of the Ringke Fusion for the Nexus 5 from their Amazon listing. I think it looks purdy. Tempted to pre-order it.

I go for minisuit as their accessories are not that expensive but still of good quality. I used to like otterbox though.
Anyhow, I wonder if there's a forum or a survey website which offers list of top case makers online. I think that would help thousands of users who are looking for accessories online.

Definitely UAG! Had one for GS4 it's awesome.
EDIT: I ordered a Cruzerlite case for the N5 when they had the free shipping deal and it shipped today

Running Diztronic TPU on my N4, matched well with N4's nice angular lines...so will look into their N5 offerings on amazon.

The N5 will be my first Nexus device. Is Ringke Fusion the best case protection?
I had a Samsung Smart Cover with my Note 2 and I don't want anymore something that hides the screen...

Spigen has a few going at the moment. Which is huge cause they barely supported the Nexus 4. I personally love their work. My girlfriend has a few for her iPhone 5.

Hopefully we get an OtterBox

What about Case-Mate and Puro ?

What about Zenus?
Did anyone tried the ones 4 nexus 4?

I think he's talking about the black one? It's the same guy that's complaining about these on every thread about spigen. The black one does scratch the phone on the corners.

Does anyone know how I can purchase this case? The website doesn't give me the option to order it

Confirmed. The black one scratched 3 of my corners unfortunately. My Neo Hybrid however is fantastic.

Are you guys worried about the gap??

Are you guys worried about your note 4 having a gap? after hearing about the first phones over seas having a gap between the screen and the metal frame. don't know what to think of it, I wanna get the note on the 17th, but am afraid to pre order the note just because I don't want to open my brand new phone to a gap..

Nope.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'm not worried at all about it. I've had at least one spot, in every phone I've owned, that had a gap in it somewhere. If this is what it takes to bond metal to glass, I'm all for it. It actually states the gap is there in the manual, so it's a design feature. Check out this video about the gap.
www.youtube.com/embed/r3mNJCNnARo

If the glass was right up against the metal, the slightest drop would cause the screen to spider crack. The plastic had a little absorption abilities but metal will transfer any vibration directly to the glass...so you should be happy it is there...it shows they were thinking.

Had a pair of note 2's in the family for a couple of years they've worked fine all this time. They both had a gap that you could barely fit a sticky note in. Not really a problem.
