Anyone have any luck find a skin? - Sony Xperia 5 II Accessories

I love skins they are protective and thin. But I haven't found any for this phone yet. I may have to order vinyl and cut my own

Looking for full body transparent skin, but can't find any. There is a back transparent film from a brand called imak. Ordered it, but will take some time to arrive.

I put in a request with Dbrand a bit ago, but they said they have no plans to support this device unfortunately. Depending on popularity they might change that. Go and request it your self on their contact page, they have a device request form.

I put the same request and got the same response. When we combine that with the fact that this is a Sony phone, the result is no skins from Dbrand, ever.
At least Xtremeskins got us covered??

Yeah I submitted a request a couple weeks ago with the same response. Xtreme skins it is.

Forget about Dbrand. We support the devices they do and don't do

just hear to see if someone finds a full wrap or one with sides.

And beware of these skins too for this phone. Almost impossible to get smooth edges with these skins. I had to install the skin maybe one mm short on each side and then tried to smooth the middle part. If you just stick the skin on like normally would do, the skin goes beyond the edge of the back and frame and will stay very sharp to the hand. 2 stars.
Also, do not buy the Modern Oak skin if you want the same looking skin that is displayed on the webpage. Very, very different in real life. Went straight to trash.

Could this case harm my phone?

I just ordered this case a few minutes ago
http://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B00G1G...qid=1392286988&sr=8-18&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
and now I saw that it uses a magnet to turn on/off the screen. I remember reading about magnets harming phones (compass, screen, etc.), so I wonder if I should cancel my order or if this case will be safe to use?
Don't panic. Magnets used in those kind of cases are safe for your phone.
Yeah you shouldn't worry. Even one of the official cases from Google/LG has the same feature.
I want something like that .-. Is there more cases like that?
Sent from my Nexus5™. On PA™.
" Nothing's ever locked..."
Thx everybody! Happily awaiting the arrival of my case (and my screen protectors) then. The on/off feature may even be a really nice thing, saves the power button some work.
@Galaxysm: No idea, but amazon.de ships almost everywhere and the price is really good atm. It fluctuates a lot on this case, I saw it for 16.99 two weeks ago, then 20.99 last week and today 9.99,

I've got the same case. The material on the inside is the same as the material on the outside (the color accent on the outside). It won't damage the screen at all, but it's not "soft," per se. Just smooth.

lukas_s got it right, I installed a screen protector on my device just because I'm paranoid like that, but it is very smooth, and the cards stay very secure. I'm happy with my purchase, and for under $20 you can't go wrong.

Does anyone here have a Toastmade skin?

I'm getting a HTC One (Silver or Black), and a toastmade wood skin.
Was wondering if anyone here is willing to post a picture of their phone with the skin on it to see what color/wood combination would look the best.
So far I'm feeling black/walnut, silver/bamboo

The pieces adhere directly to the phone with a 3M film. I only applied the back piece and not the sides, etc. Really doesn't provide much protection, I simply liked using wood and the aesthetics.
That looks really good, is it easily removable with no residue?

Sigh.
I got mine today. I slightly misaligned the back plate on mine, and did not even push down on it. I tried to readjust it with no luck. I then heated it up with a blow dryer to fully remove it - I pulled a bit of the corner up and I immediately saw that this was not gonna be possible. There was going to be a TON of residue left on the back of my phone if I tried to fully take it off.
I'm extremely disappointed. Not at the product, but at myself and also how much of a hassle it is to remove it.
-The skin does look great if applied on correctly.
-Not sure if it's worth the $30 or not yet.
-The removal process is much harder than the site/packaging says it is.

Smooth rounded edges around the perimeter like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797094
Rounded Borders: The edges are tapered to be chip resistant and more durable. See this one (for Note 3) http://www.spigen.com/brands/samsun...te-3-glas-tr-slim-premium-tempered-glass.html
Round edges will feel smoother to the touch.

I'm sorry, but they look exactly alike from what I can tell (at least as far as you can see on Amazon).
And in all the screen protectors I ever saw - they just go along with the devices' shape, that's why I don't understand the question "does it have round edges?" - if the phone has round edges, so will the screen protectors (again, at least in all the screen protectors for every phone I ever saw).
Also, relax.

To get back to the original topic, did you buy the Nacodex and, if so, how is it in terms of quality and your user experience? I've seen zilch on XDA and the OnePlus One forums about this particular screen protector.
And by the way: This is why the second poster asked whether the protector had rounded edges:
People have received a square-edged SP from Nillkin that was marketed for the OPO but didn't fit.

I think what he's asking is whether the edges/sides are rounded off vs. being a sharp, square cut. It sounds like the misunderstanding is which part of the screen protector we're talking about. I took it as the edges/sides, but it sounds like you're thinking corners?

Bumper Frame Cases

I love to use very minimalistic cases that don't add much bulk to the phone. Mainly want one for protecting the corners of the phone if it is dropped. My preference is a bumper frame that does not have a back to it. I used to have one from Motorola for my Moto X but I cannot seem to find any for the V20. Anyone had any luck finding any yet?

I actually already emailed them and asked them if they would be making one. They said no. Their cases seem like they offer so much protection with almost no case at all. But yes please email them. Hopefully if they see there is demand they will offer one.

That Sux,but,thank you for the news regardless & also for taking the lead in finding a bumper for this phone.
Nillkin made a nice one for several phones a couple years ago,but,it seems they've dropped that item from their line-up on newer phones.
I have zero interest in the POS aluminum ones that litter e-Bay,I'm sure you've seen 'em.
I've tried 'em out (on past phones) & for the most part,they're just downright awful.
Anyhoo,back to the RhinoShield:
I'm gonna hold out a glimmer of hope,as the phone won't be available in their market (Australia,I believe) for another two weeks,perhaps demand will grow & they'll change their minds:

Yeah I'm still holding out hope! I just think the phone looks great and I hate hiding my phones in cases where you can't even see them. They also tend to add some bulk (depending on what you go with). Hopefully someone will step up to the plate and make one. But yeah I've seen a bunch of those aluminum ones for other phones and yeah they look like junk.

LG makes a bumper for the V10, i'm sure they will have them for the V20.
Anyway I will be in china next week, I ll see what I can pick up, i'm sure aluminum bumper are available, but I prefer more protection.

Interesting. I wasn't aware they made one for the V10. Sure hope you're right and they produce one. Someone has to step up and produce one I'm sure. With the demise of the Note7, this phone is becoming a lot more popular than people expected I believe and I think someone will hop on board and produce one.

I had the OEM LG V10 Bumper, & as with most other current LG devices, OEM accessories weren't readily available to most outside of S. Korea, at least at phone launch time.
Makes no sense to me, why let the 3rd party mfgs get to market before selling your own accessories, SMH, yet, that's been LG's M.O. for as long as I can remember.....

It did look super nice on the phone and left that cool back open, but it did nothing to protect the camera which was soft, painted aluminum. I switched it for a different case. It seems like bumper cases aren't as popular now. When I had my G3, there were about 10 different manufacturers of bumpers. Really, all I want for this phone is something to protect the top and bottom and to keep the screen and camera hump raised off the surface.

Anyone know where to get a replacement back cover?

Pretty much what the title says, does anyone know where I can get a replacement back cover for my v20?
Looking too. Haven't found one yet. Don't know if they're available yet. Lg usually releases these type of things pretty late imo..
Im waiting for any after market ones. Preferably with a soft back like the predecessor V10.

After the Note Coral Blue, I find I've grown tired of 16 years of an endless array of black, silver, silver and black, silver...... you get the idea. I wanted a pink V20. I'd take any branding.
i've seen them in china, not sure if they are OEM, mine is in perfect condition, so I have no need to look for one. I also have a Pink V20.
