Skinomi skins, carbon fiber - Nexus S Accessories

http://www.skinomi.com/googlenexuss1.html
dunno if anybody's seen this. For those who prefer skins over cases, they have 3 designs available. I just received my carbon fiber skin...

How do you like the CF finish? I was contemplating the same one from Amazon. The sole review wasn't promising.

The quality and feel is nice. Not slippery, feels good in hand. Just putting the skin on is a b*tch. Couldn't get the edges to line up, ended up with creases around the corners. I'm sure those more adept at putting skins on will have no problem.

I am a pro at installing skins and screens and I can say that the skinomi carbon fiber skin is not cut correctly. It creases on the corners and with time it will peel off.

That's what I was afraid of.
to the OP, is it real CF or just a sticker with CF pattern?

It feels like carbon fiber but who knows.

I just got mine yesterday as well and like it a lot.
The carbon fiber feel is nice and its thicker and stiffer then a sticker, actually does feel like carbon fiber.
As for the application, I'm terrible at putting these things on.
I did my best to line up all the cutouts. I then used a hair dryer on the corners and made sure I pulled the tabs to slightly stretch them as I bent them down.
It seemed to stick very well with the aid of the hair dryer.
The edges of the skin obviously dont fit flush against the case and are slightly raised because of the skins thickness, if something keeps getting caught on it, I would worry about it peeling back in time.
But so far so good and it seems securely 'adhesed'/'adhesived'?

Use "get25" at checkout to get 25% off or around $5.
14.99 is still expensive for a skin that doesn't fit well. I got creases on mine at the corners as well but called them and they are shipping me a new one. Might have the same problem though but at least I got 2 screen protectors!

so bc of the creases, I get lint/dust from my pockets stuck to the edges. too bad bc the carbon fiber gives it a sexy look. If it was precisely cut, I'd recommend it 100%. Buy at ur own risk.

I don't think its the skins fault. The shape of the nexus s battery cover makes it impossible to fit a thick skin to it. Probably the same reason no cases are out yet.

Skinomi carbon fiber skin
Just got this carbon fiber skin yesterday.. I think it look pretty cool. Installation was like 15 mins cause there is some heatgum process involved.. not big deal.... made by Skinomi. I paid like 18 or so. Amazon.Com.

WOW that looks amazing! i bought one too but can't seem to get the edges at the bottom aligned due to the bump on the bottom of the phone. How did you get it so smooth without ANY creases or folds when it gets to that part? and could you specify what you did for the heatgum process?

I notice they include the screen protector with it... how is that? Is it rubbery or smooth? Orange peel?
Thanks =)

I cant speak for the OP, but the way I did it was use a hair dryer.
I used the medium heat setting and the skin gets really malleable when it gets hot. Then you can pull it to stretch it and it grips on the curves really well without creases.
I pretty much used the hair dryer on all the edges. Just spot used it on one edge, pull and stretch and make sure the skin is smooth, then repeated for the 3 other edges.

That **** looks effin' DOPE.

Just wrapped the back of my official Samsung TPU case!

I received my black Samsung TPU case on Saturday. I'm not a fan of glossy black cases; I had a cheap one with my old Atrix a year ago and it ended up getting scratched and scuffed easily through normal everyday use.
I waxed the back of the Samsung case with carnauba car wax before using it. The back of the case started to show some scratches only after a few days of light usage, and it will only get worse. It was also a fingerprint magnet too as some of you guys already pointed out on the Samsung TPU case thread. I could not put the case down on its back without getting scratched over time.
Since I have OCD when it comes to glossy surfaces with scratches and fingerprints, I decided to order some 3M metallic wrap and wrap the back of the case. I tried to order ones as close to the stock titanium grey color as possible.
Here are the materials I ordered; brushed steel and brushed black metallic:

I thought brushed steel color looked closer to the stock titanium grey color so I decided to use that instead. The black metallic actually looks darker in person. It took me about 10 minutes to apply and cut.
Here are my results:
So far, I'm loving it! No finger prints! And based on experience with other 3M products I've used in the past, this shouldn't scratch nearly as easily as the original gloss black finish on the case. The only thing that is bugging me a little bit is that it looks too plain; I need to slap on a sticker or something like that.
What do you guys think?
It's beautiful! I'm not familiar with the metallic wrap...is it actually metal or just metal look? Is it a sticker? I guess i could just Google it...
I love how it looks!

That looks good maybe I should order one and have you do one for me in some 3M Carbon wrap. I live in L. A. too.

It's a sticker and it's just the metal look. The 3M stuff is some high quality stuff. It's used a lot for automobiles.

It's actually pretty easy to do. Just apply it on as well as you can by hand, then use a blow dryer to make the material soft and press firmly on the edges so the indents on the edges show up better. Just trace along the edges with an art knife and remove the excess. That's pretty much it.
Very nice job, in deed, and probably going to do it...Since, I cannot find no protection in Hungary, I just used some electrical tape,,yes does not look nice, but, it is protecting the back of the phone
looks good, nice job! I have the same case but have the Seidio surface coming. I did not like the gloss either but it is a surprisingly good TPU case especially for 50% off on the Samsung website.
You can order enough of the 3M Scotchprint 1080 vinyl to cover the back of your phone for $1.99 per sheet + shipping here: http://www.metrorestyling.com/3M-Scotchprint-Series-1080-Brushed-p/smpl1080br.htm
This stuff is marketed to apply to the exterior of cars as a substitute for custom painting. It must be pretty durable if it is expected to hold up to normal road hazards. The samples are described as being 4x8 inch and shipping to my address was just $2
Search on key word "sample" and you can order other colors, styles, makes etc. i.e. carbon fiber, several styles of camouflage, solid colors.
It just occurred to me there is a 50/50 chance whether the grain of the brushed surface may be running in the horizontal or vertical direction. If that matters to you you might want to find a source for a larger piece such as this

This seems like a great inexpensive source for the material. Personally it would matter to me and I would want the grain to run in the long direction from the top to the bottom of the phone. One of us should give them a call and ask if the samples ship in one orientation or if it's random.

Just got mine. There's a cut out for the power button/ir transmitter. Its slightly loose on the extreme top.
And the supcase logo on the back isn't centered and its a bit crooked. Other than that its fine for a 10$ case

Awesome, in for one then!
If anyone has one of these, can you describe the quality of the built in screen protector?
Does it feel like cheap plastic or glass? Does dust get trapped under there easily?
Would really appreciate it, that Supcase full body unicorn beetle looks awesome in my opinion!
I bought this Supcase.

Quality seems good. The clear power button is not loose at all. Lovely design, plenty of room around the camera and flash. Plenty of room around the headphone socket. No sharp edges that I find on some ~£10 cases.
Only problem is I ordered blue, and they sent me black...

I have both the Hybrid and the Unicorn Beetle... Didn't like the Hybrid at all. The fit on it is not that good, the top and bottom lips are a bit loose and saggy. Because of that, a lot dust and lint collects through there and into the case. I took it off after a week and also noticed some scratching on the clear glossy back. I don't recommend it at all, I think after some time, this case could possibly do more harm than good to your phone.
However, I also got the Unicorn Beetle and love the case! It's as if it was made by a different manufacturer, lol. The case fits perfect, good and snug, but not too tight. I wasn't crazy about the matte plastic bumper at first, it felt kind of slippery, but after a few days it seems to have broken in and feels good, nice grip. Highly recommend the Beetle over the Hybrid, totally worth the extra $4 or so.
i'm interested in the supcase white/clear but can anyone confirm if the white yellows? thanks.
which one?

That is the case that I ordered. Reasonable build quality, the rubber on the sides is pretty firm, and a little bit more grip-y than the naked phone.
I like the frosted back, as it feels resiliant enough to withstand an impact, but still shows off the brushed aluminum on the back of the phone.
Ive noticed a little bit of glare in photos with the flash enabled, I noticed that the edge surrounding the camera lens what polished so I lightly sanded it which noticeably decreased the problem.
The cutouts for the power and audio connections were a little sharp for me so I beveled them off with an exacto.
All in all, great quality case for what you are paying, and it makes me more confident in my grip on the phone!
I cant link because im to new a member apparently..

I would definitely get a case for this

Went into a tmobile store to see their demo blue coral and noticed a lot of scuff marks on the bottom rear of the phone. I can only assume they've only had this for a a week and it's already this bad. SMH. They are definitely scratches. I tried rubbing it off and ran my nails through it. Rough AF.

Anyone that doesn't immediately get a case for a glass phone, gets what they deserve.
Maybe that's how they made gorilla glass 5 more durable to drops by making it softer. But now more susceptible to scratches.

Speaking of cases, what is everyone planning on getting? I got a cheap Supcase Bettle unicorn, frosted case to begin with. I'll probably get a Spigen Neo hybrid later on.
I'm not going with a case... Toast said they'll have wooden skins ready by the end of the month, so that's what I'm going for.
Maybe leather if they make one. But not metal or plastic.

Ok, looking at that...you convinced me not to use a typical case. What devices have you used this for? How does it protect against drops? I am not one of those who will beat down on their devices but sometimes I do forget it is on my lap while at movie theaters and it will drop....or stepping down from cars. Does it cover all the edges? Looking at the pictures on their websites I can't tell....give me the skinny!

The very edges are slightly visible, but the corners are covered. The sides of the phone are also covered, and they include wooden button caps and camera lens covers. The front isn't covered unless you spend the $10 for a front cover, but if you do then of course the capacitive buttons and fingerprint scanner are left uncovered. The wood isn't thick enough to interfere with usage, thankfully, but it is the thickest and highest quality wood cover I've seen.
I don't have any phones that they make skins for, but I've visited their "factory" in Portland and handled several iPhones and Android phones with their skins attached. They're really nice and high quality, better than similar skins I own for other products.
Take a look at this video for a typical phone installation:
As you can see, nice and easy - just be careful about it, and go slow. It will re-adhere if you mess it up, but the first application is always the strongest by far, and you don't want those edges coming up.
E: I should clarify that you can re-apply in the first 5-10 minutes, but after that the adhesive is 'set' and will not be reusable. It's really strong adhesive, so it isn't going anywhere, but it also does have an oxygen-activated cure.
Skins are a thick sticker and protect as such. They are no replacement for a good case.

Agreed. A skin, even a wooden one, is not a case. They don't offer shatter protection - merely scratch protection. In this case they also make the phone look nicer in my opinion :good:

This exactly. There is a trade off of hardness to toughness. Hardness is what prevents scratching but the harder you make it, the more shatter prone so in essence you lower the toughness

Thor Case will make OnePlus 3 a Beast from the outside

Has anyone tried ordering one of these from Aliexpress? I ordered one already and totally excited about it.
Some youtube videos of the case for other phones are already there. I am sure this sleek Beast and the Metal Thor cover would make a Machine in hand.
I ordered the Black one.
All I can say is These got looks and also can surely protect the phone with such bulk build.
PS: Sorry i cant attach pics here. I am new member in the forum and XDA will allow me to post pics after 10 posts. You can always google the case and tell me what you feel about it.

Yeah, wasn't to happy with the hole for FP scanner. I don't use the scanner and have it disabled, so I went down and bought a package of plastic laminating sheets and cut two oval pieces just bigger than the hole. Put one on front and one on back to cover hole. I work in a cabinet shop and sawdust was constantly getting in, so this solved my issue. I'm not sure, but the FP scanner might still work with it covered like that, not tried it yet to see. Other than that, that Tudia case is great, looks good and offers excellent drop protection. I know first hand, dropped phone from 3 foot up on concrete floor.

thin cover

hi guys, I have a problem to use covers, as I have small hands the normal covers increase the width in the phone, so it is more difficult to use it with one hand, there is a cover with very thin edges that is reliable and compatible with the film whitstone?
I like very much pitaka cover but can't see carbon design, l'm loooking for some similar cover.

Here's mine... I have black and blue versions. Bought many different low cost cases, and some more expensive ones like spiegen for example, but keep coming back to this one as it adds minimum bulk and keeps the original feel of the phone. Plus the stand is magnetic and comes really handy.

I thank you, I know this cover but I'm afraid the edge is not as thin as I want and has a certain thickness of at least 2mm, do you agree? if not how often is it accurate?

hi guys, I have a problem to use covers, as I have small hands the normal covers increase the width in the phone, so it is more difficult to use it with one hand, there is a cover with very thin edges that is reliable and compatible with the film whitstone?
I like very much pitaka cover but can't see carbon design, l'm loooking for some similar cover.

I can totally understand u need...
I have few of them...
Spigen is thin but not thin enough...
The best I found is Samsung thin case... It's the thinned u will get... But very slippery
Baseus makes something very similar.. Nice colors and slippery again...
What I have done now is I have put a clear slickwrap back of device on the cases to make it Less slippery...
Here are some pics if the Baseus case...
I can post links /pics of the other ones when I get home.

thank you very much this cover is very nice, I hope also protective, waiting for the link.
check this out, it's very slim, almost zero bulk

How about original Samsung cover? Not sure how it goes with Whitestone, but I've been using this for about 5 months and there's no going back. Ps. I'ts only 0.95mm thick.

this is a very thin case too
im using it
so far very satisfied
do note if you own the midnight black note 8 and if you order the transparent black, it will not be a fully black case.. the logo will not be visible as how its advertised (but im okay with that. does still look nice)

Lol i didnt measure is it 1 or 2 mm. But spigen thin fit is the best.

Thanks guys, I'm very confused now, it's a very difficult choice considering also that I have the whitstone tempered glass.
I remain of the idea that pitaka is the most serious and the most subtle but also the ugliest with that carbon frame, I do not know, I'm really confused.
