I'm new here and registered to show how good this thing looks (in my opinion) with a carbon skin. I did the same for my iPad before I sold it. I uploaded the pictures to my User account photo album so I assume I just link them now.

Did the pictures link properly because I'm not seeing them.
Looks good. Can share with others here where you got the skin from? And is it really carbon fiber or just the design?

Nope, didn't link properly. I don't think you can link pictures on xda until you've posted a certain amount of times
I purchased it from Skinomi. I like how the skin gave the white "bumpers" a darker look.
Really wish the pictures linked

I got the same thing from Skinomi and I like it. I only added the one back panel.
That does look nice.

Nice! Had a similar one from PhantomSkinz when I had my Captivate. Love the carbon look.
I have the same skin. I'm afraid the corners may start to peel back... Not faulting Skinomi, since it would be a problem with any cut to fit skin.
Just trying to think of ways to prevent it. Maybe a bead of nail-polish or super glue on the edges to smooth and reduce from catching... also prevent particles from getting under the edges.
I used a heat shrink gun for the edges and it pretty much gave it a very clean, secure adhesion to the tablet. I would think a hair blow dryer would do the same.
Did the same with a heat gun while wrapped in packing stretch wrap... But still feel as though it may get caught... Oh well, they sent me two by mistake or it may be there policy.

Yes, you really have to use a heat gun or blow dryer for best results ...I used a blow dryer.
I really want to get this skin combo but I wish they would cut out a section around the htc lettering like they do for the ipad skins.
I might just get it and do the cutting myself but I would prefer not to.
OP, thanks for bringing this to my attention.
Yes. I would have liked to see the HTC logo cut-out also. Overall its a nice cut.
Just installed yesterday. The pics are a bit lousy because the lighting here at work is crap and I can't just leave right now. I thought it would be nice to see the htc logo but after installing it I think it looks good as is.
It has a great textured feel to it and it adds a bit of grip to the view. I didn't install the sides because they just didn't line up right; I had to cut the skin for the top bumper because it would have prevented me from removing the cover if I need to get to my micro sdcard.
The screen protector that came with it is nice and doesn't have that rubbery feel that zagg's have. It doesn't affect the display at all unless you install it and leave many microbubbles and streaks behind.
Overall I give it 3.5 out of 5. The reason I rated it like this is because the original design prevents access to the micro sdcard without having to destroy the skin. Another reason is that the cutouts don't line up that great on the view. The edges that stick to the curves of the view seem to have been cut short and leave a bit of a gap between the skin edge and the edge it is supposed to wrap around.
Other than that, it's still not a bad price (29.95 I think I paid) for a full body-skin and screen protector. A heat gun or blow-dryer is a must use item when installing this skin. It makes the skin soft enough to be able to stretch it just bit if you need it to which is what I did in some areas to get the edges to line up correctly.
Nice skin but I agree it's a pain to cut the skin to be able to remove the sd card cover. And the corners we difficult to stay in place without putting a lot of heat to it. 3 stars for me.

Really nice

I agree about the cutting of the cover portion. A razor did it fairly easily. The back portion of the skin is great. The rest is just meh. I must say though, that this company does stand behind their product. I wrote them after my install about the cover portion that came off when I tried to change out my micro sd card. He shipped me a whole new skin, screen protector and all. It was in my mailbox two days later. This is very rare these days. For that I give it four stars. I had a problem with a full body suit from body guards and still have not received my exchang from them, and that was weeks ago. The screen protector on this setup is one of the clearest I've used but it is a little grippy and feels unresponsive at times. Although, the finger prints are way less than when I had nothing at all.
I just wanted to let everyone know that the Skinomi carbon fiber skin and the Armor Suit carbon skin are the exact same thing. I just received my Armor suit today and was surprised when it was the exact thing. So if you're shopping for one you can get the cheaper of the two. Service wise the shipping was about the same, but Skinomi was on the ball with a replacement that same day. My Armor skin was originally for my Sammy 10.1 and I exchanged it for the flyer which took a month and me calling a few times to get it. I will say that they were very nice people and very understanding.
Here is mine

Hey all,
I am in touch with the people at xoskins.com for a screen skin for the g tablet. I have sent dimensions and photos and they are in progress on the design. This would not be a dry application protector that has air bubbles and peels up around the edges. Their protectors go on extremely well. I have put them on several devices with a lot of success. One has been on my phone for a year and it still is all the way down around the edges.
When I get mine, I can post some shots of it. Hopefully we can generate some interest so they can make more.
How much did you pay ?
Nothing yet, but I am guessing it will be $20. I also just saw the skinomi one for $15 shipped in the US. They look to be pretty much identical. The packaging and spray are almost the same as the xoskins I have gotten before (just different graphics).
This screen protector skin is now available on xoskins.com for $18 using the code tabletprotector20. as soon as mine comes in i can post some pictures. like i said before, these have worked great for me in the past on othe devices. btw, I'm not getting kickbacks or anyhing, just spreadin the word.

I think they are the same. I forgot to order the xo skin after I got the email the design was done. Anyway, ordered it now. Will update when it arrives and I can compare to my skinomi.
Just wanted to update that I got my xoskin. It is very much like the skinomi tech skin. I can hardly tell the difference. To me, I like the xoskin a bit better, I like the screen feel of it a bit better. Also, you can still get it for $20 shipped with the code from above.

Which is 30% more than the skinomi , not sure if the difference in the texture would warrant the difference in price.
That said, its good to know there are other comparable alternatives there (once skinomi jacks up the price again or terminate their coupon).

Screen Protector-Don't buy the military grade
I purchased some of these "military" grade screen protectors for the Evo 4g, but they really sucked to put on. So I searched on Amazon and ordered a matte one made by Aurum.
It's made from Japanese PET, which "supposedly" is the best, Got it a few days ago and it fit perfectly, more importantly there is no loss in sensation or sliding ability as it says. So I am happy, now I need a TPU case for it.

I see this is the same picture posted on amazon. How does it fit ? I can't see any cutting for the camera/sensors, do it cover the touch area or the whole bezel ?
Thanks,
No cutout for the camera/sensor, I put on the matte and it makes no difference that I can see. The Aurum screen protector on Amazon covers the ENTIRE bezel, so all the glass is covered (has the rounded edges for a tight tight fit). I attached a photo, don't judge me by my poor installation . All I care about is the smooth scrolling, and this achieves it, in my opinion.
I just saw they have a free shipping deal when you buy two.
Interested in drag component...
of the aforementioned protectors. The XOskin, Aurum, and Skinomi. Almost set to get a skinomi, but one complaint by some people is finger drag. How about the protectors the 2 of you have got? I'd almost forgo a protector if it's not going to give me a smooth surface. Thanks..
at least the XOskin HAVE the holes for the camera ans led flash and Aurum and Skinomi doesn't.

I was unaware that there was a flash for the G-Tablet, could you let me know where that might be .
As for the question above I can attest to the Aurum screen protector having very little finger drag(thats why I like it) and as to not having camera holes, well the 1.3 megapixel camera is not exactly great(I never use it). I use mine to browse the web, so finger drag is my main concern.
Aurum has a crystal clear one I think.....this will solve any camera issues. The link is below

Can you post a pic of the xo skins fit? Is it good? I have used their skins before and they are by far the best. Just wanna make sure it will fit right.
I got the xo skins gtab screen protector There are cutouts for the camera and light sensor.. The install took me two minutes. Steamed up my bathroom after reading some install reviews to drop the dust out of the air. Ill post a full review on here in a bit.
New Protector with Stylus
I have purchased another screen protector for my G-Tab, this time the camera cutout was present, as before it was simple to apply, peel and stick type of application. I chose to go with the clear one this time, because I began to use a stylus with my tablets which I LOVE. The protector is simply a safety measure to prevent any accidental scratches.
I just got this in today and snapped a few pictures for your guys

you beat me to this, i thought i would be the first to share it but i didn't end up getting it as hoped yesterday.
Mine was supposed to come yesterday, a package came and I opened the package and inside was someone else's order.
Skinomi swiftly sent me another one and it should be with me by Saturday. Ill share my pics as well once i get mine on.
do you like it?
the one thing i noticed from your pictures though that disturbs me, does it cover up the 2 speakerphone mics on the back????

There was a small cut-out I missed! Thanks to your post I got it
I could be wrong but I don't think those are speaker phone mics. When I took the training for this phone (i work for sprint) it advised those where mics for noise canceling.
Very nice!
I just placed an order for more of the 3M material yesterday. If you're feeling adventurous and want to DIY, follow my tutorial below like I did with my Evo last year:
http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-tips-tricks/86984-carbon-fiber-back-mod-tutorial.html
Got my carbon fiber skinomi, i applied the carbin fiber part fine, it looks great and ill be sure to share pictures later. it feels a bit funny to hold but overall it no big deal i can get used to it and feel like it offers the protection i need without some big bulky case.
unfortunately putting a new skinomi screen protector didnt go so well. i used a brand new cloth but still i managed to get even more lint under the skin, ill keep it on for now but im just going to get a traditional screen protector later on, i hate these liquid install ones.
I am using an Otterbox Defender, which is absolutely perfect for me - protects the entire phone, including screen, from bumps, scratches and drops.
Just curious why you folks opted for something (a carbon fiber skin) that apparently only protect the phone from scratches. I might be wrong but regardless it being carbon fiber overall looks really thin and compared to the $30 I paid for the Otterbox, how much protection does this carbon fiber skin provide?

It's really just for aesthetics. And it's not true Carbon Fiber... but a 3M adhesive material that is styled that way.
http://www.carbonfiberfilm.com/
all i need to do is protect the phone from scratches, the phone itself without a case is pretty sturdy compared to the EVO4G. I am not saying go ahead and drop the phone but i have much more faith in this phone. i love the carbon fiber look too.
btw i ripped off the skinomi screen protection, i just hate these damn liquid-install screen protectors, ill just use a traditional one.
i put my carbon fiber skin on today and was not happy with it. the side skins do not pull down enough to meet and join together at the top and bottom. I covered my evo with the 3M with just an hours time and steady hand. i feel i could do a better job then this carbon skin kit for the photon. so im peeling mine off and got some 3M carbon fiber adhesive ill use. :/ kinda upset they did not get the cut outs well enough to wrap all the way around. and the liquid screen thing drives me up the wall. i took it off. rather put the gorilla glass to use then not have a clear screen.
sinomi is sending me another kit bc i complained. ill see if its any different. i doubt
Okay this is my first review so bare with me on this one. I purchased the HTC case specifically designed for the Rezound. Overall makes the Rezound a bit beefier feeling, but still forms the Rezound curvature. I would guess it expands the width about 1/8" and same with bottom. But none added to the height, this is where the case starts failing. The case was very easy to install by just simply snap it on. Fits very snug and hugs the contours of the phone around the headphone jack and buttons. It is composed plastic and a synthetic fiber material. The plastic case on the exterior has a smooth rubbery texture around the perimeter of the device. Inside on the rear of the cover is a stitched applied "grip" from said fiber. I'm not good with material but seems to be like some form of a polyester. Overall, a fair case until we start talking about protection. Included is pictures with brief description. Now for the bad, it is definitely not an Otterbox. With the case attached, all four corners are unprotected and susceptible to damage. The case itself stops short right at the top and bottom giving you minor protection on these two sides. The other two sides (left and right) are covered, but still have issues. The case does not come up even or higher than the elevation of the screen. The screen/bezel sticks up just a tad, but still not good. If the phone were to be dropped perfectly parallel with the ground screen side down, this phone wouldn't have a fighting chance with this case on. If no screen protector was applied, just sliding it around face down could cause unnecessary scratches. Now back to the back part of the case. The stitched "grip" has a couple flaws in itself. I barely took my fingernail over this material, and I could see the material ripping apart. Think about his sliding in and out of your pocket. Also, the stitched part is held down with some epoxy that doesn't seem to hold very well. Around the camera cover, the material was coming up just rubbing my finger over it. Not even trying to dig into it, just merely rubbing my finger over it. Overall this phone fails in a great portion of protection, and construction. The good is it still maintains the original feel of the Rezound.

This is the full rear shot the back. Just shows kinda the make up and construction of the case.
Just a quick picture of the HTC logo on the back of the case in closer detail.
Rear showing of the case around the speaker.
The camera area where I found the "grip" to seem loose from attachment.
This is the bottom side of the device, as show the whole bottom is exposed to potential damage.
A shot of the device and case from side. Kind of hard to tell, but the screen bezel sticks up higher than the actual case.
And this is a shot of the corner, and the exposure it has.
Pictures taken by my trusty Droid Incredible.

yeah thats why im returning it. I saw that happen to my Original EVO...not pretty. But no where on the web that carrys that case show the inside of the case. Not that most to LOL, But.......ahh well
Just got two of these after seeing that the guy that makes (designs them) them actually is on XDA a lot and was very helpful while NOT hocking his product everywhere.
*UPDATED*
Originally the case covered part of the upper mic. I just removed the upper portion of the case and realigned it so the mic was centered when I re-attached that case. To easy. That was really the only draw back I had.
Pro's
1- Delivery was fast
2- Case was cheap (9$)
3- Shipping was (5$ for both)
4- Case is VERY low profile
5- Mat Black is oh so smooth and the front rim is a nice glossy black with more grip to it. This is nice as it makes it easy to hang on to.
6- Back design icon is cool looking
7- Kick stand still easy to access
8- Nice port access
9- Doesn't pull my Zagg Invishield HD screen cover off
10- Easy to get on and off
11- Doesn't scratch my phones finish
12- VERY light weight
13- Mat black with red highlights of the phone looks very sexy and pro
14- phone still fits in my pocket easily and doesn't collect dust etc.
15- Snug fit on the phone
16- Bezel is high enough on the front that my phone screen doesn't touch anything when laid on its face.
17- Camera is protected by slight bezel around it.
18- No "case buttons"...you still access the phones buttons which are nice
Con's
1- Power button is a little hard to depress initially but this is because the button is so high on the phones profile. Case flexes to alleviate this after a few uses though. I don't think this is the cases fault
2- Not many styles - My wife liked the Green Cruizer Lite better but not that much better. The android pattern on those cases looked cool but I don't know...after a while I do like the professional and sleek design of the Diztronic better. Plus the Cruizer Lite *looked* a little more bulky
mind attaching a pic?
shipping is only 2.50 on his ebay page.
good review
wish it came with a screen protector (thought it did bc it did with other phones, but it didnt).
note: you can readjust the case starting from the top of the phone to align the mic you said was covered. i noticed it blocked mine after reading your review so i took it off and readjusted the case and it doesnt cover it anymore
Mine doesn't block the upper microphone at all?
Neither does mine. Every port lines up perfect, just like on my RAZR Maxx and EpTouch cases.

Yeah I didn't even have to take the whole thing off...fix and looking perfectly.
*Updated Review*
Got mine in today and it fits nicely and looks good, I just have one main complaint about it....should of covered the buttons...after holding it in hand those holes in the case on the sides get annoying to me, and the thin strip where the volume rocker is, is so flimsy im almost scared it might stretch too much over time, or break...havent had a TPU case with buttons covered that the function was more difficult than the phone without the case on, so dont really see the reasoning why to leave them open now...
to each their own though i guess...
I received my cases as well today. Originally I liked the high gloss translucent one best because it just looks really sharp. After just a couple of hours though, it was covered in smudges and fingerprints(like anything glossy).
The fit on both of the cases I received are spot on. Snug fit, all my buttons/openings line up perfectly, and doesn't add much bulk. Simply great cases for the cost.
I will be sticking with the matte black one for the foreseeable future based on just the smudge factor.
Got to tell you - after listening to so many recommendations from the group here I decided to get the case and boy, I am so glad I did.
The case is snug with minimal footprint, all cut outs match perfectly (prefer this from covered) and the flat black matte just compliments the Evo. The kickstand is also easily accessible and it got here ahead of schedule..
Two thumbs up!
Got my case today as well. Now only if I had the phone to put it in....

Yeah case looks good overall, though I wish they had a version that covered the buttons and port so that the phone would be more water resistant (read: not waterproof, but at least ports/button holes would be protected from drippy hands at the least). Also, as people mentioned, it would be easier to precisely hit the various buttons if they weren't beneath the lip of the case.
I did not liked a lot the shinny cover so I Carbon Fiber it !!! Check this out

Easy!!! here is an old tutorial back when I did my Old EVO
Is done with a sheet of Carbon fiber wrap used on cars
If you dont have the Cardon sheet PM and we can work something out !I have plenty!!
Firts. I detach the backcase
Second, peel off the carbon fiber wrap and stick it to the clean surface of the back of your phone.
Third, Grab your wifes / girlfriend or mother blowdryer and just mold the edges. ( Common sense, when you appy the heat the wraper will mold to any shape or corner. No need to over over heat )
Then trim to shape, with blade / exacto knife.
Then your ready!!
Dinoc ftw!

You know they make a $15 kit that does the same thing, right?

I like the metal/wood ones

Looks like the 3x3 sample swatches would cover the top piece for $.99 !! (assuming it doesnt shrink too much)
It says, "They offer samples on all vinyl" but I could only find so many.
If someone wants to stick a ruler up to and check Brushed aluminum is nice!
Residue?

I was wondering what is left behind on the plastic cover should you choose to remove the carbon wrap? Does it leave a sticky residue which I guess Goo Gone could remove easily?
I was wondering same about 'undoing'. As for goo gone, hopefully you don't mean something like goof off, which is lacquer based and would essentially melt the plastic cover.
Edit: yeah, that bushed aluminum looks sweet! I, personally, think a lot of them look too shiny/glossy.
Now, if only Wallet worked, I'd order it lol

Goo Gone not Goof Off
Never used Goof Off, but the product Goo Gone is good at removing any sticky residue left from price tags or stickers on products. I don't think it would harm the plastic, and it probably isn't lacquer based.
Is the carbon fiber very smooth or does it have some texture / grip feel to it?

That looks cool. I would want something like this but not so industrial looking. Any other links besides the ones already mentioned. Perhaps a 12" x 12" sheet for <$10.

No, if you remove it it will not leave any glue or sticky stuff.
Actually, where do you get your carbon fiber from? I'm sure I could use plenty of that on phones, automotive, audio, and everything else I own.
A lot of companies will you send you a free sample of Di-Noc. That's where I got mine (to do my OG 4G).
If this is actually removable (so I don't need another top cover for returns), I'm so doing this, just gonna make sure to carve out the camera hole so I can see the red.
Just did the same thing, the back hole including the red ring is approx. 1.2mm in diameter, and I just found something around that size and cut a hole around it, then stabbed the xacto into the cutting pad and slid the piece around it like a jigsaw to finish off the circle. The total job took around an hour for perfect cuts of all the circles aside from the camera due to me being a bit of a newbie and a bit blind.
Someone said that they make a 15 dollar thing that does the same, but looking at the skinomi carbon reviews, it looks like around the corners they use relief cuts in order to make it around the corners. Using di-noc or a similiar thin vinyl wrap, you can heat it up around the corners and get it to stretch slightly and actually wrap instead of just leaving some parts slightly uncovered to make it work. In my experience also with other products that do this to corners, those sections peel off after awhile because they get caught on your pockets while you slide the device in and out.
Second time working with Di-noc, my vision is a little blurry right now from all the focusing up close, so i'm going to take a break from the monitor, but before I go, one VERY important tip to anyone that is going to try this: use a new blade on the xacto, the sharper and pointier it is the easier time you will have with all the details, i ended up using just the very tip to cut out most of the details.
