Does anyone have the Phantom Skinz Chromatics skin? Im looking at buying the carbon fibre skin but I havnt seen anyone with one.
Can you please post up what you think of it, any photos, and how hard it was to install?
Thanks a lot.

I have had Zagg screen covers before, I have a Zagg screen cover on my 3D. I honestly hate it. Its so tacky and my finger dosnt slide on it at all compared to the screen itself. Unfortunately my wife paid $30 to get it installed on my phone as a surprise so I am going to keep it for now. I had bad experiences with Zagg on my milestone so I am going to stay away. Thus the titel "PhantomSkinz"

Zagg has the absolute First feel of any screen protector!!! If that was the only one available, i wouldn't use one. With that said though, Zagg is freaking impossible to scratch. Guess it's a trade-off, but not for me. I am using a Otterbox that came with one of my cases and the feel is great, just like touching the screen. But... it is finally showing signs of light scratching on it after a month of use. I may try the phantom skinz myself

Just gonna have to break down an tell her bro. I know is tough because you don't want to hurt her feelings. So try to come up with a clever excuse. Or just tell her there is this new company that everyone is using and loves and that you don't want to feel left out, lol.
Oh, and surprise her with some flowers right before telling her about it
Or.... if she doesn't really know anything about it, then just swap them out in the bathroom after showering one night an she'll never know. 6 months from now you can tell her how great it is and thank her again for buying it for you. Lol

been thinking about getting one but, its either that or hd zagg shield. i'm still undecided
Im the same way my frirnd got the zagg hd in his sg3 and had ut replaced 5 times at best buy it always gets bubbled and ugly so i dunno what to do
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
I bought this and it was terrible. After applying it I had a lot of indents. I thought maybe I just got a bad one, luckily they send you a pack of two. So I applied the second one and the same thing occurred. I had the Zagg on my One X and it looks a lot better. I really thought the SGP would be a quality protector that was going to be invisible but it's definetly not worth the price.
Some software problems, drops with broken screens. Was planning on getting the DNA on my upgrade in a couple months. My TB will be antique, 2 years old in April and I have a zag screen cover Sence day one and only a silicone cover with the back cut out for extended battery. Have dropped it more times than I can remember. No dents, chips or broken screen. So the DNA is really that fragile? Some problems I expected hopefully less than TB, but broken screens that easy with gorilla glass is starting to scare me. Should I really be concerned about this or is the DNAs performance that good to overlook the easy screen breaks. Some advice please. Thanks.

The screen doesn't break easily, but its glass. Its harder to break than the tb. But A lot of people run their DNA with no case, and if you drop it and the glass hits something solid there's a good chancecof it breaking.

I don't know how many DNA's have been sold, but my guess is quite a few. You saw literally a few post about people who DROPPED their phone most likely without any kind of case, and that's enough you persuade you? This is one of, if not the best phone money can buy right now, you wont regret buying it.
Dropped 20+ times with screen protector and stepped on minor scratches only .. now if u face palm a phone from getting out the car etc most will take a ding or even crack. The DNA to me was togher than I thought it would screen included ..

Pretty much this.
This is a great phone, arguably the best device on the market right now. Get a protector, that way you can drop your device at leisure.
Just wait a few months until the new line of phones come out... This is the best phone out now..

I would guess the DNA is only marginally more vulnerable than the TB. The glass on the DNA covers all the front and a little of the sides. That means if you drop it on the side it could crack, unlike the TB.
If you drop both flat on the glass screen then probably both shatter equally.
They need to come out with those flexible screens soon!

My DNA has lived through:
1. Being dropped flat on the screen from a standing height
2. Sitting in the passenger seat with no cover/holder/case during a car crash that totaled my car
3. Being dropped in the parking lot from me forgetting it was in my lap when I got out of the car
The first 2 had literally no effect on it; the 3rd case a scratch on the side.. but the screen is still perfectly fine. So.. call me lucky, but I'm pretty impressed with the DNA's durability.
Exactly why I went with the DNA. This phone has display technology that other companies are scrambling to replicate with their respective display manufacturers. Soon there will be tons of apps and game that will require 1080p resolution to run properly.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. After having a TB I don't believe newer HTC products could handle the bad rap and still leave HTC in the competition. I am impressed with all the comments on the 1080 screen and to run JB out of the box has to be worth it, as my Moto Zoom wifi has been running JB for a while, and I love it. I'm glad to know that I don't have to bubble wrap it now. I'm not crazy about full cover cases but will definitely find something to protect the edges of the glass. I'm sure there may be something out soon that will help. Everyone seems impressed with how it runs, looks and fits to hold. PS I played with the Samsung s3 in the Verizon store felt like a cheap plastic toy that would break if held to tight. Lol wasn't impressed left with my clunky heavy extended battery TB. Will be spoiled to not have a phone with an extended battery along with carrying the charger to. Lol. Thanks again for the good feedback. Will be hard to wait for my tax refund

I have had my DNA for about 3 weeks now and love it. Got the Ballistic SG MAXX case for it.

Yes. Yes it is.
Only dropped it twice from knee height. But it was in an OB case due to the type of job I have... And the tendency of dropping my phone often.
Side note (somewhat off topic) - dropped my DX quite literally over 100 times with no screen protector or case, only came out with little knicks all around the metal and no screen dmg. Amazing

If your coming to a forum to here positive things your a goofy person.
If I made s thread that said HTC DNA is horrible that thread would see 1million post.
If i made a thread that said HTC DNA is the greatest ever that thread would maybe get 10-15 post.

Went and bought one and not sure if I like it. Im super picky about cases on my phone, to be honest I really dont like em, or screen protectors. I love the look and feel of the bare screen. Thinking about taking off the front built in screen protector from the otterbox. Has anyone done this or have suggestions for me about em. Its the first one ive ever bought.

You can just push it out. Keep in mind the screen protector helps keep the plastic part rigid so it may feel wobbly afterwards. Many people do pop it out though, I learn to live with it.

Its so damn dusty inbetween the screen and protector and makes the screen look washed out bad....im a picky bastard I know
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
Na I hate it too. Actually took the case off tonight. Screen protector just kills it for me. If it stayed flush on the screen I would love the defender case
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
I have taken it off of all of my otterbox defenders on all my different phones, around 6 in the past 3 years, and I have never really had an issue. One thing I would reccomend is is you want to keep the glue that holds the screen protector on, just in case you ever want to put it back on, you should put it in the freezer. It makes it peel off without taking the glue with it. If you dont ever want it back on then pop it off and get some rubbing alcohol and a toothpick to get the glue that will still be stuck off.
On another note, if you end up not liking the defender you might wanna check out the Urban Armor Gear case for the Note 2. I just got mine a couple weeks ago and its really nice and has protected my phone quite well.

I have always loved Otterboxes until my S3's. The On/Off button was fine before putting on the Otterbox but after it was put on the power button would barely depress and when it did you had to press so hard that the screen would flex. When I tried to take it back and exchange it since it was defective, or so I thought, and found out that that is the way it was meant to fit. .... Needless to say I was very unhappy, when I contacted Otterbox to see if there was anything I could do about it they pretty much told me to f off....
I tried the defender for the Note 2 and the problem didn't seem to be there on the Note 2's casebut after all that it made me never want to deal with them again. I still miss my commuter and defender cases. Maybe when they go on sale I will get one...
Anyway, I am happy that you like it better with the built in screen protector gone
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Premium HD app
if you don't want the screen protector built in with the defender, why not return it and get the commuter?
I picked one up from newegg for around 30$ and love it.
I am loving the commuter, it comes with optional film, ive dropped my phone many times with no issues. The defender was just too bulky, and stuck to pockets with all the exposed rubber material. I also sport an x-gear voyager 2, had one on my s3, and my GN2 with no proximity issues or loss of screen/pen sensitivity.
P.S. voyager is available on ebay for cheaper direct from xgear. (Free shipping and home buttons)
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Premium HD app
I did that with the one I had for the s3. It does feel a little floppy without it on the phone but as soon as you put it on it feels the same. The way I did mine was ro pit ot in the freezer for an hour and let the glue harden. Then it will literally just push right out.

If you had to choose between the Otterbox defender and the seidio active, what would you choose and why? I am looking for a toughish case and it is between these two. I have experience with Otterbox on my old iPhone but have never used seidio stuff before. Have at it.

I don't like the looks (or price) of either.
I bought a "cheap" case of ebay. This one

I know this thread's about two other cases, but since this recommendation was tossed into the mix I want to share that I just today gave away one of these Ballistic cases. It was "okay", but not great. I didn't like that the hard plastic surround shell didn't wrap around the top and bottom at all, so when putting the phone into (or pulling it out of) my pocket the silicone would peel back. To each their own...
Try the BodyGlove
Check the Body Glove case, it gives a nice solid feel and good grip. I really like how it makes the buttons press, very smooth and solid clicks on the power and volume buttons.
