How would I go about painting a rubber case like the one one the otterbox or the zerolemon case? I tried spray paint but it is horrid.

You might try a vinyl dye.

You might want to try plasti dip spray paint. Maybe something like this...

Did you rough it up?
Hit it with some sandpaper or a scotchbrite pad.
No. Don't like the color.

Looks great! Do you know if they are available in black?
Yes they do but haven't looked on amazon for it.

Just bought the barely There regular one. Love it. Have the Otterbox Commuter as well. Does it kill GPS and cell signal like others posted?
I haven't noticed any difference in signal loss.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA
I have the same case but in silver. I did notice my GPS position was off with the case on.
I have this case in gray. After one drop and general wear and tear it started to crack. Plus the brushed aluminum back began to peel off. If you're going for looks though it's a great case.

Is there an inner coating so it doesnt scratch the phone when you put it inside?

No there isn't. It's a glossy plastic finish on the inside.

LOVE this device, but the size makes it awkward to carry in your pocket. So how are you carrying the phone?

I carry it in my pocket with no problem. Im only about 6ft tall 180lbs wear the perfect size pants nothing too skinny or baggy.

Not really. My pocket. It feels like it might slide out when I sat down for the first day or so but it's far from actually doing it and i've already gotten used to it.

I guess ive just had bad luck with mine not staying in my pocket. Ive stooped down a couple times and had it fall out of my pocket. It also falls out when im in the car because of the angle of the seats.

I have a case on mine so it's not very slippery. Is yours in its birthday suit? That could be a big difference.

Military style pants with pockets on the thighs or in a inside jacket/suit pocket. DO NOT PUT IN YOUR BACK POCKET! I had some unexplained reboots whilst in myback pocket.
I use an origial Flip Case. The white one, which is not so white on the inside anymore. It likes dirt.
Quick review of the flip case. It grows on you. At first i thought it was slightly difficult to use, but now after a month the spine is very soft so i just fold it under the back of the phone. This gives added traction as well. The only problem I have really is no big deal and that is that you need to learn to hold it in a different way when you take pictures.
One last thing. If anyone knows or has contact with a case designer I would like one that combines a bumper case with a flip case.
In my purse!

I have a Active Seidio case and holster. I got the gloss white case and its kinda slippery. Not sure if the black one is rubberized as it was for the thunderbolt. The edges are rubber so it's not too bad. However if the black one is rubberized I would go for that one. As far as carrying it the holster is awesome! I'm 6' 150lbs. I do carry it in my pocket when I'm wearing sweats and it's not bad at all. .. I wouldn't know anything about carrying it in skinny jeans as I don't own any.

I've got a slim case on mine and I carry it around in my pocket without any problems.
In my pocket. I don't notice it any more than I noticed my GNex in there. Carried it around last night and today in both jeans and dress pants for work, no problem. I'm not a tall/big guy and I don't wear really baggy pants either. The only way I could see this being uncomfortable is if all you wear are skinny jeans.
anyone have the incipio feather case? looking at getting this and just seeing if anyone has any complaints on it?
I have the Incipio feather shine in black. Its by far my favorite case that Ive bought so far for this phone. The fit is great as are the look and feel. Its not as slippery as my Ringke Slim case was either. I would recommend it.

How badly does this case attract lint? I see a lot of dual layer cases and stay away from them for this reason; they all seem to use super soft silicon that is a lint magnet. I am pretty picky too, I hate taking it out of my pocket and having it lined with lint.

I don't know about the feather, but I have the dual shine from incipio and it is horribly designed. I can't recommend it.
I have the body glove case from sprint. this is the best case by far, textured, matte back, so I'm not going to drop it. I had the flip case, but that was too much for me. I Also had a silicone case from Amazon, but that was too glossy and it was a fingerprint magnet.

So I was a little bored tonight. So I figure I would give my outterbox a new look..
1.Auto zone has the paint. With all kinds of color. $7.49 a can
2.Masking tape for the screen cover.
3. A well vented area.
4. Spray away and let it sit for 24hrs.
5. Might have to spray it 3-4 times to get a nice coat on it..
Now your phone looks sexy..

Been thinking of doing this with red. Already modded my Otter to fit the Mugen extended battery so this could be the final touch. Nice job, looks good. As for masking the screen cover though...won't need to do that, I popped it out first thing.
Wish i could paint the ugly great outside cover. Is there a way?

I've seen people on YouTube putting it in a dye. But I don't know exactly how to do it, you could Google search it.

Found this page on how to paint the ru:er part. http://frugalcouponqueens.com/3-otterbox-makeover/ I might just pick one up and try this to make a red rubber and black plastic one.
Or just buy a seidio active case =P they come in nice colors already, love mine

For $9 I doubt it's real carbon fiber
Yeah that's what I figured as well. The seller page doesn't say anything. Probably some type of 3m vinyl overlay.

That's why I took a risk on this case. Maintains oem feel with slightly more protection.

I just got mine in the mail as well. It was cheap and looks pretty good. I like the feel of the stock cover better, but it's nice to have an extra laying around. It's not real carbon fiber. Just a vinyl sticker on plastic as expected for $8.

I also got one, have had it for a little over a week. feels great, I personally prefer it over the stock battery cover, and it looks slick.
sorry for the picture quality, just realized my ipad air doesn't have a flash for pictures (dumb)
Looks great, i think i have to buy one too.
Anyone use this with a bumper of any sort? If so, how's the fit?

I also ordered this and receive it about a week ago. Look and feel great. Only drawback is its thickness. It sets flush with the camera where the Oem back set below. None of my tpu cases fit with back on.

A bumper is probably the only case that will work with it if its thicker than the stock cover. In another thread someone said they use the poetic borderline bumper(or maybe it was the bear motion bumper) with the Samsung wireless charging cover.
