Just wondering if anyone bought or used their products before, and what is your opinion??

God, another sticker...nope I've never put a giant sticker around my phone
I came across them at CES a couple years back and got one for my Galaxy S3. The product itself is really good imo. The only thing I had issues with was for the S3 it didn't wrap all the way around like the Iphone and now G3 models they have. After a few months because of that the edges started peeling up from in and out of the pocket and so forth. Because that is my only experience with them I cant say if the full wrap around is any better. If you do get it be prepared to be precise when putting it on. Once its on its really on! I barely touched it to my backing and was off a little and it wouldn't budge.

That's not a vinyl skin its real wood. Also skins are not stickers there is a difference. The skins are usually made with 3m vinyl the same material that people use to wrap their cars to get a matte look to them. Its also great for protecting your phone from scratches.
Back on top now those cases look nice, has anyone purchased on for their G3 yet? I'm interested in a review once someone does because those look really nice.
It's a wood sticker.....we can argue linguistics all day. If I came at op to harsh I apologize. I'm just not a fan of skins
It's is a sticker, but real wood. To each his own. I love mine. Had one on my g2 and m8 as well. They're a great company and quality product.

Is the back cover removable to replace SD card or battery once its on??
Is it possible to put the sticker on top of a tempered glass protector? I don't relly want my temper glass to go to waste.

I was considering one of these and I asked them via Twitter. They said it's not really designed to go over a tempered glass screen protector. However, the front pieces are an optional extra, so you could just skip them and only cover the back and sides.
I was mistaken, I always refer to vinyl and or anything that's not cheaply made as a skin not a sticker. Thank you for the correction about that.
How is the quality/durability of the toast wood "case"? Can you still remove the back?

According to their twitter feed, they designed it so that the backplate could still be removed.

As would I. Because I have a tempered glass screen protector I wouldn't be purchasing the optional front pieces. I'm curious as to how the white front will look with a wood back.

I also like to buy this case, and looking forward to apply a tempered glass screen protector to my phone. Did anyone managed to apply the optional front pieces over a tempered glass with success ?

What would be the difference between applying it to the glass rather than the tempered glass protector? Seems like it would work just fine...

Hey guys, just received my skinomi tablet skin and screen protector today. I've only see pics of the carbon fiber one posted on this forum so I decided to share pics of the brushed steel one. I only have the backplate skin pictures since the screen protector looks horrendous right now (bubbles and stuff, which takes a couple days to form a proper seal).
Pics with keyboard dock in page 3.
Does anyone else see the irony in covering a spun steel look with a brushed steel look?

That's the point Sir. I like the steel look on the prime, but I don't want the stock steel backplate to get scratched.
So besides your irrelevant question, what do you think?

I have been strongly considering getting the Skinomi clear skin for this very reason. I love the color of my Amethyst Grey tablet, but the spun steel collects fingerprints like crazy.
Do you have the dock? If you have, how does the skin fit with it?

Yea I was debating that, but I don't regret my choice. The brushed steel gives it a unique look, while at the same time keeping the professional stock look of the tablet.
I ordered the keyboard dock through BB but it hasn't arrived yet. I will update you whenever it does
I have never used a skin to cover a backplate or skinomi for that matter.
What is the process for removing this thing? Does it end up ruining the backplate with sticky goo if you try to removed it?
thanks for the help.

I am pretty sure that Skinomi's DryTech skins come off cleanly with no residue. I have used similar skins from other retailers (DecalGirl) and they all came off very cleanly.
Here is a video review of the Carbon Fiber style skin being used on a Macbook, and the reviewer demonstrates that is comes over very cleanly.

I wouldn't say it was irrelevant, but you're entitled to your opinion.
I think that the look of anything but the clear skin just makes the back look tacky. Not so much because of the skin choice, but because the cuts are not 100% accurate. I just can't bring myself to get one because of this.

I want the carbon fiber skin but I'm hesitant because I've seen pictures where it looks almost perfect and others where it looks like crap. I definitely want a skin just not sure if I should get clear or carbon fiber.
I've used a skinomi on my phone before and it really is very strong in terms of protection.
However, since they are not permanent they eventually peel off, depending on how you handle the thing, of course. Constantly moving my phone in and out of my pocket inevitably led it to catch a thread and begin the peeling process.
With a tablet it may be different. I have a netbook bag I use (my wife calls it my man purse ) so it may still face the same dangers of getting caught on my bag fabric and peel off...
As far as the dock, the tablet is pretty snug in it, so I also wonder if the skinomi is thin enough to not bend the connector too much out of place.
The screen protector is top notch though. Took about a week for the bubbles to go away, but it's so nice.
Isn't it gorilla glass? I would never put a screen protector in it, unless fingerprints are much of a concern (SOME protectors do help with that).
However, I really would like to find a quality clear skin for the back. Does the dock have rubber feet? If not, I can see it will get scratched, badly.

That is why I made sure it was a clear screen protector. I got it because the product comes with the screen protector and backplate protector. I didn't like how my fingers dragged on the stock screen and how it attracted so much finger prints. I'm loving the screen protector because it eliminates that and feels very smooth. Also, it doesn't change the screen quality one bit . If you get one of those matte finish anti-glare screen protectors then that would be different..

I've read several posts about tempered glass screen protectors but haven't found a review of this product. It's more expensive than others but I like that it's colored and seems to cover the entire front of the phone. I've seen one other colored protector but doesn't appear to cover as much. This would serve two purposes for me. I'd like to protect my phone while also changing the color. I hate to spend top dollar on a phone accessory without any real world reviews.

This doesn't look like a good investment based on your reasoning for buying, I bought a Spigen tempered glass protector, but had I done more research I would have definitely saved myself some money on a cheaper product. Glass is glass, there is no such thing as super scratch resistant glass. If you want to change the color of the device buy a wrap AND a glass protector for less money, combined than this product. IMO, not a good but, but make your own determination.

So, let me get this straight...
"Sir Lancelot's" protector? Absolutely NO reviews on their own website? OR on Amazon's site, yet ONLY 16 are left? Rush, rush, i say, they may run out. After all, getting a no-name brand, Oh, no, sorry, Sir Lancelot's brand, what could possibly go wrong?
Yeah, go on, plunk down almost $40. Let us know what you think. I think it's an AWESOME idea.
<yes, all of that was sarcasm>
It's colored because that's where the adhesive is located. No bubbles because the middle section doesn't even adhere to the screen itself. Do yourself a favor and pay $7 for a real tempered glass protector. Heck, buy 4 or 5 for the price of one of those just so you have some lying around if you want.
Thanks for the feedback. I know there are several reasonably priced clear protectors but I was hoping to try out a white one. I've always had black phones and wanted to try something different by going with a white cover. I don't want to buy a product without any hands on reviews. It's odd there are no reviews of the Holy Grail or Znitro protectors.
All these test they do on TG are BS, why don't they just rub some sand on it, i'm sure scratches will turn up.

What I discovered with my GS3 and then carried over to my Note 2' then 3, is I'd rather just order a black phone and just buy replacement backs of the other color. I realized I didn't like the look of the white bezel around a black screen on the white phone. If I ordered a black phone and just got a white back, it would actually look cleaner with the front all black.
I did get the Spigen Glas-Tr slim and have been happy with it. You can get cheaper tempered glass protectors, but try to get one with rounded off edges as the other ones can chip (also the rounded just feels nicer. I did get a cheaper one for my iPad and I think the rounded makes a difference in feel when your hands touch the edges.
Finally, beware with tempered glass protectors as some cases won't work anymore because the phone will be slightly thicker.

By wrap, I mean a product like a Skinomi, http://www.skinomi.com/saganoiii.html which will allow you to change the appearance of the device. BTW, the glass screen protector will not look white on your phone, so no worries about that.

Oh I see. I just got a slickwrap but it doesn't go on top of my tempered glass protector well.. I wonder if a regular screen protector would work better because it's less thick.
I got mine a few days ago, been very happy with it
Does get very greasy through fingerprints though..
I just got this superb case in Amazon. I love it....it's well made with good plastic material and grip. It adds a little bulk but....i still like it...it looks like a tank. Lol. The only thing that i hate with this case is ut comes with screen protector which is built in and when u place your phone in...it shows rainbowing distortions...it's more noticeable when the screen is off and intense direct light to the screen. Any how when...you turn on the screen everything looks fine and the touch responsiveness too aren't minimize.
Im planning to rip the builtin screen protector and get a hd film or glass i hope it will still fit when installed back in the case.
I'm confused. That's totally different from this unicorn beetle case

what glass screen protector did you used? I was concerned with the thickness
@hatyrei - on the back of your phone, there is a sticker (in the second picture) attached on your power and volume keys, not to be rude but that is supposed to be removed, unless you want it, those are just intended to be temporary indicators.
@Ronde90 - What glass screen protector are you using? I popped out the one there and bought a thin one (that sadly is a fingerprint magnet) for now but wanted to see if a glass one fit. How are the smudges? What brand/model/price?

Hi guys. I ordered this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00KLDJAO8?pc_redir=1404818582&robot_redir=1
It was pretty inexpensive and I didn't want to spend 40usd on one so I figured what the hell, I'll try it. It looked nice and was one of the only glass screen protectors that covered the entire screen, meaning that there were no jagged cut outs for camera or anything. Plus it is only 2mm thin and has rounded and bezeled edges. After using for a day or so I have to say it is fantastic. If feels great and you barely know its there since it is so thin and clear. It really is smudge resistant unlike many other glass screen protectors. It is also very easy to apply. It uses some kind of silicone based adhesive so it adheres better to the screen and is less prone to having bubbles be caught under it when applying it. The screen protector is also very easy to remove and reapply. I actually used it for a day, then took it off when I got the unicorn Beetle pro case. After two days of the scrappy Beetle screen protector, I ripped it off and reapplied the glass screen protector with no issues at all; I wrapped up the glass screen protector in wax paper for the mean time.
If you're on the fence, pull the trigger and I promise that you won't be disappointed, especially at the price on amazon now.

Nice looking case! May you post some bigger photos?
Ps. I have seen the blue one, really love to see the actual color of the case.
I dont drop my phone usually but i want to protect the phone from getting scratches at the back of the phone. My current phone has a very small scratches at the back and i want to prevent that. Invisibleshield used to make full body military grade films but all i found on their website is for front screen only. Do they stop making full body hd film? Or any other website sell full body film for s8+. All i really need is the film to cover the back side.
I got the Skinomi full-body one for my S8. It fits wells and went on pretty well.
I may take it off the front, though - I really like the naked screen look.

Yep, bought it directly from Skinomi.com. I think it took 3 or 4 business days for delivery.
There are pieces to put on the metal trim, but I just threw them out. I mostly wanted this so that there would be a clear skin on the back of the phone. It covers the entirety of the glass. You just have to be patient putting it on the curve.

Slickwraps sells a naked skin for the back in glossy or matte finish. I have the matte one on my Note 5 and it's great! https://www.slickwraps.com/galaxy-s8-naked-wrap.html thinking of buying one for my S8 as well.

I actually only paid $10 for it since I found a $5 code (just google "slickwraps discount code" if anyone is interested) and 1 slick point I think is what they call it. I got the orchid grey colour so I think it's pointless for me to cover up a coloured back phone with a skin design. If I got the black one, sure. But I love this muted purple colour! And that skin will be there for when I want to use my phone naked.
ok so we have gadgetshieldz, skinomi and Slickwraps. Which one should i order??

Thanks. I was gonna order from gadgetshield but they ship from India and I kinda want it asap so I placed an order with skinomi last night.
Are these three hard plastic feel or do any of them have that slight rubberized feel like the zagg skins. I have a case on mine but I hate it, love the feel of the phone. I'd like the skin to be bit grippy to help from flying out of my hands.
I know DBrand are big state side but with the phone not being available for our American counterparts it'd doubtful they'll do a skin for the P20 Pro so I've order a brushed slate skin via xtreamskins. Cost me £6.50 which I didn't think was too bad. I can post picture and give an overview of how easy/difficult it is to fit and photo's of how it looks if there's much interest from folks on here? https://www.xtremeskins.co.uk/products/huawei-p20-pro-skins?variant=8065942650908

I was just looking at this today. Instead I ordered a few cases off eBay. They look like they better protect the cameras. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/112914026578
I'd appreciate that
Got my skin from these guys today. It's not that great of a product but works for the price. Application is pretty straight forward but a pain getting it to align with the cameras and flash. The good part is that you can peal and reapply and it doesn't affect the stickiness of the skin. The edges don't stick down at the rounded corners so you definitely need a case over this or it will peal off

Looks kinda cool with the case, but then again I got the blue colour so don't think I want to cover that up anyway.

The only issue I have with this is the edges not sticking down. Let me know your thoughts on the blue skin.
Heat it on with a hairdryer dude

Ah sorry I meant I picked up the Midnight Blue P20 so wouldn't put a skin over it anyway.
Damn, was hoping to get a skin so i can use it without a case and keep the back scratch free
The edges not sticking down is unfortunately a deal breaker there
Check out https://www.xtremeskins.co.uk
I'm currently running their carbon Fibre skin on my S8+ and it sticks great. Even around the edges. No issues whatsoever and good scratch protection. Can only recommend them. Just ordered a black camo one for my P20 pro.
Heat it

You need to heat skins on if the edges are curved.....get your mums hairdryer on it
I had same ssue with mine. Emailed Xtream Skins who offered to send out a replacement (I've gone for camo this time as slate doesn't look as good as on photo render).
They sad that they've changed the design and after looking back at their website you can see that the the skins now wrap around the sides of the phone.
Regards the sides not sticking. I put the case on over the skin and over night the skin stuck completely due to pressure from case. Beats the hairdryer technique that didn't work for me.

Any photo that I can take a look and decide to buy one? I interested in the black camo
I have got this one from 7layerskinz.com. Fits very nice.
Got my black camo skin from Xtreme in the UK. Came within 2 days. The video instructions are really straight forward, I got the back glass one only.
Would take a pic, don't have a spare phone at the minute to do so! Was cheap too. £6.99
Fitting was easy, the key is to activate the glue by using some gentle heat and pressure. No lifts on any corners or sides. No bubbles as it's got air release channels in the back, but you gotta push the air out before you seal the sides! Made that mistake on my iPhone seven last year.
It's definitely less slippy now with a skin on.
Are there any clear skins available state side? I got the Twilight color so would prefer not to hide it but still need some protection.

Do remember that the application for clear skins will be problematic if it is not a wet install. With skin installation, generally you would have to handle the adhesive with your fingers and that means imparting fingerprints on it. With non-clear skins that isn't an issue as you will not be able to see the smudges. With clear skins you will and the only way to prevent this is to perform a wet install.
