Custom Battery Cover!!

Hello XDA friends! I have made a custom back cover for the Samsung Galaxy S 4g and the original Samsung Vibrant. It is a custom job. Every cover is unique since it is done with paint and a few other tricks. Also I can clear coat them if you want. I will sell them each for $20 including shipping to anywhere in the US (add $5 to Canada)
If there is enough interest I can do this in White (as shown below), Blue, Red or Green Post a reply letting me know your interest and which color you would prefer.
Take a look at the pictures below. They look awesome! They are a direct replacement for your current back cover. They do not add any thickness nor change the shape of the phone....and yes, they fit perfectly unlike some aftermarket covers.
Post a reply if you are interested so I can gauge just how many people may want this before I make an order for the blank covers.
PM me and I will send you a Paypal link for the cover. I will see how much interest I get for the first while so be patient and I will keep you updated on shipping dates.
Also take a look at the covers I previously made for the Vibrant. I feel I do good work. I sold a lot of those covers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959149 If enough people bug me about the carbon fiber covers I can continue making them but will have to do $25 with free shipping. It just takes a lot of work and I was overwhelmed. Also I may start putting clear coat on them if preferred.

I personally would be interested in one of the white carbon fiber backs. I live in California, USA.. just as a heads up.

Mostly smooth. You can feel some of the lines and shapes made when I texture these. I may clear coat them though if that is preferred.

Do we pay you via paypal? just curious

Galaxy S 4G

Can you please put pictures of the Samsung Galaxy S 4G with the cover?
Those pictures are really zoomed in, so I would like to know how would they look from my eyes
Just imagine the phone is sitting in the desktop
I don't want pictures SO close because even though they show the textures, they are too close so I don't know if they look cool or not

Broken Photos?

Would it be possible to make a custom back cover for a extended battery cover? Or you don't do those?

this is my first time seeing that one. i went to the tmobile store to buy my hdmi cable(of course they didnt have) and i saw the kickstand case. its similar to the one for the g2. i wasnt impressed. so ill hold out. i have some accessories coming in the mail today. zagg, tpu, and hard case for now.

I have it. It's really a nice case - fits the phone perfectly and allows just a hint of the stainless trim to show adding a bit of style. The edging around the corners is a bit raised for protection. It leaves the entire front of the phone exposed though so if you put it down on it's face or drop it it'll get damaged. The kickstand isn't rotatable, the wide end props the phone up vertically and the edge horizontally. In the vertical position the phone's really low in relation to the surface its on. The kickstand itself feels a bit flimsy so I don't know how long it'll last. I use it as my "indoor" case. If I'm taking the phone out I use the Body Glove case which provides much better all-around protection.

I was thinking about buying this stand, what do you guys think? It's from:
http://www.gogostand.com/
It fits in your wallet, and has 3 different configurations to allow for portrait and landscape orientations.

i posted somewhere on here that daydeal has the same case,with a cover that protects the front of the phone.....for less money. sorry i couldn't catch you all before you bought yours. mines a nice,snug fit.
http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=52415&cat=66
only difference is that it doesn't have the metal strip on the back.
edit...ok, expansys dropped their price a couple bucks since last time i checked. i still like daydeals better though.

Can someone that has the case post pictures please? I would like to see it on the phone before committing 23 dollars Thanks!

Here ya' go...

Cruzerlite Persona's for the One S

So I saw these became available over the weekend and had to order them. I got 3 of them. I got the Black & White Abstract (Inverted), Camo Light Green, and Andy Scratched. As I have said in the past, I had this series on my Gnex and that is why I rushed to get these. Let me say again, not disappointed. Highly detailed, great TPU feel (not plasticy like some would think by the looks) and kickass designs. It doesnt have the volume cut out but as I have said before, I actually am happy it isnt. I dont click them on accident with any of my Cruzer Lite cases on. All other cut outs are perfect. Ive become a pro on putting on these cases. FYI, there is a wrong way to put them on. Start from the top and then the bottom right side and then finish up with the bottom left side. This way, all the cutouts match up 100%. I have a crappy cam in bad lighting so the pics are crap. Im sorry. Check out cruzer lites site or amazon for high res ones.
I thought the Andy Scratched was going to be my fav but once I got the camo one up close and noticed there are Andy's hidden in there, its now my fav.

I'm talking about the andy scratched case. Do the green scale looking part feel different to the rest of the case or is it just glossy?

It feels like the rest of the case. The persona line is just fancy designs. They dont add any different feel.

What's the difference between the 'Persona,' 'A2,' and plain TPU cruzerlite cases?
I like the design of the 'Argyle' type, but if it's not as good quality materials I may opt for another.

Persona is their fancy line with all the different designs, the A2 is what got them famous with the Andy in the case design, which also adds to a better grip I think and the plain is just a plain tpu one with no grip. I have the persona and A2 and I have the A2 on my phone 90% of the time.

Thanks man
these are really cool appreciate the post

Slickwraps Note 4

Just got an email from Slickwraps announcing their skin lineup for the Note 4. I like to keep my phones in a case, but I've had a good experience with them in the past with my M8. Anyone thinking about picking one up? If you don't mind placing one on the front, it looks like a good option to cover the curved sides of the glass.

Wow, these look amazing. I'm really really tempted...

I wouldn't have enough patience trying to stick this on and ruin it. Looks great though!

I was wondering when these would be available this is awesome

Good luck trying to install the front one with curved edges.

$20 is highway robbery for a decal.

Wow spamming that same image twice in a post? Pretty annoying. I was going to be nice and not mention dbrand in this post but since you decided to post that crap twice I thought dbrand should get a plug then. They are the best vinyls ever and wont spam stupid black Friday deals in your posts like this.

They are awesome. This was my m8 with one of my favorite designs. They don't really touch the screen and typically if they are full screen you have the ability to get a screen protector that only covers screen.

Slickwraps is the ish. I just ordered the white leather finish. We'll see how that goes. Really curious to see how it feels in the hand.

Skins

Thinking about moving from a case to a skin. Was curious if anyone else has skinned their M9, and which brand you used. Don't want to fly blind if someone has had a good or bad experience with theirs.

I have used 2 d brand skins and they look nice it's just hard to get them perfect on the curved corners on the phone.

Slickwraps are the way to go. Had them on my last 3 phones.

I've used dbrand and slick wraps on my last few phones. Can't go wrong with either. Dbrand carbon fiber is a little slippery though.

I don't know a bout the quality but you can find crazy skins for the m9 on ebay , more choice than on dbrand or slickwrap and cheaper prices

Slickwraps is really good. I've been buying wraps from them for many of my devices and they are excellent. I stopped buying from them though, because when I got a wrap for the M9, it lasted only about a week because it started too detach from the sides. I contacted the company and they said they couldn't do anything to help me. I was surprised because they are always very attentive with their customers. Regardless of this situation, I can say that their wraps are just great and would recommend them to anyone. I'll probably get a glow in the dark one once I'm over this little inconvenience.

Vinyl skins can be manufactured very cheaply, but in my experience, you get what you pay for with this kind of stuff when it comes to fit, durability, and appearance.
And it's not like name-brand skins are that pricey. I just got the mahogany front skins from dbrand, and the fit and look are perfect. $5 with shipping.
