Has anyone used these?
They're the only site I can find that allows you to make a custom decal, I want to make one with some of my favourite pictures all over it lol.
Just wondering if the decals actually cover the whole phone, leaving no visible black casing? And also is the tough anti scratch deal really as good as they say it is?
Thanks,
Steve.
yes i actually have it on my phone right now, no it doesnt cover the whole phone. Just the front and back. The sides are not covered. Hope this helps

Any pics mate?
The more expensive one for $19.99 is the one i'm looking at. It's the scratch resistant ultra tough thing and judging by the designer that one does cover the sides:
http://www.uniqueskins.com/design.php?prod=920&opt=1648
But when I meant does it cover the whole phone I meant in size wise, for example is it a perfect fit or is the front decal slightly too small or too big etc.
you should look on ebay. they sell 3 skins for like $10 more or less, and theyre pretty good. they dont really offer any real protection because theyre more like decals/vinyls but what i do(and apparently the seller too) is i put the skin on, then over that i put a clear case. looks really good
they fit well also. the only thing i think you might not like is the part that goes on the back, it covers the back well, but just doesnt cover the corners. these arent super high tech skins. basic. but! the quality of the picture/design on the skin is amazing

I want a custom Decal of all my pics of me any my mates hence why using UniqueSkins.
Great
I just bought a custom scratch resistant skin from there and they are excellent in quality luckily I had found a coupon and paid only 15 dollars with shipping.
I have ordered mine, cost was $19.68 with 25% off coupon (am in the UK, selected the UPS shipping).
Once it arrives, I'll do a mini review and post a few coupons.
Does every part of the skin get colored or do parts remain transparent ?
For example if i make a simple logo will the skin be the logo on a colored background or the logo and the rest is clear ?
sry double.

I think anything not covered will be printed in white, I'm not 100% sure because I covered everything but if you add just 1 item and press preview anywhere you haven't covered is in white.
However I can confirm that anything you upload which is transparent, stays transparent. So you could make a solid black block to stretch across the skin then make the background of your image transparent.

Ok so I bought a clear case here And while working, I was inspired by A black and silver Ford GT sitting in our shop. Here are the results.
that looks pretty good. may i ask where did you buy your case.
eBay
You can buy it from eBay a seller "e2" in Hong Kong, but shipping just about a full month. I bought 2 and am using none of them. They are garbage because the holders (places where plastic pieces stickout) will scratch your phone no matter what. Overtime, the places where the case is held on the phone will be pressed leaving the paint on the phone depressed and scratched. Otherwise it will protect the phone real good.

They are not the highest in quality, and it took ten days shipping. But it sounds like you need to trim the "flash" around the tabs, you can also cut the tabs off and use little pieces of 2-sided tape, which will solve all of your mentioned problems.. for less than $5.00 and you can paint 'em any color you want, I ain't complaining!

VERY NICE PIMP! Very nice indeeed. an affortable and less dodgy way to do it
What paint you used? And sorry if I am blind, but you painted the cases you bought, not the phone itself, right ?
And BTW, looks ...WOOW
Nice job!
that reminds me of a friend of mine who once owned one of the cheapest polish cars (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polski_Fiat_125p) and painted id in similar way (actually he made quite lot of modding inside as well, including chrome-metallic parts that resembled washing machine in a way
oh well, there's been a lot of fun with this piece of junk... and the guy's nickname is still "Viper" ;]
oh yeah. i forgot to mention i like this mod a lot, looks very cool!!

I am a Developmental Marketing Technician for Ford Motor Co. I pulled the "Paint Codes" from the door of the GT in the Third Picture. And used PPg enamel paint. I think any paint will work?! And yes I painted the inside. I screwed up the stripes (they should be wider and closer together). But I was in a hurry, I did it on my lunch hour, and still had time to eat! The paint looks really good!! The clear Plastic makes it look like a super thick clear-coat!! I spent a little time on a bench buffer with it. But the paint will never scratch, because it is inside!!
[HINT]
Oh yeah, a little Tip if you decide to try!!! After spraying the inside, no matter how well you mask it, you will end up with a mist of paint on the outside. A little polishing compound and a soft rag removes it like magic!!
Here is a Link to a picture of the case without the phone
congratulations
anione knows if this clear case exist for i- mate k-jam or qtek 9100??

Pardon my poor language.. but what do you mean by "flash"?
Just dropped my phone a few hours ago and extremely upset... Luckily it was in its case but a coupla corners still got damaged
I was about to purchase a replacement housing but seeing this post, this would be a much cheaper alternative... Just gotta think of a theme now and find an artist...
Do you know if anyone sells it without that circle on the back?

Flash means when a plastic piece is cast, a small amount of plastic is left over that needs to be trimmed, or it could leave a jagged edge.
The circle on the back gives it a stable base when you lay the phone down...

man, why dont they sell these cases in the stores?????
that's a pretty damn good job, nice work!!
My wizzard 's casing is pretty beat up due to me dropping it, just laying it down on concrete, etc. I'm really thinking about actually sanding and 'polishing' the body of it to make it more shiny/get rid of scratches....and then buy a hardcase to go over that...
Wow... tahts the nicest case i've ever seen. Nice job... you should resell your case... =]
I did the same thing(well, solid black). It looks awsome from the front, but I cant get the back to really fit to the phone. I don't know if its my phone or if I just got a bad case.
I think I would have a little trouble returning it painted black though!
I was searching around and could not find a gel/TPU type clear case for the G1...for those of you who do not know...here is one example of a Nexus One case like what I would want:
http://cgi.ebay.com/2-Soft-Case-TPU...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item746a91e417
I know they do not show a completely clear one, but that is the material/type of case I would like. It is not like a typical silicone case -it is slightly like a hard case being that it does not bend as easily and it is not floppy at all.
Any ideas?
Heres the problem that I see...
How would you open the keyboard with that cover overlapping the front of the phone? That would probably be the reason those style covers don't exist for the G1.
As my fellow Oregonian said.. Soft cases and a slide keyboard won't really work.. If you look at the hard shells you'll see how the screen has it's own little part that clips on.. soft shells wrap instead of clip on...
I fail to see why they could not have a separate piece to put on the screen...?
If there is no such case... then could someone recommend a thin, yet tough, hard case? (preferably clear)
soft cases can't clip onto the screen part that has to slide up...
but here's something i found with decent reviews for the other colors.. clear hasn't been rated yet

I ordered the clear one, and it came in yellowish like it was old or like someone was smoking around it or something.... the seller gave me a refund because he said they had no more, but I think that all the clear ones were just as yellow ? who knows....
also when you hold the phone in portrait mode on the top right and left corners of the keyboard section the case left a small gap on each side maybe about 1-2 millimeters as if it was slipping off...
Other than all that I liked it, but would not use it because it makes my phone look yellow / ugly... if I had a case like that with these flaws fixed then I would use it.

LMAO...Reading this was funny for some reason
Can you post some pictures? And would you recommend it? I am looking for a new case for my phone, and this one is one that I am considering
I had this case. I had a screen protector on, and the extra height of the screen protector made the screen portion of the case slip off. If you don't use a screen protector, it might work for you. I bought a Seidio case and never looked back. Super thin, rugged plastic. Comes in black so it blends into the phone.

zinite, I understand that, but see I do also have a screen protector on but the section of the case which goes on the screen is fitting fine, the section for the body is the part I have the complaint about. I will definately check out some Seidio cases now that you have mentioned that.
SolemnWishing, Here are some pictures of the case next to a clear hard case (which is actually clear and not yellow...)
Ace42, glad you got a laugh! haha...BTW I am wondering why you were laughing though, kind of odd to me ATM...
WOW! that case is really yellow. i was thinking about getting one thinking it wont be that yellow. but that is definitely gross smoker yellow
Dang... it looks like someone left that out in the sun for like a year or something..
Guess you know what happens to these cases when you have em for awhile... I've long given up on G1 cases: with a simple screen protector you should be on your way. I love the feel of the back of the G1, and a case would only screw that up.

I also love the feelings of the G1 without a case, but I have dropped my previous phones too many times to take that chance... haha
Any ways... Those pictures are from the same day of receiving that case, so it must be some fault on the seller....
its really a disappointment since there are no other cases (that I can find that is) like that for the G1...
any other recommendations/ideas?
Phantomskinz just released their tf skinz w00t. I really like how smooth their screen protector is and how the carbonfiber chromatics look on. My evo shift.
Too bad they don't have a matching set for the dock or id be tempted to get the chromatics (maybe even the white one this time around) again. Guess I'm just gonna get the screen protector for now
Anyway, really recommend it, specially if you think the tf screen produces too much friction.
i dont need a signature
Looks like the Chromatics are $5 cheaper on Amazon.
Black Carbon Fiber: http://amzn.to/lP0lxm
White Carbon Fiber: http://amzn.to/k6dLT8
Didn't know they sold via amazon as well.
Either way...I just contacted them about skins for the dock and they said they don't have any plans for it. Not really interested in a half dressed tablet so I'm just gonna go with the screen protector.
Now to decide wether to get my tf replaced due to a single spec of dust under the screen...before I put the screen protector on.

skinomi has GREAT support.
Basically what happened was I got my skinomi carbon fiber silver
a week ago and my ASUS Transformer sadly had to go through an RMA
due to my speakers dead =/
I already applied the skin and now i have to remove them due to RMA.
I told skinomi this and they were able to resolve this issue and send me a REPLACEMENT for free.
Now thats great company right there and they should see my business from now on.
I didn't even had to return an old one or pay any shipping or deduction fees.

I like the screen protector although it is not as hard as others; it has a nice touch to it but is easily dented by fingernails etc.

i noticed that as well with my evo shift. when applying the skin, trying to remove all the air bubbles, i might have pressed to hard on certain areas, and those parts of the skins are now a bit stressed.
that the only thing keeping me from getting it. although i wonder if that's the compromise to prevent the orange-peel effect some other skins have, and phatomskinz doesn't.
I just talked to phantomskinz and they say the protect does not reduce glare and that is one of the big things I want to improve. Can anyone confirm this?

It doesn't reduce glare. It is as shiny (the screen) as it is naked.
For those wondering, the carbon skin (and probably the clear one as well, although im not sure) is 9 pieces.
I attached some pictures of it installed. Sorry the pictures are not too clear. I had to reduce the size due to the upload limit for attachments. I can take the pictures again if someone wanted better ones.
wow..$35 dollars for stickers? these companies are minting money.
@skapur, well, it's not just a sticker. it comes with a clear screen protected, and the "sticker" is made of vinyl, and cut for the device. that being said, yea, way overpriced.

yes please. mind taking shots of the seams? also, do you have the dock? how does it look without matching bottoms? would you recommend it?

By seams, do you mean where the pieces end?
I just got the dock this week. It is a little snug, but I dont know if it is because of the skin+screen protector because I never got to try the dock without it on. The dock did leave a line of imprint on the bottom of the screen protector where the docking "v" or "u" slides over the tablet.
I think it looks a little funny without the dock having a matching skin, but I have gotten used to it.
Ive had the skin+ screen protector on for around 2 weeks now and nothing has peeled or anything. The only thing is that they cut around the speakers so the skin is very thin on the sides of it (on the screen and backside side) and it has folded inward. But not a major problem for me.
Hello All,
Just thought I would pass this along in case there was anyone like me who regretted buying the white HAM2 due to it's slipperyness. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I almost dropped it due to it's slick surface and all the aftermarket covers I bought (5) made it just too big, so I bought an OEM back/battery case cover from the location below pretty cheaply.
http://www.parts4repair.com/back-cover-for-huawei-ascend-mate-2-mt2-black/
When I bought mine (black one) I saw in amazon reviews that the white and the black one were different in that the back covers were smooth vs textured, which tipped my decision for the black version. Also didn't want it to be confused for a sammy product also . Thanks for the link in case my cover ever gets damaged I know where to get it. :good:

Hey guys!
So I received my FlexiCase for the OnePlus 5 today! I can finally move away from my custom case.. (a oneplus 3 case with the camera slot cut out!) I am delighted to see that Orzly are one of the first big-name brands with their cases out! I had the FlexiCase for my OnePlus 3 last year and loved it, so purchased this one the moment I saw it up for pre-order on amazon.
Now lets get into the review!
One of the first things you see in the package when you open it is a letter from the companies co-founder, hoping that you like the product!
http://imgur.com/a/TpGJG
Now onto the packaging, its similar to other products. Dead front you can see through the clear piece of plastic a part of your case, and the rest of the white, orange and gray packaging is surrounding it. The back of it houses some information about Orzly, some social media handles and tells you how you can win some free prizes!
Taking the case out of the packaging, it is a flexible gel case, as the name implies. All the buttons are covered by the case, and the case has protruding areas, along with a gap between the volume up and down buttons to help you determine which is which!
Putting the phone into the case, all the ports, including the camera and alert slider line up perfectly as you can see in the images below! None of the microphones are covered, which is great seeing as I had read of a few companies had covered the one by the camera at the back! Speaker lines up perfectly, and there is ample room for your dash charge cable and headphone jack to fit in, without pushing up the case. The alert slider has a nice little touch, there is a little bit of a space behind it so that your thumb can fit in nicely, without having to struggle! It is actually very useful and you will be able to see it in the images where I compare it with the OnePlus3/3t FlexiCase. Around the back in the bottom right there is a small bit of Orzly branding, which isn't really too obtrusive and is very small.
http://imgur.com/a/wNlwp
There is a lip around the screen, which would be able to protect your device should you drop it and will help to protect you from scratches!
http://imgur.com/a/wEg9a
My opinions? This case is great for anybody who loves the thinness of the OnePlus 5. It sits nearly flush with the back, yet protects the camera. Even though it is thin, it protects the screen which is great! I personally got the clear one, but they do have other matte colours should you want them such as black, red and blue! A link to buy can be found here! (change .co.uk to .com or whatever depending on your location!)
If you have any questions about this case, feel free to ask below and I will reply!
Mine also arrived, pretty standard, good quality and it's nice to be able to see the phone!
I like the oneplus original cases they look that good to me that I spent a extra 100 on Cases. I like every one. They case is OK too though
Mine also arrived today seems pretty good

I think the one from spigen i used on op3 is much better as it is a more hybrid material. Meaning the plastic at the edges is more solid. The edges on the orzly one are too soft so they are moving easily, i dont think it can protect the edges from high impact. Im sure if you dropp it on a edged surface like the edges of some stairs, the edges will bend back and the screen or edges will be f***ed for sure. I will buy a spigen hybrid crytal clear as soon as they pop up on amazon germany.

Ah yeah, this is the flexicase its a bit different. I used the orzly fusion bumper case mainly on my op3 last year, which would be an equivalent to that spigen i believe
That's going to be a nice shade of nicotine brownish yellow in about a month.. Whether you smoke or not.
Will never buy a clear case again for this reason.

Sooo much this. You'll need to replace this case monthly if you want to keep enjoying it. It'll look like crap soon.
Only way I'll get a clear case is if the back is hard plastic that won't discolor and the edges need to be a solid color TPU.

Have to say the one case thats nearly clear which doesn't discolour (noticeably) is the Tech 21 variants, they have a mesh so it's no completely apparent.
But yea I learned long ago that clear cases are a no no, nicotine brown is not a good look.

Hopefully not! My 3/3t flexicase is still pretty clear, slighty more yellow but not as bad as others i've seen. hoping this stays the same!

Aye it does go bad after a while, I had one years ago when i smoked and put two and two together, but it's just grime that it picks up, stick with smokey ones now or black.
Supposed they still get filthy but cant' see it as much.
Worst thing about it is they look amazing when you first get them

They do but those aren't even shipping yet. When I ordered my black case on Amazon back on June 24th the listing said shipping would start on July 13th. I've already dropped my slippery OP5 once and have a small dent to show for it. I hope the case arrives while I still have something to protect with it.

Same here. I loved the concept of a clear case to show off a nice phone. First time using a clear case was the one that came with my OPx. Didn't take long for it to start turning that nicotine brownish yellow color. (my bad smoking habit didn't help much of course) Got a black spigen case after that and haven't looked back.
I'm waiting for spigen to come out with one for the OP5 and hopefully they do so quickly. I nearly had a heart attack when I dropped it onto the concrete while exiting my work van. (chevy 3500 so It fell from a pretty good distance) Landed screen first but luckily the gorilla glass 5 held up. Ive also got one of the official OP wooden cases which has so far saved the metal finish from some minor scrapes and dings here and there.

Yep I never buy perfectly clear cases anymore, they always go off colour and look dirty. I've gone with the Otterbox for my OP5 this time around, that might change if I start feeling it's too bulky. BUT I love the knowledge and reassurance of the protection it offers over other slim/flexi cases.

Yeah, transparent plastic anything can vary quite alot I find. Some transparent stuff I've had discolors really easy, others last absolutely years without losing a single thing and still cooking crystal clear. (others, varying degrees in between). Have you got any pics of your 3T FlexiCase to show me how they hold up over the test of time? If it's not that bad, then I do like the idea of having transparent cases, because the phone itself seems pretty nice, so is nice to be able to see it through the case, especially stiff like the logo, etc.. But if it's bad, then would probably just go for a colored version instead.
Looks like even the colored ones are finally available now (even just yesterday, all but the transparent one were all showing on pre-order, so looks like t's a safe bet deliverywise for any of the colors either way now)
www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B072QX9H9G but I would still be keen to get your opinion on this, as transparent would have been my first choice, however it's a very good point that alot of people have raised, so I want to be extra specially careful to hear from real people who have used them before knowing which color to get. Main thing is I want it to look nice!
Thanks.
