Did a quick job of laying down a piece of 3M Di-Noc on my phone. Will reapply as time permits. Thought I would share the results if any of you thought about doing the same.

Good idea. Which color did you use? Looks like gloss black, is that right? I'm sort of wondering whether the gloss red or the silver would look too crazy.
Edit: For those wondering - http://www.carbonfiberfilm.com/blog/3m-carbon-fiber-di-noc-now-available-in-7-different-colors/
I got one coming from XO Skins. Someone on here had it and it looked sweet. I would rather pay extra and have it pre-cut perfectly then mess around with cutting it myself not to mention I would have to buy the tape still anyway. This is the one I got here They also have them in a few other colors, it also covers the bottom half of the phone. Use code SPRINTXO at checkout gives you 30% off about a wash for shipping.
I ordered mine from phantomskinz.com

I used the black carbon fiber film. There is a roll of silver cf sitting on my workbench, will peel of the black in the morning and will take a pic in silver.
antenna
Will it interfere with the antenna reception?

I don't think it will interfere with the antennas. Its only a thin piece of vinyl printed with a cf design. Far less material compared to a tpu case or otterbox.
I just ordered one from xoskins.com. i found this discount code on line that worked SPRINTXO. it saved me a few bucks i think it was 30%

I finally decided to get the white carbon fiber ghost armor to put on my phone. Sorry for the crappy pics right now, will upload better ones when I get my hands on my camera.
What I paid: 37$ for the entire job, it was a definitely a little pricey but I think it was worth it... considering that was including installation... and that now my phone looks SICK. The carbon fiber job doesn't really offer that much protection against drops but it is scratch resistant and pretty durable. The kit will include ghost armor though which you can put underneath and the carbon fiber stuff on top.
If you guys want to just buy it and install it yourselves here is a coupon code for 20% off: Ga4life.
Here are a couple pictures:

Great product. Got mine done at the mall, got a pretty awesome deal [free]. It looks awesome, but I would never try to put it on myself, and I put on screen protectors daily. It fits the phone perfect, keeps it protected, and it still works in my car dock. Mine's black, but your pics are busted, so I'll throw some in. A couple of them I was just playing with my new camera, so had to do the double color long exposure, and show it off, lol.
wth howd u get it done for free? nd idk if this one peels im thinking about the black one!
Read the sig, it'll make since. I don't think you'll have a problem with it peeling, mine is on there very well, and shows no signs of degrading in any way, and I've had it on for over a month.
I don't understand why the kiosk at the mall in CT says they don't make them for the gs II. They claim nothing will stick to the textured back yet the ghost armor website clearly sells them.
Wtf.

I got a little bored, so I decided to order some 3M Di-Noc. Basically the same stuff as Skinomi uses but it's not pre-cut. Ordered a huge sheet. I thought to myself "I have pretty steady hands, and basically all I have to do is cut out a rectangle in some vinyl". Anyway, here are the results. Some things to note.
- I removed the rubber feet, applied the vinyl and then replaced them after cutting the holes out.
- The corners are the hardest part.
- Not for the faint hearted.
- I used the edge of the aluminum bottom as my guide, so the vinyl goes all the way to the edge.
Overall, I think the results are pretty good!!! Enjoi!!!!!

That looks sick! What's ironic is I was just on google trying to find a sheet of CF vinyl for the dock that matched my skinomi skin..lol
Very nice. What solution did you come up with for the corners?
Very nice job! I've surrounded my car stereo and the back of my galaxy nexus with cf di-noc..... this is tempting,,,,,,

Going slow, using a hair dryer to soften up the vinyl and being patient. All of these things are typically pretty foreign to me!
Cool different colors also. Also, consider that installation permanent.

Just did a quick search for a new case. This caught my attention and thought I'd share. Going to order this when I get back from Hawaii.

Sickest case I've seen for this phone yet
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk 2
I have a case very similar to this one, and am very happy with it. The only difference I can see between mine and this one is around the camera and flash, mine is more open showing the trim around them where this one is just open around the lens and flash. the back is a hard plastic, and the sides are the TPU material. It fits VERY well.
Is it a BoxWave? Early BoxWave Amaze Cases didn't appeal to me. This one is well built/molded. Can't wait to get back from vacation so I can get this.
Plus I think this case would look really nice with my white cover.

What case do you have and where did you get it? I just got a good deal on a d30 band for my amaze, but it is literally the worst case I've ever used. NONE of the buttons on the case work and it slips off the edge of the phone.

This is the one I have. There are a couple of different colors on eBay from the same seller as well, including one with a smoke colored back with the black TPU sides.

I have a midnight blue nexus 6 with a d brand carbon fiber skin, I am looking for a case with a silver bumper and a clear back. I am not a huge fan of the blue border because none of the skins really go well wound the shade of blue they used. I have looked at the spigen and ringke cases but it's not clear in the pictures if the edge is silver or clear. Thanks
I own this one, thinking that the sides would be a silver color. When i got it, it turned out to be a darker gray. I have a black carbon fiber back and it looks good. The only visible spots you will have of the blue frame would be at your charging port and headphone jack

Any chance of getting a picture?

Click the link he provided.
Let me get home from work and I'll post a pic. I will say it does look nice, but the clear shows wear. I'll try to get a pic of that as well
Here are two images of the case with a black carbon fiber back. This is my first time posting images on here, so hopefully it works

How did you get the purple lettering? I'm guessing there's a skin underneath?
It's actually pink carbon fiber dbrand skins. The phone itself came directly from dbrand, so they applied the black cover as well as the pink cover for each letter plus the moto logo.

I just changed my Black 32gb to white. Much easier than I thought! I guess I'm on the only one with a white 32gb ?.
I ordered all the parts on eBay. Rear housing, white fingerprint scanner, and white SIM tray.

Nice! 6P got awful repairablilty scores but it's really not bad at all. I think most people are just scared to heat it up enough to soften the glue and they wind up shattering the camera glass prying on it. I changed mine from aluminum to black. I left the aluminum fingerprint sensor though. Edit- Looks like we use the same cheapo Stanley heat gun too.

Lol yup, I think we do. I was nervous too due to the repair scores. I watched a few videos and it seemed pretty easy. Changing the fingerprint scanner was super easy to. It did help I had a screen separator tool too. I'm really happy with the white!

nicely done, one day i will get a replacement so i can keep for any repairs after my nexus protect expires.
I picked up the graphite because I didn't want to spring for the 64gb to get white.. I'm happy with it.. But that is one creative way to get white on a 32gb, well done!!
