Thumbs up Red Carbon Fiber XO Skin ( i think i did a pretty good job!)

Hi Guys I see that most people get the Black or White carbon fiber skin protectors so I bought a red one and thought I'd share some of my thoughts/pics in case some of you might be wondering. I think i did a decent job !
  • I love the way it looks (if you can get over the minor gaps; but if done properly it will look nice) but the back cover looks beautiful
  • It will protect from scratches but not drops
  • Feels great in the hands (esp after having a case over it for so long) I love the naked feel
  • The only thing I worry is if I might accidently rip off the edges while taking it out of my pocket. It has been a few days already and so far it seems to be holding up nicely so getting use to it.

TOP:
You can notice the gaps but it is not too bad, gives it a nice look if properly done





Side 2
You can see that the front area of the buttons are not protected, which kind of irritated me because I was under the impression that it was a full cover.







I am thinking of just getting a bumper now so It protects the sides nicely. Phone feels so light now! Loving it

Anybody have the blue?

It looks pretty good! I like the idea better than the standard covers. I live dangerously with no cover, no screen protector.

The gaps stand off quite a bit, because of the contrast of colours. But it got that Ferrari looks alright.
I have the same skin in black. Very good. Have it for a couple of month and no peeling yet.

I want to get a carbon fiber skin for my Nexus but I too would like the sides covered. I swear I have seen skins that cover the whole side but I dont know who makes them. Obviously not XO Skins
My Devices:
Galaxy Nexus / HP TouchPad (Both on Jelly Bean)
Droid X2
Palm Pre Plus
Palm Centro
Everything before that doesn't matter.
