Default Skin: BodyGuardz Armor or Skinomi Techskin?

http://store.androidandme.com/bodygu...4A133A8505.htm

http://www.talkietech.com/samsung-dr...mi-sk4922.html

Has anyone had experience with both brands? I'm not sure which one I should go with. Not really into cases because they add bulk and make the phone unable to fit on car or desk docks. But I do want to put skin over the oil-and-fingerprint-happy too slippery battery door.

I haven't used either, but I think I've seen that body guard carbon case or something very similar on ebay for a lot cheaper.

My black carbon phantom skinz should be here before the end of the week. I might put it on later because I'm rocking the incipio right now .But I'll let you know how the build quality is.

the phantomskinz is probably the nicest ones

i had fitment issues tho... I had some excess vinyl... so I just said screw it... I like it all slick.

if it gets scratched I can just buy another one on ebay.

I tried a Phantom one recently, the back cover didnt cover the entire battery door.

Got mine in today. And decided to just put the battery part on. Everything went on smoothly until I got to bottom part. I could not get it to stick evenly. So now it has little crease marks at the bottom.

Which one did you get? And do you have pictures of the edges? I've decided to get a 4"x8" piece and cut it myself.

Its in my above post, the edges don't go all the way to the edge. If you wanna make your own I thought of ordering a pre cut one and using that as a stencil to trace. I'll try to get pics of the edges tomorrow.
