Sinomi Carbon Fiber Skin

---

I just got this in today and snapped a few pictures for your guys

damn thanks man

you beat me to this, i thought i would be the first to share it but i didn't end up getting it as hoped yesterday.

Mine was supposed to come yesterday, a package came and I opened the package and inside was someone else's order.

Skinomi swiftly sent me another one and it should be with me by Saturday. Ill share my pics as well once i get mine on.

do you like it?

the one thing i noticed from your pictures though that disturbs me, does it cover up the 2 speakerphone mics on the back????

There was a small cut-out I missed! Thanks to your post I got it

I could be wrong but I don't think those are speaker phone mics. When I took the training for this phone (i work for sprint) it advised those where mics for noise canceling.

Very nice!

I just placed an order for more of the 3M material yesterday. If you're feeling adventurous and want to DIY, follow my tutorial below like I did with my Evo last year:

Got my carbon fiber skinomi, i applied the carbin fiber part fine, it looks great and ill be sure to share pictures later. it feels a bit funny to hold but overall it no big deal i can get used to it and feel like it offers the protection i need without some big bulky case.

unfortunately putting a new skinomi screen protector didnt go so well. i used a brand new cloth but still i managed to get even more lint under the skin, ill keep it on for now but im just going to get a traditional screen protector later on, i hate these liquid install ones.

I am using an Otterbox Defender, which is absolutely perfect for me - protects the entire phone, including screen, from bumps, scratches and drops.

Just curious why you folks opted for something (a carbon fiber skin) that apparently only protect the phone from scratches. I might be wrong but regardless it being carbon fiber overall looks really thin and compared to the $30 I paid for the Otterbox, how much protection does this carbon fiber skin provide?

I don't drop my phone so a case isn't necessary for me.

It's really just for aesthetics. And it's not true Carbon Fiber... but a 3M adhesive material that is styled that way.

all i need to do is protect the phone from scratches, the phone itself without a case is pretty sturdy compared to the EVO4G. I am not saying go ahead and drop the phone but i have much more faith in this phone. i love the carbon fiber look too.

btw i ripped off the skinomi screen protection, i just hate these damn liquid-install screen protectors, ill just use a traditional one.
