Default Customizing a Skin for Infuse.

I have a skin from Skinit on my laptop and I like it so I ordered a skin for the Infuse. This skin is not much use for protection but it does make my phone unique.
I am not sure if I like the front face but the skin has the buttons printed and does make it easier to locate the 4 buttons.
Here are some pix. In case someone wants to order a skin, here is the link and a 20% discount code.

Yes, they are there. I peel off the oblong slot first and realized it would be easier to peel the openings after I place the skin on the phone. Took the picture prior to peeling off those opening. The skin fit quite well and I do not see any air bubbles. It should look better after a few days. This is easier to apply as it is smaller than my laptop skin.

How well does it work with the textured back of the Infuse?

The skin is quite thick and lay down the back smooth. The word Samsung was also covered up completely with no outward indication it was there.

Although mine was a custom one, there are some texture skins that give the feel of metal or carbon fiber. That might be appealing to some.

After a couple of days with the skin applied to the Infuse, some dimples started to appear on the skin. This is caused by the textured surface of the back cover. Nothing major but they are there.

The word Samsung is still covered up completely.

My buddy sanded his back cover down. Bought a spare from samsung and used the skinit on it. No bubbles or anything in it. Works awesome.

thanks for the pics. Im gonna try to white out the infuse with an all white skin but back cover stock. I am a little hesitant about how the front skin will look but seeing this, I think I will try it.
