Default Best Skin Ever, Invisible Shield, etc.

Hey everyone!

I'm loving my Verizon TP2, but I'm soo nervous to drop the gorgeous device. I want to add a case to it, preferably a clear skin to prevent extra weight since it already weighs 10lbs. The problem I'm having is that all the skins so far are for the global unlocked edition. I still have the "Remove Before Use" sticker on the front since I don't want to scratch it!

Has anyone seen a skin for the CDMA version yet? How about a thin case?

Default Ghost Armor

Ghost Armor has what you are looking for. It was created from a Verizon version so it should work great. I believe it is better that the invisible shield because it doesn't have that orange peel type surface which I hate. better quality too.


here are some video shots of it being hit by a weed eater.

Dumb question. This is my first flat screen as I am coming from a 6800 which had a frame around the screen. Your choices are full body and screen only. Does screen only mean the entire front top to bottom or it just fits over the touch screen area? I am thinking that would look like kaka but the site isn't clear.

I have been using Invisible Shield for a while. I don't like the mat finish so much so this looks like it is made out of the same material but with a different finish.

Default Ghost Armor

The screen only is just that... Only the screen. no border or anything else.
The entire kit has been die cut for the sides and back as well. On my G1 phone there was even a piece for the charging flap.

Also it is not the same material as the invisible shield or any of those other brands. They use the same material as the invisible bra that people can buy and put on their cars. This material is used for helicopter blades and has a different make up and feel all together. I personally wont use anything else.

The link you provided suddenly changed to GSM version of the skin...
Quoting from the website...
"**Please Note: This product fits the European version, not the T-Mobile or the Verizon."

Yeah I just noticed that myself. I will call my buddy and ask when the real deal will be ready to ship. to me personally it is worth the wait.

I will post when I find out.

THat's odd, from what I've seen the CDMA version is the same shape as the International GSM version. I thought T-mobile was the only one who messed with the shape

I think it is...essentially. The difference is that the phones that have the 3.5mm headphone jack (T-mobile, Verizon) have the usb connector offset to the left, and that whole area at the bottom of the phone is slightly wider.

That's also the reason why the TP2 specific cradles and active car mounts don't fit either.

The T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 doesn't have a 3.5 mm headphone jack, none of the GSM versions do, only the CDMA Models.
