Got mine yesterday, I ordered a silver chromatic.

Bottom corners were a pain but everything else was pretty easy.

I did not like the screen protector. I did what the directions told me to do and after letting it sit for 2 hours the screen did not clear up. I figured I messed something up and took it off and retried. After letting that one sit over night and half of today I tore it off and put a cheap generic one back on and ordered a realook.

Yup same here, love the chromatic but the bottom corner was an absolute pain to put on and it still kinda lifts off the phone with weird bumps. Thankfully its on the bottom where i don't look much.

I have had the screen protector on the epic for about 16 hours and those bubbles did not clear up and its really hard getting it off. But the screen protector feels so good though. And speaking of which, this is gorilla glass, we don't really need screen protectors.

Mine scratched a few little ones, which was why I ordered the realook.

My screen protector is going strong after a few days. It took me a while to b satisfied with the application though. If there are any bubbles to start they'll be there later. I also don't think you can take it off and try again after so long of a time so if you're gonna try again, try it with the second one?

Oh and for the bottom corners! By chance I also got a hard case (seidio) and put it on over the chromatics just to try it out. I took it off after an hour and the corners looked much better. If you have a friend with a case, try it out! Best if you haven't already put on the little strips.

That's weird, i tried keying mine and i can't manage to get a single scratch on it. I actually use it as a key selling point when i sell the epics. I work at radio shack

What people need to understand is that its scratch proof not shatter proof so if you drop it you can still crack the screen.

I took off the screen protector, the air bubbles got on my nerves and i'm not too worried about the screen getting scratched. the bottom corners are really bothering though, im gonna try the snap on case deal and see if that helps seal it up. Thanks for that advice

Wow! $30. Man, I cannot put out that kind of money for one of these things! I actually bought this cheapy from ebay from a seller called 'Skinguardz'. His are $5.74 with free shipping starting and so far, so good. Had it like 3 days, no scratches. Went on pretty easy. I really do like that carbon fiber one that the guy yall used has.

Well, PhantomSkinz are listed at $30 for the full body chromatic, HOWEVER you can get 30% off instantly just by finding their online coupon Also, it's a bit more pricey because you get 2 full body skins if you order online and they both come with a lifetime, no-hassle warranty. And, of course, you're less likely to have trouble with any orange peel effect or other common issues that skins have if you go with PhantomSkinz.

I've had mine on for over a week now and it looks as nice as it did after my 48hour cure. Very impressed with this skin. Of course, I went with the matte finish and got it for $18 shipped.

Awww. I'm mostly worried about the camera protruding so much! My nexus camera lense got scratches ALL over from setting it down on tables.


But I agree. The carbon fiber is a odd texture and looks too slippery.

I'm getting a blue chromatic too!

Great thread and idea, I didn't know they had other choices then clear.

If there are any more pics people can post, please show them. The green is awesome, and I'm sure everyone would love to see the blue, silver, and even
the carbon.

P.S. Why would this be slick and the others not???

I just got around to ordering the Blazin Blue color after being indecisive on skins for a good while!

The coupon code "summersale2010" ends on the 30th! I suggest anyone on the fence should snatch one up, cos the Chromatics are only 20.96 after the discount from 29.99!

I have the black carbon fiber one and I'd call it less grippy than the epic case itself.
