Created my first phone decal for Samsung S7 Edge in Carbon Fiber...what do you think?

[firerock]

After years of using other brand's decal, I decided get my hands dirty and create my own. Here's my first carbon fiber decal for Samsung S7 Edge. The process is definitely longer than I expected, but I think it looks good.

Lookin good, where'd you get the film? Is it grippy?

Yeah, one of the biggest reason I decided to create a decal because the phone is too slippery. I bought raw carbon fiber film on Amazon and trace/measure every corners and cut it myself.

I tried 3M decal, but I don't like it. It's too thick and the edge sticks out too much for my liking. I use this one instead - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0059XCVVO

i personally prefer the 3M Di-Noc. it has a deeper texture. if you use a heat gun and run your fingernail along the edge, it smooths out.

Heat gun on your cellphone? I wouldn't dare to do that.

you only need the heat the material enough to soften it...not all that hot.

If a heat gun is too scary, I have done a homemade skin myself as well. I used a hairdryer. Works just as good and you can toggle warm to hot.
