Note 7 coral blue skin for Note 8?

[marc.knuckle]

Hi guys.

I had a few questions i was hoping to get help with, mainly skins, protection etc but also a battery one.

1) i was gutted when the note 7 had its issues with one of the reasons being i loved the coral blue with its copper sort of accents. Is there a skin similar, especially where i could maybe accent the camera module and/or other parts with the copper like colour?

2) linked to question one, is there and skin fitting services or shops that sell the skins that do an installation service?

3) I don't like glass screen protectors and have recently put a wet application tpu one on but the edges don't go very far and attract lots of dust. Any better suggestions?

4) battery life is really poor for me. I like the screen resolution at its highest which i realise is a big part of the problem but are there any suggestions to follow? I've factory reset since the Oreo update and turned down brightness.

Thanks all, Marc

1) I haven't seen any Coral Blue skins but there are plenty of other skins out there that you can get for the Note8. DBrand, SlickWraps, ColorWare, etc. I've had a DBrand skin on mine since launch and it has held up very well.

2) I've come across some local stands @ malls around my area that have a limited skin selection and will install them for you but aside from that you'll have to look around. As a disclaimer, I live in the US.

3) Honestly if you don't like the glass and have issues with the TPU wet app protectors there really isn't any better alternatives from what I've seen. I'm currently using an invisishield HD Dry and it's held up okay. The edges are starting to lift but I don't use a case with it so that's probably why. I've tried at least 10 others from Amazon and each one has been a disappointment. I finally decided to order the Whitestone Dome protector as many people have recommended.

4)I doubt that resolution alone is tied into your battery life issues. I'm running the latest Oreo update, I believe one just came out with the May Security Patch, and have not experienced any impact on battery life. As a matter of fact, my battery life is even better than it was before. I'm typically getting 6-7 hours SOT with medium to light use and 5-6 SOT with heavy to medium. There should now be a built in feature that monitors what apps are using an excessive amount of battery and it will notify you. Try putting that app to always sleeping in the battery settings. I've done that with a few apps and there has been a noticeable improvement. You can also try using an app like ForceDoze or Greenify to enable Doze quicker and keep it on even when it detects motion, this has helped me increase my standby time by hours.

Hope this helps.

Decal girl does custom skins, might be able to get the specific color from them. I prefer dbrand, but did order a custom skin which came with a wallpaper for the phone as well just to check it out and it was solid.

If you put screen protectors on, then skins are easier. I live in Wyoming so no stores or places that do installation work close by. A good tip for both skins and plastic sp's is to use a hair dryer for the corners and edges , it really helps with the application process and keeping the edges down.

As for battery life, just check the forums , there are 1000's of posts with tips, or just charge more often.
