Why would you plasti-dip your back cover......just curious....however the paint scheme looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger's make-up in Conan The Barbarian movie!!!

I hate putting cases on my phones, especially something this massive. I felt like the back of the Note3 was so slippery, so rubber coating it was my best option. For the record I love it. The grip is awesome and it makes the whole phone feel more substantial when it's in my hand. The coating also makes vibrate less obnoxious when the phone is resting on a hard surface.

As far as peeling I'm hoping it won't be a problem for a while. I literally went through almost an entire can just on this back cover so it's on there fairly thick. 10+ thick coats lol.

Looks gorgeous. Always wanted to try some sort of coating for better grip on my note 2. Doubt it'll look that good though that looks fantastic

That's a pretty cool pattern. How did you do that...with some kind of template or something? I never heard of plasti-dipping.
I actually did it with a paper plate. I would hold it over a certain area and was doing short bursts of paint with the spray can across certain areas, alternating white and black til I ended up with an overall look that I liked.

Plasti-dip is cool because it covers really well and you don't have to prime or prep the surface. And as someone else mentioned you can just peel it right off when you don't want it any more.

I had hoped, with a previous phone, that the adhesiveness would have been better with this spray, but in less than a week, it started peeling off on its own. :(

None so far. I'll let you know if I have any issues but to be honest I don't think this coating will be peeling off any time soon considering how many coats I put on it.
