Is there a light weight like carbon fiber battery cover available? Thanks!
I am looking for a full body skin for my bionic. A case will not work since I will be using the lapdock.
I have checked these sites with no luck.
phantom skinz
skinit
ghost armor
I know skinomi has one but it does not look like it wraps around the sides of the phone. Has anyone used this brand before with any luck?

i LOVE skinomi, use them for all my screen protectors (Best screen protectors FACT haha). As far as skins, they offer great value for getting the back skin combo.
You are correct though, it will not cover the sides though. I have the carbon fiber on the back of my iPad2, it is nice because it is textured..
I think you are better off waiting for skinit for a wrapping skin honestly, it should be any day now they add it
I found this skin and have ordered it. Will let you know how it goes.

My Ghost Armor guy says they should be in by September 16th, 23rd at the latest. He did a custom cut for me to tide me over. They do decent work.
These are the best skins ive ever used. had one on my Droid Incredibe and on my Droid X. Crystal clear and tough as nails. a little pricey but worth it in my opinion.

I just got this skin today and it does wrap the entire phone for the most part. there are very few small parts of the battery door that are exposed after the installation but other than that its coverage is pretty full.
I didn't do a perfect job on it but I got it to a point that I thought it was close enough and stopped playing with it and called it a day.
I am new so I could not leave the link up in your quote, but this is the exact skin that you linked to in your original post.
Who is the maker of this skin? This looks great

It's the Skinomi black carbon fiber skin for the Bionic that the you linked to in the first post. I'm just so new that I couldn't leave the link in the quote.
I bought it off Amazon though (it's still sold by Skinomi) but it's only $18.95 there.
As I can't post links yet, you can just go to amazon and search for "skinomi black carbon bionic" (without the quotes). Only one complete match result should come up in the results and that's the one I bought.
Zagg Skins
I am sold on Zagg Skins. Great screen protectors that you install with fine liquid spray and soft squeegee in order to place screen protector exactly where you want it. I have even peeled it off and ran warm water over it six months later and reinstalled it.
They also have there own selection of skins but if you want a custom skin you can use their software to upoad graphics and resize, use transparency, rotate etc.
I beleive their warranty is 90 days, full replacement.

Wow, I really like that one. I looked at your pictures, and then went right to Amazon to order it!
Just an FYI, this is how the skin comes in the package so you can see that it comes with the pieces to cover the edges as well.
Anyone try this with extended battery cover?

The skin itself is custom cut for the regular battery cover. It is not cut for the bigger battery so when you try to install it it's a little small at the "battery bump, and all of the sides and bottom of the battery cover. However, if you are patient, you can work it with some heat and stretch it to the appropriate size.
I did this as a guinea pig as I had an extra skin. I was hoping the difference would only be about as drastic as Droid X2's extended vs standard battery cover at most when I bought the skins blind, but I was wrong.
With that said, I have noted I am not the best at putting these things on. If you have a lot of patience you can probably do a better job than I did if you need to use a standard Skinomi skin on an extended battery cover. This install for the back took me about 45 minutes working at it slowly so it would fit as well as it could.
So it's your judgement call. My install is not the best but it proves that it is possible to make the skin fit the extended battery cover if you are willing to work at it for a while. If not, you can wait for someone to make a skin specially designed for the extended battery cover.
Good luck for those of you who are willing to give it a shot, just be patient and leave your frustrations at the door.

Dude... awesome job!
Awesome job Diocat!
Incidentally, Optishieldz is offering a Carbon Fiber skin designed for the Extended battery cover. It is only $14.95 however it does not cover the sides of the phone, just the back battery cover.

Update:
I received this one and it is an ok skin but not as good as I had hoped. This install is much more complicated vs other skins I have used.
I am ordering the skinomi one to compare.
Just installed the skinomi and I'm very pleased thus far.
Best Skin
The best skin company I have found is SGP. I have the Matte version for my xoom and its great.
sgpstore.com/cell-phone/motorola/droid-bionic/sgp-motorola-droid-bionic-screen-protector-steinheil-series.html
I can't post links yet, need 6 more posts. so its broken.
They usually cost more, but are considered the best quality of any I've seen.

Great job installing. Did you try to use skinned phone in Motorola' car dock? Did it still fit?
Thanks!

Titanium Grey version, fwiw

Are you looking for a stylish back battery door, or minimal case?

The red case is really cool, I'd like a black version of it, but only if it would protect the edges.
This version doesn't seem to..

eBay. I found it through another GNII post on XDA. But just looking through eBay, you might find it. The white case I showed is very sleek and accentuates the Titanium Note 2.
I use this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/PU-Leather-...sung-Galaxy-Note-2-II-N7100-NFC-/271146599790
* I didnt buy from that vendor, there are several on ebay
* I went over it with black shoe polish and it looks and feels like real leather.

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone has found a solution for fitting a decent case over these phones with extended batteries. I only found that zerolemon gives a decent case (still not as rugged as I desire, but better than no case!) but I would prefer to go with a extended battery that is not as bulky such as mpj or hyperion. Any suggestions on getting a good case or am I doomed till hyperion or mpj releases one (probably never?).

I don't think you'll find a magic case that will shrink existing matter into a smaller space. The larger capacity demands a larger battery that is not going to be smaller or form fitting to a phone not initially designed for it. It will have to be bulky by definition.
The zero lemon option at least is boxy and rectangular. The other options are lopsidedly large at the base. I personally am going to add a tpu case over my mpj battery for added grip.
i didnt even realize extended batteries were still made. isn't that too bulky?

I saw this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ZAK1GAS/ref=psdcmw_3081461011_t1_B015XBS45I?th=0
and ordered a clone off eBay. Getting here tomorrow, will let you know how it goes. Not willing to use the super slippery back that comes with these extended batteries!
Do you guys think my g4 with a mugen battery and door, could I put one of those metal or hybrid bumpers on this?
Doubt a bumper would work. There is usually at least one part of the new back that alters the dimensions of the edge. The zerolemon one makes the whole thing boxy. The one I linked to above changes the whole lower 3/4th edge.
If you did your own 3d printing of a new back, and only had a pronounced lump in the center, potentially you could.
Case for extended battery
I use an otterbox on my G4 with 6200 ma battery. I leave the phone back off, cut the back out of the otterbox where the battery would hit and then just stretch the rubber over. It tucks into a groove in the front half and works great
I use Hyperion Extended battery and Hyperion TPU Case, and i do modification to add NFC feature on Hyperion
You can see on my attachment. White TPU Case too easy to get dirty

Does the Hyperion TPU case have a lip in front of the screen? Any chance you have a pic of the front with the Hyperion TPU case?

The case I got off ebay which is the same as the Hyperion one does have a lip, thus making the front very similar to many TPU cases.

Hi!
Do anyone know a nice looking Carbon Fiber case? I have the Nillkin Synthetic Fiber Case but I want an other one.
Like the OnePlus 5/T factory carbon case.
This is mine...it's the one that came in the box, wrapped with carbon fiber foil. Couldn't find the right one so wrapped it myself.
Nice, but I want to protect the camera better than the factory case.
I use the Spigen case shown here. Bought the phone on release, the case a week later, very happy with both.
