I'm not much on "phone-bling" and this is the first time I have even thought about putting a skin on my phone, but while perusing e-bay, I stumbled across this skin and really liked it. It was only $7.95 shipped, so I figured why the hell not.
Once they arrived (Got one for my dad's LG Ally as well), I was pleased to find they are made with the 3M Controltac vinyl and not some el-cheapo stuff you find on other skins. The skins went on without much fuss and (to me) look very nice. Decalskins, of course have several different designs to choose from, but this is the one I liked the most. They also allow you to download a free wallpaper to match.
The skin works fine with my clear snap on case as well. All-in-all I'm pretty happy. Of course it goes without saying, this doesn't offer much in the way of protection. But it does make the phone less slick, and as I said above, it works with the clear cases you can find on Amazon and eBay. NOTE: It does hide the bottom touch key lights, so this probably isn't of use to those running BLN. But it doesn't affect operation at all.
I know it's not everybody's cup of tea, and that's fine, but I figured I'd throw a quick review up for those interested.

I bough one from geliskins and I though it will make it less slippery but it was the opposite. Is it any better?

Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with Gelaskins, but I can tell you, this skin is a lot less slippery than just the stock back. I swear that thing can be used as a non-stick baking sheet.

I highly recommend over other brands!

I was thinking of getting the BSE instead of the Zagg but I ended up getting the Zagg, huge price difference but in the past I've had better experience with Zagg. BSE is def. great though for the money.
Awesome pics too, looks like you did a great job applying it to the device.
The other day I spent like 3 hours searching for a anti-fingerprint screen protector.. There are so many that I don't know what to buy and juat when I thought I found the right one Immediatly found a bad review about it. Overall I think there aren't significant differences between them.. I am also a pretentious guy and I literally want the best quality I can get. If only there was some kind of exclusivist brand. Fingerprint free, clean looking, smooth touch.
Nice job Sugarmouth...you did it well. I ordered one too...
Wow great pics!
I have order one for me. price is very good
Just ordered 2 full skins. FYI they are having a Buy 1 Get 1 Free sale until the 31st!
Hey so there's no protection for the chrome rim around the phone? Is it easy to scratch anyways?
(I don't own an HD7)
The painted surface is very nice. It's very nice.

The kit comes with protection for the chrome areas, I just preferred to not install it.
So is this a thin hardcase, or is it one of those "you have to take pentazemin to ensure you don't **** up putting it on" kinda protector?

looks cool
you can get those cases for extremely extremely cheap on ebay. Even cheaper than that link, and I'm sure the quality won't be that much of a difference. I considered briefly getting it, but the lack of protection on the top and the bottom metal parts of the phone was the deal-breaker. Those parts I dent the most after all.
It looks good on the phone... but you have to remove it occasionally to wipe of the dust on the phone. The phone gets quite dusty because of the holes.

you can say it is thanks to the popularity of this forum and probably Wind Mobile
the XT720 was pretty much unknown before these 2 came together
that just shows you the power of XDA forum
I have yet to see anyone with a XT720 when I commute every day xD. Oh well, makes me feel that my phone is more unique.
This phone has become like a rare gem among bland and boring iphones everywhere. It IS the only phone out there with this shape after all, along with the XT701, XT711.
and the stainless steal matt finish.
Hey everyone,
Yesterday I received my sleeve/stand
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Faux-Leathe...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item3378898d52
I'm pretty happy about it and I think my search is done. The outside is padded pretty well. The only con is that the case is a bit stiff when you first receive it so it's a little bit hard to slip the Nexus 7 in and out. The stand functionality is also awesome; I don't need something bulky surrounding my device at all times. Here are some pics. Sorry about the bad quality.

Why'd it have to be velcro? This case would be perfect if not for that...
Anyways, thanks for the review... if the case I'm getting doesn't work out well, I'll consider going for one of these.
Is it possible to use the stand with the tablet at the lower angle for typing? From the pictures it looks like you can just flip the case over but I don't know if it will hold.
Another question, you say it's a tight fit at first but do you think there would be room for a N7 with a TPU case to fit into it?
Thanks interesting case. Does it feel cheap?

+1 Is there a low-angle setup, or just the one?
Also, how bulky is it? The ebay listing only mentions the interior dimensions, but is it going to be a huge bulky thing that I now carry around?
Thanks for the tip, this is the closest thing to a usable case that I've seen(other than the Flipsteady, which is exactly what I want but is too expensive). All I want, really, is a stand that's always with my Nexus.
Just wanted to let people know that I bought a neat case and wanted to let other people know about it. The Flipsteady Pro for the Nexus 7 is awesome, I did a full review of the case here and we are lucky enough to have NewPencil give one away too. There is also a discount code if you catch this after the giveaway.
Anyway, I hope I am not breaking any forum rules by linking off.

/Carlsberg voiceover - "Probably the ugliest case in the world"
Somebody posted about the iPad version of this case a few months ago, it's a shame they didn't make the N7 version look any better. It also fails at one of the most important things a case is meant to do - protect the device. The folding front cover is ingenious but even with that I can't see it generating many sales at $50 a pop.
I seen the company review this on you tube quite a while back... This to me is the ugliest cheap looking Unprotected Piece of leather and or what ever its made of..
why Put a case on the tablet at all if it provides absolutely no protection. Maybe they should call it fridge hanger/ stand. Its nor really a case is it .
I think they would have to pay me to Use one...
Sorry if this opinion is rude But i see no point in such a device. Thou some of the cases should come with a kickstand. It has that going for it..
ITS A Stand not really a case..
GLAD You like it yourself thou and nice review ..
No big deal, sorry you didn't like it.

As per the thread title, I'm looking for an iPhone style leather case (e.g. the official Apple one) that's just like a normal case (e.g. ringke/spigen slim), not a folio case.
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MGR62ZM/A/iphone-6-leather-case-black
Seems like the even with the second biggest phone in the world, the options are far inferior than when it comes to iPhones annoyingly.
This one just came out today. One of the first non-flip cases. :good:

Yeah I had seen that actually, just a bit too blingy/complex for my liking. Looking for simple brown leather but seems there's nothing out there right now.
Try storyleather dot com. I ordered mine last month and should be receiving it tomorrow. They are made to order. Will let you know how I like it after I get it. Good luck.
I got this: http://www.stilgut.com/galaxy-s6-edge-leather-case-cover-type-cognac.html
And it was all around cheap feeling. Not really thrilled with it.
i got this..http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YMSBWMQ
i have bought it last Monday, it seem like OK
I bought this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261912412...49&var=560744529063&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT quite nice
I was looking for one in real leather with nothing on the back really. Closest I'd seen was the Kavaj ones, but they also have a card slot on the back.
Just seen this which looks interesting. Plain, real leather, no over the top branding etc and also not very expensive.

Thanks for sharing!
