Carbon Fiber Ghost Armor

So I was originally going to just get the screen protected, but since the guy was totally unprofessional at the local mall on the first attempt of the sale I contacted Ghost Armor and explained what had happened and they gave me 25% off so I splurged on the full armor.
My review:
The screen protector is very slick. Hardly any tackiness. I think there is a slight tint to the display, but nothing too drastic. I would say the orange peel is minimal for a durable protector. The two main things I look for on a screen protector specifically for a full touchscreen is the tackiness and smudging. This is very good on both. Slick swiping and smudges remove very easily.
Now many people are probably familiar with their brand of screen protectors, but many might not be too familiar with the carbon fiber body armor. I don't know if its a local thing as I live in Phoenix and Ghost Armor is located in Mesa, AZ, but I have yet to see it as an option on their website for the Nexus S. The main pitch the sales rep threw at me was that the matting would give me a little more texture for grip. There was a sample for looks, and it had a little texture to it. After being installed it is rather slick to the touch. Another thing I was worried about was the skin being applied with the Nexus S curves. After seeing the headache my mom had with Ghost Armor on her Palm Pre I was skeptical. I can say after a week of in the pocket the corners have held down very well. There is also a thin band that runs between the volume rocker/power button and the screen to give it a full complete look. It does look rather appealing in the end.
There is an added cost for the carbon fiber armor. I believe it is an additional $10. If you are looking for a more aesthetic appearance besides the normal clear armor and are willing to spend a few extra dollars, I think you will be satisfied. Other than the slick feel at first touch, but after being handled it does seem to settle once the phone is warmed by the hands.

Thought I would also post my Carbon Fiber keyboard too for fun.
I hope someone finds this useful as I didn't see anything for this product (especially pictures) in the forums when I was looking into it for my Nexus.

I pretty much had the exact same carbon fiber skin for my nexus s from zagg. At first, I thought it was awesome and all but after a while it loses its appearance. I was going for the carbon fiber texture that offers somewhat of a "grip" but over time it just feels like a smooth plastic.

I purchased this case for £6.95 form AMazon yesterday and it came today. I wanted a thin case that offers as much protection as it could, and I believe this is that case. THis case is listed as $35 on thier website, I just wanted to say I dont think that it is worth that much.
The case has a hard, plastic structure with a layer of Brushed Aluminum on the back. This gives it a cool touch and a very nice texture. All cutouts are very well aligned and I have had no issues with audio or pressing the volume or power buttons. The pogo pins are also exposed which is nice as this is the only case I know where they have allowed them to be open. Overall the case is very good very slim and offers quite a lot of protection.
THe negatives come in the way of the design though. The huge poetic logo on the back of the case (see images) may put some people off as well as the bottom and top silver plastic being exposed on the device. Also the case is not that grippy to hold. Meaning it is very slippy to hold and may fall out of your hand.
Great case at a great price.

Here's my video:

Great review man... does it provide any protection to the front? What I mean is if you put the nexus face down does the glass touch the surface at all?

Thanks for putting up the review. That has got to be one ugly case though. I want my branding to be mostly invisible. That one screams LOOK AT ME!!!!! :silly:

Just recently got my nexus and I've been looking for a new case. I just recently dropped my nexus on concrete and the top right corner the I guess bezel or the silver gray material came off. Am wonder ok by if this case would provide decent protection against such a fall

[REVIEW] GMYLE (TM) Black PU Leather Cross Pattern Slim Sleeve

As someone that isn't a fan of cases for devices and prefers the naked feel of the device but still wants protection for their tablet I went looking for a sleeve that I thought looked good and would give me some protection. So as a result, I ordered this sleeve on the 22nd of September and received it today (October 2nd). And I must say it is nice quality. While it is not real looking leather (one that you would find on a jacket or sofa), the quality of the sleeve is still nice and it doesn't look cheap at all. If anything, I would just classify it as a nice quality looking and feeling felt. I also did some tests by bending it and twisting it and there was no cracking of the material.
As you may or not be able to see from the picture below the only part of the tablet that is visible is the centre part of the tablet where the camera is located but that is just for convience to slide in and pull out the tablet.

I would upload more pictures but I think the pictures up on amazon do showcase it quite well and accurately but I thought that a picture of the quality of the material deserved a more closely looked at picture.
Here is the url for the sleeve, although if you were to look up the product on ebay you would find it for about half the price. I only got it from amazon because I had a gift card that I wanted to use and since its free money then why not right?

So all in all I really do like this sleeve and I apologize on the crappy review (it isnt my speciality) but I just thought it be something that people might be interested as an alternative to getting a case for their tablet. If there is something that I didnt cover that you would like to know about more then ask away and I should be able to answer it for you.

Thanks. I have had this one on my shortlist as I want a simple sleeve. It doesn't have any kind of a sleep magnet in it though does it? Do you find any problems with the device turning on while in the sleeve?

I can't see that being a problem, with the recessed button and the fairly stiff looking material of the case it's not likely to happen.

No there isnt any magnets in the sleeve. And no it doesnt turn on accidentally while in it. Although after a bit of testing of it, it is possible to press the power button through the sleeve. But I was trying to do it intentionally just now. If you are to just carry it around normally then I wouldnt suspect the power button being turned on by accident since the material is somewhat stiff.

Thanks. What's the inside like? The pictures look like smooth tan PU but wondering if it any kind of a softer or microfiber material.

Here is a picture attached. The material is white inside if the picture doesn't look white to you. And it feels a little more coarser and textured than a microfibre cloth I'm guessing to help from the tablet not slide out as easily. But with that said it is still smooth and won't scratch the screen if it doesn't have a screen protector on it.

Fake...spigen doesn't even carry those colors and don't make this case for g2...looked on official spigen site

Wish they did really make them, the cases are exactly what I wanted when I bought my current spigen. OP, if you order, let us know how it fits.

I had the neo hybrid and the slim armor for my s4...both were great cases that don't take the slim quality away...I ordered a new slim armor for g2.

I have the case for a few days. The quality is absolutely OK for the price. :good:
The bottom cutouts are as good as perfect. The upper cutouts are not quite as perfect, but ok.
The case fits very tightly on the phone making it, it is not easy to get off again.
The reverse, however, is in my eyes a little too thin which makes it a little bit loose on the backside cutout. This can easily get dirt between phone and case.
Therefore, I have the case now sold again. As original Spigen, it would surely be better processed and thus the perfect case, but unfortunately not so.
Here are some photos which I have made before the sale :

Sorry for my bad english, but is translated by google

So is thicker like the "slim" armor?

The silicone part (it looks too rough to be TPU) looks almost identical to that of the Slim Armor's in size and thickness along the back... and if it is silicone, it'll be loose and floppy. It'll be thinner than the Slim Armor by a mm or so on the back without the plastic shell. The frame seems to make it at least as wide AND tall as the Slim Armor, and maybe even a bit thicker/taller.

thanks for the pics mr PeWeBe

Unfortunately It doesn't accept paypal, so I will wait for ebay.

I´m going to buy the black&gold one.

This one is look like nice and hard

Review: Poetic Affinity Case

I receive products to review from various sellers. In every case, I provide a totally unbiased review to benefit those interested in these products.
Here are my thoughts that make this case unique:
- Highly protective case without the bulk of other cases in this category
- Case material is not tacky - slips into your pocket easily
- Textured design makes it easy to hold on to
- The buttons are covered, the covers are at the right height and the tactile response is precise
Compared to the Spigen Hybrid, a similar case, the Poetic Affinity is made of sturdier material, which makes it superior, IMO. When pressing the power button with the Poetic case on the Note 5, the case does not bend inward, lifting the screen protector, which happens with the Spigen. In addition, when using a swiping gesture that goes off the side of the display, the Poetic does not move, but the Spigen flaps a bit, which has an annoying feel.
The case that I tested is clear, which shows off the back of my Black Sapphire Note 5 very nicely. I think the black version would look more integrated, and less like a "case" - but that's a matter of taste.

I was also given this case and your review are my exact thoughts... it's definitely far superior compare to other similar clear cases in this price range that I currently own, like Obliq, iBason, Ringke and Ulak.
What I like best of the cases is how tectile the buttons still feel and after few days I still don't have any scratches unlike the other cases I named.
With that said this is the extent of my review... As this is the third thread on this case I've read. Was it necessary for us to create new threads for each review?
I rather just keep them all in one thread

Agreed. Makes sense to keep reviews all in one thread going forward.
So, I invite any other reviewers of this case to add their thoughts here.

Just Came Today Feels Smooth and feels very Tough and has good grip will see how it goes in a few days, so far i'm liking it!

My thoughts on it -

Like the case... Only gripe is after using it for 3 days the dye from my jeans is stuck on the case.

Yeah the same thing here, I think the one with the black edges would work better for me since the clear corners are turning blue from my jeans.
