Hi guys,
I am looking for matte skin back protector for G2, do you know where I can buy it?
Xtreemguard is good but it is shiny and fingerprints magnet.
Thanks in advance.

Skinomi has a set that comes with one. Pretty good. Back is a real pain for install because of the long radius on the back.... I ended up having to gently use my heat gun...
I bought an exoskin that came in yesterday. Haven't had a chance to put it on yet but I go the 3M Di-Noc back that looks like carbon fiber. Matte and has some texture for more grippiness.
I got the Poetic Pallette, it's not a skin but it is skinny, about 1.5mm thick. Matte black with rubberized texture,feels really good. J just barely wraps around the front edges and open at the top and bottom.very light.

Me too. The Poetic Pallette is great. Has a great soft touch feel and protects the rear without adding bulk.
I just ordered a carbon skin from Bodygaurdz. Had 1 on my old optimus g.

I put the Zagg full body screen and back protector on my Tmob G2.
It gives a better grip than the polymer back, no fingerprints and has a nice matte finish.
You can see the shiny part near the flash and lens where the Att mic hole would be.
The details of the back with the lines are still there with no shine.
Can't believe anyone hasn't recommended the Diztronic TPU case. It's great. I feel like it would protect from drops very well. Alot better than that of the Poetic Palette anyways.

I have the Exoskins black carbon fiber back and its pretty sweet. Much better than the naked back but it is still a bit slippery but it has some texture for more grippy-ness when you're actually holding the phone.
I did a review with pictures of the black carbon fiber exoskin in this accessories section if anyone is curious. I also have the dizitronic case, but I like the look and feel/texture of the exoskin so much that I'm rocking my g2 with no case. The corners will never line up completely perfectly, but that doesn't bother me personally and other people will not be able to tell unless they are looking for it.

What cases do you guys have on your G4's? I'm yet to buy one and unsure which to buy.
I was looking at this one, anyone else got it? Any good?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Spigen®-METALLIZED-BUTTONS-Protective-Premium/dp/B00UMDOYZC
Thanks
There is no "best case". The best case is the one YOU like. You might want to look in the accessories section theres a ton of threads already http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/accessories
That case is great. I got a spigen crystal clear slim case. Before phones were even officially announced. Fits over leather. And you can still see it.
Checked other forums but didn't see the Accessories forum, my bad. Thanks both!!
Ive got the cruzerlite in black and i love it...Had it on a few other phones as well and i love the design and tight fit. Not sure if it works with the leather version tho

Caseology Envoy Series here
I don't usually keep a case on but felt the need to since I have no warranty nor can get insurance.
I have the black plastic back G4 BTW. It's sturdy, not heavy and believe it will protect from a drop. Fits my tempered glass screen protector. Leather feels premium, hopefully it lasts lol. Raised front lip is minimal and is a soft rubber, to hold in place when face down I guess?
I was gonna get the carbon fiber one but this red looked too much fun, like iron man lol
Sent from my LG-H815
That's the case I have for my G4. Doesn't add much bulk and the back has a nice texture that adds some grip. I posted some pics of it on my G4 here on imgur.
Cae that fits leather back
I just received this case and it's awesome. Fits with leather back also (T-Mobile, Brown)

I got the same case love it except is there a trick to get the case off easily... The battery door always comes off with it and is still extremely hard to take off.

I have yet to encounter this issue so I can't say there's a trick to removing. I usually just start pulling it off from one of the corners and working my way to the next corner. Are you using a leather back?
Sent from my LG G4
I have the Spigen case that the OP linked to. Great case. Most Spigen's are. The only drawback to that case is that it takes the sexy back of the G4 and just makes it black. I currently have this one on my phone.
http://www.amazon.com/Case-Verus®-V...d=1434571696&sr=8-1&keywords=lg+g4+verus+case
Looks and protects great but the hole for the buttons on the back is pretty deep so you really have to press your finger in there to get to the buttons.
Incipio DualPro here. Had one on my G2, figured just stick with the same here.
I just picked up a Case-Mate Naked Tough for my leather backed T-Mobile version. It seems durable and I like that it is transparent.

I bought the Quick Circle case, Ringke Slim, and a generic Carbon Fiber. I like them all but I'd have to say the Ringke Slim is my favorite. Light protection and great feel to it. Heres a picture of the new Carbon one. Not too bad.
did you try our our product ?
it is high end leather , but maybe expensive to you
I use the Spigen Exact Fit case. Slight slimmer and not bulky.
http://www.amazon.com/Spigen®-Exact-Fit-Premium-Compatible-LEATHER/dp/B00UMDPR4O
I have the Mint color. Looks amazing with my white back.
I have that case. Love it! Like the texture on the back.

Hi guys, I'm going to buy a carbon skin for my g4, tired of bulky cases. I already know dbrand, but never buyed anything. Slickwraps is new for me, the price is the same 19$ and it also has side and power button protection, but the price is for complete package (front, rear, side) and I only need rear and maybe side (11$ on dbrand but without side and power button). Someone already tried these skins for his g4?
You have a Dbrand review right in this forum page.

I have used both dbrand and Slickwraps before.
Honestly both are nice but dbrand seemed to always have better aligned cutouts.
Before the fake accounts come rushing in we suggest giving us a peek.
Not only do we have have the best warranty we stand 100% behind our products.

Is it really a question?! Slackwraps sux DBRAND RULZ
(And no, this is not a fake account. You guys just don't have dbrand's swag.)
I have bought two dbrand skins for my G4 (wood and carbon fiber) and love them. They both look and feel great. Unfortunately I can not say anything about slickwraps because I never tried them. But I can definitely recommend dbrand.

Both are nice.
I have used both brands quite a few times and can honestly say that either is worth the small price they ask.
I do think dbrand has slightly better aligned cutouts, but slickwraps cutouts are not bad at all.
@slickwraps if you want to change my mind send me one of your skins to test and I will put up a review for it.

3 colors of Carbon Fiber. Thats original.
pre ordered my skins a while back, went for red & black carbon fiber, curious about the white marble & dragon skin tho, cant wait for them to release the green carbon fiber skins
here is a link if you're interested:
https://dbrand.com/shop/samsung-galaxy-note-8-skins
on a glass phone its pretty much a no brainer, adds grip, protects from scratches, hide smudge marks, helps you locate the fingerprint scanner - whats not to like?
has anyone else pre ordered? what did you get?

Probably ordering a few... I have a dbrand dark wood skin for my S8+ and love it. I might try it the lighter wood for my Note 8
Thanks for the link...definitely going to try the metal..
Hyperblack Titanium all the way around, on a Orchid Grey. Very elegant executive look.

If you've applied screen protectors before then it's way easier as you don't need to look out for dust fibers, just small grains that may cause lumps, plus you can take it off and stick it back on again as long as you're careful
They provide video tutorials for each device they sell skins for.
They do front skins too but I'm not a huge fan of them
These skins by dbrand are the best! They are very thick and protect well. I just took the one off my note 5 which I bought as soon as it came out, and it is brand new looking now. The skin also came off slowly but cleanly, with no need to clean after removing. Also look for xda packs they offer at special prices.

Whatever you do, Dbrand is fine. Just don't order anything from Slickwraps....worst service I ever experienced.
I've had a dbrand skin on ALL of my past phones during at least one point or another and always go back to them. Will be ordering the Black Dragon skin because I have never tried this one yet(but looks cool) and the Hyperblack Titanium just in case I don't like the Dragon skin.
I had the Dragon Skin for Samsung s8+, looks nice, but like other posters say it's pretty easy to put on. A quick YouTube and you'll have a bunch of videos to help you.
Got the Black Dragon skin with a Red Carbon Fiber accent.
Excited to see it in-person!

Are DBRAND skins waterproof ?
How is it putting on case and removing case with a dbrand skin? Does it thicken the phone in anyway. Does makes it hard to remove or put on case?

depends on the case, i use the ringke fusion and generic tpu cases and theyre flawless, i dont think the ultra thin snap-on cases would play well with the skin but the skin is very thin

So if they don't have problems with water, can I still clean the phone without any issue ? Because I usually use cotton and alcohol

SlickWraps Alcantara Charcoal color!
I've been a dBrand user for the longest time and didn't even know this Alcantara and their Natural Leather series (which uses real alcantara and leather material to make the skins) existed. This has to be the best feeling skin there is!
Only thing negative about these is their price... got mine on black friday 60% off. They have 50% off this week also.

Looks pretty slick, how is the thickness of the alcantara skin compared to other skins you've used in the past?
I have Samsung's Black Alcantara case and I do like it, I just prefer the phone to be naked with a thin skin so this would be a good aternative
Brought this one from Easyskinz.com
It's there "GLOSS JET WHITE Skin"
It sticks well and is easy to apply but I would of liked a bit more of a shiny white. There's not really a texture to it either just feels like a sticker.
(It does come with camera, front, side cutouts too)

It's pretty thick so you won't be able to use a case on top of it, i don't like to use cases so this is perfect. It gives you alot of grip, the edges kinda feel sharp but i think over time they will soften up.
They're on sale and today is the last day i think.

As far as the bubbles, it's not that bad. I like it. But for the price slickwraps charges, I would not pay full price for it. Just seems a bit much to me for something like this. I was real hesitant to buy it at first but I saw they had a cyber Monday half off deal. So I said sure why not. Gimme a bit and I'll post some pics.
Here's some photos. Aren't the best quality. Were taken with a Nexus 6. As you can see, the bubbles. Those damn bubbles...

Take a needle to the bubbles to pop them, the skin will recover from hole you create when you pop them. Just be careful not to poke too hard.

The vinyl sticker can handle a lot. When you do pop it smooth it out to push any air that is trapped. If you are careful when you pop the bubble it will help.

btw take note of this:

apparently both slickwraps and dbrand have been caught brigading on reddit (downvoting any negative comments regarding their products, bad mouthing each others products, shilling, etc)
slickwraps is the worst offender it seems since they have low quality products + shipping issues

i wouldn't pop those bubbles. they'll actually disappear over time. I once put a wrap on and hated the bubbles and wanted to tear it off right away but left it on over night and a lot of the bubbles disappeared. After 4 days or so they all disappeared.

Yea I tried on one big bubble I had and it didn't feel right sticking a needle to the back of my phone. I haven't messed with it and it seems to have gotten a lil better over time. I actually like the rhino and skin combo. Looks good.
