Ultra Cheap Setup...

Rocko1 · Jan 24, 2012, 12:45 PM

This setup cost me $5. Both items bought on ebay. $3 for the carbon fiber skin(3M backing) and $2 for the Apple clone bumper. I would say not bad for five bucks.

Have never been a huge fan of putting any type of skin on the front of the phone but the back looks great with the bumper, can't beat the price either! Is the carbon fiber textured or is it just smooth? Which bumper on ebay is that btw?

Yeah, me neither. I had this sitting in a drawer and said what the heck. I mainly bought the skin for the side protection-the bands tend to get scratched form my cases. There is a texture to the skin.

This is the same case, but at the time I got one for $2 shipped.

I bought this bumper case off amazon for $2.20 shipped

I'm really digging the clear plastic, lets the steel bands show through. Lots of people don't realize I have a case on my phone.

Yeah, I was torn between the clear one and solid black. Both are nice. The clear would be good with the carbon fiber sides also.
