So I just bought some iPhone 4 Decal wraps from Lucky Labs. Heard about them from a co-worker and I have to rave about how awesome these are! I bought two packs, they come in 3 packs for $9.99. These wraps look AMAZING and also really helps the death grip issue while making your phone look unique. See pictures and link below!

It was a little tricky drunk a Monster energy drink before I got them in today... bad idea. lol :D If you have a steady hand it should be no problem. Only thing is I had to do the bottom again. its a great thing these come in 3 packs because if you pull them up you stretch the vinyl so I had to use another bottom piece.
 
My only problem with these is they don't go on perfectly. You can still see aluminum in random spots which makes it very noticeable with the color options. How was your experience?
 
Looks cool...

- How easy was the installation?
- What other colors did you get?
- Can we get some more pics of the other sides of the phone?

Thanks for the link

There is spots you can see aluminum mainly on the bottom the holes don't line up real well, but it's also the bottom of the phone so I'm not bothered by it. When viewing it from the front/back you can see a line of aluminum because it sticks out a bit, but it adds a cool look to it in my opinion. As for the lock button, Headphone, top microphone, volume, and lock switch they are all pretty close.

- Installation like I said before was easy, probably would have been easier without the energy drink making me shaky.
- I got 2 Orange, 2 Red, 1 Black, and 1 white. My co-worker is going to use the red I'll post pictures when he has done his iPhone 4.
- MOAR PICTURES!!!!!

Sorry for the low resolution using the web cam on my MacBook Pro. Don't have my droid on me at work.
 
The black looks good. Is that the Matte black or the Glossy? I'm thinking about getting the silver since that would be the closest to the actual look of the phone.
 
Pretty sure you can request either Glossy or Matte Black

Yea, I was just wondering which one he had on his phone in the pic. Doesn't matter anyway, I just ordered a matte black, glossy black and metallic silver. Hopefully they come soon!

The one in the pic is the "matte black". It is slightly shiny just because it is vinyl (similar to electrical tape). I also have the metallic silver and white. all for $9
 
Does it really help with the death grip issue though? The gaps are still exposed, technically speaking, couldn't the moisture from hands make its way into the gap and compromise the reception?

no change in death grip for me. But i'm not a "bar watcher". I don't give a crap if I get 2 bars instead of 4, as long as my phone doesn't drop the call!

Thanks. Any feedback from those that experience dropped calls or data degradation?
 
I just bought the metallic silver, hows the color compared to the sides of the iphone? I'm hoping it's a similar color.

similar but not the same. a quick glance and your phone will look "stock" but if you look close you can tell the color is different.

thanks very much for the pic - it looks great (much better than the bumper). Hope you're not putting a case over it. :)

No case for me unless I start getting dropped calls. As far as I know the bridging of the antennas in the lower left of the ip4 can't be corrected with tape or thin skins. They are not adequate insulators at that thickness.
 
To Thetonyclifton:

I see you use a Sena case. These edge wraps looks exactly what Wrapsol provides with their kits. Does it make it difficult getting them out of the Sena?
