Anyone opt for a wrap instead of a case? Since I'm not a fan of cases, got some quality wraps for my iPhone 5's. Red carbon fiber/Red Matte on Black and White leather/ Red Matte on White.

What kind/ Colors is anyone else using?

Looks interesting. How many different pieces are there for the sides of the iPhone?
 
Pocky,

In other threads with the SGP matte back, there seem to be bubbling around the raised apple logo and iPhone text. Did you not experience that?

I have no issue with that. It might be cause the white on silver is not as apparent vs the black and slate phone. I will try to snap some photos and post up more.

My iPhone wraps finally arrived from Sticker Boy. The film is perfectly cut and super easy to install. I am still waiting for my iPhone replacement (scratches) so I won't install that until Monday.
My wife wanted to try something crazy and fun. This is her results. The front is an SGP Ultra Crystal (perfectly cut too and easy to install as well).



Those cutouts look great. I wish they made them in clear.
 
I asked sticker boy for the extreme fit with those individual holes for the speakers, but instead i asked if they had anything close to hunting camo. One week later this is what i had purchased.

Sick! Is that chrome? Looks like chrome around the sides too?

My white.is coming in 2 weeks time. Is this the sgp matte clear skin?
I really hate cases so I think I will go with this. It looka really nice
 
I ordered from iCarbon, red is my favourite colour, but I'm not sure I like the look of the combination, might change the rear top and bottom to black and leave the red apple logo. Or go with the clear centre. Too many choices!
There is a bit of a 'bump' on the side from where the sticker was folded in half for shipment :/
Pictured with my $3 eBay bumper.

I really like the look of the matte centre, and the ones pictured from sticker boys... but I think I've spent enough money on skins in the last month, lol :)

Carbon iPhones

read this thread during Superstorm Sandy and wanted to do something to compliment the Sector 5 that's being built for my 5 so I spoke to Jared of Carbon iPhones and decided to try something insane, glow in the dark. I initially just wanted to do the sides of the 5 but the strips are slightly to thick for the SwitchEasy nude case (now cracked at the power button, time for something else temporarily) so I installed the back film.......... glad I did.
This thing GLOWS in the dark. The Lume is amazing; it glowed bright for about 40 minutes then began to dim out but still was visible.

The tape makes the phone look white in daylight, not off green which is cool. I'm very happy with the results, I purchased Lucky Labs also and they both came today but I found Carbon iPhones application much easier to install.

Here's a few pics.

Felt nice to support a fellow NY'er. Carbon iPhones is located in one of the worst hit areas of Superstorm Sandy, the fact that Jared was able to get these out to me was kinda cool considering all the turmoil going on over there across the bridge...
 
I highly recommend Gelaskins. I don't have one on my phone, but I've used them on a ton of devices and always been very happy.

Adaptation LA also offers glow in the dark wraps.

I have luckylabs skins, and although a little painstaking to put on, they look and fit good.

I loved the one I had on my iPhone 4.. but they do shrink after prolonged usage, even if only slightly. My back skin went from edge to edge to about 1mm in on each side. :/

This looks great, I imagine this would help you covertly take a call while out hunting and would not alert any prey as to your activity.

I can see this having a potential military application.

That's true. I actually totally forgot about that. I don't know if it would be as bad on the iPhone 5 since it has an aluminum back. I had one on my iPhone 4 and they said it was shrinking because of the glass back. They sent me a new one free of charge anyway so I was pretty happy.
 
Here is my sticker boy gold mid-back and sides and glow in the dark glass pieces.
I didn't realise I could request an Apple logo sticker, so I have some random Apple sticker that doesn't fit properly. It's not really aligned right even though the rest of the back skin is. Oh well, I'll try to ignore it.
I really like the look and texture of the sticker, it does make it slightly thicker so may not fit in cases properly. I've been using my phone

Better angle of the Apple.

My camera doesn't catch the right colour though.

Any deals/coupons for Sticker Boy? Seems like they have the best for what I'm looking for, which is a completely naked look with matte back.

Well, black friday is on the corner, so lets hope for some great deals!
