are you guys using anything to protect the apple logo? i'm thinking of ordering a carbon fiber back and the only thing putting me off the the possiblity of sticky residue and the apple logo getting scratch.
I was watching a utube video while the review put a piece of screen protector on the logo than put the film on but wasn't able to cause the screen protector bubble up.

Any input?

I think u watched my video.

I was actually, after a few attempts, to get a small piece of clear screen shield over the apple logo without it bubbling.

But there are a few other choices.

You could place a full body back skin, like Zagg, on the back first, and then place the carbon skin over it. Or use a colored skin, like one from Decal Girl and do the same. The good thing about using the colored ones is they stick to the back of the carbon skin and become essentially part of them. They can be removed and reapplied many times.

Larry where exactly did you pick up the Apple logo guard on the LL's site? I see their carbon backing and the Spectra wrap, but no Logo guard.

Also if I have a PowerSupport Crystal on the back of my phone now, I could just leave it on and put the Carbon backing over that, correct?
 
They now send an apple logo decal of the same color with every spectra wrap. I ordered two clear and one blue wrap and each one had a decal for the apple logo included. I did have the same residue issue mentioned above with the clear bezel wrap so I assume the apple decal might do the same. It would probably be easier to remove from the glass though.

I logo comes with the set of sides.
 
I got a 3 pack with the teal, lime green and red.

Teal was nice, but I took it off in favour of the red, which I then hated, haha
FYI teal left no residue, however the red did.. I ended up feeling they looked too tacky, so they are gone for now. If you be careful and pull them off slowly they are reusable :)
 
Teksure wood decal

Ok, I just got my wood decals in the mail today.

They're pretty decent quality. My only gripe is that the Apple logo cutout does not quite line up if you're also trying to line up the camera and flash holes. The good thing is that you can peel it up and stick it back down again with no adhesive residue and no damage to the decal, so you can relocate it if you're not happy with the placement.

I really dig the look of it. Here are some pics:

Dang. that looks great. kinda old-fashioned.
 
Just got my pink wrap for my wife's iphone. Did the Lucklabs pink sides and apple logo, white leather back from SGP and Ultra Clear front from SGP. Looks pretty good with and without the white leather.

Just ordered some luckylabs!!

Question to uk people, how long was shipping from order day?

Looks very nice, particularly with the black back. However, was the vinyl not cut right because it seems like there's a bit more of the band exposed than there should be.

Yea seemed like it could have been a bit longer. The top lined up perfectly but the side had some space. The volume buttons match right up so I'm not sure what else I could have done. I didn't want to stretch it to hard in fear of tearing it. Wife doesn't mind though. She's super happy.
 
Yeah that's fine the way it is. Just a minor detail and if the vinyls had stretched there's no way they would've fit the buttons right.
 
So i wanted to use these paired with a SGP carbon or leather back and crystal clear shield. My only worrys are:

1) how is the in and out of pocketness? Since these are vinyl stickers i would be worried about them starting to unstick after constant pocketing.

2) do these cure the antenna issue? right now i have gelaskins on it, and if i death grip even with the gelaskin sides, it still drops all the bars.

thanks!
 
Thanks for this. ordered a set of guards and both back covers! Not that I want to take off my bodyguardz protector, but it's nice to have options.

1. NO problems with going in and out of my pocket and i have the sgp cubed on the back with luckylabs around the phone...NO dust or loose decals

2. I can still make it lose a bar or 2 if i really try (never had reception problem) havent had a dropped call though.
