I had Ghost Armor on my Gnex and loved it. I don't want to go back to a case, so I've been looking around for protective skins for the SIII. I'm not interested in screen protectors, just full body skin protection.

OK, just gonna keep the thread going by myself. :cool:

Found Zagg has a listing, but its not available yet...

http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Great! I use Zaggs in the past and I have no issues :)

Keep it Classy, Cali.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BoostedSR20:
A full body skin? I have no interest in the screen protector.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
I have used them in the past. Can't decide if I want the screen protection or not.

Keep it Classy, Cali.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BoostedSR20:
Looked at Zagg again to see if it was available yet... still not. But the price went from $24 to $12. Odd?

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Wond3r:
Does anyone else find that the full body clear skins always end up peeling at the edges, especially with rounded/curved phones (like the s3)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BoostedSR20:
The Ghost Armor on my Gnex actually held up really well.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ash99:
Ive got a Flexishield on mine:

http://www.mobilelinuxnews.com/2012/05/review-flexishield-case-samsung-galaxy-s3/
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BoostedSR20:
That's a case, not really a skin.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] laztpn0i:
Phantomskinz chromatics skins are pretty good. They don't have any for the GS3 yet. But I got the carbon fiber look about two years ago for my HTC Glacier and it looked and held up pretty good. Installation was a little tricky, but its worth it IMO.

http://phantomskinz.com/Chromatics-2.aspx
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BoostedSR20:
Sweet... Looking at it now. I've heard to many scary things to consider Zagg. And I'm thinking Ghost Armor doesn't do any international devices...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lunercrab:
I purchased this one. Not sure if I'll like it or not. But the silver carbon fiber looked good on my transformer tablet.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] BoostedSR20:
Looking at that now.... doesn't look too bad.

Also, Zagg is available now.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BoostedSR20:
Ok, I updated the OP....
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Hotobu:
The best thing about some of these

The price? nope

The designs? nope

The protection? nope

Reading the descriptions and imagine you're looking at a condom ad.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BoostedSR20:
heh heh.. "Because sometimes you NEED ArmorSuit MilitaryShield"
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gadgetz:
I just got a text from xtremeguard confirming not only a screen protector (skin type) but also a full body skin as well. I know what I'll be getting for my SGS3;) Their webite has them for $5 and $10 shipped in the US. I got mine for my A2 off amazon for $2 shipped, gonna check there first :)

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/XtremeGuard-...816046?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item35bcdc39ee

That is very tempting at that price!

The full body especially, but I dont think the slim hard back case would fit with it so I might just get the screen

I have read that after over a year the glue can turn yellowish
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gadgetz:
Thanks for the links. XG is kind of slept on but im glad I took a chance on them cause I like the product and for sure love the price.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Wond3r:
I read that after over a year the glue can start turning yellowish
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gadgetz:
I cant confirm or deny that....I've had my XG on my A2 since November and all is well. But either way, they only cost $5 and have a lifetime warranty.

via Atrix 2/VictoryROM/XDA app
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Wond3r:
It says 60 day warranty, not a year?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gadgetz:
Wow, I could have sworn it used to be lifetime :confused: But even still, most of us are done with our phones in a year or two anyway so even if you had to buy another after a year, you'd still be spending less than if you bought a Zagg :cool:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BoostedSR20:
By that time you will be trading for an SGSIV ? :)

XO Skins is shipping the Europe version

XO's Facespace:

The Europe version of the Samsung Galaxy S III is shipping now! http://xoskins.com/cell-phone-skin-...rs/samsung-galaxy-s-3-screen-protector-europe

I didn't know there was a difference. I wonder if Samsung is going to do different versions for the US like they did with the sgs2 Anyway, I love their stuff, no orange peel, I have a long review on it for my gnex in my sig
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BoostedSR20:
They don't appear to have full body skins?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] LeviathanPT:
Would be nice if the OP could make a poll with all the available brands and let people vote which one they prefer.

I never used these kind of shields (O2X) never needed them since the screen holded my nails over it without a scratch but now the GS3 is scaring me a little with all the comments going around and i dont know which ones are the best.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BoostedSR20:
The purpose of this thread wasn't for screen protection, I don't use that. Its for full body protection.

I can make a poll though...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BoostedSR20:
Added Skinomi to the OP...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] LeviathanPT:
Hmm whats the diference between these and the screen protectors, material wise ?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] snOwjAwk:
waiting to get some more available!

sj
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BoostedSR20:
Not really anything if you get a clear one. But you can also get matte finish, and all kinds of other finishes. (like carbon fiber)

Look at my photos in the OP.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Bukem75:
I'm waiting for DecalGirl.com to make theirs. They will even custom cut theirs if you ask.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1Android:
For those of you who have had a full skin. I am VERY careful with my phones. I have only dropped a phone of mine twice and it was very minimal and didn't do any damage to the case I was using. (case mate barely there) I have used the barely there case for a couple phones now and love it. it is minimalistic and protects from minor drops and is more for preventing scratches to the back and side. Do you think the full skin such as ghost armour would be a good option or do you think the barely there case is a better option that is also mininal but has a better insurance than a full skin? i like the idea of the full skin on the S3 because it is a sexy phone and covering it up with a case just seems wrong.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BoostedSR20:
In the couple of months I had my Gnex with Ghost Armor, it kept it perfect and held up perfectly. I never drop phones though. That being said I have seen friends drop phones in cases and still get damaged. Then the same case that's protecting the phone leaves tons of scuffs on the sides. It's a trade off.

I basically determined that I'm careful enough, and a skin protects enough to make it worth it. For me, putting a case of any kind on these new, thin, awesome looking phones just sucks. The skin adds no thickness, and adds just enough extra grip.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gadgetz:
Yep, that's what happens when you use those little rinky dink snap together plastic cases. Thow that bad boy in an Otterbox and you can play hockey with it and it'll be fine....unless you whack the screen itself.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BoostedSR20:
Oh yeah I absolutely agree. And I also refuse to make my $700 device look like toy hockey puck that you would give to a 3yr old.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gadgetz:
Haha, I hear you. This doesn't look like a hockey puck and should go nicely with your pebble blue GS3 ;)

[Galaxy S III Accessories] tankos:
Not sure what you think of these from bestskinsever.com. Had them on my iphone a couple of years ago and thought they were pretty good. Only $4.99 too! :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BoostedSR20:
I'll try to get the OP updated tonight.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zmore:
Gelaskins provide ZERO grip, though. They're just overpriced anti-scratch stickers.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] p0rkguy:
Is Phantom Skinz my best choice for carbon fiber in white. Does it cover the whole thing? Like the capacitive buttons. I want it to look fully carbon fiber'd out excluding the screen.

Most of the other covers seem to be too lazy to actually put an exact size hole for the physical buttons.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] LeeHsiaoLung:
which is a better sgp? ultra clear or oleo?

tia.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ohamn:
Hi BoostedSR20!

I actually saw a full body Zagg kit in my local store in Sweden!

AND, I live in a small ****hole of a "city". :D

Wasn't too expensive either, about 23 € or 29 $

Lets see if that's what I'm going for in the end!! :rolleyes:

// Ohamn
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Toss3:
Just placed an order with Skinomi for the full body Ultra Clear protector. Using the "get25"-promotional code I got it for 20$ including shipping to Finland. ;) Bought a skinomi protector for my SGS2, and it was simply the best screen protector ever(much, much better than Zagg's!). Using a Copter one now and it isn't the best(colors look weird).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] desireboss:
Do any of these full body skins provide a real nice grippy surface?

My S3 feels like a bar of soap at the moment, so slippy!

I dont want to add a case as it is already huge, but just want a more grippy surface.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BoostedSR20:
The carbon fiber Ghost Armor did.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] asphaltkiller:
phantom skinz is available

http://phantomskinz.com/samsunggalaxysiii.aspx

I saw some full body guard are made from 2 pieces (minimal protection) some of 4 pieces and others 6 could users who have bought them post pictures to see which one offers the best protection ( % of the device covered especially the edges)

2 pieces http://www.xtremeguard.com/Samsung-...n-Protector-p/galaxy_s_3_screen_protector.htm

4 pieces http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php

Many thanks in advance

XtremeGuard vs Skinomi TechSkin vs SGP Flex HD screen protectors.

Anyone tried more than one of these and can share the experience ?

I have the XtremeGuard and I don't like it very much, because of the sticky feeling when you slide your finger on it. I wish it was more smooth (glass like) than it is.

I want a screen protector that covers the whole screen, and will be as smooth as possible... can someone recommend on one ?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] asphaltkiller:
any updates folks?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] komugi:
Bought some from best skins ever. Seems like they're the only one with real full body coverage. I had it for my iPhone, it was fairly decent
[Galaxy S III Accessories] JayGoat:
I just got my Skinomi Clear skin and I think they have their design wrong for the battery cover skin. However, I don't have my phone yet as I'm on Verizon in the US. But the skin seems to have an extra pin hole sized cutout above the LED cutout. It looks like it would be for a 3rd microphone but as far as I've seen in pictures, this isn't there. Can anyone confirm?

Attached are some pictures to show what I'm talking about.

Hey guys. I just found a Phantom Skinz coupon code for 50% off. Use the code galaxys3. I just bought a full white carbon fiber and a wood grain for the price of 1. Cheers.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1SiK1500:
Which one is a low gloss finger resistant matte finish? I saw a review around here some place and cant recall which one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ilordvader:
Hello

are all these for Universal SGS3 ?

or which US phone company S3 i need to get

or it will fit mine in India

we dont get Full body skin here :(

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BoostedSR20:
I would imagine you can use them on any model S3, they all look like they haven't been changed.

I've been dealing with issue on my phone (getting a new one actually) so I haven't made time for this thread. I'll try to update it this weekend.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cowvin:
Will the full body protector mess up if I remove the battery cover?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BoostedSR20:
No, they are cut to fit the back cover...

Phantom Skinz shipping is horribly slow
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ekjl:
Funny, I was just going to come in here to give Phantom Skinz some bad word.

They sent a confirmation email WITHOUT tracking number. In the email it tells you how to track the package but no where in the email they give you a tracking number.

Secondly, I paid the extra shipping cost to have it shipped 1-3 days. It's now been 5 days. They shipped it Monday, so I should have got it THIS WEEK! Now I have to wait til next week.

I sent them an email, so we'll see what they have to say.

As of now,

DO NOT ORDER FROM PHANTOM SKINZ!!!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] konman795:
The Best Skins Ever has great coverage. It covers everything including the sides.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] npompei:
Really? Mine came pretty darn quick, I didnt go with the faster shipping as Verizon S3 wont come out until like fall...

[Galaxy S III Accessories] stumanroo:
How well does the Gelskin protect? does anyone know?

I like the idea here due to the fact I can create my own design...but how do they hold up in comparison to all the big dogs who are Protection #1?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] konman795:
Here's a picture of all the cutouts of how the full body from Best Skins Ever looks You can see it's cut pretty much perfectly and covers the whole back and sides.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ferris2375:
I sent them an email as well. Telling them how almost ALL the other skin companies have gotten me my product in about 3 days, I ordered the 22nd and I'm still waiting. Total BS. They use some stupid UPS to USPS shipping method which seems to take unnecessarily long. Put the **** in an envelop and send it out, simple.

Very annoyed with Phantom Skinz at the moment. I would suggest looking elsewhere if you are in any kind of hurry for your stuff. Luckily I got some other skins that came faster. Annoying.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jutley:
I have all ways used best skins ever and they are the best i have used just ordered 25% now
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mariotme:
U have a 25% coupon?

Phantom Skinz Matte

Before:

After:

Feels ok and adds grip. No fingerprints. The sheen on the blue has really grown on me, when you see the metallic lines on it, just looks cool. The matte finish hides that which kind of sucks.

Looking forward to slapping the non branded back on, just don't like seeing the AT&T logo maaan. I may go back to matte but not sure, it's such a beautiful phone to cover up.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] titans1187:
The matte finish looks awesome on the back. I work at a sprint store and we got the dry apply Zagg Invisible shields and the back is actually a matte finish compared to the wet install you get from their website directly. I really like the matte finish on the white back, it comes out really nice.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] babydo:
I was also wondering about Gelaskins; a previous poster claimed they gave no grip, but I read other reviews and they seemed to acknowledge that there WAS grip, albeit a 'unique' pattern or something. Does anybody else have input on Gelaskin skins? Thanks~
[Galaxy S III Accessories] themat:
Really tempted to order one of the full body Ghost Armor skins. Not sure on colour or anything though!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] themat:
Just went to order a skin from Ghost Armor and its $20 shipping to the UK! :eek:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pandaprincess:
Does anyone know how Ghost Armor is compared to SGP Incredible Shield?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mobilehavoc:
I have it on my white GS3...I only used the back skin and the sides. The front ones I threw out because I wanted the front to be completely white. It DOES add grip, I love it. Adds some style to the phone while making it easier to hold. It peels off and reapplies super easy. Love it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nickb99NZ:
I am outside the US (New Zealand) and wanted a matte full body skin, Working my way through the list Bestskinsever were the best option, $11.99 + $2.99 postage. Several companies don't offer a matte finish. The two that did were going to cost $40-$50 including postage. Too much for a skin...

[HTC EVO 3D] zadias:
Hey! So being the idiot I am I have the VM firmware.

Now tell me, if I do the steps to go back to the sprint firmware, would I lose my root, and become S-ON?

To my understanding it places me at 1.5 hboot, which is not a problem as long as it stays S-OFF.
[HTC EVO 3D] fusiondynamics:
If i'm not mistaken. Doing that will still leave you with VM.
[HTC EVO 3D] zadias:
It will still say "Virgin Mobile" in the lock screen but it would be running on Sprint radios. In this case, I would simply do some hex editing of some sort. But what I want are the Sprint radios and firmware..
[HTC EVO 3D] flomexico:
It will leave you on HBOOT 1.5 S-OFF with an unrooted stock ROM.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] simplicityy:
Is there a way to cancel an SMS during sending? I used to be able to go to the outbox and stop the message before it sent (Accidental, bad message, sent to wrong person, etc). However, I can't seem to do that on this phone. Is there any mod or app that can allow me to possibly long press a message while it's sending and cancel the sending? (I get ****ty reception where I'm at, so it usually takes a couple seconds before the message sends).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TiCaLuVeR:
Why don't you try selecting the message as its sending and when the menu pops up you hit "delete". Usually works for me when sending mms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] simplicityy:
I tried that. Sometimes it works, but sometimes it still goes through. Also, sometimes I don't necessarily want to delete the message, but rather edit it, especially if it's a long message :l
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
Haven't gone through that yet so don't know but that's the reason I always type the body content and do fill in the recipient last.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dschreiber69:
Handcent has an option to confirm before sending.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MotoMudder77:
doesnt take long at all to send a sms message. but if you do delete it before it goes through, it will get canceled. But only have a limited time. Cant edit or delete a message thats already sent/recieved.

Quick fix: Dont be so fast to hit the "send" button :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ChocolateSnow:
Go SMS pro also has the same feature. Let's you confirm before sending a message. I'd recommend moving to that or handcent if you wanna be in more control of your SMS app. Plus the ability to swap themes on the fly is always nice too :D
