Goodgoobetywoo!!! I think i'm in love

This review i'm gonna do the opposite of all the others I've done and give my final thought at the beginning. This cover is sick! I have the Marble White phone so this cover is perfect for it, it fits like a glove with all the edges lining up perfectly, the cutouts are spot on and unlike the brushed aluminum cover I recently got it doesn't add any bulk...this is based on the fact that my Fosmon TPU case fits just like it did with the stock cover on. With the brushed aluminum cover on, my Fosmon case didn't fit...I was able to cram in into my Incipio but it was like a fat kid wearing skinny jeans. I highly recommend this cover, NFC works with it even with my TPU case on over it.

Alright, back to business...

Packaging:

It comes in an unassuming padded yellow envelope and inside it was packaged very well to endure the bumps and bangs of being shipped from Korea to California. Once you open the envelope inside was a piece of cardboard folded in half and taped shut, inside the cardboard was the cover, wrapped in bubble wrap with a piece of high density foam on the underside of the cover to help prevent the cover from bending much during shipping. It was nice to see them take such measures on the packing of the cover to ensure it made it's journey safely and in once piece. Once you got past all the packing material you were left with the cover, in a plastic sleeve and a note of thanks from the seller that asks for good feedback as well and is hand signed.

Fit and Finish:

Absolutely stunning! The first thing I noticed is how nice the carbon fiber looked and how well integrated it was into the cover. I fully expected it to look as if they just took a carbon fiber inlay and just glued it down. None of that here! The CF mates up very nicely along the bezel of the cover and fits the curvature of it like spandex on a big booty. The other pleasant surprise was just how nice the "Galaxy S III" logo looked...in the pictures I had seen on the ebay link, it looks grey/silver to me, it's actually chrome and it's perfectly embedded into the carbon fiber. The bezel of the cover is gloss white and matches the white on the phone perfectly. The only bad thing I can say about this cover is that the cutout for the speaker is not as precise or perfect as the rest of the case. The whole middle of the cover is carbon fiber, where the cutouts are for the camera/speaker/flash is as well but they are bordered in the gloss white plastic. The flash and camera openings are perfect but the speaker opening isn't quite....the carbon fiber inlay just looks like the corners of that opening were cut ever so slightly too wide, not rounded enough so there is a bit of daylight in the corners. Keep in mind I have borderline schizophrenic OCD, what I just described 99% of people won't notice or care about but i'm just being honest in my review and observations.

Functionality:

As sexy as my brushed aluminum battery cover was, it interfered with NFC and ended up significantly degrading wifi and mobile data signal strength when not close to the source (router or cell tower). Not only that, but it also added a tiny bit of girth too, enough to where my Fosmon case would not fit and my Incipio had to be "convinced" to fit. With this carbon fiber cover on it fits perfectly into both cases and didn't take any "convincing" to do so, it's as if the stock cover were on. NFC works just as well no matter if the phone is in a case or not, even in the Silicrylic Dual Pro. And most important, signal strength is back to normal levels (same levels as with the stock cover on) for both Wifi and mobile data.

I have never been a fan of bumper cases but this cover is so damn sexy that I have to show it off so i'm going to order a TPU bumper case for it, something that will add very little bulk yet add some drop protection while showing off the sexiness that is my white carbon fiber battery cover. :cool:
