(Avail in Leather now!) Carbon-fiber panel sticker for Blade in White/Black

[Guest john.smith]

Here's a brief report on the actual usage (with my white OSF):

1. Problem: Being white is a beauty but also a headache, the lint from jacket will stick around the edges

2. Solution: The maker said it's best to use citric-based cleaner to remove the lint, but I just use alcohol

3. Problem: The skin at a corner peeled off once when I take out my OSF out of the tight jeans

4. Solution: Use the hairdryer to heat up the corner, press it and it's back to normal.

5. Personally I really like the skin being a lot slimmer than a silicon/ clip-on case but still with some sort of protection. However, some extra effort is needed in keeping this unique textured skin in shape.

6. He got a black skin in hand and it looks so much cooler, and I guess less lint-sticking issue also.

7. He claimed the material won't stay in any residue, but I can't confirm this as I am not prepared to peel it off. (On YouTube he said he will make another video to show the effect after removal.)

Here's a photo in black from eBay (which I actually like better):

Yeah, looks really nice. I really would like to know how it looks after some weeks....

[Guest Rotmann]

Really nice skin, it must be also said that you have to take a close color to your sanfran because it's not 100% perfect. I wanted to transform my wife's grey sanfran into a white one because she loves it but it looks like I won't come around buying a white one (she does not care about the OLED, good gal :D ) Here is what I meant, you can see the white plastic underneath the sticker which is also not cut 100% straight.

Black one looks really cool, would be nice to have one to cover up all the scratches on my case :D

[Guest Dima_2005]

I've got that vinyl here. A lot.

Do you think there is a template available (like from the eBay item)? Then I'd just cut out from the template for me.

If someone maybe already bought this from eBay, maybe he/she can scan the template?

[Guest numyg]

Oooooooo now this looks nice 8-D

[Guest john.smith]

Unless you are very skilled at drawing, cutting & trimming in miniature objects , I believe even duplicating the same texture sheet would take hours to do so.

It's actually me who brought the first (white) San Francisco to that guy and convinced him this model is super hot in the UK and other places.

He finally agreed to mould it for 2 nights (perhaps 6 working hours) before a finalized skin come out.

You can see in my pics that the curves are not 100% smooth, it's because it was hand crafted. He told me the ones in production are better because the template was modified in software.

It doesn't protect the weakest part of the phone - the 2 silver blades on each side...

[Guest Rotmann]

Why is that the weakest? Nobody reported problems so far.

@john.smith, nice to hear that the production models are cut straight. Hats off for your initiative and efforts.

because the silver is just a piece of cheap coating plastic...

of course no problem so far, the color won't come off for a few weeks...

[Guest dantekavala]

anyone who try it can answer. After days has the same result?? Are there any problem with signal? Maybe carbon "cut" a little. Or any problem with temperature? Make mobile can't release the hot.

[Guest da1000]

They look nice was thinking of getting a normal case but now might have to change my thinking :D thanks for the pics

[Guest Stryke69]

Edit: found it

Do you not think it would look better if the entire camera was cut-out?

(Instead of having a lump)

As I said, no one reported problems. My wife and I have sanfrans since november, the silver stuff still looks like new.

[Guest john.smith]

I will seek opinion from the maker and tell you what he thinks. Cheers!

[Guest john.smith]

I got a reply now. The edge around the entire camera part could become too sharp and hurt fingers.

Anyway, here's the new taste in leather textured. Please visit my original post for photos.

[Guest john.smith]

Is anyone still interested in this carbon fibre skin sticker?

We will be arranging the sales again along with the skin for ZTE Skate / Orange Monte Carlo.

Hope that we can bring down the prices for grouping the purchase altogether.

Please leave us a word here!

Any chance you have any codes to get some discounts? I really would want the screen overlays and may also get the black leather case!
