So i was browsing on the internet the other day and what not an d came accross the moto x with a leather back. the leather looks pretty decent when the phoen was new, but after some time i see that the leather ends up geting dark spots that look unatractive to me. il try and post pics.
ive never had leather on a phone, but do you guys think the leather could get ugly over time?

Above is what it looks like brand new.
Above is what the phone looks like 4 months later
heres another pic.
I see the leather looking kind of ugly and dull after some time has passed. Hopefully someone here can prove me wrong and the g4 leather will stay looking great for a longer time?
dont get me wrong im probobly still gonna get leather back. but maybe replace it after some time if it looks like this after a while.
Patina on leather actually looks classy to me. If it bothers you, you can at least easily buy a replacement battery door.
Am I the only one who can't see pictures?
Sometimes I wonder if anyone has ever owned a leather product of any kind before.
Each cover will be unique. This also said LG on presentation and it's true. I like it. Nobody will have the same mobile.
Well of course this happens. Leather is going to age as an organic material. If people think leather will look forever like it does on day 1, they best not get leather.
If you don't want dark spots, the black would be the best, sure it will wear a bit, but color should stay same. The charm with brown will be it's your personal phone after a while.
Oh nice, this looks rly beautiful <3

How did you do it, where you found it etc.
Info please!!!!!!
carbonfibergear.com they have it in like 6 different colors cost me 8$ for a 4x8 piece more than enough ifn u mess up. 3M makes so the back has a sticky side, peel and stick then hit it with a hair dryer on low to make it stay on the edges.

Maybe he bought a piece of film like he said in his first and the third post?

That might make it easier for you.
I did this with black carbon. Had it on for about a week and took it off. It kinda reminded me of one of those coffee carabiners.
it stays on very well to my surprise thought it would have peeled on the edges by now
ok everyone im thinking about buying a case for my phone and came across 2 that look pretty good and just wanted other opinions on them
first up is a body glove case for 7.99 and free shipping

next is a Desk Mate Leather Case for 9.95 and free shipping
i know body glove is a good one but the desk mate looks like it would offer more protection...
please let me know what yall think
Thanks
Personally, I prefer Desk Mate model. Another one seems huge and a little ugly.
yea i agree thats what im gonna get
Thanks
Desk mate looks classy, I've been thinking about getting a case myself and at 10 bucks I'm going to get that one for myself.
I dont have the body glove, but a similar chinese knock-off from ebay. A note about those cases.. they do offer a good tight protection without much more thickness and weight to the device, but I find it awkward to use the slider on sense roms with that case. Its always a little difficult to slide to the home or settings tab because typically your thumb slides right off the side of the screen. While the ridge on the side of the case prevents your thumb from doing this.
I like the design of the deskmate as opposed to other leather cases, but Ive never been a fan of leather cases in general, a little too bulky for my taste. (I put my phone in my pocket, not on my belt).
I personally would suggest the bodyguardz or invisible skin protection. It doesn't add another inch bulk on the phone and it keeps the look of the phone.
very nice collection,
i like the desk stand cover
After looking at all the sexy phones being released, I was getting jealous and it felt like my HD2 was losing its luster (The HD2 is still a sexy phone, don't get me wrong). I actually did this mod a long time ago but I switched the cover because I purchased an extended battery (Chinese!) and recently I just really missed the sexyness. And the cover draws attention away from the phone's slight blemishes( My f*cking eX knocked my phone on the the ground. It scratched my phone, cracked the camera lens and dented the camera casing >:[ )
Don't know if something like this was posted already, but anyway, here's to the best $265 I have ever spent!

I didn't have better camera at the time, so i had to use my sh*tty iPhone 3g. The image had so much noise, that i had to Photoshop it! So if it looks weird i apologize.
EDIT: THAT'S RIGHT! Totally forgot... I bought this carbon fiber vinyl sheet from ebay (3M makes better quality sheets but is more expensive). And basically it's a sticker and I just pasted it on to my back and cut the proper dimensions. I used a heat gun to make it stick more and it makes it easier to play with (it gets softer). I'm actually planning on dong this to all my future phones!
OK ......Ya it looks nice but what was the point of making the post if your not going to tell people what you did to make it? Is it just a carbon fiber sticker, did you actually make a true carbon fiber back cover,etc....Would be nice to know for others that might want the same look.
Why is this in themes and apps?
its moved now
I've dropped my phone a few times and doing so messed up the chrome bezzel pretty badly. I didn't take before photos like I should have but I couldn't stand looking at it anymore. I had bought a carbon fiber vinyl to wrap my GearS Watch Band with. It was a decent size sheet and I have more left but after I did the watch band I decided to wrap my phone battery cover. Thats when I decided to do the bezel as well. Took a bit of time and was tedious but it looks great and I wanted to share with everyone. Maybe this could be an idea for others. Used an Xacto Knife and a Hair Drier.

It looks ugly
The phone looks ugly in this wrapping. Better re-paint the bezel (if possible) lol !
I have never used any cover for phone. I use my S5 carefully and it's bezel perfectly fine. And I have been using S5 for 15 months now
everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I've had mine since June but have dropped it quite a few times (guess I'm careless) I love the way it looks and everyone around me that has seen it ip has me liked it. I thought about buying a new bezel but it would be to much to take the phone apart and I had the extra vinyl laying around. Although it would be cool to do because I'd like to swap the Nav Menu LEDs from white to red.
It looks awesome in the carbon fibre wrap [emoji1]

Thanks a lot Stachura! Im really loving it. Have been not using my cases lol
Bought a Tan Note 10+ Leather case and just after a month's use, the case has so much wear off. I go very easy on my phones and cases with no keys or anything in the picket I keep the phone in.
I felt that this is not right and contacted Samsung and they said there is zero warranty on cases. How on earth can a premium $55 Samsung product has no warranty at all?
I understand the leather wearing but this doesn't look like wearing but a bad product quality when my tan leather turns black. Any ideas?

I remember this being an issue with many samsung leather cases, so i've never bothered getting one. Really disappointing. Can you check if your credit card has any protection options?
I think the color is painted on. I got the black one to avoid losing color.
I got the brown one and mine has got way way worse than that. Pretty disappointing
I'm using original Samsung case (silicone material), but leather is the same I think.. I have first one now, but I had 3 of them when I used Note 9. So quality and also protection is weak.. But you know, if you like it..
I have the red leather case and feel the corners are showing a lot of wear for less than 3 weeks worth of use. Phone is either in my hand or pocket. The corners have gotten darker as seen in the pic. I am okay with leather wearing, however I'm wondering if it will discolor unevenly or fade...
My old Note 9 has the brown leather flip cover and no issues, however that was a darker color in comparison. Pics attached.
