Mobility Digest Review: BodyGuardz Carbon Fiber Armor

Murani Lewis — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 16:38:47 +0000

Our smartphones are precious to each and every one of us. We excitedly run to our local carrier store and purchase our version of the “must have” phone and delight in its awesomeness. Recently I picked up a HTC Titan and fell in love much more than I ever thought possible with a phone. The thing is that the lightness paired with the industrial feel makes the phone slip out of my hand and pockets without even a hint that its in motion. I’ve dropped my beloved Titan about a dozen times in the nearly three months that I’ve owned it. So having already dinged up the phone I wised up and started looking for a case or cover to mitigate any further droppings because I knew they were coming. I checked around and had trouble finding cases for the HTC Titan it being a new and really not heavily promoted phone and all. I feared I’d be left with grasping the phone with a vice grip for the remainder of my time. Luckily I came across a fantastic product from BodyGuardz.

The BodyGuardz Carbon Fiber Armor isn’t so much a case but a type of razor thin covering that surrounds the vast majority of the rear and sides of your phone thus providing coverage in the areas that need it. So lets get to the contents.

Package includes:

Back and Side protective skin
ScreenGuardz UltraTough Screen protector

Following the application instructions are easy as the instructions are straight forward. The most important thing is to take your time and line up the skin properly before applying pressure and securing the seal. I had to readjusted different parts of the skin several times but it was more a case of my bad alignment skills than the product. When the application was finished I was happy with the result. I did feel like if the skin was a seamless skin the coverage would be perfect although the coverage as it is is more than adequate. It’s a nitpick but just thought I’d share.

The Carbon Fiber Armor will cost you $19.95 and does come in Red & White in addition to the Black.

PROS:

I love that included in the package is one of their ScreenGuardz protectors. It provides coverage for the front while the skin takes care of the back and sides.
Another great thing that fans of thin phones will enjoy is the fact the skin adds virtually no thickness to the Titan while giving the back and sides a premium textured feel.

CONS:

Limited side coverage instead of total coverage.

If you’re in the market for a quality skin that doesn’t add any thickness to your Titan I encourage you to grab the BodyGuardz Carbon Fiber Armor from here today.

Bodyguardz if offering free shipping along with 30% off everything and an extra 20% off for returning customers. I bought my Tmobile Touch Pro 2 full body kit for $13.97 which is not bad for two full sets along with life time replacement. If you are a returning customer just log in to your account and then add the product you want to the cart (20% will already be applied) then during the checkout process use the coupon code "cymon" and you will get the 30% discount. Hope this helps someone. I know I was waiting on something like this to come around to get my screen protectors.

Looks like it ends at 1pm MST. So if you are going to get one hurry.

Kinoma Play Skinned at Last!

Matt Chapman — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 17:10:00 +0000

For some of us that enjoy tweaking and skinning everything that’s on our devices and was a little board with the default Kinoma Play skins can now rejoice thanks to l3it3r of Mobility Digest and XDA Developers.

l3it3r has found the method needed to add new skins and is continuing down the path of a complete reskin. l3it3r will be creating a “how to” guide over the next couple of days after he experiments some more.

Now that the path to skinning Kinoma Play has been set, let the fun begin! Here are a few more screens from l3it3r latest work.

To see more of l3it3r work, check out his thread HERE and be sure to thank him for his awesome work. And of course we all no that MobileMatt is a big fan of Kinoma Play and skinning. Check out his skins HERE
