Short Carbon Fiber Skin Review - Great for protecting against camera scratches

[webdave]

Below are some pictures of the AmorSuit Carbon Fiber skin for the Lumia 1020. I original purchased the Skinomi Carbon Fiber skin but the back skin would not properly attach to the sides. I decided to try another brand. I'm pretty happy with the results. The box includes the carbon fiber skin for the back, top, bottom, and camera. It also includes a clear screen protector. The box also has a cleaning cloth, squeegee, and solution for the screen protectorI wanted something to protect the camera part of the phone from scratches since it extends out from the device. The skin was very easy to apply. No solution for the carbon fiber was necessary, just line up the pieces and stick them on.

I would recommend the skin especially for those concerned about scratches and the camera part of the phone.

Windows phones with Nokia has so much character and the 1020 is no exception. Looks great.

Nice. I actually have an armorsuit clear skin on just the camera hump to protect the metal plate...and all the engravings are still seen..which to me looks pretty cool.

IMHO the carbon fiber film takes the character out of the 1020 as the entire phone appears black with stripes and nothing special....I have a gel case to protect from accidental bumps and such and the screen protector and the skin on the back...

what case do you guys prefer. I have the speck AND the camera grip. What do you guys think.

I need a matte black camera hump protector without buying the full body protector. I use a case! I'm using electrical tape now, bummer.

Hey,

U can just buy any of the full body skins for the Lumia 1020,like from skinomi, and just use the piece for the camera hump..i just have the piece for the camera hump installed have switched from using a gel case to no case.

That's a lot of $$ for just the camera piece. Skinomi and Armorsuit are both $12.95 plus shipping, toooooo much! I may try to make my own with a spare xtremeguard screen protector.
