$30 for a skin? come on...

Okay I know people rave about seidio's skins, but $30 for a 1mm thick skin? wow. Does anyone know of anything similar (ie rubberized) that doesn't cost so much?

Invisibleshield/bestskinsever would be my recommendation. Pretty much invisible, prevents scratching as well as any skin out there, and best of all doesn't add any bulk to the already large phone

I know its nice. I've looked at it a few times on some friends' TP, however I only have so much to spend on accessories right now. And even if I could, I don't know if I could bring myself to pay $30 for it.

$30 to protect a $600 phone is worth it (no matter how much you paid for yours)...
that being said, mine is naked still with a flimsy screen only protector. i'm too lazy to take the time out to correctly install bodyguardz, haha

Re: $30 for a skin? come on...

it is understandable man, try any wireless stand at a mall near you and you may be lucky to find a 10 bucks one that do the job unless you are willing to order online I ll get you some links. I personally use Sprint skin sold at the store for 24 and I am happy with it.Good luck man

Re: $30 for a skin? come on...

Add another vote for invisibleSHIELD as I'm almost 100% satisfied with it, however if you desire the a "rubberized" solution then go with the Sprint skin for $24; as either will be a worthy protection for your serious TP investment.

Yea, it may be uuber cheap to manufacture, but the quality and protection it offers is worth it for a $600 phone.
