How to choose and buy a film for your phone?

In our online store it is carried out from different manufacturers. How to choose the right one for tuning your phone?! In fact, there is nothing complicated here; any carbon-look film offered in our store will do. Even the presence of microchannels is not important, because when pasting such “little things” they are not needed. It is worth paying attention only to the thickness, glue and appearance, which for each manufacturer is slightly different from its analogues. For example, 3D Graphjet carbon has a larger texture than 3D Eclat. In addition, it is thicker than Eclat, so Eclat carbon 3D is a little more suitable for covering a phone than Graphjet Carbon Film due to its fine, neat texture and not significant thickness.

When pasting such small things as a telephone the thinner the carbon film, the better, because, for example, after screwing it under the lid, the latter will easily fall into place and the film will not interfere with it. But on the other hand (from the side of practicality), the thicker it is, the better it will protect the phone if it falls. After all, the film not only makes the phone beautiful, but also protects it from chips, cracks and scratches if the phone falls! She does not scratch as easily as the plastic of the phone, so even after a long time of use the phone will look like new.

The process of covering a phone with 3D carbon film

Decorating a phone is a painstaking job that requires patience and accuracy. Each phone can be restyled in its own way. There are many options! But basically they only cover the phone cover.

Strips of light-colored auto film are cut out and glued on top of the carbon film.

So, to cover the phone we need alcohol, napkins, a sharp knife for art work (I used an Olfa knife, but a regular stationery knife, which is sold in every hardware store), will do, tweezers (for removing small particles of film when cutting), a hair dryer (if the hair dryer is a construction one, you need to work with it very carefully so as not to overheat the film) and of course the purchased film.

Styling object - Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte. The case was cracked after a fall.

First of all, we evaluate how best to cover the phone. I got it Nokia phone 8800 Carbon Art, which suffered after being dropped. The insert on the phone's cover is cracked, causing the phone's appearance to deteriorate significantly. You need to seal the carbon fiber insert. To do this, you do not need to remove it to fold the film. Here you can do without a twist. If you look carefully, you can see a groove (see figure) along which you can evenly trim the film. Its depth and width are perfect as knife guides. The tip of the knife will “dive” into the groove and then follow its direction. Degrease the surface of the phone with alcohol. Take a piece of carbon film (I used Eclat carbon) and paste it on the phone. We carefully press down the film in the place where it rests on the groove. You can heat it a little with a hairdryer and then press it down, this will allow us to see the outline for cutting.

Degrease the surface. We glue the film onto the mobile phone.
Cut along the contour. We remove the remains.

Now, with the tip of a knife, we cut through the film from the corner and move the blade along the guide groove, so that the tip of the knife slightly enters the groove. You should not put full force on the knife to feel how it cuts on the surface of the phone. After we cut the film completely in a circle, we remove the remains. It is necessary to remove the remnants carefully, so that if somewhere the film is left uncut, you can notice it in time and carefully trim it so that you don’t have to buy more and re-glue it.

Mobile phone covered with carbon film

All, beautiful phone ready! If you are covering the lid completely and there is an opportunity to tuck the film, it is better to play it safe and tuck the carbon fiber under the lid to avoid scuffing the film at the edges. The sequence of actions is the same, after you have pasted the film - heat it with a hairdryer and bring it to the edge of the lid. We start turning from the corner. We end up with a lot of excess film in the corner, so we use a knife to cut it into strips for ease of folding. After folding, we warm up the film around the edges again and smooth it on the back of the phone cover. Trim off the excess film. This is how easy it is to do styling!

Anyone who has come across a vinyl film has the idea that it can be used to quickly and inexpensively update the design of a phone. You can also make the appearance of your phone more impressive or hide scratches on the case. The catch is how to do it yourself?

Selection of material and tools

To update the phone case, a regular monochrome film is suitable: white, black, red, green. To improve the design, it is better to use gold, silver, mother-of-pearl film or film that imitates leather or some other texture.

In addition, for work you will need:

• Alcohol or other fat-soluble liquid;
• Cosmetic disk for wiping or napkins;
• A scalpel, or a knife for art work, or a regular stationery knife;
• Hairdryer for women;
• Cutting board.

Pasting stages:

First of all, you need to cut a piece of film that fits the size of the phone case part with a margin of 1-1.5 cm. This centimeter excess will allow you to firmly grasp the film and confidently pull it while pasting.

Then you need to thoroughly degrease the surface of the phone so that the film sticks better. Remove the backing from the film and apply the adhesive side to the phone part.

Then you need to simultaneously press and straighten the film from the center to the edges. At this stage and until the end of the work, it is important not to leave air bubbles under the film.

Sometimes the phone body has irregularities in the form of grooves and borders. In this case, you can cover only the flat part of the phone with film and cut the material exactly in the direction of the groove. In this case, the bending of the body will remain intact.

If a complete covering of the body is required, then it is better to roll up the film to avoid unpleasant scuffing of the coating in the future. However, the bends may prevent the lid from fitting into place; in this case, you will have to cut the film flush.

To cover the rounded sides of the case, the film needs to be heated with a hairdryer, in which case it will become elastic and more pliable. It is important to ensure that the film does not overheat, as it may tear. It is better to warm up the film and stretch it in several approaches.

For better adhesion of the film, several cuts can be made at the corners of the body. The last step is to smooth the film onto back side phone parts, trim off excess material and assemble the device. In order for the film to take its final shape, it is recommended to let the phone sit for some time.

Thus, you can cover your phone with film yourself, the main thing is to be careful and diligent.

Watch another one useful information— Moscow is cheap!

Carbon– this is carbon fiber, a very expensive material, cover back cover phone that costs about 10,000 rubles. It looks, of course, very cool, although maybe not as expensive as it costs. But from the very beginning I would like to reveal a secret - in this article we will not talk about real carbon, but about carbon film - a material that costs much less (500-600 rubles), but in appearance and to the touch is not much different from the original.

Carbon film- a type of vinyl films, about which. The difference is that "carbon" textured, it feels like a plexus of fibers.

Durable material, for example, you can’t just tear off a piece, so it perfectly protects the case from scratches and abrasions, on the one hand, and gives a special look, on the other. By the way, this film shimmers in the light. This is the so-called 3D carbon.

You can stick it yourself, holes for buttons, camera, etc. already made, the shape is tailored specifically to the device.

The main thing is to get exactly in one of the corners, then everything falls on its own. If it doesn’t work out the first time, it doesn’t matter, the film can be easily re-glued.

After a few days, the carbon fiber sits very tightly on the phone and it is no longer so easy to peel it off. It definitely won't come off on its own in your pocket.

However, despite the fact that the film adheres very firmly to the body, it can still be removed; no traces of glue remain and the surface of the phone does not deteriorate.

In general, we found this method of tuning and protecting a smartphone interesting and quite worthy of existence. Especially, price 579 rub. compared to 10,000 rub. looked very advantageous.

Finally, we would like to note that if you are the owner of another wonderful gadget, not Samsung, then don’t worry, there’s a carbon sticker for your device too!
