5 reasons to buy carbon film

In the modern world, smartphones and tablets accompany us everywhere and at any time of the day, which, of course, affects their appearance. Small abrasions, deep scratches and even cracks from accidental falls or blows - each of us has encountered this. But you really want to preserve the presentation of your device for as long as possible. And here we remember about covers as the most common means of protection. However, all cases have disadvantages - they increase the dimensions of the device and do not allow you to enjoy using the gadget exactly in the form in which the manufacturer intended and implemented it.

Relatively recently, a more advanced method of protection has appeared, devoid of the described disadvantages - this is a high-quality vinyl film. It will reliably protect the device from all sides and will highlight the individuality of the owner thanks to its unique design. Next, we will look at the features and advantages of the new type of protection.

Covering devices with vinyl

This is a reliable and universal protection for the body of your gadget, which can also transform it appearance, thanks to a variety of textures, graphics and colors. The film is made to order, according to the client's requirements, using special equipment. The client can choose a design from a variety of options in our catalog or use their own images, such as photographs or drawings.

The finished products perfectly match the dimensions of your device, and all the slots exactly match the holes on the device body, for example, with the speaker grille, camera lens, etc. The entire process is carried out manually by KNOW-HOW experts who do not make mistakes and guarantee excellent quality. After pasting, the gadget will be transformed, will receive reliable protection from external damage and will delight its owner with a stylish appearance. By the way, the protective film can be made from two types of vinyl.

Differences between vinyl and photo vinyl

Vinyl is made on a plotter from very high quality films 3M, 5star and SCORPIO premium. These brands are well known in the automotive business because... engaged in the production of auto vinyl. Vinyl film can have different textures that imitate materials such as carbon, stone, leather, suede, etc. The manufacturing process takes place in two stages. First, the plotter cuts out the sticker and the picture on it. Next, the excess elements are removed manually, after which we receive the finished product.

Photo vinyl is made from a special film onto which an image is applied using a printer. The top of the graphics is covered with a layer of transparent “armor” and then cut out on a plotter. Excellent print quality is ensured by using an inkjet printer, which achieves the highest image detail.

Device wrapping

Almost any device can be covered, from smartphones to video consoles. The model and brand of the manufacturer also do not matter. KNOW-HOW experts will produce a digital mock-up of the film that will 100% match the dimensions and design features your gadget.

The pasting procedure takes no more than 15 minutes, and the process of creating a unique design and image processing takes from 10 to 60 minutes. The result will pleasantly surprise you not only high quality work, but also durability. Vinyl has incredible wear resistance, because this is the film used to cover cars and motorcycles!

Another nice thing is that we use a film with a special self-adhesive base, which does not leave marks on the device body after removal. Thus, you can easily remove the film yourself to return the device to its original appearance or replace the old vinyl with a new stylish “armor”.

Let's summarize

Vinyl wrapping is not only a reliable way to protect your devices from possible damage, but also an opportunity to give a unique look to your favorite gadgets. An undeniable advantage of vinyl “armor” is its thin profile, unlike cases, which inevitably increase the size of the device. Removing the film leaves no marks on the case. Vinyl also has incredible durability. Add to this the low cost and here we have the best protection option for any device without any covers!

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 closely, 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.

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.

That's it, the beautiful phone is ready! If you are covering the lid completely and it is possible 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 we have pasted the film - we 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. We cut off the excess film. This is how easy it is to do styling!

How to do it yourself?

If you still decide to buy and do everything yourself, then you need to prepare tools, such as: a set of repair screwdrivers for small equipment, a sharp lancet, a ruler, a pencil, or anything convenient for marking; nail scissors may also come in handy. This process is labor-intensive, so save your nerves and don’t be upset if it doesn’t work out well the first time. The main thing is to measure correctly, make the necessary cuts and holes in the film, then smooth it out and remove the excess.

And now a little about when it becomes necessary to make a choice: carbon film, or a case for a tablet, or a phone.

If a smartphone (tablet) is made of expensive materials, such as metal, glass, special fabric (like in a Motorola), or leather coverings and other things that already look luxurious and it would not be logical to modify them in the way proposed here. The only exception is severe damage to the case and lack of desire or money to buy a new one. Since the flagship case can cost above $100.

Therefore, when the acquired miracle is still new, you need to buy a case if you often lose everything. If you don’t want to spoil the appearance with thick layers of silicone, rubber, leather, etc. - there are thin, transparent, invisible ones.

As a last resort, there is a way out in partial stylization, both cut out at the factory (sticker) and decorated in our workshop in our store.
