UN-UGLY your stuff - iPhone 4 Smirkabout Skin review

[sally65356]

What happened to smirkabout?

[rctfanatic]

It looks like smirkabout's website has been stripped bare. Can you recommend any similar product? I noticed you still had the fire monkey on your iphone in your iphone 4s (does it suck?) video but it looks like you can't buy them anymore.

[shetballs]

@rctfanatic try icarbons.com they only have several skins but give it a look

[pixelated111]

could you always reapply the skin?

[legomaplestorynoob]

pzaz?

[SauronsEye]

@legomaplestorynoob It's spelt, "pizzaz". It means dazzaling style, flamboyance, flair etc etc.

[SauronsEye]

@legomaplestorynoob It's spelt, "pizzaz". It means dazzling style, flamboyance, flair, etc, etc.

[xxgg]

Thanks for review, I have already ordered one for my Samsung Galaxy S. Too bad my phone doesn't have nice even hardware shape like iPhone4 to fully cover the phone properly for best visual.

[wyattmtiger]

hey u live in aus? me to

[SuperMyquest]

i like the matching wallpaper

[dyl2210]

few questions does it buble much? as in when you put it on did you get many bubles and thousands of retrys grr hate those stupid bubles also can i use my solid brick case its just a thick block case and still use it? its only a plastic one that wraps around it but would this mess up the i know you said you didnt take it off but have you yet i was curious to know what itll be like after a longer time if its still put it onto other objects & stuff good review as always and love the watchmen shirt

[Blunty3000]

@dyl2210 No, it was actually super easy to apply, and I had zero issues. No Bubbles etc at all.

[Shenlord]

The firemonkey was designed by Bard! He is from my country, Norway ^^

[ls600h1]

@Shenlord

lol, kool i love it aswell, might give it a go.

[Huskeyyyyy]

Their website is glitchy as hell.

[lordrandal90]

nice batman logo :D

[skatermonkeygirl]

I was just wondering if you can use these skins while still using your screen protector and silicon edge case? I'm a dropsy person so I'd like to keep the edge case to avoid damage, but I love personalising my stuff. Star Trek skins anyone :-)?

[Crazyzen327]

makes me wish I had an iPhone 4 or be able to purchase the skins.. :P

[BrentonSpratt]

Thank you Mr.Blunty. I bought one of these covers because of your review, and it is AWESOME!

[tf2matt]

doesn't "ju nuce qua" mean i don't know what?

[ProPhotoHouston02]

great video

[ElyziiuM]

I'm considering ordering one for my Nokia 5800XM and the only thing that is holding me back is the question: is there is any scratch protection for the screen?

Or do the "stickers" leave out the screen area?

[jrtwinette]

Do they make it for the updated iPod Touch and does it prevent that oily fingered up look on the back?

[MrVidau]

Awesome shirt! And is it a coincidence that there was a sushi advertisement banner next to your video?

Also, the iPhone 4 had the death grip issue. Do you think maybe the stickers might interfere with the phone signal?

[GadgetCheck]

we all need and iphone 4 game review

[katgirl21]

This sounds cool. I've dropped my phone without its case often, and it's been okay (although I always girlishly make a high pitched eek noise because I think it will surely die.) I gave up my search for a perfect protective case (as of now, I use a horribly old super ghetto ipod case from when there was no wheel on the ipod. It's leather, has a clip, covers the screen, and is pretty damn protective (sadly I can't use the phone in it.) Wish they made a stylish thing with similar features.

[MrFictive]

Blunty, good sir! Does it fix the antenna issue?

[DullPlae]

Fire Monkey!

this video has got me thinking, perhaps i should make my own skins for my ovjects.

not because i dont like these smirk about skins (infact i find them epic) but rather, these smirkabout skins have given me inspiration.

Thanks Nate

[SpartanVersionDELTA]

I have been thinking about ordering some skins from a competing company called Gelaskins. Looks like both Gelaskins and smirkabout seem to have the same product just with different designs printed on them. Well now that I know about Smirkabout I have a larger selection of designs to chose from. Thanks Blunty.

[Blunty3000]

@SpartanVersionDELTA Choice is always nice... but that choice might be easier right now.. the Smirkabout people have actually made a DISCOUNT CODE for my viewers - use "Blunty3000" on checkout for 15% off your order! sweet eh? :)

[MDMstudios]

@Blunty3000 bad arse =D

[salova]

@Blunty3000 Aww damn...i ordered it on the day u did the review...anyway i can get a discount nw?...my skin jus came in today... :P

[KiTTGTR]

Yet, another pretty interestingly made review on a pretty uninteresting product, holding my attention for the whole freking video. Nice one blunty, keep up the good work, thumbs up!

[RyuDarragh]

I stick e-skins on the back of my gadgets, but they're rather plain and translucent rubbery pads that keep them from slipping off things :P

[stevanz1]

look at "uncommon" ipod covers.. there great

[whoo689]

I love when you extend certain words in the middle of a sentence and/or over-enunciate. ;)

[whoo689]

@whoo689 Middle or end that is

[xXJacobBuckXx]

Well done, I'm sold. Matching wallpaper? EPIC!

[Nik91T]

how thick is it does it help protect the device from bumps and falls or is purely for aesthetic purposes

[Blunty3000]

@Nik91T Falls? no... scratches and the like? yes.

[StarScythe7]

As in, design your own >.>

[StarScythe7]

Wow, I'm looking through a dew of these for the DSi, and they look REALLY nice. I'm probably gonna get one.

I do wish they had a Custom Skin option though, that'd be badass.

[smirkabout]

@MADMANx511 our skins have a LIFETIME guarantee... as for the custom skins stay tuned. the smirkabout labs, which are run by firemonkey btw, are brewing some great new products/services.

[smirkabout]

A wise ninja turtle once said forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza... unfortunately when this video was posted we were experiencing bad Internet juice. So for all of those people watching this video and the not getting to the site we are sorry! We are giving you guys 15% off anything (good for 2 weeks) at the smirkabout website: discount code - BLUNTY3000.

[Blunty3000]

@smirkabout BOOM! how's that folks, a ninja turtles quote AND a discount code! Sweet!

[Silvershot6986]

@smirkabout Sweet I'm so there! thanks Smirkabout!

[assassinxlord]

so you went to a front shot at about 1:51 is that actually a front sticker that fades out when the screen is on? because what i see is no little time and slide bar much appreciated

[Blunty3000]

@assassinxlord ... *facepalm*

[BG213121]

@Blunty3000 Double *facepalm*  plus *sigh*

[Sephilocke]

@assassinxlord LOL. noob.

[Anchupom]

Yay for watchmen t-shirts! :D

Might have to check SmirkAbout when I can.

[castledragonsword]

dont think i didnt notice the quick flash of the batman icon....You are clearly  subliminally signaling for help from something. Dont worry help is on the way. *sends moral support"

[Bliced]

oh oops you answered my question nvm

[Bliced]

lol Smoke about. Smoke about. Smoke about, lol I love the way you say smoke about! anyways these actually look really cool 0_0 except I dont have an iphone 4 and dont plan on getting one :/ do they make them for other phones? I guess google is my friend >.> but im a lazy viewer and your an epic internet god!

[W0lfbaneShikaisc00l]

je ne sais quoi means: I don't know what (just so you know)

[VidGirl88]

I can just hear you yelling at someone to unhand your monkey with that skin. XD

[garlicncows]

a little bit of pus-inality hehe

[punkypoof]

thanks for getting back to me blunty, Got on their site, its awesome, love all their work....the kick in the teeth is that i have just got a HTC wildfire and they dont cater for that. WHHYYYYYYYYYYYY, lol.

Love your show. x

[smirkabout]

@punkypoof hey mate we are launching the wildfire next week. stay tuned.

[123nitro]

Un-uglify sounds like a better word to me.

[BlueAura790]

1:58 : I almost thought was another sticker....wow.

[DirtyMidgetStudios]

Paused @ 1:01 to get an awesome face.

[InfectiousLaugh]

There's also another company called SkimJam

[kilaaaaa]

fire monkey FTW!

[8911145533]

Youk i hate Sushi^^

[Aschingral]

This looks nice : )

[TeaJhey]

i love how people ask "herpderp were you payed to do this?" isnt there a law or rule that says if someone was payed they have to clearly state it in the video?

[cojocoolio]

i hate sushi...yeah..

[lolapolooza]

can you design your own?

[yourlilemogirl]

those look amazing :O

i'd love to put those on my phone rather than this red rubbery silicon thing i have on my phone right now :/

it reminds me of the old days (with the brick Nokia's) when you could totally customize your phone by replacing the button pads with prettier ones and the covers of the phone -sigh-

[Zef98]

do u think that blackberry will adopt this idea rather than those rubber and hard skin cases...this looks so awesome

[smirkabout]

@Zef98 we have skins for lots of bb devices as well.

[CherWarner]

I love this review!! Thanks :D I love the idea of personalising a phone, and am glad that it is not only iPhones that are catered for :)

[Goldex13]

I really like those skins, but I always get bored with them within a week (just like my wallpapers). Does anyone else seem to have this?

[gangstaphil123]

you should review iphone covers next! like what one you think best protects it etc

[frozensage]

unfortunatly there are those who wont even consider these because they like to use the apple logo as a satus symble. : \

[jonest6151]

omg!

i have the fire monkey for my ps3 controller!!

got it about 2 months ago, looks so good :D

[alabalacr2]

u know me and my brother bought a protector thing for my old phone it was shaped exactly like it so we put it on skin draw it and cut it out we made about 29 skins for our old nokia they didnt peel because it skins were placed under a glass cover

[rollert2]

i have been watching your videos for over a year and i just realized that you look like the guy who plays iron man.

[jedigman]

Holy smitch! Seriously wondering WTH Blunty stuck the stickers on his screen until he started talking about the wallpaper. Testament to the quality of the iPhone 4 display ! Or my shitty eyesight... :)

[smirkabout]

@jedigman the retina screen is amazing isn't it! all of our wallpapers are super high res matching each device... so for the iPhone 4 all of our wallpapers are 326ppi. Can't be it!

[xTurnipTimex]

Those cases are SWEEEEET!!!!!!!!

The company name and his logo on the card is really awesome to.

Thats really cool. REALLY cool.

[Xzarfna]

i just wondered something. Could you maybe try to see if they vinyl edge protects against the "Death Grip" effect. Seeing as vinyl doesn't conduct, it SHOULD help a lot! 

[Blunty3000]

@Xzarfna Seeing as I've never actually been able to recreate the supposed "death grip", I've no idea if it protects against "the problem".

[duckmcduck55five]

@Blunty3000 thats cuz the death grip is only in america

[smirkabout]

@Xzarfna the skins on the side do help with death grip issues. we have some of our usa customers who swear by it... your mileage will vary though as we haven't been able to reproduce it in australia yet.

[TheLonelyImmortal]

Such is is delicious. Wait- do you mean raw fish or seaweed-wrapped rice with other stuff inside? Actual sushi tastes like nothing and... it's raw.

[Blunty3000]

@TheLonelyImmortal Please learn the difference between sashimi and sushi. *sigh*

[own4g3m4n]

@Blunty3000 first not japanese person who does know about sashimi

[TheLonelyImmortal]

@Blunty3000 Okay; I shall! ...My god. There are way too many Japanese words, and I can't remember Japanese words. There's not much hope. But considering that most people just call the stuff sushi... I think you're just being your self-described "nerd" self again :)

[BGMINC]

@TheLonelyImmortal have you ever had good sushi sir, you know like the real stuff, not something you by at a counter in your super market... because ill tell you eel tastes different then tuna, and bbq is win, idk if you like bbq eel sushi blunty, but that shit is good man

[TheLonelyImmortal]

@BGMINC I like the seaweed-wrapped stuff with rice inside and good stuff in the middle. That stuff is amazing and I love it to death. But raw fish was not a pleasant experience for me when I tried it. I don't know the Japanese words for what I'm talking about, so if I'm talking about something other than what you're talking about, sorry.

[BGMINC]

@TheLonelyImmortal u do know that the seaweed wrapped stuff (sushi) is raw fish as well.... sashimi is the same thing without the rice or seaweed

[TheLonelyImmortal]

@BGMINC I discovered that I'm talking about California rolls, which might not even be considered sushi. So I'm wondering if I like sushi at all.

[whoo689]

@TheLonelyImmortal You serious?? Huh. If this is true, it looks like I'm missing out on nothing. I had always wondered what sushi tastes like, but I never imagined it would be tasteless. I always thought it'd taste gross, esp. cuz it's raw.

[Blunty3000]

@whoo689 No, "TheLonelyImmortal" is a colossal idiot. Sushi or sashimi is not remotely "tasteless", it is in fact goddamn delicious.

[Silvershot6986]

@Whoo689 I completely agree with Blunty3000 sushi is by far my favorite food. I much like many people were like "eww raw fish no thanks" but don't knock it tell you try it. It is seriously tasty plus they all have there own taste depending on whats in it like it you new to sushi get a Philidelphia Roll its got some cream cheese in it to help u ease into sushi its good!

[TheLonelyImmortal]

@Blunty3000 Thanks. God you're nice. Have any friends? You don't act like an asshole in your videos, so why in the comments? Or maybe you do, and I just haven't picked it up yet. But wow. It's a startling revelation.

[TheLonelyImmortal]

@Blunty3000 Now that I'm not so shocked at your lack of respect for your subscribers, I ask you- do you know the difference between ignorance and idiocy? When you call someone stupid, be sure not to make a fool of yourself in the process.

[TheLonelyImmortal]

@whoo689 Okay wait wait wait. The stuff that's surrounded with rice and is wrapped in seaweed, is the best food in the world for me. Seriously. It's amazing. But look up sushi on Wikipedia to be sure you know what you're talking about before you give up this awesome food. But the raw fish, that's something else. I was wrong. Blunty told me good on that, and exposed my ignorance. haha.

[TheLonelyImmortal]

@whoo689 You know what? I'm talking about California rolls. Wikipedia has info on them.

[AlmostEasy1702]

@whoo689 sushi's really nice! the flavour of the fish and the heat of the wasabi and the texture of the seaweed wrap compliment each other perfectly!

[rivenrock]

@TheLonelyImmortal If it was tasteless, it wasn't good, fresh sushi.

[iamsofucknzen]

hey blunty. love the video. love the shirt. love you. keep the awesomeness coming;)

[sheep41]

This product is the equivalent of a putting a paper bag over a models face. Why cover something so beautiful!

[fISHyization]

BATMAN!!



[Blunty3000]

@cinematicobsession No. Were you?

[biohazrdz27]

OMG I knew it was you at that pre-launch tonight! Saw a guy using an orange device to take pics and vids, and I was like that can't be Blunty, cos he only uses his iPhone these days, and that doesn't look like no iPhone. haha

[Chrispy89]

@biohazrdz27 I was there too!

I knew it was him, but I should've said hi to him. :(

[Blunty3000]

@Chrispy89 Several other viewers of mine did. :)

[biohazrdz27]

@Chrispy89 Yea I know.. Kind of regretted "running" to the firefight booths instead of talking to Blunty or Buzz :( The kids there really held on to those controllers [insert angry face here]

[Blunty3000]

@biohazrdz27 Don't judge a book by its cover or a youtuber by his iPhone 4 skin ;p

[SuperMario015]

@Blunty3000 this may sound stupid but what pre-lauch was on tonite?

[biohazrdz27]

@SuperMario015 Halo: Reach

[Blunty3000]

@SuperMario015 Halo Reach.

[SuperMario015]

@Blunty3000 thanks, i think i might wait untill someone does a propper review before i buy it

[mariolqa]

the fire monkey is a pokemon <3 my fav

[fpsScott]

Great video, Nate !

[Olemguy]

So.. Do they make these for my old Sony Ericsson K800i? :P I seriously need to invest in a new phone. :/

[PS3NSKYLINE34]

lol - the website has been taken over by pirates

[razor2657]

It might not leave anything behind when you take it off, but maybe it depends how long you leave it on.

[Branzx]

Good choice:) how much was it? and do they do 3Gs? (im poor ok:L)

[Blunty3000]

@Branzx the skin was AUD$14.95 and they sure do.

[Branzx]

@Blunty3000 yay ty:) btw as always i liked your vid with the thumbs up yeew for a fellow aussie:p

[Penguinishy]

Invest your money wisely instead blunty. ZAGG the great people who make the invisible Shield also have skins and the skins also have the same stuff that protects your phone like the invisible shield You will get good skins and they actually protect your phone.

off topic. You getting halo reach? Aussie midnight launch footage?

[henkdeveroveraar]

haha, when i saw the wallpaper i first thought that it was a sticker too. the iphone 4 really has an EPIC screen :D

[Blunty3000]

@henkdeveroveraar Indeed it does.

[FilipStumpy]

Sushi is fucking delicious! love it!

[hemeanseverything2me]

haha, I froze when you spoke french... I'm fairly sure my face really did look like this: O.o

[punkypoof]

wants so bad,,,,,but website down......dammitt. x

[Blunty3000]

@punkypoof I've had word... the smirkabout people are working hard to get the site working, turns out it wasn't just me, but their host has munted things up a bit.

[thehellsyeah123]

i really like the idea and the design you have looks really cool but i dont like that there isn't a top part for there the head phones go in its kind of a combo breaker lol but i like them great review:)

[p9c]

Gah Server maintenance

[rangabob]

watchmen shirt ftw :D

[BriPod90]

BATMAN LOGO!!

[SuperSonicLollies]

It's "Je ne sais pas" =P

And those look pretty cool. I don't have an iPhone though =S

[Blunty3000]

@SuperSonicLollies I don't care... french is silly. :P

[SuperSonicLollies]

@Blunty3000 French is AWESOME!!!!!!!! =D

[crouts0]

hahaha tank girl quote!!!!

[Riggnarok]

What will we think of next?

Actually, I want a skin for my toaster so I can also have a cool or wacky design or artwork on it. So I can be proud of my toaster being the coolest thing in my hovel

[aerolord]

Wow, I got a feeling that I am going to like the texture.

[Mattheys]

Great vid Blunty they look pretty good I'm thinking about buying some for my friend since he just got an iPhone 4. Any other upcoming reviews I can be excited about?

[StrangeRandomChannel]

What happened to your clear back case

Will it fit over the skin?

Oh and nice batman wallpaper

[Blunty3000]

@StrangeRandomChannel Haven't been using it while I tested the durability of these skins... but yes, it fits over just fine. zero problem.

[AlexTheAverageKid]

iPhones are JUST as bad as Blackberrys when it comes to "idiot corporate drones" lol.

[ShatteredDreams888]

Urgh, burberry

[Fatboyfilmz]

omg i love your shirt

[hattonaxeman]

Have you ever tried Gelaskins they are basically the same I was just wondering if you had any experience with them they seem quite popular, just looking to know about them quality wise , need something snazz up my Desire :)

[smirkabout]

@hattonaxeman we are launching the desire, legend and wildfire next week. check back and get in on the blunty discount code.

[hattonaxeman]

@smirkabout Thanks yer as I see your are cheaper already ill deffo take a look at them once their up

[Vluppey]

cool thing

[HDvideosaregood]

Love your reviews.

[ellichan]

I'm considering one for my DSi if they have them. I would consider it for my Wii, but I just preordered the collectors edition of Epic Mickey and you get skins for that already :P...and a nifty figurine :D...

[smirkabout]

@ellichan smirkabout supports the dsi. check 'em out!

[joelx1000]

cool thanks for saying they make them for more than just iphones cuz i was gunna ask

[TheDraconwraith]

look cool, but i can't get one on my phone because i've lost the original back so i'm stuck with the one with the annoying lump that the screen cover attaches too... Might get one for my PSP though when the site starts working.

[MartinTheMad]

Cool product. Bookmarked the site for when it starts working again. :D

[2WIREG]

blunty any chance of you reviewing a blackberry torch?  Have you ever reviewed a blackberry?

[Blunty3000]

@2WIREG ROFLOL. god no. Blackberry's are for idiot corporate drones who're either forced to use one, are too stupid to shop around, or simply don't know any better.

[bffalcon]

@Blunty3000 Are you kidding?

The Black berry was one of the first smart phones which did something besides make interesting polyphonic ringtones.

The iphone is great and all, but you can't tell me that the iphone would be the peak of human design...

[catatatater]

@Blunty3000 I think you just hurt someone... (lol not me >.>)

[ichirootaniguchi]

@Blunty3000 fucking agreed on the blackberry insult! LOL

android isn't too bad. the OS is a fucking whore though

[REVAN2338]

@Blunty3000 why the hate for blackberrys?

[sepharoth02]

@Blunty3000 Thats surprised coming from you who said "if it works for you" in regards to apple products (the iPad I believe it was)...

But I guess I can forgive you...

[Airbender222]

@Blunty3000 noooo that's not truuee *trollface*

[Super240987]

@Blunty3000 are you dumb? Wow can't believe such generalised views from yourself about blackberry owners. The phones are actually very decent.

[xXWhySoSeriousClanXx]

@2WIREG u have to be careful posting on bluntys videos, he will most likely mock u if u have different views than him, (prove me rong blunty.... prove me rong...)

[GhostofSparta54]

I guess I'll have to wait for the site to work to see what they have for droid

[AArsenalMark]

Look's interesting, hopefully they have PS3 versions on their website, I'll definitely buy one, to brighten up that big black behemoth.

Great that they last for weeks, the moment I saw what the video was about I thought they would wear off after awhile, but you checked and made sure, another top review Blunty, keep it up :)

[smirkabout]

@AArsenalMark we do make ps3 skins but only for the controllers.

[aussie3700]

#lol 

[BraDRoBBo]

i like things that don't wear and tear =)

website doesnt work ? it loads then i get a blank page :( i want one
