Wondering chrome case???? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories

So i love how the ipones have the chrome back and some cell phones cell chrome housings or face plates for their phones.
I looked everywhere and i cant seem to find a company that makes chrome face plates for the htc tytn II or tilt. Is there anyone out there that knows of where to go or what places to go to and ask to get this done. or if there is a company that makes custom jobs? thanks again
i want to have that heavy feel to it you know.
like the ipods or some cool phones made with white gold or gold or stgainless steel thanks

Not real chrome but this was the only site that I found something similar:

yeah i seen that on google lol but i want chrome grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Get clay molds, make impression with housing, drip chrome into em and voila. I'm no genius but I guess that could work.

They make some pretty crazy automotive chrome paint.

You could always get someone to paint / clearcoat one of those plastic snap cases, or a whole new plastic set like above.
If you are poor, you could paint it chrome yourself (with spray paint). I would clear coat it a few times if you do that tho.

buy a new housing and paint it chrome.
then switch the housing(i suggest you get someone professional to do it if you dont know how to)

Polishing the cover to mirror-like finish

Well, after being infected with this uncurable decease called "Polish-o-mania" a while back, I just decided that the matte finish of my S100 cover wasn't just enough for me.
Also, the fact that my friend recently polished his SE T610 cover probably didn't make me NOT want to polish it...
Now, since I'm quite new into this polishing-thingy, I don't have the stuff at home to make it really, really nice, but I'm gonna go shopping tomorrow for some better polishing fluids.
Now, this is my equipment:
-A plastic bucket with water.
-An eraser
-Some sheets of grinding paper (P320, P800, P1200, P2000, waterproof)
-A tube with metalpolish (this is now what is limiting my finish...) and a piece of cloth.
And for the procedure: (remeber to use a lot of water and clean the cover during!)
-Take some 320 grain paper, wrap it around the eraser, and start grinding away. Go in one direction (ex. up and down along the back cover) until you've grinded away all of the matte surface.
-Then you go up a little (i did go to 800 grain) in grinding paper, and start to grind some more, but in a 90 degree angle to what you just grinded. And when you've grinded off all of the scratches from the previous sanding, go up in paper and rotate 90 degrees again.
-When I had grinded it down with 2000 paper, I took the metalpolish, and started rubbing away. And after rubbing a little, I took a clean cloth, and wiped it off.
Voila! A nice, shiny, reflective batterycover!
Now, the problem is that I want the fron cover as shiny, but since I don't want to do it while mounted to the phone, I wonder if anyone could advise to how to remove the front cover?
I unscrewed the torx-screws (4) which held the phone together, but as I started to pull things apart, it seemed to me as if all the inner workings of the phone are attached to the front cover.
But if someone knows (I've tried googling and searching through forums about this...) IF you can separate the front cover from the rest of the phone, and HOW to do it, I would appreciate it greatly!
I will attach some pics, but they are of Nokia 7610 quality, and not at such a high finish as I want it. As I said earlier, I now need finer polishing-liquids... But I hope you get the idea!
(It is at least shiny enough to read a magazine in it's reflection...)
Cheers, and I hope someone can help me with dis-assemblying!
Cool to finally see some casemods being done. I've been thinking about painting mine somehow. I have a pretty nasty scratch in the original paint I'd like to cover.

It looks like you have ground off the two little nubs on the bottom of the case that protect the case from scratches when it is laid down on the back cover. Did yours have these nubs to begin with?
What about the part above the battery hatch? It is made out of plastic, and presumably cannot be polished!
Does anyone know if that Vinyl Skin Wrap thing is available in the Uk or do any companies provide a mail order service for the XDA 2i?

Yes, I did grind of those nubs. I could've tried to go around them, but it would have taken forever, and I also very rarely lay the phone down anyway.

Well, as you said, it is made out of plastic, so it can't be polished. But sending it to a chromer to have it chromed out shouldn't cost much since it is so small...

Yeah, it's a bit of a love/hate-thing...
But my cover looked like s**t before (scratches!) and this is ALOT better...
And always nice if a girl needs a make-up mirror, "Wow! Always someone there when I'm in need!"
I like it verry much... But when is the front side polished?
After that i think i will do the same! It looks damn good!
im so damn wondering how that looks like with the front polished
how is it going maytey
Well, I'm a little lazy, and I don't have as much time on my hands as I would like to (work and other hobbies).
Maybe sometime this weekend, it all depends on how easily I can rip the front part off of the phone...
Will keep you posted.
well how is it pall?
Now, I feel like it is time for a small, small update...
Update!
Now, after going to a couple of stores that I thought would have some better polisher, I still havent found any. So, no better polish yet.
And since I haven't had the time I would like on my hands, I haven't polished the front yet either.
"So, what exactly can he be updating?" you might ask yourselves?
Well, I now have better pictures of it, taken with a REAL camera! (Wow!)
Here you are, might give a better look at things...
(Will try to snap some of my friends T610 tonight too... Will see if I have the time to polish the front this weekend...)
Cheers!

Do you like my qtek ?

Do you like it ??
How you have made it? i too want...

Very nice.. I was planning to do a metallic whitish colour.
Also, I think the button needs to be painted too.. do you have plans for those.. and how are you planning to do it?
Thanks
no, i like the bottons has they are
Let the buttons as they are, the contrast is very nice. I wonder how long will the paint least until scratches will appear :lol:
i think that they will not appear has they didn't appear on my laptop paintjob

And what is the name of the paint spray and varnish you've used?
great job adolfotregosa! how did you remove the lcd from the front casing. i have already dismantled my unit following the pdf posted by someone, which was more intented to fix the speaker problem.
GreenGremlin. any model toy paint spray usually works. it is important to sand off the surface with a very fine sand paper like what adolfotregosa used to remove any clear coat lacquer, and then sand it off again with wet, fine sand paper.
Love the color and I live the job done. Hmmm... Can anyone PM me the link on removing the case, I will try this out and I plan to make a design, ofcourse a yellow looking Imate won't look that good...
The PDF is quite big in size to send via email. i couldn't upload it to the ftp also thus here's the link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18384&highlight=disassemble
btw, the pdf was originally made by someone to try to fix the speaker problem. i didn't dare to remove the LCD since i didn't want to break anything, most especially the LCD.
if someone would be kind enough to post instructions on how to remove the LCD would greatly be appreciated by the group.
I saw some pretty cool jams on some site a while back that had been skinned,looks a pretty good alternative and you can change them all the time,don't know where to buy them from though!

Think you're talking about a site called skinit.com They sell vinyl skins that peel off when you want to change the look. The skins cost around $10 USD, but I don't recall seeing anything on their site for a Jam.

Paint a Wizard, hide my scratches and blemishes

I wanna paint my Wizard. It's got more wear than a 50-year old prostitute. Can anyone give me some tips as to protecting the screen, buttons, and camera lens as well as using a certain kind of paint? Thanks.
I have also been thinking of doing the same and downloaded the Wizard Service guide thinking I would disassemble, paint and then reassemble. I did this in particular because I also hoped to fix the slider which has become loose and the wizard opens on its own and sometimes gets stuck when shifting between potrait and landscape. But the process is just too much to handle and will need heavy studying of the manual.
Befor you should know how to put your mobile in parts. It's explain on this website :
http://www.ce4you.cz/articles/detail.asp?a=263
good luck
Well I was just thinking using masking tape and spray paint of some kind; no dissassembly required. But fixing your slider problem... maybe should be put in a separate thread.
And yeah... these parts are very delicate. I wouldn't want to dissassemble this thing.
I really want to paint my Wizard too, I was thinking about painting the whole thing black. I'm not afraid of taking the device apart, but I have doubts about the paint. Isn't it just gonna fall off like the oruiginal paint did? What paint are you going to use? Please update this thread if u succeed and tell us how did you do it (and what paint did you use)

I would think that if you painted then put a shieldzone on it would protect your new paint nicely. Any thoughts?
there was a previous thread in the upgrading section, i think it was "badbert" who posted a ford GT look on his wizard, and he even included tips, how and what he used
opps sorry, it was the clear case he painted, but check it out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306568&highlight=badbert
lol - without disassemble the wizard will look like a piece of sh**. In addition you have to know something about painting. Its not like just spray with a cheap can of paint. After two weeks the painting will be of.
I know that because i've painted a lot of stuff (like cars, PC's and so on)
I started off with an Audiovox SMT 5600 and bought a dummy phone on Ebay for $8.00. Took apart both and used the dummy phone's casing and it turned my Audiovox into a brand new phone.
Maybe you could find a dummy Wizard or a Wizard with a broken screen on the Cheap and use the casing to bring yours back to snuff?
Now I have the HTC TMO Wing -- You can buy the battery cover back door on Ebay for around $10.00. I bought two of em. So now when I **** up the finish - just replace the door which essentially half the phone.

Pictures for Invisible Shield (Full Body) on Fuze
Hi all,
Here is my Fuze that i covered with Full Body Invisible Shield. I like it, made it feel rugged and i can really put it at any surface now without worrying about scratching the sides. The four points or should i say eight points of the phone corners are not that protected. The IS has been covering my phone for almost 1 month.
I also increased the brightness and contrast of the pictures when i uploaded it so you guys could see the IS better.
I bought this so called "free lint cloth" from WalMart, but lo and behold, it's not actually lint free, it HAS lots of lint when i used it. So on the back of my Fuze, you will see a few white dots, those are the lints from the cloth. Well, lesson learn, gotta make sure it's lint free cloth
Hope the pictures help. But overall, i really like my IS.
thx for the pics - i wish someone would jsut release a decent non-glossy backcover replacement already for the fuze - i dont want to deal with protecting the back faceted stuff at all.
Do you find the screen protecter to reduce the screen sensitivity/scroll speed at all? The stock screen protector ive found to do this a little bit with my stylus input.

Looks good. I will very likely order one as soon as I get the Fuze. Your pics definitely helped me make my decision. It's hard to believe Invisible Shield doesn't have pics like that on their site, so customers can get a real look at what it looks like installed.
Thanks again!

It felt kinda weird after i first applied it, for the first week i would say, the IS feels alien sort of to the Fuze, but after that i let it cured under a desk lamp every night. During this time, i almost think about removing it and not using it, but i let it go and just wait after a few days and voila, it's really becoming the skin of my Fuze.
The screen becomes a little bit sticky with the stylus, i do have to get used to it, but after the first week, everything is good.
Eh. invisibleSHIELD doesn't do it for me. I'm ordering bodyguardz. It looks to unprecise.

Thank you so much for posting those pictures, it does worry me a bit that the corners are exposed, you would think that the corners would be the first to hit the ground when dropped but the good thing is that IS doesnt add bulk and allows the fuze to keep its good looks , leaning towords IS but have to do just a lil bit more research

would you consider bodyguardz has the most accurate precission compared to IS, ghost armor, and whatever else? I'm still trying to find a skin that is _specifically_ made for fuze and covering the corners as well.
i am thinking of getting bodyguardz.. been using them ever since
dont like Invisbile shield anymore but the back is good. front sucks
ghost armor never heard of them... might try it.
martinoverlay don't have it for fuze ):

blah hopefully i can find a discount to get a good deal :d
Insible Shield in Malls
I'm in the LA area and Invisible Shield has kiosk in some of the malls. You can se/touch/feel, etc.. it first hand. I looked at it and am going to have them (they cover the phone in about 45 minutes) my FUZE.
@cyberblue
So far, none of them covered the corners >.> none that I could find. This is because it would peel at corners and come off because they are round and not dead flat straight like the diamond is. There might be later. I ordered Bodyguardz after looking at the pictures and seeing that it looks much tougher and protects MUCH more area. and the invisible shield looks like crap. It is not fit for the fuze. Looking at the pics posted by someone on this forum, You'll notice that the screen protector and the front panel covers are not curved for the fuze. They're just straight.
***EDIT***
I'm curious. Since invisibleSHIELD usually has the correct dimensions and to the looks of this picture, it seems that the OP bought a touch pro body cover instead of a fuze body cover. I think that is a camera hole by the AT$T logo. But I'm not sure. I'll pm the poster of these pictures.
Pic:
Yea,
I did buy the Touch Pro GSM version of IS. Indeed, there is a hole in my AT&T logo, the IS had hole in it, i should have just put the small IS holeto cover it , but my mistake, i threw it out and i forgot about it.

Replacement battery cover

I hope these come out soon. I really dislike how slick the entire phone is. When trying to have a phone conversation, and trying to rest it on your shoulder, holding it between your shoulder and face, it slides right out...
Same here. TMo was suppose to start doing the custom printed covers, but they are slick as well. It was 100 degrees yesterday and sweat doesn't help when you're trying to silde it open one handed either. TMobile has a rubberized shell for it, but it was way too bulky.

Yeah, I meant to mention those "skins" too, I am not a fan of those. One of my praises for this phone was it's slim profile, and adding one of those skins would make it just that more bulky. I like the material on the back of the Droid.
I like the battery cover on the back of the original MyTouch 3g, other then the fact that it slides open way to easy...

Have y'all looked into eGrips. Might be worth it for now.
Well again, those I am not a fan of. First: I am not sure how those attach, and if it is simply a stick-on, I'd hate to have it leave a residue when you go to remove it. And since it's a cover on a cover, it starts increasing bulk. If someone would come out with a replacement cover, just in a different material, I'd be happy
Edit: I also don't want something that would make it a pain to slide in and out of my pocket... those super grippy type covers do just that. They're great at keeping them in place on a car dash, or on your shoulder, but it's likely going to turn your pocket inside out, leaving you open to being bum rushed when the change falls out of your pocket.

Eh, maybe I am old fashioned, but I hate headsets more than the battery cover I rarely use the phone in my car, so I see little use of the headset. Actually, I only use the headset when listening to my music.
OH, which BTW, if you used Subsonic, now you can browser your server using the phone's browser since it has Flash support, no need for the Subsonic app Maybe I'll post that in the apps thread...
The phone is great but it is way to slippery.
I was thinking of maybe taping off parts of just the back cover and spraying on a product called Plasti Dip just to give it a thin rubber coating.

I'm very familiar with plasti dip, and thats not a bad idea...
I put on some ghost armor on my device. It makes it a little more slip resistant. It was at one of the mall shops at a local mall.

Agreed on the slippin slide. I have a bench seat in my truck so i have to keep a t-shirt on the seat to hold my phone in place. (while streaming pandora into my stereo!)
So since gel skins have YET to show up at my T-mo store... I have been contemplating how to spray paint it or rubber coat it... If someone is bold enough I would love to see the photos.
Here are the potential problems
1. the holes in the back for the speaker.. we can porbably just poke them out with a pin after spraying.. hopefully it still looks pro
2. i started to pull off the front plastic and it seemed like the plastic screen cover was connected.. not sure if I want to mess with that... but it might look lame if the front doesnt match.
Possible anti-slide solutions...??
- some sort of stick on rubber tread that looks cool??Maybe if we find a cool piece of rubber tread that is made to stick on or we glue it one it could look cool and stop the damn phone from sliding.
p.s. my dream would be for someone to make a metal cover like the nexus (no i dont want a nexus I just like the finish that looks like an adults phone) with rubber tread lines built into it.. maybe I need to find a manufacturer. ..
I hate the slick back cover as well, i miss the cover on my G1 its the non-slick bio-hazard one. just the type of grip makes it great to slide in and out of pocket, less scratches, easier keyboard slide out.
Its too glossy for my taste i have to wipe the whole phone when im done with it for the night to make sure the finger prints are gone, gets annoying.
i'm looking for a nice matte cover as well, i hate the slickness(i dropped my phone because it slid out of my pocket). worst case scenario i might grab a replacement black one and sand it to a matte texture.
I am about to spray it with a satin black car trim spray... and if that doesn't work the next step will be a rubberized spray I think... Will post if it doesn't look like complete garbage lol
Well I hate to get ahead of myself but here is my rubber coated battery cover.. I am still waiting so patiently for it to completely dry. If what I used works then I will post a photo how to . Hang in there!

I was thinking on trying an invisibleSHIELD, has anyone ever tried one?

What product did you use on that, and did you tape off the holes or just poke them out with a toothpick type device?
