So, I was bored tonight, and I had some 3M Di-Noc vinyl laying around. Here's what I did:

It's totally removable (doesn't leave residue behind), but I think it came out pretty well. The cutouts for the speaker and flash aren't nearly as noticeable in real life.
That's pretty good.

it looks really good, personally I would have changed the light and speaker holes and not cut out the HTC
Freaking Awesome! I would defiantly get that case for my phone.... love it dude. Give info if u ever plan on actually selling or wanting sum1 to try it out... let me know!
Sent from White Evo to Xda forums
wow this looks amazing! you should sell these, or at least do a tutorial! I'd love to do this to my Evo.
I like the look, but not as much as the carbon fiber. Also, if you have some left over, I think it'd look a lot better without the blocky holes cut out.
Perhaps follow my diy, if you'd like.

I don't like the poked out speaker hole look, but with I should've done the LEDs like you did yours (and like I did my original one).
This is the first one I did (white carbon fiber) a while back:
http://androidforums.com/accessories-evo-4g/92653-evo-white-carbon-fiber-back-pics.html
On ^ that one, I didn't bother doing the speaker holes because I didn't like the look of the white, and I took it off right after taking those pics.
I also have a lighter woodgrain one that I'm going to try to see what it looks like. The samples I'm using were all free, and I should be getting some more in the mail soon.

Well, I unbranded my atrix using the penny method and have now "re-branded" it with an android sticker. I actually ordered 2 because I wasn't sure of fitment for one. I tried the larger one first and it probably would have fit, had I not been stupid:

I already had it on very well before I realized it overlapped the camera section... So, I removed that and replaced it with this:
It's hard to capture the color accurately in a picture, but the first one seems to be a bit closer to me. I think I liked the first one better, had I not messed it up. I may end up ordering another offset version, but going to wait to see what more protective (sticker type) covers come out for the atrix first. Considering how cheap it was, I don't really care too much that the first one didn't work out or that I might end up taking the second one off soon anyways.
For anyone interested, these stickers, as well as other designs and colors, can be found here: http://www.androidstickers.com/

I might try that if I decide to order another.... kind of a waste of money to keep ordering them, but they're cheap enough that I might as well give it a try and it'll be easier to switch if I find myself dissatisfied with the look. Can always stick the extra on something else if I want.
Woof... I'll stick with the sexy, slim, soft-touch, black plastic of the incipio feather...
I'm probably going to end up going with something different... just waiting till there are more options. Not really interested in a case though. Pretty much waiting for the "skins" type options to come out. They offer basic scratch protection but that's about it, it seems.
Emailed them with an idea and they're looking into it... might have something a bit cooler if it pans out.

It has some dust, but you get the point.
Looks nice, right?
LOL, that is PRECISELY what I suggested to someone who had the same question some time back.
BTW, it's a bit surprising to me the silver ring around your camera is perfectly intact. Mine started scratching and peeling off from one point just weeks after purchase (Where the ring rests on the surface where it is placed). (It is in a cover now 24x7, so, it no longer happens. Also the reason why the back letters are intact)

Well, I've had this Wildfire for a little more than 1 year, no guards/covers/cases/pouches what so ever since day 1 and it has absolutely no scratches on the screen/body (that line seen on the picture on the back "metal" isn't a scratch). Only the letters... The "T" came off today and I just removed the others, now it's unique, and good looking.
i dont get it

Some guy in Thailand is doing this as his local business, but since he's charging small to do this, I figured this is something easy and cheap that we could do ourselves. The question is what material is being used to wrap around. Would love to hear some of you guys' feedback. I'm feeling it might be some Teflon tape? Any ideas?
OMFG the pink one is cooooool
also the orange one *-*
white body, red sides, mirror screen film... DROOL!

From what I see, he did not disassemble the phone at all. It looks like some thin film that goes over the phone.

Yes, you can notice on the hole to pull out the battery, film is over the hole
I want! Hehe. Great to hide those faded marks on my arc
any links for this item?
i want the sides to be all black..
for preventive measure haha
Looks like a very bad job. Look at the edges you can still see the chrome and there are dried up blobs near buttons.

yes but he definitely got the two-tones colours right, especially with the black and orange one, I'm gonna look around online to see if i can get something similar going with my arc.
beautiful ,i like the white/cyan colour.
reminds me of a white/gold combo on some Blackberry sets..
gold anyone?
here's a mount I made for the htc Evo, I bought a $20 Telescope for my 4 yr old son and we were in the backyard looking at the moon and Jupiter which for $20 that's about all you get lol I decided after years of attempting to get the perfect moon shot with my phone and always getting that stupid tiny pin hole sized dot of white light no matter how big the moon looked,it would be a good idea to try it now that I have a telescope or more like just wanted to see what would happen.
and low and behold I got this

so after 2 days of thinking of ways to attach my phone to the telescope I had a Jimmy Neutron brain blast and I came up with this by the way it took less than 5 minutes to construct I do this impromptu kinda of building a lot I call it Slap construction I created this with a milk jug cap, a $3 htc evo clip together case, and a small bit of a u-glue strip I wanted to make it so it would attach and detach easily so I melted the inside edges of the milk cap to furl in making a lip to clip over the lip on the telescope lens and after 30 secs with the lighter it shrank and rolled in, then I cut the center out, clipped a piece of a U-Glue strip and stretched it around the edge then I place it on the lens and centered the cases camera hole to the lens then pressed it then I put in my evo and tested it works pretty well and its centered instead of bouncing around that moon pic took 7 tries before I got a decent shot.
WOW! very cool!
That's awesome! Unlocking even more capabilities. The 8mp camera is one of my favorite things about my Evo

As one of the XDA reviewers and long time users of both STRATA and FRAME, I'm drooling over this
The Verge just did a write up as well: http://www.theverge.com/2014/1/6/5277128/metawatch-meta-premium-smartwatch-brand
Coincidentally, Pebble going to introduce Pebble Steel which is the same as regular one but with a metal frame/bracelet, but it's nowhere near as elegant as this one. Sorry, but I think it was brilliant how they incorporated 4 corner buttons as part of the bracelet buckle (obviously Frank Nuovo design). Also, fantastic move to switch to epaper display.
Can't wait to test it out!!!
yeah really like the new steel pebble, the matte black with leather strap looks really nice
still, wish HOT Watch would be getting here sooner, really want to try the private calling function, if it's not to my liking i'm interested in something else
Btw, I haven't seen anybody confirm those hinges are secured by 4 corner buttons. I'm just assuming they are keeping functionality unchanged since the original MW has 6 buttons and going down to 2 would be too much of a change. I'm also curious if it's going to be waterproof like FRAME and if they're going to use a similar charging clip or something else, maybe magnetically attached one? As soon as I find out more details, hopefully after CES, I will post it in here.
I am more excited if there are much faster development on the Android software front!
I like the new hardware of course but at the moment pebble steel wins overall due to the solid development work on both official and unofficial software.
Still praying hard for my metawatch frame to be revived with this new announcement!
