Thats my HD2 as of now, Now i just want the general opinion if i should put white carbon fiber on the top and bottom on the device as a contrast. Heres a picture of the different types of vinyl could buy.
I'm wondering What would look best or Not to put anymore carbon fiber vinyl on my device.
looks pretty sharp like that but I would go with the same pattern if it matches up for the top and bottom I think that would look nice
I wish there was a white version......

The Whole thing white?
me too. white is sexy
Personally, I don't like any colour or pattern. But if you`ve already begun, you should go for it and fully change it to only one colour scheme.
Once again, I wouldn`t go for this if I were to choose, but that`s just my opinion...

All white! alwight.......
Chavtastic! That's my style, cheap and nasty!
man that looks very sharp where can i get my hands on the black one
I vote for the white . Anyway I find it cooler if you can get the top and bottom in carbon too.
if you happen to do that please draw us a template for it thanks!

www.Carbonfibergear.com per the picture
I'd say go with the white.
I could not find just the battery cover I dont want the full cover case. ( just like the one in the pic that covers only the battery) Can u give me the exact link please I appreciate it.
He purchased the Vinyl and then placed it over the original cover. They don't actually sell the case for the phone.
Here's the link to the Vinyl

8 bucks thats not bad at all im still not sure to get black silver or white, how easy was it to apply and does it stay on nice and tight?
I like this modification. It matches my carbon fibre multi-pen and other accessories (www.netcomposites.com). Unfortunately I don't have much use for the pen now - the stylus nib is for resistive screens only.
there is a new post on xda about some1 doing the same thing for evo 4g..

Well it was relatively easy to put on the battery case, It's kind of time consuming if you want to be anal with it. So far the thing has stayed in place and looks great, People have been giving me compliments for it, they say it looks great .
All you really need to put it on is a sharp hobby knife to cut it to size. Just take the battery case off the phone and cut it to shape. I mainly got the inspiration from that thread Here.
did mine like that about a year ago , and my netbook and my laptop .....
both the netbook and laptop are just the top covers , and the HD is just the battery cover ......

hey man
can we see the new awesome black 8125 !!! i have been waiting !!!!
Been waiting here too!
Does that mean it didn't work? Maybe he forgot to mask off the screen. The keyboard buttons might not move either. Would be neat to see a black one though.
I am also curious as to how a black one will look....
He might have got caught up trick-or-treating!!
You should post pics with maybe a little How-To guide on how you did it and what kind of paint you used.
i actually got caught up with work.
i will be uploading the pics to my server tonight sorry for the delay .
ill post a how two as sooon as i paint my 2nd 8125 im gonna go white on the 2nd.
comes out clean i used hobby enamel paint , primer , and clear .

and yeah everything works 100 percent no lose parts / objects everything works like new.
well hell, i will be the first to vote for a "how-to"!! i have been interested in doing something like this for a bit but havent had the time. thats great to see that you had success with the project.
i need to get ahold of another facia (cause mine has a few battle wounds from them drunken nights) for my 8125 then id be totally down to give it a go. if you do a walk thru, make sure to note which kind of paints you use and such... and if anyone knows where to get a brand new facia, lemme know.
wErSa
i like it. excellent work digitalmediaworkz. i agree with wErSa that a lil howto is a good idea + im too looking for new casing since mine althou not even a month old already has some scratches n paint chipped off.
looks good...i think white would look awesome. i would like to see pic once you're done with white.
why didn't you paint the keys?
for those interested in a new facia (casing) i found this site. they have them available for $79 (for the 8125.. didnt check other phones).
if anyone knows of any other places to find em for cheaper, speak up!!!
wErSa
thanks for the responses I kinda did it with a rush since I was anxious to see if it was gonna power up I will be respraying it including the main keyboard trim by the beginning of next week.
might do white or gold base with candy red I come from the custom car paint scene so I got a couple ideas.

Hopfully I Posted in the Right thread. I think I did. Anyways Heres my way of Fixing the problem of not beeing able to see the Home,Back, Search, and setting Soft buttons at Night. I Took the Stickers off of an extra keyboard from an old motorola droid 1 i Had and put them on top of the Soft buttons. This makes it look natural and it fixed the probelm. Best of all IT WORKS! the downside is that it was an old keyboard so the stickyness wasnt all there. ill attach a picture for evreyone too see!

what makes them show up at night? I even tried glo in the dark paint on a screen protector piece, but the glare from the screen was just enough light to not have them "glow" but not enough light to see them

well like this you can feel the mounds they make so its easier to find. they work alot more like buttons now. not much visibility but you can tell they are there now. Thats why I pit the "Sorta" in the thread title.
Nice idea. I might have to try this.
Nice idea. Now you can "feel" which button your on!
Another thing I tried were those colored hole punch reinforcment stickers. Used different bright colors. But you could code them by cutting them in half, and use them in different positions such as open area up, to the right, to the left and down. that way you could feel where the edge is or is not.
I've been thinking about how to do this and have it be glow in the dark. Is there anything special about they keys that makes them work over the other ones?

All of those of you that wanted an upgraded Google Nexus S - your wish has been granted, if you consider a new colour an upgrade.
TechRadar got a little look at the new handset on test, and if you're in the market for something different when it comes to a new mobile, then the White Nexus S will at least set you apart.
First impressions make it feel like all Google and Samsung have done is chuck a while plastic cover on the back of the phone, but thankfully it's a little more than that.
Firstly, the whole inside of the phone is now white when you pop the cover off, as well as the extraneous buttons - and these are the things that are actually different on view when you consider the differences between the white and black version.
Sat side by side, you probably wouldn't notice the difference between the two phones from the front, with the same 4-inch Super AMOLED screen on offer. We have no idea why the front isn't also white - we can only assume this messes with the colour perception in some way, as the dual tone looks odd.
We put the black plastic cover on the back of the white Nexus S (there's not a lot else you can do when taking pictures of a new cover) so you can see the difference.
Another key difference, and in our eyes an upgrade, is the back is no longer glossy plastic but a slightly mottled exterior making it easier to hold.
Other than that, the two phones are identical. there's no official White Google Nexus S UK release date, but expect to see the phone sometime in April.
It should be landing on the same £30 a month (ish) tariff as its black brethren on Vodafone - at least now you can decide which version suits you better.

Ok samsung needs to make a non glossy black battery cover ASAP!!!
+1 to SupaDupaFly24!!!
I think the phone looks a bit odd because the front is still just black.
The black cover on the white phone looks cool though.
All they did was change the back? not the front or the bezel?
The non glossy back is a great idea though.
When will they make black battery covers like that?

anyone in here paint their EVOs? first I did the paint scrape mod, ending up with black-red-black, then i bought the back plate and battery cover in stock white so I ended up with a bunch of color combinations...now I painted my original (the one I scraped) plate and battery cover baby blue and gave it a few coats of clear.
I think it looks nice.

That looks pretty damn sexy...I really want to do this mod but with my luck ill break my evo and SOL since It voids your warranty.

I've painted mine as well. I originally had the white evo, but after having it fall out of my pocket on the pavement, it had a few dings where the red plastic was showing through. So I decided to sand it down and paint it. Except that I was sorta lazy and just used what I already had, and just a few weeks prior to this, I had been repainting the bumper on my black car.
So I disassembled it, sanded it down to get rid of the dings (the plastic is disturbingly soft), and then just did the 1-2-3 punch of plastic adhesion promoter, base coat, and clearcoat. 2-3 coats of each, naturally.
I think it turned out pretty ok, though I left my battery cover as-is.
I took some photos to document the process here. Unfortunately I had to use flash on these shots, and it ends up looking sorta worse than it does in real life.

looks great. you did a better job in terms of procedure. I think this is my best job so far but it's far from perfect...I'm still learning!
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Thanks, I do plan on repainting it something other than black at some point, but for now this is preferable to having visible dings on the body.
I like the color you chose for yours and it looks really nice. I'm impressed with the fact that you were able to keep the HTC lettering metallic while painting the rest of it; regardless of whether you masked them off or just removed them and then re-attached them, it had to have been kind of a pain.
That said, I think I prefer the stock white back on that; it color-coordinates really well with the back of the case.
Also I noticed that you painted the inside of your kickstand white. subtle, but a nice touch.
I did this a while back for my gf...
The problem with this is once you put a case over it its pointless. Better off just painting a case. Does anyone really use an Evo with no case?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I don't use a case.
wow...props, that looks bad azz! but yea...i'm clumsy so i dont think i could pull that off without breaking it some how

I feel the same about phone cases as I do bras for cars. Maybe they protect your phone, but they look stupid. I'd much rather have a scratched up phone than a stupid looking case on it. BTW, I bought my Evo on launch day, never used a case or screen protector, and you have to look very hard to find any imperfections.
*sorry to get off topic - OP, I'm digging that shade of blue... very nice job.
Hey guys, check this Xperia Arc out.

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?

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

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?
