Just got my 'Dork' kit from today

Just got my Dork Gizmo kit with a Hard Shell Case for travelling and an HDMI cable,USB cable and a key hook? Weird. (Suppose to say from 'Amazon' dunno why the hell it didnt appears as i typed it.)
Here's the link if anybody is curious.
http://www.amazon.com/Gizmo-Dorks-S...142S/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1307720366&sr=8-6
Im very happy because its a very good price!
I got everything now except the Skinomi which I intend to buy.
Even got 32GB Kinsgston.
If anyone has a question please shoot.
Cheers!

I got the same hardshell so far I love it! Keep us posted on the 32gig card I'm still saving pennies for that one lol.

Well I use my 32GB card today and its real nice to have aloooot of space.
And it works fine! Speedy, Kingston class 4.
I love the hardshell too, its a liiiittle bit hard to close the hard shell with the protective casing on but still it works! And that makes it awesome for travel.
Next thing is Skinomi screen protector and im done!
Loving my Acer more and more everyday!
Just wish they would make a keyboard dockstation so one can have the option of using it as a notebook and of course double the battery time or more since the dock would have batteries too.
The one they released not is a f-ing joke...

I bought this package from the suggestions here. I love the hdmi and the usb cables. I had thought that the case would be a tight fit, but loving the price and package.

I have the standard Acer gel case. Do you think there is enough room for the tablet to fit in the hard case with the gel case on it? It isn't thick. I really like that hard case.

I would think that you can fit the gel case in the hard case. Its pretty roomy, and I think its a little TOO roomy for my taste

I use it with the official Acer case INSIDE the other Hard Case(the one that look identical to Ipads) and I have no problem with too much room, in fact its borderline to tight but it feels sturdy and safe.

Give me another 10 hours. I am not near a computer
opps. Just figured out I can upload it from my phone. Hope that helps.

Yes I believe they do, you can just proceed to checkout when you are in Amazon after adding it to your basket and then you can confirm if you can receive it in your country.
But I believe it should be able to be delivered worldwide yes.

[DEFECT] Gap between glass and casing. Whose got it?

Does your SGS3 have a gap down the left hand side of the screen?
Is dust building up in it?
If so, post a photo, if you can
I am returning my first SGS3 today as there is a gap between the glass and the casing.
Dust is building up in it and it looks rather unsightly.
I was just wondering if it's just me or not.
Can you see the line of dust down the left side of the screen?

Mine has a small gap but I can't see it with the case it's in.

OP are you sure its not a HOX you're using? ;-P

I have got another one, but im afraid its still the same.
To be sure, I'll have to have it for a few days and see if any dust accumilates in it.
I looked at another one in phones4u and the screen is perfectly alligned.

Dont have it. Take some tooth brush and clean it.

I don't think the bristles of a toothbrush would get in the gap to be honest.
That's bedside the point anyway It should be perfect!

I just ran my nail along the gap and managed to dig out the few flakes of dust in there, so a toothbrush should work fine.

afaik all the samsung mobiles i have used had micro gaps, its the way it is designed. cant notice the gap in s3 as it is white, but it will have it surely.
btw the micro gap is required to absorb the shocks. else all the shock will reach out the screen easily.

The problem I have is that on the left side the gap is quite substantial. Where as there is no gap at all on the right side.
It's like the whole glass part it too far over to the right.
I have seen another blue S3 at Phone 4u and there it an equal gap on either side; so I know for sure there is a problem with this batch at the 3 store.

My white one has no such gap. At least nothing I can discern anyway...

Use this. It's fantastic at keeping nooks and crannies of electronic devices clean.

Yeah cyberckean is pretty pro.
Also, thumbs up for everyone who is now inspecting the edge of their phone for the first time?
I have a little gap at the top of my screen, but its not gathered any dust.

You are not the first to bring this issue up, so I'm thinking many people have this issue but only a few of them will notice it.

I thought there was one, it is moving slightly. But guess that's good, firmness bad for drops.
It is also an optical illusion! Depending on the lighting angle. Does it look like a big gap on the left? Flip the phone upside down, the gap is still on the left it doesn't flip. Not worried now after noticing it, you had me for 20sec.

Silver to Black attempt

I bought the HTC One in silver since it was the only colour stocked by O2. But i do really prefer my phones in black so tried making a sticker for the front and back. Here's my attempt, its not perfect but what do you guys think?

I don't think so. You can see some air bubbles under the sticker and the seams from the white dividers on the top and bottom

Sell This
Can you describe how you did this and or sell a kit? This would make me feel better about pre-ordering a silver One.
Surely OP will deliver!

Im a part time graphics designer and have access to a vinyl plotter and endless types of vinyl. So i got to work by creating a template of the front/back for the plotter, loaded the matt black vinyl and let the plotter do the rest.
The hard part was measuring every aspect of the fone, as you can see for the front camera n sensors I got the measurements slightly wrong.
In the future i would love to try carbon fiber vinyl on this.

Im gonna plasti-dip mine since i got the silver. Gives you color options, adds some protection and gives it a nice grippy surface... :beer:

i willingly could buy your silver device if you dont like it even its not announced yet offcialy in my country. just checkin' picks

I don't care about black or silver.
The main thing is, the surface is not shiny.
That's why I always liked the phones from HTC (my One is on the way )

would you be willing to start making more of these and selling them?!

I think a matte sky blue...a la Volvo's blue in their performance line...but matte or satin would look amazing on the One.

So. Jealous. I wish I could convince my boss that we need to get one, unfortunately we have no use for one so....:crying:

Awesome work Kasa! Any chance you'd be willing to share the plotter file so we could hit up a local shop and get our own vinyl cut?

Steel wool? New look htc one?

Hey is anyone with a htc one willing to rub it all over (except the glass) with some steel wool or something similar? The beveled edge looks great and shiny...
What would the one look like?
Worth a go or has anyone got any insight into why it wouldn't be a good idea...

i wanna see that too. ahahaha! i remember someone did that on the htc sensation before. i just dont know if its worth it on htc one. :laugh:

I could not imagine that it looks good, you would never get it like the edge I think ...

It would look brushed, but matte instead of shiny I reckon

Come back in a couple of years and they'll all look like that.

if you make it right, it will look like this:

It probably isn't a terrible idea if you like the shiny look. I love the way my one looks now but if it were scratched up at all i would give it a shot.

I may not be familiar with this but on a personal POV. I don't like it It looks like one of those brandless china phones I see

If with this finish scratches up how long do you think it would last without scratches if it's polished to a mirror finish?

I wouldn't run wire wool over my £300 car with, let alone my One!

Maybe try it on a demo model in-store. Let us know how you get on

All you would have to do is buff the scratch back out. That is the great thing about metal.

With many (if not most) cases, when the phone is face down the screen is raised from the surface. So if your phone falls face first, the screen won't make contact with the surface. Obviously if the surface is very jagged then the display may hit it. The case (particularly dual layer varieties) also adds a little bit of shock protection that will help decrease the chance of shattering the screen from blunt force to other parts of the phone.

I'm about to go into this thread and tell you to try flashing stock rom....

This thread made me remember an article I read awhile ago...

today I sent it to repairs, they couldn't give me any estimate of price, but when I hear from them I will report back with that info and when they repair it if possible I will also report final cost.
Only thing they estimated was that it is going to take about 2 weeks!
My One is she because well it's my One but not only and it also seems to break up easily..
It had this kind of case, but did not help when dropped face down since there was some small rocks.
