Here's another concept for your back cover.
We already have the chrome style, now we have the carbon style
Made in 10 minutes with 3M carbon vinyl.
What do u think?
Looks nice
question. isn't the reason for the metal battery cover that metal dissipates heat better than plastics? so covering it with a plastic would cause the phone to heat up more?

I think not. I have no problem with that so far and my battery life is good, it also depends of which rom u use.
Nice. But its already been done.

I've one upped you!
My phone has a back cover that is made out of actual carbon fiber. I guess it pays to have a friend working as a machinist for a racing team.

Got bored of painting xbox 360 controllers and cases, tried my evo..
Opinions?
Steps:
1 Disassemble phone (Take off back cover, unscrew frame)
2 mask off non paint areas
3 sand
4 primed painted with Dupli-Color Adhesion Promoter (3 light coats)
5 painted color (Krylon Fusion 3 light coats)
6 painted clear coat(Krylon Fusion 3 light coats)
7 reassembled.
In my opinion, you need a new camera. Or maybe I need to get my eyes checked. I'd ask for a second opinion.

Yea, sorry for the **** camera quality :/
Hmmmm....if only there was red carbon fiber dinoc. ;(
Looks good, but slightly to much like the red xbox controller for my tastes.
i guess the thread title was "check the quality of my camera"
phone looks good. Glad to see you made it your own.

Yeah, I wanted to get a glossy paint like underneath the kickstand.
The paint was too expensive as it was automotive paint... but i think it came out pretty good.

Orange peel much? Maybe its the camera but it looks like the finish on a refrigerator.
hats off for the idea tho. But I like black personally lol.
ehh its ok to me but i like the stock better in my opinion i guess i like my electronics clean looking
The camera doesn't do it justice, it actually is very slick and works well with the red inside and under the kickstand..ect..
i love it
what kind of paint did you use?
how did you paint the sides?
Edit:btw it looks great love the red,but im just lookingto color the saids.
Don't pay any attention to those that bash! They have their insecurities that need to be displaced by putting others down. This planet would be much better without them!
Like the saying goes: "mean people suck"!

Goes really well with the color scheme,
I have one on ebay, bid is currently at $679.66 USD.
illd end the auction right now if you give me 800 ..deal?

Love it! I use two jumbo binder clips held together with tape and a rubber band, lol. Office kludges ftw.
in a week I'm gonna be going to a concert. I need to get my phone waterproof prior to the concert. I'm gonna go cheap easy and efficient. my initial idea was use 2 condoms just to prevent liquid from getting in on the phone. then I started to think I'll need the camera to take pictures and video but theres condoms covering the camera and taking away from the clarity. Its there any easy easy way to achieve this.

Isnt there lube in most condoms ? Wouldn't that mess up something? It's been a while since I used one,probably explains my three kids existing

Yes, most do. But, you can get "dry" condoms. Problem with those is that they really aren't clear.
Double seal ziploc bag would do the OP better.
(see, this post/thread has nothing to do with modding...hehe)
Yeah.. I was going to say not go the the ones with lube lol...
That would be funny
A good clean Saran Wrap job may work. Its Cheap to try. Test it out. It may cost you a few feet of clear plastic wrap. a couple layers may do the trick
shrink wrap like you put over your window in the winter time at least those of us who live up north

Funny but you might have better luck burning the seams closed with a lighter rather than trusting the ziplock itself old school baggie style

A vacuum sealer (the ones for food)...they heat seal. Or dip it in hot wax. (No seriously...don't do that).

yeah, shrink wrap would work well. I used to mess with one at my old job, if you find a place that shrink wraps, they might even be nice and just do it for you, I imagine you can still use the touch screen without difficulty too. What on EARTH is intended to happen at this concert? I've been to a few with my vibrant and it was never at any risk of being submerged in water?? Ha

Well, sounds like all he wants to do is avoid it getting wet from rain. And it would do the trick. But, these would do it even better. I know for a fact that these work, as I have used them before when kayaking.
So i just got my refurb a week later.
I noticed some things...
1) The plastic it came with had a little hole for the FFC lol.
2) the camera band-outside is green instead of clear like my old one... is this a different camera or something?
and....
IT HAS 2.2!!!!!!!!!!!
A modified phone? you should change it again, or stay if you like FFC?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
the camera's on refurb/replacement phones have this little blue platsic stuff to protect the camera bezel in travel. it's not a solid sheet, it's just a "ring".
is that supposed to be funny because tmo screw you over ? PPP j/k

That's strange. After watching those disassembly videos I had the impression the metal part was quite thin that was shaped around the plastic frame. If you could deanodize the frame to its natural color it would look superb but that's just my opinion.

If i do that it will not shine, the aluminum doesnt shine, no matter how polished i made the engravers. So its better to leave it the same color as the all the edges
