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.

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.
Grr not real hapopy considering I had to order it online.. good thing it was Costco.com

Yes, it is unfortunate, but a lot of the manufacturers are using chromed plastic now a days. This is the second one I have seen with an issue of having the chrome come off. Not really too bad considering the number sold, but I know, bad if it happens to you. Get a replacement and happy Thriving.
I saw a post on Toshiba's site where a guy had bought two Toshiba-branded screen protectors for his Thrive. Well he went to remove one and it left the entire screen covered in a sticky, adhesive mess. Seems they can't even get those right either, let alone the dysfunctional device it's supposed to be protecting.
I can't divorce this company fast enough.

Do you actually own a Thrive? All I see you doing is flaming the unit and Toshiba. Im not defending them if they wronged you more power to you... but I feel skeptical. Im just sayin...

Well seems like someone still sees something they like, sleep of death and wake issues were fixed, we have some custom roms, and netflix...sounds like a good day to me.
Hey guys,
I'm having a problem with the display on my G2. I spotted a grey spot on my display. It's not very big and can only be seen if your in a dark room and the display is black. Sounds really like a minor issue, but now that I know it's there, it just bugs me.
Any of you guys have an idea what this is, or having the same problem? (Just test it out)
I'm not sure if this is reason enough to get it replaced

You can't see it very well, because I just don't have a better way of taking a picture from it than my Nexus 7

I won't look on mine... because if it's something common I will have it for sure.. and I know myself it will bug me till the end ...
Anyway looks like glue residue or something in that matter, in case you do not have a screen protector.
If you can prove it to the store, get it replaced... This is a flagship device. Prestige one... Even minor appearance problems shouldn't be there.
Personally if I had it there and as you say, you can see it, get it replaced, and you never know if this i snot a beginning of something bigger? What if your screen falls off? (bit paranoid, but you know what to say in the store if they gonna give you hardtime )
Get it replaced! A $500 phone should not have that.

yeah, get it replaced if you want to. But i have a dead pixel on my G2, it bugged me for about a week, but ive forgotten its even there now haha

After being happy for a few days with my second Z5 (First one had backlight uneveness, changed out next day), I stumbled upon yet another QC error by Sony. This time around there is dust stuck beneath the frosted glass. Now you might say "Oh it's just a scratch!" I looked at it from multiple angles, under bright light and also with an electronic microscope. There are no indentations to the surface, which leaves me just as baffled as most of you on how this happened . This is a REV4 model, everything else works wonderfully though, barely any camera fringing and no uneven backlight, haven't tested water proofness yet, but that wasn't important to me. Needless to say I'll be exchanging it tomorrow because the shops that have it in stock have closed for the night.
So just a warning on another thing to look out after buying your new Xperia Z5!
Why do you do this to us Sony, we only want your products :crying:.
PS: Here's the unresized images if you want to peep: Image 1, Image 2.
You bought it that way for sure.This ''thing'' can not go almost to the middle of the phone by itself.Just one more thing that we need to look closer before buying.And Sony is not doing this intentionally,bro. ( : Just bad luck.
No disrespect intended but the absolute last thing I am worried about is a piece of dust under the back glass. In my opinion, trivial.
return it. if you're spending $400+ usd on a phone it should be pretty darn near perfect.

See I fully agree it is trivial. But the fact that is there will drive me crazy. Considering cheaper phone manufacturers can deliver better QC, I expect cream of the crop from Sony. Call me picky or pedantic, but for a price of the phone there is no excuse.

Seems kinda neat. Ordered the case because it was only $5 more. Liked the grip case on my previous phone. Not the cheapest option, but i've not see knockoff skins around for cheaper.

That looks pretty cool. It certainly would make your phone look different.
Looks really interesting, I will give it a thought
I have one coming in the next week or so, I'll post my thoughts and what i think of the skin when it arrives.
This also happens to be my first DBrand skin as well.
Pretty sick but I cant justify 25.00 for it
I ordered this for my pixel 4xl only to find out they put a jeffery epstein reference on it. I will be sending that order back when I receive it.

Got mine Thursday!
I opted for the case and skin.
Got my case and skin the other day. Installed the skin like the installation video showed and it looked good. Two days later the skin developed several bubbles that I can't get rid of. Not terribly impressed right now. I sent email to Dbrand and will wait and see if they can help me.
Maybe try to heat it up lift it up carefully and reapply. Then reapply heat and smooth it down once more
Dbrand has been really great. I explained my problem with the bubbles forming and they suggested a couple possible remedies. When the suggestions failed to correct the problem they sent me a replacement skin. No hassles no grief they just stepped up and helped me out. I'm impressed. Thanks Dbrand.

That reference would be the only reason to buy it! Don't hate cause it is true!
Grrr..Longer available.. I really like their cases in general. Added myself to the waiting list but it says they may not return...
