Anyone interested in getting sorta stylished outfits for 8525??

Well, the only concern I had with my Hermes was it is god dam big.
It's tolerable when it's without anything but I just want protect my 8525 from scratches.
I always cover my phone with plastic cover, but it looks so big when it's in my pant's pocket,
as someone once joked that he thought it was my PH.D(pretty huge D) skewed to left(or right),
and I'm an asian, the fact of which makes my figure pretty an irony(I can joke about my race, right??).
In my country, Korea, they cover phone with sorta printed plastic or film sticker,
which enables easy outfit reforms of phones as well as scratch protaction.
As they don't have 8525 in this country, I was looking for expansion drawings for 8525, which I couldn't.
I posted about this issue but no one gives a dam about that or my Eng was sucky.
Anyhow, I finally made it by myself. it's kinda not perfect yet.
I ordered plastic sticky sheet from cellphone reforming shop and I need to cut that sheet(or sh*t) by my self following the expansion drawing, but if they gets enough demand, I can ask for customized factory cut of the expansion drawing so that I(or we) don't have to waste my time for precise cutting.
I don't believe there would be such a huge demand, cuz this forum is for sorta geeks(at least a bit of), not for metropolitan-ambiguous gendered dudes.
So the product of covered phones will be like this::

I will post mine soon if I succeed in making a versatile outfit. I am making it with Paul Smith stripes, and you can also cover your phone with sorta like Gucci or LV or BMW, Jessica alba....and so on.
So if you are interested in getting something like that, post a reply or enter a poll.
Then I am thinking about supplying through ebay.
The cost of the cover would be around 15 bucks including shipping fee.
Customized order(of picture) would be more than that, I gotta ask the shop owner.
So anyone interested??
It's only available for 8525, or other Hermes model which has totally same outfit.
P.S- How do you call that kinda cover in English, if it has name?

[Q] Screen Cracks

I've got my shiny HD2 and i've fallen in love!
But after 4 days of owning i tripped today and my worst fear the screen crack!!! and its huge the screen is covered in 70% cracks. tho it still works but its hard to make out the keyboard in some areas
before all the posts about how to repair i used the search and am aware how to replace and purchase a replacement im looking at £32 on ebay and a few hours of time one weekend...
But now my question in my search for answers i've seen lots and i mean lots of info on this, is the screen the phones achilles heel. is there away to prevent this from happening. eg a good screen protector to help with the stress of dropping all falling!! would gel cases make a difference?
Basicly can i prevent this from happening in the future?
Regards
Wappy

cause you can prevent it, dont drop it!!lol, silcone case helps, ive dropped mine a few times and from height, just has to catch it at the wrong angle and it will go!

wondered how many posts it would be till some one said dont drop it lol
what i feared!.. is there a neck chain or a chain attachment available to i could attach it to my jeans so if it did drop it would only end up by my knee? but there is no hole attachment for it again meaning i have to hold it meaning my little fingers might drop it
Ahh MY old TYTNII I could throw it at people and it still worked lol, but im guessing bigger glass screen = more fragile!

Yeah, it sucks...this happened to my wifes phone like 3 months ago. It had a protector, but apparently a little rock on the floor hit the bottom part of the screen. $125 for a new phone.

the screen, for the size it quite tough, but it is glass!I had a LG BL40, dropped it after a week, chucked it in the bin and got this...apart from a couple of scratches, no cracks!!

well this is the damage to mine!
and with it still working
i've orded a gel case and a Vikuiti screen protector and hopefully that might help for the next screen

Re-branded (androidsticker)

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.

Maybe I will find an easy way to post pictures later, but do NOT take a hammer to your vibrant (because it has survived this long under UNintentional abuse) and hit it with a hammer and expect it to work afterwards. It probably won't. No matter how drunk you are. And regardless of how much you paid cash for your phone. Cash.
I am guessing no-one will warranty what a picture would show. Gorilla glass or not, do NOT hit it with a hammer to show how much more resilient it is vs. dumb phone. It is NOT that resilient. Learn from my mistakes. Seriously.
Now excuse me while I try to sink into the world or porn so the last thoughts in my head(when I should be falling asleep) are NOT how I tried to prove my samsung had more balls than you do.. besides, she is female, it obviously has more balls than she does..
I kinda wonder if this is a subconscious excuse to get a new phone next month when I have money.. but I think I would have waited till next month is closer. No, this is probably an exercise in stupidity, one you need not regret. Not to the point there are dents in your battery. Kicking myself constantly!
Edit: I have a few extra batteries laying around, but what do you want to bet it isn't the dented battery that keeps it from booting or making a sound? I'll bet you 500 bux(what it cost when it was new) it isn't the battery..
Edit2: A picture posted while I am not sober enough to care(I hope, we will see if I sleep..)

Neither is the stuff on the inside.. I know a dozen ways to make it make a sound, or show in adb.. if it worked at all. I have a feeling I am going to be far too sober before the drunken sandman shows up..

I can't fap to this.

I was fapping my shi* last night.. I was in the middle of d/ling a porn and lightly playing with my jack-o-lantern and I open up this post.
I just went to sleep after and kept my phone close to me like a virgin.

Dust under back of frosted glass - Yet another QC error.

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.
