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?

OMFG the pink one is cooooool

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

Yes, you can notice on the hole to pull out the battery, film is over the hole

I want! Hehe. Great to hide those faded marks on my arc

any links for this item?
i want the sides to be all black..
for preventive measure haha

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?

Evo with woodgrain battery cover

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.
Sent From My HTC Evo Using Tapatalk Pro!
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.

nope, i used a clear box with gloves so i didnt get any crap inside it
would superglue be alright to use under the corner of the touch module?
bottom right corner is lifting and nothing i put on it will hold it, ofcourse super glue would, just dont want it to stuff my module
would it be alright?
Whoa. Nice. It's a Panda Phone~ Lol.
Glad you survived the surgery operation >.<
just used superglue to stick the corner of the touch module down.
its stuck, it aint going absolutly no where, man this **** is strong, stuck my finger to my cloth, had to use salt water to get it off

Per schematics I looked at a while ago, and pictures I've seen, I think that the digitizer and the glass are bonded together. He probably just replaced the glass and digitizer at the same time.

That is not cheap solution digitizer cost money!Why replace it if it works?
This just has to be bullcrap!?

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/
ive done this before on a nexus one

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.

Things are supposed to appear on your phone's screen. If nothing appeared on your screen, that would be a problem.
yeah sorry but i would need a little better understanding of the question to help you out. what appeared on your screen? whats causing you problems?

Yeah, but what looks like WET SPOTS are NOT supposed to be there. Looks like some sort of screen damage. Do those spots go away when the screen changes?
are you talking about those hazy thingies?
Have you exposed your phone to a place with rapid ambient temperature/humidity change? this might be water under the glass?
or it could be a protector screen gone bad?
you need to be more specific otherwise because there seems nothing wrong beside that.

Looks like it might be the screen protector. At least he should hope that it's only the screen protector. If not, hope he has $$$ or $ and a steady hand.

or just try an hairdryer at low temp for a bit
now seriously, if that's just humidity under the glass, leave it off for two days with the battery cover open, best case scenario all of it will be gone without any sigh it was there.
if it is water try opening it up .. and putting it in a bag rice for a day or two ..

Nokia 8 - WP8 Device Mockup

Hey guys!
I was bored today and created a mockup in Blender 2.6.
So what do you think?
Huge screen, super thin and an elegant design!

I dunno why, but I like sharp edged devices. This doesn't scream "Nokia" to me though.

I think you may be right. This isn't what we used to see from Nokia.
Anyway, Nokia is the only WP device manufacturer I like but their design is worth to be redesigned to a new modern and elegant type of design. They don't look bad, but they don't look as good as many other devices.
Thats why I created this mockup.

why is this in black and white....why not add colors ?
I thought black and white is more elegant than the bright colors from WP.

Screw new start screen, I want "BUY NOW" button
// of course that the "silver" parts would have to be aluminium or some other metal! Not any (cheap) plastic or such stuff!
