Just thought I'd share this.
This is what I originally wanted.

Here are some pictures of the skin I have made for my phone. Not fully finished as of yet.
Just need a new battery cover now. Sorry about the picture sizes.
Thanks for looking.

Very interesting, but i can't see these images. Check the links.

Try it, it's really not that hard. I did it on my first try. All you have to do is warm the vinyl up with a hairdryer (that's what I used) so you can stretch it around the complex surfaces to get a wrinkle free finish. Finally cut the excess wrap/film and cut through the gaps with a blade. I know it may sound hard but it's not, unless you have butter fingers. The vinyl wrap isn't expensive either you can find then cheap on eBay/Amazon.

Question, what did you use to get the chrome off, and what brand of carbon fiber did you buy? Can you link to it?

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?

Black and silver combo looks cool why don't HTC doesn't think about it? This could be a possibly a 4th colour option maybe?

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:
Sent from 3D A.W.E.S.O.M-O

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.

That's seriously nice. Gives me faith that someone will make skins ala Nexus 4. Also makes me reconsider waiting for black.

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?

This thing is gorgeous! What do you think guys? Based from the tweets this will be only available in the UK

Much better than the green one that has been posted in another thread.

I want, I want, I want. It looks nice, too bad it is UK only (gotta love exclusives)
Sent from my HTC One running InsertCoin 2.1.0

Absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!

it looks awesome

I wonder if it's that coated paint like on the black that can chip or like the silver.

seen this in person, it looks A LOT better IRL than it does in photos... might be coming to Canada

anodized i'm sure... I wonder if we could get our aluminum anodized and make our own colors.... Of course it would have to be taken apart but hey, it could probably be done. I know a guy who anodizes, hmmm.
Red with a red bumpers would be hot!

That would have been nice to have. I wish HTC had offered the Developer Edition in special colors instead of the same silver and black. That would have been nice way to differentiate.

i was thrilled to read about 64gb version being offered in red by phones4u but to my great dismay, it's still a 32gb version on the pre-order.
why is it so hard to get a htc one 64gb or s4 32gb ?

Im from Canada so when a client came by my work with the Verizon HTC DNA I loved it. If the One came with that option it would have been the one I got.

On the topic of custom colours: if the phone *could* be taken apart safely I would already have mine Tonsixers anodized, but it's a sure fail plan

Isn't there a company that sells HTC One parts including speaker grills? Maybe you can get your wish soon.

I really like it. I hated the mock-ups from a few months ago but this thing definitely looks beautiful. Still prefer my raw aluminum look, but this is very nice.

If you add some gold trim, it might as well be called Iron Man Red lol

Honestly I prefer the darker shade of blue that was leaked previously than this shade. If it were more an azure blue I would totally love it. But red for me is still best.

why didnt make them at the release of the phone? bastards

Why are all the good colors on the ****ty carriers. Lets me guess, this blue one is a boost mobile exclusive.

This with an AOSP ROM are a perfect match ! :good:

I don't get why they can't just release all colors at the start.

HTC should make a trade in program .. give them your HTC One, pay a little and get your HTC One in whicheever color you like !

Why would you sell a phone in alot of colors if no one would buy it. They need to know if there are many people buying the One. Apparently they did not bad so they are adding colors now.

Odd. For a website the allegedly is in Chicago, they certainly have an unusual grasp of English. Text is about a tablet the "would" have certain attributes. Very odd.
As for me, FWIW I'd pass without checking MUCH deeper on the site!

Agree, it looks like a machine translated text, ''it would have a camera, it would have..."

Guess I'll buy a white one and wrap it in black vinyl... Thoughts on this?

Why not just get the dark brown? Mine looks pretty close to black to me. Also, I would NOT buy from that website. Too hinky.

Was there even a black one released? I thought it was only dark brown and white? If so, it's definitely cheesy.
