I have a zagg protection on my phone, so scratches is not a problem

I will google that

I've made one myselfx, it's very easy. Just measure the screen, cut a clear transparent plastic and apply with a few drops of water with dish soap, then use a credit card to remove the air bubbles. Very very easy, cheap and effective. I don't even notice there is a layer of protective film on my screen

hi all,
only got my optimus the other day, but it does come with a very snug fitting screen protector, if u never took one off when you bought it chances are its still there.
have a pick around the buttons and see if you can lift a corner of the shield.
hope this helps

What did you use? I've taken off the coating with my nail which just scratched off.
I have no way of getting to a machine so it would have to be by hand.

I did it by hand as well, using 100, 600 and 1000 sanding paper, followed by metal paste (car chrome polish) and cloth.

Thanks. Ill try that.

1) black color peeled off, so cover was ugly
2) I really like duo-color case
3) looks more luxurious
4) why not?

Exactly..................

Dropped my 1 month old nexus 4, bezel dented :(

Is there any way to repair it? I dropped it from a ~1.5ft. edge and it already has a dent. The dent is on the bezel, and is seen easily if you bend the phone. Pic:

You can put a bumper on it .. it will hide the dent. Other than that, only a new bezel will help you.

Gosh, can I not just open the back part of the phone, and be able to hit the dented part from inside?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

that would void warranty,
you could try open it to push it back with a round metal object, if the phone is fine, either open it or hide it with a case

You're lucky you didn't crack the screen. You would of needed a complete LCD replacement. I would slap a case on it and call it a day.

It is a plastic bezel, so that would not do any good at all.
Like other people have said, it sure does not look as sleek as a naked n4, but just put a case on your phone

[COVER] SP Carbon Fibre back cover

The back of my Black SP has always looked very plain to me so I decided to change that, for very cheap (£1) I bought some Carbon fibre foil online and applied it to the back of my SP.
Here's the end result.

I think it looks very stylish and it's very cheap and easy to do. Also if you don't like the black one there are many colours of foil to chose from.
What do you guys think?

Wow, looks good and is cheap, could you post the link?
I have always been deterred by the 'foils' and 'stickers' but that actually looks nice, was it hard to apply? Also what does the texture feel like? :fingers-crossed:
Also this thread should be in the Accessories section not General.

It wasn't very difficult to apply other than the mic, camera and the speaker holes, the texture is hard to describe, it's both rough and smooth, it's grippy when dry but becomes slippery with moisture on it, overall I really like it!

(good point on the accessories section, I forgot it exists)

Wow, wanting to do this with metalic red or blue on frame

How does it feel when you touch?

Oneplus 5 Skin

So I wanted a oneplus 5 skin and seeing as the majority are still in pre order stage I thought I'd have a go myself. I have a vinyl cutter so once the material arrives I'll get it cut and post some pics, but here is the current design. (the pikachu is from a phone wallpaper I found online, so it's not mine originally)
I thought because of dash charge, and one of Pikachus moves being "dash" it seemed fitting.
If anyone else has some suggestions for cool skins, let me know and I'll see about knocking it up.

What vinyl cutter do you have? I want to buy a cutter and make these myself.
Do you already have a template? What format is it?

I made the template myself by using photoshop to draw over the back of the phone. The cutter I use is a Silhouette portrait. It's pretty cool.
their software allows you to trace the shape from a jpeg and convert it to a vector.

Perfect that's the one I was looking at buying.

Have you made the skin, how did it turn out? Do you have the vector file of the template? Would you mind sharing?
