Just received my fish-tank lens from usbfever.com
http://usbfever.com/index_eproduct_view.php?products_id=867
Funny gadget, wanted to try it... cost me $23 shipping included.
Thuis camera hasn't got the ability to focus on the whole image of course, so here's an example of what it does:

Same one apparantly... oh well a few dollars cheaper
Can you possibly take a pic with and without that lens to see the difference? =)
oh and does it work with the magnet and fits perfectly?
Ok, it's dark over here and as you know the camera sucks pretty hard then but this will give you an idea. Both pictures taken from exactly the same spot.
Also, the magnetic ring on the back cover (sticks with 3M tape) and the fish-tank lens on it.
Whoa that really is a big difference!
Does it fit to the original case with that ring?

As you can see in the third picture it fits the original back cover.
It sticks out a little bit (exactly 1 mm), but it's not very annoying to me.
I tried to put the magentic ring on the inner side of the back cover, but the cover didn't easily fit on the phone itself and the magnetic force was too low to hold the lens. So it has to be on the outside of the back cover.

Why A Case? Why not an entire metal or aluminum replacement for the back of your Epic and a screen protector for the front?
Anyone know of a place where I can get one of these in metal?

Kinda wishin I did 3D printing now
+1 on battery cover instead of case. Not too sure about metal though, because won't metal interfere with signal? Can't wait for extra battery cover to come out so that I can. Paint it myself.
Sent from my Epic 4G
I never thought about the whole signal thing, but I wouldn't mind trying it out anyways. It would add style, durability depending how it is built. I am thinking some rubber bumpers on the inside to protect it from shock. This phone did cost a grip - so forgive me if I want to make sure I dont damage it prematurely.
The fascinate already has its battery cover for sale on samsung online store...why not the epic. ugh samsung, whaaii?!
Yeah...metallic back! Sweet! I want a brass mesh so I could show off the insides, too! That'd be cool.
/snicker
Metal would almost certainly have an impact on signal. There are things you can do to avoid it, like making sure the metal is placed in a way where it will not cover the antenna, but you would need to know a lot about the phone to do that. You can test this out very easy, get a piece of aluminum foil and place it over the back of the phone. Use an application like "Real Signal" to get a reading of how much it hurts/helps your signal.
I need a new battery cover already also. The rubber coating is peeling off the back of mineon the corners. :-(
at the very least a replaceable rubber grip back cover pref with galaxy branding. my vote goes to rubber bamboo combo
After chillin with the phone for a while I'm kinda getting used to the default hardware. I could use a rubber case though. One that wrapped around the whole phone and incorporated a screen protector.

If you have an extended battery + door, you likely have bleed over from the flash. My particular door is a grey/bronze color, and the flash bleed was a greenish tint, which ruined any darker shots which required the flash.
Here is an example of what flash bleedover looks like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
and an example of a battery door that doesn't perfectly match the differences of height between the nexus one's camera lens and the flash. If you look closely at yours there is a .022" or difference, which allows the flash to bleed into the camera's lense section.
this is the battery door for my cheap $14 ebay 2700 mah battery and the $0.99 phone skin i hacked up to fit the battery door. (shrug) it works and doesn't look terrible from arms length.
closer shot of the battery door and the fix:
and the resulting picture with full flash and using touch focus (cyanogen nightly has an AWESOME camera app now!)
You can see the flash bleedover is completely gone. All you need is a bicycle repair kit, or a piece of gasket material, or black tape. Whatever is available will work, but adhesive backed material will keep it from moving around when switching batteries. (sweet)
Make sure you place it as close to the opening as possible, so as not to get any adhesive on the camera lens.
Sooo now you have 4-5 hours worth of solid still/video thanks to your extended battery, and can actually USE THE FLASH while doing it. Cool.
Maybe my battery door was the exception, but I doubt it. Post your results and methods here.
what a ugly mouse...

hmm, hadn't thought of that really. works great, batteries last for a month (rechargables AA).
i'll update to the newer model if/when it's time to get another apple keyboard wireless kb.
man it would rock if my kb worked with HID on the nexus
Does anyone have one of these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320715342088&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
Is it really OEM? Are the materials the same? Aluminum and plastic? Does anyone have any pics they can share? Thanks!
That looks sick! I would definitely get one later on after I've accumulated more blemishes on my current back plate.
Looks nice. I may get a backup back instead of a case. It looks legit. May be bootleg though.
That looks great, but here's one that looks closer to oem and costs less.

man that black/silver back looks pretty nice...
I just noticed the black and silver doesn't have the antenna mount holes on it. I wonder how reception and death grip is working with that one.
I think the point of this was directed at people who is interested in switching away from the tricolor-ed back.
Edit:terrible English fix

The seller just responded my question about the item and I guess the black parts are really brown??...See below...
Dear cellapod,
Is this an accurate picture of the product? Are the colors black and silver?Is it really OEM, Meaning are the materials the same as the stock cover (aluminum and plastic)? Does it have all the right sensory parts underneath the cover?
"hi, this is photo of the item itis brown and grey original part"
Excellent
I like both back covers, but the silver one is more my taste. I will wait until they show up for a couple of bucks on Amazon.
Hopes crushed

I sewed this case a few days ago for my phone. All of the materials are up-cycled/reused. The fabric is an old bandana, the board that gives it rigidity is cardboard from a shoebox (very strong and thin!), and the elastic is a strap that fell off of a notebook. I suppose, if you want to get picky, the thread is new material. It was just laying around and doing nothing though, so it's not like I bought it for this project.
The phone straps in to the case, and it has a port-hole for the camera and speaker. You can not see the hole for the speaker because I did not cut the fabric, just the cardboard. This way particulates are kept out of the speaker, but you can hear it just fine.
The case folds over the back where the camera port-hole is, so when it is closed the lens is protected. The case will also fold up nicely into a stand for the phone, which is certainly the most important aspect of this design for me. When the case is fully closed the power and headphone ports are still accesible. The case extends far enough above and below the device that the top and bottom edges would not be damaged in a fall.
The elastic holds the phone in place surprisingly well, and does not block the front facing camera. I have use Skype while the phone is in the case in kickstand mode and it works wonderfully.
This is just my prototype. I have some neodymium magnets on the way, so I'm thinking about either adding them to this to get the flap to seal nicely, or adding them to the next version. Another option would be to make credit card/ID/money pockets, but obviously I would not want to have those and magnets. Which one do you think would be more useful?
Edit: 2013-05-03 Fixed image.
Looks beautiful, very nice and creative.
Thank you! It was a fun little project. It's been pretty functional too.
I'm working on version 2 which will have neodymium magnets that will clasp it closed and hold it in kickstand mode. Since I have the magnets to hold it in a triangular prism shape, and it doesn't have to fold back on itself like this one does, I'm able to eliminate one of the big panels so it is thinner when closed. I'll post a pic when I finish it.
This looks great, you should make/sell some cases on Etsy
Hey guys I recently bought a UAG casing for my S5 online, and I realized that it doesn't really fit? I'm not sure but it looks like the casing isn't wide enough for the phone or something. Alot of times it feels liek the phone is "popping out" in a bad way, and I can see the gold trim around the phone too.
Do you think I bought a fake one? Cos it's very tough to remove the phone from the casing too and I can hear the creaks and feels like the phone is gonna bend or something!

It depends on where u bought it online? I have a clear one and right now prefer it over a ballistic case and a spigen slim armor cs case. Fits perfectly, and the phone is secure in it. It can be a little tough removing the case, but I prefer it that way... :good:
Mine fits perfectly in my case. It is a little hard to get out, but that it because it fits so perfectly. You shouldn't see any gaps or even any part of the bezel. I have seen a lot of fake UAG cases where they are, for lack of a better term, "warped" and don't fit snuggly, leaving gaps around the bezel. I would be a little concerned that you got a fake one. Where did you buy it? Also, the pics posted aren't coming up on my end to look at it.
