Fish-tank lens for camera

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.

Even though its silicone, this case actually looks as if it was made to accomodate the Desire, especially with it's protruding chin
Let us know how it fits and whether it's worth the punt

Just bought one, for £1.99 its worth a go. I'm not gonna use it all the time, just when i'm goin out

It looks ok, however i'm a little unsure as to whether or not the design will effect the pressing of the Home, Menu, Back and Search buttons as it appears the silicone covers the actual buttons.

Just my luck, I paid £3.59 and they've put the price down since!
I was worried about the buttons being covered also, but it looks well thought out:

You'll have to let us know if the trackpad is still accessible...there's a hole in the case for it but will the thickness of the silicone impede on trackpad usage.

Seen a slight scratch on the paintwork and my gel case is too thick for pouch. may have to get one. in fact for £2 may as well.
Oh snap!! Never knew they had screen protector as well. cheap ones i got are ok but are tricky to apply. Hopefully its the same quality as my ipod touch and diamond 2

That's kind of what I need but not exactly, I wish it didn't cover up the physical buttons.
If anyone finds a clear silicone case which doesn't cover the bottom front part (where the physical buttons are), please let us know!
Although, I might get this one for now because I don't like my Desire being "naked".

Cheers for the heads up, can't go wrong at £1.99

can't really complain about the price but it's a bit difficult to tell whether or not it's really chunky, or slim like the Nexus One covers that people have been getting to fit.

Ordered the 2 pack with the screen protectors
Granted it will take 2-3 weeks to get here...$10 for a deal like that is pretty good

OEM HTC Hard Shell Cases for under $10

I was looking for the HTC metallic cases online, and found them on many sites for $19.95, which I didn't want to pay after seeing some posts on here saying the clips wore down. I found them on htcpedia.com for $8.99 for metallic, and $9.99 for the clear and black ones.
Links:

http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-hard-shell-cases-1.html
I've never purchased from them but you can use Paypal and there are customer reviews on the products so I gave it a shot. Just thought I'd share in case anyone else was interested!

What do you mean by metallic? are they metal or metal apearance with a plastic build..

That's just what HTC calls them, I don't know. Look at the pics?

Does metallic mean they're like my case? Mine looks plastic but the inside of it is metal, something about the signal, I don't know for sure.

Hmmm, if someone does decide to order, would like to hear a review on the quality.

Search this forum. There previous posts about it. Also a user from here made a YouTube video about the black one. Just search for it on there.
Also ime metallic refers to color and not material.

Here, I got the links for you.

Black/clear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTpyMfm_WHM & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nR-OS12ileM&feature=related

I have the clear case. Bought it at my local T-Mobile store for $9.99. It has a very snug fit but looks amazing as it lets the sexinesss of the G2 show. The case has the stand which allows the phone to sit up on its own in landscape or portrait. Be careful pulling case off the back of the phone. Very tight and if not careful will scratch phone.

I think you're mistaken - these HTC cases don't have kickstands. I think Body Glove or someone made that one.
Anyway, just a quick review - my case got here in 2 days with Fed Ex (NY to IL), I'd definitely buy from that website again. The case made the phone seem bulky at first but after the first day I was used to it, and it doesn't seem odd at all anymore. I like the finish a lot. I would recommend these cases, especially since they're made by HTC and that gives them the best fit possible.

They are great, but they really get in the way when typing on the top row of keys.
Nonsense!

I wish shipping wasn't $6

paint one s

someone painted his/her one s with a marker yet?
and whats the outcome does it look good or is it noticeable that it's painted?

Marker leave a slight discolouration as the ink a little shinier than the dull finish of the phone, but it isn't really noticeable unless you see it in bright light. But the problem is, markers wear off really quickly. Even an industrial strength oil and waterproof ink I tried.
I've tried satin black car scratch repair ink, looks better than the ink if applied nicely, but, it also wears off.

Yeah, I tried marker too, looked ok for a day or so, but it wore off again pretty quickly.
I wonder how easy it would be to take off ALL the MAO coating and have an awesome silver phone

Any better ideas?

The idea has been mentioned somewhere, guess the general forum. Apparently this has been done on the Sensation, looks really nice imho
Pull off the frame and sandpaper it, teardown instructions: http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?deskto...=&feature=player_embedded&v=b0jGY2N2h1U&gl=SE please do it now and post results!
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium

It has been done on the HD2 battery cover as well, carefully sanded and polished to a near mirror finish. I suspect that was steel though, isn't the One S aluminum?

I was 90% joking; the One S is aluminium which will just rust to a dull grey colour, right? Plus, easy as it seems to get small but noticeable chips in the MAO covering, I think getting the lot off would require some serious effort. Maybe 6 months down the line when my phone really looks like cr*p, but right now it is still doable with the occasional application of black marker!

Yup its aluminium, will look a bit Mad Max I guess especially if not done with a lot of effort

Accessories Carbon case

Finally came the carbon (aramid) fiber case for the xiaomi 12. This looks to be made by the same manufacturer as the Oneplus one's.
Build quality and fit are top notch, same as my old OP 6 case.
Don't know if links are allowed, but bought it at aliexpress.

Nice case indeed. Looks like a little bit more special than my standard black cases. What did you pay for it?

I’m curious if it block the access of SIM card?

I paid 23€ for it delivered. Yeah they were normal black ones, but having had the same in the OP6 I wanted a little change hahahaha. Both look awesome imo.

Yeah, unfortunatelly. But being a dual sim, I don't find myself changing the sim cards regularly.
Thankfully it's pretty easy to remove and clip on. Also it protects the full body, unlike the OP ones, so that's a big plus for me. All the holes cut to perfection
Another big plus it's that it wont interfere with any screen protector, as it clips just to the frame. Now I'm looking for a good screen protector that covers all the glass. If anybody knows one, please let me know, I'll be very grateful.

I also ordered the cover, I'm still waiting. Please, is it magnetic? THX

Thanks for the hint.
Loved that case style also on my OP 6T.
Ordered one from aliexpress.

It's pure aramid fiber, so not likely.
