Has anyone used any of the skins from this site? I am interested in ordering one, but have had bad luck doing this before with my last phone, the HTC Touch Pro...
LINK: http://www.decalgirl.com/category.view/HTC-Hero-Phone-Skins
I was looking at these myself but I don't like the coverage on the phone. I was hoping for something closer to the zagg protective skin in terms of how it wrapped over the phone.
I was thinking about getting one of these, then putting a clear Invisishield over it, when bestbuy gets them (I have a giftcard, or I would just get it offline).
sprint says skins you can even custom make one but they get pretty high in price up to 17 for a customized one i believe.

your statement has me confused.
wow my bad typing to fast and studying at the same time, on sprint.com they sell skins for the hero. i think they start at around 7 bucks, but if you customize one with your own jpeg, they run up to 17 bucks.

Ahhh gotcha, that makes much more sense. I never paid sprint much mind for accessories since, I've always assumed they never had anything I couldn't get somewhere else for better/cheaper. I'm going to look now.
Zagg now sells color printed Zaggshields. For the person who was thinking of decal girl+invisible skin.

Zagg doesn't have the printed skin for CDMA Hero Yet. Only HTC devices with it are Touch HD/Pro.
So i got this idea from one guy who put the 3M carbon fiber skin on EVO, But the problem was the curvy shape of my beloved Nexus. So I tried a few things and wasted some Vinyl but finally i bought Best skins ever skin for $8 and used it as a stencil and cut out the vinyl with my xacto. here are the pics. I liked it a lot so i thought i'll share with you guys.
That.....Looks.....AMAZING! Do tell....
Wanna give me the skin you didn't use? ;-)
Sent from my Nexus One
looks really cool ive been looking for a carbon fiber cover
That looks so sexy!!!

Agreed, you've 'riced' up your phone.
i dont think its any more ricing up than putting on a case. isn't ricing up to give it some sort of performance enhancement that doesn't really enhance anything?
Well I know why some of you don't like it. as my wife does not like it too she also has a nexus and she likes the feel of 'naked phone' if i may say .
My only problem with cases is that if i use them then my desk-dock becomes useless. plus i dont like always to be super careful about keeping my phone anywhere and scratch it.
you know what, it looks pretty good but the only problem is the weave is too large. maybe get a smaller weave vinyl.
care to share the stencil?

FYI you guys can get overstock Carbon fiber sheets and m3 adhesive strips like used above from a guy named racingjeff on ebay. What this stuff is microthin carbonfiber with m3 adhesive on the back. They use it to make the CF dash boards in teh bling bling honda's you see on the road. I've deal with Jeff for years buying real overstock 3mm CF sheets. Guys a really good guy.
Personally I don't think it looks bad at all. I wouldn't do an entire phone in carbon fiber but it looks nice enough to me.
I'm going to cover my HD2 battery door using the same carbon fiber sheet. I'm also considering buying a couple of battery doors from ebay and experiment a little. I want to polish one battery door to a "mirrior finish" and I want to try painting one using Krylon just to see how it will come out.
I've painted all sorts of crap like Blackberry housings, golf clubs, furniture and I have the technique and prep work down to a science so we'll see how it goes and I'll make sure to post pics when complete.
I applaud dude for having the balls to experiment!

I like it but the CF grids are a little large. I would like a tighter patterns. Heres the guy I use. Granted its not going to be $8 because its real CF.
http://shop.ebay.com/racingjeff/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25
Email him and tell him what your planning to do, he's super cool and will send out samples and all his stuff is the real deal, not look alike CF.
Is there a ay you help me out, on how to make the vinyl go so nicely around the corners? specially on the curvy parts... ive tried b4 with other vinals, and i cant get it to go nice on the curves, i always get extra stuff
hi guys, anyone know of a case that has a kickstand, but not the zenus one or the pdair clip on thing. pdair is too big for me and i just dont like the zenus one.

+1 Plzzzz help! I found an awesome kickstand case which is the only one there and i wish to have it by all means..! ;-S
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
that is FABULOUS! Where on earth did you manage to find that website?
I did a lot of research. It was like at the end of google search. lol.
Any other similar websites that you want to share? You seem to be a grandmaster on this.
As for using the website, use google toolbar to translate the page. The first one says case. The problem is what happens next. The selections are not in the same order as the pictures. I can't figure out which one is for the kicker stand case. There's one called crocker diary, but it comes in a whole bunch of different colours, whereas the stand only comes in black...
Found another one (in the same website).
http://item.gmarket.co.kr/challenge...cd=GE&pos_class_cd=200001759&pos_class_kind=M
The glossy one has the word "sold" next to it, so I guess only the matte one is available. 9,100 won, which is about 7.64 US$. Of course, the shipping fee is likely to be more than triple that.
I have finally found the case where the website is english. I guess they recently posted this because it wasn't there before. Here you go!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180552523253&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
I just order mines. I'll let you know how it is when it arrives.
Sweet. Did they mention how long it will take to arrive? Can't wait for your review.
I should prowling korean sites more often.

thanks so much for posting that ebay link!
Ahhh. You guys are evil! Stop making me wanting to order one without waiting for an review!
*Goes off to kidnap someone who can read korean*
HOLY ****!
I Tried buying that case of Gmarket but kept coming up with errors so i decided to buy the mesh case from ebay which cost me SGD$20(USD$15) with shipping.
The seller seliing the kickstand case also sells the mesh case for only about USD$10 with shipping too!!
Damnit.. bought my case too earlier, i wanted the kickstand case so badly, but i would prefer the rubberised one as seen on Gmarket
Wait, what? There's a rubberised kick stand case? Link please

The one on Gmarket that the other guy is talking about is a matt black color - it is hard case, not rubber. This one is glossy black. I also saw white glossy and a pink color as well.
Is there a picture of the matt black case? I haven't seen one yet. I want to know if the silver bit is matt as well.

The metal piece (the standing piece) is still metal.
it looked like rubberised or soft-touch to me ...
Goddamn that kickstand case (ebay link) is so sexy!!! I can only just resist buying it, as I've already spent too much on accessories...
Only problem is, does it properly clip on to the phone? It looks like it doesnt lock over the front of the phone 0_0.
But in all seriousness, that thing is godly. Koreans sure know how to design quality products!!!
I'm also tempted to try and replicate the metal part for a homemade kickstand... sounds like a good project!!!
I was given a few from radioshack but It involves me trimming them to fit. I suck at that **** and it never comes out right. Is there a proper way tot rim the screen protectors and measure them? I took off the oem one because the tab kept pulling itself off
Forget universal. go to a t-mobile corp store and buy them there, you get two and they cover the screen completely.
Alway use the ones u gotta cut they cost less an I have muli devices with different size screens

I was the same way. but I feel that the universal ones are of a lesser quality and tend to scratch easier. Also cutting them just right is a pain.

I got my G2 yesterday and bought the screen protectors from T-Mobile. Didn't have them do it in store because I was in a hurry and when I got home and applied them they leave the screen looking very fuzzy.
Anyone else noticed this?
I am taking them back tomorrow.

I do like the feel of them plus they get no smears or fingerprints for me so good for swype and I'll wait til it goes bad then I'll go to ebay and buy like 10 for 5 dollars, they always work good for me from ebay and they take a while to scratch

Did you get the anti-smear screen protectors?
If so, how are they... i am still shaky on spending 15 dollars on (2) screen protectors
Yes these are the anti smear screen protectors and I am taking them back today. It bothers me to look at the screen for too long because it looks like it really gives a green or pink tint depending on how you look at the screen.

How does the screen protector feel with this product? It it kind of like the invisible shield? or it it more of a glossy "glass" like feel?
I had the MyTouch 3G and i could buy these awesome glossy screen protectors that felt just like the glass. Fast forwarded to the HD2 (just wanted a phone to mess around with) and the matte screen diffusers really irked me, so i dont want more of those if i can avoid it.

Not only are they anti-smear they are anti-glare. compare the protector to another glossy type and you will see that the glossy will reflect, while the ant-smear almost does not. you gain anti smudge/glare , but know the protector is disturbing the clarity of the screen. I just ordered Stealth Guards. I had this on my HD2. Its a copy of the invisible shield. It does not include the solution for install, but you can make your own, instructions included. It's free right now , only pay shipping (same deal on my HD2) 4 kits ran me $8.85. My HD2 has had it on about 6 months and it looks great and gives a nice feel to the phone.
I've read nothing but good reviews of this screen protector, had to get some for myself. I can't wait for that glass feel.

All anti-smear/glare protectors give a grainy look. it is due to the texture of the material. since it diffusing the clarity of the reflection it also diffuses the screen. ask an employee at a store if they can open a pack for you, so you can lay over the protector on your phone so you can get an idea.
personally its not that horrible. i just have it on until my stealth guards arrive.
Just ordered some stealth guards
I have had success with ebay seller dcmugen but don't know if he has our model yet.
You can get pre-cut sp's for cheap but if you really insist on cutting it like i did because i had an couple of hd2 sp's laying around use the plastic that came on the screen as a guide. take an exacto blade to it. i didn't want to mess with 2 rounded edges so i left the flat side and placed it above the menu buttons.
i tell you this much though, if you cut them the edges will be lifted slightly from the cut unless you file it. needless to say this is just a temporary solution for me until i either decide to return it or keep the phone in which case i would buy a pre-cut one.
Guys do any of you know how to select/buy the leather case showed in this page?( at the bottom of the page-->accessories)
http://www.omnia7.samsungmobile.com/
No, but I had the same question, just look a few threads under yours.
There should be handsets that have roughly the same measurements. Cases for these could be a workaround until something perfect is released. Problem is, I don't know how to efficiently find out which ones would fit. If somebody with a bit of spare time could find out, that would be great.

That case is an optional boxed accessory that networks/resellers can choose to offer their customers - and not something being sold (yet, at least) separately to customers. At least that's what Samsung UK told me when I asked.
i've seen some over at mobilefun.codotuk, including silicone covers and what i think is some sort of hard gel...anti shock cases... and the leather one you speak of.

They can even engrave XDA-DEV on the cases for a joke when i asked for no extra cost .... 5 colours
Any mods wanna see this lol ?

Hi any updates? I should be recieving my omnia 7 soon and want to get a decent case/screen protector as well.
Cheers
oh well, I ended up ordering that silicon case. I am also going to get some screen protectors/films just in case.
Sorry...sorry sorry... totally forgot lol, Will upload now. Going to go take some pics downstairs in good light.
Long post of Pics for anyone wondering what the Omnia 7 black silicone case looks like on the phone as not many suppliers seem to have pics on the ads yet. *when i bought it anyway* - Yes mine has a screen protector I think it looks fine with the case as you cannot see the edges on the glass much apart from two pics which show the holes around the windows button and the ear piece / sensors.
*4th pic down if you zoom in shows what the screen protector does as already my phones been across a few of the slate tiles in the kitchen*
I think I found the perfect 3rd-party case for the phone The 'Valente Leather Pocket 15'. It's still a little tight (not too tight) but I reckon it will loosen up in a few days as it is genuine leather... so the fit will be great!
Bought it for €15,- @ a retailer called the Phonehouse in the Netherlands.
also available online at: pdashop.nl/product/108532/
images below (note: although the phone doesn't stick out as much as in pic 1 when you push it as far as possible into the case, the corners do stick out just 1mm. so that's only a real concern when you drop it head-down)
Nice,
Found a few for
£3.99 + free p&p

&
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Leather-Track..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item2a0c26fc8a
£1.99 + free p&p. Looks very similar
Just ordered it the first one, so hoping it fits the phone with the silicone, If not, Extra one for when i get the missus one of these phones.... *sigh*
I have already used up 4 of the 6 screen protectors provided and still can't get it to set without any bubbles. Any tips would be welcome.
