Custom Skins, pics now up! - T-Mobile Sidekick 4G

Needed to start my own thread so I can update it and what not
These are controltac, I use them to wrap vehicles at work it is high grade stuff. The skins wrap the phone to give it clean lines and prevent something catching it, see pics. Unlike other skins out there these actually fit the way controltac is supposed to and they have cutouts for the front camera and sensors. I am a graphic artist and I work with the stuff all the time.
Buy from me I own the phone and know it fits since I use it too.
A controltac skin will help protect your phone without adding bulk and you can give it your own personal touch.
I can design and put anything you want on them, just throw me some images or an idea and I will make it happen.

Yeah, thanks for editing my original design. You made it look a lot better. If you stuck with my design it would look so boring. But then again I wouldn't have your design to compare it to. So thanks.
I'm wondering what the other skins look like applied. Post some pics, guys.

Here are some pics people have sent me

can u remove the skin and then put them on again or its just for one time?

I could, but I would need the phone to test it out on. When I build a template I use a skin from another company to start with and none of them fit right they aren't actual wraps like mine they are basically glorified stickers so I wouldn't wanna just build one off of one without testing first because I don't like putting out garbage lol.
I was thinking that I could open a contract, skin the phone, and then bring it back within the 30 day period but it's gonna be a few weeks before I can test that out

More pics
Here's a recent one I did

Thats my phone! Thanks again Mr Andrews!

wow these are awesome!

Red Trim "White" EVO ;)

So I found myself with some free time and decided to take an original Black Htc Evo and reveal that wonderful Red Trim that you have most likely scene around. Then slap a white Evo cover on it to give it one original kinda look (I Think lol) So I'm sharing with you guys for comments and ideas =)
Sweet. How's it look with black cover?

You that a razor and scrape it off you some fine sand paper and sand it off. I have heard most using 400 fruit to sand it off then using 1000 grit and wet sanding it

You have to take the phone apart and sand the paint off the one section. This thread has the directions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794451&highlight=black/red/black+evo

If I can get my hands on someones fresh EVO.. heck yeah i'd do a tutorial on it.. took me about 20 mins to get it all done..
I didnt take the whole thing apart like many people suggested.. I liked the look of the black still going around the headphone jack.. details
Funny thing about it is i used a sharpened pocket knife rather than a razor lol

[App] vLauncher Home Replacement

with some trimming up, smoothing out and speeding up, this iPhone-like home launcher could make it to the top of the list quickly. I think it needs some help when it comes to the window animations and it shouldn't rotate into landscape unless the phone has a physical keyboard. 3 and 1/2 stars. Check it out. It's kinda cool.

Maybe ... just maybe ... some people like the look of the iphone but the availability of android (att doesn't have the best high speed coverage). I just can't understand how upset people get over someone elses phone. If you don't like it - move on. One last comment - there just might be a reason why the iphone is STILL the highest rated smartphone and considered the one everyone else is shooting for.

Mobile phobia ( need Help )

This is an expensive phobia...
So even if you've got a case or screen protector on there?
You're using one of the most technologically advanced device ever created in the 200,000 years of human existence. And you're bothered by a scratch or a dot?

Look at yourself in the mirror. See the imperfections? You live with them so do the same with your G2X.
If money is not a problem for you, then enjoy the phobia. I am the same way when comes to car. So I feel your pain man.

I wouldn't say phobia... this is more along the lines of OCD.
You'd just have to force yourself to deal with minor imperfections. No one can help, it's all up to you to force yourself to ignore the faults and try to force rational thinking as to why you want to keep the phone...

alrighty got it its installed on the device im going to use for gps tracking.
Found a chest to use for it already cut down the lip of the chest so it can be sealed airtight. Cut 2 holes in it and wired and threaded the harness Added the weights to stabilize the payload. Its a very simple build tbh. Payload is going to be about 5.5 pounds
Also adding a Casio Camera to this that records in HD format so i can get some other angles.
and as far as helping goes. If we can accurttly project enough where it should land if theres anyone else that lives in california that would love to come help even if its for recovering it when done that wold be great .
looking at seeing if this will work and not interfear with the recording

I understand, however I always put my reviews for the community and if the mods decide to merge or close the thread there is not a problem. When a thread so big as the original one happens..then it gets clogged and some valuable info like a hands on demonstration gets lots easly.
