Like the title says, get a free phone skin from Marlboro and skinit.com.
1. Scan qr code in picture below
2. Set up account
3. Create a brand
4. Get it shipped
Says it could 8-10 weeks for delivery, but I just ordered mine on 23OCT and received it in the mail 01NOV. Limited to folks 21 and older and they do ask for SS# for age and identification verification so there is that catch. Other than that, no strings attached. Figure if you're a nonsmoker you can just make up some stuff when you create the account for brand preference and such. I also included pics of mine. If you decide to get one come back and post pics.
It does limit you to 2 characters on the brand and as hindsight is always 20/20, I realized I could've done my favorite college or university as opposed to the initials of my name.

As I lurk more often than not, I'm crossing my fingers that I posted the pics correctly.

Pics are pretty small, and appear to be screen shots of pictures, but they worked. From looks pretty cool, but they ask for way too much info to feel comfortable IMO. Cool find though.
i already am on the marlboro mailing lists and get several freebies a year, so theyve already gotten my info. that being said, i ordered this a few weeks ago also. im not one for phone skins so i had it made to fit an iphone 3gs for my dad. quality is soso. just a typical skinit skin. not bad for free.
Not many skins to choose from, but hell its free, I got the one that looked like chrome for the toolboxes on the back of truck... the brand thing is pretty cool too, makes it unique. 15 bucks saved.
How strange
Thanks for the post, I don't see why you need to be 21+ when you're legally allowed to smoke at 18. Lol. I'm not the one giving away free skins, so i guess it's on them.
Give them social security for a free identify theft for them and get a free skin? HMMM....

Decided to take a crack (lol pun intended ) at a couple of things the other night, and stumbled across something interesting - HTC's internal bidding system.
And what I've found are parts that they are buying for whatever models of phones they're working on/thinking about working on. I saw parts for an HTC Touch Pro from 2005, parts from the HTC Magic from 2006, etc.. Well, I found parts, as of the other day, for the 'HTC Incredible', so, they must be working on it.
Also, I found reference to xda-developers.com inside of an actual bidding-slip for reference to the models that they had listed - I thought that was pretty damn cool.
I've highlighted different model names and such, and the reasoning I pointed out the Bahamas and the Memphis are so you can see that the models are not always only listed on the right-side of the screen, too.
Here are some screenshots for you all:

Wow, nice one! This could be really useful for us here at XDA.
You "found"? How about you share the account?

Found...well I didn't want to come right out and say that I brute forced it once I found a valid login.
How about I share the account?
How about you share me an rma account with cdma access and I will

Just wanted to bring this thread back up, because now the HTC Incredible is official, and is being released on Verizon.
I wonder what phones I could find info. on if I were to look now?
Just found some more models to wonder about.

hahaha! Sorry to be so crass but whatevs. This stuff is so perfect I had to post it plus I'm surprised we're JUST now seeing a print like this one. I actually think even the iClones will like to wear this print anyway since they're usually into whatever is trendy. This way, its completely outspoken and I never really have to say anything. I can be on a bus, in an elevator, at the grocery store...ummm, AT&T Store, anywhere! Its AWESOME!!!
So Merry Christmas to my XDA fam, ant-iPhonies, and iCloners alike!! This is legit. I know the guy and they're doing pre-orders now, so I know I'm getting one.
Anyway, I thought I'd put it out there for my XDA fam. I've been following for hella, but I rarely post, and keep a pretty low profile. Usually I figure things out my dang self but I'm always turning people onto the community. I mean how many times have you run into someone with some HTC phone and its still got the protective shipping plastic on the back about to fall off (like your grandmas' 40 year old plastic covered couch) and you can tell they haven't even begun to use it?! Yeah, I know...what a waste right. And thats why I am very grateful for this gash darn community.
Ya'll Rule, XDA!!!
HTC -4- LYFE biiiiiiaaaaaaaaaa...*cough**hack*...umm, well at least after this Samsung Captivate goes out of style THEN I'll be back to HTC...cool?!
ps...to be truthful, it doesn't have much to do with iPhones or Mac's to me. I'm sure they technically do their jobs well. However, its the "greater-than-thou" attitude that seems to inhabit people once they "wield" a APPLE device that enrages me. Some one gets an iPhone or a MAC and all of a sudden they apparently 1) know calculus, 2) speak 3 languages, 3) can locate Tanzania on a topographical globe, 4) and wear Birkenstocks?! EEF all that madness. Its more the big corporate One-Size-Fits all mentality that enrages me.
pps...any thoughts?
Very nice but off topic have to go
Hi
I don't know if this exists anywhere, but I liked the idea and wanted to share it with you.
It's no secret the iphone has many accessories (due to a very good, gotta admit, human engineering)
and android devices and our phone in particular (as well as its international brother - the i9000) have very little accessories,
though they have their respectable market share.
SGS 4G, being an obsolete, yet very fun phone to have, we might just need to pick up the glove and make the accessories the manufacturers fail to supply us.
I aim to making this thread an accessories user to public thread - whether it's a suggestion/idea
or a complete "how to" (including a list of items to buy, a scheme and instructions on how to build ).
To kick off :
An example - LEGO dock station
First idea - making your own flash LED addon (current project seems to fail).
See posts 1 & 5. I will try to make one myself and send complete instructions.
Second idea - making your horn speaker amplifier.
It exists only for iphone.
Thinking of making the mold of epoxy and then make it with white silicone (RTV).
Haven't started working on it yet.
Feel free to share your great ideas.
They made a bullet proof case for the iPhone 4/4S... Why do you need a bullet proof case for a phone? The front doesn't look protected too! The non-sense these people make.
Well that guy is insane, he also shot an unprotected SGS 3...
Back on topic, I see we barely have handymen here

I totally like the flash idea. I might have to try it

I just ordered :
* LED flash - Dealextreme 3.6$
* Back replacement - Dealextreme 3.9$
* 50 Mini Push Buttons Momentary Connectors, Switches - eBay - 3.5$
Once succeeding I will publish full schematics.
Yeah, as unbelievable as it sounds it's quite true. My friend saw a table in a skip outside a charity shop the other day that she thought she would take and restore. When she took it out she noticed something heavy wrapped in newspaper and several old Samsung (D400 type) mobile phones in the skip.
When she unwrapped an iPad she brought it to me to examine. It has a white front and a silver back with model: A1458 written on it. I couldn't turn it on as the battery is dead which is indicated by the battery symbol that appears on the LCD when the power button is pushed.
The charge / USB socket looks to be the new iPhone 5 socket for which I do not have a cable for at present so I was unable to tell what spec it was.
I tried to register it with Apple but when it asked for date of purchase (I made one up of about a week old) the website asked me to provide proof of purchase information and would not show me any details about it.
I found another site that claimed to I.D it by it's serial number and I took a picture of it (attached).
So tomorrow I will get a lead and see if any owner info is on it and if so contact them to find out what they did with it. However I have a feeling this is not going to be registered to anyone (if it powers up).
My friend just wants to sell it.
Can anyone give me some advice on the best course of action? I really don't want to just hand it in to the filth so some copper can give it to his brat in 6 months!
Cheers
Phill.

I highly doubt someone just discarded an iPad 4...do the right thing and take it to an Apple store and have them track down the rightful owner...if the owner can't be contacted or did, in fact, discard it...then have fun selling it or keeping it.

The HTC Dot View case looks like just another case, but it comes with a cool trick. The plastic backing offers some protection for the back and corners, but not enough to feel comfortable doing a drop test. The thing that really impresses me is the front cover that interacts with the screen. Unlike other cases with screen covers that interact with the display of the phone this case does not have a plastic window. Instead it has a hundreds of dots giving you a very 8-bit look.

The pictures above shows what my case displays when you tap on it twice.
Outside of the clock shown above the display also has a few other functionalities. Some of those include weather / temperature graphics, picture personalization, call and text message notifications. You are also able to pick up calls using a quick gesture. The ability to place calls can be done using HTC voice recognition software or by selecting one of your three previous calls.
Overall this case is a really great complement to this great device. Every time I pull it out of my pocket it still impresses everyone I show it to and still even me. Thanks for taking a moment to read my blog. If you have had a chance to check it out let me know what you thought of it or if you have any questions let me know.
