A hair dryer, a dremel and an hour, and some kydex - HTC Sensation

Of your time, Oh, and some kydex...
Made up this joby gorilla mount.
The locking piece for this joby was attached to my last camera when it got stolen, and it's been sitting around ever since...UNTIL NOW, DA DA DA
The phone is inside a case mate for now, and the friction locking mount is designed to fit over this, better fit.
It doesn't quite work as a landscape stand though, unless I take the case mate off. Oh well, next time make the prong a little longer...
Okay okay, here are some pics...

Here is one more showing it's just as capable in landscape mode too.
What do you think?

I think its great! how tightly is it in there? Will it withstand some shake?
Good work mate

It holds up very well actually, I thought I would have to drill out a notch to lock it but didn't need to so I'm happy with it.

Sylicon Case??

Will Sylicon case make scratches on my xda II? specially the black sylicon case? i am just wondering if the color black will of the case will stick to xda II? and wodering cuz the sylicon case is just like a rubber and can make a scratches on it? anyone tried?
if you mean this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=20484
then no it dont rub off on the xda2 leaving discolouring
and scratches ?
i really fail to see how something as soft as silicon or rubber for that matter should be able to scratch something as hard as the xda2
This is mine:

It looks same with member "flywhc" (here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=20484) but mine is capdase and to him is pdaden i think. will this be ok?
yeah i think it's the same one as i got
i had no problems with mine
apart from the fact that if you take your xda2 out of it too often
to sync i think it'll beging to break in the silicone
not a problem for me since i sync using bluetooth

How about heat? Can silicone absorb the heat? My XDA II gets hot whenever I use a wall charger compared to cradle or usb wire.
never had head issues dont really use it much anymore as being taken out to fit in the cradle kinda killed it in the long run
but my pda dont get hot when i charge it

What you guys think of this Case?

For the past few days ive been trying to find a good case that doenst.. destroy the htc sensation.

SIGH! i cant wait till SGP or Realook make some good (dry) application screen protectors for this phone.
I have the "clear" version on the way now. I will post more about it when it arrives.

I ordered it Thursday or Friday and got it today. The fit is perfect. The buttons are cut out in such a way that they stick through the case (rather than being covered) and I like that. It makes them easy to press but harder to press by accident than the rubber cases that cover the buttons.
If I have one complaint it is that the one in the picture looked more clear. This one has clear spots but the pattern is opaque and not very subtle. I was hoping for less of a pattern and more of the phone's natural beauty to show through.
All total I am satisfied. I ordered a black case (the one with the swirl on the back) the same day so I will see which one I like more when it gets here. I suspect I will like the look of the black one better so I hope the fit is as good as this one.
i have one of these on my xoom. Quality is superb
I just got the black one and I like the way it makes the phone feel
feels a lot better then the tmobile one and I like that the holes are cut out were there suppose to be

[REVIEW] Touchpad Casecrown

So I said i would review this case once I got it so here it goes.
So i just received my Casecrown case for my TP. On first impression it seems nice made sturdy. The "top" is nice and soft where as the "bottom" is sturdy and firm.
The zipper does not go all the way around

I guess that's a good thing so the TP does not fall out?
The inside is nice and soft and I cant see anything scratching the TP.
The first thing I did not like was that the inside pocket does not have a zipper or something to close it. I can see something slipping out and scratching the TP if there was to much moment.
The next thing is the TP does not fit "like a glove". There is some extra room and i have tried it out.. the TP slides a little. Not as much as I thought it would from looking at it but it does slid.
Now for one of the mail reason I bought it, the built in tilt. It actually works good not great.. but good! It holds the TP at a good angle for typing. I opened up memos and tried it our for about 5 paragraphs and the material holds the TP in place and the angle is nice. Now i would like it a little high to be perfect but its really not that bad.
The picture does not really do it justice... but trust me.. you can type on it with no real problem. and it wayyyyy better then laying it flat.
So all in all this is a OK case. I rate
quality = 5 of 10
look = 6 of 10
fell = 6 of 10
protection = 4 of 10
I really only like it because of the slant built in. But I think once I get some like this http://www.stealtharmor.com/store/touchpad-black-leather.html on my TP this case will be perfect for just carrying it around.

My white LG thrill

Pretty snazzy eh.
Tutorial :
TAKE YOIR TIME!
HAVE A GOOD SLOT OF TIME TO DO ALL THIS LIKE 5 HRS!!
For best results disassemble the phone to strip it as best you can. There are plenty of tutorials for that on YouTube.
Sand it Down. The purpose is to have a surface the paint can stick to. I used 200 grit.
Tape up the phone all the parts you don't want to get pain.
For the screen you don't have to worry too much the paint scraped off easy with a plastic hard edge...
I used a quick dry spray paint.
Grey primer first two coats of white and one coat of clear.
Let it dry for at least 30 min. Between coats. Don't do the coats too heavy..
Now the phone may possibly have a sort of sticky feel when you hold it. But that's okay if you followed my steps it should never come off on your hands or loose its shine.
If you ever get a bad dent or screw it up or you just dont like the look...
There is no harm in doing it all over. Best to redo the entire process. Including resanding it back down to the primer should do.
TAKE YOUR TIME!!
actually looks pretty darn good, now i want to do something like this lol
I actually just dropped it and the back of it dented the paint a bit. Oops
Edit: NM its good
And so I have spoken it.. and so it shall be.
Wow,this looks awesome. What paint did you use? Give us a little tutorial. :-D Good work btw... ;-)

Custom Nexus 9 Case

For those who are still waiting for a better case to come to the market like me, but cannot use it without a case, you can try cutting out the Nexus 9 Box for a temporary case.
Just did mine, and it looks great with the HUGE 9 in front plus bubble wrap protection in between, and a kickstand.

LOL. Ghettofabulous!
That's a sweet case you got there
Nice! LOL. I like the music too!
I'm using an old car handbook cover which fits perfectly. For once in my life I have successfully transitioned something I should have thrown away to something useful. My life is complete.
Nice use of rubber bands. Im using one on an ipad air case i found at sears on clearance.
