Just My 2 Cents But Ive Been Lookin Around The HOS Forums And I See Alot Of Ppl Complaining About "Micro Arc Oxidation Failure" But Then How Come It Was Never A Problem When It Happened With the Htc Sensation...HOw Come They Were Man Enough About The Situation And Went Ahead And Modified The Device And Made It Look 10X's Better... Cant We Do The Same Im Sure Someone Has Asked Themselves The Same Question....

I'm way to lazy to try. It took hours and hours on the sensation just for that metal strip.

Yes, the Sensation frame is made of aluminum, I owned a Sensation for a lot of time and I loved it. Even now that I own a One S when I hold my ex sensation (Now belongs to my girlfriend) my head explodes with nostalgia

I will try and find a picture. I recently sold the phone. I did the front bezel and the battery door. The battery door basically turned out like a mirror.
After awhile needed to hit it with the mag wheel polish to keep its shine.

I did the battery door on ny one s with my nail too. Once I finished I just shined it and like someone said it came out like a mirror. I would never do something like that to the one s tho. The body on this phone is nearly ceramic. It looks good. I wouldn't change a thing.

Hello guys,
Since i'm kinda into customizing my electronics and the fact that I just bought a HTC Sensation i thought let's post this here and perhaps you guys can help me with this.
I would love to laser engrave my sensations back cover but i have no creativity and once it's done it can't be undone. Can you guys help me out with some nice and creative ideas on what i might be able to do to it?
Since I have a laser engraver / cutter I do not require any tips about where to go etc. to have it done.
Also if you have any ideas for your own device i'd more then happy to talk to you about customizing your device
Thanks!

Oh no doubt that I'll be doing that. Then again screwing up the back up cover with a not so awesome design would still kinda suck ^^
So i'm still open to suggestions, perhaps there are some really awesome graphics designers here.

Could you explain how you did it? Did you have to take that part out of the back cover? What did you use to "chrome" it?

Yes, I already read that on his blog few weeks ago. The only thing I need now is a spare battery cover because I'll probably screw up (when taking the plastic off, brushing isn't a problem) I'll try to get one but it looks like HTC wants you to send your old one back (I have some issues with this one, I'm not trying to get it only to have a spare)

you don't need to take the cover apart. all you need is masking tape and paint thinner/remover. mask the cover well as if you were about to paint a car. be careful and meticulous with the taping. then apply the paint thinner/remover and remove the paint accordingly. remember, any of these things takes PATIENCE to get a good effect.
honestly i highly recommend you take it apart for the reason u want to get all nooks and crannies. all u need is some good glue to put them back together

Yes, I know I can get a replacement back. I'm the one who let people know about that. (something i regret not putting in a PM) It just sucks though. I don't want to have to get a new back until way later in the 1 year life of this phone.
wtf, i just laugh when i read the tittle didnt think it was real i thought those letters was metal engrave
If you didn't lose the C you could just superglue it back on

LOL. One of the funniest thing i've heard for a while.
I had this happen too. Only, I've slowly lost each letter down to where I have lost them all. I'm going to fill it in with some paint I think, then do the chrome mod. When I sand down the back I think the paint should stay in the indented part.
The 'T' fell off in my case :O
Just take a pencil and fill up the indented part. Looks fine.
I lost "h" long time ago, I thing that this is problem with bad glue and high temperature.
The XE must be different? I have the XE and there aren't any letter stickers, the lettering is recessed.
Yeah this won't happen on the XE.
This happened to my Sensation but with the 'T' I actually emailed HTC about this along side sending a photo to them and within three days they had sent me a new unibody May I suggest you do the same.
Wow I heard about debranding..but.....

Don't most people use cases so you never see the back cover? Good price if you need a cover though.

I am not flaming you, it is a nice back door. Just had to point it out though. Also, I am trying to make an SGS4G / vibrant compatible solar charger sleeve! Yes.
If reffering to a woman the word attractive is synonymous with sexy. It is an adjective that i chose to use because i thought it sounded less bland than to say "more attractive battery cover". And I dont feel the word is overused, cant have too much sexy lol

I've found a few cases that replaced the need for me to go out there and buy a battery cover
Even though I picked up the Otterbox case, I still grabbed this, its only $6 bucks. A small price to pay for a "sexier" battery cover!
Good find!

I owned one and sold many. It was sturdy, but the way it locked onto the phone kind of sucked. It could pop right off and it was the sliding mechanism of the phone that made it a 2 piece. There's solid no keyboard phones have a advantage with sturdier cases.
I wouldn't even bother...the case is such crap...the prongs on the upper case, pulled two of my keys clean off my keyboard...which was a common issue that I didn't hear about until "after" it was purchased. The only way to prevent this was to file the prongs off, which in turn made the upper case unsecure...such a tool of a case
