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?

Damn! that looks freakin' awesome! major props. Too bad htc didn't make an all white evo, that would make it all look even better.

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

wow, they both look really amazing but the white one is slightly better.

Thanks for the link man

Sprint should have left some unpainted and given options to purchase. That looks sweet.

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

Phone looks damn good, great craftsmanship!!!!!!

I just did mine and man it looks great. I did the blade first then did the wet sandpaper and it came out perfect.

I did mine a while ago. Added some paint, after sanding, and a skin to the battery cover. (took me forever, ocd an all)

Custom Skins, pics now up!

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

Here's a recent one I did

Thats my phone! Thanks again Mr Andrews!

wow these are awesome!

SGP Leather Case Valencia Swarovski ?

Premium case, but looks reallllllllllly good(atleast I think so)
Anyone have any first hand experience with this? I'm in the market for a premium case.
I'm not allowed to post any outside links due to my low post count but a simple google search will go a long way if you're interested in how this case looks.

OTTERBOX! Let us all let them know!

Ladies and gentlemen!
Otterbox for now is refusing to release a case for our phone.
Let us all let them know that there are a lot of us!
Here is their twitter account:
https://twitter.com/OtterBox

Who said Otterbox is refusing? I just got an email reply from them last night saying it's in design production.
We are currently working on a case for this device but do not have an ETA at this time. We recommend keeping an eye on our website or Facebook page where we will be sure to post more information as soon as it is available. You can also sign up for our email notification to be among the first to know when it becomes available.
Please feel free to reply to this email if you have any additional questions.

So sorry about that they were probably confused with the Nexus 7. We don't have any plans for the 4 but we will definitely keep you posted if anything comes up.

Not looking good...
But Seidio is making cases for the N4, which are similar to the Otterbox line. I will try those out as soon as they are released.

@op I deleted your thread in general.
Please do not create duplicate threads about the same thing.
Carry on

Seido cases are much better

Judging by the staggering idiocy of following Apples idea of putting glass on the back of the phone, I'd be more concerned about if/when Tech21 are bringing out a D30 case for the N4

Don't know why we have to convince a company to make money. Those geniuses should have had the business sense to know it would be a hit and have had cases out DAY ONE. They would have banked hard considering the complete lack of competition.

Testing out the new screen protector (It blows)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sb5Fc0ez-xU
My reviews Watch the end result...
Was cheap, and not so good..
Don't forget to thanks for the review

I made a lil review about how to apply and how the cheap ones look. Also it block the sensors.

I'll make a review of the atFolix ones that are arriving soon, those don't ''glitter'' .. i hope..

You applied it wrong.

Indeed, dry application means....dry application

BTW, I've tested the 3M screen protector, and it did not cover the whole front bezel... very disappointed.

I know I applied it wrong, I know it was meant to be dry application but I prefer to do it like this cause I can still move it.. I'm more used to it like this...
No need totcall me idiot or whatsoever..

To move a dry screen protector, apply it using two 'handles' made of tape. Lift it and move it to your heart's content. Or use the hinge method.
I'm not saying the protector you got is any good, we might never know. But your review is kind of pointless. It's like painting a car with a paint roller because you're used to painting ceilings, then saying the paint sucks because your car looks like **** now.

But it really doesn't point out why you shouldn't buy it. We don't even know that it's crappy since your conclusion is based on improper use.

'You're doing it wrong' isn't very harsh. OP doesn't help the situation when he says 'I know I'm doing it wrong, that's why this thing sucks.' Definitely the wrong foot all around.

It was not because I applied it wrong that it sucks right? What's the matter with me applying it in a other way? It didn't **** up the screen protector nor made it worse -.-
