HI there ....!!
i Saw a lot of cases for our phone online but none are appealing ......can someone gimme a site to create a custom cover ?? Thnkz in Advance
there is wrappz,in and uniqueskins.. but they have mini/ace but not fit.. try to find a device of similar shape for fit
best way- buy a simple cover, use stickers+pics+paint and ur creative mind; or ask one of your artistic friend to design one for you and then get it laminated!
Unique Skin is kinda nice, but my phone isnt there...SO it sucks! :\
You can laminate your phone with phone ..

Hey guys. I just got this second hand O2 XDA Mini a few weeks ago and I was challenged to bring it back to it's former glory. It as pretty run down but still in good working order so I decided to do a complete make over.
First, I went about flashing the ROM to the Latest Big Storage ROM which really helped me cram all my necessary apps. Second, I started looking for a replacement fascia/housing to give the Mini a fresh new look. I decided not to go with the Original fascia/housing because it was too expensive. Instead, I got this OEM (non-original) replacement fascia which came in a variety of colors. For my Mini, I decided to go with black. The keypad itself was black which made it unique.
I then went about the challenging and harrowing task of disassembly. After a couple of hours and many sweaty hand wipes later, I managed to put the new fascia together with nary a problem. I put my "new" Mini in a crystal case in order to protect it from scratches and voila... My own O2 XDA Mini Black Edition! Even blacker than the oiginal Black Edition.
Check out the pics...
Do tell about your own expereinces (and pictures) of your forays into customization.
HEY KABAYAN!!! that's awesome!, where did you bought the housing? at bidshot or in greenhills?, i've saw one in BIDSHOT and he's seeling it for 1k,how much did you bought yours?, i want to change my casing too,so that i can keep the original black housing.m using a hardcase and it's to bulky to use(MAS MAGANDA KCNG GMITIN AND MINI PAG WLANG CASE).
Hope to hear from you soooonnn!!!!
Looking great bro..how much did the Housing cost ya??
All in all a great job-10/10
I got it in Greenhills for about 800 but I'm sure you could get it for 700 if you look hard enough. I've decided to put a membrane at the d-pad opening to protect the d-pad since i know this will fade from constant contact with my thumb. It's a really good idea if you want to do what I did. Now my Mini is completely made over and protected.
I'm glad you guys liked the job. I'm really happy wih it too.
ooo...hello KABAYAN!! ahah, i remember those places...ahh home...
i so envy you at the moment. I want that clear case and that cover!
the clear case i got is different and scratches my fone.
ima gonna ask my cuzes over there to get me one...
CAn i ask something? what material is the non original case made out of?
is it the same as the original one? which is some sort of metal... i love that metal feel on my magician...
whitemoo..
You know, the feel of the housings are actually quite similar to the original. The fit is also plush.
well...thanks for that, i decided to order the silver original and the gray casings, costing me over $100 aud, argh overpriced shipping...
also picked up the same clear case that only half opens...
cant wait till they get here!.
Thanks for the info,
Whitemoo
did the same thing for my 2nd hand mini.
If there is a crystal clear housing, that would be very cool. It would look like a swatch watch
xda mini housing
who are bigshot and greenhills?? are they in us or worldwide? do they ship to the uk/ also l have a tmobile uk compact/ magicianand the screen broke after i dropped it. i got ot repaired using a blocked compact2/charmer. ever since the send, end, calender, contacts and centre buttons dont work. the send button ends the call and the others do nothing at all. could anyone help?
you can buy em off ebay. I ordered mine the other day. Comes to about 30 quid including postage for the keypad and the case.
I think these are going to be genuine ones left over from when they were making the xda mini so are probably genuine. Will be comparing my old facia with the new one carefully when they arrive and will report back wheather i think they are copys or not
I was once in Greenhills (Vira Mall). It is a shopping mall in the Philippines and there's an area with retail stores (mostly run by Chinese) dedicated for all type of phones. They do repairs, unlocking, conversions, and sell all sorts of accesories. Prices are quite cheap (in comparison to US and European prices) but most accessories are coming from China and are of very poor quality according to our standards. I didn't buy anything because of the quality of products. I've never been to BigShot but I guess it's something similar.
I'm wondering if you can show a fellow pinoy how to disassemble my mini. And while were on the subject, do you know where or how I can replace or improve the speaker on my phone. My phone sounds distorted when it's turned up. salamat pare ko!
I'm not a Filipino. but I was there many times for business trips and in one of those trips I was in Greenhills.
I already dismantled my unit once. What I'll do is take pics while dismantling it when my facia arrives, hopefully in a week. It's hard to explain by words only. So, stay tuned.

@rdgzmn4xdadevelopers: I found this one some time ago on the forum. Can't remember the post, but I'm sure you like it BTW how did you come up with your nickname?
Cheers, M
EDIT Replaced the file with the uncorrupted rar
Thanks OLTP but it seems that the ZIP file is corrupted.
you're right & on my device too I'm searching for the post now.
Excuse me for the inconvenience, M
No problem. I just got a notice from the post office, hopefully it's the fascia I ordered.
Well I found it back, of course http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39489&highlight=magician+apart
& that thread links to another useful one.
Succes in the refurbishmentbusiness, M
Your da man :lol:
I'm just getting it very hot with these compliments.
It's just that I can't take it when I can't find something back.
Hello. I want to design my own back cover case for my i9000 and i have spoken to a company who can help me build one from start with my own material but they need a drawing of the Battery cover with measurements and 3d pictures so the computer can scan it into the machine. Someone know where can i found one?
There must be some sketch out there, when there are many different custom shell on the web.
I have email Samsung support but they didnt sound so happy so I do not expect to get an answer from them.
Anyone know where to find a drawing? thx ..
May be this website comes handy.. http://www.the3dstudio.com/product_details.aspx?id_product=355348
I'm also interested in this so if this works out can you let me know if i can get one too?
I can't find a good replacement beside official Samsung which cost way too much for a piece of plastic
Maybe you can make a mold of your batterycover and give it to them?
site: mold-making . com
custom battery cover
im also very interested in this, what kind of company would do this sort of stuff? and where would i find someone who can do it?
im also very interested in this,hope to hear more about it
any updates?

A lot of customers are not satisfied with it. Mobile falls. It doesn't work very well. :crying:
There is a ton of generic ones on ebay that have spring clamps to hold it in tightly and adjust to any phone, gps, etc. I've got like 5 of them from buying "bundle packs" for my various phones over the years.
I've looked them but I'm looking for one who doesn't exceed of the screen.
The problem of the GripNgo is the lost of grip.
The design is nice for me.

Hello.
I wanted to change my phone lately , so at first I looked at the phone I loved last year , htc10 (because of the clean android , no bloatware and the all around decent-ness) , until I noticed Id have a hard time finding screen protectors , cases , etc for the phone in my country , and it doesnt have warranty in my country and finding a repairman is hard if needed. so buying the htc 10 would be risky in the long run (and short run if I drop it or something)
then I saw the s7 edge on sale for a reasonable price (around $100 more expensive than the htc 10) so I considered that as well , but thats where I have my biggest question.
I have seen glass screen protectors for s7edge but all the comments said that it affected the touchscreen making it less sensitive to touch and all that . are the glass screen protectors for s7edge really that bad or are they the same as other phones' ?
(and by the way , weird as it may sound , s7edge is cheaper than normal s7 in my country , so I wouldnt want s7 , and I dont like touchwiz , so not a fan of samsung , but the s7edge price is nice when compared to my other choices)
then I saw the LG g6 , which I really like , but the software doesnt look good either (i've heard its similar to touchwiz about bloatware , and I dont like how it looks) and the previous flagships have had issues such as bootloops and broken camera lenses , which makes me worry about buying it.
i was also wondering if LG had any form of themes app similar to htc/samsung which could change the entire look of the phone ?
any recommendations which one to buy?
thanks in advance
