How do you like the bumper?
theres an accessories forum where they belong.
Man I really wish i had access to try out a bumper - i think it will solve my creaking N4 - which now seems to be caused by the "loose" rubber/plastic trim around the phone (and it flexing between the glass layers).

Thanks for the pics!
It's a bit more elaborate than I thought it would be, the "metal" trim is a nice touch.
Combined with front and back screen protectors, this could be my ideal solution.

...and they're in stock at the Play Store, amazingly! Just ordered one.
can u try dropping it on some different locations and see how it fairs?
3ft naked on cement it faired well. So in theory it should be better with a bumper.
could u try a kitchen floor and then maybe from a roof top? thanks

E.P.I.C.
I hope when you do drop your phone, it explodes for creating a new thread when there is already a decent bumper thread..

A new thread was not needed
Please use the existing bumper thread.

I appreciate the photos but I think thy aren't took in good conditions and positions.
The first picture would be nice from top view, too.
The second one isn't sarp enough and the angle isn't very good, please take one fom the side and from top and roof when you attached the bumper to the phone.
The third picture is way too bright...
But thanks for the first impressions. I would be relly pleased if you could do that

Looks good, care to post a link to where you bought it?
Problem with these is that the top and bottom are not fully covered so can't see the case protecting those parts very well.

This is the one I bought, really good case for the price. Rubber back and protects all sides, just a bit of a shame with the 2 materials being different [back and sides].

I've already got one which is the same material all they way around:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLACK-Epik-Ca...vo-/300423044647?pt=UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL
I wanted something that was specifically thin and didn't conceal the shape and colour of the Desire.
It's the same design as Capdase's Soft Jacket 2 Xpose Tinted
I would say it's a well designed case and fits nicely in the phone without any free play

No thats a different case. That material is on the edge of the phone case that I have so it is flexible, but the main part is a plastic material so it is solid but a rubber coating so it feels like the back of the Desire rather than being smooth. Can take a picture for you tonight if you want.
someone painted his/her one s with a marker yet?
and whats the outcome does it look good or is it noticeable that it's painted?

Marker leave a slight discolouration as the ink a little shinier than the dull finish of the phone, but it isn't really noticeable unless you see it in bright light. But the problem is, markers wear off really quickly. Even an industrial strength oil and waterproof ink I tried.
I've tried satin black car scratch repair ink, looks better than the ink if applied nicely, but, it also wears off.
Yeah, I tried marker too, looked ok for a day or so, but it wore off again pretty quickly.
I wonder how easy it would be to take off ALL the MAO coating and have an awesome silver phone

Any better ideas?
The idea has been mentioned somewhere, guess the general forum. Apparently this has been done on the Sensation, looks really nice imho
Pull off the frame and sandpaper it, teardown instructions: http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?deskto...=&feature=player_embedded&v=b0jGY2N2h1U&gl=SE please do it now and post results!
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
It has been done on the HD2 battery cover as well, carefully sanded and polished to a near mirror finish. I suspect that was steel though, isn't the One S aluminum?
I was 90% joking; the One S is aluminium which will just rust to a dull grey colour, right? Plus, easy as it seems to get small but noticeable chips in the MAO covering, I think getting the lot off would require some serious effort. Maybe 6 months down the line when my phone really looks like cr*p, but right now it is still doable with the occasional application of black marker!
Yup its aluminium, will look a bit Mad Max I guess especially if not done with a lot of effort
Was looking for a way to protect the Extended Battery door from scratches. A case wasnt possible, so decided on a vinyl for skin.
Couldnt get my hands on a 3M Di-Noc Carbon fiber vinyl, managed to get some cheap CF vinyl from a local car mod shop, something to experiment with before i find that 3M vinyl.
First Attempt: shabby, had a problem pulling the damn thing around those curves and the not so sharp blade didnt help either

Second Attempt: much better, still the blade didnt help
the cheap glue keeps coming off from the curvy corners. cant wait to get my hands on some 3M Carbon Fiber.
Try blow drying the corners to stay in place. But not too long don't want to melt the phone.

This is something that I have thought to give a try, good that someone did try!
I was thinking like wrapping my bike with 3D Vinyl and called a vendor who quoted like 1000Rs for 7sft (with shipping), is it a reasonable price bro, where did you get the vinyl from?

I got this one for Rs80, that's for 1sq.ft. But its unbranded i guess. i actually have no idea about vinyls. Just got lucky to get my hands on some at this store. Though i am planning to buy 3M Di-Noc CF vinyl which seems like the good quality one. I did see 3D vinyl on ebay but dunno how good is it. Better if you check it out before placing the order.
3M has the best sticking material out there and its pretty expensive, Rs950 for 2sq.ft

So I decided that I got tired of Samsung's infamous glossy polycarbonate fingerprint-magnet casing and decided to do something about it. I think you'll find the results below are quite stunning if I do say so myself.

Neither, if you click the main link you'll notice this is actually a vinyl wrap that applies onto the device, effectively adding almost not thickness.
A vinyl wrap? I feel like that will eventually peel or catch on the edges with long term use... in and out of the pocket and eventually start peeling

Depends how you use it. The glue on it is really thick and tough so it does not peel easy. Also they recommend to use a heat gun once you're 100% sure you want to set it the way it is so the glue melts and bonds to the plastic (doesn't actually bond but sure feels like it afterwards).
I bought this instead, well see how it is

Hi All,
I ordered the Nexus 6P in aluminium and it really reminds of Bender from Futurama. How cool would it be if we could have a skin for our phones that looked like him. Are there any graphic designers who could design something like this then maybe slick wraps can make them.
I have no design experience but I know slick wraps do custom skins so long as you have the design.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
i mean, i suppose you could but the closest you'd come is a sticker of his mouth. even then, it would be difficult to tell...

Bender is not Bender without his antenna. there was a whole episode dedicated to the antenna representing his "manhood".
Even if you could, I'm thinking it would be difficult to do something that wouldn't interfere with camera, flash, or IR Focus.

That looks nice! I haven't watched futurama in years but it brings back memories
Have one of the case manufacturers make a bumper case with Bender's antenna on the top. Good luck shoving the phone in your pocket with the antenna case.

I'm a big fan of futurama, immediately noticed how aluminum looked like bender!
But went with black so the bar would blend in more.
Would love to see this though, even if I don't have one!
