Pimp my Desire S
I saw the boring colours of my ds for too long so I decided to bodymod it
BEFORE
AFTER
And a comparisation:
Moar pics:
(yep. swag is on with this one!)
HOW?!
First off, here's the imgbox gallery with all the pics in it: http://imgbox.com/g/yg5CGqBZmq
I started sanding my ds but was quite lazy to finish it. I fully sanded the paint off with grit 400, and then gave it to my dad who sandblasted the phone at his work.
The inspiration came from this dhd thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1293207, my original plan was to sand it with 400 - 800 - 1200 and then polish it so that it would get a shine. But in the end, i'm pretty happy with this result as well
What you could do as well is varnish the whole thing to make it more scratch-proof but I haven't tested that
For painting the grilles ect you could just sand 'em up with grit 400 and then use some car paint which holds the best. :good: It looks so awesome on the camera lens
Tell me what you think, and I hope that I inspired you guys for some bodymodding
derp
I have to admit, I'm really impressed. Nice job.

Looks really great. Bringing whole new life to old gray ds
Very well done. It looks very professional.
Nice! I'm thinking for painting my phone white and then use black or red to paint the rockers etc. I think the phone would look nice cause it has several black parts(battery cover+camera cover and around the screen)

When properly sanded and cleaned the painting should do pretty well Curious how it would look. be sure to post it!
Though you need some paint that won't come off easily and let it dry properly, the paint i used earlier for my front grille didnt work out so well, but it does for my camera lens and other grille. so my tip is to buy a small can of car paint which you normally use to fix small scratches ect. holds better on slipperier surfaces
This look sweet! I bet it's bumped up the resale value quite a bit as well
Nice! Job!

Agreed! I painted my mountainbike(downhill bike) suspension fork which is made from aluminium few months back with spray paint and used primary paint, too and it went well and paint have not cracked or anything(even when small rocks etc. hits it). Lets hope that when I have the time it will work on the phone also

Just wondering, did you sand the desire s with or without taking it apart? As in, like unscrew everything, that kind of taking it apart.

Of course not, the screen likes sandpaper. It likes a 3 ton truck also.

I think he unscrewed the parts from the case, it's the only way you can take the case apart... Just sanding it without unscrewing the case would result into destroying your device.

Just stopped by to say it looks awesome I would do it to my Incredible S but I don't think the plastic backing of my phone will like it The IncS has a full plastic back, only a metal front.
What colour is it actually? It looks white from some pics and silver from others lol

Today I learned that the MT4G can't take a 2.5 foot fall onto the floor of a bus. I didn't buy it though T-Mobile, and I have no insurance or anything. What should I do here?

It looks like the LCD might be okay, so it may just be the digitizer that's damaged. Those are fairly inexpensive to buy but I've heard they're not very fun to replace if you're inexperienced. Try seeing if there are any repair shops around that will fix it if you provide the digitizer.
what happened to it? it looks fine to me
p.s. digitizer and LCD need to be replace Digitizer is usually 60 dorra(attempt at Chinese accent)
It literally fell 2.5 feet out of my hand onto the floor of the bus while I was getting on. I'm going to try and scrap it on eBay to offset another one.
Get insurance on it with tmo over the phone, wait a few days and file a claim. Or just order the parts and watch the youtube video for it. It really isn't that hard to replace. Just take your time when you do it.

This phone can take drops but not flat on its face. If it landed fat its going to crack samething happen to me. I have insurance though its going to cost 130 dollars.

That sucks man... I use a T-mobile 2 part case that's rubber with a hard plastic shell
It's taken its share of falls from my lap getting out of the car (nasty habit that I will eventually kick). The plastic is actually broken off on 2 corners. Only thing that is wrong with it is some damage to the bezel since that part is only covered by rubber. It has seriously paid off dividends though. I'm sure my phone would be mad ugly if I never got the case.
Guess its random... I just dropped my phone like three feet to concrete... no damage thank god! Anyways you can try calling customer care and complaining about the lack of durability... I know gridlock dropped his phone and it broke and he called and complained and got a new one free of charge... you should pm him and ask him what exactly he said ....

...and the tales of survival commence.
A week or so after getting the phone, mine fell 4-5 feet into concrete stairs. It hit on a corner, had a tiny mark because of it. The phone worked fine otherwise.
But...a month or two after that fall I was able to replace the phone because mine had the "bad" screen.

Wow...perfect! I have a TPU case from Amazon and I love it, but this case looks to be way better cause it shows the back of the phone! Thanks!!!!
That's a neat case! I've never seen one like that before. So I was reading from the link... The back is hard plastic right? Wouldn't that eventually show marks on the back, or no? Since you've owned this case before, were there any signs of rubbing from the case or did it ever leave marks?

Nope... I have had the case on the Vibrant for months and it hasn't damaged the phone. My wife is still using it and the case still looks great. Here is the huge thread on the Vibrant forums titled "Officially the best case in the WORLD". Hyperbole aside, it is a good case.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=772826
I can't speak to this one (yet) but the one for the Vibrant fits great and held up well without messing up the phone.
That looks good & shows off the Sensation well!

I checked out eBay but they haven't made it there in mass just yet. There is at least one seller that has them but it works out to about the same price as the original link in this thread when you add shipping.

The back plastic is hard (not foldable).
I ended up just getting the one from tpu-cases . The reviews are great and its just under nine bucks shipped.
The ones in the op have the case covering the power button and I just rather it be open. If they were I'd probably get them since I know someone who has one and she's more then happy with it.

Bought a black speck case off of amazon after seeing one in the TMO store. Loved the feel and weight of the case. Got the case and slipped it on my phone. Didn't even make it a day without looking like it had been hit with a cheese grinder.
So i tried to think of a way to get rid of the scratches. Car scratch remover was a fail and i got so pissed i threw it in my father in laws sand blaster. To my surprise it turned out great. removed the black paint and used armor all wipes and spray then let it dry in the sun.

bought the same case in orange... looks really sweet with the grey hox. definitely a different look, which i like a lot. as for the protection aspect... doubt it's going to help much in that category, but dont drop my phone - i'm just used to having a case on it. so for me, this satisfies the need for a case, and the desire to make it look cooler.

My concern is along those lines in that over time, it's possible that the exposed areas could discolor (on white phones). I love the look though.
Could you post a pic of your gray phone with orange case? I'm considering this as well. What is the case made out of, just hard plastic? Does it add any grip at all?

I have the blue case. It's made of hard plastic, has a matte finish, and is slick. Doesn't add any grip at all to the phone. The upside is, it doesn't add any bulk and does add some protection. I really like mine.

Just picked up a One X from a guy on CL and went to the ATT store to get a micro sim card. They only had otterbox, an ugly black and white case, and the blue and orange htc cases.
I went with the blue. Wish I would've gotten the orange for some reason.
I only spent $15 for it and even then that is pretty steep for what it is.
Very fragile case everyone. Already cracked on its own. Returning today.

These don't cover the curved right? And are they meant to be wet applied?

I ordered these after the XtremeGuard let me down with how rubbery they turned out. Gof 3 for $3 on amazon with free shipping.
I would also like to know if these are cut to the flat part of the screen only?

if you see how perfect my screen protector is now...you wouldnt say that...its always a dumb ass close by...but have a good day my friend...
Few more screen shots...fully dry...
I ordered these and the spigen from amazon. These look similar to the stock protector so I'll probably try a little bit of water.

You put water on both the screen and then protector, or just the protector?

use a spray bottle and spray just a lil mist on protector....that enable you to slide it a lil bit when you apply...and make sure you a squeegee and a micro fiber towel or a good paper towel....

wha.. was that for? we were tryna guess what you meant earlier in the thread..we were confused when you said you wet-applied the protectors when the earlier pics showed a dry-application type. my first impression was that you're using a wet-application type, but with a cut-out of a dry-application type (i.e protector does not cover the curved sides).
and then you posted that unused dry-application protector pic...and everything is answered. I dun get why you get all fussed up?
was it because of the "whacky" comment? look it up in a dictionary...if you really did misunderstood the meaning
