Making a Vinyl "Sticker" for back

Opinions? The Android "guy" will be cut out so you'll see the "pretty" Nexus 4 back shining though. Be cutting one in a carbon fiber too. Hell...I have about 30 colors...may be kinda cool. Thoughts? Cost is very minimal to make them for myself so figure why not the small added protection for the back.

That is awesome.

That looks pretty awesome. I would love one in carbon fiber.

I'm very interested, if it hides the LG logo

I was thinking of covering the back fully..
This is what I done to my galaxy nexus http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599183

That is awesome. I need one in black...

I'd buy one I would attach it to my xtreme guard protector

Worked very well actually. The vinyl I use is high end...so I was able to easily take it off with out any residue being left on he phone. Ive changed it to 4 colors in the last two days just for heck of it.

If you start selling these, I'll definitely buy a couple. With a glass back, something like this would become substantial to a lot people.

I'd buy several colors no doubt about it, very cool.

I'm using a $4000 dollar vinyl cutting machine to make them. I have a side business doing professional banners, prints...etc etc. So I made my own template based off of a Hi-Res scan I made of the rear of the device. So my "stickers" are a perfect cut every single time.
Carbon Fiber one will go on tonight. I think this will really look nice. I will upload pics when I have them. Never thought about selling them. I could even personalize them...instead of the Android guy I could put your XDA user name, dogs name...wife's? :laugh:
But in all honesty, if you really are wanting these I would have no problem making them for you guys. I'm thinking maybe $4 including USPS shipping. Carbon would be a dollar more (material is really pricey).

That's a little out of my price range for a "DIYer." It looks like a really clean cut.
I'd love to buy one if they can be highly customized. Is there any disturbance on the camera zoom with that small camera cutout?

Buy a custom made back and let me know cost. Remember...didn't post to sell. Just had inquiries. So offered them up. I'm not gouging anyone by any means.

Depends on the curves of the device. N$ is simple..its flat. Plus id need a scan of the rear of the device to I can create the template.

Lg nexus 4 leather bumper

http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-NEXUS-4-...070751?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a7ca1a21f
any clue, anyone know anything about this?

Looks like it's just a skin. I doubt it would actually act as a bumper and protect your phone if dropped though.

This is the same guy who was earlier offering 5000 n4 like bumpers (which he'd be receiving soon) with a single one costing 50$. I guess he finally got it and it turned out not to be aluminum as he thought.
I strongly suspect he got it from china (alibai etc) where they were showing n4 aluminium bumpers for a few bucks for bulk orders, if I remember correctly.

I believe the question should be "How amazing COULD that be?" I've seen shoddy leather work and I've seen amazing leather work.
Ordered my Nexus 4 on the 13th. Still waiting.

Yes I would like to see implemented leather into a case/bumper like those stylish iPhone cases. Well if he does send you photos post them here.

These kind of skin is not going to stick well with the curved soft rubber edge of nexus 4.

Galaxy S4 Slim Armor View

What do you think of this new case for our S4?
pretty strange i think lol.
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-s4-cases/galaxy-s4-case-slim-armor-view.html

That is so cool! I love my slim armour.. is the price wasn't so steep I'd be seriously tempted.

Thats great I quite enjoy my original samsung sview cover only thing it lacked was protection this solves that, if I hadn't ordered the spigen clear cover case for my sview I would be all over this

Like space age pod for your phone

Damnit spigen stahp

i'm not that impressed, especially based on what they are charging and i own 3 spigen cases for my s4... then again, i'm also not happy with their marketing tactics when it comes to the neo hybrid frames.

This really resembles the UAG case I got from amazon for my s3. Was going to go with UAG again but this has a front cover too so may try this first.

Everyone is complaining about the frames on neo hybrid. I'm one of them. And they don't seem to care about. Unfortunately

Wow, that is an awesome case. Looks Spigen is going to be taking more of my money.

What complaints are there about the frames on the neo hybrid? I just got mine today and it's perfect...
Or are we talking about not being able to order the frames individually?

Well I understand that, but honestly I get the feeling they don't have the inventory for that yet. Considering I still had to wait a couple extra days for a black one, it just makes more business sense for them to sell the full units only until they have an excess of frames. Now, in 6 months if they're still selling the case only, then that would be not cool.

The "customization"
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app

it's deceptive marketing with the neo frames. i know if the FTC was made aware Spigen would have two choices: a) offer the frames b) stop marketing the product as customization.

dont know about that.
I wonder if they will only make this one on white,because many people may want some other colors.so maybe they could make at least the same colours they did on slim armor normal cases.

Cool case. I may buy one to use at work (I'm in the construction business). However, using it when I'm not at work - no. It's just too bulky in my opinion.

Clever idea but definitely seems that it would be too bulky for every day use

It looks cool but I wouldn't pay $50 for it. Hell i regret buying the original slim armor. Been trying to get rid of it on Craigslist but no luck yet.

Cruzerlite bumper cases

I got these case's in for review.
Everything from the box to the case it's self is absolutely top notch.
The box has evolved so much since I first purchased a cruzerlite case. It has a nice see thru Window that let's you see your case before you even touch it, and pulls out nicely to introduce you to your new case.
Enough about the packaging! The new bumper cases are frigging sweet. I have had so many cases for the s4 and I wish I would have seen these first. The offer very good protection and little to no bulk. In my opinion these bumper cases are how crapple should have made theres.
I have used this case all day today and can tell you all this its very slim and yet still adds a fair amount of protection. All of the buttons line up perfectly as expected, and there is even a good size lip on the front to protect your screen when laid face down. All in all guys and gals go purchase these if you like slim but trustworthy protection!!! You won't be disappointed !!!
Here is where to find them

A review in exchange for free product is a bribe.

I've purchased around ten cruzerlite cases and they asked me to review these for them and they know I'm honest guy take it as you will just figured I'd post it because they are very nice
I'd also say that's just good customer service!!!

Yes. Its journalistic integrity. That's why when a site gets something for review they give it away. Companies know this so they turn to end users that like getting free stuff.

Frosted Thinline Case

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01L4289OQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I've been waiting on my SE to arrive, and it finally did today. I've been sitting on a case and glass protector for a couple weeks now. Just wanted to link this case and share a few pictures of it installed on my phone.
VERY minimalist case. If you're the type to drop their phone a lot, look elsewhere. I'm not, so it's exactly what I was looking for. I had a very similar case for my LG G Pro back in the day.
It's a got a soft sandpaper-y feel to it, so it adds a good bit of grip to the phone without adding nearly any bulk.

I have to link the gallery on imgur since xda won't allow me to attach the images directly for some reason.

I like the case in the pictures, but that doesn't seem to be the on in the link. Did I just miss it?

No, it's the case. The ring/kickstand is a self adhesive addition. You don't need to use it.
