Heya,
So I'm spray painting my cellphone case (that plastic cover thingie to protect the phone) and I've already made the base textured black. I'm going to spray a red design on the back. The deal is I want my initials on the back with an interesting design. So I made 3. The first one is already made into a stencil which I did w/ a good ol' exacto knife. The second one is a sketch of one that my girlfriend likes. The third one is a sudden epiphany. Vote which one you like the most!!!
P.S: Please note that the colored pictures were done via paint therefore any complaints on quality of color in should keep this in mind and also remember that the color is reference to how the design will roughly look like.

I'll jump on this band wagon. Design one rocks and I would use that one. The reason for this, when I first saw it it appears to a be a woman with hands on her thighs, her hair is coming over the top of her head. It is fluid and nice looking at the same time. For me it is a pleasure to look at, even if it is initials.
Heya, good to know that you like it. These designs are done off the top of my head. Those of you guys that just browsed through, please vote for something atleast. it takes less than half a minute.
97 views and 6 votes.
I think the next decal I make should be either:
a) Naked Jessica Alba
b) Naked Kate Beckinsale
c) Naked Grace Kelly
maybe i'll get some serious voting.....
Currently 11.5% of those who view this thread actually votes.
Please vote and/or reply with suggestions! It would be appreciated
So far, a tie between design 1 & 2!!!!
Need more votes!
After all these views.. it's still a tie. SOMEBODY BREAK THE TIE!
I vote for #1. It is fluid simple and will flow with the design of a phone better than the other two!
if you vote for #1 please put it in the poll so i get a good measure of who likes what.
Thanks!
I have a template for a touchpad skin (like the one on gelaskins)
Can I have someone test it out for me by just printing it on normal paper and cutting it out using scissors to see if it works? My printer has gone boom and apart from this I have no need to buy a new one.
Of course if it works, you guys and girls can use it for yourselves, just hit the thanks button for me !

Yes, I printed it out. Sorry not to reply earlier. The image looks great, but on 8 1/2" x 11" paper it is too small to use as a template. Both front and back print side by side on the same sheet - basically at half size and my printer won't take a larger sheet of paper.
Can you separate the front and back - basically place one template per page?

Front and back seperated and I have added the links to the JPG files for those two. Should fit one per page

I printed out the back and placed it on the back of my Touchpad. As you can see, the size is still too small but the proportions seem pretty good. The design behind your template is a skin I already have on the back of my device.
Hope this helps!

I kept it small on purpose cuz if it covers the entire back then the corners start to fold up and crease.....we could snip sections off the corners and work that way if people want to I'm open to suggestions. It seems like i need to try and make it bigger perhaps by 10%. I'll update the links soon
What about the front?

link updated....the back should be perfect now
I found the front to be a bit too big.
I will try again....

Is it possible to make a full template, including the sides and all in one piece?
Btw, they are still too small....
What file are you trying to print? The back fits perfectly now and i haven't updated the front
To be honest it is possible but i don't have the equipment the pro companies have to scan the devices and measuring them up, but yes it is possible

Hi,
Ok, I used corel paintshop pro v12. I had to crop the outer grey area for the template to fit correctly. It printed and fits perfectly!
got a picture?

Just wanted to say thanks for the template my Touchpad has a huge crack right down the back of the case. I've tried the x-case tpu, but the extra weight was a pain, so using your template I cut out a skin from some matt black vinyl I had kicking around. Fits brilliantly thanks again.

So as we all may know, the black Galaxy s 3 was recently released for Verizon. I have 2 options right now
1.) get the pebble Blue galaxy s 3 today
2.) wait about 7 days to get the black gs3
So my main question is right now is there a huge difference between the two colors? I know that in some lighting the blue actually does look black at times and as for the onyx black Galaxy s 3 I never exactly seen it in person yet. Any suggestions?
I suggest u buy the black one and ill trade u my blue one lol
But seriously, I got mine 1month ago, had I known the black one was coming I would have waited. Just my 2cents

Are you going to put a case on it? If so, the blue is fine. If not, the blue looks awful purple.
I like the brown...looks like wood grain to me.
My blue just looks black in the TPU case...except the volume and power buttons...those look purple. :/

man, i really like the brown one in pics too! i thought i was the only one.
for the OP, the blue looks really cool. however, the purple-ish home button does bother some people, and it does limit your cases a little, if you care about colors clashing. that said, i personally would go with the blue over the black, but it's your phone and you'll have to look at it all the time.
also, a lot of the time, the blue does look black, or at least a dark navy blue. it mainly pops under more direct light when you can see the graining pattern

Yep pretty much what you said. Im fine with that purple home button look. Its just a color on a phone. People complain too much.
I just ordered the blue one. I was thinking about getting black but then something dawned on me. Every phone I've owned has been black. Well, except the Nexus One, but that's mainly because it was made of aluminum (hence it was grey). The reason every other phone I've owned was black was because they were only offered in that color. I decided it was time for a change! Besides, blue is my favorite color anyway. Although, I'll probably end up putting a black case on it...
Wow, this is why there is a choice I guess.
I probably would have gone with black if it was available at the time instead of blue, but I kinda like my blue one.
On the other hand, I think the blow lunch brown is so ugly that if that was the only color it came in I might have gone for an entirely different phone.lol

By The way, I have no case and a deep red Hyperion battery cover with the 4000+ extended battery.
is the titanium silver a myth? that one looks the best IMO...

I already have the Blue one, i like it a lot, i don't really notice the "purple" home button... only time i see it is when i have my thumb over it really anyway so it's pretty well covered up. Even when using my phone i'm not looking down at the hardware buttons, i'm looking at the keyboard, picture, game, phone dial buttons, video chat, movie, etc. Only time i even really notice the color is when i'm playing music and my phone's sitting on my desk next to my kb/mouse upside down and even then, i mostly just note how many finger prints are on it rather than the color. I haven't used a case sense the original TPU case messed up my first screen protector, ever since it's been naked and hasn't a scratch on it. Pretty tough freakin' phone tbh.
I was looking at the black one at the verizon store and they used the same purple home button as the blue one. That's very sad of Samsung

My brother owns a black samsung galaxy s3 and it has to be one of the sexiest phones in the market. He bought blue first but exchanged it with black after two days. If you put a case on your phone, the color of the phone will hardly matter. But if you intend to use it without a case, you could not do better than black.
I think the blue is hideous! I'd go with black or brown. The brown looks amazing in person.

They do not use a blue home button on the black S3. You must have been looking at a blue one in bad lighting.

No sir it was the black one and I compared it against my blue one hand in hand and it was the blue button. Maybe it was a rare accident from the factory

I just received the black one from amazon. It looks great. Why does the screen dim every time I get on the Internet or watch a video. Is there a way to turn that off?

I figured it out. You have to pull up settings in the Internet & uncheck auto brightness. Same for videos too.
Go with the white. Khomo makes a black rubberized battery cover that looks absolutely amazing with the white from and silver trim. I'll put a pic up in a little bit to show you. The blue one has a semi little color blue on the side... Just my 2cents

I'm really liking some of the photos posted of combinations everyone has come up with, for their customized Moto X S/PE. When your new device arrives. Please post photos here of your new Moto, for everyone to enjoy .
Here's a photo of the back of mine. I could not get my old M7 to take a good shot of the front .
But it's white front, champagne trim, champagne accent and black leather back.
Depending on the viewing angle, the champagne looks silver.
Front- Black

That's a personal question...[emoji23]
I went with the Mocha Gold option, and I was really hesitant before ordering. In person it looks much more subtle than some of the pictures and videos online were totally off. From the back, in certain light, it almost looks like a softer rose gold? But every time I look at it in different light it looks different. Overall I am really happy I went with it though.
What do you think of the color options? Which color did you get?
I need to see in person. Seems cool, but if too gold or brown not so much. A bronze though might be cool. Anyways not much help as I can't really say anything other than curious until I see in person.
I got white and put black protector on screen so it is black front and white back like the Nexus phones. Such a small thing but really looks tons better. I would have gone for silver or grey but hard to tell not seeing them in person, a deep rich grey would be nice though. Love this as is though, just wish the bottom black bezel covered the nameplate completely or had oval cutout rather than rectangular cutout - looks less polished with the rectangular cutout but can't find any that are otherwise.

I wanted to go with the Space Grey originally, but the 6 GB 128 GB premium version was only offered in Mocha Gold or Gold. Overall it looks almost nothing like the pictures, but they did the colors very well and I am impressed. Its more of a softer or low-key gold than brown, not quite rose gold, but darker.
Still would have preferred the Space Grey as its more of a minimal clean look, but meh, it still looks very good. :silly:
I originally got Gold but it has a shiny coat on the back which I didn't like. Swapped it for a Mocha with a matte finish on the back and loving it.
