New Gear 2 owner and kind of feeling like it's a bit too masculine for my taste. I know the population is small.... but I was hoping to see some pics of the Gear 2's owned by women. How are you accessorizing your Gear 2? Band recommendations for women? Being so thick... I kind of feel like a steel band would make it look even more masculine. Looking forward to hearing and seeing your thoughts.
I wasn't really feeling the watch band that comes stock, so I went out and got a new band. Not sure if it makes it more masculine or not... but this is what I went with. I like the fact that it slims down towards the latch and isn't the same thickness throughout.

I also like that the band is two-toned. The outer edges are brushed and the inside is shiny.
It'll do for now until I find something better that I like.

That would be great!!!! Thanks for offering. How do you go about changing them? Still learning how to customize the gear.
Bad news about the new band.... turns out I can't attach the charging dock because the metal piece that is attaching the band is in the way.
Something to keep an eye out for with watch bands that aren't exactly 22mm. They come with different size end pieces ranging from 18mm to 22mm.

I've never seen a band with those extra pieces on the ends. Where did you get it and does it have a special name?
Went to a local watch store and found it there. I think its similar to the China/Hong Kong ebay bands. No brand name.
I went to a jeweler store today that sold watch bands also and looked through a catalog they had and it wasn't uncommon for bands to have that type of attachment at the end. I think it makes the bands more universal... so they can be used on round or straight end watches.
Here's another example I found on ebay.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stainless-Steel-Solid-Links-Watch-Band-Strap-Bracelet-Curved-End-18-20-22-mm-/271028238502?pt=US_Watch_Bands&var=&hash=item3f1a8ab8a6
Here's a pic of it taken apart.
I'd see if you can exchange or return the one you have for a "regular" straight end band. There are tons of them out there, and they will all work with your charger.

Wanted to start a thread about Sony SmartWatch Bands. I feel like there is little to no info on what bands other than stock. I like the MN2 but it feels to small on my wrist with the stock band, I know you can attach any 20mm band but i'm just looking to see what other people have done already. I'm looking to make the watch feel bigger than it actually is on my wrist. In the latest press release it stats Sony if working with 3rd party band makers and hopefully we see those products soon before it's to late and the market it flooded with smartwatchs.
I'm using a metal band from an old Casio watch. Doesn't look too bad.

I'm using a 20mm NATO watch strap. I just put the strap right through the clip on the back of the watch without the metal band adapter or anything, and it works well. They're cheap and can be had in number of colors and patterns.
Im using my old Nixon "The Rocker" watch band. It fits great and looks amazing. I also had Ghost Armor put a carbon fiber skin on the sides

doesn't it slide around a bit using that? i looked at doing that but there's nothing to hold it in place. that being said, i bought it second hand and may be missing a piece(s)

I keep the watch clipped on the outer layer of the band as it forms a loop. Gripping only the one layer, it does slide around a little bit. It doesn't slide too far, as it can only move between the two metal rings as shown in the picture. Overall, I don't find that the movement bothers me much at all.

Does the skin cover the white areas of the underside of the watch? That's my one big aesthetic criticism. Sony gave the SmartWatch a nice looking black face and metallic bezel, but I'll never understand why they left the back that bright white color.

The smartwatch looks awesome with that band - my only questions for you are: Was it difficult to make the smartwatch fit to the band, did you have to make adjustments? How is the fit working now? I am interested in getting one and modifying it.
where i can find the metal adapter?
I hate to say that I have christened my Sprint Galaxy S5 by dropping it WITHOUT a case. Almost 3 months without incident!! When it dropped the bottom right hand corner specifically the chrome band around the phone is dinged. My question is does anybody know if there is a way to replace JUST that band, and if it is possible where to get it? Pictures to follow later tonight!

I buy the parts direct from china, not too sure about any online site, i'm sure some does sell it, also updated with a tear down link.
Thanks again!
Here's the part you'll need:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/351070105491
I work for a repair shop and we get parts from these guys, so I can without a doubt vouch for the quality, price, and shipping time.
As for replacing it.... Good luck, you'll need it. The only way into the S5 is behind the screen which must be removed to open it up. It's glued down with superSam****adhesive so more likely than not you'll end up breaking the display or separating the display from the glass. If your screen is fine, it's not worth the cost of replacing your entire display just to replace the midframe.
Just in case, here's a display w/ the home button flex: http://www.ebay.com/itm/351067874432
also need to buy the panel sticker adhesive and the display rim adhesive.
I got all these stuff apart from the panel adhesive, but traded my S5 yesterday for a Tab S 8.4.:fingers-crossed:
Thanks guys for your help! After looking at everything needed to be done I think you guys are right, I will just live with the nicks I have, and since they are a bit sharp, i'll use a dremel on low speed to grind down a little. Like I said thanks again for the eye opener!!!! LoL:cyclops::cyclops::cyclops:
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!

It isn't exact, I hand cut it, but it is pretty close. Cut the volume buttons out on the wrong side. Got mad, so did a pretty crap job of cutting them out on the correct side. oops. All I know is that this sucker would probably stick to a block of ice. And for the first time this phone isn't hurting my pinkie when I am holding it.

Good work, although I don't like cases as they generally make the phone look worse, this makes the phone look much worse, but probably MUCH gripper.
What's this, the skin?

It's actually a good idea in terms of protection without adding size but it's too ugly for me. Still, always good to see people thinking outside the box.

It really doesn't look that bad. The pics were taken with a 13w daylight sitting a couple of feet away using a six hundred dollar point and shoot. Which exaggerates how much it stands out. I'd put it up there with the gaudiness of carbon fiber or that new dragonskin stuff dbrand is pushing. Meaning I totally get where you are coming from. When I see people putting those gaudy skins on their phone, I wonder why they are compelled to buy it. Especially when they do nothing for the grip.
This though... I think you would be surprised. It gives massive confidence without adding any bulk.
Check this out!!!! Maybe what you where looking for?

That's pretty neat. Car seat fabric. Should do decent job for grip. But that one doesn't cover the sides. Hmm. Makes me want to go to Upholstery fabric shop and brainstorm.
A good effort on a difficult task.
I've been using the custom skins from dbrand (https://dbrand.com/) on my last two phones and now on the Pixel XL. These skins are precise beyond belief, so the challenge is installing it on your phone. The adhesive does allow "peel up and retry", so mostly it's just patience that's needed.
The quality is excellent and they have wide range of materials and colors to choose from. I've order black carbon fiber for my Pixel XL ($9.99) and will post a pic once its installed.
That's just it though. They don't have a wide range of materials. It's all the same thing. Vinyl sheets cut out with a laser cutter. They are all slick, and none of them are anywhere near in the same ball park as this.
Post your pics if you want. Seen em all before. Used em all too. Dbrand is a hype machine. Form over function.
Please find the hands-on video of a generic tpu case for the Watch 4. Let me know if you need to know something, always here to help!

From the looks of it, this itself can be used for the Watch 4 because it doesn't have any equipment in it. Just slots to put in your own stuff!
Looks like a good possibility... but someone needs to try it!
My god, this thing is fugly !

I tried it and it didn't work. The Galaxy charger dial is larger in size than Apple and this box is designed for Apple. So it didn't fit. Even by force.
Luckily I could return on Amazon and got refund.
I have used the black sided ones (so you dont even notice theyre there) since the Active 2, and now just got a set for the Watch 4.
They are the great protection and cheap..... AUD$18 for like 4 of them
Best thing to buy is the Spigen rugged armor pro casing. Doesn't add fugly trash around the watch, it creates a completely new look and is rock solid. Doing mud/obstacle runs with it and hell yes, I'm really beating it.... having some protective glass could be helpful as well, but this kind of ugly watch condom is a joke

Looks terrible, completely covers everything and doesnt add any bulks, most people wouldnt notice it
But that sucks, right?
vs, this, at 7 times the price and no face protection:
you were saying something about a joke?
