Hi guys.. since I got a 3150 mAh battery.. I kinda thought my Uni looked bulgy and boring.. so I got my Uni modded.. But most of my friends says it sucks.. They say, it kinda took the "Executive" look of my XDA Exec.. and that it now looks cheap.
But I think it's nice.. and I wanna know what other Universal users think about it.

Please post your own mods. I wanna see some better designs and get mine replaced if yours look better. Thanks!!
Hey DaVince,
I like what you've done to your Exec. It makes in unique. How did you achieve it? As a non-professional Exec user I've been looking for a way to jazz up mine since I've had it. Is it a custom paint job or a vinyl?
Cheers,
Ash
it defenetly does not look bad! have you painted it or is this a new case?
Hi guys,
It was done by a modding shop here called GMask. They applied a really thin film over the case (so it kind of also acts as protection from scratches). They also do laptops and cellphones.
Thanks for looking.
i also see one in bandung.i ask for the price for covering entire my dopod 900,its 200k.how much do your cost?is it can be peeled off?too bad they dont have solid colors like red only or blue.or lightning blue in black bg,or red fire like harley,or bullet hole.in sby there used to be a custom print.but now they re gone.i get it for my SE p900.

Mine was Php1,395 (Philippine Pesos). Just convert it to your currency.
And yes, it can be peeled off without damaging the case. You just have to take out that somewhat laminating tape on the edge.

Plastic.. much like that Clean Wrap film you use for sealing food.

They have many branches. They have one at Glorietta, Greenbelt, etc.
I got mine at SM Mall of Asia.
Thanks DaVince
I'll try to visit Glorietta and Greenbelt.
@DaVince: Is that an extended battery you have on it? Seems a bit thicker than standard, where did you get it? Thanks in advance.
G-mask Site
here's the G-Mask site: http://www.gmask.com.ph
It seems they have branches outside of the Philippines...
and so it seems.
i wonder where the outlet in dubai is... it says end of 2006 but no address yet.
hmmm.

dont worry lol. I changed my mind when i found a carbon fiber skin online.
If you have an airbrush you can do it, and make it look good.
I airbrushed a spare back cover for my Dinc, did it in a nice pearl metallic blue, was considering doing a pink camo one for my wife. An Airbrush, proper prepping, and patience will net you a nice result. You could also look in the ricer section of places like AutoZone and get carbon fiber wrap/decal/overlays and cut that out to your phone and cover it. Alot of options if you are crafty enough and take your time. I have been making phone docks for our work desks, nightstands/etc out of wood for our Dincs, and will be making a few prototypes for the X before it arrives some time next year You would think Motorola would produce the damn things.........
Do you have a blog or something it would be interesting to see what you've done
gold and red is TACKY. keep the dark gray and do some red accents.

No I dont have a blog, I just like to tinker, but here is a pic or two of the prototypes I have done for our Dinc's. This weekend I will probably do a full redesign and make 2 for my X with magnets embedded for the home dock Multimedia Mode.
I have made like 15 of these, moved on to hardwood and going to stain the first one, better sanding, etc, the 2 I made for my Mom look fantastic, also experimenting with different fabric, I got a sq yard of nice leather, wondering how much I should use, only on the back? the sides? so yeah, just tinkering.

lol, I actually made a mini Adriaondak chair for my moms Moto Droid. I only did one. Was a major pain as I had to cut so many small pieces, then glueing it together was another pain. Never again on that one.
Those are just blah prototypes. I moved onto better wood and now that I have the Dx, I am going to work on one that fits the phone, and fits the curve of the back and puts it into Desk Clock/Multimedia Mode. My work schedule keeps me limited to weekends, and it has been 105+ and I dont have AC in my woodshop. Was hoping to have a few 5-10 made by now and all the bugs worked out for the Dx model. Wifes Dx is coming around the end of the month so I still have a little time.
Looks cool!
Nice job!

Any pics ?
How is the grip/feel? Does it feel rubbery/tacky; or plastic/smooth/slippery? LOL
I wish I could find this thing in the U.S. All I have found is Hong Kong/UK, Paypal only, 2-3 weeks delivery etc...
Try ebay a seller selling for 7.95 or offer. I made £5 offer and they excepted, awaiting delivery, some1 has a pic on a different thread. Looks very nice!!!
I also have one of these, but it leaves the top and bottom exposed, so I also use the HTC HD7 leather pouch and with the hard case it combines perfect, got the leather pouch from o2 but they are cheaper from amazon ;-)
I got these pictures from another site:
http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/995514-samsung-galaxy-s-ii/page__st__90
Here is what the original author had to say about it:
Previous pics online stores of the official case don't give the impression of it looking as expensive as it does in person so hopefully my pics will help change that
The material is plastic/rubberised but it's not as rubbery as other cases, it won't show finger greasy marks like others and appears to be black inside and out so chips/scrapes won't show the undercoat which is good news as my Desire case had white showing on every edge!
I like the drilled look too, I don't think it's to help heat escape but more a design feature and does help grip too.
It also provides a bit of a lip on the front so if the phone is placed face down then the screen is protected from surface contact.

After dropping my phone in my room last night, it's been relegated to storage, impacted with carpeted floor, and shot off out the door, phone left on the floor screen down. Imagine that in the high street, even if it offers minimum protection it should atleast stay on the phone.
Yes we all heard about your accident
You got unlucky, that is all.
dunno mate i'm pretty careful and a little OCD about fitment, but it was off my desk, i mean surely a little more sturdy?
Something occured to me in the office, some thin doublesided tape could work wonders.
I think you got unlucky dude
My HTC Magic suffered a facial scare (the girls love scars, afterall!) yet my Desire was fine
do you have the link of ebay? I cant find this case anywhere.

From the looks of the pics it looks like the battery cover is slightly thicker than the stock cover, so it should protect the camera lens from scratching.
thanks ! have been looking for these for a while !
I'm actually after a spare stock rear battery cover. Anyone seen them being sold online or at a shop?
Thanks! I'll buy the black one, because I don't want to scratch the original one.

I dont think you could scratch the original one even if you tried. Its made of perforated plastic and is rough to touch anyway.
I think these might be cool for parties etc
Depending on the price I'd love to get a yellow and green one!
Well I actually bought the white one, will post pictures/comments when I have it. If people are interested

Nice link, shame the only colour they seem not to do is the one I want (red)
I'd like to se e metal ones. Maybe somthing the same colour as the metal on the outer rim of the phone would look good.
I would be very interested in one if these if they played nice with the Zagg invisibleShield FULL BODY maximum coverage or easy install. The stock back has the texture which makes the invisible shields look like junk and peel.
Anyone want to be my guinea pig?? =D
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
If the price was right, it would be cool to be able to switch the back cover to suit the colour of your wallpaper. $13 seems a little steep though. If it had been $6 I might have gone for a couple.
Interested to see what they look like in reality though.

Exactly
I bought these on ebay for about $10 each. Sorry if the pics aren't the best. There's not a lot to say about them, they fit very well and I don't feel any give or looseness. The plastic quality is pretty good, and look much better in good light. For the money, I'd say they're definitely worth it, no doubt.

I got the red one and like you I was quite impressed. Very nice looking out of the box.
However the feel of the case is very slippery and difficult to hold. Not sure if the original is the same but I just could not get used to it. Went back to a cheap e-bay TPU case again after a few days.
Can you...
....Give me a link to this store. I'll definitely buy one of these. :highfive:
EDIT: to ebay.co.uk
Any experience with the peeling issue? I'm asking everywhere, i would buy this one instantly, but the peeling issue keeps me from that
Thank you for the review
Can you please add a pic with the bumper mounted? I've ordered the yellow one from Hong Kong and I'm waiting for its arrival.

I completely agree. It's pretty slippery, but good looking. I'm just going to use it once in a while when I go out and want a different look. But for most days I'm going to stick to my Ringke Fusion Crystal View case. It has very tacky sides and I never feel likes it's going to slip out of my hands. But like I said, the replica bumper cases do look good. For what I paid, it's adequate.

I also got the grey one but was able to use it only for a few weeks before there was quite bad dis-colouration on the sides/edges and back. Makes it look very dingy.
That along with how slippery it was makes it something I would not recommend.
I'm no expert but these replica cases somehow feel like they are missing some kind of coating or finishing or something.
Hey there. I'm looking to buy a good case for my phone. I live in Ireland and if possible can any one find a nice cheap case from UK or Ireland if possible ? Any suggestions appreciated

I have a xt1032 (forgot to mention) the case looks nice. I don't mind if its a bit chunky unless its really chunky, overall I think the case looks nice . I don't know whether or not I need screen protector because I thought moto g screen is scratch proof. My current case is a big thick leather flip case which is a bit annoying when I play games.

For me the best case is the moto grip shell. It's colorful, it protects both the screen (because the silicon part comes a little bit over it) and the phone itself. You can find it on different websites around 10$...
A few days ago I ordered the case @matmutant suggested. It comes with screen protector,stylus and case and all for just 8€ so I'm pretty happy
