Hey guys how about this. A black case with a decent size green (or what ever color) Android Guy on the back. Apple loves their apple we should have a way to show off our Droid fella? Just a thought.

I agree
I do like the Android mascot; it would be nice to see case with it.
I'd buy one if it was reasonably priced. But green is really the only color it could be...

Have you checked the thread about the decals?
Thats epic. Just need a good hard case to put them on...
Well.. I saw the picrures of the white and silver inc2. i decided i had to have one. so i made my own. Let me know what you guys think.
By the way, the back is white vinyl. The front is glass etch vinyl. The black lettering on the back is carbon fiber vinyl, and then red shadow is regular red vinyl.
If enough people want it, I will post a DIY guide.
Thanks to gdi2290 for creating the signature that I modified for the back cover. Here's the link to the post where he posted the signatures.

Looks good. The front reminds me of the Thunderbolt.
Looks kind of ehhhh. I think if you actually sanded off the metal faceframe and painted the back silvery, it would've looked better.

I'd like to strip the anodizing off the metal and keep it black. I hate painted metal. Scratches easily.

Looks pretty nice. Reminded me of my white iPhone 3G because of the silver bezel/white back

Are you just saying that because of the rough trimming around the edges on the front? I didn't have a Sharp xacto knife to do it with. So I am going to redo it when I get one.

Bingo! Exactly what I was trying to say.
It looked pointy and uneven but after you scrape the bad stuff it would look nice.

Looks nice. I might have to try out something similar.
The front doesn't look as good as I had hoped. I was thinking about this before I saw the white one. I hope it smooths out

Cool! Does look like an iphone 3g tho

not to put ur work down.. but the front looks like a middle school kid painted over it. did u scratch the black off and paint it the correct way or just paint over? personally i could never use that. but to each their own. not knocking ur work.. internet is hard to tell, nice job but it's just not for me. a lil too sloppy (not that i could do any better.. !) but I guess thats why i havent messed with mine.
It was vinyl. I am going to paint it soon. I didn't even keep the vinyl on for a whole day because it wasn't smooth.

it looks like a better thunderbolt. if u can get that front correct I personally think that would look sick with the stock black back cover.
This is my first thread.....so i figured i would see what you guys think about a personal project I took on...
A few weeks ago I saw the "Panda Phone", thought it was a cool ass idea....but I didnt like the drab black on white color scheme.
So a question was asked...."What would the Epic4gTouch look like if it was made by HTC????"....
And here you have it...... THE SAMSUNG EVO S2 4G
just needed an extra case and digitizer...some krylon red pepper spray paint specifically made to bond to plastic.....and a day of boredom....
Maybe this is in the wrong place. but hell....how much more General does phone modding have to be??
What do you guys think??
I personally think samsung should try out this colorway....
Looks like the camera won't work properly... cool color theme nonetheless.

camera works just fine. i taped off the lens, flash, and all copper connectors inside and out before painting
Looks nice
Would have been cool to see the back with everything all together

I opened this thread expecting it to be full of fail Nice job on the mod, looks good.
I'm thinking I might do something similar, except instead of red I want to do a metallic green. But I'm not sure, I like the clean sleek design the S2 already has.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Metallic green and black.... sounds good.
Yea...tha design is nice as hell...but that's why different colors work so well. I wanna try a red and white next....

You make me want to paint my phone. I've always wanted a dark olive green phone with some flakes. Would look sweet IMO.
Great work btw.
Now we're all going to start taking our phones apart and painting them lol.

Those pixely things are so typically lg and dont really match the nexus vibe
It actually reminds me of one of the original wallpapers in the Nexus one. It's not the same but a bit similar in taste

Creepy - Causing fear or unease.
The back cover of the Nexus 4 elicits unease from me. Its like a bad disco party on the back of your phone

I personally like it, because it's not boring and dull
Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Franco Kernel
I think it looks cool, you can only see it from certain angles so it's a really nice subtle touch.
I like how it doubles as a disco ball for those times when I need one.

I heard there's a mod that lets you use the display's backlighting to illuminate the back cover in various patterns for that purpose.

Nice. Having a translucent hand is finally going to pay off for me!
I think that on android police there was pre review. They took some photos and said, the back isn't that sparkly. Marketing photos over exaggerate back panel...

I agree it's design looks creepy, metaphorically speaking.
IMO the Nexus 4 looks like a fake Gnex, but I'm sure it's looks will grow on me.
Well, to my mind, the idea of those dots on back side is good, it looks new and unusual (I mean new in the mobile phone world, generally it reminds some old Chinese toys), but for me it has some significant shortcomings:
straight. Galaxy Nexus has a kind of wave there, and a small hill at the bottom helped to grab it more confident, this one appears to be hold only due to glass-to-skin rubbing;
glass. If you don't like fingerprints and tried to clean the front side of GN every time after touching it, now you have to clean both sides and you just cannot hold it without setting you fingerprints everywhere.
feel. Cold glass is going to feel much more impersonal and indifferent, than the GN's plastic, even if it is not soft-touch.
So I would say it looks more weird, than creepy.
Don't worry. Once it gets dropped a couple times the sparkley look will change to the shattered look.
The only creepy part is when you drop it the wrong way; the dots will be replaced by jagged lines.
Well the back glass is supposed to be a Lil sunk in from the band around it.... not sure if that matters. So when it lays on the table the glass won't be touching it. So maybe it will protect it somewhat

Damn true. In the future instead of going around and looking at what the person is doing, they'd just bend the phone and see themselves
Finally!!! Been waiting for a phone I can keep the screen awake and wrap a hotdog wiener with to keep it warm while I get my bun ready!!!!

Samsung is superior over apple!!! Anyone that tries to argue this is simple insane! Samsung is the innovator. In my opinion, this may spark the beginning of the next mobile technological revolution. Actually, not even just mobile technology, imagine a cuved TV! A viewing angle of over 180°!

Can't crack it but it will be soft so will be easily scratched or gouged or creased or dented or punctured...
Screen protector market will get a boost from screens like this.
Amazing technology though, will definitely have its uses.
Can't quite wrap my head around it, yet. Maybe I could wrap it around my head! lol! Talk about an immersive 3d experience!
