Gorgeous. You could maybe fashion a screen protector out of paper next

Lol I see you also have the plastic wrapping stuck to it in the back, still have mine on since march when i got it. Also do you plan on maybe intergrating some sort of tabs on the top to keep it from maybe bumping forward on accident?
ehhh looking at the pics again looks like you cant, maybe a washable sticky tape in the back like the one used on the piviot pad. BUut its made of wood and rott durning time

TUTORIAL How to give any phone or case texture and make it look new using Plastidip

http://youtu.be/3aLaCKVH2Q4
Hey guys,
So a week ago i was planning on painting my car mirrors..but I didnt know if i was gonna like it...so I was looking for a cheaper solution...
On diferent car forums I found about this PLASTIDIP thing...so I went to hom depot and for 5 bucks picked me a can
Plastipid is actually like rubberising a surface...best part ITS NOT PERMANENT!!! so if i ever get bored i can remove it like removing glue from your hand
I decded to expand the use of it to my case..and man it looks AWESOME!..no more sliding ..super grippy and if u need a retouch just simply spray another coat
not sure how long it ll last but with a can u can do like 30 cases.. Enjoy!
This works also on phones as well ..BUT be very careful blocking everything from the front part..I would only do the back cover of it if anything
PD im not responsible if you mess up your phone/case

Here some people applied that to their winter wheel and it lasted the whole winter and it's still perfect so I wouldn't be afraid on the case.
That's a great idea, I might do that.

so far im super digging it..my car mirrors look awesome...we ll see how long it lasts...but again what i like the most is if i say i want back my glossiness i just peel it off
it takes a total of like 1.5 hrs with the waiting time

Ill have to wait a little before i can try that.
Here we only have the standard color like black, blue, red and clear. And its expensive 15-20$ per can. Ill have to buy some from US

Damn ..I can't find glossy finish at all here in Vegas guess I'll be ordering online

Reporting back..its been a couple days I'm finally fully used to the texture ..its still holding nice
Did a small drop test .no scratches on the case and it did a different sound when hitting the ground (due the rubberized texture )
I left the phone on my car by accident at 85 degrees here in Vegas...came back and phone was cool ..so the thingy helped with heat absorption ..

Erm..... Isn't that going to look... well, erm..... pants?
You're just attaching an additional battery on to the back of your phone right? I don't get it.
Are you away from a plug socket/outlet for more than 12hrs at a time?

agreed.
you are nowhere near a point where you should be showing off. get at least some semblance of a finished product, then come back.
doing a mod that allows you to keep a stylistic part (the draco) by making the device look like something scrounged from junk, is silly. and that is where it is as of now.

Is that ceiling tile?

I think it is modelling parts: sheets of modelling plastic, glued together with modelling putty.. and then not bothered to be sanded down, or anything.

3D printers. Must have.

Yeah I didn't finish it. I'm using the plastic welding method. Once I sand it down it'll have a rounded edge and it'll be buttery smooth

I'm not showing off. If you go through these threads just to bash on people, its not appreciated. If you actually read it. I wrote "WORK IN PROGRESS" and im pretty sure once i finish dremeling it and sanding it with rounded edges it'll look decent enough.

I just finished sanding. Can anybody give me any suggestions on how to make the corners cleaner? Is silicone a good option? I can't sand it down anymore or I would go through the plastic since I used a thin one to use NFC

Only option to make it look nicer that comes to mind is using a red vinyl decal. Ill try it if all else fails...

Sorry, but I don't get why you're doing this.
As per my previous post, are you away from mains power for more than 12 hours at a time?

Hey dude, get some automotive body filler. Should clean it up nicely. Model car putty should work too but i think the automotive filler will hold up better to getting hit. . Tape off the area you dont want to get the stuff on, Lay it on, than sand it, than id suggest spray painting the stuff to protect it, than it will look good.
Do a search on model car putty to get an idea of what it does.

Thanks, hopefully this works out because i was thinking about silicone and this looks like a better option.

spraying it with white truck bed liner would probably be decent too, figure it would add some durability to it

This us what you need the seidio back for a extended battery.

sigh....
i think buy a battery with extended battery cover is easier...
this is not goign to be looking good when finished...

The enticing factor about the s-view cover to me is it turns on the devices screen when the cover is removed and then switches it off when you close it. Without being able to emulate that functionality, the effort just doesn't seem worth it to me.

Thanks for you reply, Helped me maybe gonna replace it soon

Try using Dex to verify the mobo is intact. Not 100% foolproof but it's a good start.
In the future put it in a good case like the Zizo Bolt.

Yeah it's a heavy, corner hitting, face planting phone
The Bolt can be had for around $20.
The rear kickstand will probably break with use but that doesn't effect drop protection.
In 2.5 years they've sucked up some good hits onto concrete from 2-4 feet. Doesn't mar the frame rails, or attract dirt, grippy but easy to clean.
