Not currently the phone is wayy too new and not quit popular like the iphone wait a little while
Won't happen. The only reason you can do it with the iPhone is because it's already glass. They just had to strip the paint off the back.
You're quite wrong, there are many phones that aren't glass that have this same modification.
Swifted from my Atrix.
android devices get outdated too fast for this kind of mod.
remember back in the day when there was the motorola v300, there were plentiful shell mods online, because phones were released only so often back then.
Nowadays there is a new android device out every few months, and there is no point in building a product for it because the market changes so fast.
this isnt the case with the iphone because its once a year, and theres only one model, so the popularity of it is high enough that making accessories for it is profitable.

Okay. Let me rephrase my previous statement. Show me a recent smart phone with a clear case. Not a phone from the 90's.
Wow, I'm sorry for getting back here later then I said but in truth I didn’t expect so many great reply’s. This is why you guys are the best

I remember seeing that iphone mod a while back, I believe the owner took the glass off and used paint thinner to remove the black paint. If you dont mind taking apart your Atrix, perhaps try that?

How's that supposed to work? The Atrix isn't made out of glass like the iPhone 4.

I was referring to the front, which I believe is gorilla glass. For the back, you'd have to find a replacement cover.

At least our back piece is removable, so that part shouldn't be too dangerous!

Everyone, I can not find a leather case with a built in bluetooth keyboard anywhere. Am I the only one looking for such a thing? The only things I have found after scouring is below. The first one would do but you have to buy in bulk.
Sorry the below are not hyperlinks as I am a new member and can not post them.

Thanks !!!
I was looking for the same thing. Give it some time. Companies don't want to release accessories for products that might not make it to the mass consumer. I'll keep my eyes peeled as well. Did you check the other posts about cases?

no, you're not the only one. I want something like this too. I finally broke down and picked up moto's keyboard, which is good enough for now. It is pretty small.
still waiting as well... I started a thread about it a while ago too
How about this version?

Hey! Do you have any update on the case?
I found this on amazon, but of course it's for the iPad2... I sent an email to the seller asking if a Xoom version is planned. That might fit into a netbook bag still.
This is exactly what I am looking for. I have looked every where but haven't found anything yet. I'll post when I find something.
Gonna get involved in this post too since I've been looking for one. Emailed a couple manufacturers for current ipad keyboard cases but no resppnse yet.

Yeah, I get the feeling they don't care about a few hundred to a thousand Xoom users when they have hundreds of times the users with iPads... However, the first one brave enough to make a good quality case might get all the business!
This is what I'm waiting for, but I might return my Xoom if one doesn't come out soon or if some other easily portable keyboard solution isn't available. If that happens, I'll just get the Asus Transformer.

Hey, I am running CM7 with the MUIU Camera app.
Owned the device for some time now so not as anal about it, took the lens protector cover off the back of the camera (on the removable part) and my lord. What a difference. Very sharp and clear. That plastic bit I took out just couldn't be cleaned after about a year, it was always mucky no matter what. I was getting peev'd at iPhone users saying how better their images were but that's not the case anymore.
Would recommend if you like your images.
Sorry I cant do like for like but hopefully you'll get the idea;

What do you think?
It has been discussed in the past. The problem is that cheap plastic lens cover that easily gets scratched and dirty. Some people simply remove it and others replace it with a sapphire glass. There is also an old thread around... Search!

Some boards are unusable these days, because when you do search you just get posts from wanna be mods bashing at people to search, making search results all but useless. I wasn't asking a retarded question, I was sharing my findings.
Thanks for your time.

where did you get a new back cover from?
I like this thread. I do get sick of the lack of clarity in photos sometimes, and yeah I've noticed that my plastic cover has been getting progressively worse over time, so I just did what you suggested, to take the back cover off, and I got a nice comparison (of your photos, actually!) and the differences are absolutely phenomenal. Might have to get a replacement back now .
Dan.
I think they are better but I have stock 2.1 camera app and it is good for me.

First thing I want to clear is that I dont have a Nexus 5, My gf has one and this is for her phone..
Recently I saw one N5 which had a screen protector(SP).. It had the words "Nexus 5" written on it which could only been seen when the screen was off (glowing wud be a similar term but it was more sort of the small freebies we used to get in cheetos/lays in the early 00's I hope you guys get me)
Also i'm 100% positive that it wasnt some kind of screensaver coz I cud make out the remaining part of the screen was off as opposed to be being black(like on voip calls)
Can you guys find me the SP? I am confused what exactly to search for and generic collection of N5 SP is huge, so posted it here..
thanks a lot in advance

What you saw was someone who had not yet removed the plastic layer that covers the screen when you first pull it out of its box. It's not a screen protector per say, and I don't think they sell any of them like that.
As someone who kept mine on for a bit I can let you know that you certainly do see it even when the screen is on, it's just less noticeable.
did it look like this?

ohh wud had been cooler if there was a SP with this concept
anywAY my bad.. if any mod is reading this they may close the thread
It's hacky, but it works. Let me know if you guys want a write-up.
NOTE: You don't have to break the back of the watch to get this to work. I broke it a while back.

Sweet Mercy that looks painful!
Nice hack though, I'm always on the lookout for interesting hardware mods!
Question though, mine has started cracking too... anything other than aesthetics affected by it? Heart rate monitor or dust ingress? It would be good to know what to expect if my crack starts expanding... maybe I should dremel it preemptively?
Eek, how did you break it like that?!
Let me guess your real job is a butcher!

call motorola and get a free replacement. No reason to have a cracked back! You even get a free charging cradle out of the whole thing (and I think the replacements are stronger because I haven't had an issue since I got it swapped)

I'm in that situation where I bought it from someone who bought it in the US, and I find myself in Canada... And Motorola isn't capable of shipping me a replacement, unless I give them a US based address... Seems like too much of a hassle really, everything else is fine, and it had this tiny crack when I bought it (the guy had small wrists, much smaller than mine). I check it every night before I put it on the charger, hasn't expanded at all.
Given some horror stories I've read online of DOA units, dead pixels that aren't covered by warranty and other things, I'd rather stick with my perfectly functional one . Worst case, I'll just dremel the edges to reduce strain.
Thanks for the advice though! :good:

I'm sorry, but to be honest... It looks like ****...
Im sorry but i stall cant stop laughing
The cracks happen when using wrong bands. The metal bands push against the glass back and they crack the glass. Normally the back won't crack when using the genuine strap. I had the pebble steel on the moto360 and saw the glass started damaging so I removed it. If I had it still on then it would have cracked almost certainly
There sure are! At Southern Straps we have NATOs for the MOTO 360
Check us out when you get the chance. Out straps come with a Lifetime Warranty and our founder came from the Android Wear project.
Our bands fit Apple, Pebble and all Android Wear watches!
Hi guys!
I just recently found out that Slickwraps have released skins for the OnePlus X
Has anyone purchased and applied them yet? If yes, could you please share your experience and possibly a few pictures of the phone with the skin?
Also anyone who has used Slickwraps skins on other phones are welcome to share their experience so I can buy a skin from Slickwraps too!
Thank you.

Yeah, would be nice to see some real-life photos. Just found this on the oneplus forum
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/slickwraps-skins-and-their-dirty-marketing-strategy.379210/
Oh no, this is making me even more anxious now! I'll probably wait for someone to purchase and then ask them about their experience. Thanks for letting me know about this!
I have just received the 'leather style' one for my x and the fit is .. yes I will say perfect. I managed to fit it almost as good too. With some evenings of running back of my nail up and down the edges, I can now hardly feel that it is on.
Without doubt it stops it being so slippy, but if I have one criticism, I wish either of the companys would produce a soft feel type product for the OPx. However, until that day this will do nicely.
This is the first time since ownership that I have not had my OPx in either of the official cases, both of which still fit nicely.
For the record I have often used various wraps on previous phones and NEVER use anything but the back piece.

Paid like $13 and something including international shipping. But with 4/20 promo code though... But check their site, they always have promotions. And it's totally worth it, no defects.
Anyone else?
