Used Rust-O-Leum paint for Wicker materials
2 coat primer and 3 coat gloss white..
I personally dig it.
Cool!! That is really good work... Nice keyboard as well
Excellent job! Have you considered putting the words on the backdoor a different color? Just a suggestion
Meh. Why don't you just buy an iPhone if you want a white phone..
Looks nice!
Sweeeeeeeeeet, make a video next time.

I like the white paint....howd u paint the inside of the phone??
Looks awesome but wouldn't have the stones to do it myself.

Not a fan of the red but you got my respect for working that hard to make your phone unique and turning it into something you like. Very cool.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I'm not a fan of the skin either, but that's removable I suppose.
Why the paint for wicker? RustOleum makes paint for plastics, surely they have white.
Did you disassemble it to paint it? Tell us what you went through to do it.
White is nice... get rid of the red.
**** the haters man, I think what you did is wicked awesome! Looks great man.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
For some reason I was thinking you got yourself a OEM white ET4G... like how you can get a white Galaxy S 2.
Anyway, I like the white but if you don't prep things right the paint will chip off and look like crap very quickly. I can see that happening really fast on small items, using incorrect paint types, and which aren't properly prepped or painted.
So it looks nice now but I imagine it's going to look like crap really soon...

hahahaha ....WORD
but the red carbon is kinda cool, i would have done it on black.....i mean its unique at least, and if the op likes it its his phone....
but iv always personally thought that the whole white phone thing was verry girly.
What would have been really tight is a clean matte gray, almost primer color but cleaner looking with black carbon over it... that woulda been suhhhhweet.

I just ordered this white/silver carbon fiber skin from Skinomi. I've seen quite a few black ones, but no white... so here you go.

Thanks. I've been kinda wanting a good white carbon fiber. Honestly, I'm not so hot on the way this one looks, though. I may wait a bit longer for others. But major thanks for the pics!
Looks pretty good Maybe more for the gals tho.

I'm not too happy about this one either. I have a Phantom Skinz one coming. I'm going to return one of the two.
I have a phantom skinz screen protector, mainly because it greatly reduces smudging. I also reluctantly got a case after getting away with dropping my phone a few times. The case did end up saving the phone at least once when I dropped it on concrete from about 6 feet (I like to drink).
I guess I don't really get these kinds of skins though. Is it just for looks? or for protection? It's not my kind of thing, but if it's just for looks then I guess I understand.
But as far as protection goes, skins only protect against surface scratches. There is no shock protection though, if you drop your phone the skin means nothing.

anyone else notice this? i noticed yesterday my home button is now purple instead of blue.
It's the same pebble blue color. The only difference is that the home button is not behind the gorilla glass so it has that opaque color contrast
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
no. its purple.
Are we going to argue colours all day, it shouldn't change colour maybe in different lightings it looks different but mine has always had a purplish colour to it.
Why not post a picture instead of arguing?
I returned my pebble blue for the white because of this

Do you work with oils or solvents? Like a paint thinner or for that matter whiskey.

The pen is BLUE! The pen is Bluuuuuuee!
But that button is purple. I have the pebble blue and had never noticed it before until SOMEONE pointed it out (point) .Mine looks like yours.
On closer inspection kitkit201 is also correct. The color of the metal used on the bezel seems to be impregnated as that purple color. The Gorilla glass changes it's appearance once applied. The button however is raw so no glass, no coating, no love and therefore will look different much like stained wood when compared to unstained wood.
I'm the po-po so no solvents....lol

Looks like a job well done, the colour is good. I'm not a big fan of flake on smaller items though.
wow that looks pretty awesome!
Looks very very nice, just not too sure im a fan of the shimmer paint, i personally would have gone with a flat blue and a clear coat but nice job none the less. did you go as far as to paint the inside of the housing or just the outside?

The edges are painted inside too. I had a case that was flat blue and glossy, but I like the shimmer better.

The paint has metallic flakes. I like it! If I didn't require an Otter Box, I'd do this too but paint the buttons black.

last thing i heard is that metal/aluminum cases affect wifi signal and the NFC feature. Might be wrong tho
Whoa, that looks very nice. Where can I get one of these? O.O
At least post a link or something.
those cases are not even on the market yet.. only in china or something like that
the metal enclosure like that would most likely affect cell and wifi signal. not sure about NFC though.
that case is very nice! where i can buy it?

Please read.
Seriously why hasn't a company designed a case similar to this, most of the ones in the picture thread look chunky and bumpy and have horrible edges. The UAG doesn't look too bad in black though.
Great case I would buy this only if there was a link to the manufacturer.
I'd like a link as well. It looks AWESOME. I wonder if it comes in black?

I 100% agree with this statement
This actually looks like one of those S3 design pitches. Personally don't like this, but if this is for real, this changes your back cover as well, yes?
Still, looks better than some of the blocky brick designs I've seen in the case thread. Aluminium is a no go though
Wow, any idea where to get one from???????///?/??/??/

I saw them in HK once when I was traveling there last time and I browsed around on the net and seen them again!!
Unfortunately I didn't bookmark the website, I just saved the pictures!
This case is released a while ago so I believe they should be available in America already~~
This is beautiful. Those hating on it obviously aren't secure enough to rock a case that looks like an iPhone. Regardless of your view on Apple, they engineer beautiful devices that can't be ignored.
I'd rock this any day -- regardless of price.

Looks the part alright but this will undoubtedly affect WiFi, etc as other people have mentioned.
Get yourself an urban armor case the best there is

I don't think that a case should just only be about protection like the urban armor case I think because would get this case because it has a great design and I would still get it even if it affects signal.
Actual test all aspects of communications
GPS, WIFI, Bluetooth, 3G are not affected
NFC will affect more than five meters above

Yes, this is my white galaxy nexus. It is not painted or using a skin, it is the GSM white housing installed on a Sprint Nexus. After seeing the white version of the galaxy nexus, I just knew I needed one. Now this one is a bit of a hack job as I was just learning what would be necessary, and it took some pretty heavy modification, but as soon as I get a little more time and spare change I will be buying one more housing to do a cleaner job. Until I start the cleaner modification, I will be perfecting the fit on this one so I can have the best end result possible. As of this time I will not be doing a how-to as much of a hack job as it is, but when doing the cleaner conversion I plan to take some pictures to help some of you other daring DIY'ers out there. This post is just to share/show off my white galaxy nexus haha, and to show that it can be done! And now, a few pictures of my baby:

Looks kinda cool, but reminds me of some old iOS device or something. :/
You should get the Fantom glass screen protector in white to make the front white too. Personally I can't stand white phones with black faces. But that's just me.
Wish i could do that too, would love to have my Nexus in white...

I so totally wanna do with the my Sprint LTE Galaxy Nexus. Would have to ditch my otterbox though. Awesome work!!
I like it, but wouldn't care for the dirty factor it might take on. I prefer colors that hide blemishes and what not.
dude, I hate You.. I want Your phone now...
Would you care to elaborate on how you had to modify the housing?
Great!
