Epic Touch 4G...James Bond edition!!

Check out the new creation. I know a lot of people have storm trooper epics (white+black)
but this is a combination of a black screen, the silver band from a white housing, and a black back. Looks sick!!! (the back piece is the white housing. so if you take the battery door off, its actually white.
sorry for the ****ty pics but check it out! fell in love with phone all over again. lol

Looks dope!!

i knew they had panda/storm trooper but didn't know anyone else had this setup. thanks for posting the link

I've got a busted E4GT that I'm going to do this to and give to my fiancee.

Looks good, its refreshing to see something different in this section too.

Hey, my E4GT has a couple dings on the body right next to the glass. Judging from the OP's pictures, it looks feasible to replace that part with new? My question, to anyone who may know is: Would it be worth fixing the phone before I sell it? I'm guessing, as it stands now, the phone's in "fair" condition (as Swappa.com would classify) and probably get easy $200. Now if I replaced the body the phone would be worth an EASY $250...Is this a worthwhile thing to do?
Thanks

Replaced just the glass, saved the digi/lcd (With video)

Well I read a lot of places that it couldn't be done. I have successfully replaced just the glass. I recorded it on my Gopro so everyone can see how its done. If you find it useful hit the thanks Make sure you spread this around so people stop buying 300 dollar full LCD assemblies.

hey yellow, does this give us the option of changing the color of the screen then? say i wanted to go from pebble blue to black. i see the black ones available to for sale via ebay. id rather buy a $30 screen and change colors than buy a whole new phone once they become available

That sounds really good. I don't mind my surround being blue, but I do want the screen/soft keys black. I'd have to find a way to make the home button black too. Perhaps paint a white button black with black lexan body paint and swap at the same time.

What do you guys think of the chances that UAG will make a case for us HTC One owners?
Was there any announcement on this before? ...or hints of it?
I wrote a request to the UAG Labs at their official website under 'Customer Support' (Sorry, I still can't post links!). Not sure it would be of any help though... Hopefully they will consider making it. They have great cases and HTC One seems to be a great phone. They would be a great combination! :good:

Yeah it does. Although I rarely use the camera I would rather it be this way than the other. Opening the other way (like last years version) occludes the view of the camera. If it weren't for the stupid home button it wouldn't make a difference as far as being upside down.

I just picked up one of these today. And yes, it does work like the one on the Tab 3. Overall I'd say it's pretty nice. Very compact and seems stable enough on a range of surfaces.
