Custom Felt Cases

My wife made this case for my Archos 70 IT for my graduation. It's all felt, with room in the bottom for a microfiber cloth for cleaning the screen (fingerprint magnet these things are!)

I'm pretty stoked. Pretty great gift and screams to the world my android fanboi-ism. FTW.
Here's my blog with a bunch more photos:

OK, that's just awesome.

that's awesome!

The little android looks super cute.

Thanks all! I showed my wife your comments and she was pretty stoked.

haha thats awesome. wish my wife was that creative ;-)

fantastico!
i REALLY like the android guy at the bottom.

She should make a few and post them on etsy for sale. I bet they'd go quickly!

Thanks! She said she'd think about it, but not sure what they would be worth.

That's a great idea, and a great way to establish a fair value. They certainly do take some time to make.
Thanks for the feedback, she's beaming now.

hehe maybe i should as my gf to make one of these for the valentines day

Go for it! I'd offer my wife's plans but she kinda just made it up on the spot. The Android dude is slightly modified from the skateboarder Android, but other than that it's pretty straight forward!
There are some more detailed pics if you click through to my blog. Hopefully that helps make this happen for you.

Probably in the area of $9.99 to $14.99 I would guess.
My wife made me a little felt sleeve...no Android dude and she said it frustrated her so she would never remake it. I showed her this picture and just got the snarky reply of "Maybe you should have married his wife then!"
Ahh pregnancy hormones...gotta love 'em...

Thank you very much for the idea!
I made one my self, not as nice as your wife made, but it will do!
I made this for the A43IT
Thanx from zinloos1

Sweet! Love it.

I finally showed this thread to my wife last night. She was stoked about the comments but said "awww" to you comment. Hope the pregnancy goes well! Fortunatly it doesn't last forever.. although at times it may seem like it. It's pretty rewarding on the other side though.

I would love to have one of those.

Nokia's First WM7 Device

Looks like Nokia's first Windows Phone has been leaked by the CEO no less. It looks a lot like the recently announced N9, but no word on what the internal specs are. It will have to blow the current generation of phones out of the water for me to give up the Super AMOLED screen on my Focus.

i didn't see any windows buttons. In the video he didn't actually turn it on.
Who knows

Full video can be found here:

yeah the lack of front 3 buttons was what I was wondering about as well.

Hmm can't get the full video to load, but it's about time we get a peak of a Nokia WP7 phone. Can't wait!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8M1wC0pS_No
Here you go, enjoy

So does anyone know if this would work on Sprint if it had the same quadband CDMA radios as the meego version? Because I would buy this immediately, if that were the case.
PS - In the long version he turns it on, and another guy comes out and demoes it.

Thanks for the links.
Looking at this unreleased phone, and looking at the already released HTC sensation 4g. All I can say is, Microsoft is in deep ****.
Deep, deep, deep ****. SMFH.

Microsoft is in a very poor situation with regard to WP7, trying to push a new OS to a market which isn't exactly dying for one, needing hundreds of phones and friendly distribution, but the video doesn't make it any worse.

Why were they still recording when he asked everyone to switch off their camera?

Should be more coming as well.

but the here's my question....will it have a FF camera? that's the only thing I want in my next windows phone and well mango too

That's.... kinda ugly at first glance.
I don't particularly enjoy the Nx designs. Sad to see them sticking with it for wp7.
ALTHOUGH I do like the boxiness aspect. I think rounded edges are old school, boxiness is a good thing design-wise.

Or, you could say that rounded phones are a case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Pulling a square-edged, boxy phone out of my pocket can be a real pain, but a phone that has nice rounded corners is not a problem at all.
And personally, boxy = ugly to me.

Hmm never thought of it that way. Would never have thought of that as I've never owned one without rounded edges.

Those on screen buttons are nasty looking, I can see myself now always accidentally hitting them trying to play a game or something. plz bring something else Nokia, because that is not what I want at all

Since they are on-screen buttons, they can be minimized or disappear altogether during a game or open app. This would completely eliminate the accidental press of these buttons.

It's a fake, like mentioned in phandroid, but does look good

Oh well, just show me where can I get that clock widget. It does say "concept" in the title. Bezel to bezel screen is t*t's IMO.

I doubt someone would go so far as to create a fake clock widget. Yeah the bezel to bezel screen was also reported for the "iPhone 5" but people were brought down by the 4s. Definitely not bad looking though and I want it!

Hate the TouchWiz implementation.
Too many on-screen keys.
Please ignore this mockup Samsung.

It actually looks good and besides, the keys can be easily handled by a dev. Hopefully Samsung is quick to release the GS3 earlier than they released the GS2.

By the time I am ready to upgrade my phone again (mid 2013), hopefully, there will be a galaxy s4.

I cant. Beleive people are already chomping to have the GS3 come out. America is turning into that needy fat kid that lives next store whom you can always here calling for more in the squeekiest, winniest voice ever

wow
We can only hope.

How are those "leaked images" if they were generated by user on a Russian concept phone site?

Too. Much. Bezel.
Beat Apple to it, you know the iPhone5 is going to have ulta-minimal bezel.
I know it's an unofficial concept image, but, it's likely right on--roughly speaking. It's time for these companies to stop just achieving design parity with Apple and actually surpassing them. They have an entire fncking year to do it every. single. time. Our specs slaughter the iPhone, constantly...for years now. Time to leapfrog in the physical design department.
Thinner, the least bezel possible, moar screen, moar battery. Get on it Samsung.
PS; Samsung....better radios, plox.

I certainly hope that isn't a real clock widget... If you look at the month dial, it reflects the wrong month where "Jun" is. Should be "Jul".

Win a FREE Laser-Etched XDA Backplate

Just FYI, we're holding a contest that may be relevant to your interests:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/win-a-laser-etched-xda-backplate-for-your-galaxy-nexus
Good luck!

This IS relevant to my interests. Good looking out.

Cool contest. And its good to know that there is a guy that is printing custom ones. I've had some ideas running through my head that I was wondering if they could get done.

Thanks. Entered!

Can it be done with experiences of other devices too?

Can we by any chance buy one ourselves without competing?

Yes. Visit the GRUVER concepts link in the contest. It should be available for purchase there.
Edit: Here's the link: http://www.gruverdesigns.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=20

This contest discriminates against people like me who read instructions properly and therefore have never had a bad flashing experience!

Wouldn't a laser melt the plastic back of the GNEX? Serious question.

It can if too much power is applied. In this case no. It just etches the surface.

The most important part is not the amount of power (or pulse energy) but the pulse duration (you use pulsed lasers for this kind of stuff). If the pulse duration is shorter or almost as short as the heat transfer duration between the atoms/molecules, melting is not a problem any more.
The pulse is "gone" before the heat can effect the nearby matter. You will get really sharp edges.

To win this would be awesome but I've never had any problems flashing anything so "unfortunately" I can't enter the competition, on the other hand I'm fortunate to never had any devices bricked!

great
Thanks for sharing, just bad when i read the others and see i was the daftest lol.
i know it shuts on the 23rd (i think) but when will the winner be announced? i can imagine it may take a while to read all the entrys lol,

Do you know if the cdma version will work on sprints version of the phone? Planning on getting mine sunday. Unfortunetly I can't think of any good stories that surpass those. But I do have my fair share since the days of winmo.

nice. thanks for posting.

Thanks for posting! I"ll have to think of my scariest moment for a bit.

Thanks! I posted my own scary incident back when I had my AT&T Tilt (Kaiser).

Just to give an example of the quality of the back cover, here's the one I had designed. Courtesy of Gruver Concepts (the company holding the contest with XDA)

This is such a cool contest! I just submitted my story. Would be awesome to combine my just ordered GSM Galaxy Nexus with an XDA branded back cover!
Think you'll enjoy my short story about attempting to update my brand new Nexus One while hiding in the work bathroom and thinking I ruined the phone

Quick update for all who entered...
Just a quick update for all those who entered:
We received over a hundred contest entries, most of which were quite epic (perhaps even of the 4g variety)! Picking just 20 winners (10 GSM, 10 CDMA/LTE) was tough, so I added in 3 bonus winners who forgot to write in what type of Nexus they own, but still provided excellent stories. I will send those three an XDA-Developers T-Shirt instead.
Winners will be announced in an hour, at 11:30a Eastern time. At that point, I will shoot off PMs to the lucky few who had the most entertaining and spine-tingling stories asking for their mailing address.
Thank you to all those who participated in the contest. It's amazing how many crazy tales our mobile devices bring us!

Which Watch Faces Do You Want To Replicate?

I'm sure this part of Android wear will end up with lawyers involved and people with tear filled eyes within the next 60 days.
WATCHFACES.
Which ones would you love to see recreated on your Moto360?
For me, it's the Breitling Navimeter Series Cosmonaute, or as I call it...The Perfect Watch.
I'm not one to chase status symbols, but damn... damn.

Or the Breitling you get when you buy a Bentley Contenental....

PanoInverse XL from Glashütte Original
PanoInverse XL as a black one looks really great
Grande Cosmopolite Tourbillon from Glashütte Original
Zürich Weltzeit from NOMOS Glashütte
But I'll end up with a simple bauhaus style watchface.

I'm very simple. Just give me a Rolex submariner face with the branding. Yeah I know its a licensing issue, but hey its what I would want.

Have you seen the watch faces that are available for the Samsung Gear?
http://gearfaces.com
(keep in mind it's square of course)
Should give you some idea of what's possible. There are hundreds of them, once you figure out how to use the site. And copyrights don't appear to be an issue, lol [emoji87] [emoji85] [emoji86]

I own this watch..its beautiful. I would love a Longines face on M360.
