Wide/Macro Lens for the Evo

Some of you might already know about this, but I just read an article that talks about a set of macro/wide lens that's compatible with the Evo. From the picutrestaken with it, it looks pretty terrific.
Sample shots here: http://www.goodandevo.net/2010/06/review-magnetic-macro-lens-for-htc-evo-4g.html
Can be purchased here: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.14953

Already bought mine, will let you guys know what quality is made of. Will post pics.

Please do. I'd like to see what kind of photos can be taken with that wide angle lens, even if I have to hold it up while taking the shot.

i'm interested to see how your dealings with dealextreme go. i've never even heard of them

They are good but shipping usually takes 3 weeks. I have a jewelers eyepiece that does the same thing as these macro lenses. The one I have is only 1.5x you can buy then at 10x and more. You can buy them for a penny on ebay:

And the biggest feature (to me at least) - Magnetic.

Yeah. But they arent for photographic sessions. They tend to fall off with heavy use.

Dang, that sucks to hear. I was hoping it would be a strong enough magnet to stay at least somewhat firmly attached. I guess you can't expect too much for something that wasn't specifically designed for the Evo.
In any case, it's cool though!

Pictures look fantastic. If anyone gets this let me know how it goes I am so close to pulling the trigger its only ten bucks....

yeah, i went ahead and bought it last night too. i figured 10 bucks...no big whoop. i've thrown away that much just in old produce last week, lol

Quite simply is there a reason not to love their weird selection of products. I've bought so much stuff from them that I have NEVER been able to find anywhere else. I think this company is great.

Looks like fun!
I placed my order, not to worried if they dont stick on there perfectly, they are fairly cheap, do the eyeglass pieces stick to the Evo as well or were those pics taken while holding it in place?

Did anyone find the red macro lens that was in the pictures from engadget?

so, has anyone received one that they've ordered yet? mine says it is 'in packaging'....lord only knows how long that is going to take...

Timothy. I have been a client of them for more than 2 years. No one will receive theirs until 2 weeks or more.

I went and got a walmart money card to get these things but paypal isnt liking it so i guess ill just have to wait til my new check card comes in the mail to order. Hoping i get as good of shots that engadget showed.

expect to wait a bit, that's why shipping is free and it's so cheap. probably 1.5-2 weeks, as that's what happened when i bought a cheap fling monkey scream toy from them last year. that being said, at this price it's still pretty sweet.
on a side note, can anyone recommend any of the ones from that first amazon link? i'd prefer to have it shipped quicker and pay for higher quality if it's reasonable. thanks in advance!

All I did was put the camera right over top of the jewelers lens. The macro shots are more of a novelty for a camera phone. I've always known about this and maybe tried it out 3 times tops on cell phones. Like I said you can buy the jewelers lenses for a penny on ebay, and they are much higher quality and you can pick the magnification.

Theres a product called jelly lens that does the same thing as this except it uses like silly putty or something around the ring to stick instead of using a magnetic ring

How Do I Make Front of the Galaxy S3 Black?

is there any way to make the front white plate of the galaxy s3 black? is there a sticker or plate do make this happen?

I would have done the same thing because I have white galaxy and looks a lot bigger than it is. I did not want to get purple, because purple is ugly and idiots did not make beautiful black (possible matte black) like everyone else??? At least i wana change or repaint back cover?!?!?!
Sorry on my english...

fear not. this works really well
it's a bit operator dependent though. just take care when applying it.

Look for someone who makes custom skins (wrap) and design a black one.

At first I wanted it to be black just like my S2 but now I kinda like it being white, got a smoke coloured belkin half-soft cover on. White's good because it's easier to find in the dark. hehe... What are the differences between the S3 and the Nexus?

If you'd taken the time to look you would see it is a 'Create Your Own' design using the Gelaskins own software on the very page I linked you to. It is a screenshot of a skin that took about 15 seconds to create. Try it.

The skin doesn't cover the left and right boarder (still pebble blue), just the top and bottom. Looks like they do a good job with the soft keys though.

Their designer should be fired on the spot.

Try using some 3M style vinyl and then cutting it with a razor to fit. Same as they do for car wrapping. You may damage the phone doing it, but I don't see any other way

You buy a white phone and want to make it look black?
You buy a nice large screen phone and want to make it look smaller?:silly:

OP, Been reading through this thread here. You're attitude seems to be a little on the aggressive side. You asked a question and asked for help. Members are giving you help and you're being kind of rude about it, and it will not be tolerated at all. Consider this a fair warning for you to tone it down a little bit. Anyone else for that matter.

White vs. Black

So, i cant choose between the black galaxy nexus and the white one. I want you to share your experience and recommend me. I personally think that white is more beautiful, but im worrying that it would turn yellowish in time. Just, help me out here.

It's difficult to advise you on something this subjective, but just know that the decision is never set. You can buy the white housing on eBay and switch for cheap. If you're on the fence, I'd get the white, because the grey housing is much cheaper on eBay. That way it's easier to switch if need be. Personally, I got the grey because I already have a white iPhone.

wow guys, you are mega helpful. Ofcourse i would buy the white one, cuz i like it more, but what if i regret it cuz the white disturbs me while watching movies or it changes color in time. Thats why i asked your recommendations. Its really annoying to see how some people here are so naive and fierce.

Relax, I was playing with you. But think about your question here. You know with white electronics there's always a chance it will fade to yellow over time, so there's really nothing we can tell you that you don't already know.
Like white? Get white (I bet it's gorgeous). If not, get the standard color, it's a great phone.

I wish I could help you, but I haven't personally used the white version (or any white phone, ever).
To those telling the poster it's entirely subjective are ignoring one of his main questions:
Does the white Galaxy Nexus change color over time? For example, like the original NES's tendency to yellow. I don't find it likely, depending on the quality of plastic and dyes used, but I don't know the answer personally. I do know that most lighter colored plastics, particularly the more cheaply made ones, do tend to discolor over time. I can say I agree with the poster above me, pictures of the white Galaxy Nexus do indeed make it look good, and it stands out from all of the grey ones.
As far as whether the white disturbs you while watching videos or anything like that, that kind of question is definitely one that only you can answer for yourself. Sorry that I can't be more help.

Thanks for the constructive answer now. And please dont play with the newbies

I have the white and it looks amazing, If you want the oem extended battery, then get the black bc there is no white battery cover. I end up buying an extra oem battery as an alternative option.

I've never even seen a white Galaxy Nexus in real life. Don't think they are available in Sweden.

Does Sprint have the white galaxy nexus?

I like the white one personally. If you are scared about keeping it white, just get a case to keep it protected. I plan on using an otterbox case when I take it to work to keep it clean, and just using a white tpu bumper to protect it otherwise.

Was there two days ago, they do not.

Buy which ever one, white or black
And then go on amazon or eBay and buy the white/black housing and swap em out when u feel a change of color.

Now, there is no official word from Samsung and it could just be the lighting causing it to look black. But could also be a hint that its coming. I think a black S3 would look pretty awesome, id be pissed though since i already got my pebble blue version.

Ok, now I'm pissed. I wanted black from the start.

I would have taken black as well. Not, saying Blue isn't nice, but shiny black is like eye candy to me.

I've actually grown fond of the Pebble Blue.

I see some blue in there. I don't know......

Looks like a lighting effect. Look at the color where it is closest to the white phone, it is reflecting blue.

Either way black would have been my color choice instead of this white one.

Yah that's definitely just lighting. That's looks blue. Even the border shows hints of blue. But damn..a pebble black would've been sexy tho

Thats Fuuu!! I wanted black. pebble blue is kinda meh.

If you look closely at the besel it is blue

If the phone was black there wouldnt be such a big difference between the screen and the bezel, especially in a press photo. Would have been chill though

I'd trade my 32 GB blue for a 16 GB black. . . lol

Meh.. black is cool but very common. I bought the pebble blue version (happy!!)
Ps we should all keep calling Samsung to pressure them to give us info on the black one!

It's clearly a pebble blue model with a colored screen protector, you can tell by the bezel.

was just up at the att store returning a case and from far away i saw what appeared to be a black s3...only to walk up closer and see it was the blue one. it genuinely looked like the one in the picture. my guess this is just bad lighting

I think the Pebble Blue is a great color. Love it. Have a very well installed screen protector and one of those soft cases with the Android Guy on the back. I also put one of those clips that fold open to slide your fingers thru so you can text with just one hand. Saw it on YouTube and had to have it. $25.00 for that plastic clip but very well made and works great.

Any body used an Urban Armor Gear case before?

Hey there
I was wondering if anyone had tried the Urban Armor Gear case for the HTC One? From the looks of it, it's fantastic and nothing like I've seen before which makes it not only great looking but also very unique. The black/white mix is just amazing and I have read great reviews about the durability and quality of the case, however I'd like to hear your opinions about it since I will be dishing out A LOT of money to order it online (shipping, taxes and customs) and also waiting a long time to receive it.
This is the one I am talking about:

I got the HTC Double Dip Flip cover when I first got the device and I like it, however I seldom use the kickstand feature and in all honestly it adds a lot of bulk to the device. When I take it out of the case, I feel like I am using a different phone. The case does help, though, when it comes to the phone heating up and such from use which can make it a bit uncomfortable as I have very pale, sensitive skin.
You don't have to have used it on the HTC One, but perhaps maybe a Samsung, an iPhone, etc. since I know all the cases will have similar qualities, price tags and bulk.
Any advice and/or information would be appreciated.
Thank you!

It should be noted that I have the black one and noticed that pictures are also washed out a bit when using the flash... I think it has more to do with how close the case fits around the flash/camera.
Otherwise, it's a fantastic case, and probably my favorite case of all time. It looks and feels very well made.

Thanks for the replies. I will check out the dedicated thread.
Regarding the flash issue, I am not much of a photographer, in fact I rarely ever take pictures, and when I want I could always just take the case off until I am done, so that's not a big deal. Have you thought about cutting into the flash area, though, so that it wouldn't be covered like the camera isn't? I am sure that could work.

I have the black version and it's awesome. Just get it.

Take a picture in a dark enough environment that the flash comes on, then take the case off and take the exact same picture. You will see the difference. At least I can see a difference. It isn't bad, but noticeable.
