Any place where I can make a case with a custom image?
Maybe skin it will let you upload a picture and they can make a wrap for your case. But I don't know of any custom case sites sorry.

I wanna get one for my mom too.
there is
there is a way, my friend got his iphone back cover laser etched with his custom logo. I believe the shops that make trophy plaques would be able to do it. Or custom computer building shops.
I have actually seen a site that did it. I can't recall ATM. I would say Google it. I'll check as Well. It was only for limited devices though.

+1 for the laser etching, my friend did it to his blackberrys backside.
He actually works at a cresting company (embroidery etc for hockey jerseys and other sports clothing), the laser they use for cutting out the symbols worked for it.
Duct tape, scissors, and paint.

It was quite difficult. It would have been easier if I made a template and cut the holes before applying the tape onto the Tab.
Nice job (from the photo anyway). You should soon be able to get premade skins made from the 3M Carbon fiber tape. They already have them for most every other device (I have one on my Dell Laptop).
Here is one for the Asus ....

Wouldn't it be awesome? To buy a gold faceplate off eBay and install it yourself and end up having a shiney new gold phone. Beat that iSheep! But however I don't think it is possible simply because of the way the the phone was designed - and that was thinness first. Samsung has fused all those layers of glass (glass, touch screen, and digitizer[?]) together so we get a thinner product, but harder physical customisations/repairs. I might be wrong though, has anyone here replaced the faceplate/screen of their SGS3? Would it be possible to spray paint even the faceplate without getting the screen too?
What is your guys opinion on the way this phone was designed? (In relation to thinnest VS hard repairs, not how god damn ugly Apple made Samsung design the phone) Also, if you could, what color(s) would you paint your SGS3?

Really? I wonder how exactly they do it. There isnt anything on ebay thats like "Change your frame for Galaxy S3!" The only way i can seen it is to replace your screen as well. But that limits us to only white, blue and red frames. No to mention its a hefty ~$230

Oh, and where did you buy it from? (amazon?)
brush aluminum facial plate frame, i have a thread on this, includes a aluminum home button.

Theres 3 options to change the color right now
Mercury screen protectors. Leaves a 2mm gap all around the phone so i wouldnt recommend it.

I've seen the aluminum cases and they look nice. I'm curious as to if they have a negative impact on the signal strength/ reception. If they don't, I'd be tempted to get one myself!
Yea the housing looks nice. I guess the goal for us all is to have a different colored S3, but preferably without adding bulk to it. The Mercury screen protectors are nice actually, as well as the replacement back cover/housing. So I guess there were more options available that i didnt know about when i started this thread.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I'm still looking at the mercury protectors but it seems that there are 2 versions. a flat one that leaves a 2mm gap from the edge and a curved one that fits perfectly.
I'm still trying to figure out if there's a way to get the curved one. but that is an option for you.
EDIT: and the housing.. you can always buy the housing and spraypaint it yourself.. or even handpaint it if you have the artistic skills.
I have a bezel and home button with infused "diamonds". No stickers etc. Looks nice with the Pebble Blue screen and battery cover.
Hello-
looking to purchase a good, slim, case with a belt clip. Are there any cases out right now that have a belt clip?
Thanks

There's a few on eBay. I can see why a belt clip would be useful - small pockets would be one for starters. I personally would use one at work because our medical scrubs have very baggy pockets - my current phone has fallen out of them many many times - and I do not want this to happen to my SGNII when I finally get it (come on 32GB) - I wear an equally "unfashionable" belt bag (or "bum bag") UNDER my scrubs to carry the important things I need (wallet etc), many of us already use a belt clip which fits nicely over the cord that ties the scrubs. Others use a man bag - I think a belt clip looks better than this solution.
Some people will comment and say that they are unfashionable or out of date but sometimes people need things because they work for them. One of my friends at work has a SGNI and the number of times that he gets the comments "my god that looks like a 1980's phone" is more than I can remember (of course then he shows them the phone and shuts them well up!)
The second reason to use a belt mount would be that there is no way on earth you're going to get the SGNII out of a front pocket whilst sitting and I'd never put it in a rear pocket.
I've not found a slim solution yet, but give it time and I'm sure one will arrive - this phone seems to be even more popular than the SGNI (judging from what my local retailers have said) so once it hits the USA I'm sure case manufacturers will take some notice.
I love this case. I got it in turquoise mint and I love it. The case is a TPU silicone (sorta) case. It fits but its flimsy enough to easily take on and off. Sadly, what I didn't know is that when shined in the light, the phone case is a bit glittery. But hell, I don't care.
This case also comes in many colors. Plus when I got the package, there was a cheap cut out Thank You card. That means a lot, considering all the stuff I buy from amazon is in bubble wrap and just a....disgusting plastic wrap.

Only thing I don't like about those cases are the cutouts for buttons. When I get a tpu case I want to be as protected as possible. I'd go crazy looking at those holes for the antenna and sd card slot. Just extra places for dirt to get in.

The top one is the antenna and the one on the left is the sim card slot. That case made for the Korean model that our phone took design after. Just those 2 changes. Are the only difference.
Well now you ruined the mystery to him lol

Have had this case for a couple months now; best of the four TPU-type cases I've had yet. It stays on very well, doesn't lift up screen protectors (!), and protects enough such that I still have no damage after a couple drops (3-4 feet out of the pocket style). The glittery styling on the back is nice yet subtle too. Yes the cutouts are a bit odd on a US model, but all things considered it could be worse!
Hey everyone, I was browsing the internet and came across a product that apparently boost your cell phone tower service, has anyone used one of these before, and anyone know where the antenna is on the moto g?

These do not work, there's many webpages to see this info. They've been sold for years and years and none of them work.
The antenna built into a mobile phone is very carefully designed for optimal reception/transmission and small piece of plastic with gold etch on it won't help, it's more likely to cause issues.

The antennas on the Moto G appear to be bonded onto the back, top and bottom - remove the back cover and you can see a slight raised section on the top and on the bottom edges of the phone.
Seriously, these stickers only work when you stick them to your forehead so everyone you meet can save time finding out what an idiot you are.
