This is awesome!!!! Thanks!
Here's some i made for you guys.
http://smg.photobucket.com/user/fum/library/Hybrid Cover backgrounds?sort=3&page=1
I figured it out. Thanks for the template!
Thanks a lot for this helpful guide, but is there a chance there might be a way to do this with Paint or any other freeware image editors? I do not own Photoshop unfortunately.
You can use Gimp to do the same thing, with the template. You can download it from gimp.org
Made this background with the template a nexus wallpaper. Trying to imitate the nexus 4, maybe if i can get it printed on a glossy paper it might shine LOL.
i.imm.io/1kPC4.png
How do you guys print it so that it scales with the size of the nexus 5? Do you print straight from photoshop/gimp?
What options do you select?
Print it with Photoshop using the template. I also always use photopaper and cut with an xacto knife. I will try to post mine later.
Here's what I did with a Ringke Fusion Case...

After looking around for a decent stand for my Xperia X10 for my desk and coming up empty, I decided to make my own.

That's awesome man !!!
I'll never buy stand, now that I know I can make my own
+rep
nice stand but i'm more interested in the clock you have on the screen. is that an app?
I believe he is using Kaloer Clock (Search it in Market). Is that correct?
Yeah, it's kaloer clock....i have it set to turn on automatically whenever i charge the phone. It switches orientation too and allows you to set the brightness level. Makes for a great bedside clock.
Nice stand. Huh, I may follow the directions to construct one.
As for Kaloer clock, I found that it made the SE screen lock disappear, no matter which setting I used with the clock. I can only get the screen lock back only after I go to settings - applications - and force close Kaloer clock.
Did that happen to you and if so, have you found a solution.
I made one from Lego.. even managed to build in a little android!!.

gr00vy0ne, can you tell me where you got the seethrough protection case for your x10? maybe give me a link on ebay? tnx
btw. cool stand, i'll definitely make one
For people curious about the case that I have in the photos it's this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Soft-Plastic-Ba...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item45f27d59a9
I bought it from this seller as well.
I wonder if anybody here could make a DIY car mount for x10?hehe
men,its cool,i like it
Here's a stand made from only ONE business card:
The best part of this is that you can unfold the business card, put it in your wallet and use it when you need to!
And yes, I do work for Fido (Canada Wireless Company owned by Rogers) but removed my name from the card
Thanks for sharing Tri3Dent! It looked pretty decent!
Even more stable than the stand that came along with my set. Gonna make one!
beautiful stand!
heres my wall mount stand i needed. i use mine as a clock/alarm, so i wanted it someplace where i wouldnt lose it. hope the pics work.
took me about 45mins with my mitre saw and dremel, threw some old left over car paint and clear coat onto it lol.
does the job though super sturdy too.
tell me what you think!
Ptesmoke
EDIT: lol just looked at the last pic (taken by htc diamond) its not off level!! theres some weird shadows cast there somehow, anyways yea its level just like the shelf above it i promise hahaa!! I should maybe grab a side pic of it to show how i have it angled back at about 15 degrees....

Very nice. I would stongly recommend a plastic type of card as paper might not be strong enough (at least mine)
Dunno if this helps anyone but u cud always steal a stand off someone with one of those nokia comes with music phones (5800?). They fold out and fit our x10s perfectly.

I can't find where can buy it though...
58000 WON, that's around USD 52.
Not bad. Like how the Note slips in on the left side. I write left handed so I'm curious about this case.
nice one. i cant find like that here.
It's a great leather but you'll be able to find something ALMOST equal on ebay. Portfolio-style with credit cards supports etc.
P. S.
I must confess this one it's a little bit more cool instead of others
I love the brown one
Sent from my Galaxy Note with ROMOW 5.1
look nice, singapore got sell meh?
Nice case. A good idea, and well presented too!
For me the best leather case is from Zenus. im using Mastige Ostrich beige colors
I saw a YouTube video on the case and wanted it so badly too. So I went on the site and tried sending an email but got no reply whatsoever. Mind you, this was exactly 10 days ago. Maybe you'll have better luck than me, this is the email l found on the contact page of that site if you want to try: [email protected]
If you get a reply back, mention me please!
http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=238852285
Finally I found Gmarket can do the international order with above link, here to share it with you guys who like that badly too .....
zenus is the best
I personally don't like zenus. their cases are not elegant on design.. it looks like more suitable for young peoples. I'm too old and can't match their pattern / color style. I will study gmarket website and order it, additional delivery charge is around US$10. I think it worth me to buy it at total US$63, a best leather case plus function of an additional wallet.

I note that they are $17.95+$4.50 shipping from NewEgg, but only $14 (not sure about shipping) if you order direct from DecalRUs.com.
Am I loosing it, or do they all cover the back AND the front of the screen? Wouldn't that make it a bit harder to use? I mean I'm sure you could just not apply the front decal, but then what's the point of making front decals?
***EDIT***
Although I must say some of the decals ARE really nice.
How would having them on the front make it harder to use?
** Oh you mean how the image is also on the screen? That's just a wallpaper they include so your screen matches your decal.

if you look at the picture, there is a little blurb in yellow saying "free matching background wallpaper, NO screen protector included"
so it only wraps around the front up until it hits the screen, but doesn't actually cover the glass

Ah THAT explains it. (Guess I am losing my mind) I'm at work on a crap monitor so it was kind of difficult to read the sideways yellow text.

I agree. I'm wondering if they would allow you to upload your own custom images for a custom skin, but i haven't been able to find anything like that, so i doubt it

Makes it pretty expensive, but it is possible.
I love the look of these skins, but I'm wary of putting one on in the long run, because I like certain cases and the look of the "naked" phone, not to mention the faceplate won't work with a screen protector. I was, however, interested about getting just the piece to go over the camera lens, because I figured an ebony camera bit on a red nexus would be a nice accent piece,
I contacted Toast through Facebook, completely sure I'd get a "Sorry, but we can't do individual camera pieces because.." They responded within a day, telling me they'd work it out. After ONE e-mail to them, they assured me they would sell me a single lens cover for $5(shipping included). I'll be getting that ebony piece, for sure.
I have to say, they're making a fantastic impression on me already.

At the back
Inside is this thingymajig. I'm pretty sure this is some sort of a dock or something
Rear view
Tried putting it together. With all my best efforts, I've failed.
Only got this far. I dunno how to build the back part.
I tried searching for it on the interwebz but to no success.
Can anyone please point me out to a tutorial on how to build this?
Extra info: My OPO doesn't come with the Cyanogenmod logo at the back (dunno if this is a good thing). And it's got ColorOS bundled (Now using temasek's).
TIA!!
Have you scanned that qr code? May be some info will be there.

Thank you very much!
How is the slot made? Is it folded inwards? If so, guess I'll have to work a bit with scissors and glue ?
Can you provide the measure of that big horizontal fold near the top, so that I could calculate its dimension (preferably in metric)? ☺
Thank you again! ?
no idea if this is right or not (dont have the dock) but it looks like it might be an opening for a "speaker"
if you look in the bottom of the slot where the phone sits, you can see that its open for the speakers.....so maybe the sound gets directed down and out the back side of the dock.....maybe?
dont have anything that I can draw, but the opening at the back might point towards the phone....so the sound kinda loops around.
