Nice job.
I wish I had the ability to move that fast! You must be very productive.
You should have used funtwo's Canon Rock version of the song, would go along nicely with your super powers. :victory:

I wish I had the ability to be salty yet delicious. You, sir bacon are the envy of many. You go well with both chocolate and ketchup but never together.
Have you noticed lint getting stuck on the edges, or the corners peeling especially on the thin side strips?
THanks

Isn't it amazing how well bacon goes with chocolate? I only found out about this last year and was blown away.

Check it out. Made it with some sold scrap metal I had around the shop. I will get more pics when I put some spray on it.
Here it is all finished. The bolts make it so I can tilt the phone more forward or back by loosening or tightening the jam nuts. Comes in handy when watching video. I put some VW lug covers on the head of the bolts to protect the case of the phone. Not bad for a days work.
Sweet!

wouldnt really consider that ghetto. have you seen the ****ers around here using the cardboard box the phone came in? or the guys using paperclips?
he could probably market this to iphone owners as some industrial steampunk phone stand, get "Made for iPhone" stamped on the box and sell these for $200 all day long.

You know, I was thinking the same thing. Im going to make another for my touch pro 2. I will post pics asap.
What case is that on the phone? I just ordered a Vibrant (it'll be here tomorrow. Can't wait!) and I'm looking for a good case to put it in. That one looks pretty nice. I was a bit disappointed to find that Otterbox doesn't make a case for the Vibrant.

Its just a rubber case from the T-mobile store. I got it when I got the phone. It was only like $15 and it fits real nice.

love to see it. i'm a car guy too. buddy of mine made some lamps out of old cams, cranks and turbine housings from some shot turbos he had in his garage.
i like to see stuff like this. lots of people dont have an open enough mind to figure stuff like this out.
Nice Job. Money tight? I hear ya.
New Dock
This is my new one, for my touch pro2. Same basic design as the first, but a little rougher around the edges. It also fits my vibrant really well. I think Im going to play around with fiberglass and see what I come up with. I did body work for awhile, and I can sling mud with the best of them.
Hey guys...got the PhantomSkin Chromatic kit in the mail today and decided to install it this morning. The package was very impressive. Included was the Chromatic kit and 2 free screen savers. I was currently using the black OEM gel case with the dinky screen protector. I first put on the screen protector follwing the instructions given. The install was a breeze! Coming from a ZAGG shield, I was very impressed with this screen protector. The screen was clear with little to minimal orange peel! I then started with the Chromatic Install. The battery cover went on smooth. The next thing I did was the camera part. I noticed even though I was pressing down hard and hitting it with the dryer, the sides would pop up! The MT4G has alot of rounded corners so this really concerned me. I went ahead with the bottom part and the sides. Nothing was holding, I dont know if it was the weather or what...I started peeling it off to return the product but decided to look read up here alittle bit. Thanks to member "methodz" who installed this also, I found a new way to install it. I just put on piece by piece, but instead of using the dryer, he recommended a lighter!!! After hearing this, the install was cake..everything stuck on like a glove. I dont recommend this product unless you have the black version as there are many gaps! I love the CF look and it feels great, I am going to keep this setup and match it with the OEM holster till a Otterbox series comes out. Sorry for the big pics, but I wanted everyone to see the detail and the gaps. Hope this helps anybody who was thinking of installing this kit! On to the pics!!!

FYI: I aligned the battery cover after these pictures were taken.
SET #2
Man that looks good.Also looks like a lot of work to get perfectly lined up and stuck down.How much was that?
I'm gonna make out resident screen protector application expert put mine on! It should be here soon

the back of my phone looks like that, but i didn't use the side pieces, just the 3 main pieces on the back.
That looks really good, but I don't think I'd have the patience to line all those pieces up perfectly. What's it going to be like when/if you ever decide to remove them off the phone?
I checked out that site after getting my MT4G, and can't you choose what design you want for your phone? It didn't even show a picture of what it would look like after selecting the one for the MT4G.
Nice photos BTW!

It looks difficult but really easy. It was easy to align. The kit cost $29.99 but there is a 30% off coupon on their site. You get the Chromatic kit plus two free screen protectors for $20.96 shipped to your door!

Thanks! I used by DSLR and bounced the flash so you can get an idea of the CF pattern and tried to get as much detail as possible. The install was easy bro! Also I peeled off some of the stuff i slightly heated and it came off without residue!
Looks good, but it would concern me that the silver bezel is still exposed to possible scratching/damage in the event of a drop. Is there any way to protect that with a skinz type of system like this?
Also, you were able to peel off some without residue, but does anyone have experience trying to get this kind of thing off after a few months?
How exactly to use the lighter???

Just get close to the parts that arent sticking well and run it back and forth maybe like 3 timess to give it a little heat. Dont let the flame touch the CF. Get your thumb afterwards and stroke it into place LOL! GL on the install!
Geezz....I already messed up the screen shield.....DUNNO this instruction says soap, but id doesn't workout....
I see kinda wave-y pattern....is it normal?
Ain't for me this job...I'm pissed now
PS: redid it, look ok now, not perfect job though......Scared to apply the CF skin.
yes, this phone has a lot curve, Even Zagg was hard to put on the phone. but I manage to get zagg stick in to the phone now.
If it doesn't work, I can send it back for replacement. I hope you guy can send your Phantom skinz back too if you mess it up.

haha, i guess i'm daring... i stuck the skin on first and lit the actual CF areas. just don't light it for too long or you can damage something, just a split second or a few passes. you will find some of the skin doesn't stick too well if it is cold out so you will have to heat it. the instructions say use a blow dryer but i used a lighter instead.
I did it! And actually I am very impressed with my results on CF skin! Was easy and trick with the lighter worked fantastic! Very pleased! Looks and feels great!
Thank you guyz!
Looks nice! I would warn people you will feel the edges of the skin when you hold the phone. I used that on an iPhone and removed it after getting tired of feeling the edges of the skin.

thats kinda how it works out... i work at radioshack and im the one resident geek... i root all the phones, hack wii's, xbox, ps3... one of the guys is really good at applying screen protectors and such. when mine gets here i'll take it to him and have him put it on... then im sure we'll go use that lighter for something else...

Neah, I barely feel anything. It really depends, I guess, on the shape of the phone. Maybe iPhone is not well suited for this, but mine feels smooth and nice.
I warmed up really well the edges with the lighter when I applied the skin, so it set tight.

Just a note for others: the screen protector will show artifacts and other random blobs that may look like smudges when its fresh. This should go away within 48 hours as it completely dries. Just relax and be patient, the world wasn't built in a day.
AFAIK all of these types of protectors (zagg, bse, ps)recommend putting the phone down for 24hrs after application.... to ensure it sticks, and to allow the solution to dry

As soon as you squeeze out most of the water it will work fine for usage. At least with the phantom skinz.

I put these pieces together to make a sweet Wii Controller to go. It gets a little heavy, but it's balanced well. Check it out.

That was a pretty slick idea man! I may have to build my own rig for myself now. Thanks for the idea, props!

It was really easy too. The only hard part was super gluing everything together.
Ok, so you have inspired me, I went out n bought the classic pro controller, and I LOVE your idea of the slide in behind holster for the motion controller, I might have to build up something similar, but without the part for the phone itself.
Im gonna keep looking to see if there is something for the pro controller and post back.
Thanks for the idea!
Simply amazing. This looks like a great portable solution.
Looks awesome, but has to weigh a ton! I can see getting fatigued pretty quickly if you're not resting the controller on something while playing.

Question for you, like the commenter on your video asked, how did you get that effect when turning off the phone? (the old tube-tv style scrunch and power-off)

Use a Gingerbread-based ROM (he mentions he is using Ultimate Droid 3.1).

Hey guys,
So a week ago i was planning on painting my car mirrors..but I didnt know if i was gonna like it...so I was looking for a cheaper solution...
On diferent car forums I found about this PLASTIDIP thing...so I went to hom depot and for 5 bucks picked me a can
Plastipid is actually like rubberising a surface...best part ITS NOT PERMANENT!!! so if i ever get bored i can remove it like removing glue from your hand
I decded to expand the use of it to my case..and man it looks AWESOME!..no more sliding ..super grippy and if u need a retouch just simply spray another coat
not sure how long it ll last but with a can u can do like 30 cases.. Enjoy!
This works also on phones as well ..BUT be very careful blocking everything from the front part..I would only do the back cover of it if anything
PD im not responsible if you mess up your phone/case
Here some people applied that to their winter wheel and it lasted the whole winter and it's still perfect so I wouldn't be afraid on the case.
That's a great idea, I might do that.

so far im super digging it..my car mirrors look awesome...we ll see how long it lasts...but again what i like the most is if i say i want back my glossiness i just peel it off
it takes a total of like 1.5 hrs with the waiting time
Ill have to wait a little before i can try that.
Here we only have the standard color like black, blue, red and clear. And its expensive 15-20$ per can. Ill have to buy some from US

Reporting back..its been a couple days I'm finally fully used to the texture ..its still holding nice
Did a small drop test .no scratches on the case and it did a different sound when hitting the ground (due the rubberized texture )
I left the phone on my car by accident at 85 degrees here in Vegas...came back and phone was cool ..so the thingy helped with heat absorption ..

That is awesome. Looks like it fits the phone great. I want to build a QI charger where it has a bottom ledge and sides so it is a perfect fit and aligned every time.
While I like the Lego look, you could even paint it a solid color.
