Just ordered some dbrand skins and according to their how to video, the final step is to use a hair dryer to kinda 'seal' it. My question, how long should I blast the skin with a hair dryer? Reason I'm asking is because I've read somewhere that touch screen issues are caused by excessive heat so I'm a little skeptical in blowing hot air into it.
Hmm, I wonder if a heat gun would work or that is too hot? Just found out that our hair dryer is dead now.
I'm guessing anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes depending on hair dryer. Just keep at it till its warm on the back, like you've been gaming for a while and it should be good
OK, thanks man!!!
I had a skin on previously and I just replaced it with another one two days ago. you do NOT need to do it for long. only about 10/15 seconds. You'll see the skin sort of bends and bonds onto the skin. you really dont need to do it for long. do that while youre putting it on. then after it's fully applied, just blow over the entire back for about 20 seconds.
heres a pic of my skin btw

Thanks nuwan! Your skin looks really good btw!
I concur with @nuwan32 . About 10-15 seconds seem about right. The skin actually becomes softer and more malleable and binds securely to the back by then. Here is mine btw.

Has anyone here noticed a slight hump on the rear case it location is central on the spine about 2 thirds of the way down. It is a above a recess on the inside of the case which accommodates the plastic retaining lug for the SIM card. Its very minor, I only noticed it when I was rubbing my finger over the case, I just wanted to check with other people to eliminate the possibility its a defect on mine.
Other than this its the best smart-phone I have ever used, well worth the wait as I am a Handtec customer.
Thanks for checking
Have it too, but it is really difficult to spot.
I cannot see it with my eyes, basically only feel and you have to be very careful to notice it even then.
I can't feel or see this if it is there.
only found it because you made me search for it
wish i didnt read this thread. now im going to look for it, find it, and be displeased by it.
Not on mine...
i noticed it the other day as well
it is there but I don`t care.

neither do I, as other people have said it very very minor.
It's a great handset I'm very happy with it and will be more happy when the official screen protectors are available.
if it wasn't there the cover would have to be a couple of mm thicker to accommodate the recess on the inside to clear the plastic lug. I think, on reflection, that this was a good idea on HTCs part.

Maybe you have particularly fat SIM cards?

Thought you guys might be interested...
Any videos or pictures of these used on the device? Would love to get one but I have no idea how it looks/what thickness it adds, etc.
Thanks for the links!
I think it will be bad for our gps
Would like to hear from someone who has already purchased one of these before i get one,look nice though.
expensive
check dealextreme/focalprice.com that you probably get lower prices
search for i9100, instead of galaxy s II

I would strongly recommend to think about how hot our phone is in games like Asphalt 6 and imagine how hot it will be if u use metal cover. Don't get you fingers burned.

Now, you can actually literally "feel" the engine moving in Asphalt 6, or more like burning

I went to pull my inc2 out my pocket about an hour ago, only to drop it onto a tile floor, shattering the digitizer. The device doesn't have insurance, so I figured I'll replace the digitizer myself. Has anyone had to do this before? Are there any good guides, as well as a quality digitizer online? I guess it's back to the eris for a while....
Sorry to hear about your phone :/ ...
Here is a guide i found on how to change the digitizer.. click here

Did this a while back. Used the YouTube guide. Bought a digitizer off Ebay which worked great. be aware that if shipping from China it's gonna take longer (duh)
If you have any questions don't be afraid to ask.
The process up to heating and removing the digitizer/lcd is cake. The hearing and removing the digitizer and especially lcd is tough and scary. Take your time, the glue is really strong. I used a heat gun but I think a hair dryer might work better since it doesn't get it hot as quick.. Also make sure no dust is under the digitizer after you apply it and don't use any liquid glue/silicone to glue down the lcd/digitizer.
Oh I forgot, when removing the digitizer, be mindful of the lights that light up the bottom buttons they tend to stick to the digitizer so careful that you don't bend/break them. Other than that you should be ok

I have something like that in my car, however I always have a plastic case on and it sticks on there no problem, issues with this pad is that over time dust will gather and you will have to wash it, but when you do it becomes sticky again.
I don't know if I can trust this pad to hold my phone well. What if I suddenly hit the brakes hard and the device falls on its face and breaks or like right out of the window? Maybe I am just too paranoid. Ha ha!
i found mine lost stick way too quick, too much hassle to repeatedly wash. I turfed it.
I think this pads have magnetic + rubber coating so that it catch phones,I have read in the comments that phones are like glued to the pad!
I hope so because our Lebanese roads are very bumpy

If you can snag some, look into Pugoo. Fully washable, quite strong, and easy to remove.
I something similar to this for my S3 and it worked very well in keeping it in place; however, when I switched to my HTC One it no longer sticks well at all, probably because of the aluminum casing. I always use my phone without a case and was never worried about my S3 unsticking, but I wouldn't use it with my HTC One unless it was in a plastic case.
Been using this case for awhile now.. Does add some bulk but protection is almost up there with otterbox.. This thing even has dust filters over the speakers.
How well does it protect the phone? Well, I finally found out. I have had a few drops from leaving the phone in my lap and jumping out of the car and what not. But today was the one.. It happened so fast.. My girl seen me in the parking lot and I was on the phone and she was gonna run up behind me and surprise me.. Well, she did.. Knocking... Catapulted my damn phone through the air.. It was now all in slow mo.... I watched as it twisted through the air and landed hard on the top left corner and the back up it went bouncing like a damn 350 dollar ball across the parking lot and the sliding to a stand still face down.
I just knew that it had cracked the screen but I was surprised that there was not a mark on it but hit hard enough to knock the back plate loose and a nice dent in the hard plastic part of the case.
If you are looking for a good case for your nexus 5.. Do you self a solid and get this case.:silly:

Looks really cool!!
I was really considering this case for quite a while but because the n5 is a large phone, the added bulk is not the best thing for people with smaller hands as far as I know.
Do you have any comparisons between the bulk added by the aegis and other cases as to give people an idea of the size?
Thanks
