[TEMPLATE] Google Employee Battery Cover

Wasn't sure exactly where to put this, so mods feel free to move this thread if necessary.
I recently saw this thread with custom laser engraved battery covers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474014
I also was aware of the limited edition google employee battery cover. I figured since they are either ridiculously priced/nowhere to be found, that I would just remake the template so that people could get it done if they wanted too. A few of the icons had to be custom made because I could not find them, but everything is very close. Revisions can always be made later (or by you) if you choose.
I'm sure this template could be used for a number of things, so I figured themes & apps was the most appropriate place to post it. I left the edges to the side icons on also, so if you plan on using this for the engraving, make sure you take care of them.

Awesome.
Any ideas where to get it etched?

I'm not sure I'd want this particular battery cover, but does anyone know of a way of getting other battery covers for the LTE Galaxy Nexus? Custom etching would be nice, but mainly I'd be happy with anything that doesn't have the damn Verizon logo.

There are 2 people in the link I posted who have websites/etch custom designs.

SWR50 black band (rubber) is a static machine

Don't know if this is the case for many of you who is using the new smartwatch 3. My black band seems to attract fabric particles and dusts like crazy. The band itself looks really dirty and I had just cleaned it in the morning. The pictures below are taken after wearing the watch for 3 hours. And I am just wearing normal dress shirt. Actually, it doesn't matter what I weared as it was the same yeaterday.
See attached images...

Nice try, <fill in your own blank>... I was out and about over this weekend.
Back to topic, compared to my Gear Fit, I can wear it for 3- 4 days without taking it off and the band never does this. Hopefully, we got our metal band soon.

May be... it is getting cold here in Central PA, USA. About 40°F.

Same problème. My black band is grey.

I will own one soon. It might be a stupid question but if you pour water over it does the dust come out ?

It's quite easy to wipe off with your thumb, but it's there when you use some fibre sweaters...

Yes, the dust and particle are very easily wash off with water. Still rocking mine.

Yep
At least it a color changing band...It's a major dust magnet. I usually run my through the faucet everyday.

Can't really complain. Its winter it's often underneath sweaters/jackets and it's almost pristine. Actually I love how it feels, it's very ergonomic.

why thick? moto 360

thick moto 360 Im waiting moto 360 2

the sughtsgr
I really don't think it's that thick, its about the same as some of the regular watches I've worn to be honest

I want to know why this watch isn't something else other than what it is, I just need to complain so that I can let everyone know that the things I "want" are more awesome that what actually exists, that way I seem smart.

I want my smartwatch to do everything my phone can do. That way, I can leave my phone in my pocket.
Irony. People actually want that. Seriously makes me chuckle every time. Doing so would kinda render that £500+ device in your pocket useless.

If you go to your local department store and look at the many traditional chronograph watches on display, I think you'll discover that the Moto 360 actually isn't that thick.

Guys...please lets not troll this thread....:good:

seems fine to me

What he said, and that's without even bringing Panerai into the mix.

Was just gonna say... Pretty sure my 360 is thinner and lighter than my G-Shock MTG920GA was.

Its thinner and more compact than any other watch over ever owned, so, im not complaining

thinner than the Timex Ironman HRM too. probably about the same weight.

I think this will answer all your questions as to "why so thick?"

I think it is the right amount of thickness. I wouldn't want it any thinner. If the watch could get thinner, then I say add a larger battery and keep the same size.

anyone know when the 360 2 comes out?

quality metal band with fine adjustments?

I don't mind Huaweis metal band, but I'm caught in between because it's a bit too big with a link in but a bit to small if I take it out. I'm looking for a good silver metal band that has a clasp which allows for incremental adjustments, but with the odd 18mm lugs and 22mm band width I haven't found anything. for reference this is what I was using with my zenwatch and I love it http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005X...-12&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=22mm+316l

I got something similar at a local jewelry store. Was only $30.00 (I dont know why so much cheaper than the website) and very similar to what you have... Any 18MM watch band will fit without issues... Will just need to make sure it has the fine adjustments on the clasp. This one does: http://classic.jewelershowcase.com/products/59-0140/?groupId=24256
Edit: Mine might a slightly different model.

thanks, I might have to try some local shops, or even have my existing one modified. that looks like the end is a spring, which in my experience comes with the hollow link bands. my old one was solid 316l with really nice screw link pins, so I'm looking for something comparable.

Yes, you are correct there! I go for the lighter weight band myself. By I would recommend local jeweler so you can see / feel the band. I love mine, dont regret it one bit!

Gold fading

Does anybody else have the issue that the gold ring around the camera is fading a bit? The top is almost like silver now. It is still gold on the sides though.
Curious if others are having this issue aswell.

It' called wear and tear and is dependent on your personal usage. Ever seen a glass with gold decorations? You'll see that they will come off someday so it's likely to happen on all mix 2 camera lenses as well. But to answer your question directly: No, my mix 2 is still good because I leave it in a micro fiber bag and avoid touching the gold ring because your acid mantle of the skin will not doing anything good to that ring.

Of course, I know that. Just did not think it would happen this fast (3 months without case). Was just wandering if others have this as well.
Also did not know this could happen to 18 karat gold as the phone has that advertised.

I have the phone since launch and have used it a long time with a case without camera protection, so it has been on surfaces a lot. It's still 100% gold for me, not a single sign of wear.

Still all gold for me, using it with th stock case.
