the project took 3 days. im pretty happy how it came out although im still waiting for the paint to fully dry.
i sanded the phone down
painted using krylon fusion white satin
dried 24hrs
clearcoat paint
dried another 24 hrs
i used a xacto knife to mask the parts i was not going to paint
i was going to leave the buttons unpainted. its pretty easy just get a pieace of painters tape and stick it on then cut along the grooves. i had done this before when i first had painted the phone black but that did not work out. IF you dont sand your phone it will peel off. next week when the paint has dried fully im going to use the knife to cut out the excess paint along the small areas.
tips
make sure you cover the screen before you begin sanding.
you should probably not do too many coats unless you sand the phone down a lot, one coat for paint and clearcoat is enough, you dont want the phone looking bloated.you should probably tape off the buttons because when you press them the corners wont chip. use a knife to cut into the grooves.just stick a piece of tape on the speaker whole and stuff it.i will be cutting out the bluetooth light and the charge light in as soon as it dries although they shine through just fine. i also had sanded down that rubber piece on the back because it kept getting lost. for best results make sure you let phone dry alot 4 days later and the paint can still ding easily but it does not chip which is good. ill keep you guys updated.

my cat took my rubber piece on the back...... darn cat

nnnnniiiiiiccccccceeeeeeeeee . Much better than this one, but I salute to his creativity and courage. Although he seems to be selling off his phone (in whole or parts).
can we have a close up look at your buttons? and how does the keyboard looks like,

looks sweet mate...
what is the today theme you used in the bottom right pic of the first post?
the vista looking one... is that a wisbar jobby?

yep
wisbar and wisbar desktop theme really nice but a lil too much on my not so fast 8125.its called VistaBetaTWO.

One of the coolest paintjobs yet As soon as I get a new device I'll start trying these things out myself
Great Job!

Wow... is it me? What paint job are youse people talking about?

I was merely referring to all the different variations of the wizard... The two mentioned in this thread is as far as I know the only two paintjobs that are "homemade"

It would be great to see a close-up of the paint quality on your Wizard100... I wasn't too big of a fan of the other guy's Wizard200's paint quality.

niceeee... but im not dat daring enough to cover the buttons.. here is the pic of mine.. i did black before but didnt look dat great hence white.. hope you like it.. takes ages to do it but its worth it..

would fit to an iPod, wouldnt it?

This is really sick lookin'
Props.

wow, looks sweet...
i would have kept the directional pad and the such silver though...

I can understand that... It's just that I can't seem to "see" the paint job in question... No pics for me.

Interesting mod.. or rather decoration
While browsing through eBay (yeah, I have no life), I saw this 'mod' on a Wizard. I'm not particularly fond of the way the front was decorated, but the back was impressive. It is up for sale at eBay. Wonder if she (I presume) is a member here.

Black Wizard
Everyone Seems to be saying that they did theirs in Black then white.
Honestly i don't think i'll ever change mine now, i LOVE it in black.
I used Krylon Fusion Black, and Their Clear Coat.

I used Krylon Fusion Black, and Their Clear Coat.
The process;
Tap everything that you don't want painted, if you're not disassembling.
Sand sand sand sand.
You have to sand, a lot and it's very meticulous.
I used a rough grain, to give it a rough texture, and used satin paint to help
Painted that black, let it cook in the FL sun for 3 hours.
Then did 5 coats of the clear coat, It caused the black to turn alittle grayish but it's not bad.

Nicely done! I like it a lot.

Glossy or Matt Back Cover

I noticed that earlier preview and beta versions of the HTC Kaiser had glossy black back battery cover. More recent versions however have matt black cover. It looks like that HTC will ship the Kaiser with the more recent matt cover.
Do you think we will be able to get the glossy covers from somewhere else ?
Yes I know that the matt is less slippery, and the glossy black is like a fingerprint magnet. But since I am a current owner of a black Trinity, I can tell you that the glossy black looks very classy. It also matches the glossy black front borders of the Kaiser.
I hope we can have a glossy black back cover as an accessory that we can buy separately.

Hi
The were gloss but due to feedback regarding how quickly a glossy back gets covered in finger prints they will ship with matt back covers.
All the latest images show matt black.
Regards
Phil

I know, I could figure out that HTC decided to go with the matt cover because of the fingerprints issue, but would still like to be able to buy the glossy one separately. Maybe a third-party will make it available.

If it's just a cover, you might be able to get a replacement one, like the Nokia fascias.
I personally prefer the look of the matt one, but that's just me...

Well, I haven't tried the matt finish yet, because I don't have the phone yet obviously, but it seems to me that the matt finish will scratch very easily and will start to look old very quick.
The glossy black cover I have on my Trinity still looks good after 8 months of heavy use.

I prefer the Matt finish over the glossy one. Tried playing around with a black Trinity for a while and the back cover had my finger prints all over it.

who's Matt?
its matte.
I like the matte cover. I actually hope its more of a rubberized back to be tactile to a flat dashboard surface when driving.

From bad to worse...
The glossy shows finger prints and the matted shows greasy finger prints.
In either case, you'll constantly wipe the thing on your shirt and pants.
You don't want your hands to be in a bag of chips when the phone rings!

Not in England - home of the English language - it isn't (at least not for a few hundred years): http://snipr.com/1pd9y.
Now, where are all the Kaisers? They must be coming soon... And I don't care how shiny they are as long as one of them has *my* grubby fingerprints all over it as soon as possible!?!

Over @ Modaco Paul has mentioned today might be the day HTC announce the device officially!

HTC have not actually announced the existance of the Kaiser, it doesn't appear on their website.
There was a suggestion that today was the date they would do so, and hopefully trigger some more press releases from carriers.
Having said that it looks like the suggestion was wrong :-(

Can't recall where...possibly video demo from microsoft rep in Germany, but remember comment about rubberized back for grip purposes and the raised GPS/external antenna cover intended to protect rear camera lens while laying on flat surface. Seemed to be very well thought out design.

Tell me this isn't pretty! Gonna be ordering one this week if the TPU one I'm getting via eBay sucks.

wow, that looks nice indeed

@ OP - Nice find! This so far looks the best of the one's available to us right now - sexy! Now I just need to find my user name and pass for eBay/and PP - haven't used eBay in years!

I was hoping this store had its own site outside of eBay, but oh well.

Cheers for the heads up.
I've been looking for a case for 2 weeks now.
I should get it in a few days.
I'll let you guys know what's it like.

SWEET!!!! i l ove it
ordered one already
i got the black one, is the only one that looks good
red is too pinkish, and purple is ... pale, like washed out black
i wanted blue... but they don't have it

Thanks, ordered one w/screen guard for $10. Not bad .

Edit: I ended up ordering the 3-in-1 package deal (same seller). Hopefully the screen protector is decent, but if not - it's still a good deal for the case and car charger ($13.02 USD/includes the S/H).
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3-IN-1-PACK-S...asesPouches&hash=item2c5a2c9348#ht_1919wt_972

That is absolutely beautiful. Keeps up with the sleek design of the phone.
Post pics if you get it OP! Thanks.

Just picked one up too. Looks nice. Good find.

Appreciate that looks the sexiest of all cases I've seen ... but is this TPU? or is it some soft kinda think that get loose after a while?

it's like a hard case, same as the ones available for the SGS
it's more of a Fashion case, than protection case

I prefer soft cases. That does look sleek, though.

Oh. I thought it was a combination of a soft/and hard case? Still ordered it (too sexy not to!), but now I am thinking maybe I should have ordered a soft black gel case too. I'll order a soft case next time.

i ordered the blue case i mentioned on the other topic
i like to switch cases every now and then... it's all fashion though
like changing shoes

anyways i got the CLEAR one... seems really cool!!
but as the guy above me i like changing skins often

Yeah, fantastic find, this is a great looking case!

roshga, I too was thinking of getting the clear one (haven't got my phone yet). The "Google" visible on the rear is kind of cool. The only problem is that in the picture, the transparent plasticky look can be seen on the front edges. The black one's edge blends smoothly into the colour of the phone. Wish they had the Google written on the back ... with no "Samsung"
When someone gets it, can pictures be posted ... actually a short video clip of putting it on would be great as we can get the "feel" of the case

i compared both of the pictures... if you look carefully u can see that the black one seems as plasticky as the clear one, and the "Google" visibility was the reason for going for the clear one
I'm from Israel so the shipping will probably take more time then an order from the UK, if no one will upload any pictures of it till i'll get it I'm gonna post some myself
Good Day all.

Nice, too bad UK only.

Customized Skins

Got bored and went ahead and played around with my plotter. I think I did a pretty good job myself...what do you guys think?
Managed cut-outs for all the ports, including top and bottom. IR still works since it's behind the power button.

Carbon Fiber: Red, Black, Grey, White, Blue, Clear/Glow
Chrome: Red, Blue, Gold, Pink
Coming Soon: Silver Chrome, Dark (black-ish) Chrome

So i've got some black and some red carbon fiber if anyone is interested.

I'm definitely in if the price is right

ooohhh drool. I am interested too:fingers-crossed:

The carbon fiber works great!
And fits under a spigen ultra hybrid too! It just takes some jimmying to keep the side pieces from being pushed off buy the case...
Here's a link to an album with more shots and angles if you're curious.

How much do you think is fair for a custom wrap?
Please let me know if there's interest for these, and I'll go through the work of setting up an Etsy or Ebay listing.

15 would be fair. As long as they last a while and have a standard warranty

Don't see any reason against it...

You ship to germany?

I could probably ship to Germany, I'm not sure how much more it would cost, but I wouldn't be opposed...

is that bomb cut out of the wrap? as in its a separate piece? if so whats the chance of getting a black carbon wrap with the bomb cut out of red carbon....

It is cut out, but out of the same piece, and the whole back is removed at once from the paper backing, with masking tape keeping the designs lined up.
...that doesn't seem impossible, but it will take some extra detail work to get it aligned properly, and more materials.

that could be interesting. i will definitely keep it in mind. I have a plain black carbon from another company right now and am getting bored with it. I might hit you up in a week or two.

Anonymous mask?
I was thinking this cut-out would look cool. Not sure on what sort of texture it would look best though!?
I just googled around, can't post links annoyingly, but if you go to qvectors DOT net SLASH vendeta-mask-vector there is a vector example.
I am thinking of trying to get some splash screens, boot animations and backgrounds too, would go well on a completely stripped down ROM with XPrivacy and AFWall+ installed.

That would look cool. Unless you have a clear back case, I'd probably do it negative. The white parts would be in red, with a thin border around it for the outline. That way there wouldn't be lots of small pieces to get lifted off by routine handling..

Can you like make just like faces symbol? Like just iron man face or transformers face only.? It's cuz I like the silver/metallic.

Good point, awesome idea. I'm going to try and put the phone in the clear baseus skin that people are talking about - seems to be the thinnest out there.
What about a black carbon one, I think that would look sweet, although I am by no means any sort of designer.

Cabernet back cover color

Hello
I'm about to order the cabernet colored back for the Moto g, but I had a question, is the back cover more purple than red? Have you ordered it and what do you think of it?

Please post some will lit photos of the cover when you receive it.

I haven't got a picture but i have been using this back cover for some time.
The cover itself is purple, the pictures on the internet don't do it justice.

I ordered this colour back cover yesterday, will post photos when it arrives.

It's wine collor

I am hoping that it is a plum color (the darker part of the pic above). I just ordered the 16GB with Cabernet and Dark Chrome accent.

Thank you for the photo. Looks more purple in real life.

mine doesn't look quite as purple in person. It might just be the lighting.

not as good as original shell...
I bought the back cover..so called Moto Shell... but there is absolutely no grip on it.. The original shell which comes with the phone is awesome..it feels premium...
Did any one compared the original shell with the one purchased???You can clearly see the difference... or it is only me had the low quality product???

I've seen a few youtube reviews from people with purple backs, and it looks like deep plum purple.
It's the same way with the yellow one, which I got. It looked slighly orange on moto's site, and it's really more like big bird, school bus freaking yellow....not so thrilled about that.

I hate the textured slippery back cover. What the hell was cheaporola thinking?! Why not make custom grippy rubbery matte backs. I don't even care about the stupid chrome accent and different colors. I'd be happy with either all black or white. I'd still put a case on it but at least would be easier to grip without a case. I have a cheap LG phone that has back cover like that.

i have the white front bezel, and i really like it. this is the first white phone i've ever owned...it took a little bit, but it really grew on me.

Yeah, I ordered the cabernet, the moto maker site showed it as almost like a maroon color, looked lovely on the screen with the champagne metallic metal accent plate I picked out....when it arrived in the mail the back plate was PURPLE. The moto maker site should be a little more accurate with how it displays their colors.
