How long did it take you to make and how much? If you dont mind
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

Took me about an hour to think it up and complete.
Didn't cost me anything really. I had all the materials left over from old projects and freebies.

Oh nice, well cool it does the job and cf always looks good i think
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

Yeah I'm really happy with it. It's a lot more stable than I was expecting.
The front "cradle" part has metal inside the CF so you can form it to perfectly fit your phone.

Would you ever consider making me one to sell?

Yeah I could probably do that, I'd have to check to see if I have another good piece of carbon for it though

I was just wondering, what would be the price if you were to sell one? Or maybe just the cost of goods needed to make that (mainly the carbon fiber).
Sent from my Droid Incredible running Myn's Warm Two Point Two RLS5.3.

Well I'm using a special CF that already has the resin sort of soaked in already so the weave doesn't come apart. I haven't seen this online anywhere so I'm not sure how much it costs.
If I were to sell one, maybe around 20 bucks shipped?

Its nice but its to general for me. But its nice that its so general you can probably use it for your next phone.
Good job.
I made a car nav mount that also acts as a pivoting desk stand. It's nice when you have it mounted in the car you can take stable video while driving without having to hold the phone.

Wow thats nice

Add me to the list if you decide to sell a few of these, I'd buy one for 20!

Very cool. I have always wanted to do some work with Carbon Fiber. I have heard mixed reviews on its difficulty factor. I think seeing this gives me more confidence to try it myself.. Thanks for posting pics!

Vinyle skins for HD2

hey there friends,
I've been thinking of buying an HD2 for my wife as well. with scratching our names on the back out of consideration, we were thinking of getting a vinyl skin for our HD2s in order to make distinguishing between our phones ..
i just wanted to know if anybody here has been using gelaskins vinyl..http://www.gelaskins.com/catalog.php?DeviceID=103&CategoryID=56
or any other option..
Is it possible to open your cellphone with that on?
Thanks for the Info..!!!

You will probably never get a perfect fit with these. Its a good idea, but it will never look as good as the pics on the site. Just buy one of those tight fitting cases in different colors.
I have tried these with other phones before, the thing is they look nice when new but it only takes 1-2 months before the colors fade away and the corners to peel off. imho they are not worth 15-20$.

i've used decalgirl skin's vinyl for my PS3.. perfect fit n easy application/re-application. no fading till date(its abt 2 years old) but as phone will be kept on its back n keep rubbing the pouch while inserting taking out of it.. the fading might occur.

could not find a substiture for the customs ones. it's a bit more than the ones you can get off ebay. will defo review it once I get it. i live in aus so might be a week before I get it.
Zaggskins didn't impress as much as gelaskins..
but still waiting for ur review..

most of these places if you contact them through email they will do a design of your choice. send them a picture of what you would like and they will send back a image of what it will look like. im new to streak so not yet bothered getting one from istyles but when i had a galaxy s i went with diabloskinz and he personalised mine with my name and the image i wanted for no extra cost. but he doesnt do streak
lmao, Yeah these are nice. Got mine from http://www.decalgirl.com tho.
If you take your time you can get a perfect fit. The material is a little stretchy so you can get it to cover every little corner and edge if you take your time.
I've had the old school Composition Notebook style skin for awhile now. Matte finish.
Love it. When I'm not using the nc i have it in its case flipped around and people actually think it is one of the old notepads. hahaha

go to skinit.com. much better designs, awesome quality, more expensive than istyles, but hey, quality comes at a price.

From a precursory Googling, it appears to be those new "electronic cigarette" things. I must admit I find them intriguing, but then I roll a fag and forget about them.

Fair play mate. If it stops you smoking and is better for you then who could disagree with that! Since you're in the know, how is it compared to a real cigarette, in both experience and health issues?

The only health defecit you get is the irritation from the nicotine but even then its a slight tightening like when you smoke a real cig too quick or in the morning. All the crap has lifted from me lungs. I feel so much better for it.
The reason I stopped was because I got sick of stinking like a fireplace and sick of the taste. Now I can have it how I like AND save 2-3 thousand a year by not buying the tax monster.
Seriously though, I thought it was more widespread than this... Guess no-one else has caught onto the scamming t**ts in power....
I prefer snus. Much better than sigarettes, but i don't know if it's legal in the UK.

Their recent 2 S3 cases:

And please, let's not turn this into a flame war over the pricing of some of their stuff. I for one would gladly pay 100+ for a Sector 5 version of the case for my Note 2 :victory::victory::victory:
Looks like some awesome design! I don't pay too much attention to price as long as it matches the quality.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Except Sector 5 versions probably going to cost $200... Awesome cases, but damn expensive
I for one would LOVE IT if element would start making cases for the Note2. I have been a fan of their stuff for a very long time.

I really hope they do, i've been looking for awhile and haven't found one i like
I thought the Eclipse case with the sound redirecting was ingenious but I'm not sure if that added any bulk to the case. Would be cool to have on our N2's as well though :good::fingers-crossed:
They would sell a lot of cases for our phone; people with the best phone, will pay up for top of the line products like this..
I'll be keeping an eye on this but no way in hell I'm going to pay over 100 for a case =O must be made of gold!!!!
I would be game for one of these, regardless of the price is the designs turn out as good as the S3.
Always looking for nice unique cases, ones that aren't at your local mall case vendor.
+1 for element, someone send them a link to this thread.
I paid £500 for my phone, I am not going to baulk at paying $100 for a case, I've got a cheap one at the moment to protect it while I look out for a quality case
Anyone have an update on this? I'd love to have one of their cases. I remember their original iphone cases and they were crazy back then too with a see through magnetic plastic screen cover. Coolest case ever.

Those cases are awesome, and I'd definitely buy one if they made it for our phone. That said, I doubt they'll make one now, as we're already 3 months past launch. I'm sure they'll jump on the s4 though.

Acrylic dock for nexus 10 and pogo cable

Hello,
After a long search on the internet to find a dock for my nexus 10 and my pogo cable, I decided to make my own.
I started by making some prototypes made with a sheet of depron and then I made my first with acrylic.
I am very happy to show you.

Wow this is sleek looking and bad ass. I actually like the clear look better than the white but both look good. How did you cut the plastic so nice? Water jet?
Great job

Thanks for your interest. Yes you can, the cable still removable.
I hope you would post those internationally if you do make a few for sale cos I would love one too
Or you could be a true hero and post up the design to the forum ofc...
Very very nice... That looks really awesome....
I really think you are on to something here. I would absolutely be interested in one if you decide to produce.
I'm very interested too (I'm in Australia). I would think you could do very well selling them through Ebay or Amazon if you can produce them in quantity. :good:
Many thanks for your enthusiasm.
Simple, nice looking and functional. Is it "unmountable"? I mean, you get the pieces and put it togheter, and you can undo it? I would also be interested in this thing (15€ + shipping looks like a good price to me).
Just for help, you can ask some labs to produce this for you if you can model pieces in AutoCAD. I have seen them use the same machine they use with waveguides and PCBs, Maybe you can find some company that accepts this kind of works in metacrilate (not sure if correct word) or PCB material.
Good Luck!
I'm also very interested in the clear dock. Put it up on eBay or Etsy and I'll get in line
I work on it to improve and I will inform you soon.
Looks great
Let me know if you are making these are kits or maybe you should sell them on e-bay look great! I'd like to get one.
