Sorry for the bad pictures - Hopefully you can get an idea of what I am talking about - Around one edge of the power button, the finish either looks "unfinished" or slightly "peeling off" my 1 day old phone...Probably just me being super anal but wanted your opinions. Thanks
Maybe some protective foil, I remember it took months before someone discovered the home button on the sgs2 had foil on it and we could peel it off.
Wow what a ugly case

So I got my Nexus 7 and was excited to see it up close and in my hands. Once I received it I fell in love with its design and feel. But one thing was missing on the back. The back was just to plain and boring for me. Google could have at least colored in the Nexus logo to spice things up. So instead I went ahead and did my own coloring on the back of my Nexus 7. See the pictures below. If you guys want I can make a tutorial on how I did it and what I used. Thanks! :laugh:
Don't see.

What do you mean?
That's pretty smart, I like it. It would have been a nice idea to have a line of coloured backs ready to upsell on eager new owners, but I suppose they don't want people jimmying off the backs to replace them
BTW, yeah, I'd like to know what sort of paint you used, acrylic?
It looks good. I'm holding out for the custom backs sure to come.

Very cool! How did you do it?
Very cool paint job. I dont have one yet but I assume that the logos is carved in the back and you just used some paint to paint in the spots?
Very cool paint job! I'd like to try this as well

Looks pretty sweet... If I were to do it I'd only do the Nexus.
But yeah, what did you use and you'll have to update on if it holds up.
Cool... Mine will be in a slim case soon, but I could get my Daughter to do that (Graphic artist with all the paints and tools).

I used Elmers Painters Neon Pack from Amazon. I bought them just to try this out. I wouldn't really recommend these because the tip is to big to get the paint into the engraving and it took me awhile to clean it up. And it doesn't seem like the paint would really hold up that long. Im going to try to take out all the paint and re-do the color with some better markers.
This is really cool! Definitely makes the back look much more enticing and, I think Google and Asus should've designed something like this to begin with.
I'll be trying this out for sure! Nice work!

That looks pretty cool. Although people, be careful if you want to try paint on your backing, it might not be very easy to find a new one if you screw up. It seems to have the NFC antenna on it as mentioned on this xda unboxing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=iNWRto0Vf0M#t=316s

I've been waiting for this to turn up for ages and I finally got my hands on the Otterbox Defender last night. It really does add some weight and bulk to the phone but of course offers the protection a lot of people are looking for. I personally like the look of the grey case but the wait for that is still about a month I believe.

Good review but the Defender is way to bulky for me and the screen cover has too much glare. Which is why I want the Commuter, any idea when you can review it?

I personally prefer the commuter, I will be reviewing it as soon as it arrives. I didn't expect to the defender till mid December so I can't say when I'll get my commuter unfortunately.
With a case like the Defender I would probably drop my phone on purpose just so I can feel good about walking around with a case that big.

I did it all the time with my iPhone 4. Lol. I'd drop it on the concrete floor at work from eye level (I'm 6'4" ) because people wouldn't believe the case was that good, then THEY were the ones that would freak when I let it go haha

Yeah some of the Youtube videos of drop tests are scary to watch the first time, proves the case does it job though I guess.
I have been tempted to do my own drop tests on video but at the same time I'm too scared it will break lol

Sent from my aluminum T.A.R.D.I.S!
Sounds cool and would no doubt look awesome. Personally I would be more concerned with how it may affect phone performance. Meaning, it could in fact decrease call quality etc., by further blocking radio signals. Also, the metal has been said to be taking on a heat synch type role to disperse heat etc.
I guess if the chemical used can disperse heat and not block radio signals then no problem....:laugh:

I agree with the rest if them... You suck for starting this thread! In all honesty I was previously thinking about the ball burnished laquered look oh this.. but sandpaper anywhere near this piece scares the hell out of me.
So I have discovered that the finish is anodized aluminum. Which for the most part can't be polished without taking off the anodizing.
If I find another camera I will post a pic.
So did anyone polish their HTC One? I searched for pics but couldn't find any.
Here is the real 24k gold one:

personal preference but that THING looks really ugly. :cyclops:
Oh yeah but this is a useful thing in some occasions and cheap lol
that thing is funny.
I don't know how the sound compares, but cheap trick you can try is put the GN2 is a cup. One time my Big Jam Box was dead, and did the cup trick. The only cup I found around that could fit the GN2 was a measuring cup. It amplified the sound well enough for the moment.
Here's one. Seems too expensive, though.
