Hey Guys, I saw a few of you made some custom cases in the other thread, so I thought I'd get a couple and review em. I thought the process was pretty cool and has a lot of possibilities. Check it out, and if any of you already have a Custom case Post some Pics! would love to see what ya got!
http://www.teamvenum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2024&p=8088#p8088
I can try to take some more pics of certain angles if need be, think it turned out great!
Gonna take some pics tonight if I can get around to it, think its holding up well after ~1 week of use. They're high gloss so was concerned about the image, but think its done well
Gonna be planning the case giveaway today hopefully. Plan on getting something up for the weekend.
Gonna be a Custom Team Venum Tough Case to give away, details upcoming. And a few pics are in the review, more of those upcoming too

Then to be honest you should start a thread for that, this is concerning Case-Mate Custom Cases and shouldn't be turned into something else (plugs etc)

If you want to pimp your product, do it in your own thread. You have 3 posts in other product threads. In each you're promoting your own product.
Just about the fastest way to get your posts deleted frankly.
Let your stuff stand on it's own feet, not on someone else's.
is there no way to change the color of the TPU portion?
is there a way to order just the custom part and save some cash (I want to order a couple different designed but $50 a pop is a bit steep if you want more than just one

There are some links/codes to save some money on the cases, but I am not sure about ordering pieces separately. I would assume not, but not sure
yep on your page found the 30% link. that made ALL the difference $35 is very doable and free shipping too.
my Neytiri case is ordered will do a rocket one later wish i could change the TPU color I saw orange on one of them and would really love orange tpu or bright blue just hate black. so boring
how did you get a red inner? or does it come with multiple inners?

A while back I bought the pink and red one to use the red inner, they were having a similar promotion so I said what the hey and went for it

PROJECT FINISHED!
So after another full day of measurements and trial-n-error ... I finally got a finished product, well a few actually ... well a finished product with a few options lol.
Right now I'm rocking the Black skin on my Gear Gen.1 and it looks awesome! SO clean and sleek looking with just enough chrome to set it off with an expensive luxury look, but is now fully protected on all of its sensitive spots. The clasp protector was originally made because as a graphic designer, my wrist settled and was banged on a desk basically 8 hours a day, and that was my cure to keep my watch looking brand new. The full face idea came just for the option to change the color of my watch, the stainless steel looks great and all, but gets played out and sometimes just looks too much ... But I dealt with it, not really having any time to sit and work the schematics for a full face protector. Then it got to the point where I had to hang a towel over the hand railing of the treadmill because every once in a while I would accidently bang my watch off of it while doing my cardio at the gym, luckily the steel has held up well and I've always had one of my screen protectors on it, so it hasn't really been a big deal.
Now with a finished product in hand and on my wrist, I'm just kind of pissed I "back burnered" this project for so long! lol. As I stated before, I know everyone has kind of moved on to the new Gear 2 and the Gear 1 is kind of old news, But I still sell GG1 Screen & Clasp Protectors on a daily basis so I know there's still somewhat of a market for stuff like this. Regardless, I'll have my hands on a GG2 here soon to play around with and while doing so I will have a chance to get the measurements for this type of product for the new Gear 2 and possibly Gear Fit, neither have a speaker in the clasp, But I know the Gear 2 has a stainless steel clasp, and speaker or not, that thing is getting banged up ugly from daily use. So all the GG2 people, stay tuned because that project is just around the corner.
Since I originally dropped the GG1 Screen & Clasp Protectors at the end of last year I've seen a boom in people selling products like it on web-stores and places like eBay & Amazon, I'm not saying in anyway that I invented these, But when I made them, the Gear was fresh on the shelves and I couldn't find anything to protect the exposed/sensitive parts of my $300 investment, and once sold to the general public they really took off! and I thank the people here at XDA especially for being my "Beta Testers" in a way and hopefully the people who bought them here were completely satisfied! It was extremely shocking that something I made for fun/necessity turned into an actual marketable successful product and doing it literally as a one man team was a bit much at times, but awesome! ANYWAYS! the difference between what is currently being offered when it comes to full face protectors for the GG1 and what I was able to put together is, my skin covers the ENTIRE front of the gear, As far as I've seen on the net, they only cover the top and bottom portion of the Gears stainless steel face (If I am missing any out there by all means piss on my parade lol) mine are designed to cover the entire front for full protection as well as the option to change the look of the Gear all together. Pretty cool I think.
With all this being said, the only real challenge I faced upon finishing the design was getting the skin onto the Gear and on correctly, the material used for the skin is very flimsy and hard to maneuver, kind of like putting a screen protector on a phone, but worse! lol.
BUT! within a few minutes I had a solution, which was actually a perfect solution. Not only did it do the trick of being able to easily handle the material while putting the face protector on, it made it extremely easy to keep the skin perfectly straight and allow the installer to line everything up perfect for a perfect hassle-free installation (when done correctly) so I am pretty excited about it, and when these become available to the public (Very Soon!) that installation material will be sold with the protectors.
I've also decided to scratch selling the Clasp Protector by itself now that the Face Protector is done and they will be sold as a set, overall less confusing for the customer and myself when it comes to filling an order and just makes more sense. But now that I have a few color options available (more coming very soon!) I think I would be willing to mix and match colors/patterns with the Face & Clasp Protectors if anyone asked.
On that note as you will see in the pictures I currently have 4 color options available:
- BLACK (Jet-Black)
- PURPLE (Deeper Purple, Almost Plum)
- GRAY (Storm Cloud Gray, somewhat close to the gray color offered by Samsung on the Gear 1)
- GREEN (Darker, sort-of hunter Green)
COLORS/PATTERNS I PLAN TO HAVE VERY SOON:
The original Chrome/Steel color I offered with the GG1 Clasp Protectors which seamlessly matched the stainless on the GG1.
- Red
- Yellow
- Blue
- White
- Brown
- Orange
- Carbon Fiber
- Leopard/Zebra Print
And any other Miscellaneous colors/patterns I can get my hands on, just to offer a wide variety and the buyer the option to uniquely express themselves.
And now for the new pictures (Better detail and well-lit pictures to come):
SAME ORIGINAL CLASP PROTECTOR JUST MATCHED WITH FACE SKIN.
And just to show off a little bit of the design aspect of what goes into designing something like this:
Let me know what you think! I cant tell you how happy I am with the final product, it looks awesome in person, these pictures show a great representation, but don't do the final product justice compared to in person, the quality and fit make it look like theres no decal at all, looks like the watch came this way! Very happy!
And again, any and all input appreciated!
Thanks!

ORIGINAL POST:
Hey Guys, I know in my last post on the "Galaxy Gear Clasp Protector Thread" that I said I kind of gave up on further development for the Skin Protectors for the Gen. 1 Gear ... Well I kind of got a second wind on it today and actually sat down and got to work on it, and its a pretty big undertaking as expected, way more variables involved in the front of the Gear than on the clasp ... But I got pretty far on development today and got a few pictures of the first mock up.
They are in Black, That's the original color that I wanted to do all this in to give the watch more of a subtle/played-down look, in my opinion the way Samsung should have originally done it or at least offered the option instead of all the chrome, and I believe the Gear 2 Neo has the full black-out look.
Obviously once this is fully finished, the color and pattern options are endless. One problem I came across while putting this together was covering the side chrome of the watch face (See pictures) which isn't a huge issue to me, gives the watch a little bling and keeps a little bit of the luxury look, this my no be everyone's cup-o-tea, and I may try and play around with a side flap option, problem is, just like the clasp protectors, this can only be able to be achieved with fold cuts. And obviously the Clasp Protector will stay the same because I think I got the best result I can on those, and with any other color besides the original chrome I offered, you can see the Protector is present because of the cut outs and the unprotected chrome areas of the clasp.
Either way, the progress I've made today alone are pretty substantial in my opinion and think I'll have a solid product ready for the public by the weekend. I know the Gear 2 is out and has taken off in popularity, But I plan to stick with my Gen.1 until it dies or they release one that blows my mind, and I can only assume there are still people who feel the same, so hopefully all of this work wont be for nothing, but we'll see.
So without further ado, check the pics and let know what you think ... any and all input is appreciated! Is this something you would think about picking up? any aesthetic adds or changes you'd like to see? again any and all input helps.
Il buy one, looks pretty awesome if i might say so.

I cant tell you how happy I am with the final product, it looks awesome in person, these pictures show a great representation, but don't do the final product justice compared to in person, the quality and fit make it look like theres no decal at all, looks like the watch came this way! Very happy!
And again, any and all input appreciated!
Thanks!
Do you will send the black one for Gear 2 neo to Germany?
Kinda late, but the links are dead... Are these still available?

I have Gear 2 neo, to bad it's to late for this.
Found this strange but interesting alternate Khaki color on eBay. No NFC Chip!

Anyone find any other colors?
EDIT: Gray!? Looks like puke green.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Gray-housing-Battery-Door-Back-case-For-LG-G4-/181828422444
The first one looks like the color of my old plastic army men....
The second one looks like the color of an old army tent or fatigues....
The price is ok but I wouldn't want one but that is just my personal preference, someone might really dig it.
I was thinking about Red Color, but when I read " Oh So Orange " It reminds me of my old Nexus 5. So I'm going with the Panda
I'm actually considering the white this time. I dig the white with the black frame a lot.
Google really needs to get some better color options though. The new iPhone pro colors are awesome. I'd love that dark green on a pixel!
Im grabbing the orange. Looking to have a device that really stands out, without needing skins or cases.

Same here. I've had black my last two phones and it's getting boring. Orange with a clear plastic back case will look good.

Orange is nice, but I like the white one more.
White looks great but that orange button annoys me for whatever reason. I will probably get the black and get a skin. I like the white button.

Yep, orange XL with clear case. It seems relevant but I'm not sure why: On my current white 3AXL in a clear case no one has ever commented on the white phone but a couple have noticed the green button. The button color doesn't ping on my radar at all.
Going with panda for a change.
Orange. Starting with the Google "Coral" cloth case . .but when the good clear cases start dropping, I will get one!
When the conference started I was puzzled between pandas and orange but in the end I decided to go with orange with clear case from minimalcase. I hope the orange look nice on the hand

I stuck with black this time. The orange is really nice but I know in the end I'll wish I went with black. I got a used panda last year but ended up selling it for a black one.

Most definitely but the orange is pretty sweet. I can always skin it if I get bored of black.
Had to go with white. Reminded me of my Nexus 5.
Orange and probably put a black case on it ?

I'm sure quite a few people will probably do that. Just purchasing the orange color, simply because it's a limited edition. If you grow to like the orange, you can always remove the case at a later time. But you can't go back later and purchase the orange one
I ordered the white XL
i ordered white XL .. orange is not available in Germany

Spigen Crystal Clear on Amazon is available - Just under $10 - I usually get the Spigen Crystal or the Ringke Crystal Fusion - (which isn't out yet)
There are not a huge number of cases out yet, but there are some decent ones.
