Hey guys I haven't posted for awhile. But I bought something cool for my Hermes/8525 from EBAY and I wanted to let you guys know about them. They are made of super-tuff vinyl. Like the stuff cops use for their car graphics. They are shiny and tough. I carry my hermes in my pocket (yeah, yeah I know) but I am a rather large guy. And trust me I don't need anything on my belt to make me bigger in diameter... I have been carrying the Flame skin in my pocket for a few weeks, and it shows no sign of wear. I also bought them for two wizards and my Wife and Daughter have had the same results. They are flawless, no scratches, no fading, and not one loose edge. You'd think that I work for them or something, but I swear I don't. I just wanted to let you guys know that they are cool. And Devon (owner?) is a stand-up guy. The first order I received one wrong. Without question he shipped a replacement that day!
Nice!
I like the way you've changed your today bg to match....smmoooth!

Pretty simple the skin comes as a complete graphic, already cut out, on a supery shiney looking photo paper(ish). He can do custom ones of what ever you want. After I peeled and applied the skin, I scanned and cropped the remainder, saved it as a jpg, and used themegenCE...
I am gonna do a closeup picture of my kid (I think It will be cool) her eyes will be the today theme!
Yeh,
I just bought the same type of skin off Ebay. Just waiting for it to get here!
Whats wrong about carrying it in your pocket ?
I do the same
Ontopic: It looks very nice!! I guess those things arent very expensive arent they?
How's it holding up? I was thinking about doing a custom one, but I'm a little put off by the cast vinyl idea (at least without handling it myself).
Does the vinyl catch dus and start to peel away? That's the problem I have with the skins when I put my phone in the pocket
So I was sitting in the nosebleed section of Chemistry lecture today barely able to make out the slides at the front of the room when I noticed a funny looking belt buckle on my professor. At first, my impression was, "the dude's wearing a freaking open-faced cell phone (looked like a white Sanyo Katana) holder for a belt buckle!?"
Upon closer inspection it was determined that this wasn't the case, but it got me thinking about how this wasn't such a bad idea. Imagine if you wore your phone with the screen of the Hermes exposed outward on a belt buckle. How exciting would it be to send and receive text messages or surf the internet. Put on some tunage with your favorite visualization and hypnotize all the ladies! And keep your phone on vibrate for a little extra attention grabber the next time you receive a call.
I can't wait to pitch this one to my girlfriend...
And if anyone has found anything like this before, please share it for all to know!
Jestful regards,
Lancealot
Edit: I found this link on Gizmodo for an iPhone Belt.. enjoy
wow. I mean, what else are you going to say to that? It's cool. You could be the next quadrillionaire, just like the pet rock guy.

cool idea. I see a lot of busted LCD's in your future son.
nevermind. Saw edit
Nice but very bad idea at this time of hurry and worry. what if it got stuck and you are in the middle of emergency in toilet. Simple belt can be tear off or something. What if you are peeing and you got the call and suddenly you dropped and your pee answered the phone.
ok all,
i really dinged the case on my titan so got a nice fresh one from ebay for christmas. looking at all the lovely colour phones that htc is currently producing got me thinking..... so i lightly sanded out the dings, gave the whole case a little rub over, attached it to a coat hanger and covered over the antennae contacts with tape. 8 or 9 light coats of metallic red car paint from halfords and the case looks fantastic. the worst ding is just about visble but the rest is good as new, if not better! just going to let it dry for 24 hours now and then test it for signal etc. i'm hoping the metallic paint won't affect things too much because it looks great couple of early pics attached. will post some more when it's dry and i can put the phone in it...
si
looks nice!
I wonder if car paint would hold up and not chip away after being exposed for awhile? Anybody have any thoughts on this...as I might try this as well.
I'm planning a few coats of clear lacquer next, hopefully that will give it a bit more strength...
Looks great, Well done, The lacquer should help :fingers-crossed:
Please post some pics when its all finished.

If you carefully sand whatever it is you're using it will provide a way for what you are to use to stick; I realize this isn't the same but I do this with PVC; otherwise there's nothing for the paint to "grip" to; think of it as why road pavers scrape the grooves in the old road before applying the new asphalt down; same thing.
Looks great, congratulations !
I was looking for idea for my Titan, maybe I will try in metalic blue

Hi guys!
First off, no, I am not affiliated with, nor being paid by SlingGrip to write this. But I do want to share this great little product since I haven't seen anyone else mention it for this phone.
When I first got my Note 3, I wanted something to supplement the one-handed mode that would help me use the phone with one hand. I looked at a few different solutions, but the SlingGrip caught my eye because it was pretty inexpensive and made in the US. I ordered a purple one and waited while it and my case came in.
All the SlingGrip is, is a small elastic strap that you can hook your fingers in to give you a more secure hold on the phone. I got it, peeled it off the card it comes on, and stuck it right to the back of my case. It holds very securely with a 3M glue strip. It does add a fair bit to the thickness of the phone and keeps it from lying flat on a table, but this was a non-issue for me. The plastic and elastic strip feel pretty good, and it's such a simple combo that I don't forsee it breaking under normal use.
This was a godsend for using the phone with one hand. I ended up not even using the one-handed mode on the phone, with this I can reach the entire screen without feeling like I will drop the phone!
I just ordered a three-pack since I got a new case, and I highly recommend checking it out!

Nice. As someone with elfin hands, this looks quite useful. Looks like I'll be doing some cheapskate crafting later :3
Approximately how big is the mounting square for these things? I'm really intrigued by these add-on holders (sling grip, iring, flygrip, etc) but the UAG case I have has all kinds of funky grooves and designs on the back. :x
Yeah, I was turned off by the grooves on the UAG case for just that reason. I'm guessing that the slinggrip is longer than the center part where the logo is...

I feel like you'd be much better off just getting a lanyard. There are cases that allow lanyard attachments and they're a lot easier to use, just throw it on your wrist.

Lanyards don't help with holding the phone at all. All that does is catch the phone when you've already lost your grip.

Found a holster that goes over your shoulder, you can wear it under a jacket or vest. Avoids buldge in your pants pocket and awkward belt holster. It's kind of on the pricey side. Thought of asking my gf to get it for me for Xmas lol. Kind of cool and it cones with a wallet in the other side. You can also take off the wallet if you choose not to use it. It's made with vegan leather. They chose to use this over real leather because apparently real leather carries moisture and odor, also stains. They stated the vegan leather ages and fades (patinas sort of) like real leather. http://www.ldwest.com/shop/ you can also check the Instagram account @LG_west_atl
I'm confused, you want to avoid the bulge in your pants caused by the phone by making a bulge over your shoulder? I mean, maybe I just am not vogue, but I think that a bulge over your shoulder would be a little more abnormal than one in your pants pocket. Maybe if there was an image of this product being used by someone, I would understand more, but as it is, this makes very little sense...
Over the shoulder boulder holder? I'll have my wife pick me one up next time she heads to Victoria's Secret. Hard pass from me. Prefer the bulge in my pants I guess.
I think this is like an inside jacket holster like police carry their guns in.

This might be practical if you are going out of the country worried about losing stuff but for everyday use this is some hipster stuff. To each their own though.
Im all over this. thank you for sharing.:good:
Except then you take you jacket off when you get where your going and look like a tool.

I still would love to see an image of this being used by someone. I think it would be quite a riot.
Do they have one that matches my Fanny Pack? Also if I like to wear socks with my sandals, would it look weird to wear this at same time?
