i don't, but for 10 bucks (for the skin) i think if u design the right image (like with a black border around ur image) , even if its a tad too small it should look good...For 10 bucks it worth it to try, i think...
And on the case, its a soft plastic, so you should be able to fit it around even with the added thickness, but i wouldn't swear to that one....
They have a satisfaction guaranteed policy tho, so its worth a try!

Does the skin wrap over thes edges for additional edge protection? I just ordered one with a matte brushed aluminum but I don't think the edges are protected at all?
Any information on that?
from what I can see no edge protection, check the OP's youtube vid.

I recently saw the leatherlike backplate of a Blackberry.To have also a leather like backplate would be a nice third party addon to the Diamond 2 which lacks a bit of quality on the original shiny black plastic one.
http://www.wmexperts.com/alternate-back-touch-diamond-2
anyone know where to get this yet?
looks awesome! can't wait to get rid of this piano-black-fingerprint-magnet backplate.
any1 know more about this? i'd really like to buy one asap!
Alternate Back Cover
You can take you phone to a Plastic Paint workshop and ask then to add a Dull coat of paint. there are different standard and scale that goes from 1 to 10. 5 is best because when painted above the logo text and the metal piece arround the camera lens hole it, it will not affect their apperance. I have done so with my Diamond2 from the first day I got it. And it look now exactly as shown here : http://www.wmexperts.com/alternate-back-touch-diamond-2

this sounds cool! but where do i find a Plastic Paint workshop?? i'm from Bucharest/Romania...don't know if i get something like that around here...
what are these plastic paint workshopers do actually? (so i would think of an eventual shop which does that)
Backplate
That's the easy part. Look at the yellow pages arround where you live. There should be lots of industrial companies that undertake prototype developpement or Just do paint job specialized in plastic for the industry.
You probably need to make few calls and one will lead you to another.....
wish you good luck. Mine cost me 20 dollars.

I am not sure.
but maybe I can check it tommrow
I just check the post-office in Taiwan
that backplate is 1350.NTD
and the postage is about 550-650 NTD.
if it all cost 2000.NTD = about 60.USD = 45.ERU

i'll see what comes next on the market, maybe if more alternatives will appear, prices will drop.
What I really would like is a backplate that is similar to the HTC S710 (and probably other phones aswell). That one is in a really nice rubber material, really liked that on my old S710.

i like the one on the Touch HD. it has a nice granulated/rubber-ish feeling, leaving no fingerprints. i hope something like that will appear soon, with a correct price...because i actually like the one on the Taiwanese site, but i think it's way too expesive.
It looks nice, i want that cover

In order to get to the keyboard and face buttons, you need to break a void seal/sticker that is on one of the screws.

i was thinking about buying it when i saw it on ebay but then again i dont want to void warranty. and the whtie g1 is not actually white...its clear. so it may look gray on ur black g1.
and white battery cover has been known to chip.... i was going to buy the full white battery cover but i figured i should also order zagg invisible shield.
that does look clean. i might be interested in following suit.
white battery cover?!?
I was unaware that a white battery cover existed. I have the white g1 and am appalled/disgusted/annoyed/enraged/$FAVORITE_HARSH_WORD at the bronze back cover. I'm looking on eBay tomorrow for said cover.
Any other spots I should check for the white battery cover?

u didnt post videos of the new trackball.. if you care to disprove me then upload a video. if not, then i stand by my answer.that picture looks fake. so i am not looking likek an idiot. u think a link to the trackball is proof?
I used to be into modding cars before I started grad school... this thread reminds me of a guy who took his sports car and put an airbag suspension in, thus destroying the amazing handling he originally had. To each their own though...

Hey Everyone. I wanted to change my keyboard to a white one against the black of my original one, and ended up buying the whole housing for a white g1 on ebay. Thought it would be an easy fix, but was I wrong. came with a couple tools but I still had to buy eyeglass screwdrivers. Ended up having to do almost a complete disassembly to get the keyboard in, so the rest was simple! Ha ha JK the Screen frame was hard too! But in the end, after scaring myself every step of the way, I finally ended up with exactly what I wanted. I tested colormatch options through colorware to see which part combination I liked best. But its all about the contrasting keyboard, so awesome!

Nice! Looks like you figured out the brass inserts...that part kicked my arse until I just said screw it and hit em harder!
Thanks looks pretty sick
Dude. That looks pretty freakin sweet. Nice job.
Thanks everyone, surprised I haven't seen this before.
I'll add color somewhere later. Next I will create a custom back like the new credit card cases for the iphone, to hold a little cash, an ID and a credit card when I just need the bare necessities.
Yeah the brass inside sucked, as did the wires, the seal around the screen, but hell, I know my phone inside and out. Hell, I only learned how to root my phone a couple months ago, and I am NO programmer. Thanks to everyone on this site, I bricked my phone a bunch of times but was always able to find the solution here.
I wish I had a pic of the green back I painted when I first got it. It was bad ass but now its chipped- needed a clear coat.
dude, your phone looks SICK! I think it looks really good, you have some major cajones to even attempt this. I thought I was living fancy by mixing and matching different hard cases that I bought but you took it to the next level, haha
props for the sick mod
I say do the "chin" too. Looks good regardless, but I think the chin would give it the full effect.
WOW that looks awesome but the only problem is that the white keyboard is nearly impossible to read lol
And I thought my white battery door was cool! Great job there. It looks awesome.
Did you buy the housing from a US seller or a CHINA seller, i dont know if its true or not but I heard that buying from the CHINA seller might be a problem due to the fittings might be off. I need to confirm this before making my purchase....

try looking for a true OEM housing. shell out the extra cash... clone housings tend to be of lower quality

ir try to call htc themselvs, i doubt they will sell you a housing,but u can ask where they they their supplies from.

Now you just need this wallpaper (I use it w/my white G1).

im into the whole black/white too. that looks wicked!
i found a cool battery door at the local tmo store, its kinda like a black/white liquid gooey web (donno how to describe it but it looks cool) and i used a ghost black dx top theme, i think itd fit your phone perfect.
google black and white wallpaper (images) theres a bunch that look awesome
love it haha
post more pics?
Thanks for all the responses!
Right about the keys, the letters do dissappear at dawn and dusk, but no big deal. I can still see my keys in the lowest light without having to move the trackball to light the keypad up.
Yes, this is a china knockoff. I think. Came from Hong Kong, and when I got it, I thought it was a cheap reproduction because of the lightweight plastic. But once I got it on, it feels awesome. No matte finish with the velvety touch, but instead a slick white high gloss. It was weird at first, but using it, it slides into my pocket way easier.
Fittings... Everything fit but two screws holding the screen piece on- the two at the top. The screws that are stock are smaller than the places they screw into. I was worried at first, and planned on getting some better ones from an eyeglass kit. But I don't need them. There is more than enough clips and the other big screw to keep it in place.
Yes, oem is better, but this mod cost me $30 total, and I really only wanted to do the keyboard in the first place so this is all still win for me.
Totally love my phone now, rooted on cyan's 4.1.1 exp, got my 8gig card in running all my apps and freeing up my memory to some 85mb internal memory... till I saw my buddy's new mytouch- 256mb internal memory! Now mine is slow again because I saw his...
Also on one other sidenote, my mytouch buddy just had to migrate from an iPhone, and he LOVES android! Go android!

your supposed to remove the brass inserts from the old bezel and transfer them. It is a PITA, but i was able to hammer them back in on the one I did. There are 2 like this on the center plastic where the keyboard goes as well.
Mine came from a US seller, and he accepted $25 shipped. Here is his link:

great for my LG G3 ( use G3 with Spigen Armor .
SUPER STRONG suction cup and you can easily rotate it 360 and most important I can insert and release the device
with one hand ..
So my favorite car mount is definitely the MONTAR ( and by the way my winner for cases is SPIGEN - no doubt about it ) .
I'd say for a bulky mount that one is a bit more suave in design but I've always used Tetrax xway. It has zero added bulk and you can rotate seamlessly. It uses a high powered magnet which you can affix to any case.
Definitely nice .. just don't like those vent mounsts like tetrax or kenu ..

Think I have 11 lol. the hut with the red&white candy arch and green mistletoe. At the top and middle of the candy bar the white is smaller on the right, then look further right (edge of pic) there is a black line.
Finally the window with the green Xmas tree on the right has a slight anomaly in the right corner a small black line pointing down(zoom ctrl+scroll wheel lol), Idk maybe.

haha .. no idea how he found 11 .. I think some of the differenaces are just printing error
Decided as I couldn't find a case I liked (most make the phone too think, interrupt wireless charging and add unnecessary bulk) that I should customise a genuine battery housing / back panel.

:crying: it's beautiful!
Haha. Thanks. I love it I've lusted after the G4 leather back and unsuccessfully tried covers that have a "leather-look" that interfered with the wireless charging and look plasticy and rubbish tbh.
So I took inspiration from the MOTO X Style. I love it because I still get wireless charge, it's light and it's unique.
If you seriously want one you just need:
• an original LG G3 back plate
• a roll of DC Fix or other vinyl film
• a hair drier
• a Stanley knife or scalpel
Instructions
1. Remove back from phone (or use an original replacement from eBay). Clean the plate with alcohol or window cleaner. It needs to be 100% clean. No dust or finger prints.
2. Cut out a piece of the vinyl film, large enough to cover your back plate with maybe an excess of about 1cm around the edge.
3. Remove the paper from the film and place it sticky side down on the back plate.
4. Smooth the film over the back plate, pushing any air bubbles out.
5. Blast with a hair drier to make the film go super floppy and smooth over the edges.
6. Trim off the excess and carefully cut out the holes for the camera/buttons, flash, laser and speaker.
Done

A little comparison
Have you heard of dbrand? (https://dbrand.com/shop/lg-g3). It's been around for a while and offer various combinations and designs

Yeah, I did try one of those first. The white leather effect one. They're good but I found it didn't go right to the edges, especially the top and bottom, and it got grubby quite quickly. The latter maybe because it was white.
Thanks for sharing!!!

You rock! Thanks for the share!
The only foreseeable problem is figuring out what to do with the remainder of the roll lol

True but at only £5 (USD$7) it's cheaper than the precut stuff and a lot of cases. I'm redoing my kitchen so it was just left over for me.
I might vinyl wrap my car so it looks wooden #crazy

that looks great! interesting idea, never thought about using wraps or vinyls to do it like this. i just bought this "sample" oak vinyl film 4" x 8" just the right size, hope it'll work for my g3! it's not a self adhesive, or at least thats what it looks like, any recommendation on the adhesive i should use?

Looks like it should be self adhesive. It says "sticker" and has backing paper. Give it a shot and remember to post a pic of it

I grew to still like it, it's the standard fit version and it's possible my technique wasn't as good as the pros but it does look like a sticker.
awesome! :laugh:
I will probably follow your steps
Can you show a picture of the corners? Thank you
Thanks for your guide.. Finally i made it! But my wood effect is so dark..
Sent from my LG-F400L using XDA-Developers mobile app
It looks great! But how do the edges feel? I tried a dBrand skin and the sides never really stuck 100% and felt sharp. like it would cut your finger any moment.
@superawesomeme Thank you so much for posting this! Look absolutely amazing! I can use this method to wrap my electronic cigarette as well, been wanting this so much and no one sells wraps like this for my device. This is so awesome thank you very much really!
I was so disappointing when LG decided to not release their wood/leather covers for the G3 just to push the G4 sales.
