I just changed my Black 32gb to white. Much easier than I thought! I guess I'm on the only one with a white 32gb ?.
I ordered all the parts on eBay. Rear housing, white fingerprint scanner, and white SIM tray.

Nice! 6P got awful repairablilty scores but it's really not bad at all. I think most people are just scared to heat it up enough to soften the glue and they wind up shattering the camera glass prying on it. I changed mine from aluminum to black. I left the aluminum fingerprint sensor though. Edit- Looks like we use the same cheapo Stanley heat gun too.

Lol yup, I think we do. I was nervous too due to the repair scores. I watched a few videos and it seemed pretty easy. Changing the fingerprint scanner was super easy to. It did help I had a screen separator tool too. I'm really happy with the white!

nicely done, one day i will get a replacement so i can keep for any repairs after my nexus protect expires.
I picked up the graphite because I didn't want to spring for the 64gb to get white.. I'm happy with it.. But that is one creative way to get white on a 32gb, well done!!

I really like the look of the blue case. Cheers for showing us these.
Looks like from doing a bit of research on google they are roughly a good $15-20 to buy so not too bad (that's Aussie dollars)

amazing... where i am buy in indonesia ?
Great case (I have one) although it doesnt cover much of the front of the phone ie front edges or buttons when lying face down on a surface and the camera/mic area is also exposed when lying down on a surface - otherwise excellent case.
Oh yea the right hand side of mine pops off and the case moves slightly back and forth over the phone causing scratches - the movement is solved with sticky tape between the back of the phone and the inside of the case.
I have incidentally since bought a Krusell case which is far far superior in many ways (see post) but does increase the size of the phone a lot more than this slim fitting profile Imak case.
P.S - dust/dirt getting between the back of the phone and the case can cause a sandpaper scratching effect between the hard surfaces and I used some sticky tape to stop the slight movement as the case moved over the phone to also stop the scratching (and the movement).
I finally decided to get the white carbon fiber ghost armor to put on my phone. Sorry for the crappy pics right now, will upload better ones when I get my hands on my camera.
What I paid: 37$ for the entire job, it was a definitely a little pricey but I think it was worth it... considering that was including installation... and that now my phone looks SICK. The carbon fiber job doesn't really offer that much protection against drops but it is scratch resistant and pretty durable. The kit will include ghost armor though which you can put underneath and the carbon fiber stuff on top.
If you guys want to just buy it and install it yourselves here is a coupon code for 20% off: Ga4life.
Here are a couple pictures:

Great product. Got mine done at the mall, got a pretty awesome deal [free]. It looks awesome, but I would never try to put it on myself, and I put on screen protectors daily. It fits the phone perfect, keeps it protected, and it still works in my car dock. Mine's black, but your pics are busted, so I'll throw some in. A couple of them I was just playing with my new camera, so had to do the double color long exposure, and show it off, lol.
wth howd u get it done for free? nd idk if this one peels im thinking about the black one!
Read the sig, it'll make since. I don't think you'll have a problem with it peeling, mine is on there very well, and shows no signs of degrading in any way, and I've had it on for over a month.
I don't understand why the kiosk at the mall in CT says they don't make them for the gs II. They claim nothing will stick to the textured back yet the ghost armor website clearly sells them.
Wtf.

Did a quick job of laying down a piece of 3M Di-Noc on my phone. Will reapply as time permits. Thought I would share the results if any of you thought about doing the same.

Good idea. Which color did you use? Looks like gloss black, is that right? I'm sort of wondering whether the gloss red or the silver would look too crazy.
Edit: For those wondering - http://www.carbonfiberfilm.com/blog/3m-carbon-fiber-di-noc-now-available-in-7-different-colors/
I got one coming from XO Skins. Someone on here had it and it looked sweet. I would rather pay extra and have it pre-cut perfectly then mess around with cutting it myself not to mention I would have to buy the tape still anyway. This is the one I got here They also have them in a few other colors, it also covers the bottom half of the phone. Use code SPRINTXO at checkout gives you 30% off about a wash for shipping.
I ordered mine from phantomskinz.com

I used the black carbon fiber film. There is a roll of silver cf sitting on my workbench, will peel of the black in the morning and will take a pic in silver.
antenna
Will it interfere with the antenna reception?

I don't think it will interfere with the antennas. Its only a thin piece of vinyl printed with a cf design. Far less material compared to a tpu case or otterbox.
I just ordered one from xoskins.com. i found this discount code on line that worked SPRINTXO. it saved me a few bucks i think it was 30%
Ok... after having a tpu cover for several months i finally took it off and gone nekked.. it's my day 2 and boy it sure does feel pretty good in the hand and i'm loving the fact that i can always glance at it and admire its build quality and the overall looks of it. Although don't get me wrong...even though covers serves your cell extra protection from slippage, nicks etc it still won't prevent it from damages like scratchess and i'm just not a fan of slight bulkiness. what's your take on this???

this is what i have on full body cover http://www.ebay.com/itm/180800325521?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
cheap , one of the best in market , easy to install
I have a tpu case myself and as much of a keep it bare kind of guy HTC did a stupid thing with making the touch screen higher than the body itself. But the tpu case I'm a fan.
Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads!
I have a TPU cover with translucent back that shows the rear and HTC logo. I mostly have it on for work and when working out. I go naked whenever I go to restaurants or out in public and just slip it in its Nexus One like "Andy" pouch.

Hey, I just got the LG G5. I noticed the chin is really sharp, and there are just sharp edges throughout the whole phone on the sides, but not as bad as the chin. I noticed on the bottom right near the chin my lcd was slightly lifted off and could see the backlight. I pushed it in and it hasn't popped back out yet, but I am guessing it's going to do the same thing later. The sharp edges I am talking about are where the metal strip is, not the LCD so I don't think that has anything to do with this.
I also have an LG g2 and that phone and is extremely smooth and nice to hold. Is this normal for the LG G5 to be so sharp?

No it's not normal, could you take a pic of it and show us?

I might be exaggerating, but it just feels odd to me an expensive device like this isn't completely flush.
With the flash on, the seam appears bigger than in real life, but it does help show what I am talking about:
Also, I bought the phone from ebay claiming it was new and sealed. I bought the titan variant of this phone, does yours also have a sticker on the back like mine with the serial and imei info? There was also a 32gb microsd card from Kingston in here, but I do not recall this phone advertising it came with a microsd card.

My G5 also has the sticker on the back with the IME and a barcode, but i definitely do not have sharp edges. My phone is Virgin UK supplied.
