You can buy precut ones at phantomskinz. It comes with 2 screen protectors as well. Those are quite nice, no orange peel effect and not tacky at all
i dont need a signature

you know, that's not a bad idea...I've got access to a CNC router and mill here at work, and a place I can buy some sweet looking carbon fiber from (http://www.dragonplate.com/default.asp). It'd be worth it to make a back for my phone. Wouldn't take me that long either, but I'd have to get time to do it, and that's not likely to happen any time soon.
With any luck, I'll convince the boss to paint more android phones, because our products are seriously sweet, albeit extremely expensive. I'd love to have my Shift painted a custom color, or do some corporate testing with it...doubt it'll happen though

Does any thing more need to be said. Good Job! umm wait... no. Ok, it's different at least.
Rubber screw caps and a better usb attachment method and you have a winner, I would also powder coat the piece black and then highlight the diamonds with red. But thats just me, oh, and maybe round the corners a bit so you dont end up in the hospital reaching for your phone
LMFAO.....oh man.....I needed that considering the type of morning I am having. I deffinitely give you an "A" for effort. After seeing this, I want to now make my own custom dock. Seeing that Verizon will not be selling one we really don't have much of a choice. GREAT JOB!!

Custom Gelaskin

Has anyone done a custom skin for their incredible from Gelaskins.com. I recently got a groupon deal for $30 in Gift cards for $5 so I'm going to go the custom route and upload images to try to make a really nice skin image that matches the contours of the phone. I was just wondering if anyone else has tried this.

I did, it was a nice little (somewhat) protective addition.
Likewise, though a fair bit of warning: they cover the light/proximity sensor. You'll have to carefully cut out a small square with an exacto knife to regain that bit of functionality.
Here's the one I designed:

apparently uploading degrades quality quite a bit...
I also made a sweet dock over last weekend I'll show off. Very easy to make.

This official HTC tpu case has been very elusive since obtaining my hd7 back in November.
It is a bit pricy at £12 - (or £14 at the o2 shop) so I was wondering if anyone has actually paid for one and can tell me if it's any good.
I currently have a tpu case bought on play.com and it's not brilliant as I can not take a photo with the case on.
(taking photos isn't easy with the phone as it is!)
I bit the bullet and ordered one. I will update to give my opinion

Looks nice, but could add a bit of thickness. Let us know how it feels..
hi i have one already it is little thick fit the phone perfectly
feels good in the hand but i wonder why they keep this open area in the back

StickerBoy wrap

Hey guys. Just wanted to show you all what I decided to do here. I have the Samsung Clear View case in silver/grey for my White Note 5. I really like it, but the case being a shiny plastic scratches up like a mother just by looking at it wrong. Especially on the back. So I decided, why not get a skin for it? I have used stickerboy in the past, and they are having a Labor Day 25% off deal right now so I ordered a "leather" skin in pewter color. I did have to make the cutout myself around the camera hole. Turned out pretty good, but not perfect. Otherwise I really like it and I don't have to worry about it scratching on the back at all any more. Plus it adds grip which is great.

Looks pretty damn good to me.

Zizo Case

So believe it or not this came up on my FB Sponsored Ad. Figured it was interesting enough to check out.
Anyone have any experience with this case or any of it's kind? What do you think of it?

The site claims that it's Mil-Std-810G drop test certified.
Feel welcomed to check out what that means for yourself here but based on what I've read was that it withstands 26 drops in total, from 4 feet high, on its face, edges, and corners with no damage to the device. Now that doesn't sound like much but I've cracked a screen on my S4 by letting it smack pavement jelly side down from just two feet. I currently have three cases but I'm strongly considering this to being a fourth!
I saw this too on my Facebook feed. Not so sure about having a lanyard loop on my case

Looks cool man
cool looking case, not digging the lanyard either tho. I got this one with the holster included for $15, not the same i know, but a pretty nice case:
