HTC Touch in "carbon fibre"

So I wanted a bit of a different look to my HTC casing. However I don't like silicone or other add-on cases, so I went a different route. On a lark I went to Canadian Tire since I remembered they used to have a fake carbon fibre vinyl available (don't ask how I know). However I found an even better one which looks a bit more realistic (and is slightly transparent so when you place it over coloured surfaces the underlying colour comes through).
Wrapped it around my HTC front and back (took the back cover off to do it). Once you lay it on you can use an exacto-knife to trim out the parts you don't want covered. Then used a heat gun to help wrap the edges without wrinkles (that just happened to be on sale too!).
The finished product:

Maybe not everyone's taste but unless you get REALLY close its fairly hard to tell its not an OEM finish (IMO).

I was in a auto parts store the other day and you know what I saw the exact product you used for this pretty cool in my opinion though I prefer the soft touch feal maybe if my phone gets banged up enough I might do this but looks good

I wish some company would release a leather battery cover, or a way to make it all leather. I think it would look very nice

My wooden stylus

I have an iPad and a nexus s... The stylus works with both and wanted to share with you guys. I do recommend this stylus for drawing and note taking. I'm sure this will work with honeycomb tablets.
This stylus is called the E. Stylo stylus for capacitive screens.
e.stylo features:
- lightweight
- both tips work at different angles
- no extra pressure is needed for it to work
- works with gloves on
- smoothly glides over the screen
The final price of e.stylo will be $15.95 plus $4.99 US shipping and $7.99 for international shipping.
Purchased from http://www.Plai.tv/ if any artist/note takers are interested.
I also made a video of it....(videos in my signature) Check it out if u want to see how it responds on the nexus and iPad.
You can scroll the pictures to the right... sorry about the huge pics.

LOL nice
it looks like a small chopstick or a very thick toothpick
which BTW works the same way, in fact any soft edge pointy stick will do just the same
personally i prefer to use my finger nails to write, it's 100% natural in writing and you carry it with you all the time

It's very nice.... Just like a chopstick (edgy), as long as a pencil, and lightweight but not too light.... those pics suck.
I cant wait for the samsung tab, this would be a great stylus for it.
Once Sammy is out, I'm throwing the iPad in the trash. (for sale)

1 time run of custom exotic wood docks

I made 5 docks for the Galaxy Tab, this is a one time run, I am not doing this again, not for awhile that is, so...get them while they are here.
Each one is different, here are the builds.....
Every dock has a solid one piece base.
Every Dock was milled from.....a log by me, absolutely NO store purchased wood.
No metal fasteners.
First time run, so I myself can find every imperfection, however other people who have seen them just love them.
Made with some very rare....and exotic woods

Articulated arm for watching movies and playing games

I was in Honduras, on a small island, in a crappy apartment with no TV, money or girlfriend. This was the product of my boredom.

It's made of wood and cost less than $5.
It's got 5 joints that allow for nearly any positioning and the actual device can be rotated to landscape or portrait. The only thing missing was a vertical rotation axis right by the nexus so it can can turn left and right. The string is a backup to stop everything collapsing on my face in the night.

Boredom is responsible for many great achievements :smile:

We really do not need that type of comment here......
OP instead of using the string on the wall.. Get two Star type locking washes on each side of the first upright angle bar.. they will dig into the wood and hold it tight without the string.... You could also file some groves into flat washers to achieve this and cut a few groves into the wood for them to seat into...
I Have a commercial made arm similar that i got for my Work van Years ago... Its in basement somewhere now

sorry to offend...
by the way, what does the term "knob" mean in your sig?

OK the idea was creative. The hands free comment was cute, give the guy a break! ?

DIY Phone Strap

Made this for the safe keeping of my 8T. I was using a Gordy's leather strap, but my 6mo puppy ate it. *facepalm*

You want a multistrand braid tether attachment.
Monofilament nylon fails with little or no warning.

I used 500lb nylon. Do you think that will work? I definitely want it strong, so looking for opinions here.

Obviously that's not able to hold 500#.
The problem is the monofilament, it's all or nothing. Multistrand usually shows signs of abrasion and impending failure.
Clear nylon is also UV sensitive and doesn't weather well in dry environments.
You want a tether preferably that has no metal rings or such that can scratch the phone. Most phone cases lack good attachment points or accommodate only ridiculously thin tethers. I want at least a 50# tensile strength. First time it gets snagged on something you'll know why...
The weakest link theory applies very much to tethers.
I wear BDU cargo pants so I just use a good case and the thigh pocket. This works well even with large phones and they don't drop out but are still easily accessible.
You'll need to put some thought and searching into this to find the best solution for you.

Thanks for the assist. This strap is mostly to get me through until my new Gordy's arrives. His straps are built like tanks.
