I'm looking for a cover that isn't too bulky but does a decent job of protecting the phone. Any suggestions?
I ordered this one, http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004Y2HUJO/ref=aw_d_iv_wireless?is=l&qid=1306963020&sr=8-48
I'll let you know how it is when I get the case.

I purchased the white version of this. My wife got the plad version.
Both have already began peeling the rubber like coating.
And it trapped an enormous amount of dust under the case.
When I took it off my phone got dust particles in the smallest crevices imaginable.
I would rate them a 1 out of 10

Go search for "g2x tpu" at Amazon and buy one of the 4-5 dollar ones. You wont regret it, its one of the best cases ive ever had.
This is in the wrong section BTW
Thread moved to proper forum.
Hey all, I was just wondering is it possible to buy a coloured backplate for my Xoom? I find the standard one quite boring and would like to change it!
Thanks in advance.
You can buy skins not sure about backplates, but their easy enough to paint
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
What sort of preperations would i need to make to the back plate to paint?
Sand, wetsand, prime sand some more then paint and primer, have a google for exact prep been. A while since i sprayed metal lol good luck

Ill just add, do take your time if you do paint it, or itll turn out horrible and post a pic when your done
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Actually if anyone knows how to find a new backplate I would really appreciate it, I bought my Xoom second hand and the backplate was damaged, I would really like to make it look like new!
Thank you !
What kind of damage? Any pics?

Thanks a lot for your answer but I was hoping for something a little bit easier to do I don't have any experience doing it and I don't feel like trying on my beloved Xoom
I would be really grateful for a link to a replacement part.
Many thanks
Ive no idea if you can get replacements, maybe direct from motorola i dont know but if you find anywhere report back would be handy to know

Try cellular nationwide network. I've bought parts for my blackberry and other phones in the past. Was even thinking of this for my Xoom.

Opinions? The Android "guy" will be cut out so you'll see the "pretty" Nexus 4 back shining though. Be cutting one in a carbon fiber too. Hell...I have about 30 colors...may be kinda cool. Thoughts? Cost is very minimal to make them for myself so figure why not the small added protection for the back.
That is awesome.

I was thinking of covering the back fully..

I'd buy one I would attach it to my xtreme guard protector
Worked very well actually. The vinyl I use is high end...so I was able to easily take it off with out any residue being left on he phone. Ive changed it to 4 colors in the last two days just for heck of it.

If you start selling these, I'll definitely buy a couple. With a glass back, something like this would become substantial to a lot people.
I'd buy several colors no doubt about it, very cool.

I'm using a $4000 dollar vinyl cutting machine to make them. I have a side business doing professional banners, prints...etc etc. So I made my own template based off of a Hi-Res scan I made of the rear of the device. So my "stickers" are a perfect cut every single time.
Carbon Fiber one will go on tonight. I think this will really look nice. I will upload pics when I have them. Never thought about selling them. I could even personalize them...instead of the Android guy I could put your XDA user name, dogs name...wife's? :laugh:
But in all honesty, if you really are wanting these I would have no problem making them for you guys. I'm thinking maybe $4 including USPS shipping. Carbon would be a dollar more (material is really pricey).

That's a little out of my price range for a "DIYer." It looks like a really clean cut.
I'd love to buy one if they can be highly customized. Is there any disturbance on the camera zoom with that small camera cutout?

Buy a custom made back and let me know cost. Remember...didn't post to sell. Just had inquiries. So offered them up. I'm not gouging anyone by any means.

Depends on the curves of the device. N$ is simple..its flat. Plus id need a scan of the rear of the device to I can create the template.
So I saw the dot case in store on the display model, which we have all probably seen, However which the security device on the back side of the display models I was unable to notice this (see pictures) and I did not notice it in any of the reviews.
I really like the concept of the minimal 8bit lock screen which the dot case and further more the option to answer and make calls without opening is a great plus.
That said it's a shame I won't be using the case now that I have it. The lid does not close flush on the back when open which means the right hand must simple hold the phone and case preventing the right thumb from being able to be used to type / navigate on the screen. And if you were to not hold the lid flush against the back your left and can not maintain a firm grip on the phone because the lid is a tpu material which renders it a bit slippery.
This disappoints me because I really like the features it add.

I noticed that too. I'm hoping mine just breaks in to a point where it was like my note flip case

you dont think it will soften up over time?
This has been mentioned in the Dot View review thread, Others have said it is nearly impossible to type with the cover folded back unless you are really pushing on it.
The case itself does not appear to provide much, if any protection to the back and sides. The Dot View look is cool but with the lack of protection and the flip cover not laying flat, I passed.

Same here after playing with it in store. More of a "cheap gimmick" case imo. Looks cool at night to show off to Ur friends but for any protection, day to day use, and the dot dirt it leaves on screen. Obviously not much thought went into this case outside of the "gimmicks."
Maybe if a soft see through cloth was on the inside of the lid so no dot dirt goes on device, lid actually was flexible to bend back and stay there, feel secure when closed, and had more protection then a cheap $5 knock off case, it would be well worth the $30 maybe $40 tops. Watch a cheap Chinese knock off becomes available on eBay in a few months with all these improvements and half the price, lol!

Lol, not much thought went into this case???? Ok. I think a lot of thought went into this case, and I think they did a excellent job on it! The case, is meant to use while on the go. Like driving, and at work. Hence the reason for the features it carries. It's not meant to text with it. Lol. Just saying. Everyone has their opinions though.

Not flaming, serious question.... Are you saying that you remove your case when texting or otherwise using your phone?
Imo a if your a case type of person wouldn't u want a case to leave on at all times?
I even like the display when the lid is on, in fact once we have write on the /system I fully intend on making it an optional lock screen when no security it being used.

Ya when I'm at home. I remove any case I may have. I don't personally use cases a lot bro. I'll use one at work because I'm a chef. And my hands get greasy. But for the most part I go bareback.

Ok I could see that... Then the dot case would help you even more cause you can swipe to answer and other tasks without greasing up the phone, makes sense

Really? You take your case off when texting at home? You find that acceptable?
I guess there is no fear of dropping it when you are "on the go" either?

Run thanks for the the review bro I've been wondering about this case myself. I agree looks cool imho it's a bit silly if you actually fully remove the case for texting I mean seriously lol but everyone does have different uses. I got the incipio case which I'm pretty happy with dot case is a pretty neat feature.

Let me clear it up a little. Lol. I don't remove my cases to text. Lol. I remove them period, as soon as I hop in my ride after work. I hate cases. Only reason I use one is so I don't get my phone all greasy while at work, I'm a kitchen manager and a chef. Hope that clears up my comments a little.

Not a problem. I figured I'd either get some people prepared for what to expect or at least save some people a few bucks from buying something they will end up not using cause as of right now I have yet to see any in store and had I had the opportunity to play with it before hand I would not have bought it.
Having said all that if someone still wants it pm me and I'l send you mine,
Be moral if you actually want it let me know if you just want it cause it's free please let someone else have it

Haha yeah that's pretty understandable lol my thoughts were a bit exaggerated hehe
I just stick my index finger between the case and the flap and the rest of my fingers on the outside to hold it in place. No problem texting for me.

Nice review mate. Is that true if the screws becoming loose randomly ?
yes,R-JUST case is impressive and I got their Al version, which is powerful on all protection such as shock,impact as well as waterproof,said it meet the IP68 standard with performance 2-meter diving to 30 minutes,nice solution for outdoor sports like me.
Please note R-Just Gundam of two version and you have to choose the Al version for water-proof and the common GUNDAM support water-resistant which only support unexpected water splashing such as rainwater and you will ruin your device if dive it into water.
