The Guide to Paint your Trinity
Youll need Gray/Silver (any) Color - the same color they use to paint cars - to use with the air brush
youll need special 50% nail polish \ 50% coagulable stuff (get at your local carpenter) not regular nail polish - to use after you paint to keep it from peeling
An Airebrush, (used to paint on cars, walls , etc... very gentle tip)
Air Compressor:
to be continued...
continuted...
of course to dissasmble your trinity, it's 4 screws not very hard to do:
Work space:
Protect the parts that are not going to be painted:
Important: before you start painting you must scratch the current black color first, with grinding paper\Sand paper - very gentle one. it is the hardest part to do, so do this very gently.
Some results!!:

it took my friend about 11 hours to do this....

Are there pictures concerning how to remove the inside of the phone? I mean how to get the buttons and the scrollwheel out of the frame. Some pictures of the inside after it had been taken out would be great.
hi.
the trinity and pictures are mine (im the "friend" of nadav) and i've just finished painting another trinity but now i did it in black.
its look like the original color /
thanks for the pics. i guess the warranty is lost if i remove the 4 screws, right?
do you really think i will do all this work without taking care of the warrenty label
for all they know i've done it externally with black paint and a brush.
well but how did you remove the void-sticker without breaking it? or do you have some void-stickers in your stock

Overall. Quality of this product is superb and installation was so easy.
Did it all in about 15 mins + finishing it off with a hair dryer on low heat and 6" away from phone while off to cure the phantom skinz.

They are kinda small. Gotta stretch it a bit when you put it on, and then use hair dryer to make it even better. There is a video instruction on the website. Just followed every step and turned out great.
This is pure sex in my eyes!!!!

The camera I took the pic with is kind of crappy as it isn't as detailed. Pictures don't do the justice. Looks way better in person.
It is also texturized. Not just an image print.
That looks very sweet! May have to look into getting something like this for my cappy! Nice work on the install
if you are in the carbon fiber mood, there is a site that specializes in the 3M film (now in 7 colors!)
http://www.carbonfiberfilm.com/blog/3m-carbon-fiber-di-noc-now-available-in-7-different-colors/
I had this same skin for a while.
It actually adds some grip to the otherwise slippery Captivate.
Also gives a small amount of protection.
Initially it is a lint magnet until the adhesive at the edges wears out. But then it looks really good.
For me it only had two downsides:
1. Eventually, it started to lift at a couple of spots.
2. Can't be transferred to another device (like a case can) if you need to replace your phone for some reason.
Hi all, really like the look of this dock on eBay UK, has anyone tried it?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-desktop-cradle-dock-white-/140684329419?pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhoneAccessories_MobilePhoneChargers&hash=item20c17081cb
Give me a break. Would never ever buy such an expensive piece of bent white plastics...
White plastic + heatgun = profit?
| BOCA RC1 Powered Galaxy Tab P1000 | Tapatalk |
Hmm I have a thing for all things shiny, white and a tad contemporary ... It's the only white accessory I've found for my white Note ...
I hear you though Reb0rn ... A heat gun might be my next purchase
I've just bought and received this:-
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Foldable-...K_iPad_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item43aac92b5b
It's excellent and works very well with the note, even with the flip case on. I will post some pics if you want to see the note in it, probably tomorrow as i'm working late tonight.
Quick thoughts... Adjustable to any angle in either orientation and folds flat for portability..
Dan
Hi Dan, thanks for the link, looks good ... A pic would be great if you do get a chance ... I like the idea of the adjustable angles
Ok, finally got round to taking some pics. Sorry it took so long, very busy with work due to incompetence (mainly mine).
Very happy with it over all. It's solid, adjustable and portable. And the rubber insert in the tray is removable although leaving it in allows the capacitive buttons to be reachable..

nope, it's just a stand, but a good one. See the link to the ebay page a couple of posts above the pics for more details and video.

I note that they are $17.95+$4.50 shipping from NewEgg, but only $14 (not sure about shipping) if you order direct from DecalRUs.com.
Am I loosing it, or do they all cover the back AND the front of the screen? Wouldn't that make it a bit harder to use? I mean I'm sure you could just not apply the front decal, but then what's the point of making front decals?
***EDIT***
Although I must say some of the decals ARE really nice.
How would having them on the front make it harder to use?
** Oh you mean how the image is also on the screen? That's just a wallpaper they include so your screen matches your decal.

if you look at the picture, there is a little blurb in yellow saying "free matching background wallpaper, NO screen protector included"
so it only wraps around the front up until it hits the screen, but doesn't actually cover the glass

Ah THAT explains it. (Guess I am losing my mind) I'm at work on a crap monitor so it was kind of difficult to read the sideways yellow text.
Neat skins.

I agree. I'm wondering if they would allow you to upload your own custom images for a custom skin, but i haven't been able to find anything like that, so i doubt it

Being jealous of the Spigen custom backplates, I figured I'd try and get things going for the Tech21 Impact Frame cases. Thanks to the awesome folks at Tech21 providing the outline of the transparent section of their Impact Frame cases, I bring you GIMP project files with layer masks and all that already set up for you!
To download the template: Click here!
Making your backplate:
To use this, go download GIMP from http://www.gimp.org/downloads/, and open the file with it. I provide two layers for working on, named "Background" and "Image". You don't have to use both, but for the backplate I wanted, I needed something to fill in the gaps around my image. You can either click the little "eye" in the layers pane to hide whichever one you don't use, or just use the Image layer and make sure it covers the Background layer completely.
If you want a gray background behind the whole thing, enable the "Gray Fill" layer by clicking the empty spot in it's row in the layer pane, in the same column as the "eyes" for the other layers.
This template isn't perfect, but it turns out significantly better than the results I had trying to adapt the template for the Spigen cases.
Printing:
I had tons of issues printing with both GIMP and the Windows photo tools. I ended up using Irfanview to do it, and the results turned out beautifully. I did add a white background layer to the image before trying to print it, though, because the print preview kept showing a solid black background which I didn't want to pay for the ink for.

Hopefully somebody else finds this useful! I don't know how many people have these cases, but if people want to share their own backplates, feel free to post them here!
So I bought my red and shiny Devilcase after my screen shattered while using a beloved Rockit flipcase.
This is for anyone that want to use a Magtron adapter with a cover that is not compatible.
Tools needed:
- Sandpaper/Dremel tool (see picture)
- Patience
Optional:
- Fine grain sandpaper
Step one:
- An image is worth a thousand words so follow instructions in the given picture.
Step Two (optional):
- Use fine sandpaper (800 to 1200) to apply desired level of polish.

As you can see my result is not very polished because I don't really care about the look of the adapter, I need it to work and I don't wanna risk to damage the goddamn flap every time I charge the phone.
DISCLAIMER: I'm not responsible for any damage you may cause to your stuff or yourself.
TESTED IT WITH DEVILCASE AND Z3C.
hey mate, I've got the black devilcase on my Z3C atm and was actually just the other day considering purchasing one of these adapters. So thanks for posting this, looks like a simple mod. (I've already got a dremel).
Do you have a set of verniers handy? It would be cool to know how many millimeters I need to shave off, although in your photos it looks like about 1mm?
Glad it helped! 1mm around the plugs and 0.5mm below the plugs. Make few tries, if you sand too little you can sand a bit more, if you sand too much you may face a problem. It takes 5 minutes with a Dremel.
Nice!
Im now buying the Z3C and havent got the magnetic adapter/cable yet.
Im planning to use DevilCase too..is there any cable or adapters(preferably) that fits well without enhancements?

I am currently using this cable with the devil case. Fits perfect. Only reason I'm looking at the adapter is I'm planning to make a car cradle that charges the phone
Expensive! aren't there adapters maybe?
Sure is, the ones referenced in the first post.
