Custom "BackCover-Inlay" for CASE-MATE Naked! - Xperia Z1 Accessories

Hey Folks,
out of my own made misery i made "Mask" for easy backcover-inlay creation with the CASE-MATE Z1 Clear-Naked Case.
This is ONLY for this particular Case!!
It is a file in PNG format. Just open it with GIMP or PS ore similar and put ur pic on a 2nd layer behind my mask.
Move it to the correct position and save as bmp and so on and so on. There is a Tutorial in the PNG itself.
When doing/printing like said in the tut, it fits very well.
I have a picture of my phone, but pls remember, i cut it out really bad! I am at work right now and i only got bad scissors and so on.
Here is the Sample of my Phone:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lxxtg9b7unvs5j3/DSC_0022.JPG
It's for free use. I made it myself and "TheRedTurkey" is my "GamerTag/Nick i use often. So don't missunderstand it plz. I did not steal it from anyone else!
Critics and comments are allowed and welcome
The PNG-File is attached

Cheers for this.

Really nice, it's a real shame that the case has no magnetic charging port cutout, otherwise I would have purchased one.

[Official] Htc One X accessories

here you can have a look at the upcoming official htc one x accessories. thought it was a good idea to put them in a seperate thread
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_phone.aspx?i=229814
heres some detailed info on some of the neat things http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/blog/2012/02/htc-one-x-accessories-available-first-from-mobile-fun/ but the one that catches my eye is the HTC One X Speaker Dock CR S650 can just keep my fingers crossed that someone releases a case which extends the pogo pins.
strange is that when i search for more images info etc on the s650 i get this dock http://www.parrotshopping.com/us/p_htc_item.aspx?i=229884 its the same on this this page http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=229884&phone=229814 and on alot of pages so i guess they got the images mixed up..
.
Thanks, your help is apreciated
Hope the rest of the incoming members help us keeping it like this!!!

ohh that one..
was wondering why is it call a hard shell when there is a flip there...
no way am i getting a casing with a flip cover on it.. hate those designs..
I ordered this case and it came this morning: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rubberised-...MCYA/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1331982985&sr=8-7
First impressions- I don't like the way it's not going to completely cover the top or bottom of the phone, it also seems like the kind of case that clips on - not a big fan - (I'll see how it fits when I get the device) - material seems good though (hard plastic).
May be a good stop gap until casemate get their tough cases out (loath to pay 30 quid though, but always found them to offer A+ protection)
@jermx i think this is a stand becouse this case is transparent

can someone confirm, or am i going crazy?

I thought the exact same thing earlier. The location of the micro usb plug on there would mean that the micro usb port on the phone would have to be on the right hand side, but in all pictures it's been on the left hand side.
Perhaps it's a mirror image, for some reason?
the phone has 5 metal dots on the back. these are the dock connection. not the micro-usb port.

Video Review: Case-Mate DIY Custom Case for Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey guys,
Case-Mate recently released a program that allows you to make custom cases by uploading a picture or designs to their website. This is an awesome option for users looking to customize cases to their own liking. What you get is a Barely There case with your image or design printed on the back. The printing process is fantastic, leading to a super high quality image on the back. Definitely impressed with how mine turned out.
Full video below showcasing the process and final result! I urge you to check it out!
Nice thorough review, pros and cons, just what we need to know.
Now if I can just make up my mind on a theme for the software, I can get easily get a case to match.

It was difficult for me at first, since I just wanted to find an image that showed exactly what I wanted instead of making my own. Since you have so many options to choose from, you should be able to make something great. Goodluck with that

While I haven't tested it out, the reason I say so is because my GSM extended won't fit. The LTE extended is a bit thicker than GSM extended, so I assume it won't either.
It fits the GSM Stock a little loose (as shown) but it's to be expected since it is made for the LTE model.
Could you post the original image that you used, or at least its resolution?
And what do they mean with "Area inside dotted line prints on case"? You did not zoom in your image to fill the whole dotted area...
thx

Spigen Ultra Hybrid Cutout Template

For anyone with the Spigen Ultra Hybrid case, you'll have noticed that the case came with two cutouts to cover the clear backing.
If anyone is interested in creating a custom back image, I have created a template (PSD) which you can just add your design in and print.
Simply put your design under the initial layer, align/fit your design to your liking and that's it!
An example has been attached as well as a zipped version of the PSD.
Enjoy

Thanks for the feedback the reason those its are "rough" is because when the backplate is placed with the case they are not seen the and i can promise you when the backplate is printed out as is "windows printing issues aside" the template fits perfectly when cut out, So i hope i addressed the concerns you have
EDIT: I reviewed those images again and my original template looked the same on the pc screen as Dans one but when printed out the camera cutout was too far down this was the reason for me producing a new version of it with all the changes
Thanks for the Support anyway
Hey there,
Great work with the template, it fits perfectly in the case!
I took the freedom to modify the template a bit to include a printable border (for white designs) and a layer that shows the actual visible area of the back window.
Before printing remember to hide the "Visible Area" layer.
Also, all of the elements are saved as Patterns so you can modify or fill them the way you want.
The template is in GIMP .xcf format as I don't have PS.
Cheers
Thanks for the template, i was thinking of doing one myself, might stick a few on an a4 page and get them printed out in one go in high quality.
I messed around with one of the spare prints that came with mine and i stickerbombed it and trimed it for the camera and sides. Heres the results ill post my ones i get printed as soon as i do them up.

No you don't get cards to print on, but you do get one plastic transparent template to help in cutting one out.
I was able to find websites that showed skin artwork for the iPhone. I guess I'll use them to print one out on paper and then cut it to nexus 5 size.

Well, in this official ringke video they use a cutout from a magazine. So I think normal paper should hold.
So if anyone is interested, I've attached a word file (not pdf, in case you want to edit) containing some images of back prints I liked on the website I mentioned earlier. These images were resized and cropped to match the dimensions of the Ringke Fusion Nexus 5 case, although I haven't printed and tested any of them yet. This should save a lot of your time. :good:
If you do print them, let us know here if they fit well. :highfive:

Ringle Fusion Case Templates

Hi guys! As you know, there are several printable diy case tutorials for the Oneplus One. However, I couldn't find any such threads for the Oneplus 2. I did however stumble upon this reddit thread: https://m.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/3ob07f/ringke_fusion_oneplus_two_case_cover_template/
Using the templates provided by the person on that thread and some Photoshop skills, I've made some printable templates. These can be directly printed on 4x6 photo paper (if you're using an A4 sized sheet, print two templates on one page for the desired size)
Note: These should only be used with the Ringke Fusion cases (you could get them on amazon). Smoke black or clear, any will do.
If you guys have any requests, please do post them here with high resolution images. I might take some time to do them, as I am a student after all
Here's the link to the templates that I have made:

Print the whole thing out on photo paper. Then use a craft knife to cut them out. Even cut out the white part for the camera. I use an X-Acto blade
It's very difficult to cut it out with scissors. You could use a small paper cutter though.

Yes I know the cutout part. I've done the same for a Nexus 5. But I use Gimp to make the template with the picture. But when i insert the picture the borders of the template are sent to the back. I cant see the camera cut. I used to do it somehow before for Nexus 5. But the same isn't working now. Could you post the software u use and the instructions how to use it for making the template. Because I want to make my own, not print the ones already available.

I made those ones using Photoshop touch. Imported the stock template (link in OP) and then pasted that over the background picture I need. Then I cut out all the outer areas with the magic wand tool. I haven't really used Gimp before, I do all this from my phone
Photoshop touch isn't available on the market anymore, I think. You'll probably have to use Photoshop on your laptop if you don't have it on your phone.
The problem is, the template is too short. I've made one for myself too, but it's too short and I don't know how to modify it.

Strangely, it was too short when I got it printed out on card paper from one stationary store. The second time I got it done (from a different store), it was printed out perfectly. I think the paper sizes are a bit different, but I really don't know too much either :/

As I stated in the OP, I didn't make the base template. I got it from a reddit thread (I've put the link in the OP) and I just photoshopped it on some old wallpapers of mine to make printable sheets that I could use beneath my cover.
If you can find a Ringke Fusion template for your phone, I could help you add pictures to it using Photoshop.
To make your own template, you'd probably have to scan the stock template that you got with your cover and edit it in Corel Draw, which I have no knowledge of.
Sorry
