That looks killer!

Thanks! The more I look at it, the more it has a Lance Armstrong "LiveStrong" look to it. Not what I was going for though!

Well that's what I was going for, so good to hear it worked! Now at least it goes with the giant wooden bee I have on the back of my phone!

I know, everything matches up really well. Why don't you make a custom GelaSkins and slap it on the back in the form of a bee or what not?

Got an email from Jacob today, since I am local here I really wanted to support him an purchase a case for the verzion version. He said to check back in a few weeks so I will just rock the bumper untill I hear word from them production is ready.

Already have several of those! I'm just rocking the custom engraved wooden back with my "bee" since I have so much invested in that back.

you should anodize the e13ctron logo yellow. I realize thats a bit of work now. but if you want to complete your theme.

I can just paint fill that with a wax stick or paint marker. But that's a good thought!

That would look really cool.

Look on their website, or does it not show it?

Where did you get the yellow screws? I wouldn't mind having some for my case once I get one for the Verizon iPHone

He said he made them, right?

 

[chris975d]

Yes. I just took an extra set of black screws that I had and through several very light coats sprayed them with yellow paint. Like I said...I was bored. Lol.

If you look back through this thread some people have posted images of light and dark grey covers. In fact on p2 I think there are both. I have the light grey and it is very nice. A close (though not identical) match for the naked antenna. The images I am talking about show the polished case.

Haha love it!

The yellow screws on the black case looks awesome... I wish I could buy this case.. but the only operator in my country that provide fast 3g speed have a poor singal and in many areas I have to deactivate 3g to get 2 bars.

A few pics of the matte clear top with polished red bottom (click on each image for full size).

 

[Macvy Ricky]

what screen protectors are you guys using?

Cool Jon! We can kiss earphone adapters goodbye!

For benefit of others who's considering to do likewise, here's the modification I've done. Disclaimer: It's a relatively easy task cutting away the black plastic, but do it at your own risk!

Also, I initially had some issues removing the screws from the case using the included allen tool, probably due to over-tightening. Fortunately, managed to grab a dedicated allen screwdriver, which makes loosening the screws a breeze!

just wonder where did you get the screwdriver? my allen key is wearing out so i'm desperately searching up and down in the web but couldn't find it at all

Last time Jacob and I discussed both of those topics, it was stated that he hoped to have both of them ready to go by middle to end of this month (February). I'll see if I can talk with him about it again this weekend and post if anything has changed.

How about the black chrome ?
