Here it is. I laminate it at work using a heat laminator. Colorwise, turns out a lot better than the cold adhesive type... But the heat does seem to warp the paper a little bit. I'll see how it looks once applied to the white sticker backing. If it'll adhere to the phone without any bumps or warping, we've got a winner.
Then all I have to do is print out whatever insane and bring it to work to laminate... and I've already got the boss' ok to do so.
how much would you pay for something like this, if i left it as a "cut it yourself" kit???
if i were to ever sell a few(already had someone interested), but leave them so the final trim was left to the end user... whats that worth? i wouldnt be doing this professionally, so im not going to buy a die cutter.
that sheet above, im taking to work tomorrow, laminating and using myself... but getting more made is nothing more than clicking "print".

How much are professional companies charging for similar ones? I wouldn't pay no more then one fourth of the price for these and a lot depends on if I can get similar designs else where.
it was just a thought. most likely, i wont be selling them. they are good quality, but im not happy enough with the finish to sell them for a profit.
just a fun little hobby. they way i have my SB setup, there isnt much i can do theming-wise... so the exterior was the next best thing.
AND, i think im gonna stick with the fake cold laminate sheets. the real stuff warped the sticker a tiny bit. not very visible, unless you hold it at the right angle and look for a warped reflection. but when i run my finger over certain areas i can hear the adhesive un/sticking.

Ain't that some ****!!!
If I was apple, id sue them right now. The only problem is that they gid it wrong. They left the artificial glare on the screen. As you can see by the one I did first, I got rid of it all, so only the natural glare will shine off the glossy sticker.
