has anyone skinned their g2 yet? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

love the stealthy all black look of the nexus, i think if you had the right color skin to cover the lg logo it would look pretty nice. was wondering if any of you guys had skinned yours yet. i think the only one ive seen available is the exoskins, but they dont have black

Thanks for this I will be ordering the brushed titanium Monday. Looks really cool

Please post pictures after you get it on! I wanted something on my phone, so I went and had them custom cut a Zagg InvisibleSHIELD. Doesn't look as good as I'd hope so I'm looking for something else.

as I love the look of carbon fiber, but it won't arrive til next week. IF it looks half as good as the pic then I'll be stoked.

Did it about three hours ago. Went pretty smooth for me. The kit comes with skins for the volume rockers as well but I thought it would look better without. So far, without much time to test, I like the feel. Definitely like the look. My only worry and it's a big one, is how it will fare going in and out of my pockets.
Edit: posted 5 total pics and only one uploaded. I'll keep trying the rest.

Well, judging by your pictures, I don't see any difference so I guess I'll find out.
Edit: nvrmnd. I see I did mine differently. I went off someone else's pics and assumed there were gonna be gaps and arranged it so the chrome-ish band would show. Didn't think of covering it up.. Poo. Guess I'll buy another one.

For the final sanding I would use somethin really fine or you could even semi-wet sand it and you'll get a great finish.

Don't go throwing it around like it is! This goes for thomassafca, DeanBoro, KieranFTW and the whole host of developers who have recently been trying to make their phones beat tougher surfaces. You see, you don't need to make those kinds of tests on your devices

It works fine in bruce lee

2 things you have to do before moaning about the Xperia Z screen...

1: Make sure that you have turned off 'Adapt to lighting conditions'.
This is located Settings > Display > Brightness and then it is the check box.
2: Realise that the grey notification bar and grey soft button bar are grey and not black (unless you have the Jap version).
Once those 2 have been nailed down into your brain, then any screen issues are up for discussion.
I leave 'Adapt to lighting conditions' turned on & I think the screen looks great.
"Adapt to lighting conditions" is simply an auto-brightness setting.
Don't think it has anything to do with the issues the screen is having.
Believe me.. it's very hard for me to say..
But the truth is that the display is cloudy the moment you view it at even at a slight angle.
I geared up for this.. testing the demo phones in shops and even now, I think I can make do with it. But imagine. I have the phone laying flat infront on my desk. I'm looking at the screen at an angle and I can hardly make out the camera icon on top of my light-colored wallpaper.
Comparing with the galaxies wouldn't be correct.. but look at the HTCs. They sure look better.
I'm not gonna say that this totally sucks and I will be selling my unit off.. but one thing I sure can say that Sony put a cheap display on it (either cheap for cost-effectiveness, or to try and be the slimmest in the market with a lousier display)
I think the contrast is lower than natural. However I hope there will be some sort of tool released, sort of like get a permament Bravia Engine thing going on throughout the UI.. and that would help alot.

Yes, but most people are leaving it enabled and it suppresses how high the brightness can go. Go full brightness with it on, and then turn it off.

I think they are releasing a colour calibration tool in an update (colours do need a slight tweak). But slapping on the Bravia Engine permanently would make the contrast completely over the top compared to reality.
Phone arrived this morning and now it's back in its box ready to go back.
Yuck, what was Sony thinking with that screen. Looks like the screen from the Htc Titan only difference is the resolution.

There's only 1 thing to do:
If you don't like the screen's colour, saturation settings etc. - simply do not buy the phone, do us all a favour and stop b...ng about it in every thread.
