so I bought a cheap $18 china dot view case on ebay ( not the official htc one). needless to say, it broke a corner 4 days into, due to cheap plastic. they sent me another case for free. so I thought...hmmmm maybe I can do something with the old dot cover?
I have been using a SUPCASE unicorn beetle case I got from amazon. great looking and slim TPU case, btw. so heres what I did:
after taking the dot cover off the plastic back using low heat and a heat gun I measured the cut I would need to make in the side of the tpu case. trimmed it off, and smoothed with a die grinder . I trimmed off about a 1/4 " of the vinyl where its taped on, due to my supcase being clear, I didn't want to see the tape.
I applied super sticky black double sided tape and installed it to my Supcase just like it was applied to the cheap plastic back.
works exactly the same , looks great, and works with my tempered screen protector.
what do you guys think? I think I got the function/look of the dot view case, with better protection using the supcase unicorn beetle. The cover flips all the way around the back so its great to hold too.
I need to patent this.... $$$$
