Maybe you could make the glue multiple colors, give it a splotchy, splatoon kinda look

I think its pretty cool if evereything is clear and evereybody can see the ''selfmade'' look. Hotglue, wires, layers of comuterchips and electrical tape :D

I dont think i gonna use dyed hotglue but thx for the tips.

First step of the case mod.

I wanna put a complete clear display cover into the gbz case. What do you guys think its better:
A: crave the plastic flat so the screen fits direct on top of the screen
or
B: Keep a thin layer of the plastic so the clear protector not touch the screen

true but i imagine there's a huge difference in cost by making your own.

you can get a box of crayons for less than a dollar

Your images don't show up in the forum. Try using imgur or some other picture hosting site.
The syntax should look like this: (img]www.hostwebsite.com/image.jpeg[/img] The key, is that the image is a direct link that ends in your picture format (.jpeg, .png, .gif, etc.). You can also press preview before posting to see if the image appears.

Thanks!

I appreciate you switching picture hosting sites. Thanks mate!

The clear case looks really nice. Very interested in seeing how you do this. I was enticed by one, but my ocd/perfectionist made me scared of doing one in a clear case (already mentioned, I know :D).

I found this case I really wanted to do. Transparent Green DMG Shell. I just might be enticed enough by yours to do it.
