Surprise, surprise. Not unlike the PBP, there's been enough interest in backplate skins for the PinePhone, that we're going to add it to the list of cool stuff to print. Since any skinning is worthless if we don't produce designs the community likes, I'm starting this poll to ask the users: What kind of skin would you like to see on your PinePhone?
I just got my resource file, but as per the PBP, I will also create and add a vector template for the PinePhone backplate to the wiki, once I've finished it.
For anyone curious, I will be aiming to make the skins a good fit for the phone + the clear case.
EDIT: This thread is about skinning the PinePhone only. I am not an employee of Pine64, I cannot help with any ideas or requests concerning future PinePhone cases. I am a member of the community with the professional knowledge and connections to help make customization through skinning a possibility and option for the community.
If you are not interested in skinning, that's totally fine. You do not need to reply or vote. If the community is purely disinterested, the lack of response/votes will be telling enough.
With that out of the way, let's talk about skins!
EDIT2: Thanks to @loefflerlabs we have a PDF vector template ready to have art dropped in! When viewing the template, it will appear empty until opened in a vector image editor. Inside are 3 layers: CUT LINES (self explanatory, typically required by plotters --just needs the swatch set according to the plotter used,) TEMPLATE (shows a thin outline of the decal shape for reference,) and ART (art goes here.)
Grab the template here.
I'll probably convert some of the PBP skin designs to phone skins, and post mockup picks here.
