Skin Case Mod

I have received so much from this forum that I decided to give my pinch of salt. Is not much, but I think it will be good to others like me.

I was looking for a case for my brand new 8125. It have to be light, compact, without a belt clip and give some protection to scratches and minor bumps. It will be used to protect the 8125 inside my jean's front pockets. I found that the silicon skin was the closest to my needs, so I got one from Ebay.

When I installed it I knew that it was perfect for me , but no access to the keyboard really started to bother me after 5 minutes. So, I took it to my work table and made a cut along the left side of the skin case and two small cuts down the edges of the case. That created a flap that allowed me slide the keyboard without taking the 8125 out of the case.

The mod took me 2 minutes to do, but 30 minutes to take the corage to cut my new case. Now my case is perfect. After 2 weeks of usage the only problem that I have is that the vol control is harder to use because the flap some times gets on the way. Not that big problem anyway.

Here are some pics. Hope that this help someone.

@Equilon

It's a Cingular 8125, but I think it will work on any silicon skin case for the Wizard.
