Man bags are awesome! I love it when guys carry man-purses.

I love the snap cases cause they protect the device while allowing full use of it. I just got this case off ebay. This one is identical to the very first case I bought for my old mogul, so there's some sentimentality there :)

What if I just carry a fanny pack and put my arm through it instead of around my shoulder. Kinda like a purse but still a fanny pack.
Would you think less of me.
LOL....
I should put my original tp case ups for grabs... I paid like 20 buks for it and have no use for it.

As often as I have been flashing ROMs lately, I think I am going to have to do this to my case this weekend. Now, wasn't the rule "Cut twice, measure once?"

Yes... and that's a 1.6 inch drill bit by the way. lol.
Just eyeball it.

Here;'s how to match up the hole perfectly.

Take off back case

Plase masking tape on phone so that it covers the reset button and the long edge matches up with the edge of the case where the back cover meets the rest of the phone, and where the top of the the tape goes to the bottom of the vol buttons.

Poke a hole/use a sharpie where the reset button is.

Pull off tape carefully

Put back cover back on.

Take the tape and put it back on the phone, matching the edge to where the back cover meets the phone and the end of the tape is right at the bottom of the vol buttons. Basically, exactly where the tape was when the cover was off.

You now a have a perfect guide to drill right on top of the reset button.


Or yo ucould just go to a T-Mobile store and swipe a back cover :)

This is awesome! Thank you so much for diving into this "experimental" project. Turned out AWESOME! Now I need to find someone with some skill doing this stuff!

wow i did this as well, and just seen this, I love when the phone locks up not having to take everything apart

Re: SPRINT TP2 + Drill Press + 1/16 Drill Bit = Soft Reset No Case Removal
 

I too did this to my phone, I did it because I installed a ROM that kept locking up my phone and the only way to get it functioning again was to reset it. I got tired of taking the cover off every time so I drilled a whole in it too except I used a drill bit with my hand and not a electric drill...

Pretty handy

But you could just install a software mod that soft resets the phone.







:grin:


KIDDING! Nice work on the hole, I think I will be doing that myself when I get home from the road. I hate having to take off the damn back cover when I get a hard freeze.
