Has anyone tried using these in the SUPCASE Unicorn beetle case? They're very similar and I just got one. can't wait to try it out. Problem is color prints are expensive in my area and I don't have one at home, so if anyone will be kind enough to let me know if this can be done, i'll be grateful :)

TIA

template size

hello !

i opened the template in PS 6 and when i print a blank one its seems to be shorter from the case

i didn't change the ratio or size

any clue what i can do ?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ehcool:
Its a scaling issue with windows, you need to export it as a PDF before printing
[Nexus 5 Accessories] havy15:
Can we just save as PNG and then use Microsoft word to print it ?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ehcool:
I believe that would also work haven't tried it myself though
[Nexus 5 Accessories] f1ip:
forgot to ask, What's the Filetype this needs to be saved as in order to be printed from the kiosks. I think they accept jpg, bmp, and tiff extensions.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Seattleite:
When you (ehcool) print from a kiosk, what file format do you take them in? I've found a kiosk nearby, I just don't want to bang my head with file types. Thanks again!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ehcool:
All mine are in good old JPEG format if that helps
[Nexus 5 Accessories] vaibhav.ravi:
anyone? would love these in my case!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Semero:
Still can't print from the new template correctly, tried a blank one and with images, exported to .pdf and all but it doesn't fit.

It has the same width but it's longer
[Nexus 5 Accessories] METDeath:
I had to resize the template to 97% of it's original size, this was with PS7.0, so ymmv.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] idan357:
stiil same problem

ive yryed to save it in pdf format still same problem,

can you please tell me in witch version yo made the template ?

ill try download it
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ehcool:
Of Photoshop, I highly doubt that that is the problem but I'm running CS5
[Nexus 5 Accessories] TonyTurboII:
I tried to print some off at a photo kiosk today, they ended up being too small. Wish I had a color printer at home.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tro11:
Same here. I just printed a few at a kiosk and they ended up being about 1cm too small. Not sure why they shrunk.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] LuisLAN:
Thank you for your work in this and for all your help to everybody

I've printed a few 4x6 in a Kodak kiosk today and the prints end up being smaller.

If it matters I used CS4 and saved the templates as full quality JPGs. Is there any adjusting that needs to be done to the scale of the pictures in the Kodak machine?

[Nexus 5 Accessories] ehcool:
This is interesting well you have all the sizes right and i use the same method but I'm not sure why its scaling wrong when printed

These look like templates for the ringke fusion, also cool designs
[Nexus 5 Accessories] urinsane:
ehcool - What graphics program did you use to create the template? Was it just a matter of scanning the case or included template and adjusting in PS, or did you create it from the dimensions?

Just curious :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ehcool:
I used a Photoshop CS5 and it was a bit of both when it came to the method, I did take measurements but i used a scanned in version of one of the backplates that come with the case to get the shape and camera placement right.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] idan357:
i have the same resize problem

i tried saving it in other formats and it didn't help

this is what happened when i open the template in PS6 its not aligned like the picture in the first post.

View attachment 2536163

notice upper left side and bottom

thanks !

if it matters i have HP 6500
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Wolverin382:
No, is for Spigen just don't make space for unnecessary parts, I will upload another picture how it see

And easy way to get and cut

Enviado desde mi Nexus 5 mediante Tapatalk
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ehcool:
Yes, The changes you see are nothing to do with Photoshop in this new version of the template, the headphone cut out and bottom were removed or edited so they could not be seen when the backplate is in the case
[Nexus 5 Accessories] idan357:
but still when i print it its to small :confused::eek::confused:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Pekempy:
Another one whose backplates are too small for the case :/

Here's a picture of it over the top of the template which came with the Spigen Ultra Hybrid case.

I outlined the obvious places where it doesn't fit

http://i.imgur.com/LNVlm4F.jpg
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ehcool:
They fit fine when there in the case with the phone and yes i know there smaller than the supplied backplates
[Nexus 5 Accessories] xatillo:
Hi guys, u can make me one with this picture??

if you could change the background to black.....
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jeimygirl:
So glad that someone came out with this. Now to figure out what I want. I currently have the. Nexus logo painted so it's outlined in red and and nexus colors in the center. Wonder if I can make one and try to cut out the nexus

The Breaking Bad ones look awesome too. I was just in Albuquerque this week and saw some sites.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jeimygirl:
Anyone tried to cut out the nexus off of their template? Probably too hard.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] TonyTurboII:
Not even close when printed from a kiosk. About 3/8th of an inch too short.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Pekempy:
I'm considering extending the bottom and printing from a B&W printer repeatedly just to get the size right before using a kiosk.

EDIT:

I have edited the template and measured it using Photoshop's ruler tool.

It is slightly over the height (by about 0.5cm), but that can be trimmed down after printing and sizing, preferable to not having enough picture, no?

Spigen Ultra Hybrid Template (Taller)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ehcool:
Oo your using the old version of the template download the new version from the OP, I added a few tweaks to solve this issue

Thanks for your post, Everyone should be updated to the new version

Good work but you used the updated template which already had these Issues fixed
[Nexus 5 Accessories] timvdlinde:
Woow that colors, whaf did you do?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Pekempy:
Using that template before I edited it, mine were still short. I used measurements from the spigen shipped back plates and measured them in Photoshop using the ruler tool. I'll see how my next ones print out, but before the edit mine were still short/thin
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Jeimygirl:
I painted the back and then whipped it off with alcohol. The nexus is engraved out then they placed stickers in the engraved holes. So when you wiped it there is a grove the paint stays in.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Seattleite:
Just downloaded the Kodak kiosk app, went to my local Target, and got 2 prints made up for .50¢(.25¢/each.)!!! Much better results! Print out is slightly larger than the stock templates, but I just lay the stock template on top, and trim using an exacto. I use gimp to create mine, so that may be where any size change comes in. Also, I'm using the very first template posted. I know there's a newer one, so I may try that for my next batch.

Thanks again ehcool!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dODo_gooner:
hi,

I used the updated template, but it seems the camera hole is misaligned with the hole in case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ehcool:
Are you sure your updated because that was a problem with the original template
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ISDP:
Heh, i just ordered the Case.

Already made a quick design :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dODo_gooner:
Yes, I compared it with the template I got with the case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ehcool:
The template is slightly smaller than the ones that came with the case so there will be some errors when compared to them but it all fits fine when placed in the case with the phone, As long as you do not experience any scaling issues
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dODo_gooner:
Alright, I think I might be having scaling issues then. Will try and correct it. Will get back to you with the results

Kudos
[Nexus 5 Accessories] METDeath:
I also used my cutout with the tech21 case, had to enlarge the camera hole a bit, but it works pretty well. I will probably end up doing a color print sometime with my adjusted scale set to 98% instead of the 97% I used (with the new template).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dODo_gooner:
Here are a few designs that i made. Thanks a lot ehcool for the template

What paper did you use? I'm having problem when i use photo paper when i put it on the case, looks ugly when photo paper have contact on the case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] TonyTurboII:
Try using matte photo paper.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] TonyTurboII:
Is it possible you could upload a template without the camera cutout?

Ive gotten them to print the correct size, but the camera/flash cutout is not aligned correctly.

If I can get the template without the camera cutout I can trace the camera cutout from the template included in the case.

TIA

Thanks !!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Basche:
Is this with regular paper, looks good
[Nexus 5 Accessories] vaibhav.ravi:
yes, from what I understand, pdf should maintain the proper size :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Sagar4995:
got it! on a ringke case...

printed on matte photopaper.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] hamadinho:
Is the backplate will print as A4 ? I know its noob question
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Basche:
What's a good matte paper to buy, or it doesn't matter?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] TonyTurboII:
I prefer Epson paper myself, but I'm sure any will do.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Sagar4995:
any will do. i just went into the store & said i wanted it printed on a matte photopaper.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Sagar4995:
hi guys, managed to make 3 that i want but im not too sure how the size is gonna be once i hit print. anyway someone could convert these to pdf? so i dont have any size mismatch issues.

thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] yellow.ledbetter:
Thanks for the samples here folks, some of them are great.

I've added two of my mine, thanks to OP for the template.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] TonyTurboII:
If you post the original pictures I can make the PDFs. Id rather be sure they're the right size to begin with.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Sagar4995:
that would be extremely helpful of u!! i did try and print 1 of these templates (template taken from the first post) out but they were too small :crying: i hope the pdf's would fit correctly.

pls find attached the 3 pics for the cases. 1 of the pics (black with the 3 spots) needs to be turned 90 deg's.

thanks soooooooo much for the help..!! hugely appreciated!!!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] TonyTurboII:
I got them done, but they're too big to attach to a post.

if you want to PM me your email I can email them to you.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Sagar4995:
Thanks tony. Have sent u my email address. =)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] TonyTurboII:
Sent. Let me know if they work.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Sagar4995:
They work great! Printed one on paper in office right now, just to test the size. Perfect fit. Will re print all 3 tonight from the photo studio.

Cud u tell me how u did this? Did u use a different template version from whats posted in the 1st post? Im just askin so i dont keep bothering u or other ppl on the thread whenever i need a new one :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] TonyTurboII:
I followed the instructions in the first post exactly, except at the end I saved the file as a pdf. I then saved the PDF as a JPEG.

Also, Im printing at home now. I went out and bought a cheap printer just for this. I simply couldn't get things to work right at a photo kiosk.

When printing I am using the PDF version of the file.

I Find the camera cut out to be too high though compared to the Spiegen design, so I end up with a goofy looking camera cutout.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] TonyTurboII:
Heres some new ones. They're all JPEG format. Cant guarantee they'll print correctly.

A few are from earlier in the thread, redone with the newest template.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] TonyTurboII:
One more for now.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] momulah:
I cannot get this to work for anything. I have CS3 and I open template. Then open Image I want as background. I click move tool and drag and drop over template. It shows like it is kinda merged so I ctrl T to resize but I notice that it covers camera cutout. On the pic on main page it shows like the camera cutout is still there after dropping your image you want as background. I cant figure it out.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] TonyTurboII:
I can whip it up tomorrow morning, I left my charger for my laptop with Photoshop on it at work and that's when I'll get to it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ctscloud:
Was this something like you wanted?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] momulah:
Yeah but vertical and can you tell me how you did it? Were the steps I did above correct? The issue im having is it isnt being put inside the template and placed over it. Thanks though it doesn't look bad horizontal.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] TonyTurboII:
Are you clicking on the Image layer before you paste the picture?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Mononitoto:
View attachment 2557074

:cowboy:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] momulah:
Yeah, Here are my instructions using CS3 as its a little different from whats posted on front page.

1.) Open CS3 and click file to open template.

2.)Click File then open Image you want as background or drag and drop over CS3.

3.)Click template and make sure to click image layer and it is highlighted on right side window.

4.)Now click image and click the tool right above lasso and completely drag over your image until it has a segmented blinking box around the image.

5.)Click Edit at the top and copy.

6.)Now click back over template and make sure image layer is still highlighted, if it is then click edit at the top and paste. It'll correctly paste it inside the template. Hold Ctrl L to resize to right dimensions and voila. It was the only way I could get the image inside the template so if it helps one up me.

Here are a few I did!! Happy Cover Making!!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] TonyTurboII:
Heres a few more I've whipped up.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] momulah:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Enraged Medic:
So my GF and I have pretty much given up. We got CS5 on our laptop. We tried following the instructions in the OP but the background its just crazy huge when we print it out (we tried using ehcool's Breaking Bad full cast background). We even tried to just print out the template to see how that would fit with the case and the camera cut out was sitting just a little too high. Can anyone point us in the right direction regarding a YouTube how-to or something along the lines of super noob instructions? Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] LuisLAN:
I finally gave up trying to fit the template perfectly, the best solution I could find was to remove the camera cut out from it and then mark it in place after it is placed correctly on the case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Sagar4995:
true that. the camera cutout is indeed a bit too high. i was hoping i could get a template without the camera cut out, so i can trace it out myself after printing. thanks.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] TonyTurboII:
That is my plan too, if I can figure out how to remove the camera cutout from the template.

Can you share an updated template with the cutout removed?

Nevermind, figured it out.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Sagar4995:
Mind sharing tony?? Haha..
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tro11:
My prints ended up going from too small to too big. But the camera hole seemed to be the right size. So what I ended up doing was just making a design that covered the whole 4x6 print but with the camera hole correctly positioned; then placing the print face down with the Spigen examples on top and cutting around it. Seemed to work the best.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Sagar4995:
Ehcool & tony - thanks guys. Havent tried out the templates yet but what i did do was print out a card.. I think the dimensions were 13.2cms x 8cms (i forgot the exact measurement) once printed at the photo studio, the guy cut it out for me.. I then put the backplate on & traced out the camera cutout.

Ofcourse this was printed on an earlier template which already had a camera cutout.

So basically what im trying to say is, we dont even need a template.. Just set ur size measurements when printing, print it out, put it on ur phone cover, trace & cut the camera hole n ur done!! =)

PS: My cam cutouts a lil messy cos i traced the hole with a pen n accidently smudged ink a bit. Also it was 12am n id been up since 5am n just wanted to get it done n pass out ! =p

Hope this solves some printing & size issues! Gluck!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] cooooooop:
The simplest way to print at the correct size is to drag and drop the image into a new Word document. It will size itself on the page correctly and when you print it will be perfect.

If you don't have MS Word, then any other word processing application will likely work the same (Open Office, Neo Office, etc).

For the guy who asked how to print it out, the template is 1:1 so if you copy it onto a new photoshop document thats A4 sized you can with a bit of moving about get about 4 images on 1 sheet of A4
