Get the X3CP If you dont want to hack your case up. <

He has a clear orange case - I dont think that that would really go with black, crystal, or green.

You will have to bust out the dremel and cut a hole for the LCD to sit in, then you could probably hold it in place with some hot gluie or something. <

you're going to have to cut your hole just a little bit small and finish the rest with sand paper to inusre that you dont overcut. <

if you cut it tight enough it holds well with a little hot glue,invest in a dremel(or dremel type)fro the cutting as it saves a lot of work <

well, if your selling the yellow one and goung for an crystal LE case the go with an x3cp, but if you do hold it with hotglue then just apply as little as possible and it should turn out ok..

You could always get the x3 cp, use some 2000 grade and try and get some 3000grade sandpaper, and buff/polish the grain out of it and tint it, It CAN be done but would take some effot but would be worth it in the end, then tint it

Just my opinion

Kindest Regards

i used hot glue on 2 i did.only applied a little to the bottom and most to the top as it has a lip so you cant really see it.though when i installed it i left a 3-4mm piece of plastic on the top whereas most people seem to cut straight down and not leave any plastic at the top <
