Unless they offer a matte version, it'll add a little gloss to the wrapped portions, but won't change the base color that much. And it'll feel like plastic, because, well, it's covered in plastic. It'll also be very grippy.

I've got a clear wrap on my HTC One, here's a good example of gunmetal, look around the headphone jack and USB port to see the normal color/shine of the aluminum body.

And here's how it looks without a clear skin, to give you a better idea of the added gloss:

I don't have a scratch on the paint after 5 weeks. Like new.

Only scratches I have are on the bottom and those are very slight.

I was just thinking to myself today about how happy I am with the way my finish has held up. I have actually grown even more found of my Mini, and I still prefer its look and finish over the soon to be released M Class. The S Class is "classier" looking IMO. :)

You can create the logo you want and change the writings

You can only change SX350 at startup and various logo on menus

SXmini is a registered trademark so unmodifiable

Your logo must be in black and white format "png" in 128 X 32 pixels

View attachment 401116 :D
can u help me step by step how to flash modify logo..to my sxmini..tks..

Absolutely and I take it with me everywhere looking with my aqua clone.

Couldn't agree more. And as Erieboyz mentioned...this thing goes everywhere with me. I am very impressed with the durability of the finish on this thing. I don't wear rings or keep change in my pocket, that helps, but I don't baby this thing either. Still impressed with the little bugger.

Yup, my Mini gets used every single day since I've had it. Looks and functionality, and I still think it is the best looking regulated device on the market too. I like its aesthetics better than the Zero. I am not sold on the updated aesthetic of the M class yet, I need to see it from more angles. For me the the S class in gray is like a well tailored suit, the tone, texture, and lines of it.

I'm very impressed. My wedding ring slightly scratched it but that's it. This is the best mod I ever had and the best on the market imho. Nothing compares. My brother is ordering me another one because I like it that much

I've heard several people say they like the aesthetics of the S Class better, but I honestly don't see much of a difference.

Then again, I've never seen any of them in person, so I'm not one to judge.

Well, I traded my mini for a vapor flask, just for the day yesterday. What did I learn? I have no need for temp control as I couldn't tell much difference. I honestly can't remember the last time I had a dry hit without it. lol. This is key as I prefer the look of the OG mini. Now, hopefully my mini continues to be a workhorse because if the rumors of it getting discontinued are true I would probably have to settle for the new model. First world problems I know.

Why? You can use the SX350J (M-class) in wattage mode, so it's exactly the same as the S-class. Joule mode/temperature control is optional.

How did you like the Flask compared to the mini?

At least from what I can see in photos of the M Class, the edges have been rounded out, the main body insert is partially depressed, and the texture of the finish seems smooth and glossy .. looks a little like plastic to me although I am sure it is not plastic. The M class has a "sportier" look to me, which is not bad per se, just not as appealing to me.

Its a little sad that my Mini is only two months old, and already there will be a newer version of it, and I am not done enjoying the first. At this point my interest in the M class, if any, is purely "product knowledge". If I were relying solely on " personal desire/use " I don't think I would go for it at all, but its still early so ... one month from now I could be like "OMG I'm in love!" :unsure:
