Gmasked Nokia E61i

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

As many of you know, I am a big fan of a personalized, unique look and feel of your Nokia Eseries device. I have several times written about Gmask, the company that will wrap your device in few microns thick plastic film to give it a brand new look.

Mitch had his Nokia E61i Gmasked and writes about it here. Nice looking device Mitch!

Nokia E61i - Gmasked

Sunday, September 2nd, 2007

Last year I featured several posts of Nokia E61 which had been transformed by the talented hands of Gmask employees. Gmask is the Asian company specializing in pimping just about any electronic gadget by wrapping a thin layer of decorative plastic around your favorite device.

Ericko was kind enough to share some photos of some very unique Nokia E61i.

White Nokia E65

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

Two months ago I wrote about my feeble attempt to replace the housing of my Nokia E65. My goal was to transform my Mocca Nokia E65 to a Red Nokia E65 using an original red Nokia E65 housing.

The end result wasn't what I had expected but still not too bad. Because of the complexity involved in changing the housing of the Nokia E65 I had to give up midway and ended up with a one of a kind Red AND Mocca Nokia E65.

However, there are those out there who managed to completely change the housing of the Nokia E65.

Dimi, in Australia, sent me photos of her transformed Nokia E65. It started out as a Red Nokia E65 and through some modding turned out to the below White Nokia E65 - a real beauty in my eyes.

Colours - Plum Nokia E61i

Tuesday, August 7th, 2007

Hot on the heels of the previous post, here is another example of Nokia Eseries in various colours.

Not sure whether this is a photo of a customized paint job, third party casing, a coming colour or a limited test run of a Nokia E61i.

Metal Striped Nokia E61

Wednesday, June 13th, 2007

Ericko had his Nokia E61 decorated by the talented guys at Gmask. They created a one of a kind Metal Stripe Nokia E61.

I was hoping that Gmask would have opened a store in China so that I could have had a few of my Eseries devices modded but sadly, they do not have any presence in China, nor USA for that matter. At least not yet.

Camouflage Nokia E61

Monday, May 14th, 2007

I've seen a fair number of coloured and moded Nokia E61 but nothing like this. Gelan created a unique Nokia E61 Camouflage using Krylon Camouflage Paint.

You can read about his transformation of the Nokia E61 here.

Great write-up Gelan! and excellent photos~! Thanks for sharing.

Nokia E65: Red AND Mocca

Saturday, May 12th, 2007

Filed under: Don’t try this at home

My Nokia E65 Red housing which I mentioned in an earlier post arrived. Thinking that the transformation would be as easy as when I tore apart my Nokia E61 and changed the original casing to a blue third party casing, I wasted no time and started to dismantle the Nokia E65.

The first two steps are pretty easy. Step one is to remove and replace the battery cover (duh~!).

Let The Modding Begin - Black Nokia E61i

Monday, May 7th, 2007

The Nokia E61i has just been available for a short few weeks and already we have the first example of a modded Nokia E61i.

This beautiful device was “Gmasked” (the company that wraps and decorate your device in a few microns thick plastic film) to create an all black Nokia E61i.

Thanks for the great photos Benny!

The way you can transform your Nokia E61 is only limited by your imagination. What we need now is a “money” theme to go along with this modded Nokia E61 - any takers?

Red Nokia E61

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

Let’s face it - colour sells and I’m glad that Nokia is finally picking up on that. In the meanwhile you can do something about it yourself and “visually enhance” your Eseries device just like Isaac did.

He bought red face plates for his Nokia E61 from the eBay seller Facestation.

Nokia E61 Mod

Monday, January 22nd, 2007

It's been a while since I posted photos of some sweet Nokia E61 mods. However, I plan to make up for the lack of mod pictures over the next two weeks starting off with two pictures from flexte.

This beautiful Nokia E61 was painted by a professional who usually paints motorcycles.

Thanks flexte. More Nokia E61 mods here.

White Is The New Black - White Nokia E61

Friday, December 29th, 2006

Got some masking tape and automotive grade white spray paint sitting around? Then you can do what Ritin did. He used some ordinary automotive grade spray paint to create this little bad boy.

More GMask

Sunday, December 17th, 2006

I’ve received a lot of emails after the initial post about Gmask - the innovative company that wraps gadgets in a decorative and protective plastic film. Unfortunately, there are no Gmask stores in Europe or North America (yet). Until then, here are a few more examples of their great moddings.

Nokia E61 & Gmask

Monday, November 27th, 2006

If you want to pimp your Nokia E61 but don’t want to paint it or replace the face plates you could wrap it using decorative plastic film from companies such as Gmask.

Midnight Blue Nokia E61

Wednesday, October 25th, 2006

After documenting the transformation of other people's Nokia E61 for some time, the turn has finally come to me. I bit the bullet and ordered a blue case from the now famous eBay seller.

I have to say that I was a bit nervous before I started ripping my precious Nokia E61 apart. However, just as many others have reported before me - it was really a straightforward procedure. No problems at all. Having said that, please be aware that you will void your warranty by performing this surgery on your precious Nokia E61.


I followed Andres' detailed instructions. The trickiest part was to remove the top, back cover with the Nokia logo. But even that wasn't a problem. I just used an ordinary knife.

Putting the new case back together was easy. However, the battery latch that I received fits very tightly and as many other's have mentioned before the front, top portion feels a bit loose. I also have to say that switching to the plastic case makes the device feels less solid.

Black Nokia E61 Revisited

Saturday, October 21st, 2006

Sabesh sent me some pictures of his black Nokia E61.

The casing is the black casing from eBay and the keyboard is the OEM keyboard with black softkeys from CNN. I have to say that the the black keyboard makes the device even better looking!


Thanks Sabesh!
