I edited my post above, and each of the images slightly. I got smart about how to place the buckeye leaf decals so they're not *quite* as freehand as before. I upped the image size too (or downscaled it less, as it were) to make sure it doesn't look bad on retina displays.

Also, CentralMOBuck suggested toning down the noise a bit on the silver ones, so I'm adding a newer, less noisy version of those to this post. Not sure if I went too far or not far enough with it, but I agree they do look a bit better on my phone than the previous ones.

Since I have an iPad, I'm also working on iPad versions of these.

EDIT: After turning down the noise on the scarlet ones too, I liked those better as well. The toned down versions of those:

please dont smack me, I have a valid reason for asking, Can you make one with a black background. Sammy's AMOLED is much more battery friendly with a black background as those pixels are completely turned off.

I'll give it a try. The helmet stripe might look odd with the black on the edges possibly blending in with the background.

How do these suit you?

They look noisier than they really are once you get them on the screen of your phone. YMMV though depending on screen brightness. I imagine since you're concerned with battery life, you're keeping it pretty low anyway. I went with a slightly less dark shade of black so that the edges of the stripe didn't get completely washed out. I couldn't go too much lighter because it started to look more charcoal than black, but you can still find the edges if you're looking for them.

Silver looks much better!
