@choltzman,

Does:

.hexFront {
 border: 8px solid #000;
}

work?

3

nope. Tried it. Thanks though.

4

Also on mobile view its barely visible. Is there a away to add a media query so the grid doesn’t shrink or shrinks less?

Thanks

@choltzman,

http://jsfiddle.net/1gfm9q6u/11/

I added an extra element:

<li class="hex">
 <div class="hexFront">
 <div class="hexIn">
 <div class="hexInner">
 <div class="hexIn hexInIn">
 </div>
 </div>
 </div>
 </div>
 <div class="hexBack">
 <div class="hexIn hexInIn">
 <div class="hexInner">
 <p> backside </p>
 </div>
 </div>
 </div>
 </li>

Then changed some css:

.hexInner {
 position: absolute;
 visibility: visible;
 outline: 8px solid transparent;
 background-color: #fff;
 display: flex;
 justify-content: center;
 align-items: center;
 width: 100%;
 height: 100%;
 box-sizing: border-box;
 border: 8px solid red;
 overflow: hidden;
 transform: skewY(-30deg) rotate3d(0, 0, 1, 60deg);
}

.hexInIn {
 border: 11px solid red;
 visibility: visible;
 background: transparent;
 width: 96%;
 padding-bottom: 114%;
 transform: rotate3d(0, 0, 1, -60deg) skewY(30deg) translate(-2%, -2%);
 margin: 0 2%;
}

You can copy and paste to add this to add the new element, replace the ‘.hexInner’ css and add the ‘hexInIn’ css to the bottom of the css file.
