Why paint metal?!

Did you notice that paint that used on the faceplate and probably at the back is very soft? It's very sensitive, in fact u can leave a mark even with your fingernail! I am very, very carefull with it, but still can notice some marks already. Not the end of the worls, but it's only 5 days! Wonder, how is going to look like in 3-4 months of usage. :shock:
Looks like that frontplate is metal, so why even bother to paint it?
Otherwise, device is very well buit, solid, without any loose parts etc.

In ur profile says that you have an XDA II anyway ,frontplate is from plastic not from metal at all it's just painted with metal :S, if your talking about the Blue angel device I know nothing about it materials but it will remain plastic as they first created the 1rst loyal xda..

covers
The jam/compact has a metal front cover, metal battery cover and a plastic cover around the camera lens..
Why? do they do that on purpose? lol Save weight?
i think the compact is lets scratch prone then the jam (seems differen paintjob).
I was thinking of having it professionally painted black, but i think the plastic part will cause it to be not perfect.
hmmm
:twisted:

Is the possible metal will block the signal if use it as the pastic cover on the back?
I don't believe HTC use plastic because of keep lower cost or keep lower weight. It's just a small piece of material!

right
could be because the antenna sits there hmmm
would be cool to know for sure
;o)

From all the posts I've seen regarding this issue, it does seem that the MDA Compact has a better paint job. I can't find any scratch on mine, even though I use the case that came with it and some ppl were complaining that it scratches the phone.
(I even used a sugar cube to remove the T-Mobile logo and did not scratch the compact!)

Are you guys sure that the MDA compact is painted differently to the Imate jam?
This is probabky the final issue in my decision on which one to buy. I'm ready to place my order any minute now.

I cannot confirm that. It's just an impression. But I can confirm that rubbing the T-Mobile logo with a sugar cube did not leave a single tiny scratch. I can also confirm that I do not hae any trace of a scratch on the MDA Compact even though it's coming in and out of my standard case all the time!
There are some ppl around who had both the Compact and the JAM. Any comments from these guys?

compact
my compact is also scratch free and i don't use a cover and i am not that careful with my phones ;o)
it is just a gues but when i compare pictures it seems to me that they are different of color etc and they scratch/chip stories are about the Jam..
if a simlock doesn't matter go for the t-mobile one.. is cheaper too.
:twisted:

The T-Mobile Germany ones aren't sim-locked.

I wish I could say I had no scratches....
I had a SDE (small drop event) not long after I got mine....I am just happy everything still works perfectly.......
To be honest, I think the standard case is sh.t as there is no corner protection if a SDE occurs.
I look forward to getting a quality case from pielfarma of vaja or whatever but now I have a nasty scratch. I would appreciate any advice on removing it..????
The idea of pro paint job in a darker metallic grey appeals a lot...anyone know where you can get this done ????

iMate Paint Job?
Hi
I've had the JAM since the 8th of December and have had no issues with the paint job. The case is a very basic job which doesnt compare well at all with those supplied with the XDA and the XDA 2 (iMate seem to have cut corners a lot with this particular unit, skipping the docking station and giving us this el-cheapo case, as well as using cheap plastics for the side panels), but I havent had any scratches from using the case. My phone is out of the case whenever I'm static, so thats quite a bit of exposure.
The problem I've had with the device's finish is that the panels dont seem to fit together very well - mine's quite creaky. Definitely doenst feel like a $700 phone...
Cheers
Sands

my unit built very well, really feels like a one piece device in fact.

THE PAINT OF MY XDA II MINI IS COMING OFF!!!!
wuwuwuwuu
it's at on the plastic plate edge just next to the stylus.... I think everyone's magician 's paint at that part will come off eventually if you use the stylus....

White Trinity anyone?

Can anyone, please, confirm that white Trinitys are not peeling... I would like to buy the original white housing and it's not that cheap just to find out that it peels as well.
Thank you!

I have a white Trinity for about one year and no peeling.

Thanks again! That's what I needed to hear.

Also one year no peeling with WHITE.

I have black for 3 months....and no peeling

The FD do you keep it in a case all the time, or one of the silicon type cases ( goes around the phone to protect corners and edges ) ?

No I carry it around in my trouser pocket all the time. Everywhere I go it goes. I do look after it, I never have anything else in the pocket. No keys or coins. But never in a case.
It shows no sign of the paint peeling. 3 of us at work got the same phone all black and none of them show any sign of peeling.

White trinity here, for about five months and no peeling at all, no scratch either (the white material don't scratch).

No peels, no scratches, on white ones? How come they insist on selling only black ones (HTC branded) in Europe? I really take care of mine but that is of no influence - it peels terribly. Now it looks like it got some skin disease or something. I've never seen such a problem on any other non-Trinity device ever.

Maybe because European sales executives think it fits more the local taste. Especially for male users or professionals.
But it's a matter of fact: the white one is like the plastic itself is just a kind of varnished white material, while the black one is like a thin lay of black paint pasted on top of another material. Therefore there is no way to scratch or peel the whites, while the blacks are so fragiles.

Those sales executives suck. They've never heard that, for example, Nokia makes a fortune on exchangeable covers...

Had a black one: peeling after 3 month. Had a second black one: peeling after 3 month.
Have a white one now for more than 3 month (which I bought from a guy in switzerland, not really europe in terms of political matters but geographically it's definitly europe... )
no peeling at all, no fingerprints, no (visible) scratches.
Get a white one if you can.

if somebody is interested in buying a used white one please pm.

White is perfect
Just switched to white. Perfect housing !
Go for it !

Sure is, you can buy spare parts from here:
http://cnn.cn/shop/p3600-trinity-c-277_278.html
BTW, the white case I have (From Orange UK) is actually a white plastic inner case covered with a clear plastic case, so it's not painted and therefore won't ever 'peel'

I just got my ghost armor in the mail today, it is actually front, back, and then smaller side and top, bottom pieces. I'll see about posting some pics when I install it. Not going to do it tonight, am very tired and don't want to screw it up.

Someone in the Invisible Shield post promised to post pics, but never did. I too was really curious how it looks, since I have never seen one in person.

Pictures for Invisible Shield (Full Body) on Fuze
Hi all,
Here is my Fuze that i covered with Full Body Invisible Shield. I like it, made it feel rugged and i can really put it at any surface now without worrying about scratching the sides. The four points or should i say eight points of the phone corners are not that protected. The IS has been covering my phone for almost 1 month.
I also increased the brightness and contrast of the pictures when i uploaded it so you guys could see the IS better.
I bought this so called "free lint cloth" from WalMart, but lo and behold, it's not actually lint free, it HAS lots of lint when i used it. So on the back of my Fuze, you will see a few white dots, those are the lints from the cloth. Well, lesson learn, gotta make sure it's lint free cloth
Hope the pictures help. But overall, i really like my IS.

thx for the pics - i wish someone would jsut release a decent non-glossy backcover replacement already for the fuze - i dont want to deal with protecting the back faceted stuff at all.
Do you find the screen protecter to reduce the screen sensitivity/scroll speed at all? The stock screen protector ive found to do this a little bit with my stylus input.

Looks good. I will very likely order one as soon as I get the Fuze. Your pics definitely helped me make my decision. It's hard to believe Invisible Shield doesn't have pics like that on their site, so customers can get a real look at what it looks like installed.
Thanks again!

It felt kinda weird after i first applied it, for the first week i would say, the IS feels alien sort of to the Fuze, but after that i let it cured under a desk lamp every night. During this time, i almost think about removing it and not using it, but i let it go and just wait after a few days and voila, it's really becoming the skin of my Fuze.
The screen becomes a little bit sticky with the stylus, i do have to get used to it, but after the first week, everything is good.

Eh. invisibleSHIELD doesn't do it for me. I'm ordering bodyguardz. It looks to unprecise.

Thank you so much for posting those pictures, it does worry me a bit that the corners are exposed, you would think that the corners would be the first to hit the ground when dropped but the good thing is that IS doesnt add bulk and allows the fuze to keep its good looks , leaning towords IS but have to do just a lil bit more research

would you consider bodyguardz has the most accurate precission compared to IS, ghost armor, and whatever else? I'm still trying to find a skin that is _specifically_ made for fuze and covering the corners as well.

i am thinking of getting bodyguardz.. been using them ever since
dont like Invisbile shield anymore but the back is good. front sucks
ghost armor never heard of them... might try it.
martinoverlay don't have it for fuze ):

Insible Shield in Malls
I'm in the LA area and Invisible Shield has kiosk in some of the malls. You can se/touch/feel, etc.. it first hand. I looked at it and am going to have them (they cover the phone in about 45 minutes) my FUZE.

@cyberblue
So far, none of them covered the corners >.> none that I could find. This is because it would peel at corners and come off because they are round and not dead flat straight like the diamond is. There might be later. I ordered Bodyguardz after looking at the pictures and seeing that it looks much tougher and protects MUCH more area. and the invisible shield looks like crap. It is not fit for the fuze. Looking at the pics posted by someone on this forum, You'll notice that the screen protector and the front panel covers are not curved for the fuze. They're just straight.
***EDIT***
I'm curious. Since invisibleSHIELD usually has the correct dimensions and to the looks of this picture, it seems that the OP bought a touch pro body cover instead of a fuze body cover. I think that is a camera hole by the AT$T logo. But I'm not sure. I'll pm the poster of these pictures.
Pic:

Yea,
I did buy the Touch Pro GSM version of IS. Indeed, there is a hole in my AT&T logo, the IS had hole in it, i should have just put the small IS holeto cover it , but my mistake, i threw it out and i forgot about it.

Black HTC One high-res out-of-the-box photos

My Black HTC One (32 GB) just arrived (Handtec pre-order), I saw someone on another thread requesting high resolution photos of the black model so I've taken some and dumped them in a Google Photos (Picasa) album. Free for you guys to view but please contact me for permission if you want to use them elsewhere or commercially.
This unit seems pretty good, no stuck pixels, no light leaks, no scratches out of the box. There is a very slight gap at the top but it's really nothing that bothers me and is MUCH less visible on the black unit than the silver/white. So far I'm happy, just about to root it so I can restore my Titanium Backup apps backup.

Second photo row, middle photo... my black One has exactly the same, the aluminum grill is just a tad too short, so you can feel the plastic.
And I have 2 very small dust particles trapped between the digitizer and the LCD... return time

More particles are visible in the pic but isn't it always like that when you take photos
Also this was with sunlight so the black looks much lighter, more gray.

I nearly got the black One but went for the silver in the end. Have the black iphone 5 which appears to be the same sort of material and that has nicks all over it so figured the silver would be a better looking device in 6 months. Damn sexy in black though!!! Oh and nice photos.

$4200 of Canon gear.

metal
The black is nice, but understated. The silver is real standout. I don't have Samsung but when you think of android you think metal and the ONE looks like some sort of android/terminator phone.

I received my black One as well. Received it Saturday , everything is flawless. Except.... One dead pixel, but I don't think its worth sending it back as as defects go its not too bad! Also all the issues with stock might mean I dont get it for a few week etc

Which color are you guys going for?

Hi guys, Initially i had actually opted for the z3 compact and told myself the full size z3 was just too big and although i do feel its a tad bit bigger then i would like. Iam now telling myself i would be ok with it as the screen allegedly is awesome and iam all for bigger screens ,its just a shame the whole device has to get bigger too lol
Anyways iam now contemplating on the copper or white version? Which are you guys going for? I like the copper,its different but it also looks kinda pink-ish so iam thinking maybe i should stick with the white!
Thoughts?

Black for me. I didnt get a chance to look at the new colors for Z3 in person

The black gives you that no-nonsense look..
I do agree that if the green or copper is darker, I would have opted for those as well

green and copper are awesome colors.
I like them both and thought about choosing one of them. Still I opted for black, because the risk of getting fed up with a color after a while is non existant for black

I like all the colors
silver green is really good but I can't find it and I get no chance to look at "live"

I bought mine today :0 I went for copper, They only had copper or black and the copper looked far nicer to me! It has a sort of pinkish bronze look to my eyes which prob doesnt sound very appealing but its nice! I wouldnt say beautiful but its different . For some reason i love it on the sides but am a bit meh about it on the back! Over all iam happy with the color although would have loved to of seen it in white!

I went ahead and got mine in White, had to carry the tradition over from my previous Xperia phones. Quite an upgrade from the SP though.

Good choice Iam already finding that the screen on this LOVES finger prints although i guess ye always notice these things when ye first get a phone! The display is crisp and finger prints arent noticeable once the display is on but because the glass covers the bezels ye can see them on the bezels which is sorta annoying but i can live with it ! I would imagine with the white version they would be less visible

100% ha Slightly disappointed by the display i have to say! It looks amazing but the min ye touch it all you can see is grubbyy finger prints! Its actually bugging me more then it should ha

I could only imagine all the fingerprints and scratches on the rear of the black. If T-Mobile doesn't offer white or copper I'm not buying.

I like both Copper and Silver Green but only Copper available for Z3 Dual so I ordered this color.

You can always get a transparent case for the phone so smudges won't be so prominent at the back.. but the screen, tough.. I hope I find a good screen protector that minimises smudges.

Can you guys post a picture of your copper, whites? Just curious how it looks in normal lighting conditions.
I'm also between copper and white. I think black looks nice too and gives that dark-knight feeling, but it's just too monotone for me.

Here's mine in white, used my old SP running on CM11 to take the pictures with flash... Sorry if it gives any of you the wrong perspective, but I think the flash helps bring the fingerprints out a little more visible:

You barely can see any fingerprints with the white variant of the device, but the screen is another story lol. Besides, we have a fully waterproof device, we can wash/clean it at anytime

I had the black one and it was great looking. Didn't hae too many problems with fingerprints....whenever I put it in my pocket and pulled it out to use again, fingerprints were pretty much gone. My wife liked it so much she stole it. Then I got the copper one. I really like the brushed copper on the sides but like someone else mentioned, the shiny copper back I could take or leave. Would've been absolutely sweet if the whole thing was a brushed copper aluminum. Either way, I think the black and copper are both equally appealing to me..
