looks like we have the first report the of kickstand wearing out, damn only been a month too :/

I haven't had this issue. My kickstand is pretty solid and hasn't popped out accidentally once.

hmm, i tried to shake my phone and 'whip' it to try to get the kickstand to fall out.
nothing.
and i fiddle with it...just like i do with the battery covers on remotes etc
i open my kickstand by pushing on one end so the other end pops out.

I think you have to use the version floating around the forums. IT has been a few weeks but there is a thread discussing it and the link to the file works fine.

It just seems lose maybe I should take it to sprint and make them tighten it

did you use a black marker

try using dye..
i remember someone doing this for the touch pro 2.. i have the phone before and the desire z feels the same so it might work
they used dye to add color to the matte part of the cover

I really need to know how this is done. I've had 3 G2's cus they keep changing a yellow color. If it was black I wouldn't have to worry about this.
Please share.

Same here. I got the gel case on mine as soon as I dropped it the first time and don't take it off except to clean the dust off. Still looks mint except the one corner of the phone where it fell on.

For the final sanding I would use somethin really fine or you could even semi-wet sand it and you'll get a great finish.

Can you post better pics...i want to do this.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

Looks good bro, even though mine has been in the case since day 1 I think I still might try this. I always wondered my they only made the G2 in silver...

I don't intend to be mean or anything.........but maybe wash your hands more often? Had mine since launch and there is no discoloration.

Remove case

How hard would it be to remove the white on the phone I want to replace mine because of scratching on

I can't answer from experience, but here's a video on how to take the phone apart.

I don't know about you, but i'd just cover it up with an Otterbox case rather than taking the phone apart. It's a pretty complex task to achieve.. Good luck, if you do manage to do it maybe you could document it somehow for the community

has anyone skinned their g2 yet?

love the stealthy all black look of the nexus, i think if you had the right color skin to cover the lg logo it would look pretty nice. was wondering if any of you guys had skinned yours yet. i think the only one ive seen available is the exoskins, but they dont have black

This is a nice share. Actually i am waiting for Gelaskins and decalgirl to come up with their design. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for this I will be ordering the brushed titanium Monday. Looks really cool

Please post pictures after you get it on! I wanted something on my phone, so I went and had them custom cut a Zagg InvisibleSHIELD. Doesn't look as good as I'd hope so I'm looking for something else.

as I love the look of carbon fiber, but it won't arrive til next week. IF it looks half as good as the pic then I'll be stoked.

Did it about three hours ago. Went pretty smooth for me. The kit comes with skins for the volume rockers as well but I thought it would look better without. So far, without much time to test, I like the feel. Definitely like the look. My only worry and it's a big one, is how it will fare going in and out of my pockets.
Edit: posted 5 total pics and only one uploaded. I'll keep trying the rest.

Nope. I put it in my pocket everyday. It really depends on how well it's installed on the phone though.

Well, judging by your pictures, I don't see any difference so I guess I'll find out.
Edit: nvrmnd. I see I did mine differently. I went off someone else's pics and assumed there were gonna be gaps and arranged it so the chrome-ish band would show. Didn't think of covering it up.. Poo. Guess I'll buy another one.
