Has anyone managed to remove the ugly Cincinnati Bell decal logo off their vibrants? If so, how did you go about doing this?
LOL, I've seen that logo and its substantially more obnoxious than any other logo I've seen. I can't remember exactly but I think its up at the top alot like the T-Mobile logo is just ALOT BIGGER(a pic might help maybe?). If it is then I know the Otter Box case covers up that whole section. It will still be there but at least you won't have to look at it anymore. Good luck!
Hi very likely I will be getting Samsung vibrant what do you think of it

lol, Yup thats what I was thinking. I saw one in person once and that was the first thing I noticed, the gawd awful logo!
- have your tried some sort of paint thinner? maybe goo-gone? be careful tho
- seriously google "samsung vibrant otterbox" images, its a great case and it will cover that area completely.
I removed my CB logo with a razor blade and bit of patience.

Meh. It's harmless, and I've barely noticed it was there since I got my phone a couple months ago.
Why risk possibly damaging the phone or the gorilla glass?

Two reasons - the screen protector bubbles around it and two; everyone and their cousin asks you why there's a sticker on the front of your phone.
A co-worker removed his with his fingernail and a CreditCard.

Comes right off
... if you just use a little bit of isopropanol and a kimwipe (or if you don't have that, try using a non-scratch dish sponge)
Guess what it says underneath?!? T-mobile LOL
If it's just a decal, heat it up a little (leave it on your dash) and see if you can't get it off then. Several years ago I owned a small graphics company and we used this stuff called "Vinyl Up" to remove anything with an adhesive. It's very gentle and doesn't eat paint. That said, it's a little expensive in this context.

I've dropped mine countless times, including off the top of my truck onto asphalt. And off the top of a bunk-bed at camp three times. I've dropped it into the pool, got it out and it was still on . But I did have to replace the entire back housing just to get a new camera lens because mine literally fell off. And I have replaced the speaker four, FOUR times because of it blowing. And I just dropped it from about 1 foot off my chair and it cracked the lens (luckily it's not in the way of the sensor). BUT, the screen has been fine the entire time. Some scratches, but I can not believe the glass has not broken
Hopefully it can make it to July when my upgrade is due. Even though I got it on April 29, 2010. Because I used my brothers upgrade, and he used mine. So now we'll be even.

These phones are really tough. I'm surprised at the abuse mine has taken. Thrown at an above ground pool, thrown at doors, thrown out of a moving car!!!! The last one was with the case on (thank God) and the only thing I've had to replace was the camera housing (knock on wood)

What's sad is that just earlier that day (the day it chipped the screen in a few places), I was on Amazon buying a screen protector and I had put a silicone case in my cart but I removed it because I thought, "I've had this phone for 3 mos and I haven't dropped it.....why buy a case now?"
2 hours later.....BAM......fml.

Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Well, unless there are some with anti finger mark technology that I've never heard of before, you'll never eliminate then all together.
But, certainly the ones I've used in the past and use currently, although the prints aren't as noticeable, they are still there and need the screen still needs wiping.

The Zagg InvisibleShield does a very good job eliminating fingerprints, but of course, you can't get rid of them entirely.

No, click on InvisibleShields at the top. Go to "Browse other devices". On the right of the page there will be three drop down boxes. Select "Cell phones" in box 1. "Samsung" in box 2. Then in box three scroll down. You will see two Galaxy Notes. European and US. The N7000 is the European / International model.
I have bought the Case Mate HD Screen Protection Kit - Anti-Fingerprint Scratch Resistant Film. The fit was great and it drastically reduced marks from handling. It achieved this, though, at the expense of clarity. I for one could not use it for more than a few days. I went for a clear SGP and although more fingerprint prone at least the image is not fuzzy.
I have the otterbox commuter, it's always on. Tonight I took it off to clean it and found this. Is anyone else getting this, I was thinking maybe a random heat spike. I honestly don't recall any blunt force throuought the day. I have NO idea how this could have happened

ouch man, that super strange.
You would think a dent that severe would have some mark on the case.
The metal is pretty strong. Definitely had to be some pretty significant force to cause that.

Your lucky it didnt hit your camera lens like a dozen other people on here.... lol @ all this talk of damage and nobody did it themselves... heat caused all of them... heat caused the aluminum to warp.
Dude engines are made out of aluminum.. I doubt your phone got hotter than a car engine and warped.

Seriously I know metals expand in heat but up to that point? Never and I am good with physics and chemistry I know that an aluminum 1 meter width at max could only expand by 2mm if heated @100 degrees celsius but this?

Hey there, long time lurker here but now I really need your help. I managed to drop my Nexus 4 this morning from about 3 foot onto lino flooring in my bathroom. It landed smack bang on it's back and the back glass is shattered.
Are there any cheap solutions to repairing this? I saw some glass on the bay for about £20, I don't know how easy it will be to repair though. Also thought about getting a skin from dbrands and just sticking it over it, hoping it holds.
Thanks, Ben.
I guess there aren't any alternatives.

their are 2 options you will find the one with NFC with be more expensive if you dont use NFC get the one without it and i got one for a friend off of ebay just search" nexus 4 back housing".
As far as buying a new back, I've heard a lot of people going on eBay, but where you get it is up to you.
As far as how to replace it once you obtain a replacement back, check out this thread. It has pictures and a nice step-by-step guide on how to do it. Scroll down a few posts and the OP also tells you where he got his replacement from.
Call LG
LG charged me $69.00 to replace the back glass.
Personally I'd save myself some money and time and go with a dbrand skin. The carbon one actually looks very nice on the N4 IMO (look at Taylor Martin's posts on www.pocketnow.com if you want to see it).

It's whether it will stay on though, with the glass being shattered and all I thought it might peel off with the shattered glass.
