What do you think everyone, Give us a rating from 1 to 5
5 that is pretty damn sweet. How did you do it

i rate it a 5 cuz its AWSOME!!! btw i have a few scratches on the battery door cover. can i polish it too to hide the scratches?
What i done was use sand paper designed for metal Or wet and dry sandpaper would also do just fine. then just use a cloth and apply metal polish to it along with the grain of the metal. took me 30 minutes and the metal polish was under £5. And it got rid of all the scratches that were on it so its a good scratch remover too
It looks good. I did this on my HD2. The only problem is it becomes tarnished, scratched and rather unsightly in no time. I often wondered if some sort of lacquer may have been the answer.
i might think of doing this later. is the door more prone to scratches after the polish?
polish it thenput on a full body protector imo
I should probably consider doing this, it looks pretty sweet, and my battery door is currently covered in scratches, and the whatever the coating that goes over the aluminum is, is starting to peel off.
Although I'm likely going to get an extended battery from Seidio, so I'll probably hold off until then, since I'll be getting a new battery door with it.
Might try something like this too. My G2's battery door has the stock clear coat plastic flaking off. I've started to just peel all of it off so I can do something else to it.
i done it a week ago and its just fine no scratches at all, if im not sure the coating they put on the battery door is what scratches because once i had taken it off the scratches disappeared. its like a mirror if you put enough metal polish on it i notice people admiring themselves in the back of my phone when im texting
Should try clear plastidip to coat the polished door.

Ya thats my biggest complaint. That film is peeling off my back cover also. If i could get that off i would be a happy camper! Not really looking to go to the hardware store to buy **** though. Would rather use some type of household product if that is even possible

I remember when this was done a while back, it's still pretty cool. I scraped off my coating when it started peeling. Just use something like copper or a hard plastic so it doesn't scratch the metal. Not sure, but something like acetone should be able to soften the coating and remove it.
By the way - how in the hell did you remove the 'G2' on there? It's recessed just as much as the 'HTC' and I wouln't grind the plate down that much personally. So how did you do it?
EDIT: Took a second look and saw the 'with htc sense'. No wonder it doesn't say G2 lol.
GREAT i rate u 10 i love it
All together this cost less than £5 and a little elbow grease. I would of made a step by step guide or video if I knew anyone else wanted to do it. Because it's very simple to do.
Looks nice!
I customized mine using the laser cutter at my university. I lasered part of a maze that I generated using some algorithm we had to code as an assignment in the protective film (sadly, the laser isn't strong enough to really engrave the cover). It does have quite a few scratches after six months sadly. Maybe I'll buy a new one on ebay and make something else

this. the screen is a beast honestly. I'm actually having second thoughts about buying cases for it (one leather, one silicone gel). it's so light and thin it belongs in a pocket and I wouldn't put anything else in that pocket (change, keys, etc). In my opinion, for myself, I would never ever cover it up with a film and diminish the clarity, brightness, or touch sensitivity, however minuscule the difference might be my two pennies
ive tried to scratch it with keys and it wont happen same with a pocket knife.
this thing is TOUGH
I actually use the one that came with the Phone. U know, the one on the phone when it ships. It works great. I wash them in water, and shake most water off. I lay it on the phone with some water still on there. Not a lot duh, but enough to moist most of the sheet. I then use my credit card to flatten it nicely. It's great. And free. Oh, i also cut off the top right tab.
personally, I like riding bareback when it comes to phones if you're careful it's totally worth it.
99.9875% of the time the screen protector isn't necessary but then there's that ONE little thing that puts a scratch across the middle of the screen and it bugs me for the rest of the time I own the phone. That's why I use screen protectors.

Badass. I had to cut mine to fit inside of the slight chrome rim but totally worth the effort. I had the tmobile one on there and it looked like sh*t. Really degraded the screen quality IMO. Don't know why mine was over sized but it's all good now.
The video is in Japanese, but you'll figure it out.
First test...galaxy s in a bag with keys, screws, random metal, etc.
Second Text....nail / screw to the screen directly
Third Test...razor blade to the screen directly
Then they do several drop test.
I had a BestSkinEver protector on my G1 and my fingers didnt glide very well on the touchscreen. The Vibrant screen is very nice, fingers glide just great for Swype. Worried about putting a protector on it and losing this PLUS screen awesomeness.
For those who put a protector on, how does it feel/look?

I am now without a protector. I tried many times to get the finger print smudge off the stock shield but it just wouldn't come off. (on the sticky side, that touches the glass) I am gong to get the clearfreak.
What needs to be protected is that metal edge. I dropped my phone ONE TIME on concrete from KNEE LEVEL and now all four corners of the metal have ding in them. Under that cheap layer of gunmetal coloring is Chrome, wouldn't be surprised if the gunmetal just wears off from everyday use eventually.
On another note the screen and battery cover were 100 percent undamaged. Tough plastic surrounded by cheap metal, if the plastic is so fancy and strong, why didn't they just make the whole outer shell out of it? Geniuses.

That video was PAINFUL TO WATCH!!!! Good to know that our phone is pretty damn scratch resistance other than being struck by a direct blade attack as shown in the video. The guy kept commenting on how strong the Glass is. In the mix bag test, he says that the glass is clear. The pastic areas were scratched but the glass was okay he says. Btw, it's Korean.

pray that the phone starts making awful noises and constantly reboots itself.
Then you have a reason to take it to Samsung repair centre.

Indeed, and I'm waiting for mines, which should be coming in this week. But even a case is not gonna protect the camera or the metal frame, but I guess it will lower their height a little bit due to the higher case.

Hopefully it will be enough to alleviate my fears on setting the device down and getting it scratched(as well as when its in my jacket pocket with who know what else)
The DAY I bought my Galaxy Note it was put inside a protective pouch...
Been 2 weeks and looks like it was just unboxed...
I had the Galaxy S for one year before upgrading to the note. I carried it without screen or body protection on many pants pockets, backpack pockets, carried it to the beach, mountains...
After purchasing the Galaxy Note I gave it to a friend, and after a good cleaning, it looks as new. The screen is absolutely untouched. It only has a scratch on a corner of the metal on the border after a fall on concrete.
I don't know if the Note can endure this, for the moment I'll be very careful with it.
I just felt this is exaclty what is going to happen the moment I unboxed the phone. My solution was putting an old (but good quality - Vikuiti) screen protector so it covers the lens and surrounding plastic and carefully cutting around it with a hooked scalpel. Works perfectly.
As Cat Stevens said: "The first cut is the deepest'
It's just a phone.
Bear in mind how lucky you are that this is even an issue in your life.
Just a reality check.
I just expect that frame is gonna get scratched. Is what it is.
Hey guys,
So I've had the Nexus 4 for around two weeks now and it's too well designed of a device for me to resort to using screen protectors although I will be getting a thin case soon since it is quite slippery. I was just wondering what some of you do in order to maintain the condition of the device. I've simply been using a dry microfiber cloth - usually used on my eyeglasses - and rubbing gently until all the smudges are gone. This keeps it quite clean for 3-4 days but I don't know if that period will shorten with prolonged use. Any and all tips are appreciated, thanks in advance!
I just usually rub it on my shirt. Takes the smudges off in one wipe

After I wash/dry my hands I use the edge of my palm, the coating is great so I don't even have to do that that often.
Sounds like a pack of microfiber cloths should do just fine for the future then! Thanks guys, still welcoming other suggestions

Not fair
He guys im new and i had a question about keeping my nexus 4 clean. So when i recieved my nexus 4 i had it naked without a screen protector or case, then i decided to buy a full body xtremeguard screen protector, which was 6 dollars. They arrived and i tried putting them on the next day. They were wet installation which i didnt really like. I had to use a bowl of handsoap and water. So I installed them and tried to accelerate the drying process a little by using a blow dryer, but guess what, it really made the beautiful screen look all ugly and disoriented so i took them off and decided to keep it the way. and applied a little more water to the glass to get all the soapy residue off and dried it off a little more. The next day I noticed that when i held it in sunlight I noticed this white stuff inside the crevices in between the glass and the edges of the phone. SO whats bothering me is that i think its dried soap in there and blow drying it only made it worse. But wheat really gets me ticked off is that i wanted to keep my phone perfect and clean but that stuff is still in there and i dont know how to get it out. Its just killing me. Ive tried water, q tips, even scraping it out with printer paper but no luck. Can anyone give me ideas or help plz?? thx. IM sorry if this a very long post
Should have left the XtremeGuard on there, it takes a few days for them to dry properly and until they do, they look like a disaster.
As for the left overs, maybe a fingernail will be able to scrape it out?

Fingernail is thicker than paper. If he can't get it out with paper....Try using a needle I guess?

Compressed air, but be careful not to blow it to closely.
As far as cleaning the screen itself, I use monster LCD/plasma TV cleaner I got at best buy. Its a little pricy but I've had it for 3 years and works wonders on all my phones, even on screen protectors.
I do not have any advice as far as what to do what the residue in the screen your talking about.
I have a screen protector on the screen and have been thinking about removing it lately. I had a convo with my neighbor who never uses a protector on his phones. He never has gotten a huge scratch on gorilla glass, and to be honest I rarely ever change my protector and prob sacrifice more clear screen using one vs not...

Get yourself a small camera lens puffer (like a rocket). Great for getting dust and lint out of nooks and crannys, but not enough force to damage anything nor any chemical agents (like in canned air).

Lol... It is a bit of an Americanism & joke, although one that is seated in truth...
Duct tape in America is used to affect many repairs, from simple tears in paper, to re-attaching bumper to automobiles & securing trunk lids (what the EU calls the boot). It is used to make or repair wallets, shoes & even for furniture repairs, not just for attaching ducting to plenum boxes or GRD cans.
The joke comes in because it is said that a redneck (slanderous term for blue collar worker or laborer) can fix anything with duct tape, & that if it can't be fixed with duct tape, then 'F' it, it's broken.

This may work well if you live somewhere cool year round, however, if you live anywhere its fairly hot and/or humid during the summer - then you know what happens to electrical tape. When it heats up - you lose the bond, then the tape will slide around leaving a sticky, slimy mess all over your phone/hand/pocket. Just a heads up for anyone looking to do this. If your phone lives indoors, however, I'm sure its a non-issue.

Not sure if u also considered the fact that phones can heat up. My m7 gets pretty hot sometimes like when gaming and charging (probably shouldn't) don't know if the m8 heats up though but then again where I live its 110 during summers, was 107 this week

Does the Xtremeguard back skin wrap ONLY around the back, or does it wrap around to the sides as well? I'm ideally looking for a skin that ONLY covers the back, which is for some reason surprisingly hard to find with the M8. Most skins wrap around the sides too. The idea I had was to use it with an edge only bumper case, and when a skin wraps around to the sides, it interferes with the fitment of the case. I had a aluminum edge bumper + back skin on the M7 and loved the setup.
