My screen doesnt sit flush with the edges of the phone and I am wondering if this is a common trait of the phone.
At the top left of the screen it actually does sit flush. If I run my finger across the screen to the left and off the edge, I can't feel any edge.
Anywhere else on the screen, when I slide my finger across the screen and off the edge I can feel the lip of the edge .
Its as if either the top left of my screen is sitting out more than it should, or the rest of my screen is a bit too far in.
Is your screen flush with the edges?
Mine's recessed all the way around.

I have a tiny lip around the whole edge of the phone.
I got a lip on the right hand side of the phone. And no lip going round from the right side edge

the left side of my screen is flush, the right side has a lip. It bothers me sometimes.
I don't think screen is gonna fall out. It seems fitted tightly
I got a little groove on the screen at the bottom so I could pop screen put then pop it back in.
Don't think ill bother tho just in case lol

Mine is the same way. I considered returning it but decided against, since it was pretty minor and didn't affect functionality.
i've a gap on the right but nothing on the left, the "doubled" lip at the top and bottom bothers me a bit more i think

Guys, look at the casing. The screens the same height all around (and this is on purpose for reasons such as setting it face down on a table), but the casing is different. On the sides vs bottom.

That wouldnt explain there being an edge sticking out on the right side of the phone but not on the left side

Any particular reason why you chose the clear instead of the smoke?

I wanted the back to be more visible. But this case shows the back perfect but no sparkle effect. Much like the poetic atmosphere case just not uneven and blotchy like the atmosphere case is.

You can clearly see the Nexus and LG logo, but cannot see the glitter flakes.
The TPU part is all matte, not fully/partially glossy like most others.
The buttons are a bit mushy, so I cut a slit underneath the power and volume buttons for a slightly "clickier" feel.
I'm not sure if you can see in the picture, but the top and bottom of the front lip is higher than the sides of the front lip.
The lip is low enough on the sides that I'm not bothered by it when swiping from the sides of the screen.
Cutouts are all perfect.
man...i really like how both the clear and smoke look. can't choose!!
how it's hard to remove/to put back on?
The case is very easy to install and remove. If you are familiar with tpu cases, this one is just slightly more difficult because it seems like a more rigid tpu.
You won't have any difficulties.
I also have an XO skin on the back, and the smoked plastic does not stick to it.
No "waterspots" are created.
The case did lift my front, full cut XO screen protector.
I recommend a case fit version or those regular hard plastic ones that doesn't cover the entire glass.
Thank you all so much for posting this case. I've been looking for one like this for months. Just ordered the clear one.

Good choice. Great case BTW it has great protection and doesn't push my screen protector back at all. I have a BSE case optimised protector.

Nice looking case, but is that a stress crack that's appearing near the camera cutout?

It is a slight imperfection from the molding process. It is noticeable in direct light, but has not bothered me enough to request a replacement. It would take a good amount of impact to break or crack this plastic. The surface is completely smooth where the imperfection is. Ebay cases..... you get what you pay for....

I left my phone in the back pocket of my blue jeans, and when I took it out I discovered that my jean dye had stained the phone!
The metal was easy to clean off, but the white plastic casing looks to be permanently stained blue.

This is what happens when you dye plastic.
When I buy jeans with a dark wash, I wash them with my other jeans like 3-4 times before I even wear them. I've "dyed" plenty of other clothes this way.

I have heard that stains can be removed with a Magic Eraser - it is an american thing, try using a pencil rubber or similar
** Checked Amazon UK and similar and they are readily available in UK too
I did the same thing, I used a laptop cleaning wipe thing. Its cleans of in seconds, don't worry
My white bands have turned yellowish. Any tips for that?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Try cleaning with some isopropyl alcohol.
Try rubbing it really hard with a wet q-tip. I tried using a silver sharpie marker (permanent) on the bottom of the phone on the white to see what it would look like all silver, but the marker was blotchy and I didn't like it. So I just kept rubbing it really hard with a wet q-tip and after a few minutes it was all over. Used about 7 q-tips.
this is why I chose to get the black version. I figured the white plastic would look awful in a few months.
Tough call. I was going for white as if I chip it, black would look worse.

Just don't have a leaky pen in your pocket, the ink does not come off the plastic. Not quickly anyway.

May not be the case, I have black One, it seems the coating holds up quite well. And remember, even if it gets scratched, you can always use a black marker to cover the exposed silver, but on silver One I don't know if you can do this.

Hey, i've noticed that the earpiece on my s4 scratches way easier than on my s3. It's due to the fact that it is slightly more raised off the front glass than on the s3. Is anyone else noticing small scratches on the earpiece?

Same here,
The chrome like ring around the earpiece easily scratches off

Don't try. It should scratch easily with reuglar use..lol im also seeing it scratched in alot of review videos if you look closely...in my opinion the earpiece on both the s3 and s2 were less sratchable...

Yep I got a scratch already on the metal cover for the ear piece. I also notice that the second and third little hole (from left to right) seems to be clogged or a metal part just underneath - oh an the last one too. I even attempted to unclogged one of those holes with a very sharp pin and that's when I notice they are not clogged. Those holes look just look clogged but it's just components under the grill.
I got massive scratches on the first 3-4 days of use on the camera metal ring. It should be made from the same material on the sides.
Same here also got scratches on the camera grill!

I was walking down the street. Get a notification. Go to pull it out of my pocket. Snags my coat and slides right to the sidewalk. Only dropped two feet at most cuz I kinda fumbled it with my other hand. Quite irritating as there is no way to fix it but to find a new chassis or buy a new device. I'm usually so careful. Never dropped a phone before. Seriously ever. I'm super ocd about the condition of my devices. I dunno if I can handle looking at the little dings for as long as it takes to afford a new device/parts. Might post pictures later if anyone cares to see the results of a standard pocket to concrete drop. Luckily no cracks or scratches in the glass. Tiny dings and tiny tiny scratches on the back.

Any scratch on Front + Back screen? (With Protector/ case)? Picture would be great and thanks for sharing.
I did not have a case on it at the time. There was a small ding on the front glass but removing the OEM film cleared that up. The rear has a few tiny dings and itty nitty scratches. The aluminum frame has a couple dings. Nothing that most people would crap about but most of us here at xda are kinda nutty about clean devices. I'll post photos as soon as my wife comes home.

i could see it happening easily enough myself. this is the first phone iv had with a shiny back on it. my last phone was a cheap samsung so the plastic makes it easier to grip. it would be even worse with cold hands id say. ill probably try and get some skin for the back of it when they are out, something with a bit of texture on it would be better. and it would cover the logo too!
what does the screen feel like with out the screen protector on it? its just regular glass? and did the logo come off?
The logo did come off. Its kinda cool. The glass underneath feels harder and less slick I guess. It's hard to explain but the glass underneath doesn't grab fingerprints and oil and dust as much as the film did. Also when there are finger prints and smudges you can't see them as much when the display is on. I took the film off my xperia ion as well.
