Lens protector, - Galaxy S III General

Im trying to cut out a lens protector out of my screen film but its so hard to get it there and the shape, I tried with a knife(in sweden we call them carpet knife) but it trashes the film in the corners making it bad contact too the lens, And a sissor but also is verry hard to get it out in the corners of the lens. Does any one have any tips or soloutions for this ?

Try to find a handmade shoemaker near you, he can use a tool like this one (it's called a "vazador" in portuguese) ...

In the picture all the shapes are circular, but there are other ones, too.
Another option, using a CAD software and a vinyl cutter plotter you may get a perfect result. You may find it in some glassmaking companies (they use it to build mirrors with sandblast on it), or where people does banners for cars, too.
Almost impossible to find (and harder to find free machine time for little jobs), but some small waterjet cutters also work with plastic.
Actually I believe that is easier to buy a cover.

how many of yall nexus s screens have scratches

Debating on getting a screen protector my screen
Has a couple of very small scratches on the screen but u cant really see theme on less u tilt the phone and look really close I don't know how they got there cause I
Put my phone straight into the pocket maybe the couple of times I drooped it but there not even noticeable
None. I use a screen protector because it gets rid of the smudge where the coating wears out.

I've got ghost armor on my screen, but I have some dings on the four corners of the plastic surrounding the screen. I really like the ghost armor though.

I keep mine in my old G1 pouch. I work in construction and am constantly blowing sawdust and random debris out of the pouch and off of the phone. Luckily though, the handset is still completely scratch-free... somehow.

Yes, i9020a to be specific. As far as I know there is no difference between the screen size of a SLCD and AMOLED. The length and width are the same. If you go to ZAGG, Skinomi, Bestskinsever or any other brand there is only one screen protector for the Nexus S and it's not specific to any one variant (i9020, i9023, etc).
i bought a zagg as soon as my phone came. I also bought a TPU case on ebay but the case leaves micro scratched on the back of the phone

I notice that chrome background on peal-off spots turns black after few days, so I decided to peeled off whole frame. For peeling I used my nails. It take a while, but I was very satisfied with result.
You could also try with some hard wood or plastic material, but I don't recommend metal because you can easily scratch the the chrome on the frame.

Yes, it remains black and looks even better than before.
Ok. So you have to peel the ALL the coating until you see the metalic shiny reflective part?
This really works?

Yes :laugh:, last picture shows how it looks after it's finished.
Did the same on mine a while ago. Totally worth it, but it takes time.
Wooden toothpicks are also great for the space between the screen and the frame, but i admit i used sometimes a cuterblade,... risky.
A soft eraser is good for polishing the plastic also in case of scratches.
S2
It looks great nad better than before(the original) i will do the same with my phone
Patience is the key. Do a little when you have time : you tube buffering, download waiting, girlfriend shopping when waiting outside the shop... kidding...
But you won't regret it : it should have been done like this, but, well they know... if it get destroy, maybe you will change for a new phone, a samsung one,...hmm, with the same sh***ty frame like the s3... and the s4...
EDIT: by the way, i forgot to say that for the rounded corners, the hardest part, i used the metallic part of a standard lighter. The metal can be bended and the paint on that part (so choose one with a paint coating ) is soft enough to prevent scratches...
So much fun

Chrome paint chipping off? Vinyl wrap is the answer.

The chrome paint had started to chip off on my mates old phone that he was selling so I decided to wrap it with my left over vinyl wrap. All I did is place a big piece of vinyl wrap over the screen, then used a hairdryer to mould it around the corners. I used a blade to cut around the screen and the back of the frame and finally peeled the excess wrap off.
Here are some pics.

Don't know why these came out so blurry.
Sorry I didn't take any progress pictures. Here's a picture to show how I cut the vinyl Dig with your nails first before using a blade to cut.

Or you could buy 4D vinyl wrap which is shiny http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4D-GLOSS-...6279?pt=UK_Wallpaper&var=&hash=item4d0c035327. If I were to clear coat the vinyl it would be messy and it would start flake off.

That looks nice. I have a question: how did you manage to work with the wrap in order to cut it and stick it precisely on the phone? Do you still have the length measurement of it?

The wrap needs to be a little bigger than the front of the phone, I don't have the exact dimensions, sorry.
First I put a big piece of vinyl wrap (large enough to cover the screen and the sides) on the front of the phone.
Then I heated up the wrap so I could stretch it around the corners and the back of the phone (remove battery cover) so I get a wrinkle free finish.
Finally I got a thin blade and cut between the screen and the frame to peel off the excess wrap on the screen and the back of the phone.
Sorry for the late reply. If anyone needs more information just ask, I'd be more than willing to help. : ]

White border under glass. (S7 Edge Black Pearl)

Has anyone (especially those who own Black Pearl colour) exprenced this (first picture).
At first I thought it's just some dust but when I washed my phone and looked closely, it's actually something under the glass which looks like a cheap temepered glass's border (second picture).
The difference is only some parts of them are in white, the rest are beautiful in black (or transparent?).
It doesn't affect waterproof or anything but still triggers me a lot. Is this normal ?

This looks totally normal, it looks like dust build up in the slight gap between the tempered glass and screen itself or the space between the screen and body in some chase.. this is usually noticeable on black phones.
So U are saying that upon close inspection it looks like it's under the glass?
If so, I can confirm that it may be possible, because I'm having that issue. I have a silver titanium model, and on the upper side, it seems that the silver paint doesn't go all the way to the edge on the front glass, so I am able to see the glue that holds the glass.

I'm pretty sure it's not the dust because I even sink the phone in water.

it is just dust and dirt build up, I don't find it alarming, you can still show it to a repairer to be sure..

Can I use loka on a broken screen? Tempered Glass

Hi, I own a s9+ which I bought on ebay. I bought it for 201 dollars with a broken screen, i think it worth the price for me. I want to buy a product like the one in the image, which includes the loka glue. Can I use loka on a broken screen, affect the AMOLED screen or cause some damage?
What do you think, is it convenient to use it?

I've read if people having much success using uv glue screen protectors with cracked glass screens. I think you're problem will be that the "full coverage" uv glue protectors may not concert the area of your screen that's cracked.
Can't hurt to try.

I think thats a great purchase for 201 dollars. And I am 90% sure that if you fill the hole with the glue and then cure it with the UV light, that will fix a decent amount of it.
So if you first fill the cracks, then dry them with UV for a few minutes. Then install the glass on now mostly repaired screen.
And if you do so, please provide photos of the process and after..
Damn I bought that same screen protecror for just $1 and still using it as of now.
It might work to apply a tempered glass screen protector with full glue loca (liquid optically clear adhesive) over a broken screen. The potential problem may be getting the loca to disperse properly. This relies on capillary action to disperse the loca. A crack in the phones screen could potentially disrupt this process.
You can buy tempered glass screen protector kits (screen protector, loca, & uv light) for about $6-$13 on Ali Express. That's cheap enough that I would give it a try. Her's a link to the screen protector that I have used and recommend highly: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32858887498.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.76d54c4dcEJg2A
You may have the best luck if you can get a single drop/line of loca to completely cover the crack before applying the screen protector. It would need to be a single oval shaped line of loca or you will likely end up with bubbles.
