Plastic (white is way better ) but without screen protector I recommend black because it is rubber and wont scratch te screen

I don't have a screen protector so I'm using the black one.

Same here.

No screen protector (yet). I'm preferring the rubber (the black one). I like the slight grip effect it has.

I would if I were you.

I don't understand how a smooth rounded tip of plastic can scratch a smooth glass surface. I can easily understand the pen scarring or scratching a soft thin plastic screen protector though. IMO The only advantage of a screen protector is reduce glare and / or it is very cheap to replace if it gets scratched which is easier to scratch than glass.

What is the different on the tips. i didn't understand why there was so many tips with it

As someone nicely told me recently...the white ones are just hard plastic, while the black ones are rubbery.

It looks like there are two types, just multiple of these, incase they break or get dirty or something. I like the white ones for screen protector and the black ones when I don't have a screen protector on.

I think you haven't used a samsung note Before but this is the sad fact that the white tip (when wear happens in it) scratches the screen, but when new it won't

I have an Intuos 3 tablet and it comes with the same tips just a little larger and the different tips have a different feel when drawing. That is the main reson for the different tips. The tablet comes with a plastic sheet over the drawing surface that has some tooth on it to give the feel of paper and the nibs (pen tips) wear down with usage and wear the tooth off the covering sheet with use. On glass I doubt you will be able to wear the nibs (tips) down as they slide very easily across the glass.

Chipped the plastic bezel. Any advice?

Sadly, I know not to drop shiny new objects but unfortunately I dropped my nexus 7. Thankfully the screen is perfectly fine but I have chipped the silver bezel. Has anyone had any experience with any touch up products?
It may be the case that I could find a cheap nail varnish that would do the job but I do like the idea of trying something tailored for the job.
Any thoughts would be great.
Regards
Edit: I have chipped my dell xps which is a similar colour and also the handle to my fridge. I could buy in bulk as I probably will continue to use it.

Silver Sharpie might work. I used it to color the stylus button on my Galaxy Note S-Pen. Might have to retouch every month or so, but I think the color should be about right. http://www.amazon.com/Sanford-39108...81746&sr=8-4&keywords=sharpie+silver+metallic
Many thanks for the tip. Nice cheap fix.

Is it black underneath?
Just curious, since my bezel is black. I'd imagine if I was just painted plastic it will wear away.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I was thinking of using nail polish. Light silver would seem appopriate...?
It was black rubber (?) underneath. I'm surprised that the metallic finish Sharpie has worked so well but for the best part of the week no degradation. I'll be honest, I'll probably get an Asus cover from the play store when available in the UK as although the colour is spot on - I didn't prime or sand down prior to application so it still catches my eye.

And why is there 2 screen protectors one coloured round the edges and one just clear?

Crisis averted. Did the ole scotch tape trick to remove the dust particles. That should be in all screen protectors instructions as it works a treat.

Good luck

My general rules are (1) try to do it in a humid atmosphere, so there's less dust in the air, eg. a bathroom with a shower running, (2) to wash the back of the protector with water just before applying, and (3) try to fix errant dust motes with tape on the front to peel up a corner, and tape underneath to grab the dust, which it sounds like you've done. Personally I'm a big fan of the Brando ultra-clear protectors. Good luck!
I'm really loving the look of the phone with the colour change but the screen seems to have a kind of static look to it. Hopefully I'll get used to it as the phone looks great

I bought some SGP protectors for my S III. Well one of the kinds I bought was the ultra optics or whichever the the one that resists fingerprints is and it has almost like a texture on the screen which is kind of annoying to look at. I feel like it dulls the whole thing. I may take it off eventually and put the remaining ultra crystal I have from my i747
Really loving this screen protector.
The galaxy's s3 seems to me like it is very prone to scratches.
I always keep my phone in a pocket with nothing in it like keys or money yet I've got some pretty deep scratches on it.
I didnt get anywhere near as much with my s1, s2 or galaxy tab p1000.
Basically this screen is giving me protection and I'd even go as far as to say that it is making the scratches that I've acquired less noticeable.
Feels great too. I'm my opinion better that original screen and you have the added bonus of the anti fingerprint.
Defo recommend this

I believe the difference between the white and black nibs is their hardness. I prefer the feel of the white nibs in the stylus, but everyone will have their own preference.
On a side note: this thread should be moved to Q&A and stickied.

Black are rubber, white are plastic and some say can scratch the screen if you have no protector.

Cool got a screen protector coming so guess white would be good for it but that would also scratch the protector.
I'll stick to the black ones

None of the nubs will scratch the screen by themselves, what will scratch the screen is when dust that has a hardness value greater than the screen gets trapped between the nub and the screen. Chances of that happening are fairly high if your a heavy user of the S Pen.
I would always recommend a good screen protector no matter the type of glass your screen is made of.

You can not remove them but you can install a good screen protector to hide the scratches.

Their not really removable. Other than buying a new screen an digitizer, you're stuck with them.
If they are really really tiny surface scratches, I wonder if using that oleophobic stuff from amazon would fill them in. Seeing as the phone comes with an oleophobic coating, I wonder if that's all that got scratched. If someone has an old junk phone, I'd be curious to know if that windshield chip repair stuff would do anything.

That stuff for windshields is an epoxy, which would not look good on a phone screen. The olelophobic stuff from amazon would be worth a try.

Maybe very very light scratches, wouldn`t recommend it though. Instead get a screen protector.
A polish will destroy the coating. Then you maybe have a always dirty looking Display. Using a screen protector is a better way and you can't see little scratches with the screen protector on the Display.
