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.

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....

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.

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

Sent from my GT-N8013 using xda app-developers app
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 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.

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.

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.

So far I've tried canned air, a speaker cleaner app, a qtip, tape, microfiber cloth, and vacuuming, yet my speaker grill remains gray from dust. This doesn't just affect this phone, everyone phone I've ever had has this issue. Anyone got a method I haven't tried?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
I use my dust destroyer!
It worked for me. You can try to make your own little q-tip using a tooth pick and just a small amount of cotton and make your own little q-tip and use that to clean.
If that doesn't work, you can always try WD-40. Lmao. I'm kidding.

Would compressed air be a good option? Along side a cottonbud?

Compressed air works well so far. Sorry to hijack, but what is the red light on the right side of the earpiece speaker grill? Does everyone have this? I looked and couldn't find anything about it.

No. Have you ever seen a HOX with the light in the speaker grill? It looks like that! It may be a piece of red glitter that's stuck in the grill, but it looks just like a faint red light. Compressed air didn't get it out so I figured it was a light!

I will get a picture once I get off work but I'm not sure how it happened. It's always in a case, but I take it off maybe once a day, which may have caused it but I'm really careful about that.

Does it look like this? If so go to the "Bent after 2 days" thread. I know it's not bent, so the title is misleading. But the "Bent" issue in that thread is only this issue.

This only happened because it fell naked, it was 3ft drop though so I'm impressed.

If you mean the thin plastic band that sits between the screen and the aluminium case then yes, that seems to have the characteristics of play dough, it is easily dented.

Agreed. That material is just a cushion.
Yes, I've had this as well. I took my 6P out of the case it's been in (pretty much since I got it) and the top right corner has lost some of the plastic. Never been dropped so not sure why it's happening.
