Does anyone know of any touch up paint for the silver lining of the N7
I have a seriously minor scrape on it that is like half a cm, but every time I look at it it freaks me out haha...
I am one of those people that freaks out about scratches and what not on devices and anything else for that matter...
So if anyone has any suggestions that is much appreciated!
Best way would be an auto shop and match up the paint. It is a little expensive but will probably last longer... else use nail polish.

Has anyone noticed the screen coating abrasion on the most used area of the screen? In my case right lower part as I am right handed. It is not very obvious but when you look at it with the help of ambient light reflection you notice it.

same here.. no abrasion on my DHD, i am using a screen protector as well.. i think its time you should get 1 as well...
+1 for the screen protectors, ill be fitting mine in a day or so
Have you tried a really good cleaner? might just be crud stuck to the screen from day to day use,, used to get it on my iPhone but usually 'wiped' clean
Good cleaner doesnt solve the case.I guess mine has a production defect then. Kind of defective thinner coating. I will return to HTC for replacement. Lets see how will they react.

my DHD never comes out of its otterbox so no problems here
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.

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.

i waas searching for a good stylus today with a fine tip (not big round black tipped ones) and i came across jot. I read some reviews and watched videos and it looked really cool but there is a downside unfortunately. It does not work with certain screen protectors as indicated on website including zagg, ghost armor and skinomi. I installed skinomi on my nexus and appearently i am not able to use jot any ideas for a good stylus? i have seen wacom bamboo is good but it does not have fine tip unfortunately

Hi
Has any one use this screen protector?
I was about to buy it buy i noticed it did not have a front sensor opening, it only has one for camera.
Problem is i bought one before that covered the sensor and once a call came in the screen would not turn back on when i finished the call.
So please if any one has some experience with this one please share with me your experience. Thanks
Here is a video review by ctscloud, thank him. link below.

If i remember correctly my last phone had one of those on it for a while, and it had that awful screen door effect.It wasn't really noticeable on color but when you had a white background it could really drive you nuts. I ended up peeling it off in the end because it got on my nerves so bad when looking at web pages.Spend the extra cash and get a quality one. (XOskins, Skinomi, BSE, etc)
What is a "screen door" effect?
I ordered an XtremeGuard but haven't received it yet.

But basically you can see like little squares in the phone screen like a screen door.
You see the fine line separating the pixels.

Thanks for the pik bro. Let me know how it turns out. If u get screen effect.

I bought a series of them, but they are the most disappointing screen protectors ever. I'm quite experienced in applying screen protectors and didn't have any trouble applying these protectors, but every single time the top left corner detached from the screen after ~2 weeks. Furthermore: the feel is extremely "plasticcy", and after removing the protectors I noticed that the screen gets a lot less responsive to touch when they're on.
My advice: stay away from the Xtreme guard protectors!
I just installed it last night. I don't like it. Finger don't slide smoothly, kind of sticking to the screen.
Fit is pretty good, and its matte finish. But I can't use it, feels no good.
i have no problems with mine. All of the cuts are perfect and it looks clean imo. I got the full coverage for 3 bucks during a special 70% off sale.
though they are cheap you don't get much but just the screens in the mail. (You get what you paid for)
what i did to install it was i had left over Zagg solution from a previous phone and applied it to the screen.
then i used a hair blow dryer while using a squeegee to remove all the water from under the screen.

I installed it last night. Just after installed, it got an incredible orange peel effect, however in the instructions it says to wait at least 8hs dry before turning the phone on. So I led it off all the night and this morning most of that effect disappeared. It still has some bubbles (not with air, I think is water, is what caused the orange peel effect before, just that now they are far from each other). So, I will wait until tomorrow to see if this disappear before writing a verdict. If these bubbles do not disappear, I'm afraid I'll have to remove it.
The responsiveness of the screen didn't change.
The plasticity fell I guess will also disappear when the remaining bubbles disappear.
I'll keep you posted.

I've used these xtremeguards on my previous phones because they were cheap but I was never satisfied with them...meh
Bought the body kit that gives sp for the front and back and after a week I decided to go back to skinomi.
Looks like everyone has had trouble with them. Ill wait for his verdict and make my decision... Any ways thanks every one.

I've had mine on my n4 for about a week now. You can't even tell that there's a screen protector on it just by looking. It basically looks perfect. However I will say that it definitely feels weird.

Just to keep you posted. After 24hs of having applied the protectors, the back one is almost perfect, with only 2 or 3 bubbles here and there, but they aren't too noticeable. The front protector have some more bubbles but definitely less than this morning.
The feeling is really plastic.
Overall, I think this will protect the screen, but it isn't good looking. I think I will keep it until I get the flip leather case that I ordered, then I will remove the front one (the one at the back doesn't bother me at all, so I'll keep that).
Will see, maybe for the time when I receive the case I already get used to it. :/

My phone Just felt on the ground, and there is now some scratchs on the screen... These are micro scratches, but i would like to know if any of you have some tips for remove them... Thanks in advance

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.
