[Q] Black Case finish, Chip repair? - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Bummer, I dropped my phone and put 2 small chips into the case finish right on the edge. Anybody known of something that will work to cover them up? I tried black magic marker and it just rubs right back off, Tried flat black spray paint and it also rubbed off the aluminum case.
Any ideas?

model paint maybe?

Annoying scuffs on screen protector GONE

I recently switched from an anti-glare screen protector on my N7100 to an Invisible shield HD from Zagg. Earlier today, I some how managed to get a 3" scuff vertically on my screen today and have been trying to get rid of it with various products. I tried good old soap and water, with no luck. Invisible glass (no ammonia) with no luck. I pulled out a magic eraser and sprayed invisible glass on it, and gently started rubbing the screen. 3-4 seconds later, it was gone.
I know it's annoying getting scuffs and scratches on a screen and just have to put up with it. This method may or may not work for you but I had no problem removing the scuff!
Can you be more specific on what you mean by "magic erase"?
Thanks for the heads up!

Typo!! Meant magic eraser, the one made by Mr. Clean.

[Q] Bezel got (micro) scratched; How to safely remove them?

Hey folks,
Has anyone here ever tried to remove micro-scratches/swirls from the bezel? My bezel got scratched and it annoys me every time I see the phone since the scratch is pretty noticeable under the right angle.
I tried some car polishers that were lying around my house (Kit Scratch Out, Mother's Plastic Polish, etc.) but no luck.
A friend of mine said that he managed to remove similar scratches off his PS3 using some product called Scratch Ex or something -- I can't quite remember the name, LOL -- should I try it?
I'm surprised you getting all loco over a itsy bitsy scratch. Here's a solution, buy a bumper or a case to cover it up. I really doubt all those liquid substances will work. It's not like removing scratches on a CD or DVD.

I'm not sure if you can remove scratches from metal so easily
Blue Magic metal polish would probably do the trick. The bumper is actually what caused the scratches on my bezel, so now I go nekkid

The bezel is made of metal? I doubt it. Imho it is plastic with a chrome finish.

Chipped Black

Damn I chipped my HTC one today and its black, Now i can see a silver chip at the top left corner, anything can be done to cover the chip?
What happened exactly? Did you drop it or scratch it? I have heard people saying you can use some permanent marker to cover it.

Used black sharpies more than once but it rubs off after a few days
I used car touch up paint when my white evo was chipping. Matched the color and it has a nail polish like applicator. Worked good and It was glossy when it dried.

Seems like either the anodization is very thin or the sharp edges make it easy to chip...
they cant chip by themselves!

I chipped my silver One on the edges of the aluminium and edge of the screen. All because of trying to do many things at once when walking.

At least you got a black one... lol
Like to see pics, though I'm probably going with the silver anyway.
I'm curious to see pics of it as well, would be nice to have an idea how bad the chipping looks, since I've ordered a black one as well .

I got my black One yesterday night, this morning after went shopping having my phone naked in my pocket alone, I found a tiny scratch in silver at the bottom speaker area, must be sand or dust did that.
The back is still fine, no chipping so far, but that's really easy to get scratched !!

The silver/white doesn't have any paint/anodization so it won't chip. However, the black is painted/anodized so it can chip/flake.
The "silver" one is anodized, it creates a harder surface than bare aluminium.

I can't post links yet cause I'm too new but here's a good solution :
If your black iPhone 5 has developed scuffs, replacing your phone is not the only option. There are products available which will turn chips or scratches from silver to black. The following information applies to the black iPhone, as we’ve not yet found a way to make scuffs on the silver aluminum surface of the white iPhone 5 less noticeable.
We do not recommend using a black Sharpie marker or ordinary black paint, as these will do a poor job of matching the anodized metal. Applying marker or paint could make the phone look worse and hurt its resale or trade-in value in the future.
If you choose to repair the phone on your own, we recommend a product which is designed for repairing imperfections in anodized metal. These products will not work with the white iPhone 5 as they are not intended to repair silver surfaces. However, if you have a black iPhone 5, anodized touch-up products will give you the best match to the original surface and provide the best protection.
Our best recommendation is to use the Birchwood Casey Super Black touch up pen, shown at the top. It’s very easy to apply, mess-free, and is quick to dry. These pens have plenty of paint to repair several phones, or you can use the leftovers to touch up nicks or scratches in cameras, binoculars, or black sporting accessories. Except for the thin, chamfered (a.k.a. beveled) edge, all aluminum surfaces on the iPhone 5 are flat black. We recommend the flat black pen for fixing scuffs and nicks on the larger, flat surfaces. If you wish to touch up the narrow, shiny, chamfered edge should you go with the gloss pen.
Simply dab the pen over each scratch or nick. If you put down a bit too much paint, use a damp paper towel to dab up the paint and try again. Once you’ve covered any scuffs, wait about one hour before handling the areas where paint was applied.
Here, i only have a htc phone as my camera...i'll try and up some more

Dropped S4 and its dented bezel

So I dropped my s4 twice within a week (im still gutted with myself) and its dented the front bezel and scratched the back one and its right on the bottom right side corner so I decided to sand it over with a nail file and it feels like new but obviously its taken the chrome of so my ? is would model paint like a chrome effect model paint work has anyone tried doing this or would it be easier to buy a new front bezel bit I've seen that the front bezel comes fixed to the screen so not an easy fix,everything else if fine the screen is in perfect condition considering how deep the dent was.
So anyone used chrome look paint on there phones...???

Its really hard to paint the bezel without removing it. If you succesfully removed and paint it im not sure if it will still fit because of the paint.

Strange spot at the corner of the screen

Hello
I have just bought an S4 i9505 two days ago (used) and I noticed as a moisture effect (maybe air bubble) under the glass screen at the upper right corner of the screen. Anyone know a trick to remove it? Thank's
PS: It is not due to the protective film
Looks to me like the adhesive holding screen has gone/screen started lifting from casing. Might need to take back under warranty.

Looks like the screen may have been replaced at one time. It may be the picture but the speaker mesh looks sunken in and gapped between the glass and housing. The way the screen is assembled originally is the glass has a thin sheet under that is almost like a flake material and it looks like it's separating from the glass.
