Does anyone know where the magnets are inside the slide case? Or even in the Tegra Note itself? Would love to try a DIY project, honestly can't bring myself to pay $30 for a cover that only protects the screen just because it has a few magnets in it.
Magnets are in the tablet. Get a piece of steel (like a pin) and see where it sticks to the tablet.

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.

I just had the same problem and am googling left right and center for fixes. How did this work for you? Do you have a pic?
Is anyone finding that there cases are scratching the hell out of the bezel?

No but the asphalt that I dropped mine on did a good job

Nope. I have three different kinds of cases and they all do their job pretty well. I guess it just depends on which case you use.
Using a Diztronic case since December and have no problem with the bezel getting scratched.
My bezel is getting scratched just by being my pocket!!! I've never put anything my pocket besides the phone not have I ever put the phone with the screen facing down.

I use a diztronic case and official bumper. My bezel looks like hell. I work outside and my pockets get a lot of grit in them throughout the day.

I'm using the diztronic tpu case since jan and my bezel has a good amount of scratches too :/
Used the Diztronic TPU case for 2 weeks and got a ton of scratches on the bezel on the top end and bottom end of the phone; had none before, and haven't gotten any more after.
Not the case's fault per say, but the "chrome" finish scratches very easily, so if an otherwise harmless bit of grit gets trapped between the case and the bezel it gets it's sandpaper action on.

Its like the case is trapping dirt and its then scratching it
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Every tpu / hard case I have ever had has scratched the bezel in one way or another, however not as much as if it wasn't on there, as others said grit/muck/dust gets trapped between the phone and the case, as the cases are pretty tight but can move (i.e. if you squeeze the sides of the case with a tpu case) and this cuases the sratches. I use the Official bumper and have had no problems on the N4, but I take it off and clean it/the phone pretty regularly, however the the design of the bumper means the upper rim of the case is lifted off the screen/bezel by 0.5-1 mm.
Best way to combat this is to give it a quick clean every day, but even then it will still happen.
I'm using a Kayscase which I ordered before they were completely stocked -- I tell you this because the case has no logo. I ordered another case by BoxWave (the Blackout LG Nexus case) -- it turned out to be the exact same case as the Kayscase (Slim Soft Gel Cover). They seem to do an excellent job of keeping the Nexus 4 scratch-free (face, back and bezel). I like this case because it's unobtrusive and allows me to lay the phone face down on flat surfaces.
Hi,
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
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
You can not remove them but you can install a good screen protector to hide the scratches.

I've ordered this one http://www.gadgetshieldz.in/google-lg-nexus-4-e960-screen-protector.html#product498 and the Ringke Fusion Case... I hope these are good products, because the case i have right now is really bad, it dropped the phone before my n4 hit the ground...

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.

Just wondering if people use their G2 without a case lol I feel like it's going to snap in half if I dint have one on
I use the quick window case and it rocks.

ever since the first drop which also broke my screen I always use a case right I'm using spigen slim armor also I'm first to vote
I feel like the case is mandatory on this phone. One of my only complaints about it. I wish I could get away from using a case because the size feels so much better that way but it just doesn't feel sturdy enough.
I've got the LG smart window case but I'm scared to use it because people saying it scratches the LG g2 screen

I also am using the "slim armor" it is a great case so far. I also have the screenmate "flex" screen protecter on the glass... amazing so far!

I don't use a case, but I do use a vinyl back and a screen protector. That's the best balance for me of protection and comfort.
I use the Seido kickstand case. It seems thin compared to the Trident Aegis case I had on my Sg2.
Body glove, not worth breaking the phone.

I went with no case for a few weeks had a minor drop ding up the corners and was pissed. So I used the quick window case and then got scratches on my screen around the quick window from little things getting caught around and under the window I guess. Since I got a warranty replacement recently its a case and screen protector just to be safe.

Incipio Brig. No better case out for this phone.
Casemate tough case. Its dope because the rubber wraps over the face just enough to cover the screen protector as well. Looks good and is still slim.
LG G2 ftw
Spigen case and bullet proof tempered glass screen protector. it works. I hit it with a hammer and it did not crack. i used more force and the protector shattered but not my screen
the phone is a bit slippery without a case.
I'll be getting a wood skin thing from these guys as soon as they're for sale. Supposedly by the end of the month. http://toastmade.com/Android.html
D30 case hands down the best there is.

I think it should work. Just tested.
The back of the pen is slightly attracted, but the tip really attracts.
So, if you can, aim for the tip
thanks for the info. I dropped the phone in car in such a way the pen rocket propelled inside A/C duct. I was hoping to fish the pen out of the inside of A/C duct in car. Ended up opening up the dash and still not locating it. First world problems.
