I recently purchased a used smartwatch with a slightly worn Rubber/Silicon Band with embedded electronics (camera/speaker,etc).
Does anyone have suggestions on how to maintain/restore/clean it?
From what I've heard:
Step 1). Clean with either Toothpaste or 1:3 diluted dishwashing soap, using hands. Be careful to avoid areas near and around embedded electronics.
Step 2). Dry, then apply Armor All, or other tire/plastic protectant.
Does anyone have any alternative advice or good recommendations?

i know this thread should probably be under the general device section, but i'm not sure if the hermes has a special screen or not (h200/cingular8525)
i was out looking at a house to rent, noticed their mailbox got smashed so i picked it up-- in the process i scratched the hell out of my screen (it causes my fingernail to jump when i run it over the scratch, but its not deep enough to effect using the stylus under it)
i don't have any type of protection plan AFAIK (though its a retail purchased NEW 8525 from a corp store if that makes a difference)
so, basically i'm wondering if there are any types of scratch hiding methods that are proven to work well for the screen? i'm thinking CD refinishing items might help (mentioned on a few threads when i searched).. should i find a dremel and some high speed cloth polishing wheels to eat away the ridges around the scratch?
edit:
this seems to be just a surface scratch in the screen coating, if i use the stylus over the scratch it still draws correctly in pencilbox.
r u using softcase or something ?
I use Krussel leather case and it work.
anyway just minor scartch is fine as long as u now broken ur LCD.
For minor scratches Brass cleaning cloth or liquid works well but be careful not to overdo it. In the UK the brand name Brasso is ok. Essentially these products contain micro particles impregnated into a cloth or liquid. Never pour liquid onto the screen but use a little on a cloth.
Very much a use at your own risk solution!

I wanted to know if anyone had any good or bad experiences with clear cases like this one
http://www.amazon.com/AT-Fuze-Activ..._75?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1227055029&sr=1-75
I want to get a case that will protect the fuze from drops. I drop my previous phone the 8525 twice and because I'm in a city the first drop was on one of those metal grates and the phones edges got scratched up more than I would have liked and the second time was on a concrete side walk. Both times I was pulling out my phone from my case on my hip and lost grip. I was interested in getting a case that I can pull my phone from the top. That may help prevent me losing grip. But I still want to put something on the phone incase I loss grip again and drop the phone. And I was looking for something that will not put that much bulk or take away from the looks of the phone. If anyone has any suggestions or experence with cases or skins that I can put on the phone to try and protect it from a drop I would like to read about it
I had the boxwave clear case for my 8525, and it saved my phone several times. There were a couple problems though. For starters, the gaps between the plastic and the phone get covered in dirt, and you have to remove the case to clean it out. The case snaps on to your phone will little plastic tabs. If one of those breaks, part of your case will be loose.
However, I will certainly give the case full marks for protecting my phone. It survived drops, throws, smashes, and just about everything else you can imagine would happen if a 1 year old got a hold of your phone. So, if you don't really care about the phone getting dirty and whatnot, the boxwave case provides some good protection while adding a minimal amount of bulk to the phone.
I had a case similar for my HTC Tilt and I loved it, it saved my phone several times too and it has a belt clip which I loved! Also if you get that case they have it on eBay for cheaper... I believe it was $9.99 or something like that, I was looking earlier today and saw it on there but I bought a Hot Pink Rubberized one instead. But I like the cases, of course it's your own personal preference though. Hope I'm not too late with the eBay info though lol. Here's my search link, there are a couple cases for it.

Search for the body glove case. It is rubberized, not the best looking of cases, but might protect it the best. I bought mine on ebay.
I bought the official AT&T 2-piece case for $29.99 (-30% FAN discount).
It fits, but tabs that hold it on make the phone seem like it's going to get stuck in a half open position.
I wanted to thank everyone for there suggestions.
NotATreoFan is this the case you bought at ATT

HTC Touch Pro Case Protection
For those of you who have a Touch Pro and have the Sprint included HTC brand case, you probably have the same gripe about it as I do. There is very little protection to the side of the phone as the OEM case has several gaps in it. Also using the case for a few weeks, the velcro begins to lose its hold and the case may not shut properly. I have customized my case to fix these problems and would encourage others to do the same. Here is what you will need:
-Small elastic material (available at any craft store or Wal-Mart!)
-3M double sided tape
-Velcro strips
-5 minute epoxy (Wal-Mart)
Directions: Cut a piece of elastic the same length as the open portion of the side of the case. Cut out small pieces of double sided tape and apply to the black cross sections of the case. Apply the elastic and cut to size. For the the velcro fix on the front of the phone, cut a strip of the velcro and fit to size on the front of the case. Mix the 5 minute epoxy and apply to the back of the velcro strip you just cut. Apply the velcro to the case and allow to dry (apply pressure to ensure a tight fit). Enjoy your case!
hey guys, i was bored today so i built this little holder so i can watch movies on my HD. i'm a dental student btw, so i have access to these materials. it's real simple/rough right now, but it works, maybe when i have more time i can make a more professional one. enjoy!
btw, that black stuff is electrical tape. the material that i used is a little rough, so i just wrapped it up with electrical tape to protect my phone
lol - looks terrible dude. just buy a proper one off ebay for a fiver
What is the material of the clamp? Notice that you do not have a silicon case to protect it against the vibrating clamp. You might find your paint work damaged by this.
Go get a holder which has sponge for holding the device. It offers protection against the paintwork at lease.
I made a smart case out of the official TPU with a neodymium magnet embedded in the flap, not going all the way through it. However, when folded all the way behind the device, it triggers the lock mechanism as well, meaning I have to leave it dangling on one side while in use. Has this been seen on other DIY jobs, and is there a way to shield it, possibly without changing the magnet assembly?
There is a substance called mu-metal which would magnetically shield it. eBay is a possible source, as is Electronics Goldmine.
If it's a marginal situation, a piece of stainless steel might work.
I just tried a piece of stainless, a razor blade, and it worked perfectly. Tomorrow I'll glue one into the case. Thanks for the help!

It is not a easy task. But at least you are replacing the entire front panel and not just the glass itself.
Really good tutorial , need lot of tools , i find giving to huawei is far better.
But your video is really good.
Add this, If you can't find a heat gun, use a hair dryer
I won't take risk on my device .
Good tutorial , really helpful, thanks.
Anyone who's done this can confirm if you need new adhesive after you open the phone?
