I have a screen protector and case on it 90% of the time but when I put it in my car dock I have to take it out of the case. I am noticing really small scratches on the bottom of the phone by the Usb and Hdmi ports.
I was wondering if there is anyone who as used any kind of scratch remover or something to buff them out? I have heard of ipod scratch removers and such just looking for anyone's personal experience.
Being thatt eh edges are kinda like rubber coated, its going ot be hard. I would leave it man.
scratch it all off and have a red ring

To be more clear, it's rubberized plastic

He's talking about the shiny black plastic that encompasses the top half of the phone, which is actual plastic, and not rubberized plastic. And unfortunately I don't know what you would use to buff them out. However I imagine that you could use a high quality plastic polish and scratch remover to buff it out. Just speculation.

Oh...sorry, misunderstanding....and in that case, i use a black epoxy and fill it in, then sand the residue of so it is flush.

Ok everyone this will be my first mod-accessory, for a mobile device and i am looking for some input. I want the best of both of these two cases and am pretty sure that the end result will be some kick arsenic case loved by most people. Check my video out it says all I am trying to do. http://youtu.be/DZOKjY2YMzg
Fix your audio, get prepared, get to the point and try again. Oh and gorilla glue? Couldn't tell what you wanted to use it for, but not a good idea. It expands.

I am wanting some input on how to go about using the inner top portion on the power-skin replacing the same area on the powerskin with the d3o portion. I know gorilla glue expands but nothing a razor blade can't fix after it cures.
Too many ideas, can you narrow it down?
Hard plastic kept or not?
Can hard plastic be removed if needed?
Room under the top section for an additional layer? Snug or decent room
Let's talk glue again. Wouldn't something that remains flexible be preferred?

Yeah I was thinking about losing the hard white plastic of the d3o and using the inner flexible black part. Right about the glue now that I think about it, will need some flexibility-any ideas on type of adhesive? I am thinking with the addition of the inner layer and losing the back phone coverage it will be comfortable in fit.

okay
Cut off half of old and put on top of newer one. Issue looks dumb and unfinished. Use some type of cord to clean up the edge. Still may look bad and by removing hard plastic look nasty due to glue remains. Due to shown cracks, it's not likely you can use as hard case on top of new rubber.
Under newer one instead. Issue, it would look and feel off I think because of hump added. Maybe not sure due to hump caused by battery? Could be similar.
Fix cut old one slightly bigger than new hole. Glue edges only. Issue bump created around current lip from New hole.
Fix cut same size as new hole add inner layer such as felt. Glue piece to felt, felt to new inside part. If cut well and placed well, old piece fills void reduces lip. Issue of bad cut, looks bad. Cut slightly larger than hole and slowly trim to fit. Try to get edges to squash well together. Still may have nasty glue remains from removal of hard plastic. Fix may be tough to do and look off. Keep plastic attached, Trim both plastic and rubber to shape of hole and fit in hole. Use felt again as backer.
Eliminate felt use, trim plastic to hole, trim rubber slightly bigger. Glue old rubber to plastic and edges of old rubber to inside of new hole. Essentially, use old rubber as backer instead of felt. May still cause that hump around edge of new hole.
Fill hole with old piece as described above eliminate felt use, plastic if desired, and over size of old rubber. Create complete new back instead to glue piece to. Then glue this new back to the back of new case. This will cover up the old glue remains, bad possible cutting and lip issues. Tricky part, what to use for new back.
What's the inside of old case look like? Could it be used to create new back layer? If not sure where I am going, look at the back of a ballistic case.
Glue depends on decided application. If new back than semi rigid glue would work well. They have super glue that stays flexible. Rubber cement too flexible I think.
What would you suggest be my line of going forward? Cut the lip and buttons off the d3o

Tough to say without being there and knowing the actual layout. Your video just made it to hard to see. Since the plastic is borked and underneath may be glued, you may want to hit up one of the mall vestibules and see if you can find some knock off cover that works to your needs.
Yeah I will probably grab some cheap cases similar & do some mock ups to get a feel for what it will be like. I'll post some pictures of my progress.

Hi guys, I was wondering if rubber tip or plastic tip are giving us any different and advantage over some application.
Myself like the rubber tips as it gives a comfortable writing over on naked screen.
Rubber tips are more comfortable to use on a naked screen. But one thing I've noticed is that rubber tips leave a mark on matte screen protectors that you have to wipe off, whereas the plastic ones don't. Using the plastic tip on a naked screen feels like I'm going to scratch it, lol.
If you are an artist then rubber tip if not then plastic tip because it gives lot less friction specially if you have a screen protector but it less accurate compared to rubber as rubber will always grip the surface where as plastic will glide over the surface
Rubber also cuts down on noise when screencast or audio recording.

Rubber tips if no screen protector, plastic with screen protector because plastics tips may scratch the screen as reported on both note 1 and 2 forums

The plastic one feels like plastic, lol. It's all white.
Well its been a little over a week and had been doing well with no scratches. Been putting it in my pockets and laying it around just everyday normal use. Well today I scratched it pretty good. Had on my rock revival jeans. Most of these jeans have a button right above the pocket opening. Well it slid across that button and scratched it pretty good. I had already bought a tempered glass screen protector off eBay but was going to wait on putting it on. So I peeled off the outer layer. This was surprisingly easy. And I put on the glass protector. I know Motorola advised against this but theirs scratches pretty good. This glass one doesn't scratch. And it does actually feel better. Shatter proof is awesome but scratch proof is important too.
You know u can put a screen protector over the shatterproof film and u wouldn't have that problem

Which one did you put on, that you said feels better? Is it thicker, does it fit perfectly?

Yeah I know. But all the other phones I had were gorilla glass and didn't scratch and I liked that. Never used screen protectors on them. When I put the glass one on top of their outer shield, it was just too thick for me. It seemed like the screen was more sunk in. I knows that may sound like nic picking but I didn't like it.

Found one on eBay and it fits perfectly. Yeah it will shatter but I'm pretty confident the underneath won't if I drop it. All layers are plastic. I'm liking it so far. So to me, I kinda get the best of both worlds. Scratch resistance and shatter proof (underneath that is).
Honestly u just need a basic thin scratch resistance screen protector cause tempered glass isnt really needed with a 4 year screen warranty
The one I found on eBay was like 15.00. It fits really well. It has the cut out for the speakers and covers the rest. It's a little thicker than the original but I use a snap on slim fitting tpu case and it covers all the outer edges nicely.

How is the fit on the edges and center? Some have commented that there is a slight curve to the screen and the glass doesn't sit down in the center.

I picked up the tempered glass that Verizon sells for the Turbo 2. It is extremely thin and flexible (so it works well with the slight curve), if applied correctly you can barely tell it's on there.
Yeah it worked well at first but now its starting to bubble in middle and on one corner. I'd look for a different one. I just ordered trimaxx 360 clear case. I'm hoping this will work pretty well. It has pretty good reviews. I really don't want to put Verizon's outer shield back on. It scratches way too easily.

How's the build quality?

another dumb move from xiaomi

The phone is better then normal a2 in many ways so they had to cut corners somewhere...
I'm pretty sure the large surface on the back is metal, or at least plastic with a metal coating. The sides and top and bottom parts on the back are plastic however. You can feel the difference in temperature.

It's aluminum, minus the sides, which are plastic. It looks great, in fact, in my opinion, very close to the A1. If you like metal phones, you will not be disappointed. It's a little thicker, but not very.

So I went to a Zagg store today and had my outer screen protector replaced, it was toast but lasted a while. I had them also drop the 3DO custom on the back.
But here's the question, has anyone put a protector on the plastic fold trim that says Samsung. I've got one nick on it, and wondering if the mechanism has the tolerance to apply a PET plastic to it. I've seen some on Amazon, any luck, does it work?

I don't think there is a protector for that place because it'll be difficult to open and close the phone. The plastic protector will make it hard to fold the device.

I sure a skin on the hinge of my ZF2 and now my ZF3. It doesn't interfere at all. It's just a thin clear skin like a screen protector.
By the way, the hinge isn't plastic. It's aluminium.

On the silver Fold 3 the hinge is glossy silver, so I think it's actually stainless steel.

Nope. It's aluminium. Samsung made a big deal about the frame and hinge being made of their new "armor aluminum."
Aluminum is also silver, and can be shiny/glossy with either a clear coat or being anodized.
Wow, if it's metal it sure feels like plastic. The gloss paint on it picks up micro scratches like crazy.

Yes the hinge is all metal.
No plastic there.

Thanks, gave up on his videos when he started introducing political jokes. No matter the side, I didn't watch for that crap.
