Can you imagine a car body made of that plastic

Damn...I had no idea how decent it was. I guess Samsung really know their hardware.

Yea, I figured it wouldn't be that brittle.

Normally when you bend plastic , it goes white at the bend point as is damaged/weakened , no sign of that here

This grade of plastic is more expensive than aluminium, and for good reasons. Im happy I have this phone and not one with an aluminium cover.

Great, I thought mine was going to break when taking it off lol

that's pretty damn impressive.
Not even fatigue

im amazed, but has anyone else tried this with theirs?

I was about to but then i looked inside my pants and realised my balls are not big enough.

Before people go trying this are we sure this is not third party? Don't recognise the logo under the camera, unless it's a carrier one?

I've tried it with mine, no problem at all.. It pop's right back to it's original state.. Did it however when temperatures were high (>25 Celcius), somehow i get the feeling that matters also a bit..
By the way.. The logo is of Anycall, it's the Korean telecom division from Samsung.

thats awesome, seems better than the SE Vivaz battery cover (my last phone)...
there's been no day i havent found something new and awesome about my SGSII =)

lmao nice one tbh first time i took it off was like omg its gonna break now i just rip it off lol but put my mind at rest im not gonna damage it

Has anybody tried bending their backcover like in the video, just in case it was a special rubber one

No way.. I wont try it

When I first took the cover off my new SGS2, I was extremely disappointed to see how flimsy the back cover was and was handling it like it was going to snap at any second..
Very nice to see that it is pretty strong, although I have no intention of testing the hardiness of my own one

Gutsy
It definitely took balls for that guy to try it on the video the first time. We can't even try it after seeing a demonstration!

I got so relieved when i saw that video xD
Got so scared the couple times i had to remove it
"Oh god, need to open the case again, its totally gonna break now!"
My thought every single time xD

Anyone else Trying to live with Yellow Spots...

I have two small yellow spots. Upper left and upper right. I have already rooted and installed custom rom and have been playing with my phone for a week now. I love this phone and am trying to live with it even though I know I shouldnt.
Anyone else in the same boat? Or did everyone that had this problem return there phone. I bought mine unlocked on amazon.
Has anyones spots disappeared? I was googling the pictures of the Iphones that had the same problem and they look Identical to what I have. Its not as bad as some peoples pictures I have seen though.
hmmmm.... what to do...

Spots. Sorry for the confusion. I should change the thread title.
Title changed!
Most likely glue.

how long have you had your phone
spots can go away with use

1 - week.
Thats what I was hoping and the reason I havent returned it yet. You can press on them and they disappear. When you let go they come back. I was reading in a thread somewhere that someone had massaged them for a little bit each day for a week and they went away.
They also get brighter as the phone heats up.

Will Verizon Warranty My Nexus?

About a week ago I started having the same issue as the person who started this thread:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/25020-screen-pixelated/
Now my question is, I have a ding in the casing of my phone that happened long before the screen issues. Would Verizon warranty my phone even with the ding in it? Seeing how the screen problems aren't related to the ding? And if they were to, would they charge me full retail for the replacement phone once they get my old one and see the ding?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Here's a picture of the ding in case anyone asks.
It looks worse in the picture than it really is.

Bad thread URL, bro. But for them to deny warranty work, they have to prove that the ding is related, so I would say you are good, as long as you arent taking it to them for the ding.

Link fixed Adryn
Thanks for the catch.

That's a little bigger than a "ding"...
As adrynalyne said, unless they think the screen issues are related to the case damage, you should be good. Kinda depends on the CS rep you get.

Wow i could not live my life with a monster scratch like that in my phone, at least i would have changed the case the same day that happened lol.

Anyone noticing this?

On the back of the phone, towards the bottom of the back there are these marks/scratches that are popping up.
As you move your finger over them, you can feel the texture changes.
Why would these appear if I baby my phone, and have had a case on it from day 1.
It isn't making sense.
I tried to see if I could remove it with a cleaner, but no avail.
What are your thoughts?

I have seen these. Even with a case, you get dust(dirt particles) under the case. As you use the phone normally it does move a small amount in the case and that will scratch the back a little. At least this is what I think is happening as its happened with every phone Ive owned thats been cased.

Yes mine has it..... No case... But my last phone (xperia arc) went through more abuse and has no scratches. I don't have a clue what it is about that general area.

Got these as well. Exact same location. I guess the plastic backing finish is real easy to scratch up. Sucks but at least it is minimal.

I got them too, but at least I can just buy a new back or something.

I have tons of scratches on the back of mine. I set it in the cup holder when I listen to Pandora in the car. Recently these red marks have shown up... they won't rub off and I'm thinking its the color underneath the paint.

Large bubble on screen

Does anyone know what could have caused this and how to fix it? I thought the battery leaked but it's perfect.

Looks like the screen cracked and delaminated. Excessive physical force... the looks like crack in the screen in the lower right corner.
Replace... and don't ever put it in back pocket.

Delaminated? Would that mean I can just replace the screen. Circuit board seems ok. I had it stored vertically in a waredrobe while I was in Australia for 2 years. Came back and it was like this. Raging cause it was a great tablet.

Maybe to took a hit you weren't aware of
Yeah if you're good with replacing the screen, no worries. Price it out vs a new better one.
Does it fire up at all?
How was Australia? Get much off the beaten path?

No doesn't fire up at all. Not a single blip. It was a handy little tablet but I guess there's better tabs out now. Still might be a good project if I can get a replacement screen cheap enough.
Yea Australia was great. Went out in Jan 2019. Lived in Melbourne, was a great city. Then covid hit and ruined everything. Got a week up in NSW before I came back, which was lucky since I hear NSW cases are on the rise.

There may be more damage. Don't waste money if not 99% sure.
