I really want to paint the screen bezel and battery covrr of this phone.Completly debrand the back I was thinging of painting it either white or chroming the bezel andback plate and just deal with polishing it every day (although I'm not sure how well the chrome will bend when removing the back plate) so any suggestions shud I or shouldn't I. how should I go about painting it.

Bro... skinit.com ? Why go through all that hassle rather than stick a decal on it? Cmon work smarter not harder.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I think painting it would be cool, as long as you put a nice finish on it to keep it from scratching off.
I'd paint mine a chrome color.

Stickers peel when taken care of paint can last forever.

Yeah I figured out the solution for the back cover it wud probably have to be powder coated to allow the "color" to bend with the plastic.

That's cool. I've been thinking about plasti-dipping my back cover. Stuff is great. It's durable yet peels right off if done right. People use it on there cars all the time. I did my hood with it

Great stuff, but do NOT use it on your phone back, it will cause a mess.
I use it all the time to cover my spark plug cables on my Jet Ski, and while it does coat everything with rubber, it is NOT a smooth/polished finish.
I think I might even alumacoat the bezel or even ceramicoat (If I can find someone who still does it)

Does anyone know if the skyrocket 4g otterbox will perfectly fit with our phones? I don't see why it wouldn't, but I would like to confirm.

The Samsung Infuse 4G is a near perfect fit with one simple modification. Been using it for a few weeks. I Will take some pictures tomorrow and post.

There would be two speaker holes then. I would think that the case would be pretty difficult to cut as well. It is not something I would want to experiment with. If you would like to try it, take some pictures and post them I would be pretty interested though.

It does affect the flexibility a little. Makes the silicone a little more stiff but not that much more

Well I haven't tried with primer yet so it's cracking but I have to go buy primer after I'm done with work.... The red was also a fail lol.
I guess I just have to wait to buy some primer
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Just to let everyone know that if your planning on doing this you're suppose to sand the silicone first with really fine sandpaper....
Also the primer has to be oil based same with the color.....work both with 2 coats

Wouldn't a clear coat of 3m or scotch guard do the trick without adding any of the "cracking" or stiffness issue ? I'm no expert, but if dust attraction seems to be the problem you would mostly likely just want to seal the original surface.....

Me too. Noticed it right away. That would drive me crazy. I think some silver touch up paint should take care of it.

I would tape it off very carefully and just paint it all black. Seems like you would get a better result that way, chrome may be tough to match.. my 2 cents..

Anybody knows? On the original back door cover there's these two lil metal dots that look like they connect to the phone when you snap it on. I want to get one of those flip cases but not through Samsung since they charge so much. The third party covers are built the same but are missing the two metal dots.

Yes, the NFC chip is in the back cover, so you would need to buy a cover that has NFC.
