Here is my attempt at painting my galaxy nexus. I did 4 coats of vinyl & fabric paint from auto zone. I used 400 sandpaper on both the battery cover and frame. This is in no way perfect, it was my first time and I plan on redoing it again. With a clear coat.
I learned: MASKING IS KEY!
and for my results:
I will re paint it when it starts fading or I get chips. I will most likely keep the back cover white and do the frame red and buttons white or black. But for not its fine. If anyone has any question I will do my best to help =]

It looks terrible
i'm usually not a fan of white phones, but crikey, that is beautifully done. excellent work.
Nicely Done.
Looks pretty good. I did mine metallic blue like a few people did on here. I only did one coat for starters because I wanted to see how long one coat would last with a layer of lacquer before it started to chip a bit, only took three weeks and now I have two nicks. Gonna pick up some bright blue rustoleum at Advance Auto today and probably repaint on friday with two or three coats. That last picture does make the battery cover seem buldgy though, is it actually like that or just a bad angle?
You need to use a softer sandpaper,and when you spray primer (if you sprayed it)brush it with a soft 1000 sandpaper under water,and use much much less paint. Car painter here

Ya I'll do 800-1000 grit with a layer of primer, then 2 coats of red and then 1 clear next time

Thanks but there are still some parts on the case I can't remove and I dont think it would work well if I dip it under water lol so I'll just dip the sandpaper in water

I was in the same situation a week ago, I had my white note that I loved but for some reason I really wanted the grey one. My roomate bought the white one from me and I ordered a grey one that I have since Tuesday. To be honest with you they are both great (in my opinion) , sometimes I see my roomate using the white one and I say to myself "damn it is actually very nice maybe I should have kept it" but im very happy with the titanium grey, I like the black S pen better. The grey one is also less flashy.

I'm undecided, but leaning towards getting the white Note 2 when it comes out here in the states. I've always had a black phone since back when I had my Touch pro, Evo, S2. Grey seems too much like the black for me.

I agree. Get the gray official flip case and ta da it will make your phone into the gray one since it totally replaces the back cover.

I ordered one last month, but received a note II case instead. So now its going to take about a month for me to get my case smh, ( ships out of hong kong so it takes about 2 weeks to get)
I have one, they're definitely nice, the buttons press a little too easy (I end up turning my volume up when I press the power) and I lost roughly 1 bar of service, but otherwise I love the case. I'd say look on eBay for them, I got one that was only like $18 instead of the one I see most times that like $30+

Hi all.
My wife has a note 2 and the screen got cracked (not the digitiser) Not insured and I wasn't about to pay £289 cheeky gits lol.
I got a replacement screen and followed a youtube tutorial on how to replace.
I got the glass off fine and have put the screen on but keep getting an air bubble appear. I've tried different adhesives and still the same... Has anyone else come across this or is anyone able to shed some light on a solution.
Thanks for your time.
And yes I made it kind of hybrid with a black home button... Completely by mistake ha ha (when ordering make sure you get the right colour... Duh)
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
Yes, there's a solution. Spend millions on a specially designed cleanroom and laminating equipment.
If you can't manage that, your choice are:
a) Live with the bubble
b) Spend the $289 for a proper sealed unit
Sorry dude.
Thanks for the sarcasm... That really helped.
For anyone that might be interested. I found the solution.
The sides require more clearance. So I put more tape on the sides and that has got it sorted.
Easy after all that messing!

How is the quality? Is viewing experience same or are there changes on colors/brightness etc.?
you can try special UV glue for phone digitizers you can find it on ebay. but than you also need strong UV lamp. check some youtube video =)
From what I can tell in comparison to my s4 the quality is very good hardly noticeable... Very happy
