anyone else got a moulding mark in the bottom right corner of their GN ?
its a short line on the flat bit.
It's definatly a moulding mark, not a crack, I have had it under a magnifing glass.
if we're talking about the same thing,I have them on all 4 corners of my phone. looks almost like a seem in the plastic.

Wouldn't it be awesome? To buy a gold faceplate off eBay and install it yourself and end up having a shiney new gold phone. Beat that iSheep! But however I don't think it is possible simply because of the way the the phone was designed - and that was thinness first. Samsung has fused all those layers of glass (glass, touch screen, and digitizer[?]) together so we get a thinner product, but harder physical customisations/repairs. I might be wrong though, has anyone here replaced the faceplate/screen of their SGS3? Would it be possible to spray paint even the faceplate without getting the screen too?
What is your guys opinion on the way this phone was designed? (In relation to thinnest VS hard repairs, not how god damn ugly Apple made Samsung design the phone) Also, if you could, what color(s) would you paint your SGS3?

Really? I wonder how exactly they do it. There isnt anything on ebay thats like "Change your frame for Galaxy S3!" The only way i can seen it is to replace your screen as well. But that limits us to only white, blue and red frames. No to mention its a hefty ~$230

They do it for s3s? I would ship them mine if they could make it black lol i want it so bad

I also use the mercury red screen protector. I have a red back housing too with a brushed aluminum metal. Looks sick. Ill upload pics if ur interested.
Sent from my patent infringing Galaxy S3.
actually.. i would love it if you can post pics. I heard they leave abit of a gap on the side.. wondering how true that is.
Oh, and where did you buy it from? (amazon?)
brush aluminum facial plate frame, i have a thread on this, includes a aluminum home button.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852791
Theres 3 options to change the color right now
Mercury screen protectors. Leaves a 2mm gap all around the phone so i wouldnt recommend it.

This new glass colored screen protector. (Waiting on somebody on a different thread to upload pics so I can see if there are any gaps)

And finally the Aluminize Skinplayer. Aluminium Frame I ordered mine so I'll post pics once I receive it. Hopefully there aren't any gaps. It comes with a Home Button sticker.

Sorry mputtr, i didn't see your post before. I will look it up now, thanks for your responses!

I've seen the aluminum cases and they look nice. I'm curious as to if they have a negative impact on the signal strength/ reception. If they don't, I'd be tempted to get one myself!
Yea the housing looks nice. I guess the goal for us all is to have a different colored S3, but preferably without adding bulk to it. The Mercury screen protectors are nice actually, as well as the replacement back cover/housing. So I guess there were more options available that i didnt know about when i started this thread.

I'm still looking at the mercury protectors but it seems that there are 2 versions. a flat one that leaves a 2mm gap from the edge and a curved one that fits perfectly.
I'm still trying to figure out if there's a way to get the curved one. but that is an option for you.
EDIT: and the housing.. you can always buy the housing and spraypaint it yourself.. or even handpaint it if you have the artistic skills.
I have a bezel and home button with infused "diamonds". No stickers etc. Looks nice with the Pebble Blue screen and battery cover.
I have the att optimus g and the bottom right hand corner of the screen seems to be raised a little bit. It doesn't compress or move at all if you push down on it and it is only very slightly raised. Is this something that is normal with this phone? Should I worry about it?

I would get it waranty replaced since it's a manufacturing defect. Does it effect case fitting or screen protector ?
I haven't tried to put a case or screen protector on yet, but I don't imagine it would effect them. It still feels very solid. I may just try to reseat the screen myself or something.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
I do not have any sort of screen lift, my device is very solid E971.
I just tried putting a case on it and it doesn't effect it all. It seems to be an almost non issue, but instead something that is just frustrating because the device is brand new. My nexus 7 has the screen lifting issue, and this is no where near as and as that.

Does the bezel is so fragile? I know from my S1 that its scratching easily or peel off, but i have the phone for 2 weeks and a strange dent appeared on lower rigth bezel near the display, but i haven't dropped the phone and Im the only one who is using it. The dent looks more like someone stucked a pencil tip between the bezel and display and some part of the bezel lifted away from the spot.
Edit: Saw now that this is the Note 1 forum, sry for mistake, I have a Note 2.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
The bezel on my Note 2 is scratched a little in the cornets but I have dropped the phone, also a tiny part off my screen is scratched but because I lend my phone to my mom and she put it in her purse. But the bezel being separated from the display have never happened to me
Sent from my GT-N7100
Yea I got exactly what you're talking about but mine was because I dropped mine on a hard surface. The bezel has even pulled off from some of the corners. I'm looking for a way to take the entire chrome off.

Hey...I am using i9192. My phone fell for approximately 7 times to ground. And I got some (most) of the border silver colour. Is there anyway to repaint it back?

Haha, i rather you take everything apart on your device, select the part which you wanna repaint cos i think its safer that way. I too have "dings" on my S4 Mini, im yet to find a skin for it.

Mine has come nearly 100% off... It was looking weird because some chunks had come off and i decided to sand it all off, it doesn't look great but atleast it looks even now... Now it has a white grey plastic kind of look... I'm trying to find a skin at the moment, let me know if you find anything or get it painted
Try cutting a piece of paper tape to the thickness of the edges, and then painting the color you want the tape and then gluing it.
It's a bit seedy but good.
