A bit of caution when picking out screen protectors
I had to cut the edges on my AT&T screen protectors due to the nature of the soft back which when pressure is applied to the front causes lifting on the screen protector's 4 corners. The dimensions are fine but the radius is too small for the corners causing them to protrude ... just cut them a little but I would have preferred to have 100% perfect screen protectors instead of half assed ones from AT&T ... why am I not surprised.

I purchased the same protector. I have the same issue as well. Makes it look really cheap with the corners sticking up.
I had that, plus since I am opening mine a LOT for hacking, the bottom looks like crap.
Looks like I am going to replace the protector within a week of getting the phone.
Just wrap the whole phone in plastic wrap with the back off. Then slip it on.
Bad idea most likely, but it would be funny if it worked well.
same issue. Trimmed the corners. It doesn't look that great, but doesn't peel up when i hit the corner on something. I'm on the third protector already. First one i screwed up the orientation and got dust under it when fixing. second peeled up when i hit one of the corners.
must be those poor quality screen protector. there us not much of an option atm. i would rather get a HTC HD mini screen protector and punch a hole on it.
I just had Ghost Armor put on my iPhone 3G (which I'm handing to my daughter when my Aria comes in). It's pretty nice, but the Aria isn't showing up on their website yet. And you would only really want to get the screen done, since you open up the phone to get to the battery and the SD Card.
Yep, I cut them carefully and used the scotch tape method to get perfect placement.

Can you elaborate on the "scotch tape method"?
I ordered invisible gadget guard from amazon. Havent put it on yet, but that packaging sure makes it look impressive.
Before separating the films I placed tape to use as handles to apply the protector flat (instead of holding it).
Then after layed down on the screen pulled up and slid tape underneath to attract any particles which cause bubbles. Slide with sticky side face up so it pulls from the protector's sticky film (rarely do the particles stick to the screen itself).

Has anybody noticed the quality of these are not that great?
Have had on for 3 days. There are a LOT of scratches on the protector itself. I usually keep phone in jean pockets with a wallet.
Anybody plan on trying the Amzer ones, although I have heard their quality may be dubious too for the n1.

I ordered this, and it shipped today. I got my 8 GB card in the mail today, too. I kind of wished I had gotten a 16 GB card, since my whole music collection is about 8 GB. But I may pick up another 8 GB as my "backup film roll" at a later time.

I can't believe I didn't figure out this solution earlier. Obviously, trimming the excess on the corners would solve the issue, but I wasn't comfortable using a razor blade to make the trims. But just 5 minutes ago, it occurred to me to use a nail clipper (while already installed on the phone, and the back plate removed). Worked perfectly, was super easy, and did no damage to the phone.
Yeah that didnt occur to me either. I used small crafting scissors.

Same thing happened to me, just on the bottom corners though, but as soon as I put my case on it covered up those bubbles, cant even see it. Quality of the protector seems to be decent. I used a universal one prior and it was ****!
I ordered the stealth guard though for the phone (full body protection) just now so when that comes I'll let you guys know how that works out as well.
I used the Invisible Gadget Guard that someone else mentioned (got it off ebay though, not amazon, it's the exact same one however). The quality of it is definitely top notch, I've had it on for a little over a month now and it has no scratches/marks that are visible without actually looking for them and even then there are minimal and very minor ones. My one complaint with it is the top two corners did start to peel a bit, I ended up peeling it up a tad and cutting them (with difficulty, this thing is tough!) and reapplying that part and I haven't had a problem since! I do have a few blemishes down the left side due to my clumsiness during the initial applicaton, but the case covers it for the most part
i tried the invisisheild and did not like the rubbery feel, got at t sheild it is a hard plastic and fingers slide much better, yes i had to trim but no big deal there. all you have to do is put the protector on the phone with back cover off, then take a new sharp razor blade at about 50 degree angle to the edge of glass and trim excess off. 3 months now and have not lifted any corners. these are much better than the rubber vinly covers that tend to stretch and need trimming as well.
I have this phone in black. I am interested in looking into "coloring" it. I would use a plastic based spraypaint for the battery cover, but I have no idea in what direction to go in for coloring the rest of the phone. I would be interested in making the sides a color very similar to the silver on the S3 and the front to be white. I know that I essentially just described the white variant of the S2, but what would be beautiful is that the samsung logo would no longer be visible and you would not see the buttons. Any ideas comments or concerns?
Most paints will scratch easily but if you have an airbrush they do have metalizer paints which do look similar to the chrome look your looking for

Im not extremely worried about scratching because i do not drop it much. Also, if i noticed it scratching easily in my pocket or whatever i could always re paint it and put an invisible shield on it

Lol if you want to take spray pain to your phone go right ahead.. i can see a sprint tech already not wanting to work on it since its painted lol.. would look pretty nice though if it went smoothly.. but if painting it y go with somthin similar to whats already out? Might as well try to get an exchange for a white one lol
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
I did something extremely similar to my Hero CDMA back before I got this phone and it went pretty smoothly(Can attach pics if requested) and Sprint had no problem repairing it when my End button went dead. I do not wanna spray paint the front of this phone however because it is covered by glass which the Hero was not.
I remember a thread earlier in the year where someone painted the battery door for a brushed silver look, though I couldn't find it. If my memory serves he had to wet sand with a super fine grit sand paper. I think it's not a bad idea to find a way to repaint in custom colors, or at least a variation not seen on phones. Interested in what you find out about this topic.
Yes I also saw the one about the battery door. He used sandpaper and chapstick haha. I was interested in doing a gunmetal silver also. I'm not usually a guy for color. I like simple variants of white and black on phones. I do know how to fix up the battery door as it is a separate part and it seems pretty easy, but I have no idea where to start with the shell and front. The shell might be decently easy once I disassemble if I use a non-water based paint made for light metals, but the front has me stumped. How can I get to it when it is covered by glass. I know the simple solution is to remove the glass, but after that does it go back on?
You could experiment with vinyl rather than paint on the front. I have ordered from metrorestyling.com before and they shipped fast.
I could use that on the sides too. Thank you so much for that.
Are there any case haterz on this forum, who run their phones without any kind of cases / back stickers etc ?
Could you post some photos, facts, knowledge how well the phone stands everyday usage ?
I have been using case since day one, but i just can't stand it anymore. Did I buy alluminium phone to put it in rubber case or stick plastic sheet of foil on it to lose the feeling of alluminium ? No !
I drop my phone very rarely, actually i have never droppped it (knock knock), only time it hit ground it was clumsy bird's (jokin clumsy friend's hands) fault. My only concern is lens protector. On one side its nicely hidden in the rim, but at the other lens cover is protruding just a very litle bit. I am attaching picture to illustrate it a bit. It is side look.
There's a "hole" in the phone body, so the lens should be all hidden / drown and there should be 1 milimeter gap, when i place phone on table. On one side there is, on other lens is in line with body.
Grey - phone
White - gap for lens cover
Black - lens cover
Mods, please do not delete this topic - this has already happened in past (moved to accesories thread), but it get lost very easily, i try to debate with users without accesories.
Thanks
i did for apprx 4 months when i first bought the device, now i'm using crystal clear case to not to hide devices body.
i bought a case after i saw scratches on camera lens, luckly camera lens got replaced after service for red tint.
also shiny exposed alumium around the device got scratched and deformed a bit.
I also am not a fan of big bulky cases. One of the main reasons I bought this phone is because it is so damn beautiful (compared to most other phones). I've always joked about how iPhone fans typically rave about how "sleek" and "thin" their phones are, yet they walk around with them wearing the equivalent of a down-filled parka that is anything but "sleek".
I did compromise a bit, just because I want to keep my phone looking nice. I found the Cimo clear case. It is very thin, and very clear. It has just enough of a "lip" around the edge so that the screen of the phone won't contact the ground when it is lying down (or dropped on its face). The soft rubbery cushioning should also protect against dings on the corners and back, as well as prevent scratches. All without sacrificing the beauty of the phone. I paid $10 on Amazon for it.
NEH,
I did not buy a unibody aluminium finish phone to hide it behind chinese plastic covers. Thats not my style. I have pretty much the same type of use like yours. The only thing that has happened with me is that the beats audio red sticker at the behind bottom plate is now fading off. Nothing else. Just keep keys/card holder and coins in other pocket. I dont think you need a plastic cover.
When I had my One I used the HTC hard shell - minimal design but clear so you could still see the phone. Best case I had IMO
http://shop.emea.htc.com/uk/p_htc_store_product.aspx?i=251537
Whether you can still get it is another question
I've been using this case works well still shows the phones great looks and protect it all around.

Guys, thanks for all the replies.
But this thread is strictly about naked devices - no cases at all !
well ii put a case on it.... next time its still usable years down the road
Mine has had nothing on it except a transparent skin on the back since i bought it last May. Still looks great...
Yeah I've been running mines nekkid since I got it last April, just couldn't bring myself to spend money to cover such a good looking device. Other than some wear marks around the shiny beveled edge, there's no obvious signs of age.
I'm not rough on it, but I don't baby it either. I have dropped it a few times(on purpose, just to show people how durable it is), and run my knife across the screen and back, but no damage.

And what about lens cover ? Is yout lens completely hidden, or do you have it like me ? Hidden on one side, flush with body on the other.
Do you use any kind of pouch or something ?
never ever use a case defeats point of having such a wonderful design,have a leather pouch when not in us and just treat it like a baby when in use 6 months on still pristine not a mark

My lens cover is slightly recessed, so no, not like you, but haven't had any damage to it. No pouch or anything, just keep it in my pocket with my change.

No case.
I am careful when I lay it down on certain surfaces.
And I try *very* hard never to let it slip out of my hands and fall.
No damage due to general wear. I dented the back slightly and roughed up one corner slightly.
Totally worth it. Love the feel and thinness of the phone.

this is how i use mine. transparent cover over the back which i only put on because the aluminum is actually very slippery for me and the clear skin provides better grip so i dont drop it. clear cover over the screen and im good to go. few small areas around the front bevel where the blue has worn away but other than that its prefect. i never use a case, defeats the purpose of having a thin phone.
I Have been using it without cover, but in December it has fallen on the road so i ordered some cheap one from the e-bay.
So now, i am using it with cover, but i lost that great metal feeling of the phone.
Here is an example with and without cover

I use no covers, just matte screen protector (I like the way my display looks with it). Bought it in June 2013. It fell on the floor several times, it got only one scratch on the top (on the lright corner), but it still looks amazing! As it's always in my pocket, lately the "beats audio" logo on the back is going away slowly... but i use nothing to protect it

+1. Dont know how long I would keep the phone. But while I have it might as well enjoy the quality feel of it.
My HTC One is about two weeks old. I love it so much, I can't bring myself to cover this baby up.
Also, I am paying for a warranty, so if anything happens to it I'll get a new one, or maybe the M8 if they run out =D
I've been debating between getting the black vs silver version and I just thought of something this morning. Would scratches be more visible on the black version? I prefer the black version but if after a few months it has a bunch of visible white scratches then I would def prefer to get the silver. What do you guys think?
I want the black version too and now you made me paranoid haha hopefully it isn't silver with black coating
I imagine if the black one gets scratches, it will be silver underneath. If the silver one scratches, it will still be silvery underneath.

I agree, which makes me question black as my intended purchase, but I really think the black is the better look and will just have to try and keep it looking good.
It's stainless steel, not anodized aluminum. It'll take a hell of a lot to scratch it, but I don't know what process they used on the black.

I had a black steel watch years ago while in the military. It was my "work" watch. The black stayed black even after years of abuse. If they use then proper process to make the steel black it should wear just fine.
Thanks for your responses. I'm still not sure. The silver looks great too, so I might just get silver to just avoid the risk.
The best coating on watches is called PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) and is (usually) black. If they use that coating then you won't have to worry about it scratching. I hope they use it.
I would like the black version as well, I think it looks good and especially also smaller then the silver one
however, I'm afraid it will scratch quite easily going by the latest pictures form this italian blog
in one of the pictures, imo you can see 2 scratches right next to the strap:

Might be the lighting, but yeah it looks like scratches to me. I ordered the silver one because of this. For $250 I'm not sure what kind of blackening process we can expect, but I will wait until reviews until I buy a 2nd black one, I'd like to be able to switch between the 2.

a bit off-topic here, but the LG G Watch R seems to use that kind of coating:

maybe interesting for all of you who - like myself - are disappointed by the bad inital reports regarding Moto 360's battery life
did u guys saw the gallery from the italian guy that reviewed it last month??
on his gallery it was clearly visible that scratches on the coating revealed the silver underneath
thats why i have now chosen to take the silver even tho the black one is much sexier

My exact thoughts! I have had the Pebble Steel in black and I dropped the thing when I was resizing it and fell on the carpet, and even that put a mark on the stupid band lol. Not a scratch, but the matte black was not matte in the areas where it fell. You couldn't see it straight on, but I knew it was there lol. These are the bands people are now using to replace the stock ones that can be bought at your local Best Buy.
I have a lot of other watches that are stainless/brushed steel so black, even though looks kicks ass wouldn't look so good on me. I'm constantly running into things like my 6 year old lol.
This was my exact thought and bought a silver one. Plus, I'm very used to a silver watch. It tends to go with everything. Black I am sure would too but I feel like silver metal bands are also easier to find in more variety.
I doubt the black watch was painted. Probably power coated or something which is very durable. As for scratches, it depends on how hard you hit it and on what surface. Personally, I'm waiting for tempered glass protectors for the face. I hate scratches on watch faces.
Has anyone gotten a black one yet and noticed any scratches?
If you like the black one but you are afraid of scratches, just get one of these full-body skins: http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi®-TechSkin-Replacement-Definition-Anti-Bubble/dp/B00J400P98

I dropped my black one on tile and nothing happened, I heard the case hit too... also I just scratched at it with a razor blade and you can see little lines in the reflection but it's still black :good:

Hi all,
Have had my 10 since release day have had it in a case and screen protector since day one, both expensive ones too, tempered and a tech 21, now the tech 21 allowed a little bit of grit to get underneath the case and through pressure from my pocket or handling, the grit has etched a small scratch from the gun metal paint on the back at the top of the phone. I've now got a phantomskinz skin on it so it's covered but I wondered if anyone has ever matched the paint colour and type and attempted to either spray or touch up a mark?
There is no dents, literally just a chip from the paint, really annoyed me, tech 21 have been superb for me in the past.
I also have a friend who has dropped his literally the day he thought he didn't need a case and has a few scratches on the back, it was actually him who suggested painting it, at first I thought no way but thought I'd ask on here just in case anyone has ever committed to trying to paint their phone, htc 10 or not and how did you get along?
I'm sure we're not alone in having the odd scratch or two on our shiney htc 10s.
Any thoughts? Places who may do the job or what the colour or paint type is specifically? Is it treated? With what?,

Aye, they'd look a lot better if we could just touch them up when they took a knock.
You could theoretically paint these all-metal phones pretty easily. You would, however, need to completely disassemble the phone to get just the back shell (in this case specifically) so that you could begin prep work on it for paint/powder coating.
You would first use a high grit sanding on it to rough the surface up for adhesion. Then you either:
a)apply paint
b)begin process of powder coat
Too much effort, in all honesty, for this device though. I've watched a fair number of tear down videos, and the 10 looks to be as bad, if not worse, than the M8/M9 to take apart. I have to replace my screen on my M8, to keep it for my new burner device, so I may take it entirely apart and paint it electric blue by hand. Either that, or do a high polish on it, and get it shiny.

I wouldn't take the device apart to be honest. I think if the paint was matched a small brush could cover the scratches.
Anyone else got any ideas or suggestions besides tearing down and breaking out some spray paint.

That's what I mean, it's the tiny blemishes that are the easiest to cover up but still annoying, if you get a scratch on your car you can get it resprayed or touched up same with paint on walls at home or pretty much anything I'm surprised that a service like this doesn't already exist.

The OP mentioned using one already. Skins are basically stickers that'll fade and peel over time and the corners will start to lift in cases where you don't apply perfectly, like a screen protector.
To the OP, may sound silly but some car paint shops have machines that match a materials color down to the H/S/V and can supply touchup paint. Have you looked into that?

I haven't mate, but I have to say I agree, ultimately something on a smaller scale would be ideal.
Have been quite busy these last few days but will be actively looking into it next week and may even price up some paint if I can match up the colour and type, I have a friend who does custom jobs (cars) so he may know more. Will let you guys know if I find anything worth mentioning.
Cheers for the idea.

I have a phantom skinz skin, which is solid and really stuck on there, looks great but defeats the object when you know there are blemishes or scratches underneath, if you were to resell the phone, a few scratches could really impact the price.
