Bro... skinit.com ? Why go through all that hassle rather than stick a decal on it? Cmon work smarter not harder.

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.

You can't powder coat 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)

If you installed it just right, ghost armor would cover it

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..

C-Pen. Just ordered! Does anyone have it?

I love the idea of the c-pen.
Does anyone have any feedback?

Hopefully u don't use a screen protector. It makes it not work as well. Other than that I live mine. The only thing I don't like is the fact that its so big and I have to carry it around separately. I'm working on just using the tip in a smaller body with a clip that I can attach to the fold of the flip cover so that it doesn't interfere with it closing.
Other than that I love it. Oh yea, you can't use it on any other device.....

I like mine, but yea you have to press kind of hard if you have a screen protector,
Btw I can use my Cpen on wife's note 10.1
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

I don't have have a note 10.1 to test.... I can see it working on that as the screen is similar to ours. Same with the note and note 2. As far as iphones, iPads, my transformer etc. It will work if u push extremely hard.... feels like I'll break the glass though if I do. Its because the tip is so fine, roughly half the size of a standard stylus
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

it's to my understanding that the reason the C-Pen won't work on most other devices is because the Galaxy S3 and a few other Samsung devices have a higher "resolution" (if you will) touch sensor. Basically it doesn't require as much of a contact patch to detect touch.

I don't think there exists display technology to allow for truly bezel-free designs like that render. Also, the round pebble design looks horrible with the bezel-free screen.
I hope Samsung moves away from the pebble design and starts taking design cues from the Oppo Find 5.

The specs are freaking awesome and I love the design except that it has no bezel, they seriously need one. Just don't make it thick

They had the keyboard concept for the "iphone5" concepts. I guess it will be fine more thing for apple to whine about

it's the box around the screen. It help you not accidentally touch the screen.

Looked like it had a bezel when it was setting on the dock.

Does changing back cover break NFC?

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.

Or just peel it of and put it on your new case since it is a sticker and will peel right off and sick to the new case.

This is true but aluminum covers will not work even if you do this.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

You can also buy the nfc chip on ebay for about $4. It will stick right in the stock location.
