Hello!
I have a question, my side and front-side, close to the volume and power button, close to the usb input and on the side of the SIM too (white color) are damaged with small risks. Is there any replacement for that area? The Dbrand Front Skin dont cover that area, on Toast don't cover too.
Is possible to make a final polishing with sandpaper, or that will appeat the black paint background?
@ EDIT
I see that link:
Air Jacket Grip for Moto X
This appears to protect my side and all my moto X against that risks, but I still need information to repair the actual damage. I really care about my Moto X and wounder It all new again.
What do you mean by risks?

Ohh...i mean scratches on the painting, and the back white color are more 'black and dirty' than the white front color.
I will use a sandpaper on the painting and post the results here.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
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.
Has anyone else had quality problems with this case? Had this about 2 weeks now and it's been in my pocket on its own with nothing else and the corners have broken off and now there is a massive crack along the back of the case. Not what I expected from a piece of official kit, would not recommend anyone buying this item at all. See photos

I had the same thing happen. I didn't even carry mine in my pocket, and yet I had a corner break off within two weeks of getting it. I basically decided that this case is a piece of junk. I was also expecting better quality from an OEM case. I ended up getting this one... http://www.amazon.com/Aluminum-Fash...kaging/dp/B00IHT4DQS/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top . It doesn't have the lens attachment, but it's held up well for over a month.
I bought one as well and it broke after a few days of use. First it had cracks then the bottom corners broke off. Don't buy this!
Has anyone had any problems with the white case or is it just the black one?
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
White one is just as bad. I got one and after just few days the corners started cracking.

I got both colour
They r all the same
Cracked without colliding
And chipped off when i was pulling my z1 from pocket.
Yep its rubbish quality and always felt as though the sharp edges were scratching the Z1 upon installation or removal. So neatly cut out the attachment part and merely glued it to a TPU case, its not 100% perfect but it is better than the spring loaded jaws.
Is it normal for the screen to rainbow with pressure (force)?
I noticed a slight rainbow on the right edge of the screen when I put pressure (not light, I would say medium pressure).
I noticed when applying a screen protector and pushing bubbles out with my thumb with pressure.
Is this normal or a defect?

For a PC Monitor it is normal, but that is a solid Smartphone with Gorilla Glass.
I don't think that it's normal.
Depending on how high the pressure really is.
Do you have this effect only on one side (right) or on all sides?
You should check all sides with normal pressure,if the display springs back and for on one side.
That can be an indication that the display on this spot is loose.
If that is the case, you should talk with your distributor.
On my m8 the Display was loose on the left side.
I've checked it on my One X and on my One m7 and I don't have this effect.

Did you bother to exchange it for your M8 or you didn't care enough?
Mines mostly on the right side, with a good amount of pressure.

If you're getting a rainbow, its not seated right which will cause durability issues. Exchange it.

It's not a rainbow, it's a grey colour that only happens with a good amount of pressure on the right side edge of my screen. Again, only with pressure and not in actual usage of phone. Does this warrant exchange?

Not only that the Screen was loosed on the left side.
On Day 10, the Display died, black Screen without backlight.
Now it's on the way back to the distributor for a replacement.
You should contact the dealer for a replacement as well.

Nope the display is excellent. I have to put a good amount of pressure on that side for it to show a small amount of grey on the edge.

Then it is ok.
When the display is seated firmly,there is no reason to be concerned.
You are talking of a very high pressure.
Wow! If you press hard enough on any screen it will show discoloration for a brief moment. The amount of crap that gets posted sometimes ridiculous and comical.

So replace it then. It shouldn't be happening with a glass screen. If it is, something is obviously wrong.

You guys are special. I guarantee if you replace it, the next device will do it too. And with that being said I am done with this obnoxiously dumb thread
This is a defect. One of my Units was grey/yellowish on right side all The time on black screen. When i pressed carefully it was waves around The screen. The screen is misplaced and under pressure. Thats why it happens.

This isn't a resistive screen, its capacitive. It should take a good deal of pressure to cause any discoloration or banding on these types of screens. When yours breaks, I don't want to see you post about it or I'll make sure to refer you to this post.

not so dumb, u are a prize muppet so if u have nothing better to post than this crap Eff off yeah? Also your lack of posts and thanks indicate you must have some sort of noob rage, hillarious.
Anyway i cannot replicate it anywhere on my screen as its solid. OP should exchange as this is not normal
Mine is also the same as op but those T-Mobile dicks refused to exchange it since the display model did the same. I guess it's not too big of a deal doesn't show up unless I press with my fingernail with medium pressure. Normal touches doesn't do anything. Plus there's a 1 year warranty if it'll break hopefully it's within this period

So what's the final verdict on the Camera Lens mine is pretty scratched how would I get rid of those?
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Best method I've used is toothpaste. Get some and rub it on there then clean off. Gives like a waxing effect you would do to a car. Helps if pictures are not coming out clear. If you have scratches and clear pictures well then nothing to complain about. It's glass, it gets scratched by anything it comes in contact with. The beauty of glass huh?
Any special type of paste ? White ? Clear ? Gel ? Extra whitening ?
HTC M8
You don't want the extra whitening cuz the camera already over exposes the pics enough as it is

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.
