I have the vibrant and it's an amazing phone, etc etc etc.
The only thing is that my dad used it before i got it and he didn't have it in a case so, although the screen is virtually impeccable, the battery cover has some light scratches and scuffs.
What are some tips you guys have to inexpensively rid the battery door of light scratches?
You could maybe give car wax a try if you have any handy

use a mild abrasive like car polish then follow up with a wax if you want a sheen. this normally gets rid of decent scratches on the car from dirt racing so it should work on the back cover. rmr less is more. dont goop it on otherwise you will have a b***h of a time getting it off especially on such a small surface.
im scuffing mine up good in preparation for a paint job im tired of the faux carbon fibre look that just attracts finger prints too much.
you could also do what im doing and take some sand paper scuff it up then use a spray paint to cover it, then a clear coat on top to protect the paint. not sure how thats going to turn out yet tho.
You can buy new battery doors on eBay for like $5 bucks. You can get all different cool patterns and colors (I have a metallic silver one on now), or get the stock Galaxy S/Samsung backs (black and purple).

I've been a (very) proud 3VO owner since July 2nd. I can be rough on my gadgets / phones, but i've been treating this one well. I have started to notice some of the black paint wearing off around the top of the metal bezel (specifically between the light sensor and the headphone plug). It is mainly on the sharp edge / corner, but is also showing in a few other places. I'm assuming it is from the phone being in my pocket rubbing on coins. Keys are always on a carabiner, knife is in other pocket, and don't carry a lighter.
My question is this: Has anyone actually sanded that piece down and polished it? I know it is not going to be a high grade metal, but I'd imagine if the phone was tore down that piece could be precisely sanded and buffed. Even if it was a little rough, a brushed metal look would be pretty slick looking around the phone. That bezel does have some printing on it around the camera button for "2D 3D Camera Mode", but who cares. We know what it does.
I'm afraid after a few months of use this thing will look like it's been through hell and back.
Get a case.

A high gloss polish would look too iphoney (2g/3g variants.)
And a brushed metal style would look too similar to LG line of current phones. In my opinion.
But.. To me. I like how roughed up metal looks. So, some worn paint, maybe some rust spots would look kinda bad ass to me. Lol.

Well thats the thing I have NEVER dropped my E3D and it has been in a Otterbox Defender since the day I bought it. I pulled it out to clean it and make sure there was no dust in there and I noticed the paint chips.
I am not kidding, use a sharpie marker, looks damn good.

I just bought mine this past weekend but if this is a wide spread problem it'll suck. I wonder if a fine grain would remove the black paint without roughing up the medal. If I were to do this will it void the terms of the sprint protection plan? Heck I wonder if they will fix this problem under the TEP program.

Answer: No, it's not a problem, it's normal wear and tear.
OP, you could definitely try your idea. But in addition to that, I put any coins I have in my other pocket. Nothing goes in the same pocket as my 3D except maybe a piece of paper on occasion.

I've dropped my phone where the metal bezel has a scratch and now is bare. Using a sharpie marker works but the marker wears off after a while. I used a sharpie marker and then used a tpu case. The problem solved.....for now.

I do have OCD and I have had a Otterbox Defender on my phone since the day I bought it! So I think its gonna keep happening no matter what I do!
I'm still in my 30 days and I also have dust under the screen so I might get a replacement anyway.
This aluminum frame that is on the front and sides of this phone is a really bad move by HTC... ive been xtra careful especially for my thirty day period... and rite ontop of front speaker there is a little white spec, it isnt a dent or scratch but a white small mark.. I see more problems to come with this aluminum front... And im not the one who likes wearing rubbers for protection i like my phone naked and just wear a phone holder on belt.. this is just another problem for the evo3d.... this along with the signal.,heat issues maybe because of radio, stupid sensative cheap power button.. all making me go back to my e4g... never had any of those issues i just mentoned.
I've got a small dot exposing the metal on mine. Its not that noticeable but just in case I now have a case on it.
Well as luck would have it I noticed something white on one of the corners of the phone do I rubbed it with my thumb and some of the black paint came off, same thing happened with the bottom corner. This phone is just 5 days old! I haven't had many of the problems manifest as discussed in other threads so I wouldn't want to return it but I am certainly contemplating it.

Yep it doesn't matter how careful you its gonna happen! Even with a case it happened to me then I took my case off for 3 days and another one showed up and I treat my phone like gold I am actually way over protective with it. I'm thinking of taking it back and getting the NS4G! I have dust under my screen now the paint is chipping and my rear speaker sounds like ****, I'm just scared the problems I have now are only gonna get worse.
Wow another problem. I too have paint chipping on the left side on the lower part by the screen. I rubbed it thinking it was dust and now it's silver. It also looks like the plating is slightly bent. And I also have a small white dot right under the sense on the metal part. Looked at my Shift and 4G and I see nothing like this and I used the hell out of those. As opposed this one, which is already a replacement for other issues.
Its 3 days old ffs. I've barely used it. Exchanging it is useless, its the build quality. It's going to happen to all EVO 3Ds sooner or later, even with a case and super care. Within a few months it will look like crap.
Oh well, I'm definitely returning this, but I'll do it after I have some fun with it. I hope the SGS2 has superior build quality, I think I can live without Sense from now on.
My wife has never dropped hers. But its bad. I dropped my phone once on some rocks. Small silver scratch on the face.

cut some paper the size of the battery, and stick them between the battery and the case. Add/take away sheets of paper till the case still closes but the creak is gone. We did this on the droid bionic, did wonders for the terrible creak of the phone. I haven't had to much creak with the rezound, but been meaning to do this with the phone.
yeah, I notice that as well with my unit. It is a little annoying. I have to say while the phone is nice, the build quaility really needs a little better.
You'll get used to it. No big deal.
The TPA case that goes only around the edges (sold on htcpedia.com) helps reduce this. It fits the regular back and OEM extended battery back. Best case I've ever had on a phone.

I bought the extended battery and back and that TPA case that goes around the edges but leaves the back exposed does a great job of squeezing the back and phone together and eliminating the squeeks. I like the regular size battery but with the TPU case, I use the extended battery all the time.
solution is too buy a 3rd party case.
My original Rezound didnt creak, but my replacement one does a bit. I notice it most when I'm cleaning the screen, cause that seems to put the most pressure on it. Sticking a bandaid on the battery seems to have helped it a lot though..
i put a thin piece there to stop the creaks, which it did..it's funny though, now my rezound easily spins in circles on a table hahah..that THIN piece of paper was enough to bulge the middle of teh back cover out to make it spinny!
Don't forget that paper is an insulator. That's why homeless people use newspaper as a blanket. Your phone will retain more heat, longer with paper shoved inside it.
yeah, we voiced those concerns back wehn this topic came out like the week the phone came out haha..was always a problem..but most of us never really noticed any higher temps than normal..my phone never goes over like 42 degrees C, which is what, around 100 degrees F?
I'm pretty nit picky about my phone creaking and I've had a lot of time on my hands so recently I've given this topic way to much thought.....
The creaking is due to the plastic not fitting perfectly and the friction created when the battery door slightly moves around.
I sat down with a bottle cap, a q-tip, and a can of WD-40 (I know, I know, call me crazy if you must )
I filled up the bottle cap with WD-40 and dipped the q-tip in it. I carefully LIGHTLY applied it on all the connecting tabs on the battery door. Voila! Be careful to avoid all the antenna metal stuff so you don't mess up your reception.

It's an amazing case. I like it, except the belt clip has failed after 1 month of use.
Here's a photo of the point of failure. I took the phone out which is usually just clipped on just bit past the side of my hip near the back. And it came out with ease, and upon inspection the clip cracked.

I'm a stone mason, I cut stone on a regular basis....I take my 16 part Defender case off about every other day and clean the dust off of it. So I would say that it doesn't do great, but it doesn't suck in this department either.
I also use my holster because I'm just not a fan of putting this giant case/phone in my pocket, but the problem with that is that if you turn it screen out, well obviously that's just bad....if you turn it screen in, your camera is wide open - I usually end up using a q-tip or a shirt on the end of pen or something to clean the dust off of it.
I'm actually looking for some type of rubber plug of some sort to go over the camera on this defender case - no luck yet.
Overall though, I've dropped this phone in the defender a bunch of times on the worksite - nothing bad yet.

one problem i have with this case is the lil rubber flap that goes over the charge port.. it keep wearing down from opening it and closing it.. after a few months it just falls off.. they already sent me a new outter layer and it just happen again!!! kinda sux... i kno they will send another one put it just a pain in the a$$.. i mite just deal with it being off.. i work around dust sometimes but i put my phone in my backpack anyways..
I gave up on my Otterbox cause of that flap. I finally went with a screen protector and TPU case and I'll probably never go bad to a thick case again. Going thin bought a new found joy in my phone. Also that screen protector on the defender was horrible. I totally forgot how beautiful my screen looks without that horrible screen protector.

I used to use a TPU case and the invisishield HD screen protector. Was a great combo up until I noticed the bottom left corner of aluminum was bent. I was able to straighten it out and just recently ordered the OtterBox Defender and despite the extra bulk I am still happy with it.
I just contacted otterbox for another case replacement today. I have ran thru 3 cases and 2 clips now since June. The little dust flap for the charger port snapped off just from normal use charging once a day at nighttime. Still love the case and am definitely getting my $ worth.

When you take the cover off there is actually a plastic piece on the top of the cover where the IR sensor would be. Take that piece out before you do anything and then just put it back when you are done. Will not effect IR Blaster.

It really looks good in person. The grip is great. It wont slide around if it was on a smooth surface. It really feels like a really high end battery cover.
Ummm...I still prefer the stock look since that material doesn't look like it would be as comfortable.

Is plasti-Dip enough?

I plasti dip first so if I decided to take it off it would come off easy since the first layer is plasti dip and not just paint. You can definitely just use plasti dip but be aware that it might not last as long since you are constantly putting it you pocket. The edges might start to come off. After I painted the cover with a couple of coats, I also did a couple of coats of clear finish on it just to make sure.
Removing the back cover on my Verizon LG G2 was very easy. I picked a corner and was able to pull away the corner just enough to slide a plastic wedge in, and then i slowly and patiently moved it along the sides separating the cover from the phone. Just be careful and go slow and you shouldnt have any problems.
I wish I had the testicular fortitude to even think about trying it. Glad it worked out for you as that back has to be my one and only annoyance with the phone (other than the small buttons - but wireless charging is a nice trade off if that's what it took).

I bought this white back for the phone to see what i could do with it. I took the letters off because they were not stuck on there good. They came off with a dust can.
Decided to paint it a sliver color to match the frame as close as possible. I hand painted the inside of the letters black. I don't know what to do about the "M" yet, if i'm going to put one on there or not. Maybe something else, idk.
This is what I have so far. It looks like it has a brushed look to it. After I painted it, I scuffed it with a dish scrubber to give it that look.
Last thing I do, will be spray a satin clear.
That thread title though.
Looks good.

Definitely a cool option to have something unique like that.
This does look cool. But I wonder what kind of spray paint you used and even more importantly what kind of clear coat are you going to use to withstand bending? When one removes and puts back on one has to bend this cover a bit and I'm not sure how well will paint and coat withstand this?

I used rust-o-leum paint and clear. I'm not worried about the bending. I'm taking this one off in the next few days.
I started another one with a different silver. I wont be reusing the current one.
FYI they make paint for plastic (bendable) it's mostly for bumpers on cars
I took the cover off earlier and the paint held up very well, i didnt bend the cover a whole lot to begin... i wasnt going to use it again so i decided it to test how much bend it would take and i had to bend it a lot in order for the paint to wrinkle.
I tried doing something similar for my daughter that got bored by the same old phone sleeve/case that was partially clearly transparent and partially frosted look.
I decided to paint the frosted part using RAL 9005 matte black spray paint. I haven't clear coated it yet as it was just an experiment. If it turns out to be ok I may coast it using some not so rigid coat to avoid cracking due to the rubbery nature of this sleeve.
She likes the end result. Me too. Unfortunately I'm not able to add images to my posts (haven't posted enough posts to XDA - apparently)

How did you stick the back cover back on?
I'm curious to know what you used to stick the cover on with.
The reason I ask is that my first Nexus 6 came with the cover unstuck right out of the box. I returned it (partly because I was worried that the battery may have swelled) but I'd be interested to know how hard it would have been to stick the cover back down again.

Uuhm... i had thought the idea of seeing more than one back cover in some of the more recent photo's would have indicated it... but also in the first post he says he bought a white back cover a while ago to see what he could do with it. He didn't remove and replace the same back cover. Pretty sure that's NOT possible due to the adhesive... or at least risks the ability to put it back on firmly and smoothly.
