I saw some threads about this in other phones (like bionic)
Now I know we can't get the verizon off the face of our phone since it is under the glass
but it IS possible to take it off the battery cover by rubbing gently with a penny or a fingernail.
I just scratched it off using my thumbnail and it looks nice without the Verizon in white under the red Droid x2.
Wasn't sure if anyone had done this before. Not a big deal but it does look smooth and nice
Edit:: if anyone knows of a way to get the Verizon off the face of the screen please let me know

I heard if you put a tiny layer of something over the logo and then take a sugar cube and rub off where the logo is it will come off. Haven't tried it myself though.
EDIT: I think it was scotch tape, some sort of tape.

Yeah the Verizon logo on battery cover came right off for me. And it was as simple as scraping it away with my thumbnail.
It came off just like I was scratch a lotto ticket ...very easy for battery cover logo.
Now in the face of the phone is a different story lol
It IS under the glass
That's what I thought.thanks for confirmation.
I wonder if I can get to it by taking the phone apart
. There was a video on youtube that shows how to take it apart and put back together. Not sure if that area will be accessible to alter tho.
maybe ill grab me a broken x2 from ebay and try it out sometime

Use tape to cover the lower screen area,mark out the lower nonscreen area including logo with a sharpie, so you have a black area on the surface to match the lower screen where the logo is/was. And put on a screen protector.
Ahhh. I get it now lol .like painters tape for a straight edge lol
..why did u think I work for AT&T? Cuz I don't want Verizon showing? Haha
Im thinking clearer now can ya tell? Lol

Well, I was at the mall yesterday and my friends ambushed me with several bottles of perfume, many sprays of which hit my G1, specifically the screen which was covered with a protector. I wiped it off immediately of course. When I got home, there was a small hole near the center in the protector, and it looks like the whole screen protector is flaking apart. Ive already ordered a new one, but why would this happen?
The only thing i can think of is the alcohol in her perfume found a weak spot in the protector?
Then it spread like cancer, i mean look at what alcohol does to a liver
got any pictures of it?
since ur a girl you should order the mirror screen protector

The base of most spray-type scents/perfumes is an organic solvent. Typically alcohol (of the 'rubbing' variety) but possibly something synthetic. I probably don't have to explain what happens when organic solvent comes into contact with weak plastic.

Strong solvents will dissolve plastic. The plastic becomes plasticized. A more rigorous explanation can be found in an organic chemistry textbook.

im planning to get a new tmobile vibrant but i wonder is there anyway to remove the tmobile logo on the front of the phone? is it underneath the glass or on top has anyone tried this before?
You can't, don't mess up like I did, Just let it be.
The only method I can think of involves a bottle of whiskey and a machete.
Sent from my Vibrant
Why would you want to do that anyway? It aint looking cheap or anything on the contrary actually and anyway, the last thing you wanna do is messing your phone up with THIS.
Sharpie? Lol
Are you embarassed to have a tmpbile phone? You could use electrical tape
If you want not to look at it and not ruin your phone buy a roll of pin-striping tape from a auto paint supply, it is cheap and you can most colors. It come in 1/16" - 1/2" common. ou can use that tape to block out the logo, and it will noy come off easily.
You could always buy a new screen protector and black out the top portion (by applying it to the backside of the screen protector) with something like black nailpolish or hobby paint or something.
This would give it a finished look and be removable in case you miss it.

your so retarded.
If you also plan on protecting your phone with a case, otterbox covers that logo.
Why?
I thought it looks pretty good. I can only think of using toner but I'm not responsible if your phone is disfigured.
use a sand paper.

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 saw on a video that somebody could easily tear that kevlar piece out from right under the camera... It looks loose and flimsy, and not well stuck on the back of the phone.
Can anyone confirm this by sticking your nail under the weave right under the camera ? Last thing I want is to buy a phone for 600 bucks and have the back tear up on me after a month.

It's not the kevlar back but the plastic covering on the top (camera/flash/speaker) which can be taken off, possibly revealing some screws. Other than that there seems to be no way to open the device.

This request/observation is just hilarious.
Why not take ANY phone and try to jam an ice pick between the edge of the glass and the phone. Hit it with a hammer.... does anything happen?
Or drop any phone from a really tall building, cause I'd hate to spend $600 on a phone and not have it survive something like.
Maybe put any phone in a blender, cause I'd hate to spend $600 on a phone and not have it blend properly.

Nope, it isn't.
If I get a device and the plastic that covers the screws gets detached easily it's a build flaw. If the Kevlar thing gets detached it's a design flaw. If you drop your phone from a tall building or hit it with an hammer it's a flaw of your brain.
It's different.
I wouldn't pick at my RAZR like that anyways.

I agree. The guy in the vid didn't use force. Come to think of it the OP didn't really meant to use force and try to open the back cover.
The cover we know is kevlar and durable. The material witch glues it on the phone how durable is it?
Tbh im in love with the back cover of the phone. I'd never put a cover/case on it. I wouldn't want to put one out of need( safe sex suxx )
Obviously, DrUnKenSTeiN is probably the only intelligent human on this post.
Where did anyone here read that I want you to remove the cover or bash it with a hammer ?
All I asked was to see if that thing is flimsy and all I got was raw violence by some members who probably have Attention deficit disorder (syntrix, ianford)
When I asked once if a certain laptop was flimsy, one intelligent human pressed on the lid lightly, checked for keyboard flex, and gave me his opinion.
You may say it's not important for daily use, but so does Android OS or a large screen. A smartphone can be productive without them, but this is not what discussion boards are about.
You may be excused to feel embarrassed, thanks.

Would just like to confirm that the phone in the video DOES have a defect. With all the force in the world I couldn't even get my fingernail under the Kevlar, let alone pry it up. He did it with no effort, like it was hanging off. Mine is sealed so tight (top, bottom and along the sides) you couldn't do anything to it if you tried.

If your phone is sealed then its not something that all razrs got. Seems like a flaw in the specific device.
Its important for guys that have bought the phone and its defective that they wont think that ,this is how the phone is.

I messed around with 4 RAZR's today at three different stores. I even took out a penny that was scarred and I was not able to even scuff the Kevlar. It's on there on all the edges and sides REALLY REALLY good. And, that Kevlar is REALLY durable.
The one in the VIDEO MUST BE DEFECT.
So, I see only one other thread about this, but I dropped my phone (Clumsy me left it on a chair, it slid off, and spider webbed my phone(SUCH a short distance)) But, I've bought the replacement part myself, and I plan on doing the repair myself. Is there anything I should know before I actually do this? Has total disassemble of the phone been done before?
Not to hijack your thread, but it drives me nuts how my LGOG seems to seek out-on its own-a way to dive off my coffee table/sofa/end table...no matter how flat and non inclined I sit it two seconds later and...CRASH! floor time...luckily mine has been taking it ok.

I replaced the digitizer on an HTC Vivid and used 3m double sided tape and doubled that up so the screen wasn't directly on top of the lcd. The video for that one recommended doing that to keep some weird effects on the screen.

Maybe try some silicone glue
Maybe try some of the silicone seal (blue silicone glue) to attach it. If nothing else you might try some electronic stores (specialty or other Cell phone repair stores) for the glue that is needed. I would opt for something that isn't so hard on stuck and maybe go for something that holds tight and seals well but doesn't make it damn near impossible.
