The kickstand on the photon seems to be very sensitive and vulnerable to scratches just by laying it down. Any solutions post-problem and how to avoid it? And also do any of you know how to remove light scratches from the bezel and the gorilla glass screen?
If you feel comfortable doing so, you can buy some sand paper and do what is called wet sanding, they do it in the auto repair for bad scratches. You would need 2000 grit, 2500 grit and 3000 grit and sand on the screen with light water, starting with the 2000 and working your way up, after the 3000 just wipe the water off with a soft dry terry cloth.
but make sure you turn the phone off before doing it, and tape right around the speaker and microphone so you do not damage the phone.
If you have any questions you can PM me
Scratches on kickstand?.... ;

You could do the same for the kickstand, but it wouldn't turn out good

I may be getting the N3 Dev Edition and I have a Mime USA tempered glass screen protector on my current Note 3 and I was just wondering if I could remove it and put in on my new note without any loss of quality or bubbles. Has anyone done this?

Sounds plausible. Just gotta make sure you're in a dust free area. Some people suggest going into the bathroom and running the shower. Their theory is that the steam will stick to the dust and cause the dust to be too heavy to float in the air. I found a razor blade to be the best tool to remove a screen protector.
I think its risky if you exposed your phone in a steam. Im using a needle in removing or sticking a film. Its useful that it can easily remove a tiny speck of dust that your film caught while applying.

Steam won't damage it, humidity levels here for example in Qatar reach the high 80's or more, you literally have drops of water forming on the phone, it's manufactured to operate at that range.
Direct water jets exposure or submersion is the problem.
I have a few little scratches on the chrome lip of my S4...and a few little scratches where the charger connects. I am very anal about my phone and was just seeing if any of you guys have any suggestions on how to get those scratches out or minimize them??
Its plastic..not chrome...I would be more worried about screen damage and dents than small scratches. Buy a cover for your phone if your so anal.

I was cleaning my phone (weekly cleaning routine) and I swept my camera lens with a microfiber cloth. Guess what? I scratched it! AFAIK it doesn't impact the pictures taken, but It's annoying as ****.

Adn the sapphire glass?

also no issues here

Have a couple micro scratches here. All chance icro what type of dust particles was there. Sapphire lens sure, non bonded ar coating on top... defeats the former purpose a bit imo...
Has every one here remembered to take off the plastic film around the camera, over the volume buttons, and the lense?
I don't have a single visable scratch on mine. It's the Verizon model, been kept in my pants pocket, and I've cleaned the lense with my shirt and still no scratches.

Same here. I use my clothes and a microfiber cloth to clean mine and no scratches at all. If you have the plastic still, that will easily get scratched.
Same here verizon model always in pants it is in a tpu case but other then that never had issue yet

I'm sorry I was widely misunderstood here. There was absolutely no issue till I intentionally wiped my camera. It's so hard to see, actually so hard that if the light isn't right, you can't see it. But when it's in the rifhr light angle, it appears as a green or violet line. It's extremely thin and it doesn't bother my OCD. And yes, the protective cover is removed. but it's annoying as duck that you mess **** up when cleaning the phone. If I was tossing it around and sitting on it, I would understand

Thanks for the alert.
I think we should just use the same precaution as cleaning DSLR camera lens.
Make sure we dust off any dirt or foreign particle before wiping.
Any silicon particle on the surface will be abrasive, even for sapphire.
Any tips for how to properly clean the rear of this tablet? I love the finish but it's terrible for smudging and prints. I want to clean it good and then get it into a new case. I have at my disposal:
Windex
99% Isopropyl Alcohol
50/50 Isopropyl Alchol mix
LCD wipes (which have the same chemical I believe)
"Screen DrX"
"Glass Cleaner" spray
I'm a bit reluctant to just try all of these as I fear anything wet will leave permanent wet looking smudges in this material.
Thanks
Simply don't clean it - when you plan to put it in a case you won't see the smudges anyway.
It's waterproof. Use washing up liquid, scrub and rinse off with water.
I wash it at the same time and in the same way I wash my hands after a dump.
Tap water + hand soap lather
Just use water and a towel... Also babywipes work nicely. It's water proof so don't be affraid.

And this is why I have a white one..
White WOULD be nice if the front border around the screen was also white. Now it just looks cheap

Thanks I'll try the soapy water/towel. I know it's waterproof but that material seems like it would just absorb any kind of oily cleaners.
Hi guys ,
I installed a Nillkin screen protector on my phone yesterday but I noticed that there a tiny scratch or a scuff mark on one side , its either on glass or on film , Was wondering can Nillkin screen protectors be re-installed ?
Can I just take it off , wash it with warm soapy water and re apply it , will it work ?
I've failed to do so, otoh if you've got time and patience to soak in soapy water to dissolve the adhesive and try it might work. I'd be interested in your experience

So i m the guinea pig . LOL!! . I'll wait 3-4 days to get more replies , if nothing I will give a shot and let u know.
Word of caution, have a cheapo plastic protector on hand for if the experiment does not go well.

I washed my LG G2 tempered glass screen protector, iloome flex twice and it works great. but use bottled water, tap water might cause water spots when dried.
don't know if it works with nillkins. it's very difficult not to catch dust particle while drying. or use thick framed case to cover the scuffs if it's on the edge
I've removed, reinstalled mime glass before. Wash it with soap and water, rinse it and stick it wet. Push out any bubbles let it sit for 20 minutes or so to dry

I washed my glass protector in soapy, warm water, blew off the water bubbles with canned air, then reapplied. Stuck great, no issues.
Cheers everyone , Will try this out on weekend.
