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 did but it doesn't stay... :|
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.

If you have OCD, You're within your 30 days to make a fresh exchange.
And then buy a case on the follow-up.

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.

I generally don't like using cases on my phones but since I paid so much for my Xperia S I have been using one. I was curious how people who don't use cases on it have had their phone look like. How has the Xperia S survived the day to day normal wear and usage?
i dont have a case, cause i dont want to cover my beautiful XS..hehe..but i have a pouch for my XS.

I didn't use a case at first but a porch, and I hit a table with the lower left edge of my s (really soft, I didn't even drop it, I just put it down quickly) and it cracked and the paint peeled of. I drew over it with nail polish but I have been using a hard case ever since PLUS a porch.
And I still get a lot of scratches on the housing where the cut outs of my case are (mostly around the USB and headphone plugs, even though I treat my phone really carefully)
I wouldn't recommend using the phone without a case, it scratches way too easy.

Man this phone body is like a tin can
Me myself didn't like a case as well
I usually put my phone in the side pocket alongside with headset and it scratched. Hopefully i have it black so the scratch is not really visible.
And do not ever put your phone in the same pocket with your car keys. In my own experience it can dent your phone pretty bad

I got a white Sony Xperia S a couple of days after the release. Never used any cases, I really hate 'em unless they add functionality.
I dropped my Xperia S only once on tiles, but it wasn't a very high drop. You can only see the scuffs if you look for them. They're really tiny.
Also, the only other scratch I have on my Xperia S is just my fault. I tried putting it in a tin case-like thing I had on a tripod which I had made for a smaller phone, but what I didn't realise was that the edges were very sharp.
My conclusion: Unless you like dropping your phone on the floor or scratch it on purpose with very sharp items, the Xperia S probably won't have any scratches at all. Even in white. The screen too is fine and the Sony (Ericsson) logo on the back isn't scratched either.
I've had mine for 5 months. It once dropped from a very low height facing down, so the screen kinda had a "scatter" from the side (volume up height) and the line goes until the very top of the USB port. It is only seeable at certain angles. There are also tiny scratches, but they are on the screen protector, so.... It once dropped from a slightly higher height than the first, but nothing happened.
"What really matters in this world, anyway?"
I am not surprised that the white one has scratch problems. My buddy had a white HTC Hero with teflon coating and it looked pretty bad after a year or so.
My Xperia s has a thin case so the outside is mint. The screen has really minute scratches that all screens get that you can only see in certain light but no biggy. I never rock a screen protector. I would like to go case free but seeing peoples comments it makes me a bit nervous.

Mine is a white one. I don't have a single scratch (none that I can see, at least). And my screen "scratches" are like yours, but they are on the shatter proof that come already applied to the device.

Yeah my screen scatches are literally almost impossible to see. I removed my shatter proof sheet the day I got the phone though.

The Xperia S already has a screen protector on it from the factory. Going case free isn't a problem for me at all
I wouldn't remove this protector though. I read somewhere that it could make capacitive button sensitivity less.
I use some cheap pocket-like condom to keep my sola semi-safe.
Back in 2010 when I just bought a brand new HTC Desire I immediately wanted to protect it. I mean PROTECT IT.
I bought the Krusell Orbiflex thingie (was like uberexpensive) and was pretty happy with it until... after few months I realized that the screen was actually scratched by the case itself!
Then I sent over the HTC to the service point (because of broken camera or something). I repeated the procedure 5 times, so they swapped the unit into a new one.
I was happy and stuff and put the new, shiny device into the same case .
After few weeks my brand new HTC was scratched again in the very same spot beacuse of the case. AGAIN.
Maybe a little bit OT but kind of funny story it was .

No removing it makes it more sensitive. Trust me I have done it on 3 different Xperia S phones.
I use a nillkin case, but the top and bottom. Of the phone have so many scratches now. Hence, changed to a tpu Gel case instead.

wel, I don't really like the screen protector at all and even less a case.
I'm happy with a naked Xperia U, and whenever it get any hard scratches the phone will bet getting old already.
People don't stay with their phones for much longer anyway, so i don't think it's a good thing use cases...
My only scratch is off all places on the glass in the centre of he screen on my s3 after taking it into a repair shop without my case on. Was just glad to have my phone back so let the guy off with the scratch... normally use a otterbox defender case.

Resale value.
Welp I shattered my screen. I have insurance for it and my new one is already on the way. I am going to return it to the stock rom, but was wondering if there is a way to remove TWRP and get the stock secure kernel back. I know it will still say tampered/relocked but does anybody think there will be any issues when they get this one back?
There is an RUU you can run in the development forum.

It is actually very sturdily built. I got a door slammed on my hand (which was holding the phone) and I dropped it onto asphalt from a height of about 6 feet. It landed almost completely flat with the glass facing down. Just bad luck on my part. I ordered a case for it, but it hadn't arrived yet. The back of the phone is covered in a silicone that is very grippy. I will say the glass on the front is EXTREMELY slick. It curves to the edges so there is no plastic or metal of any sort on the front panel. Its solid glass. When I set it on top of my closed laptop while face down it will gradually slide off even though the incline is just a few degrees away from perpendicular. I don't consider this to be an issue with build quality whatsoever. The only reason I consider it strange is because there is a notification light on the back, but I dont trust it to sit facedown anywhere due to fears that it will slide off just about any surface that isnt 110% flat. It feels better under my thumbs than any other phone I have ever had and the screen seems to resist getting covered in fingerprint smears. Its very stylish and looks gorgeous, just something to be aware of.

So you're saying the battery gets you through the day, but it has bad battery life? And you posting this in a radom thread, away from peoples screen shots of 20 hours and 5 hours of screen on time. I would say that you are a troll that doesn't even own the phone, but I think most likely you're a robot from Samsung or Apple sent to spam the DNa forums. Now, if I could only figure out what you're advertising...other than ignorance and misinformation ...

Hey FilthyGoat I take my case off, remove battery and lightly air blow, wipe the edges there is always a little layer of dust there.
I do that ever couple weeks so it does not accumulate. I also use a LCD screen cleaner, no house hold cleaners on the screen.

I go try hard some times and completely give the phone a wipe down but the screen becomes smudged very quick ... Maybe cuz I'm filthy? Who knows
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app
mine too, smudges happen very quick, doesen't take much in terms of greasy fingers. I have a couple eyeglass cloths around my desk at work and I give it a spray with the eyeglass solution and just wipe it down. Also, I change the screen protector every few months, and go through a few tpu cases a year. Mine still looks as new as the day I bought it.
the kinda of case and screen protector i'm using don't really leave smudges... the most ill have to worry about is dust gathering around the corners of the screen where the protector is.. but i just blow it off dust and wipe it whenever it looks dirty
Is eye glass cleaner harmful to the glass display?

i go naked!
I originally had a ballistic case for my phone but hate how bulky it was, and the phone is a heavy beast as it is. I really don't like screen protectors either, they either smudge too much, or distort the clarity of the screen. So I'm going totally naked now which can be a delicate operation, so I take the following steps to keep my phone clean.
1. Don't drop it. Duh. Most of the time dropping a phone without a case isn't the end of the world though, and I could live with a ding in the corner should it happen, better than living in fear and having a frumpy-ass case wrapped around it the other 99.9% of the time that I don't have poor coordination...
2. Never set the phone down on a hard surface unless very gently, this prevents scratching. If I do set my phone down I put my wallet under it, but most of the time my phone is either in my hand or in my front pocket.
3. Dedicate one pocket to you phone (you can carry your wallet there too it it's soft), and NOT your back pocket. I'm a lightweight guy and I shattered the screen on my Atrix by sitting on it when getting into my car, turned out it wasn't as strong as my iPhone's 3GS screen was, so I don't do this anymore. Sounds stupid but I've knowingly sat on my phone thousands of times without it ever breaking... I just really like my phone in my back pocket. So now I keep my phone in my front right pocket with the screen facing my leg; keys and spare change go in left pocket.
4. Carry a microfiber pouch on you--I use this to clean the screen and to clean my sunglasses, and I store my sunglasses in it when stowing them away. Most cheap-o sunglasses stores around here will sell you one for 2 or 3 dollars, the nice ones feel like micro-suede...
5. Keep your hands & ears clean, I won't detail how to clean you ears and trim your nails but you get the idea :laugh:
Dead skin and pocket debris are the main things to get stuck in the speaker grills so if you're super anal you could keep your phone in a soft case with a drawstring before putting it in your pocket but that's kinda dorky, at the end of the day it's just a phone and you're probably gonna replace it with a better one in due time anyways so I say go naked and enjoy...
So pis*** off dropped the phone as it doesn't fit in the jacket pocket I'm wearing at the time. Onto god damn concrete. Was about 1m from ground. Landed face down as flip case flipped open.

I dropped mine out of my pocket twice now, once in a loading-bay the while climbing in to my truck, so both around 1-1.5 m. Still goes fine - the first time was before I got a flip case.
As long as the chip is only in the screen protector you should be ok

Hey, sorry to ressurect this old thread but i wondered if the OP has/had any issues from his z ultra after discovering the small chip to the screen...I Have just saw one advertised for sale with a description of all working perfect, exept having a tiny chip on the screen which is "barely noticeable" if didnt know it was there and that it in no way hinders performance.
By looking at the pics it looks to be on the ASF layer only and i am wondering if the op had any issues with the chip causing any further damage/issues and would a tiny chip likely become a full on crack on screen?
Again sorry to bump an old topic and any resoponse would be grand
I had no problems but sold the phone couple weeks later. Got a oneplus one now. So should be alright just stick a tempered screen protector on it.
Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah i did consider chucking a screen protector on top and from the pics the tiny chip is barely there. My main concern is that it is located near the bottom of the screen, slightly above the bezel and that area is where most of my texting/typing tapping would be done and would hope my clumsy thumbs would not help the chip develop into a cracked screen.
Cheers again
This is much too big to carry in a pocket. I have either a tote or messenger bag that I carry the mobile phone ? in , as well as my Bluetooth headphones . Plus , I wrap the phone in a microfiber cloth ,to keep clean, wipe off prints, and protect my Mobile Phone ? . Usually never leavesy bag until my destination , or when I arrive back home ? . I'm not totally obessessed . I break it out when I am completely bored.
