Anybody else experience this?
I'm 99% sure I didn't do this, as I haven't dropped my phone (yet).
CPW are being awesome and are going to replace it for me, phew!

No never put it in my back pocket, always side pocket with nothing else.
Home button is fine, a little bit of grime picket up by the camera.
I also have a crack, and i never dropped my phone
I have the exact issue at the exact same spot. Found the crack a few hours after opening the package. Sent my phone back to Expansys. I will get the replacement today and hopefully the new one doesn't have this crack.
In a Portuguese forum I've seen 2 or 3 guys with cracked bezel. They bought from expansys.
Disappointed!
Ouch!!!!!
Please nooo!! Not another manufacturer flaw!! I escaped from a Sony Xperia S (famous yellow tint on bottom of screen).
I could live with a modifiable software glitch but not that!!
Glad i don't have one of those!
hopefully any type of design flaws will be ironed out by the time they launch here in the states. that is not good, though.

I have the same thing as well i guess.
I''ve got two very fine cracks in the bezel, I'm not bothered by them enough to send it back to cpw, but not impressed.

There are four of them. Two on bottom and two on top corners. These are not cracks but that's how it has been manufactured.

Exactly. My note has them too, those are normal.
But the cracks that we see above they are not normal.
I hope that mine arrives with 0 problem. I hate to replace my phones. Specially the expensive ones. Don't like to see a expensive thing with faults.
It certainly would appear to be an issue. I just hope they came with the crack, and not that they develop over time.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
I'm not talking about those. There are two cracks by the volume rocker, one almost not visible between the rocker and the screen, the other is about a 1cm down and much more visible. There is no looseness there so not too bothered.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Dear,
I also have the same CRACK at same LOCATION near the volume rocker!
Something about the curved screen perhaps?
I had the exact same problem on my s2 before I bought this, I had 6 cracks on three sides of the phone, never dropped or looked after poorly. Kept in a case in my front pocket with nothing else. Samsung didn't want to know about it either. Said I must have dropped it.
Hope this doesn't happen to this too. Will be the last Samsung I buy if it does.

So for the second time i dropped phone on the concrete portion of the road while getting out of the cab. I think it's time for me to invest in a bumper to prevent this from happening again
Before we move forward, is there any way i can get the casing replaced?
I was initially waiting for the 32GB version to pop up and sell mine for cheap but the last drop put a nice dent on the bottom right corner
Good news: Galaxy Tab 10.1 takes decent quick photos

That was my intention from the beginning to replace it with a 32GB version but 32GB version never came out. I may grind it out a little longer for the nexus prime assuming it does come with an AMOLED HD screen.
ah yeah.. my Dell Streak from back in the day (RIP, officially discontinued) came with a 16GB card.. so I use that.. I used to use my SGS II for media but I find the headset volume to be too low so I went back to using my Zune HD

that is an exspensive fix mate , the only way i could find to replace the silver bezel is to buy the screen with the bezel attached wich is about £80
you then have to fit the new screen etc
it was cheaper to sell my scratched sgs2 and buy a new one
i sold mine for £385 and got a new one for £445
Kicked out your girlfriend over an accidentally dropped phone? Youch.
Just get a nice cheap case to hide the damage until you sell and buy a new phone.
You'll feel better
Might wanna consider investing on case-mate tough case series.
Also dented the "silver" in a few places, and much to my own amazement I'm not too bothered! But will be buying a the thinnest blackest bumper I can find for future drops.
Please also post the drop related issues here,

Now that's what I'm talking about!
I have the official samsung on mine, the mesh type but it doesn't protect the top or bottom.
IV had several very lucky breaks so far because The phone is so thin and light IV been able to catch it between two fingers when almost dropping it on several occasions.
I only just noticed the metallic black bezel after reading this thread so it worries me a little more now that its not protected all the way around.

Hi guys. My Atrix was walking fine until today in class, I suddenly feel something going off the power button, when I check, a sort of black tape from the fingerprint scanner is peeling off. I'm not really sure what to do about this. I can't claim warranty since its a Korean Atrix, bought in Vietnam and using in Australia
What should I do with this ? peel it off and get a DIY fix or any other option ?

as in 2 sided tape ? if its normal clear tape then how can the scanner works then lol
Whatever you do do not peel it off you will ruin your scanner. This is what I did to fix mine. I took some of my girlfriend's fake nail glue and put a tiny drop of it in the tip of a pair of pointed scissors and put a tiny dab under the corner of the tape. Hold the tape down for about a minute till the glue dries. Don't use too much or it will lock up the button. Works like a charm.
Out of curiosity how long did it take for this situation to develop for you?
Mine was like It when I got it. Not from att tho. From a trade. I think the phone was only about a month old
My is around 2 month old. Thanks for the tip, will try it out
Aight let me know if it works for ya. Like I said just use a tiny tiny bit
Hmph, mine is fine and it's 7 months old, but it's a bit slanted

Never using the scanning feature again.

Just curious, to those of you having this problem...do you store your phone in your pocket?
I have my Atrix in the otterbox defender with a belt clip, haven't seen this. I'm wondering if it is getting caught on something in your pockets?
Had this phone since the release date and do not have this problem.
I hate you people just looked at mine and noticed there's the tiniest bit coming off from one corner
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I wonder if there is a replacement part available to be ordered online.
Got mine release day in US. Scanner was initially perfectly level but over time it became slanted. No issue with the tape peeling off though.
Slow down guys, the "slant" is quite common - and there's an old thread about that around here too.
The sticker peeling part of it, is uncommon... (and hopefully it stays that way)

I remember that when the Atrix was first released, people were pooping kittens over the slanted button (here and in the Moto forums) until they realized pretty much everybody had the same issue.
If you look in this picture you can see where the cable is connected which in turn "holds" that end of the button down giving the appearance that it's "crooked" (source: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Motorola-Atrix-4G-Teardown/4964/2 )

I also can't see any tape on mine, and I've kept it in my pocket without a cover for 5.5months now with no problem, I've also used the fingerprint scanner frequently during that time.

I have 3 galaxy s3 here today, white. When i look at it in bright light on the back cover its a pattern in the plastic, it looks like a oily map, holograms or something like rainbow colors reflecting in patterns.
Can anyone else check the back cover under a lamp ?

I think its just the hyper glazing stuff. Ive seen similar looks in other products too.
My only issue with the phone is the brightness level. Other than that i`m well happy.

Do you play a lot of games or hold the device in landscape often?
I'm just spit-balling here, but.. could be oil from your palm penetrating the stock screen protector? or between stock and your screen protector?
Maybe it was there from the start but I never noticed it. Haven't played any games on it or had my finger there.
I really wonder what it is and why you can only see it when breathing on it, when I wipe it clean its really hard to see.
How easy is it to remove the ASF?

I would think it is the coating on the screen protector as well.
As for removing the stock protector, it can be done but by all accounts you will feel like committing suicide halfway through. there is a guide somewhere on here
Well, the thread can be closed because I destroyed the phone :good:
Time to get a new one and put on a screenprotector asap.
what, why, how?
removing the anti shatter layer? if so what's wrong?

look what I found:

so sapphire isnt that good at all, yes?
one possible reason probably is that i am always fingering the volume up button. im using the international version btw where the lens an dthe button is flat and too close to each other. this is a flaw to the design. but it's sapphire it shouldnt crack like that.

the point is, for a high end phone with camera lens that cracks on a normal day to day use is not good LG should look into this. If it is heat related, then definitely they should all recall the unit and replace the international version with the Verizon's version. My nokia is still alive after 10+ landings on hard floor.
Well of course it can brake. Everything brakes. The main point of sapphire on lens glass as I believe is that it is very scratch resistant.

Impact break. Left side.
And this crack is from a normal day to day use?...
Not in my opinion. That is definitely not a flaw or internal pressure break. Something hit it, pressed very hard on that one area, or focused pressure on that area.
Its always in my pocket. Probably twisted because sometime when i talk the nillkin case off it sounded like its gonna snap. Lg support in ph wont cover it though. I guess im gonna pay to have the glass replaced. But i can live with this becausd image wuality is not aggected. It just looks ugly.
They are right for not covering it. It is visually end user fault. Can't be to expensive to get it replaced.
