Silver touch up paint for the bezel? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone have a recommendation for a touch up paint for the silver bezel? Mine's chipped today and I'm not happy!

Star silver for vauxhalls works well done my freinds last week sand it a little to get rid of roughness

White mini pro - black back cover

Missed the rubber back cover from my x10 mini pro.
Looks a little like a liquorice allsort but hey......
Just in case someone wondered how it looks.

That's not bad I've been tempted to do something with mine, like buy a new white back to sand and paint after I saw someone with a tiny black triforce on the corner of theirs.
That looks cool. If the black parts were non-slip............

When doing anything like this, take things apart! This is just a battery cover and they can be bought easy online. It's going to be hours a day before its usable anyway so do this to a spare.
If the solvents used don't agree with the plastic (I've spilt acetone when doing nails before) then you've ruined a spare cover
Good idea! That look so cool.
Make a pretty nice looking cover that....
I bought blue cover for my white Sk17i
it's look very pretty and I find the texture better than the white cover
May I ask where you can buy an official new black back cover? Mine is pretty beat up right now...
love the white backcover-adv no scratches and it looks new always
I found a new stock battery cover on ebay for about $17.
Mine in the first post is a genuine black one from ebay. Only £4.95.

Jup ordered it! Thanks. I recommend everybody to buy a new one if your old one cracks, your xmp will feel as solid as when you bought it. And the nice SE bubble looks better than ever

Just bought the barely There regular one. Love it. Have the Otterbox Commuter as well. Does it kill GPS and cell signal like others posted?
I haven't noticed any difference in signal loss.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA
I have the same case but in silver. I did notice my GPS position was off with the case on.
I have this case in gray. After one drop and general wear and tear it started to crack. Plus the brushed aluminum back began to peel off. If you're going for looks though it's a great case.

Is there an inner coating so it doesnt scratch the phone when you put it inside?

No there isn't. It's a glossy plastic finish on the inside.

HTC one x+ body damage

Ok guys I have my first case of body damage. The nice rubbery coating on the body has seemed to "chip off" in some spots, they are very small but that's how it starts lol one spot is on my speaker grill I now have a white spot there where I'm guessing a small piece of something sharp dug into the coating. Also on the side right above the volume rocker it also chipped and it was almost like something worked it way under coating and lifted it in a tiny spot so I had to scratch it off cuz I'm so anal lol just thought I'd let y'all know..I had a tpu case on it when both happened so I'm gonna say that something got into the case and did this damage.

O and that little streak just above the speaker grill IS also one that will not come off..lol
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda premium
So was your tpu case pretty loose, that you think something got inside? What have you tried to get rid of that streak?
Tpu case is pretty tight but not so tight that something couldn't get in especially with me being outdoors all the time and getting dirty and dusty lol but as far as the streak I realy haven't tried much other than a barly damp cloth and my finger lol not super worried about it just wanted to let everyone know I'll probly end up buying a new body when they come out with it on etradesupply.com they already have int. Version bit it doesn't have lte radio antenna sadly cuz I would love to have the red accents!!

About the body, was it you back in One X forums, who modded two different body pieces together?
Sure was

Black and white buttons lol its still rockin a white body with black buttons my girl is using it atm which reminds me I need to update her viper rom lol!
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda premium
I didn't go into details, but was the whole body switching process too complex? Time wise and all alignments and cutouts matched?
Na all it took for me was one guitar pic. But I think most people recomend two or three all u do is wedge it in between the plastic body and the rest of the phone if u look at the sode of phone where the edge dips down is good place to start

Rubbing soft touch off!!

I bought my DNA on launch day. Now on the edges I touch most the soft touch is rubbing through.
I'm a little annoyed, especially since I can't just replace the back cover.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
The same thing happened to the One X. The matte finish is sand blasted on and any scrapes or abrasions will cause the shiny plastic the housing is made from to show through.

Yeah figured as much. Unfortunately because the back can't be removed, I can't "fix" it.

Use of a screen protector?

Ok so I was wondering if anyone DOES NOT use a screen protector...I want to part with my screen protector except for beach trips and what not. Can the gorilla glass accomplish this. I know how easily quartz can scratch anything but the screen is so beautiful
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda app-developers app
I don't use a screen protector, There are a number of microscopic scratches on the surface of the screen. I can't photograph them with a camera because I don't have one, but yeah they are there. You can only see them when the screen is angled perfectly in the light. The scratches don't bother me because I honestly can't see them unless I look very hard. They are there. I treat my phone well. Have never dropped it or rubbed it against a surface that will scratch it. This wear and tear is just from the microscopic sand in my pocket.
Don't use one as well. I still haven't got any scratches on the screen so.. Only thing you have to make sure is that you really don't "accidentally" put your keys in the same pocket. Normally it should last very long without any damages
AW: Use of a screen protector?
Same thing here. I do use my device for 3 months now without a screen protector. I also do have some tiny scratches on my screen that can only be seen in the right light and angle so I honestly don't give a f**k

Zagg HD
I have a Zagg HD screen protector for mine, and you can only tell its ont here around the edges and with the screen off. When the screen is on it pretty much disappears except for the edge that shows under the earpiece. Very happy with it, as there have been gouges in the protector that could have been my screen. Interestingly enough thee gouges have disappeared over time and only last a day or two on the protector before it looks almost new again.
I never use screen protectors or cases. At that same time I'm always careful with my devices

+1 for this. Haven't used a screen protector but the gorilla glass is really holding it's own. My pocket is the only protection my phone gets. Even with my keys accidentally going into the same pocket I still haven't had any problems.
I use a Seidio Active case, but no screen protector. I tried one, but it didn't fit right due to the way the glass is beveled at the edges. I keep it in my pocket and it still looks great.
No screen protector here either, I picked up a snap-on case/holster combo on Flea-bay with a screen protector. Took that sucker off about 10 minutes after it went on. Haven't used one in general for a while even back when I had my iPhone 4, got tired of fighting loose corners and air bubbles.

I scratched 2 HOX+s pretty easily. I actually smashed the screen in an unrelated incident and will be using screen protectors from now on!
