As the title says, there is a slight gap in the body casing that runs for about 2 inches along the same edge where the charging port and hdmi port is located. It's between the edge of the screen and the plastic just big enough that I can slip paper about the thickness of 2 sheets of paper.
This is my second Atrix that I bought after market new in box because my carrier doesn't have them anymore. Other than this physical defect it works fine. My main concern is dust or lint getting under the screen. I'm wondering if that is an issue? Or is there another layer inside the phone that I can't see that comes between the screen and the chassis?

This may sound silly, but I have recently bought a TyTN to replace my SE P900 but one thing that I took for granted on the SE was that when i put it down on a surface or on a machine that i'm working on then it wouldn't slide off or be knocked off easily. THis is largely due to the 2 small rubber feet on the back. The P900 rests on the back on these two tiny rubber feet and also on part of the camera mounting. This is just enough to stop any careless sliding/knocking accidents etc.
I have noticed that when i put the TyTN down on a flat shiny surface, and it rings with the vibrator on, it does move considerably. I am concerned that it may one day vibrate itself onto the floor :shock:
Does anyone know of a solution that I could try with this - maybe even just to stick some kind of small rubber feet on, or a self adhesive non slip rubber? Is anything actually designed for this type of thing?
HI, I'm not sure abut rubber feet, but I recently ot the invisible shield kit for the TyTN it seems to stick ut farther than the two little tabs by the battery door opening, so it helps the sliding a little bit, but its a shame there wasnt a piece to cover the black circle around the camera lens, the kit had a piece that didnt really fit this model, and there is a line in the screen shield one review I read had the same line issue.
I dunno if i can really recommend this product, due to quality issues, but it does help the sliding.
The silicone skin which I bought from www.ids.hk seems to help a lot. It's basically a protective cover for the bottom half of the phone (when it's lying flat on a surface with the screen facing upwards), with a small overlap around the top and bottom edges.
i was going to get one of those silicon skin. problem is i dont think it'll fit in the docking station i have bought.
It slips in and out of the skin in no time at all.
Arrrrgh! I'm wondering if anyone has found a (leather) flip case for the AT&T Tilt 2 they are happy with?
My phone is a little over a month old, and I'm getting desperate. I've been temporarily using a clear thing (case mate) AT&T sold me with the phone (it was all they had that would fit) until I found something that would work for me. I've been reading here, and finally took the plunge to get the Designio case discussed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584093
Unfortunately, either I got a bad case or I'm being too picky or whatever, but I'm not pleased.
My criticisms are:
The PTT button completely covered by the leather support piece (not sure that's what to call it, but there's a leather piece that runs along the left edge, or bottom with the keyboard open). The PTT button is still functional as long as I press the leather piece just right.
The plastic over the keyboard does not fit snuggly -- it bulges up about an eighth of an inch along the bottom of the keyboard (the left side of the phone), which is annoying enough when using the keyboard, but that bulge also keeps that edge of the phone from closing flat when then keyboard isn't out. I carry my phone in a dedicated pocket in my purse, and I'm constantly finding dust & such that gets under the loose plastic keyboard protector at the bottom of the keyboard (left side of the phone when the keyboard is closed) since there's a gap along that edge from the loose plastic. That's highly annoying for me.
#2 might not be much of a problem if the magnetic closure was snug, but it's not -- IMO, it's off by a little over a quarter of an inch. This allows the top cover to slide around enough that the screen isn't protected when the case is closed (particularly the bottom of both sides up about 2.5" and up to 1/2" in from the bottom corners). If the magnetic catch was appropriately placed, it could also eliminate the gap on the left side of the phone when the keyboard is closed.
Clearly, this isn't the perfect case for me. I thought perhaps I was being too picky, but the Krusell case for my old 8525 doesn't suffer from these problems.
So, if anyone has found a flip case (preferably leather, but that's not a deal breaker) for the AT&T Tilt 2 that doesn't suffer from these problems, please share
TIA,
Saundra
i'm not entirely happy with mine, but mine seems not to have the problems that you are finding wiht yours.
i use the Capdase case, http://www.capdase.com/en/product4.php?cid=1&bid=5&mid=48, and it's a soft leather case that comes in two styles, either a "book"/side flip, or the top flip which i got.
main pro is that it uses small tabs on all 4 corners to clip on to the lower/keyboard half of the phone, allowing you full access to all buttons, the usb port, and the keyboard, without any plastic in the way. the tabs also seem to be more robust and likely to last longer than the seidio innocase tabs which i used on my kaiser. those tend to wear down and break off after about 2 years of use.
on the cons, i dislike the flap, which only has room to store 2 microsd cards and 1 extra sim card. i've already lost 1 sd card, though i am not 100% certain if it was my fault or the case (i was showing the phone to some friends the night i lost it). it also does not have any storage space for a credit card or similar, even though it would've been minimal cost to add one.
if only i could have the flap from your case, and the base of mine. then it'd be perfect.
Thanks for the input! It does sound as though we could have the perfect case with your base & my flap.
I'm in the US, and I couldn't find any retailers for that particular Capdase -- lots for iPhones. Of course.
It looks like I could maybe get it through eBay, which is good to know in case I just can't get the Designo to work for me.
Thanks again!

Noreve
I am using the Noreve case available at www.noreveusa.com I like it a lot. It too covers the push to talk button, but since I'm using a custom ROM it has no functionality anyway. The Piel Frama case I had for my Original Touch Pro, there was that darn plastic sheet covering the keyboard and frankly I think that sucks. Granted the noreve case is squirrely when the keyboard is open, but unless you are able to drive and text or ride a bike and text or a motorcycle and text, well you'd do better to spend your money on a funeral plan than a case. My only complaint about the Noreve case is the belt clip sucks. I am using an old Piel Frama belt clip since it fits my belt better. I also personally LIKE the looks of the larger Piel Frama TP2 case, but most have commented on how ugly it looks.
If you're crafty...
As we've come to realize, ATT has delivered the Tilt 2 in a state that requires serious hacks to make the simplest changes. In keeping with that line of thought, I've modified a clear plastic case and added a leather flap with a pocket for credit cards and memory stix. And - Unlike some commercial flaps, when this flap is closed, nothing can slide out of the pocket. Here's how you can too...
Note to Boy Scouts: I've included more detail below than many of you here may need. After buying the case, reviewing the pix and the dimensions, you may be able to fore-go most of the tedious instructions below.
PIX
I've posted a series of pix on photobucket (sadly, I'm too new and untrustworthy to provide direct links to them here). To review the photos:
1. Go to the PhotoBucket website.
2. Click the Drop-down arrow on the right side of the "Search" box and select "People" for the search type.
3. Search for my id, "fractalcracker". Zoom in to view the 5 photos in the default album.
Plastic Case
Two-Piece (front and back) Plastic Case from the ATT store: $29.99 (ridiculous, yes I know...). Find it online at the ATTWireless website by searching "Accessories" for part number "75525". The Back piece clips on to back of phone and allows you to access all buttons and slide open the keyboard. After adding this leather flap, you won't need the front piece of the case.
Leather Pocket Flap
The leather flap is similar to a wallet pocket. In fact you might be able to cut a wallet apart to make the flap. I'll give you directions to make this one by hand from a small piece of leather. If you don't have scrap leather, cut up your wife's (or your own) purse. Good luck with that one...
Leather Measurements:
You'll need a thin, pliable piece of leather 4 inches high by 5-1/2 inches wide. We'll cut 2 pieces as follows...
Outside flap piece:
3-1/4 inches wide from left to right.
4 inches high from top to bottom.
Pocket piece:
2-1/4 inches wide from left to right.
4 inches high from top to bottom.
Assembly
1. Cut leather pieces.
2. Lay the smaller (pocket piece) on the table so that what will be the 'hidden side' (inside of the pocket) is facing up. Align it so the narrow edge is closest to you.
3. Apply a thin bead of super-glue to the top, left and bottom edges of the pocket piece. The 4th, unglued side will be the opening of the pocket.
4. Lay the flap piece down on the table so the inside of the flap is facing up. Align it so the wide edge is closest to you.
5. Pick up the pocket piece and flip it over from left to right so the glue side is down. Align it above the right side of the flap piece and glue the 2 pieces together so the top, bottom and right edges are aligned.
6. To form the hinge, apply a thin bead of super-glue to the flap piece, running from top to bottom along its left edge (opposite the pocket).
For below - remember, we're only referencing the back side of the plastic case - not the front.
7. Lay the plastic case on the table, 'opening-side' up. Rotate it so the camera hole in the back cover is furthest from you. Slide the plastic case over so the right edge of the plastic case is aligned next to the left edge of the leather flap (pocket side up with pocket on the right side of the flap).
When we glue the flap to the case, we want the super-glued hinge joint to be about 1/16th inch below the face of the plastic case. That way, the leather flap will bend back enough to allow the phone screen to slide over it whyen you slide open the keyboard.
8. Stand the plastic case up by raising the left side and tilting it to stand on its right side. Align the right side of the case above the glue line on the left edge of the leather flap.
9. Press the right side of the plastic case down in place on the flap piece so the glue line on the leather flap is about 1/16th inch below the top face of the plastic case.
When it dries, press the phone into the plastic case and get on with your life!
May the force be with you...

so i had my phone face down on a clean school desk
i picked it up carefully and vertically (so the screen doesnt rub against the desk)
ans surprise! there are tiny scratches on the right and left side of the display
is this normal?
The other day, i had my phone face down on my backpack literally 4 inches above concrete. One slow fall later, i flip it over and there's one long horizontal crack across the glass. I think i'm going to get a shop to put a white screen on it now.
The outside bezel of the glass has a small ridge in it that elevates it VERY slightly when it is put face down without a case, so the edge of the front face is very prone to scratches. Mine seems to hold up pretty well. I have dropped it more times than any other phone I've ever had, and the only visible damage I have is a small chip about 1/2 a millimeter on the top left corner. It's small enough that my case covers it up.
Sent from my CarbonROM 4.3'd HTC DNA
the scratches are not visible by any means. but the fact that just by putting it face down scratches the screen is kind of disheartening.
anyways. if it gets any worse, i might just get a replacement screen.
Get the xtreme guard screen protector. Super cheap and lasts a long time
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Mine fell out of my jacket pocket about 2' onto tile at a store when I was reaching down to pick something up it slipped out and landed flat on the screen, no damage except for a few minor scratches that are only visable when the light hits it just right. Forgot to mention that I did not have a case or any kind of screen protector on it.
Hello!
My Samsung Galaxy S2 screen broke and today I received the new screen and it didn't include a tape for attaching the screen perfectly.
The adhesive tape the screen has does not cover the corners and I believe I might run into problems if the screen is not properly attach to corners
Can someone help me find on ebay the best tape which will let me put the S2 screen perfectly to it's place?
I am currently writing from a sgs2 whose screen I replaced personally. After a month or so of thinking, I decided not to use any adhesive other than the one which is already on the screen. Although the screen can go up and down initially (we're talking about half a mm, and only on the right side) , after a night under some books or with some pressure on it it settles, until unless you push firmly on the sides of the screen, you won't be able to tell the difference from a brand new one.
My advice is: get some double sided strong vhb adhesive on amazon or eBay and put it on the upper left side of the screen, between the secondary camera and the screen, and on the upper right side if there is none left ( if there's some leave it, it'll do its job just fine, and it is nearly impossible to remove) Remove any other adhesive, peel off the protective films and apply the screen (careful about the home key and the speaker grill).
Remember to clean the whole surface with alcohol from dust, and the hole where the camera will go, I didn't and dust remained. You can't see it on the pics, but it pisses me off badly!

I've got a Galaxy S III (i9300) with a very shattered front glass. The display and digitizer works just fine though. Menu, back and home buttons too. Everything is working, i just need to replace the front glass. I've once replaced the whole front package (LCD, Glass, Digitizer) on a Galaxy S2 very successfully so i have some form of experience.
Will be my first time replacing only the front glass. Unfortunately i wont be able to put any LOCA there as i dont have any UV light. I do however some regular adhesive 2mm tape that i will put around the screen to prevent dust and stuff from coming in. Also i dont have a IR thermometer and i will be using a hair dryer. I know how hot it has to be by feeling it. I should almost not be able to hold my hands on the glass. It might take a very long time but if its possible to do it, im willing to try.
What i'm worried about is the glass shards that are in the middle of the screen. Most shards end at the edge of the screen so i can apply pressure there when im removing the shards. But the shards in the middle have all edges on the digitizer. I cannot apply any form of pressure towards the digitizer so im worried of how ill remove them. Also the left lower corner around the menu button is full with tiny shards. like 0.5mm-3mm shards. Im wondering what is the best way of removing them? BTW i still got the touch screen protection plastic on. It got bubbles now cuz of the cracks.
Here is a picture of how cracked it is. Its not exact but close enough. Paint is OP.
The black spot in bottom is where the glass is simply gone. It fell of after time. I put some tape over it to cover it up so nothing can fall in.
Any advice on how to remove these shards?
Very appreciated
