Hello!
So weird, since i started using the HTC magic cover i am getting black-ish darker spots on the back of my N9. Please check the pictures. I also have contacted the awesome Google support which have no idea whats going on either
Nonetheless they were really helpful though and are still investigating this. I will keep you guys updated!

EDIT: Seems like im not the only one.. There is a Reddit post aswell about this, just one though:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus9/comments/2rr14a/dark_marks_on_the_back_of_the_black_nexus_9/
Having the same issues here...
Any solutions?
Your case is rubbing against the tablet's back and rubbing out bald spots. The back cover is an ABS plastic frame spray-coated with a very thin layer of silicone rubber. Any friction applied to that rubber layer will result in bald spots, as it's a very non-durable material. Nothing you can do about it except stop using that case.
The n9 back is so sensible, mine is ruined by a rotating case that I bought to protect it ?

anyone plan on using Sugru instead of a case? idk how practical it would be with those 4 corner rubber pieces, if they would make it tough to put the Note in and out of my pockets...

you can order Sugru here: https://sugru.com/us/buy
anyone think that it's practical or no?
Wrong thread and I rather put a thick rubber band around it.
if an admin could move this to Accessories i'd appreciate it

Sugru corners are the best phone protection. You can't drop your phone on a regular surface and not have it hit one of the 1/8" raised corners first. The material is bouncy but stiff and takes up a ton of shock. You can peel it off and redo it. Best of all you aren't turning your 8mm thick phone into a 1" thick brick and get to keep the aesthetics that the company intended.

So presumably as long as you drop it on something flat, the thick corners will absorb the shock? Interesting. Still ugly, but..
I tried searching and couldn't find an answer for my question.
I just recently purchased a refurbed Asus Transforer TF101 + dock. I want to protect the screen of course, but also want to protect the back. I really love the look and texture of the back of the tablet. I want to get a clear protector for it, but I'm afraid because of the TF101's unique texture, the clear protectors(wet installs) won't properly adhere to it. Does anyone have experience + pictures with their install?
Thanks
This is a skinomi techskin. I bought it because it was the first product out there for the transformer, maybe the new stuff is thinner/better but this works fine. Its a soft film like invisibleshield/bodyguardz/phantomskinz and as you can see, the material actual conforms slightly to the texture, at least to the dimpled parts. What might not be apparent here is there are still some marks from the soapy liquid used for lubrication on installation. Its been on the tablet since May of last year and it still hasn't cleared completely up, so i would suggest getting a colored one if that kind of stuff bothers you.
Fits in the dock fine, just takes a little bit of extra push to get it totally in there to engage the lock due to it being slightly thicker.

Hello XDA, I'm asking you help about my I9300 that has been victim of several paint scratches... (sammy's plastic is awful)
Here are some photos, I hope you could give me some tips on how to "fix" or at least mask this. Thank you.

1. replace the bezel
2. repaint the bezel
3. sharpie?
4. scratch off the rest of the paint so it's not noticeable!
Uh, interesting... I don't think I will ever find a sharpie matching the bezel color, neither I know what paint should I eventually use and what is the exact color I need... I actually even considered the 4th option already, but I think it is too drastic... About the 1st: how am I supposed to do that? D: I'll google it... Thank you very much for your answer!
Been considering using a metal ink pen to try on mine. Then buff it smooth. Got to be better than seeing black chips in silver.
Should be able to get a silver metal pen in a craft shop. Give it a go.
Whats a sharpie?
Edit: a sharpie is a pen doh! Just ignore me eh
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Anyone use these cases? What you think? I just ordered the silver.

I don't have one but have looked at it many times on ebay.
Makes me wonder if the back panel is gonna pop off if you drop the device and then the phone goes flying and the glass cracks in to thousand pieces?? ...the back panel is being put in place by some kind of snap on feature. I would Like to see screw assembly instead.

I have one that says Yoo Don on the packaging but it looks the same. I put it on and took it right back off because it is impossible to open charging flap with fingernail, might be able to with a knife tip or something. The back does indeed snap into place and seems pretty secure but wouldn't expect it to add any protection if phone was dropped.
Thanks for the feedback guys. I will let you know what I think when mine comes in a couple of weeks.

I sent you a PM.
There are some cases/protectors that supposedly covers the silly looking cosmetic glass edge and these could be very useful because they fix one of the most annoying issues with the phone, the problem is that it is not always easy to see if a cover does this or not.
For this reason I have created this thread for people to share their findings. I have ordered "wishcover" because it says it have raised bezel and a lip that is raised above the screen itself and thus stopping the screen from rubbing against any flat table surface etc. The cover is a full cover with glass on both sides held together with magnets. I'll post my own pictures once it arrives and I can confirm the supposed details. There seem to be many variations of these magnetic covers. Mine will arrive from china hopefully next month sometime, lol
Personally I prefer the leather wallet style cases but they all seem to accommodate the curve instead of fixing it and as such are not a option for me as the edge is almost as annoying as the locked bootloader, the p30 pro is overall just a big mess IMO.
