They said full metal body which is only partially true. The user doesn't touch the metal because the outside of the phone is mostly plastic. The metal components are internal

Tttt
I don't recall another manufacturer completely covering the metal in a coat of plastic. Paint is one thing. It usually still leaves a metal feel.
You can't claim to have a premium metal feel when it feels like plastic. Also claiming a full metal unibody when part of it is plastic is misleading. I don't see how there is even a dispute.

It's like you ignore certain aspects of people's posts answering the questions you ask.
They claimed a premium metal feel. You get a plastic feel. Mislead.
They claim an all metal unibody. Part of the unibody is plastic. Doesn't matter how thin. Mislead.
Those are facts. I'm not saying I dislike plastic. I loved the G3 and liked the G4, but you can't promise one thing and deliver another.

I've had the thunderbolt for 4 days now and have a very light scratch going down the center of the screen. This is very very disappointing the phone hasn't been groped or anything its mint except for that. This is the only phone I have ever gotten a scratch on the screen. Anyone else had this happen to them? Is the screen plastic and not glass? If so what a joke.
The scratch is so light I'm think it may have been there when I received it and just now noticed it. I really hope its glass because I hate screen protectors.
It's made of pixie dust, mermaid scales, and unicorn horns.....
It's glass.
Dear *** ****
I understand that you would like to know if we used Gorilla glass on the Thunderbolt.
***, HTC devices have screens made out of a proprietary formula of glass, not Gorilla Glass.
For further information and a list of devices that utilize Gorilla Glass, refer to the following link:

No matter what any screen is made of, it is still possible to scratch it. Products like gorilla glass just make it more difficult to scratch.

We certainly appreciate your interest in HTC devices. According to information, the HTC Thunderbolt does use a blend of Gorilla Glass in its construction.

Even with the Thunderbolt listed on the Gorilla Glass page there certainly are a lot of scratch/screen complaint threads.
Perhaps we got an inferior grade of Gorilla ... like Chimpanzee Glass.

Those are different from the ones I posted the part numbers for. AND the second thread you listed was created by me lol.
These are different, supposed to be a harder shell.
I had the black one... it didn't really impress me. There were fitment issues around the volume buttons (case was loose around that areas and bowed out on the side) and it collected lint like no other. If it were a tighter fit I would have loved the case and dismissed the lint issue.

Nope. these are silicone cases just like other Silicone Smerge Case thread going on. I have seen and handled these cases in RS and I actually prefer Amazon/Dotted Silicone Smerge case compared to this RS Silicone case.

I don't blame you. Some thoughts that came to mind were trying the old sugar cube trick (from old WinMo days). Believe the sugar cube is equivalent to a 1500 grit sandpaper?? Or get a pen tipped 1500 grit sanding tool???
However, since the white or dark shell of our Notes are plastic...sanding may not be the best option. Maybe trying something like Goo-Be-Gone on a VERY VERY SMALL part of the logo (maybe apply with cotton swab or tooth pick) to make sure it comes off and doesn't discolor the plastic?
EDIT: Sorry, I didn't read carefully that you wanted to hide the logo by a case or screen protector...
This aluminum case would do it too.

I don't have one, so can't comment on fit and finish but from the pictures it looks like it would hide the logo.

Just my two cents: I picked up two of these to under 10$ (hunt around, they're listed under dozens of different names) and I'm pleasantly surprised with the quality. They're certainly no Otterbox but at that price I expected much less.

Hello people!
I was pretty frustrated with the fact that markets are only flooded with iPhone covers and devices like our L9 barely have any accessories available. I had a Galaxy Mini earlier and faced a similar challenge.
So I resorted to making covers myself!
You can check out the photos over here.
I could make a jacket type or a pouch type, with or without a stylus pocket, with or without camera and speaker slots. I could colour it the way you want and write whatever you want or leave it blank for you to do your own thing. The first few pictures show a one with a plastic pocket on the back to slide in a paper. The photograph in that model can be removed and replaced.
The main ingredient to the covers is newspaper. (Reuse!!)
The covers are decently tough even though they are made from newspapers. They have a layering of cardboard to give them extra strength and fevicol too gives them a lot of strength. The top covering is with a mixture of fevicol and water applied on tissue paper which also strengthens the whole thing.
I paint using acrylic colours because of two reasons--1) They are waterproof. They wont let the phone get wet unless you drench the whole thing. 2) That is what I have at home and I am too lazy to go to the market.
If somebody is interested in buying one, you could Email me at [email protected]
I only have the following phones and can only make covers for these.
Samsung Galaxy Mini
BlackBerry Curve 8900
LG Optimus L9
iPhone 5
P.S. Yes, its DBatraOriginals.

Thing is there is actually a decent selection of cases for the L9 on eBay, you just have to do a little digging. Hell there are Nilkin cases for less than $10 and brand new from various eBay retailers (I ordered one myself last week). Or you can get the S-line cases for less than $4. All of them come with free shipping.
Just search "optimus l9 cases" and you get a lot of results. The main problem is that there aren't enough cases and acessories in local phone shops but it's much cheaper to get it online anyway. I'm never going to buy cases or screen protectors from regular stores again (i've wasted too much money unnecessarily), i'm sticking to online lol.

Not sure that is true, most of the polls on here had people going for the Frost least of the three I think...but the fact that 32GB was not available in Frost may also be factor in that.
I believe no one from get huawei has even gotten their frost shipped yet.
How do they feel in the hand? Any difference from each other? Reason why I'm asking is because of the extra coat with the frost potentially giving off a less premium metal feel.
For instance, Htc one m9 gunmetal as opposed to the silver model gives a different feel to the device due to the coating process on the gun metal. Silver feels much more premium.

I asked this in another forum, see below:
How is frost look & feel? in one of the review on youtube said it's said it feels plasticky..I am waiting for my 128gb frost..
Well that's kind of silly because all three colors are made of the same material. If you were blindfolded you wouldn't be able to tell the different colored phones apart from one another. It feels the same as the back of my M7 except a bit smoother.
As far as how it looks, I like it a lot. It's not WHITE white like a lot of white plastic phones are because it's metal, so it kind of looks kind of like they took the aluminum-colored one and bleached it so its very nearly white, but still retains the metallic look and feel.
Thanks, how do you feel about the black camera hump, also does the frost color makes the phone more slippery?
The hump physically protrudes way less than early pictures would have us believe, but with the smorgasbord of reviews and videos that are out now you can see how big the hump actually is. I like the black, it gives a nice contrast with the frost back.
I only have the frost, so I can't compare slippery-ness with the other 6P colors, but I can't see how the color would make a big difference here. That said, it's a metal phone, it is slippery. When I first got my M7 which was the first metal phone I owned, I was amazed at how slippery it was. If this is your first metal phone, you'll definitely notice it, if you've owned one(s) in the past, then you should know what to expect.
