Hey there, i currently own the redmi note 4 Snapdragon variant (indian model) and because of availability reasons i got the golden color model.
But being a die hard black color lover, i have actually decided to paint the back panel of my device black.
Pretty simple, all i will do is pop the back cover out and give it a coat of black spray paint, thus giving the device an overall white and black color scheme.
I want to have a discussion on it as will it be good? And is there anyone who has tried it? Also what can i do to color (or paint) the fingerprint sensor black.
first of all, I never paint my phone.
It will be good if you know what you doing ( good at painting ).
or just simply buy a black back panel.
for the fingerprint, you can also buy the black fingerprint flex cable, and switch it up.
I am really sorry if my suggestion always buy that buy this lol

I am pretty good at painting and applying 2 neat coats of a spray paint isn't really a tough job to do, but i guess i have to stick with the fingerprint sensor cuz i don't want to replace it.

In Germany, no Galaxy player will be produced with black backside.
Where can I order a black backside?
I didn't know it was even a choice to get a 4.0 in anything but white, you can do what I did, take the back cover off and spray paint it black (or any color for that matter), I did mine with this stuff called "Plasti-dip" you spray it on like paint and after it dries if you get bored with it or don't like it you can peal it off clean like a vinyl sticker, search it on youtube, people use it for all kinds of stuff.
I've seen a video about Plasti-Dip on smartphones.
It looked very nice.
it's the thinnest "case" LOL you can do, and I just love how easy it is to take off, I pealed it off the other night just because I could.
i think its easier to buy a black silicone cover on ebay, and it will protect you device, and will be black )
I find that silicone covers do not look very nice.
I think I'm gonna try this on my player

I tried plasti-dip, and while it looks amazing, I find it is very delicate. It is already pealing in a place where I accidentally chipped it (on the same day I put it on). Maybe I didn't put on enough layers? I put two layers on, how about you?

I wonder if RIT dye would work. I know it works on FRN and G10, so I bet it does. The benefit to that is it's not just a surface coating.

Hello everyone! I'm looking to get a One, and I really love the Stealth Black finish. Busy does anyone know if the black finish chips or scratches off to reveal silver underneath? Thanks!

The stealth black is very very nice but I chose silver because I was afraid of the paint chipping off. When I purchased my One, I noticed the stealth black demo model had chips and scratches.

Not mine and I've used various slim tight fitting cases and not a scratch.

Isn't it anodized? I knew the silver one would show far more wear and decided to exchange for a black one. I've dropped it a couple times already, and still looks perfect.

I think so, I thought the silver would show just as bad as black if scratches would occur. Just like the iPhone 5, doesn't matter what color scratches are horrible on both colors.

Not really a test or good comparison but as you can tell, the guy even says that the black one is more prone to reveal scuffs and scratches. Not trying to turn this into a Silver vs Black debate. If you're the type that takes good care of your phones...the stealth black is perfect. If you dislike finger oily prints..get the silver. All in all, the HTC One is a true winner.

Agree I have both colors. Using various types of cases, but both colors are holding up. The best experience will be your own. Just because someone is advising or that's what they found, doesn't mean it's 100 percent true.

Got the black one here after owning a couple of silver ones, the black one is incredible. Seriously I said it in another thread, it has that David Hasselhof Knight Rider swag.
Mine is holding up pretty well, it's been only a week though. I bought an extreme guard screen/back protector from eBay (protects the front and back and is super durable).

Anyone know somewhere you can purchase JUST the pink chassis/s pen to swap onto a white note?
buy a pink digitizer/glass for $13 on ebay and a find a pink battery cover
If you don't wanna open your phone to swap the glass, then you can buy a pink screen protector and pink battery door. That would definitely be the easiest and cheapest way to go from white to pink.

Your also getting a poopier screen though, lcd not amoled.
I agree with stanglifemike, get a pink screen protector (two birds one stone), pen, and back cover.

What? This is an OEM replacement... and therefore the same screen. Have you ever purchased a new screen on eBay? All sellers list it as "LCD" even when its Amoled...

I have, hence why I'm very cautious when looking at the product descriptions. If it's not labeled correctly and doesn't state that it's oem I would be wary that it may just be a copycat. There are plenty of note 3 copies out there. If you've been successful getting an oem product than I'm glad for you, but I wouldn't recommend a item unless I knew for certain it was oem/meets requirements.

I agree on this, there are many seller who source the screen direct from china, looking at it is a 1:1 direct copy, but once connected, you see the quality of the actual screen, with that being said, there are some oem ones available, best to get a pink screen protector, cheap and better option, at least it doesn't void the warranty.

Actually I like the look of this better than anything else I've seen. (Really talking about the other options, not the pink one in particular) I wonder how well the sides adhere though. I'd imagine with the ridges they won't last long.
I've seen a video on changing a screen and digitizer on a s4. It's a nightmare job.

I would also imagine that the sides won't stay on very long. I had a Ghost Armor full body for my Note 2, which came with the sides as well. The Note 2 has smooth sides, so I'd imagine they would stay put on it much better. I wasn't crazy about how the sides looked though, so I never used them. I did install them a couple days after I put on my screen protector an battery door skin, just to see how it would look. I was right when I originally thought I wouldn't like them. I left them in for a couple hours an then took them off. I think having chrome/silver edges on a phone looks good. So even if the sides didn't stick or stay put on the Note 3, I think it would be for the best anyway! Lol

hey guys, sorry if i put this in the wrong spot. move it for me if i did?
anyways, i shattered the glass on my note 8 n5110. lcd is ok.
i know they sell kits, but i could only find them in white, And mine is black/brown.
1.) could you guys find me one?
2.) could you tell me how to do it?
ill answer any questions you have, sorry if i wasnt clear about something.
Just choose the white color screen and buy a white back cover together
Hello, I searched Samsung Galaxy NOTE 8 N5100 N5110 LCD Digitizer Screen on ebay. Yes, you are right, there are only white colors available. And the sellers are very less. You can buy this white color LCD with touch glass together and buy a white back cover too, then take it to your local repair shop for help. They can help you to replace the broken screen and the back cover together. At last, your Note 8 will be a total white color !:cyclops: Hope this is helpful...
Have you checked this with your local phone repair shop?
Some of them may either have stock for the black version or may be able to place an order for it.
This might sound ghetto, but I would say just get a white one, cover the screen in masking tape and use spray paint on that sucker. Ha. You can get spray paint specifically for plastic and it doesn't rub off. That's what I did with my phone's back cover. It has held up for over a year with no rubbing away.

Hello guys,
Let me tell you my story:
I've been working for quite some time to buy the Note 3.. And now when I've finally earned enough money to buy it, they only had white one available. I've wanted that phone for such a long time, that I could not wait for another 2 months or so, to buy the black model.. But as I thought the white model started to bother me after few weeks..
What I am planing too do:
Option:
Before I start.. I've watched every review of Slikwraps on YT, and I've just done reading the @slickwraps thread.
Now I've found Slickwraps, so I can transform my white Note 3 to the blackish one (I'm still on the fence which skin to get?)
If anyone can help me with there experience, what comes the closest to looking kinda like original black one + that It looks elegant, please do so.. If anyone has black carbon, leather, metal or any other skin that looks elegant and it's not white, please post some pictures, write some words on how it is, I will appreciate any info.
On the side note, I'm already using official black flip case with the phone, so I only need the front + sides and camera stickers so I think something in black would look best with it..
I've also contacted slickwraps on here and over the mail I didn't get the answer yet, because of the holidays.. I'm a patient man, I can wait.
Now Slickwraps look like a perfect solution, but the problem here is, that the skin is risen up a bit over the actual screen, why is that a problem? I'm using tampered skin protector from panzerglass (great screen btw! I highly recommend it.) I've order two of there screen protectors one to keep it in OK condition until Slickwraps arrive and other I was planing to stick over the skin.. Now I've came across the video on YT where the reviewer said it can't be done that way..
So that is a problem, as I'm planing to use screen protector on my phone to keep my glass scratch free. I've read a review on sw thread that someone did apply the skin over the screen protector?! I'm afraid that the phone will look kinda funny (Not flat / even any more) doing that??
I am OK with any other sticker company (If you have some of there products please write about it + post some pics)..
Or if someone knows where I could buy a full black glass screen protector so it transforms my white Note to a black one.. That option would be the best choice, but I didn't found any..
I would also buy a screen protector that would only cover the centrer screen so I could have both skin + screen protector. But Again not such luck..
So if anyone has any suggestion what to do, please feel free to help a brother out.
I am opened to any other suggestion as well, just don't write posts like: You should get the black one, you should wait, or sell the white an buy the black..
Hello friend ,if I was you I will replaced the glass with method LOCA using the black colour and because your screen is not broken it's very easy to remove ?
And finally I had bought a black back battery cover ?
It's the best and it looks and it is like the OEM black note 3 ?
But it needs some skill for the LOCA but you cam learn in YouTube like I did ?
---------- Post added at 11:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 AM ----------
And also its very cheap ,15 euros the maximum ?
Isn't the better solution to sell your white and buy the black one?
