Brand new s9+ day one.
Opened it to find the plastic on the corners to be unsightly and partially pealing off.
Any advice?
EU model
Send it back if you can. Or live with it. Sorry.
Puzzled here.
What parts of the phone's exterior - corners or otherwise - are made of plastic?

Not the corners themselves. There is a plastic covering them. It's unsightly, but i'll live with it
Oh, do you probably mean the protective film which was on there?
Could just peel the plastic off. It's a protective layer same as you get on front and back.
You are supposed to peel those off.

yeah you peel them off lol
Yeah those are protective coverings you have to peel them off which can be a bit tough lol
Start near the button's and drag them out with your fingernail; don't apply to much pressure, just drag it of repeatedly until you can get it.

Just grab it top to bottom and pull. Best places to peel off are where the layer ends at like speaker port. Volume keys and so on. If you have big fingers and can't grip it maybe get some tweezers bit be careful not to scratch your new phone. Failing that just keep using the phone it will come off.

This is for the international version of the gnote.
Speaker, s pen, camera and led cut outs are identical.
Bottom tabs are in perfect positions
Top and the sides the tabs were a little wide and a bit off on position. with a exacto knife i was able to trim excess off the tabs so it lined up to snap in. Some of the tabs ended up a lot smaller than the stock size but still had that click sound when i put it on. Once it was on it was pretty secure and snug. Compared to the stock cover. its a bit easier to take off and had a good feel to it. its also thicker and kinda have a less slippery feel.
I am pretty satisfied with the product build. It was nicely crafted. Only issue is the red looks more pink to me than red and it was made for the international version.
Hows the signal compare to the stock? Aluminum and other metals can block radio waves. It is a real problem, not sure how you could avoid it with that cover.
Thanks im gonna do the same I ordered 2 doors. the carbon and a white leather one.. Thanks for the run down i fig it would be something simple to make these work.
IT'S NOT PINK BRO IT'S "CRIMSON" LOL nice work though man!

Is this as thin as the original back cover?

its thicker. i'd say original + half of original is the thickness. enough to sink the camera lens down a bit.
Im hoping I can get all my battery covers to work like yours. Do you have before and after pics of the cuts you made? I got 4 international covers after they pretty much confirmed the size and shape were identical. I had no idea they would make the tabs different I have a really nice carbon fiber patterned one that feels like leather that I can't get to fit right. I just dont want to go and start cutting tabs and mess one up and it not fit properly
TIA
I hope someone sells these for the AT&T Note. I ordered one of these and tried to cut it to fit but ended up with the cover not properly holding/latching on half of one side.
Just wondering did you detach the nfc part of the original and put it on the red one?

Do you play a lot of games or hold the device in landscape often?
I'm just spit-balling here, but.. could be oil from your palm penetrating the stock screen protector? or between stock and your screen protector?
Maybe it was there from the start but I never noticed it. Haven't played any games on it or had my finger there.
I really wonder what it is and why you can only see it when breathing on it, when I wipe it clean its really hard to see.
How easy is it to remove the ASF?

I would think it is the coating on the screen protector as well.
As for removing the stock protector, it can be done but by all accounts you will feel like committing suicide halfway through. there is a guide somewhere on here
Well, the thread can be closed because I destroyed the phone :good:
Time to get a new one and put on a screenprotector asap.
what, why, how?
removing the anti shatter layer? if so what's wrong?
I have got the exact same thing with my phone

My cats had went haywire in the kitchen so I slipped on the floor and the phone went flying. I laughed because it was so stupid. This is the second time this happens in the kitchen.. anyway, I will order a new one tonight.
I should probably be sad and stuff but for some reason Im not.
Good to know you also have it though, so that I wont be bothered on the new unit

Can't hide them with white coating/stickers from Dbrand or Slickwraps? :silly:

It's the black glossy bar surrounding the camera/sensors at the top. Google calls it the "Visor" (marketing term, I guess)
Wouldn't these block the laser focus?

Cool but it needs to be clear for the autofocus laser.
I think it kind of actually looks better with the black visor.

i'm anxious to see a teardown of this model. what is behind the glass? is the glass tinted/painted black or is there something against it that gives it the color?

if that's the case - all of this hub-bub over what to cover it with is invalidated if we can just change the plate behind it. would be sweet if you could re-position the notification LED to illuminate the back panel.
I like the black bar and I'll embrace it. Went with the Frost to emphasize it. Besides, those chamferred edges on the Frost was just too sexy to pass up.
Hi guys,
one thing that annoys me is the rounded back of the nexus. When you lay it on the table it turns left and right when scrolling onehandedly....this is really nerveracking.
At the moment I use one of them TPU cases but this has the same rounding and thus the same turning.
Are there any (non-flip) covers that tackle this?
Cheers
check out the ringke fusion case. I love it and solved that issue for me
look at diztronic case, is not totally flat but helps to make N6 more stable
http://www.amazon.it/Diztronic-Matt...=1449071789&sr=8-1&keywords=diztronic+nexus+6
Cheers guys...but both cases are rounded too, how does it solve it?
The Poetic Revolution has a flat back. It has some pegs on the inside back wall that are holding the phone in place. Great case, except for the flat buttons but you can get used to those.
I had this one...
http://www.amazon.com/Evocel®-Prote...merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1450211642&sr=1-31
Makes the phone flat, but pretty bulky, and no longer feels like a luxury item in this case.
Hi guys, thanks again for all those tips....
Got myself this one now :
Nillkin Slim Armor Bumper Rahmen-Schutzhülle, stoßfest, für Google Nexus, 6 https://www.amazon.de/dp/B00T2R9V7A/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_hnACwb693RZ0W
It is perfect, no rocking and turning, the phone lies firmly on those two bars running from the backsides' top to bottom.
Only downside is that you now can see the white back case which I bought accidently but kept.

The Ringke FUSION has a ring around the nexus logo that effectively stabilizes the phone. It is not perfectly stable, but ends up being fine for light usage of the phone when it's laying on a table. See this picture (found via google image search) for a better view of how it works.

Is that frame around the Nexus-Word indented? If so then yes, that should indeed work as well.
I'm sure someone could 3D print a case with enough incentive. I would pay decent money for a case that flattens the phone so I wouldn't have to give up my airdock

Indeed. If it had a matte soft touch feel (like the Nexus5), and if it filled in the curves without adding much height to the hump on the back, that'd be great. It'd be thin in the middle, thicker on the sides of the back where the curve goes up.
The problem with the Nillkin Slim Armor Bumper is that it does add some height above the back area. If it had half the height off the back, it'd still be a fine case. Sometimes I'm tempted to find a belt sander and smooth it down a bit on my own.
Evocel and Ranz on amazon are both flat backs
That Ranz case is the worst piece of crap I ever bought. I threw it away immediately after I got it.

After years of using other brand's decal, I decided get my hands dirty and create my own. Here's my first carbon fiber decal for Samsung S7 Edge. The process is definitely longer than I expected, but I think it looks good.

Yeah, one of the biggest reason I decided to create a decal because the phone is too slippery. I bought raw carbon fiber film on Amazon and trace/measure every corners and cut it myself.

I tried 3M decal, but I don't like it. It's too thick and the edge sticks out too much for my liking. I use this one instead - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0059XCVVO
i personally prefer the 3M Di-Noc. it has a deeper texture. if you use a heat gun and run your fingernail along the edge, it smooths out.

you only need the heat the material enough to soften it...not all that hot.
If a heat gun is too scary, I have done a homemade skin myself as well. I used a hairdryer. Works just as good and you can toggle warm to hot.
