There is a nasty scratch where the stylus fits into the phone. I wanted to know if there is a device manual for replacing the gold trim around the phone and where i could buy that trim. I know it's simply aesthetics but if i can fix it i would love to.

Just got my SX66 2 days back, so I was thinking of using a screen protector. Need a little direction.
Firstly is it a good idea to use screen protectors or is the BA screen tough enough to take the beating?
Though I'd still prefer one
For right now I put on the HP screen protector on the BA, but they really bother me since they get scratched easy, its hard to not get bubbles n they reduce the contrast and brightness on the screen.
Are there any good protectors out there like scratch proof, washable easy to install without air bubbles, dont reduce the brightness help with the glare issue? Where can I get them?
Also where can I get one of those headphone adapters with the mic and answer button built in.
P.S anyone knows where I can get BA accesseries in Ottawa, ON or maybe an online store from Canada at good prices (besides EXPANSYS). Had to pay like $125 in duties on the phone plus I really hate to wait.
Regards

I just ordered my holster from seidio and all I need is a full body invisible transparent shield for Tilt. I'm having a difficult time trying to determine which brand is a better choices(Bodyguardz, zagg, phantom skinz). So far, I'm leaning toward Bodyguardz full body shield because it seems to protect the chrome corner side part and heard good reviews on surface texture feel.
Any inputs before I order the bodyguardz? Money is not easy to come by for me so I want to make sure before I plunk down hard earned cash. =)
Thanks in advance.
I bought one of them, think it was the bodyguard or flex version. I cant tell you how they hold up though because I ended up destroying mine while trying to put them on. Talk about a pain in the ass.
It was difficult to place them in the right spots and keep out the air bubbles, even using a credit card to squeegee the air out didnt work out to well. Then some how pieces of the larger ones were sticking to themselves while I was trying to put them on. They arent like the simple screen protectors that come with the phone and are very easy to put on.
They need an instructional video for people like me. Id really love to use the full protectors after shelling out the money I did for my Tilt 2, but I wont waste my money on something thats im likely to ruin before I even get on.
Bodyguardz
Bodyguardz is great, feel and protection wise. It is a little difficult to put on but once on correctly it will be worth it. If you use a little water (actually it comes with applicator spray) it will make it easier to position while applying. I used a Best Skins Ever on my Fuze and it was a little sticky while sliding with the finger but this one is almost like the stock protector, but thicker, longer lasting. If you do a search here a xda there is a thread where someone did a very good job showing and explaining how to put it on. GREAT Of course I have Tmous TP2 but I don't think they are that much different.
I finally took the plunge and ordered bodyguardz for my tilt 2. I'll post pictures and post it here. I hope I'll do a good job installing it. I hope the shield will protect the chrome edge part of the tilt2.
have you guys ever heard of GHOSTARMOR. very similar product. these guys show videos of their product actually being scratched and tossed around. They say its made out of the same material they use on military applications. this stuff looks extremely durable from their videos.

I wonder if bodygaurdz is made out of the same material that GHOSTARMOR uses. Ive been really leaning towards getting GHOSTARMOR for my Sprint TP2.
I have the AT&T Tilt 2 and I love the screen shield that came in the box...does anyone know where to get more?
There was no water needed. Simply apply the shield and VOWLA* (<-check spelling) it fit perfect...

i do like the att screen shield - it is very smooth and feels nice. i bought a 3pack for $10 at the local att store when i picked up my new tilt2. had to ask to find them. i have 3 tiny specks of something on the current one (not bothersome so much), because once you peel the back it attracts everything to them. ive got the second one on and have 1 more before i realized that it had one i the box lol. i just got my 2 pack of body guardz but havent had the time to put it on. must devote my full attention to the process! there are great youtube videos for application tips and also great thread on this somewhere. i am very a very detail oriented person and a flawed application will drive me nuts. anywho i have 2 to try for $20 (i used a 20%) off coupon. will let you know how it goes. i chose bodyguardz cuz everyone said they are very smooth and durable and you get 2 instead of one....
att stock screen guards/got new bodyguardz
this was a dup sorry

I see...
I was actually looking for a screen protector online and in stores and stumbled into the one that AT&T put into the box with the phone. I was soooo excited!
Anyway...I don't know if I can spend $20 on 2 from bodyguardz...it's way too much money. However...you do get a lifetime replacement on them...so it might not be that bad.
Let me know how they come out and if you like them...I'm curious to see how they fit the Tilt 2.
Did you get just the screen protector of the case/phone protectors? They also sell the plastic peices for the back and sides...???
Snap some pics when your done with the application!
Thanks,
so the one that att has out of the box.. does it require cutting? or is it an exact fit?

It should be an exact fit
lol yea.. i actually just got mine today.. so yea found out myself... and i put it on perfectly!! seems like a very legit screen protector... very rearely do i use the screen protectors that come out of the box.. this one is actually well made and durable
id love to see pictures of this. Thanks. I ordered the only case ATT had which is a clear plastic one.
I much rather use this and a leather case so i dont scratch it with the case itself.
Bodyguardz
I bought a pair of Bodyguardz because I was very happy with them on my Raphael. They survived a crash (on the moped) which my denim jeans didn't. I also tried Best skinz ever, but they peel off far to easily. I won't be buying that anymore. Anyway, the BGZ armor has been protecting my phone for almost or over a month now. Still happy with it. I'm not so pleased with the fitting though. The ones for Raphel fit absolutely perfect. the one for Rhodium not so... I have to say I could have done a better job with the pieces on the (front)sides of the phone. But that's easy to say in hindsight. It wasn't very clear how they would fit before application. Now I know better. the screenprotector is the worst part (the way its cut out). However many people complain about the screenprotectors from BSE/BGZ/GA because of the rubber-y-ness and go for the stock one (I f-ed up my stock screenprotector so had no choice, btw I've gotten used to it). Still I would recommend BGZ. BGZ has proven itself to me several times. A crash and several drops on the floor. No damage, no scratch and doesn't peel off that easily.
So I've noticed that since the backplate of the Atrix is all plastic, it gets pretty slippery and wants to fall out of my hands a lot. Are there any rubberized backplate replacements for the Atrix? I'm looking for something similar to the texture of the back of the Droid 2. I really don't like cases because I feel that they add so much girth to the phone. I'm also open to any DIY solutions as well.
I know someone used some type of rubber spray paint or something to give it a textured rubber feel. I'll try to dig up a link.
*edit*
Bingo!

Good luck my friend
I may give that a try. What I would like to do is get a stock backplate replacement and spray that, just in case I don't like it or I screw it up.

I saw that Bell in Canada will be carrying spare backs and also some 3rd party rubberized backs. you might want to look there first.
EDIT: after I thought about it, it's either "rubberized" or "ruggedized". either way, it's non-oem

I have seen that one floating around Google but I feel its a little sketchy since every website has the exact same low res pic. I may wait a bit to see if anyone else gets it.
I dropped my phone and now I have a few chips on the edges. At first to cover them up I would color over them with a permanent marker, looked great. You would never know it had any chips. But the maker fades off after a few days. Does anyone know any better ways to cover the chips? Besides getting a case since I love the way the bare phone looks. Thanks!
A case.

I've always had mine in a case and I've lost soo much paint it's not even funny. I've been considering sanding it down so it's nice a silver on the front.
Ghost armor, but for bare phone...you don't have options that are very good or don't require amazing ability or way too much effort. My advice would be to do what I did. I actually had a scratch and leak of liquid crystal. I bought the housing, LCD, glass + digitizer, all in one piece. 49 dollars on Ebay in mint condition. There are plenty of tear down guides out there and videos that make the motherboard swap real easy and safe. You could buy just the housing for even cheaper and the repair would be even easier. Your phone will then be in mint condition again.

Moving to Q&A
I'm looking for a replacement back cover. I don't want to go with a case, it only just fits in my pocket, and IDK that I have a whole lot of mms to play with.
My problem is, my wife and I each got one, and they are both black. I almost walked out of the house with both the other day because I wasn't paying attention. If I could do something to differentiate the look a little, that would help greatly. I got stickerboy decals or stickers or whatever you call them, but I can't quite get it to line up (disclaimer: This is almost assuredly my problem, not anything wrong with stickerboy).
Any ideas on a replacement cover or one coming soon on the horizon?

Wonder what the chances are if anyone would make an actual "metal" back cover..
I've seen these for the s4

or at least a soft plastic or wood or other colors...
same here!
I hate the cheap feel of the back cover so I was thinking of a skin but I would prefer a simple backcover replacement... I love the wood option on the OnePlus One... I'm still waiting for someone to make this for the G3
I just brought this phone and was looking for a Matt battery cover as i don't want a case too. use to and love the feel of my nexus 5 backing. anyone seen anything like this around?
edit: found this but is another layer. looks good though
