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

I made an aluminum stand for my gTablet today. Its nothing fancy, you can buy them online for about $30, but I'm learning to work with metal and happy with the results
I made it tall enough so that it is stable in portrait mode.

You can see the construction and more pics here
Next step will be to get our favorite green guy on there...I'm thinking acid-etched, but a sticker may be a lot simpler
Very nice.. maybe a duct tape hinge at the top bend (with a retaining piece across the middle of the two uprights) for portability?

I have a Lego stand for portability...
I can't take credit for the design - I saw something similar online and then gave my 10 year old $5 to make me something similar
Wow. That's really creative. I like both of them but especially the lego piece.

I had this made to order

you can use you own pics
I give them an 8/10
Thanks for posting. I thought about a skin but wondered how they would do those high edges. Glad I waited because I would not have been happy. Does the Flyer have those cheap inlaid HTC letter on the back? When it comes time to remove the skin, I wonder if the letters will peel off with it. I had that happen on a previous phone, I was glad OEM battery doors were cheap. The Flyer and View backs are not cheap.
I use to skin all my phones, now I just do the screen and a TPU case for them. I guess I will do the same for my View.
erm
the HTC looks engraved n filled I think
its under the skin now, can't check easy
I wiped mine down with ipa 1st before the stickers so they stuck well
Thanks for the 20% discount! hahah just joking with you...
seriously, you might want to erase it before someone grabs it before you
otherwise, i think it will look better on the black HTC View... flyer users might want a lighter color instead. to much contrast maybe.
but still good.
Has anyone tried/ordered either of these? I am wondering if those matte ones are rubbery, hope not. And if they are really thin...

I can't seem to find any other vendors of these, nor any US sellers. I guess I might just try some out. Will report how they look and feel if I do. Was hoping to get some type of feed back. I in particular like that glowing yellow.
Description states "polycarbonate" so they are stiff plastic. Please give a review when you get yours. Thanks.

The shinny/glossy ones seem obvious. I was wondering more about the matte/dull looking ones. I hate the rubberized ones that scrape and peel off.. Was trying to avoid those. Wanting at least a tiny bit flexible type plastic, would be nice, on the cheap
The stiff ones tend to snap, crackle and pop too easy..
I have the clear one,its ok but Im looking for something better

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.

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 ?
