Tired of LG G2 shiny back cover? - G2 General

I buffed my shine off with fine steel wool (grade 00) , then buffed it over a final time with ultra fine steel wool (grade 0000). It's available at any Home Depot. It leaves you with a slick matte finish, no gloss, no excessive fingerprints.
I removed my back cover to do this, but its not necessary. It's actually quite easy to remove, almost like a removable back cover. I just pushed my fingernail in and got a gap, then proceeded around the edges popping each clip as I went... Alternatively you could just put tape on your camera lense to avoid scratching it.

Sorry, I have my old GS3, so not great pics. I set it at 640x480 to avoid too large files. They do show its lighter, a charcoal color now vs. the original black and you can see its now matte and not shiney. A few small scratches at there, that I still need to rub out with the ultra fine steel wool.

Set 2 - new account here and it wont let me post more than once every 5 mins.

If I had thought about it, I would have done this with my S3 over a year ago... HATE THE SHINE...
The big take here, other than you can smack the shine off with steel wool, is that the back cover is easily removable, so I would assume 3rd party replacements with real soft touch back covers are a real possibility. I hate to have a case, but a new back cover with soft touch plastic ala Nexus 7 (either rubbery like '12 or soft like '13) would make this phone perfect... Whoot!

That looks pretty nice. It even removed Verizon's crap.

Yes, I shed a little tear for that... heheh . Too bad I cant steel wool the Verizon logo off the front without making it look like crap.

Looks great. only thing I am concerned for is the design under the gloss of the ATT version. I am pretty sure the rear panels differ between carrier. I just ordered the Spigen Slim Armor...if I don't like the case, I will give this a go.

Replacement rear cover

Has anyone seen a replacement cover for that ugly glossy black part? I'd love to replace that with a better looking piece of plastic.
I doubt there will ever be one. Unless you can talk joey3002 into making some again, but I think he's done with the covers.
You should wait and see what the phone looks like in person.
I was just gonna take it off and go at it with 800 or 1000 grit wet and take off the gloss

I agree 100%. I don't want to put a case on my EVO but definetly need to replace that ugly glossy black part. HTC should just have kept it matte black.
I'm going with an otterbox defender. I need a heavy duty case though. Have had an otterbox on my Eco 4 G since week two after it launched. Quality case.
I would pay $$$ to get one in CF..

If the reason why that piece of the phone is plastic is due to the antenna placement, then replacing it with a cf piece may cause some signal attenuation as CF works as RF shielding for some applications, as i've read from RC model airplane forums where people discuss when and where to use CF in their planes.
also, NFC does not work without that specific cover in place. There are antennas and whatnot built into the thing. watch Phil Nickinsons quick walkthrough video on android central to see what I mean. he said that nfc definitely doesnt work without the cover on.
How about some carbon fiber vinyl wrap? It's not actual carbon so it shouldn't block anything right?

Eh the issue that you will have is making sure that it is cut correctly.
Will
thats what that xo skins cf-look skin looks like. 3m di-noc would work pretty well as its thin enough to wrap around some basic curvatures like the one we have for the back cover. I've seen it wrapped around some crazy shapes without additional relief cuts or anything so it would be a good place to start if you don't want to pay the 15 bucks for a few pieces of that material pre-cut for the phone.
I have 2 small rolls of the CF Di-Noc in both silver and black. Will upload pics as soon as I can get it laid down. Now to decided which color.

[HOW TO] Sanding Top Cover to Matte Black - DIY Instructions

[HOW TO] Sanding Top Cover to Matte Black - DIY Instructions
Attempt this physical modification at your own risk. None of the individuals mentioned in this post, nor those who offer advice and opinions outside of this post, are responsible for any success/failure you may experience during your attempt.
Credit for this idea goes to boonxeven
Credit for this How-to write up goes to mrnamster. I simply made a standalone thread for it, added some process modifications, and added some pictures of the sanding job I did on my LTEvo.
**CLICK HERE** to view the original thread and please make sure to click the thanks button on boonxeven (OP) and mrnamster's (p. 4) posts.
Materials
600 grit or finer wet/dry sandpaper, cut and folded
1000 grit wet sandpaper, cut and folded (optional)
Water to unclog sandpaper. I used a spray bottle.
Lint-free cloth (for wiping)
Evo LTE cover, removed from phone
Knife, flathead screwdriver, or flat safepry tool. (optional Step)
Superglue(Optional step)
Procedure
Remove Camera lens from rear cover by breaking soft welds in the areas indicated in the pictures below. (optional step)
Pictures:
http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f238/Concordium/IMAG0108B.jpg
Wet sandpaper
Lightly sand the cover using a small symmetrical circular motion. Start with the difficult areas first (around lens cover and on rounded edges). Do the sharp edges last as those sand quickly.
Use the folded end to sand around the lens cover. You can opt to press the lens cover off or tape it. It's metal so it's not likely to scratch.
Pictures:
http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f238/Concordium/IMG_1123.jpg
http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f238/Concordium/IMG_1120.jpg
Wipe with damp lint-free cloth, let dry and resand any spots if necessary.
Pictures:
http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f238/Concordium/IMG_1119.jpg
***Remember, your cover is going to look horrible until you finish the job. So if you start getting nervous halfway through when your cover looks like the picture above then don't worry. It's normal until everything gets evened out.
Pictures:
http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f238/Concordium/IMG_1128.jpg
Periodically dip the sandpaper in water if it starts to get clogged (usually turns white as it builds up).
(Optional Step) Use 1000 grit wet sandpaper to even up stroke marks and bring the entire rear cover to a nice, clean and even finish.
Rinse, clean, and dry rear cover before reinstalling.
Using superglue, reinstall camera lens cover onto phone rear cover. Superglue is used to ensure a solid fit. (optional step)
Notes
Take your time to lightly sand away the gloss finish of the paint by applying minimal pressure to the sandpaper. Periodically wipe, let dry and sand some more. If you sand too much it will dig into the plastic and turn light black/gray.
Do not try to rush this job. Using large strokes or trying to sand using rapid strokes will not make the job go any faster. If anything it will make it take longer due to the uneven and sloppy results such a method will yield. Patience is the key here. Slow and steady will yield the best results.
Avoid getting the inside of the cover wet. If you do happen to get it wet make sure to dry the entire inside, especially the metal contacts, thoroughly before reinstalling onto your phone.
A soft brush helps clean the nooks and crannies when done.

Nice info. I was about to do this but then I bought a TPU case instead.
I didn't think the matte and glossy finish was a big deal before, but now that I've seen this, the dual finish really looks odd. It's like someone broke the top part of the phone and then salvaged part of a case from a different phone.
The back should have been all matte.

It really doesn't take long to do at all. The sanding process takes a bit of common sense and a little bit of caution just like skinning your phone would.

[Hardware Mod] Sanded down front and back of black chassis (Pics)

I sanded down the back of my black chassis yesterday and then got bored at work today so I decided to sand down the front as well and make my LTEvo even more unique. I don't expect everyone to like it. Some will.....some won't. It's all good. I just enjoy modding things and I like having a truly one of a kind phone.
That having been said.....ONT TO THE PICS!!!

Well I did it for 2 reasons. 1, I love to mod things. So trying different things that I don't see anywhere was my inspiration. 2, I wanted to have a phone that was 100% unique. Between my software setup, theme, and external appearance I can honestly say that there is no other phone like mine in the world. Customizations! That's why I love Android as well!

I disassembled the phone. There is no way that I would sand the front down with the digitizer still attached. I would've scratched the crap out of it. I like the silver accents on the front.
Also, I had black marks along the side of my phone (the trim on the side of the phone that is silver from the manufacturer). I just took some ultra fine grit sandpaper (400 - 600 grit) and sanded the side of the chassis down as well. It got rid of all of the scratches and knicks that I had in the chassis and smoothed it all out to a more uniform finish that matched the rest of the sanded phone. So after a while of using the phone you notice scratches and imperfections like that along the silver trim just sand it down a tad and it will look as good as new. :good:
Nicely done. I've been wanting to do something like that myself. I sanded down the top housing and painted it dark grey.
Where did you get those carbon fiber parts?
Some 2000 grit and then some Flitz metal polish would really set that off.
Really cool - I like all the metallic exposure!
That looks awesome! I like how you left the black htc letters on the back too. Nice job!

I disassembled the phone in order to sand the chassis so that there was no risk of accidentally sanding the screen. Takes a minute or two to take the phone apart and you are ready to start sanding.

I ordered a Smoke one on Sunday and it arrived today. It is my first case ever for a phone so I can't comment too much. It seems to fit the well and has a pleasant touch feeling. It is a little more glossy than I expected. There is a slight lip around the front that should protect the screen a little from drops. All of the buttons, ports, microphones, and speaker have cutouts as described so it doesn't impede with the phone usage.

Does it look like the attached? The images on the site are different from the Sprint and AT&T versions, though when I called Cruzerlite, they said that the cases for AT&T are the translucent material as well. Image is of the Sprint version. I'll buy one anyway, as I am in meetings a lot and would like visibility of the notification light - hoping that I might actually catch the 1 in 30 second light bleep.

Yes basically. The hole around the camera and flash is smaller on the actual case, fitting it properly. The other big difference is that the rubber of the android guy is less translucent than the picture shows. You can't see the reflective finish through the android. You can however, see the AT&T logo through it.. You can see the finish through the non-android rubber. The cutouts for the buttons and ports are larger on the actual case. The buttons are recessed behind the case, not sticking out like in the picture. They still are easy to press but it will prevent accidental pushes in your pocket. Also its hard to see in that photo, but the left and right sides are ribbed and colored like the android.
I think that picture is a photoshop.

I appreciate the feedback and detail, Patsfan (go Pats - lived up there '76-'80)! The Diztronic case I have is great, though thought I'd pick up one of these to try out and have for a backup. The images for the AT&T version all look to be solid colors without any translucency. The person on the phone said they were, but she wasn't convincing.
Yes go Pats! I will try to take a picture but the only other camera I have is a nexus one. I also have a Diztronic case on order from Amazon.. Just waiting for it to ship.

got my Diztronic saturday, its one of the nicest cases I've ever had, for any phone including my old iPhones.
I got the clear cruzerlite to try, after having gone caseless for a while and also trying one of the inexpensive HR wireless hard cases for a few weeks. I like it.
I want to add as little bulk as possible so I like the size of the cruzerlite. Especially compared to the HR wireless's huge lip around the front. I don't use a screen protector but the front lip wraps around so little that I don't think it would interfere with one. The texture of the android guy and the sides is nice.
I originally wrote that the fit wasn't great. It seemed to be offset to one side. I have since pulled the case of and put it back on starting with the other side, and it is nearly perfect now. The only real downside about the appearance, to me, is the way the material sticks to the glass back in spots (like a static window cling). But that's really minimal.
They're buy 2 get 1 free at Amazon but I only got the one (and bought some other stuff with it so shipping was free).
Bought the Black and Green one off of Amazon with Prime Shipping. That and my phone arrive Thursday.

I bought this after using the Diztronic for a month. Made the phone feel more like the svelte hardware it should be, rather than a block. Protection does not deem to have suffered either.

LG G2 Back Cover: Plasti Dip And Paint

Just thought that I would share this since mine turned out pretty good. I plasti dip my back cover and then painted it. Turned out really good and does not effect my wireless charging. What do you guys think? Oh yeah, it can be peeled off if since the plasti dip is the first layer.
I think you should have picked a better color
Looks good, hows the grip?
Does it affect the IR blaster?

When you take the cover off there is actually a plastic piece on the top of the cover where the IR sensor would be. Take that piece out before you do anything and then just put it back when you are done. Will not effect IR Blaster.

It really looks good in person. The grip is great. It wont slide around if it was on a smooth surface. It really feels like a really high end battery cover.
Ummm...I still prefer the stock look since that material doesn't look like it would be as comfortable.
May I know why ya had to paint and plasti-Dip?
Is plasti-Dip enough?
Also, is removing the back cover that easy? I'm having doubts on my international set..
Btw, thanks for posting the pics!

I plasti dip first so if I decided to take it off it would come off easy since the first layer is plasti dip and not just paint. You can definitely just use plasti dip but be aware that it might not last as long since you are constantly putting it you pocket. The edges might start to come off. After I painted the cover with a couple of coats, I also did a couple of coats of clear finish on it just to make sure.
Removing the back cover on my Verizon LG G2 was very easy. I picked a corner and was able to pull away the corner just enough to slide a plastic wedge in, and then i slowly and patiently moved it along the sides separating the cover from the phone. Just be careful and go slow and you shouldnt have any problems.
I wish I had the testicular fortitude to even think about trying it. Glad it worked out for you as that back has to be my one and only annoyance with the phone (other than the small buttons - but wireless charging is a nice trade off if that's what it took).
