Hey guys,
I recently bought a touch pro and need to fix some minor scratches in the casing. When i say the casing, I mean the area around the edges where the microphone is. Does anyone know what material this is made of and how it may have been painted? It looks like I just scratched part of the paint off, but it looks like a fairly complex paintjob. Does anyone have any ideas or know of any possible way I could get a new casing?
Thanks!

Hey guys, it seems like the camera lens is scratched very easily. Does anyone know how to fix this? Possibly a replacement or repolishing?
Are you having the same problem?
I'm not sure about replacement nor repolishing... but no, it seems that my camera lens do not scratch easily - as I have no single scratch on it so far.
I remember once when I had my first iPod, one of those 20GB white ones with the B+W screens, it got scratched really easily. And it was a plastic screen, like our camera lens. My dad was able to use some plastic wax or something and fill in the scratches and make it look like new. Try a SMALL amount of something like that.

same here. Anyways, I searched around, I found that there is kinda scratch removal, but nothing about for camera lens unfortunately. So, I am not sure, if it is possible to use that.

I dont think youre going to find a definite answer anywhere so only one way to find out
The covering over the camera is almost definitely plastic. I don't know why they didn't choose glass for better durability but oh well. So I am going to assume that anything that fixes plastic will work on the covering piece of the camera. If you find something that works please get back to us on this thread.
I searched around briefly about replacements, but didn't find anything. My camera lens cover is cracked. The photos are actually still OK though. So I'm not in a huge hurry.
I scratched the screen of my wife's Nexus S and was wondering whether I should try polishing the screen with iDrops (or a similar scratch removal polish)?
Main reason for this question is that I do not know whether the Nexus S screen type (capacitive SAMOLED) will be damaged (cosmetically or functionally) if polished. Thanks for your input!

I would think that polishing it may remove the oleophobic coating on the phone. I wouldn't do it, but maybe someone else on here knows better.
Out of curiosity, do you mind if I ask how you scratched the screen? Did it take a lot to scratch it? How bad is the scratch?
Thanks for your input...I won't be too concerned if it would lose the oleophobic coating as I will install a screen protector on it anyhow.
I scratched it when I dropped it out of my hand while picking it up. The sides of the phone are thin and slick and I think it is easy to let it slip for that reason. The phone dropped with the screen down on the stove, was a bad fall but I think the screen would have been largely undamaged if it would have had a screen protector installed.
Annoying is that I had ordered both the screen protector and silicone case for my wife's phone 2 weeks before I dropped it. If these items would have come in on time I would not have damaged her phone...
I wouldnt either. Seems a bit risky but u never know. It wont looks its touch factor but it will lose the top ole coat. Just slap a screen guard and ur good to go.
Don't know if it helps but I scratched my galaxy s screen which is samoled,and tried to polish it out, it left a permanent smudge ,looking worse than the original scratch!
Thanks for the input, guys. It looks like it is better to not polish it as it seems too risky.
Your best bet is to convince Best Buy that there is a defect with your phone and you need a replacement.
Don't feel as though you're scamming them. They scam people on a daily basis.
I noticed a few scratches on the bottom part of my screen and convinced BB that it was a defect so they exchanged it. I had also spoken to a represenative on the phone and was told that you can only do an exchange if you payed full price for the phone. Don't know if its true but that's what I was told

Related question: would BB exchange the phone for scratches without a problem if one has the black tie protection plan.
ok so we all pretty much know about the the HTC sensation's death grip issue.....if you don't...you should seriously find out...!
anyways....so this phones back cover has a part metallic and part plastic build rite....if HTC releases an all metallic cover or an all plastic cover...do YOU think that it might fix this phones problem?
cuz maaannnn...this death grip is really hurting this phones reputation? the phone is really quietly brilliant...!
let me know your thoughts dudes..!
it is not so bad like this
you need to hold it in way not affecting antenna around the camera lens
Hey guys..
So much for the 'invincible' Gorilla glass Not that I used the phone clumsily or anything. Have been treating it like a baby and have not even put the phone in my pocket as I am awaiting a screen protector which i ordered.
Unfortunately there seems to be a hairline scratch on the screen which is really making me tear its relatively small but running a microfiber cloth over it with my nail made me feel it very lightly.. Was wondering if whether any of you blokes could suggest a appropriate remedy for this issue..
Did go through the rest of the threads out there but there was no clear cut agreement on which method would be more safer and doable. Any ideas on how a scratch could be removed from a Gorilla glass?
Really appreciate your suggestions.
Thanks!

I suspect putting a screen protector on it now will completely disguise the scratch. Won't repair it, of course, but you shouldn't see it. If you sell it just point out it comes with a bonus screen protector already installed.

True enough A screen protector does mask out the scratch but you know.. :-S been an owner of the phone and knowing that there IS a scratch is a bit annoying. Though with all honesty, the scratch been only visible when looking at the screen from a certain angel and without any light falling on it..
Any ideas on how much a replacement screen would cost? Just to have options

I recommend finding the nearest Ghost Armor kiosk at a mall near you... They professionally install a full-body protector and are very good at getting scratches to look invisible.
I've used them ever since my Nexus One and now have it on every device!

Consider yourself lucky that you are beyond the obsessive new toy phase, and now you can start using it like a tool instead of obsessing over it. I'm always relieved when I get my first blemish. There may even be more...
I'd go with jdmarko's suggestion. If you try to polish the scratch out, you will need to use something abrasive. I'd be hesitant to do that because anything that will polish the scratch out would be abrasive in nature and might damage the rest of the phone.
I dont think there is a way to remove it.
I got the ghost armor on it first chance i had with this toy.I'm pretty bad at scratching stuff so it's definitely worth it.
@ jdmarko, jggonzalez, b00m83 - Wish i could find a place to get that done but unfortunately we dont find such joints here in Sri Lanka I have ordered a full body protector nevertheless and I am thinking of going for a Case-Mate hybrid tough case for complete protection.
@smacman - hehe, i know man but its just stinging in a way. guess i ll just have to get over it. However i am on the lookout to finding means to actually getting rid of the scratch.

was looking at that link and he seems to have had some success. unfortunately not really sure from where to find the compound he has used.
I am actually not willing to do this but just to know the options out there.
Does any one know whether its possible to get a replacement gorilla glass for any mobile for that matter? is that possible? the ones on ebay does not seem genuine gorilla to me :-S

Hi everyone
I have a problem with LED and HR monitor glass. When I removed the plastic that came with phone in a few days I noticed little scratches on the glass that cover LED and HR monitor. Its not big deal since it does not affect picture quality nor HR sensor but i came here to ask if there is any way to buy that little plastic protectors for camera and LED-HR monitor glass. Every screen protector kit that I looked does not include protectors for that.
The HR-LED was scratched on my first galaxy s6 too, i took off the plastic cover only to find a big scratch on the actual glass, you and me are not the only ones complaining about this issue.

Yes I know that this is a issue with SGS 6. Lot of posts on forums about this problem. I just wanted to know is there any way to buy that little plastic foil just to prevent further scratches and damage. Its not problem to buy some screen protector kit if thats the only way to get that little foil but I cant find anything. Even from Samsung not any help.

There might be but its very small and very specific, since so many people see it scratched they wont bother to prevent further scratching so i dont think that theres a store that manufactures such plastic, you probably have a better chance asking samsung directly but i might be wrong.
I would be more worried about the camera lens than the entire backside of the phone so i usually do something very simple, i always store my phone into a bag of double soft cloth, that way i can feel safe that the phone is protected from all directions.
Use clear nail polish.
