Take a look at the picture of the inside case. Everywhere on the bottom, basically. Might be tough to see, but everywhere that it looks a little white/foggy/shiny.

No offense, but that's cheap and tacky, somewhat invasive, and won't last long before it has to be replaced. This method is simple and gets more to the root of the problem. Squeaking plastic rubbing together.

This works great. Bought some DuPont Teflon spray (PTFE is a generic name for Teflon). Did as OP instructed and now no more creaking.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Revolution HD 3.6.3 XE
Or just buy a nice silicon gel case
which also helps prevent damage from accidentally dropping it as well. I have never heard a single creak yet.
Nice guide will give this a try. Until now i just some paper to prevent creaking.

Just got this case and so far it's good. I love the kickstand. I have the zagg screen protector combined with this case and I'm loving it.

Awesome dude. I've been watching that case and was wondering when someone would do a review for it. Can you tell me the size after? maybe a before and after side by side? I love the slimness of the phone so I don't want added bulk.
Thanks!

It adds some bulk; nothing mayor that can't be dealt with. It kind of feels like the HTC Thunderbolt. But still, it feels like it will protect it against any fall. The pro is the kickstand.

It would be easily painted tbh, it would need sanding down then painting with a primer/undercoat then a topcoat of your choosing (Depending on the paint you may need to add a top coat of lacquer)

This guy has beat HTC at their own design.
The problem with the pain removers is that it would also remove it from the "htc" which then takes away from the appeal imo.
if you look at the pictures theyre still black against chrome
maybe you guys are looking at this thing too much and now his site is down because

I just broke mine recently too, I ordered a white replacement digitizer on ebay, originally thought I would receive the whole assembly as most are advertised with the housing that has volume /power buttons, I got just the screen still easy fix though it required some tough gloves and a screwdriver to break all the old digitizer out and some impact proof superglue to put old one in though it worked, and now i have a black and white g2x its quite nice here's a link to a video on how to replace it.
I would recommend for ease of replacement to get a black one with the housing (volume and power buttons) attached. much much easier to replace.

dude, that's seriously sick. is your battery door still that weird brown color? i found one white digitizer on ebay for $78. is that what you paid?
I sent mine to LG (well, Stellar Wireless) after I dropped it, and they swapped it out for me for $40. Unfortunately, the one they sent me had non0functioning 4G and GPS, so I had to send it back in and I'm waiting for my replacement to be returned to me.
I ordered the digitizer from eBay. Hopefully it won't be too difficult to replace

So i wanna see what happen to you if the phone looks like that. Dang man thats bad about the phone but its fix able. Unless you want to sell the phone to me for $50 ill take her off your hands
My new digitizer should be here in a couple days, seems a whole lot easier to repair than my last phone, so I will update on how it goes. My biggest thought is about getting dust or anything between the LCD and digitizer. :/
looks like a nasty fall did you have a screen protector on it or even a case? or were you rocking the naked look? just curious
Naked of course lol I don't think anything would've protected it tbh

Bought a black speck case off of amazon after seeing one in the TMO store. Loved the feel and weight of the case. Got the case and slipped it on my phone. Didn't even make it a day without looking like it had been hit with a cheese grinder.
So i tried to think of a way to get rid of the scratches. Car scratch remover was a fail and i got so pissed i threw it in my father in laws sand blaster. To my surprise it turned out great. removed the black paint and used armor all wipes and spray then let it dry in the sun.
