I have the white edition. The material on the phone. Will dirt sink into it overtime? Such as a white rubberized phone cases do. Anyone with experience with it happening? Staining colored etc.

You can always buy a replacement back plate. That is if it gets dirty over time, though I've had white phones for years and never came across such a problem.
Seems they designed the white back with that very thing in mind with the lack of matte coating as on the black.

Anyone else notice this? Mines coming off from being in and out of my pocket so much
Its disappointing to see the end of the kickstand look like it has paint peeling off
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
I peeled it off the second I unboxed it...
I meant it has a paint on the kickstands
If u look at it, it has a greyish tint to it and at the end of my kickstands this paint is peeling off so its a bright silver color

Just noticed this on mine... Thanks :/ Im starting to think this device is not so good after all.
I'm just hoping that once it peels of completely the "with Google" is still there

I just looked after reading this and mine is peeling too.
Mines not peeling yet, I will stop using it now though for sure.
I read on AC that someone was successful exchanging their TB for this problem. So you might want to get on that before it becomes more widespread.
i don't see any paint peeling off of mine, it seems like its just brushed aluminum, nothing to indicate that it has any kind of paint on it. maybe it's a clear coat over the metal?
No paint peeling here.. but I do have some scuffing.. I need a case.
I will probably end up plasti-dipping the kickstand lol....
I actually have a full body shield so mine is ok

I noticed mine peeling a couple of days ago, not a good start
I just taped mine up as a preventive measure. Looks like **** but whatever at least I can use it this way.
As anybody experience this weird thing where you get a case, usually a clear case for your sensation and the colors come off on your case? I've bout two clear cases from amazon and they're both brownish now.
If your speaking of the "TPU" plastic cases then yes they all change from whatever color to a brown,grey,or black depending on what color you started out with.I have seen this issue with all my cases dating back to the days of the Nexus One.

I wanted to see how many people use screen protectors . If they don't will it scratch easily or has anyone have any scratches because I hate my screen protector and I would to use it with out it but I dont wanna have scratches
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I don't use one, I did on my previous phones. I always hated the way the screen protectors felt compared to the bare glass.
The only scratches I have are from dropping my phone on the street, they are more like little nicks in the screen than
scratches. Now that I already have some, I don't think I'll put a screen protector on. I do have a screen protector that came
with my Otterbox if I feel like putting one on.
I figure that by the time I need a new phone, I'll already have a job and enough money to buy a new phone, so I don't feel like
babying this phone too much.
I've been rockin mine completely naked since release back in may.. hardly any scratches, only noticeable in a well lit area with the screen off at a certain angle. My phone went face first on the cement and slid about 7 inches, and I also dropped mine and I slid across my wood floors and still nothing.
However my buddy has deep scratches that can catch a fingernail. Someone else I know dropped his and the screen cracked from about a foot off the ground..

If you're a girl (which you may be, judging by your picture) you keep your phone in your purse. Purses are dirty and have sand/dirt in them. Sand will scratch your phone.
*this is based on my previous girlfriends. You might be cleaner than them.

i use the screen protector that came with my otterbox. after awhile you don't notice it's there.
i got a little nick in the screen protector on my last phone. i don't want to know what would have happened without it!

Only problem with me is I hate to cover up this beautiful screen! It was the main selling point of the phone for me. The way I see it is the screen protector will get scratched too, slaying the gorgeous LCD. It'll preserve the glass, but I'll get a new phone with my upgrade and this one will be passed down to maybe my godchild or someone. Screen protectors are perfect for long term users/others looking for the highest resale value

this is the second reason i use a screen protector (e.g., helps with resale value). i've had one on my phone from day one; not much of risk taker when it comes to the screen.
No screen protector here. Not one scratch either. This screen is too nice to cover up.

You should be good as long as you don't put it in your pocket with your keys or anything that can scratch it. Also, remember to lightly get most of the dust off before you wipe off finger prints. That way you won't get any small hairline scratches. If you're careful you should be good without one.

I've always preferred naked.
Having said that I've damaged a few too.
If u want to resell, use a cover for the back and a protector for the screen.
The polycarbonate backing within a few days started to show marking.
The screen has a very feint hairline scratch down the middle, but it hasn't been dropped & I'm very careful with handling it.
I'm yet to find covers or protectors that keep the phone looking good as nude, but if u want it looking good as new u wanna cover it up.

I looked up closest ghost armor retailer and had them install the clear ghost armor on the screen and the black carbon weave armor on the back.
I originally had them put a white one on the back as my X is white, but went back and they changed it to a black one for me at my request. Looks good in white an black.
Cost of two pieces installed was 20 bucks, 5 bucks if I ever need a half replaced for life of phone.

I have never used a screen protector. When I bought my One X I was talked into the Zagg protector from an AT&T employee, It wasn't bad but after it started getting hot here in AZ, I pulled it out of my pocket and the screen protector was slidin around. So I took it off. Havn't bothered to replce it and actualy like it better without.
I have always preferred naked phones.
I have never found a screen protector that doesn't make the phone less responsive or make the screen less crisp.
Looking at your phone wrong can cause the One X screen to scratch. (See the thread in the general section, or just Google One X screen scratch)
Others have recommended the Zagg HD screen protector, but I haven't tried one myself.

I don't have a case but always had a clear screen protection on my devices amd never felt a difference. I'd rather pit one on then having to look at a deep scratch every time I look at the screen, that's thousand times more annoying to me.

I was checking out the ballistic and Siedo case discussion on this section and a gentleman presented this case. Neither him or I have this case but just look at it. If you really need the highest level of protection then this case seems to be it!
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=360549613773&index=8&nav=SEARCH&nid=66660487352
It even offers cover for the 3.5 mm headphone jack, kickstand, and a holster!
I picked the red link since I like the color red, but they also offer it in black, purple, red (duh), white and blue.
Let me know what you guys think

One of the sellers is German.
I ordered a black + blue one a few days ago so I should recieve it in a few days. I also spotted a white + pink one too. I was impressed by the cheap Exact armor case I got from amazon, so I have high expectations on this one.
what do u do for a living, remove land mines?
I too have the 4 dollar exact Armor case from amazon and it's very well built I dropped my phone this morning on the way to the bathroom (about a e feet fall into my foot) and it survived pretty well! I wonder if this could be the case that I would be using to go to the gym with though. I would have to find a way to attach it to my bicycle. Nothing duct tape can't resolve!

Get a RAM XGrip mount for your bike and it will fit any phone in any case (except maybe a Note 2).
Another heavy-duty case here.
I'm going to order one of these to the UK

I am thinking about getting the upcoming moto x in white but I am worrying about colors rubbing onto the white Kevlar backplate.
I have never owned a device that uses Kevlar case so I am wondering if someone with experience can provide some insight.
Probably not a good idea. I had a white galaxy nexus, a week later it started to turn blue from my jeans.
I don't know if kevlar would be any different from plastic (in terms of turning blue).
