Rubber material scratches - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have a Nexus 5 black version.
The phone is great but I have scratches in the rubber material. Can I repair it? I tried to paint the spot with matte black but I can see the difference.
Thank you.

You can't repair it. But you can cover it with a skin...

Anyone know if you can just rub the rubber coat off? I might consider that in the future if my N5 gets scratched up pretty bad.

You can always buy a brand new "OEM" back cover for about $30. Check online and see.

I had recently bought galaxy iphone and I had installed white iphone 4 skin cover. This skin cover provides protection to my device from scratches and any other sort of damage.

Best Epic 4g Case?

What is the best Epic 4g case that isn't too bulky like an OtterBox? A slime case.

EDIT: it isn't so thin. I think its thinner then the otter box, (I have it) but not many cases are thin for this phone. If you find one let me know XD.

Best? not even close... but I bought a case similar to this one about two years ago. Its saved my phone several times. The part that clips on the keyboard/battery half does not stay on anymore though. The 4 nubs are worn out and don't hold it. The screen part is what I was most worried about though and it still holds tight.
I was planning to go caseless after having aluminum cases on most of my previous phones until I dropped my epic just right and shattered the screen. I replaced the screen assembly and decided to get a case for it. I have went without a screen protector and have not had a single scratch. Gorilla Glass is something I'll be looking for on future phones for sure.

Incipio Dualpro hard shell case with silicone core

Not a fan. The silicone is flimsy and our doesn't really cover the lip of the phone that well. Horrible case imo

It's a minimal dual layer, I have one for my gs3, as well as an otterbox. The otterbox has more protection but you gain mass and heft. I like the incipio because it is slim but still offers good protection
I actually had this one on my phone and was paying for it in the store but I scrubbed the purchase before I could even check out. I think it looks really nice and will probably give good drop protection, but the flimsy silicone would drive me crazy. When you push the side buttons the silicone would buckle. The silicone in the top and bottom didn't fit snugly. JMO. Like I said I looked the way it looked. It was the brushed aluminum dual pro shine with black silicone. Just not snug enough of a fit for me.

I saved my phone from a 6 ft fall right onto the hard floor.I guess some people just dont know cases.

I have had this case on my S4 since I got the phone thru verizon, about 10 days . Black on black. I wanted a slim case with decent drop protection. This was a good compromise. The soft inner core does over lap on to the front of the screen a bit, wich is good as I can lay the phone face down without damaging the screen. The soft rubber inner core does attract lint where it is exposed, but I expected that.
so far I am happy with the case. But, I have not dropped it .....yet...:laugh:

lightest case

what is the lightest case for our n4? i have a nillkin frosted case but it added a significant weight to it. so significant that i strained my pinky that supports the phone when i hold it with one hand. i would go naked but i place my phone on the table often so i want to protect it atleast from scratches at the back glass. thanks

I can say Poetic Borderline.
Rearth Slim or Hybrid.
Definitely Rearth Slim...

This works great. However, in my case it eventually started to peel just enough to about me. So I put my bunker back on also so there's no way to peel at the edges.

Matte Battery Door Replacement

Hi all. I've been searching everywhere for a white matte battery door replacement for the S4 and it's very difficult to find. I found a black one from KHOMO but I feel that it wouldn't look too good on the white S4. If anyone has found one, can you please post a link? Thanks. ?

An alternate method would be to grab a matte back protector (ie. Ghost armor matte). Have it for my original back cover and very satisfied.

Thanks for the tip! Ther Ghost armor matte makes the black phone look really cool! :good:
What do you guys think how long it will take for the OEM faux leather backcover to be available on ebay or other phone parts sellers?
I want one really bad:cyclops:
I just decided to go with an ultra thin matte case. I'm content about my decision ?

I took battery door off and sprayed it with a few light coats of white plasti dip. Matte white is slick. Protects from scratches and when I get tired of it I can peel it off and spray another color.
