Hi all,
I've noticed a small scuff on my PDA that has cut though the silver paint to bare plastic.
Does anybody have any suggestions on a repair??
I guess using silver car bumper paint is a possibility, or maybe the pen type touch up paints you can get from Halfords (UK).
Cheers
John

Capdase review
Bought this Capdase few months back for Rs.60/- I had bought the matte finish. And yes! The capdase logo wears out very soon & major drawback of this case is after few days it catches dust near the edges of the phone. My phone fell a few times around 4 feet height. Unfortunately nothing happened. Recommended.

the case isn't that much of a looker but ya it gives good protection
i just use my i9003 without cover now as the case makes it look fat
I have had a Gear 2 for a few weeks. I did not get a screen protector for it. I figured I'd see how that Gorilla Glass fares. Well, I now have very visible scratches on the glass on my Gear 2. I can live with it. But at the my current rate of scratch accumulation, I might get to a point where they'd start annoying me. Is the glass easily replaceable?
I just got a nice scratch in mine as well. Not happy with that. All the screen protectors I tried just get caught in something and then peel off. Sucks. Wish there was tempered glass for it

I currently have a ZAGG Invisibleshield on my gear 2 neo and haven't had a problem with anything yet besides it having the orange peel look on it. I work in a cemetery so it does get banged around here and there. ZAGG also warranties there product if you have any problem with it they'll send you another one.
link it plzz to purchase it

It's really hard to scratch the Gear 2 glass IMO. If you are in the kind of job that will be a hazard to the Glass on the Gear 2, I'd leave it in a safe place and put it on when safe or going out. We won't treat a Rolex the same way, so why the Gear 2.
I ordered the Skinomi full body protection from the US..... but hasn't arrived as yet even though we are next door in Canada....It's now 8 days and no delivery. I can see from the USPS Tracking number that it has left the factory, possibly left the US for Canada...so it's somewhere in Canada.
Postage from Skinomi sucks IMO....but looking forward to try the product so that I don't scratch my Gear 2.
I'm wearing it everyday and some nights to sleep so that it can track my sleeping pattern... no scratches as yet.
I put Scotch Tape over the band Clasp as that was developing hairline scratches. It has stopped due to the Scotch Tape.
I have a Skinomi skin on my waych and its fantastic. It even hides the scratches somehow. You get 6 cover in the pack and I've had one on now for 4 months and its still perfect after a few bumps and bangs. I work in the Police so it does get quite a few knocks.

Received my Skinomi full body armour last week. I stuck on a few pieces then decided to take it off. My Gear 2 ln my opinion looks awesome the way it is.
I did however, put on the clear screen over the glass. This works fine and looks ok.
I will continue to put Scotch Tape over the watchband Clasp as necessary. Works fine.
Spigen
3 for about £9 i bought mine direct.
In short i made the usual mess installing mine, finger prints, bubbles, total disaster and slightly misalignment.
Anyway I smoothed out what i could and as per the instructions left it.
After about 2 days a near PERFECT application, so aside from being a very minor misalignment - its the best screen protector i have tried.
There have been a lot of threads and post about SPIGEN cases in particular scratching the metal frame of the N4.
What cases do NOT do this?
Thanks in advance
I'm using a Spigen Slim Armor for a week so far and no scratches on the frame. Don't see how it would either as only the soft inner tpu liner makes contact with it.
None, because it's not the case but the polished aluminum lip of the Note 4 that's the problem. Unless you live in a hermetically sealed environment, it'll probably end up scratched.
A few people have reported scratches with the Spigen cases but it'll happen with an otterbox, an UAG, a hardshell or a TPU case. For every person who doesn't have scratches, there will one someone who has scratches from using the same case.
Hey, perfect protection. I had S4 with S-View cover with Qi charging and it was fantastic. None scratches and wireless charging is awesome. I bought Note 4 (SM-N910F) Black with Samsung EP-VN910I Black. Fantastic

I'm also beginning to think that it's not the case but small bits of dirt being trapped between the case and frame that might be the real issue.
On some cases it's the material and on others it's particles. Either way, the aluminum is going to get marked up. Just can't worry about it....
I wish Samsung would have just stuck to plastic instead of trying to make it feel premium. Since I always put a case on my phone, I never see or touch the outside of the naked phone and would not have to worry about the metal frame. The all plastic phone was fine with me.
just put a piece of scotch tape over the metal frame before installing the case

Kapton tape would work better. The adhesive is silicone based, so it will rub off easier.
Thanks for all the responses.

I think I'm doing the same. Picked up a leather pouch from Amazon (bear motion) for 10 bucks when I need it.
I have my phone in a Ringke case since the moment I took it out of the box. My boyfriend doesn't use a case at all. Yesterday I took my phone out of the case to see how the metal rim is holding up in comparison to his, which is all scratched up. They are both just as damaged! Bottom line: it's not the cases, it will happen regardless. It appears to be so sensitive that the slightest speck of dust creeping in a case, or in a pocket, or bag, ruins it.

That tape is cheap on eBay; plenty $1 links for 5mm x 100 feet , but lead time is about 2 weeks; slow boat from China.
So far, I've only scratched the edges near the USB port (minor). Odd how the cases don't offer more protection around the ports. Should have just left the shipping tape on until this arrived. I've dropped a lot of phone's but haven't cracked a screen and don't want to start doing that so I'll try the generous application of the tape and hope it sticks well with swapping the case a lot because it looks like I'll be using a soft case for home and my Verus Thor for outings.
Thanks for the suggestion.
My Note 4 is 4 days old and I have removed one of my spigen cases a few times. The metal frame has got a few nicks. My iPhone 5s, which I babied, has tons of nicks and scratches. Though not completely visible unless you look for them. With these aluminum/metal phones this is normal.
I feel like the first scratch/nick on your phone is like the first scratch/dent on your new car. The first one is always the one that eats away at you the most and even if it's invisible to everyone else, you can pinpoint the exact location of the damage. I'm kind of surprised that there hasn't been a conclusive way to restore the chamfered edges yet though.
I haven't noticed it being sensitive. Mine has been naked since day 1. Owned it for a month or so and even have been bold and put it in the cup holder when driving. Not a single scratch *knock on wood*. I am looking into vinyls though, that's my current new trend. Started with my old m8, now gonna skin the note.
The Otterbox Defender and Commuter Series cases do not scratch the frame. I was very skeptical with the Defender Series, but was surprised by the results.

I'm not saying that any of our phones are deeply scratched either, but there is no doubt that the coating is not durable, as reported by many users.

Do you think a Defender case and a tempered glass screen protector could go together? I'm considering Otterbox but only if I can use my own screen protector.

Hi guys,
Have any of you found any stainless steel straps that fit on the S3 that has "curved ends" to fill the gap? I just tried a Seiko watch strap with curved ends and it does not fit/match well at all.
Thanks!
verkion
I have this strap from Aliexpress.
http://s.aliexpress.com/f6bANNbI
Cost $16.59 and took about 3 weeks to arrive
I was considering this one but it appears the fitment isn't very good. I guess no one else has made one that fits yet.
Thanks!
verkion
Correct. There is still a gap, but I think it's better than on curved straps.
I did buy another curved strap, rubber not SS. The fitment to the watch is better but there is a gap between the watch and my wrist.
