Is there any safe product that won't destroy the phone, but can be used to drop a couple of drops where the broken corner glass is to prevent the glass from further breaking and seal the phone. I was thinking paint, but are those toxics going to maybe eat the plastic under the rear glass and possibly damage seals and other things if the fumes enter the phone. There has to be a way to apply something, and it down and polish it to show minimal damage if there is no way to replace the rear glass.
Just before I had the chance to get a case, I dropped it. From reaching out my pocket it slips. My attempt to catch it slowed it down, but I'm shocked how weak, let me repeat, WEAK AS FUUUUK pixel 2 is. Every spot it touched, looks like it got dropped on. Because it hit the back and then flipped like a fish onto the screen which caused scratches on screen and frame.
The damage is:
11 screen scratches.
View from the front shows upper right scratch and lower right.
From back upper left. Right side is cracked and crack line runs across to camera side.

Anyone? Just need something that's going to harden but that it won't have fumes going inside the phone breaking apart internal glue and other seals.

Did you check how much it'll cost to fix it? And without pictures it's hard to make any suggestions

I saw there is a replacement glass available recently. I'd still rather try to fix the small crack. Just a drop or two of something that will bond to the crack seems the way to go. Easy to do, keep the phones water resistance.

Any remedy for paint chip repair kit on the Trinity casing?
Mine is chip at the reset hole at the bottom of the unit.
Mine was looking pretty rough. Being generally of the voided warranty persuasion I decided to fix it myself.
Under the paint is a *thin* layer of metallization. Under the metallization is dark brown plastic.
First, I took the phone apart.
Next, I wet sanded the paint and metallization off with 800 grit wet/dry sandpaper.
Following that I rubbed the case down with ultrafine automotive buffing compound.
Then I used an ultrasonic cleaner to remove the buffing compound residue.
Finally reassemble and viola!
No paint = no chips!

A less invasive approach for those of the warranty appreciative persuasion would be to take a pencil eraser and remove any metallization exposed by chipped paint. It comes off pretty quickly and the base plastic isn't too bad a match for the paint.
Genius!
Please could you explain a step by step process of taking the phone apart without breaking any of those black tabs that i usually break from over stressing part of the casing of such things in the wrong area. Or when you refer to breaking the warranty you are meaning also the "void if removed" sticker over the screw hole... and that once the screws are out it will fall apart quite easily.
Hmmmm. Thinking about the finality of this makes me worried.
My Trinity is looking pretty awful at the moment. Half of one side is peeled off to the silver, with unmovable traces of black which (thanks to your explanation) I now understand is underneath the silver.
Is there any chance you could take a couple more photos in daylight just out of curiosity to see your finish from different angles? Thanks in advance.
Can you also put some more pictures of your unit in this condition???

what i did now is to use a black permanent maker to mask out the slight paint chip area.
i am however very interested to know about CLB's method.
CLB seems to be an artist.
For those of you more "quick fix" type, I advise using Black Nail Polish by H&M (Hennes & Mauritz). This, not because of the quality but the price: 3.90€.
My Trin looks pretty nice for the moment. I do not discard a permanent solution like CLB's in the next future.
It appears to be a very common problem that the black paint on the Captivate's ear-piece has a tendency to scratch off VERY easily.
I am curious as to know how many people actually got fed up with trying to repair this awful blemish; and decided to just scratch all the paint off to make it look better.
Personally I removed the black paint completely and kind of like the silver that remains.
What are your thoughts?
What? I've never heard anyone mention this. My paint is fine.
first I've heard of this, and mine is just fine as well.
The paint literally flaked off of mine just by rubbing my thumb on it.
No issues here, maybe you got a defective model?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
This is bizarre I've never heard of this happening lol
If my model is defective, I don't think they would ever replace it because it's physical damage.
no problem here either,,if they sound good your good to go
No issues for me, trim your ear hairs.............

I actually don't talk on the device very often, I'm more so a texter
Anyway, it was more from putting the phone in and out of my pocket:
Here is a picture I just took:

Mine is fine and i carry it in my pocket with no case. I would think that the piece would be annodized and not painted. Probably got one with a bad grille. If you complain enough they may replace it - hard to say.
In all honesty, it literally started as a small chip in the "paint"; I touched that up with a sharpie.
Next day I had another chip, I rubbed it with my thumb and more came off - at that moment I decided to just rub the rest off and it just flaked away into dust.
Never thought of it....My phone is a tool not a piece of jewelery. Scratches and blemishes don;t bother me. I don;t use a s case and carry it in my pocket with keys and crap. I do use a screen protector though. As far as paint goes...Meh..not worth worrying about of "fixing"
Just dropped my phone on the edge of a glass table from a height if about 1.5 ft. The backing separated a bit (2mm, I just popped it back in) and there now a wee groove right by the headphone connector. Other than cosmetic, there *seems* to be no internal damage. Everything works fine as far as I am able to tell, including using headphones and I hear nothing rattling inside when I shake it. There are these barely audible squeal/ tiny beeps in that area which I can only hear when I put my ear right up to it, but that may be normal?
My question to you good people is, should I be worried that something on the inside may have become loose and cause problems down the lane? Or all is well as long it works okay? How can I check to be sure?

You should be fine, if there doesn't seem to be any internal damage, then you probably have nothing to worry about. Water damage tends to be less predictable, not drops.
As for that dent, maybe you can get a replacement housing.

Thanks, that kinda what I figured too, but now I'm just paranoid that something broke internally or damaged just enough to work itself loose in time. But that hint you gave about drop damage predictability makes sense.
I wish I could make sure.
Any ideas about the cost for LG repair service? I called them earlier and they were super unhelpful.
I should probably just look up a youtube tutorial on how to open the phone and peek inside.
Ok, yeah I should be fine After watching a guy disassemble his phone on youtube, there is nothing in that particular area other than the headphone jack. Looks like the plastic cover and the jack itself absorbed most if not all of the shock.

If you ever experience issues with it, the headphone jack on a nexus 5 is a super easy part to replace, as it's not soldered anywhere. Just clips as I heard from iFixit.
I've given the phone to my Niece to take some photo and video. When she gave me the phone back, I found it cracked at the back. Not sure how it was cracked. I might be due to excessive heat dissipated while the screen stays on for few minutes. What do you think about it? How I can repair it?

Isn't that tempered glass over your Z3?
You will need this part:
http://www.witrigs.com/custom-back-cover-for-sony-xperia-z3-green
I just replaced the front and back of mine as it cracked on my wife accidentally doing something with the kids.
You will need to transfer your stock NFC sticker/chip to the new cover before installation. This company ships quick and is very reliable. If you do not have the suction cup and guitar pics I recommend it, you will need it for installation. As well as a heat gun or hair dryer.
You can see a how to video towards the bottom of the page I linked.
Good luck.

No, there was no tempered glass in the back. Tempered glass protector is in the front side.

That one says Sony on the back so whichever you prefer.
So here goes, I dropped my S7 onto the floor in the toilet....
It hits right at the top left, side metal frame, and then landed face down.
After a second of panic I picked up the phone and felt relieve as the front and back glass did not seem to receive any damage. All I noticed was there was a dent on the metal frame, right on the spot of first impact.

I also noticed something in the upper left part of my front glass:
At first I didn't notice it as I was wearing a screen protector and I thought it was just some bubble under my screen prot...
But today I was changing my screen protector and I realized that it was in fact like some kind of air/liquid trapped under my front glass...
Anyone else experienced this? Any advice on how to remove it? I can live with the dent on the frame, but this bubble is really annoying to look at...
The impact probably unstuck that corner of the screen and allowed air under it, probably not a lot you can do other than replace the screen
And this is why you always use a case
Most likely that is a cracked piece of glass and it has become separated, but still being held in place. Agreed its annoying to see but could have been worse.
