Does anyone have any problems with loss of paint on the earpiece on the Black Onyx model after several days in pockets?
I haven't experienced this yet
Anyone with something like this?
I have it. Black paint scratches of easily..
I also have this problem too..Dont know how to fix the paint normally or replace the earpiece..
Anyone could give me some tips ti fix my painting on earpiece ?
Same problem. In my s7 edge (3 weeks of use) and in my samsung a3 2016 model (1 week of use). Both of them have the same earpiece. Im extremely carefully with them and paint is peeling off. I dont know what to do. Maybe using modeling paint....
Had this problem on a different phone used permanent black marker
I had this too...
Though I used it naked all the time with lots of putting and pulling out of jeans pocket

It's easier if you put the jeans on first

Very usefull remark, mister smartie pants!
So, today while I was walking home I felt my watch loose in my jacket sleeve, and when I looked, the part of the bezel that holds the watch strap was broken. As I hadn't hit it on anything or put any strain on it, I'm honestly super confused as to how that happened, and I'm very disappointed. I talked to Samsung, and currently their "out of warranty" repair service is not active, and apparently my watch is out of warranty. As I received this as a gift nine months ago, I can't really say where it came from initially so I can't say as to whether it should be in warranty or not. So, I feel like my best bet is to buy parts and fix it myself.
My question them is, if I purchased a metal bezel for a Gear 2, does anyone know if it would fit well on the Neo? I'd rather replace it with metal so this doesn't happen again. I realize the regular Gear 2 has a camera, whereas the Neo just has an IR sensor there, but I feel like I could make it fit. If it can't be done and someone knows that though, I obviously would not like to waste my time and money on it.
If anyone has any insight into this, I'd be very appreciative!
Okay, well shockingly I found a metal frame for really cheap from the next major city over from me so... I guess I'll give it a try. I'll post my results.
So, the new front chassis came in and unfortunately, as feared, the Neo and the regular Gear 2 are not quite as compatible as I thought.
The biggest issue is that the back isn't quite the same shape, which is weird because visually it's near impossible to see a difference, but it's there, and it prevents the back from fully closing. However, I plan to resolve this with a back for the full Gear 2 I ordered for cheap.
The second biggest issue is that the metal is designed to isolate the camera from the motherboard. This means there is a physical metal barrier which gets in the way of the IR LED. On top of this, it appears there are slits molded into the screw-posts for the board to slide into on the Neo, but these are absent from the full Gear 2. I plan to resolve both of these issue, very very carefully, with a dremel. I do not want to compromise the structural integrity of the screw posts.
The last issue I didn't confirm, but appears to exist is that the screen area on the full Gear 2 is slightly taller than on the Neo it seems. I had suspected this actually, and I think that would explain why my screen protectors were slightly too big. I plan to resolve this with a new screen for the full size Gear 2, which was also relatively cheap, but more than I wanted to spend on this project. I feel like you could get away with not doing this if you don't mind a tiny gap. But I want to make sure it's as perfect as it can be.
I'll update again once everything comes in.
Update: You can in fact put a Gear 2 Neo inside of a Gear 2 body, if you are so determined. Things that are different about the two include not just the metal main chassis, but also the back, the screen and the charging cradle. (As well as the main board.) So, if you want to do this, you'll need to get a new back as well, which I got cheap from ebay, and I'd recommend getting a new screen too. Theoretically the Neo one will fit, but there will probably be a noticeable gap. I have a Gear 2 cradle on order, for the time being I'm using the Neo charger, which is slightly wider, and holding it on with a rubber band.
The determination part: The main board will not fit into the metal case without modification to the case. (I wouldn't modify the board.) There's a metal divider to keep the IR LED from interfering with the camera, but since the Neo doesn't have a camera, and has the IR LED centered, this means you can't put the board in. This metal divider needs to be removed. Also, the Neo board goes around the screw posts a little bit in a way that is blocked by the metal. So, the trick is to remove the metal around the screw posts to allow the board to fit without compromising the structural integrity of it and without damaging the screw posts themselves. I did not need to make any slits in the screw posts though as I thought might be necessary. Which is good, because I feel a lot safer without doing that. I accomplished the necessary modifications with a Dremel, various tips, and a lot of care with a stead hand.
The end result looks really nice, and I do not anticipate having the same issue the plastic case had. I'm very satisfied, but it isn't the easiest thing to do. But if you are so determined, yes, it can and has now been done.
Hi,
So i bought a used Note pro and is rly nice but it has a damaged back Cover and bezel (the silver lining around the tablet ). I know from taking it apart that you can just swap out the hole thing. Problem is i can only find the black backcover but not the bezel. Maybe someone here has a hint where to get what i need?
EDIT: Just watched a video. It seems the pro is built differently than the 10.1 2014. They glued the screen to the bezel. That makes it near to impossible to just change the bezel. I'll have to live with a broken bezel then....

Some little superficial damage even on my used p-905. Though I paid 220 € with shipment, not disappointed. I was asking myself the same question about the bezel: thank you for saving my time! If you have like tiny scratches on the screen too consider applying official Samsung screen protector, it's perfectly trimmed and high quality (it hides moderate screen damages perfectly) and doesn't alter the feeling when drawing with pen which for me is a total must.
I noticed just recently what look like horizontal scratches at the bottom of the back glass. I can't feel the scratches and they actually appear to be on the inside. It's like something had scratched the paint from within the inside. I always keep my S8+ in the Spigen case apart from taking it out of the case to use it in the Gear VR. The case completely hides these scratches and I only noticed it when taking it off the Gear VR. Has anyone else had this happen to them? I just can't figure out what could have caused these and hope that the water resistance is not compromised in some way as a result of this.
Maybe the Gear VR caused it while taking in and out?

That's my only guess so far although I didn't think there was that much force getting applied. The only other thing I can think of is that I was sitting in a theater recently and the phone was in my pocket pressed against the cup holder.
Like many owners, I own a Gear S3 with a (mildly) loose bezel. I returned a Best Buy Bluetooth version Classic for a Verizon LTE Classic, both purchased late September 2017, both with loose bezels (so there is no 2nd batch which "fixed" this "issue"). Some display models seem loose, others firm and tight.
My questions are: 1.) How is this bezel going to hold up over time? If it seems loose now, it seems as if it will only get worse and eventually pop off. Is it designed to be this loose? 2.) Inside the bezel is a (very) thin plastic ring (gasket). Does this gasket serve the purpose of dust/water resistance, or is this gasket what is keeping the bezel attached to the front case? Either way, it doesn't seem like it would be great at either. If it's the sole reason the bezel clicks on, it seems like it would wear out quickly...it could also explain why most of the bezels are wobbly.
Thank you, in advance, for your responses!
