I found out that nexus s battery cover will scratch easily even I didn't put my phone on the table.
I don't silicon casing that will make my phone thick. Here is how I protect my phone.

Stick a layer of plastic on it.
Ya, red looks ugly, will change to white or black colour soon.

That's what I did too, except mine is a transparent film from BestSkinsEver
what kind of plastic is that? and how did you do it?
Normal transparent coloured plastics. Just a side with gum and a a side is smooth.
Use powerful hair drier to heat the red plastic and stick it... you can spray water onit to bubbles-proof. In this case, my dad didn't use water.

I think Zagg.com had a scratch protector for the back cover.

Skintomi has a skin but they're full body and $20. I just want the one for the back cover as I'm looking to go with an aluminum bumper case and I'm not a fan of the shiny back side.
Full body from zagg is frosty but still semi transparent. It gives texture fill and phone is not do slippery.

would prefer something non transparent. but i'll check out zagg. are they still making their on screen display protectors with that orange peel look and tacky feel?
After only 5 days there is slightly "orange peel" look. About "tackiness" I prefer it's feel with stylus, it is more like real paper.

Link?
I'm intrigued now
.... I have to return some videotapes....
Why not just buy replacement back covers from ebay? Most of them have the brushed steel look and in different colors.
I had a gelaskin on my Gnex. Thy have some great designs but you can also use your own image. Might also be an option although an expensive one.
.... I have to return some videotapes....
You could buy 3M vinyl wrap? I used it for covering my Samsung tpu case since I hated getting finger prints on shiny back. One I used has steel brush effect and came out pretty nice.
3M 1080 BRUSHED BLACK METALLIC VINYL CAR WRAP - 12" x 60" (1ftx5ft)
That's the one I purchased for $10 and that's enough to cover your device lifetime for fraction of cost!

Are there any recommendations for removing the scratches, or polishing them off? I have a tube of Displex that I bought for my PSP screen. Would this work for the camera lens cover on the phone?

Camera lens cover is made of some hard plastic material so probably best not to use any polish on it unless it is a plastic polish.

Displex appears to be some kind of plastic polish. I suppose this would suffice?

I made some lens protectors out of a screen protector....you can always do that so you don't add to the scratches.

Yeah I may end up doing that as soon as I polish off those scratches.

Here is a set - screen+lens protector
I wish they just sold replacement lenses. That's the only thing I miss about the old phones. The cover was build into the battery back

Does cutting a screen protector for lens cover not effect camera quality?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
maybe a little.
But not something noticeable for me
Did polishing work?

I am wondering if you polished the lens cover and if it was successful at removing the scratches. I have a few surface scratches on my HOX+ lens cover, and polishing seems like a reasonable solution. Thanks for any feedback.

This is the only reason I got a cover. When laying the phone flat on its back I felt I kept scratching the lens so now it has a bit more of distance between lens and table.

+1 for me. the lens of my One is always in contact with the surface it's laying on. Had the first scratches on the lens within an hour.
Just got this in from Amazon. Fits perfect with the tech 21 case. Sorry for the horrible pic of the phone my daughter took it.

Did you get HD or the anti glare? I'll see how this HD holds up with scratches. I had the anti glare from ghost armor on my S2 and loved it.

Nice, I just ordered the pure oleophobic yesterday. Glad you're happy with it

Does it cover edge to edge?
I can't open the pictures for some reason.
Also, does it really feel like glass? What's the texture like?

The screen protector is very thick and feels just like it's not even on there. It does not cover edge to edge, has plenty of room for a case. I to recommend this screen protector.

Just got mine in today, ordered on Wednesday.
I'm surprised that it came with 3 instead of the 2 that's advertised.
I also like that it doesn't cover the front sensors
I'll see if I have enough time to put one on today. Hopefully it fits with the diztronic.

How does this protector feel? Does it feel plasticy or more like glass?
I'm curious to know as well
Okay so I just put this on my phone.
I'm hating how LG design the curved edges of the screen right now.
I have the oleophobic ones and they are cut out correctly for the phone, but **** man. You have to be a surgeon to not have any bubbling edges, and that's due to the curved edges of the screen.
I managed to get mine in with only a bit of the top bubbling up, but it doesn't worry me as my hopefully prevents it from coming up.
The Diztronic fits good with the screen protector and doesn't post the edges up.
It feels a bit sticky, but that is something common for the first few days. I'll report back after I get the stickiness off the protector
Clarity is great, screen looks pretty much the same as before.
My only gripe with the screen protector is that there's a bubble that isn't any dust that is on the bottom right of the screen. I'm hoping it goes away after some use and settling.
Edit: I forgot to mention that it doesn't cover any sensors, so there's not problem with knock on/off.
Also, after some use the stickiness is already coming off and it now feels much smoother.

So far the feel is in between glass and plastic. It feels much better than plain plastic, but sometimes gets the squeakiness of plastic when your finger is sliding around

Just got mine in today. I can now swype with a clean screen! The bare glass is a bit sticky for swyping but this screen protector is great.
After a day I take back the stickyness. Its very close to bare glass. After a little greasing up she's slick but after a good cleaning its hard to swype because the finger sticks.
I'll be sticking with it for sure though because it fits very good with my DualPro and TPU case. No it doesn't cover the curved edges but I think my case would peel back a screen protector like that.
I really love the feeling of the G2s screen and hate putting on a screen protector but this one is as close as I'll get to that silky feeling I think.
how is the protector holding up ?
i was about to order the pure crystal one
Mines holding up fine(oleophobic) I also have a case so that helps

Good to hear. Im waiting on the oleophobic as well.
On the corners i can see the paint peeling off. Is their something I can do to fix this issue? I wanna try plastic dip. But did it on my friends s4 and it peels off easy

A black marker will do just fine I reckon.
I plan on doing this. I'll start out with a wet sandpaper 800 then move on to 2k dry. Any thoughts?
Have you considered just using extra-fine steel wool (0000) or a Scotch-Brite pad?
Yes I considered the first option, but I haven't seen the results of it. Have you tried using it before?
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app
I've used scotch brite pads before on plastic. Seemed to be a lot less work than wet sanding.
