Removing scratches from the chrome? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys
Is there anyway of removing the scratches from the chrome? They seem to of come from putting the note in the dock with the flip case on!

I guess you can try to polish it? Haven't tried it myself so don't know if it'll work though.

Well since I think it is just chrome plated plastic, I doubt you can get them out.

A new housing on Ebay is 32 dollars. Very easy to take Samsung note housing apart.

Sorry if I'm off-topic, but when you put your Note in the dock with the flipcase on, is there any strain on the usb port?
I wanted to buy a dock and was tempted to use it like that, but the guy at the shop insisted that it's dangerous and could damage the mini-usb port on the phone. Is that true?

Don't think there's any strain just it doesn't go in as easy as it should....

I don't think you can remove the scratch. My sgs2 has few scratches. The chrome is actually just plastic with chrome paint/coating.

will the samsung flip case from the note 1 fit note 2?

anyone know if this is goign to fit? amazon currnetly have the samsung flip covers for under £5, (orange and brown) so could be good?
No, it won't fit. The official flip cases replace your back cover, and the Note 2 is a different size to the Note 1.
Different size dude!!

guys, guys, guys, my question was answered in the first response, all the humorous replies were wasted, as i do not have a humorous bone in my body.
and i didnt own a note 1 - so the reference to my underwear fitting from 10 years ago...?? surely would have been better asking if your own underwear from 10 years ago would fit me now?
Lol..haha..u made my day..haha

I seen them in black and white tonight listed on eBay. They look very similar to the original Samsung flip covers. I'm not sure about the quality though. They look good in the supplied pics, but you just never know.

Otterbox defender screen protector!

We all know it's defective, I removed, I put my own, but now the case is a little too flexible? Anybody have a fix for this? And when revision 2 ever comes out, will we get a chance to exchange ours?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
Where the protector was actually glued to the plastic top housing piece, use a thin strip of foam tape (preferably 3m) all the way around about a 1/10th of an inch from the edge. The foam will sit between the top piece of the case and your phone.
Basically you are replacing the thickness of the glue + screen protector that helped keep the case nice and tight. It also helps to keep dust out of the case.
Even if the foam tape is 1/4 of a inch thick, it has a lot of give when pressed.
Thanks for help, appreciate it!

What is the cutting down the button nonsense? Mine works fine.
The screen protector works no differently than they did before or than that on the lifeproof...not getting all of the complaints. ..if one chooses to remove it so be it.. not really validation for the complaint imo

some users report the button sticking and to fix it you can cut down the material, probably isnt a problem with everyone.
My power button was fine. I just didn't like the gap between the screen protector. Felt weird. I had the phantom case for the s3 and it didn't have that. But we all can't get what we want.

I wouldn't remove the screen protector on the Otterbox Defender, although the pressure sensitivity of the S-pen is highly questionable.

Verizon Housing

Does anyone have a link for replacement housing for the VZW Note 2? My housing creaks on the side and back and I would like to replace it.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
Subscribed. I would be interested in this as well.
Won't any note 2 housing work? Be careful when taking it apart. I would just buy the back cover first and see if it fixes the creaking before taking it apart.
Sent from my SCH-I605
I have removed the battery cover and it still creaks. I thought there was a difference between the housings but I could be mistaken.

The battery cover is part of the whole thing. Removing it won't make a difference. If you keep it in its more rigid and less likely to creak.

I would go with an att housing so you can take advantage of wireless charging.
iirc that housing has the cut outs for that feature whereas the vzw housing does not.
as for doing the swap, explore YT on how to vids.
Be careful when ordering your new housing. As this guy found out the hard way they are different depending on carrier.

I bought it from ebay. I can't find the seller, below is a link to another one, I paid the same amount.
I did test it out, it did not scratch my phone, even with the screen protector on.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-ALUMI...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item460a86cfde
I also had a similar but cheaper bumper before, that one does not have the cut out for the power button and volume rocker, it's also thicker in size. No problem with that one either.

I am not sure since this one is thinner, but I can check it out later when I go home.
I don't really care about that because I used aftermarket backs with the bumper. These backs are usually a little thicker so they protect the lens even if you set it flat.
I live near DC.

ok, so i have misplaced one of the little decorative cards that comes with the UAG case, and the screen protector (which was lame anyway) is no longer usable. Do you still wish to swap cases with me? PM me your address if you do.

P880 - [Flip Cover] - with pics!

Hello p880 users,
This is my girlfriends phone, and she wanted a samsung-like flip cover, so I found and bought this (I looked everywhere, couldnt find it in ebay):
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hot-Selling-Retailing-Unltra-Thin-Slim-Side-Back-Battery-Flip-cover-PU-Leather-Housing-case-for/1220467926.html
The case actually feels good in hand and there's a black version too.
The back cover doesnt have NFC, and the back side plastic texture feels cheaper then the original (LG logo is painted instead of a metal plate). The back cover is also a little bit thicker - 2mm maybe. The front flip feels really good and closes well.
I didnt find any pictures laying around the web, so I thought leaving these here.
By the way, aliexpress turned out to be a good experience, and everything went smooth.

Dont use Nillkin, I've used them before. Yes, they look decent and feel great but after about 1 week, the edge start to loose... around 1 month, the skin will peel off....
Currently, I'm using a leather wallet case around 6GBP, It's much better.
nice case but i prefer vertical flap , not horizontal .
