The TPU case leaves marks on the metal coat

I have my SN2 for 10 days and i am using a tpu case from day one..today i found marks on the metal coat . Can i remove these marks?

nope, there will be some small marks, had it on my SGS2, still better than having no case IMO, after 1.5 years the marks didn't increase a bit. Planning to get a case for the Note 2 anytime

What sort of mark is it? A scratch? A dot? Or what?

They are dots but not deep..

Photos please. I like to use TPU, but am wondering what it does to this device.

I have just found a dot on mine too...but it doesn't make sense to me how the tpu can be the cause of it...but I'm pretty sure it wasn't there when I first got the phone

The TPU cases will scratch your phone's outter body, and there is no way to remove it but it will protect your phone.

I haven't had a device with Chrome Trim since my Touch Pro 1. I can see how little bits of dust can get in between the tpu and body of the phone. Some slight rubbing can cause the scratches I suppose. I haven't seen any on my last 3 devices, but then again they were dull/semi gloss black.

But why? There are only dusts between the tpu and the phone , so what is scratching it?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

Dust with include microscopic bits of grit - this is the culprit

I guess ideally you can use one of those clear skins on the body of the phone. Then use the tpu. No scratches anymore.

Anyone find a TPU bumper case without antennae cutout?

Been looking for one...but can only find bumper cases that have the cutout.

Well I've found countless others...but ALL have that stupid cutout. And I definitely don't want an aluminum bumper.
Something like the nexus 4 or iphone bumper
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

I have actually bought 2 aluminium bumpers...but still waiting for them to come from hk. Many members here have said that the aluminium ones are quite alright. So I can't wait to try them on. Not too sure if we will ever get any good tpu bumpers (with no corner cut out)

Figured I'd ask. Anyone here own a 97-03 Pontiac Grand Prix and

found a nice place to mount your 2?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

I drive a 2002 Grand Prix and I use to mount my Note 2 on the left side right above the dash air vent using one of those universal holders that would stick to your windshield. It did'n't obstruct my front view at all. But I didn't really use it that much because it was just to big, clunky, and really ugly. So I just gave it to my girlfriend. I'm currently looking for something more compact, that will clip on to the center vents of the dashboard, and is easily removable to stow away when not in use.
I was looking into something like this. But I'm kind of leaning towards something that will just clip on the vent.

CD mount is not an option as the radio I will be using has no CD slot accessible.

I also bought this one too today to see if I csn get it to suction to inside the cupholder.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

The other option would be to suction cup on top of the dash right above the DIC, hanging downwards but that's too far s reach for me.

I have a 99 GTP I haven't gotten a mount yet but might look for one. My old NS4G fit in the cup holder but no way this behemoth is doing that lol. I tried propping it on the shifter and it just fell. Basically keep it in my pocket or in the cubby hole in front of the shifter.

See I use my Note way too much to keep it stowed away. Plus, it needs to be close so s not to distract my driving....

You could also get any $3 case off ebay, put soft Velcro on the back of the case and then a square of hard velcro anywhere on the dash. I've been doing this for a while and I love it.

Most vehicle plastics are textured. If the bottom of your cupholder is textured this won't work. It needs a flat /smooth surface.

It's flat but not the entire size of the flat surface is available due to the folding design. The one mount does come with a suction platform though.

Ok so one of the 2 mounts I ordered came in today. It's very late and after 13 hours of work, I am too tired to do any pics. But I shoud be getting some hopefully tomorrow.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

Ok so no need for pics on the first one. It will not fit the factory cupholders. Nor will it attach/fit anywhere else except the windshield. So for now, until the floor mount cradle gets here, left side corner of windshield is where my Note will go. Definitely not ideal but it'll do.

So to add to this in a question.
Is there an app to restore distortion from the fisheye lense to flatten the image? Or would that bear be handled on pc?

I don't know sorry
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

I have the Photojojo lens as well, and they work well. I just dont like having the metal rings on my case.
A buddy of mine ordered this for his Note 2: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AV3ZUQA/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Picture quality is the same as the Photojojo as far as I can tell. Main difference (other than cost) is there's no need for the adhesive rings, which I like. The mount can be difficult to secure with some cases, but works well.
