I'm using my white TX naked and found some black spots on the back cover.
I used microfiber cloth and alcohol but the I can't remove the dust / black spots. What's your solution?
Btw, ordered an aluminum back cover from eBay. But nfc will be disabled

So I bought a vertical leather pouch, apparently the offical T-Mobile one. Used my HD7 with it for a few days until my clear coloured argyle silicone case arrived. Went from the leather pouch and to the silicone case every few days and now I've noticed an odd stain/discolouration on the bottom part of the back case!?
I can't tell if it's the black coming off the leather pouch or if it's coming off the silicone case but I'd get it cleaned off! The diamond shapes in the stain make me think it's from the silicone case but it's not black so I'm entirely sure where it's coming from but it's getting worse
Any ideas anyone on how to safely remove this stain without ruining my back cover? I tried soap & water, pencil eraser, magic eraser, lysol wipes.. I'm afraid to go with a harsher chemical.
have you tried rubbing it in circles (medium to hard pressure) using a microfibre cloth (dry)? maybe the phone heat (which is usually on that location) caused some reaction with the plastic case and/or pouch ur using (especially the cases are tight)?
dude im having the same prob and i dont have any case windex seems to work ok for me though

I haven't tried a microfibre cloth. Not sure I have one. Are those the cloths used to clean LCD screens?? Anyway I also tried "Goo Gone" best known for removing the sticky stuff after peeling off tape or stickers but even that had no effect on this damn stain. I tried rubbing it softly with a q-tip and with a harsher cloth.
I haven't tried Windex yet. Maybe my issue is not cleaning right after it stained. But it's almost like this material of the casing is working against me and not easy to clean.
mines starting to do the same thing plus im not using a case
Yup, microfiber cloth used for cleaning the LCD (not the cheap ones that comes with some of the screen protectors). hope the stain problem gets resolved soon!

Wow..
I just tried the microfiber and nothing.. Tried Magic Eraser again and nothing.. Tried Windex on a paper towel and nothing. Scrubbed hard too
This is ridiculous. And it's not like I can buy that piece to replace mine either. I don't care so much about the stain but I know when I sell it down the road the next person will cry about it. And I'd hate to this of having to discount the phone for some annoying stain.
Anyone know if I can buy the 2 piece replacement backing anywhere?? Should I try calling HTC for it maybe?
I have scratches on my phones screen how can I remove it and if I buy a screen protector will it remove the scratches on my screen please help me because its annoying me

The scratches won't go away. You should have installed a screen protector as the sgm doesn't have gorilla glass.

There's already thread about it, you can use toothpaste and microfibre cloth and rub it in circular motion. It works because static receptors are sunked in plastic, so you'really not even touching them, only glass. But if the scratch is too deep, you won't be able to get rid of it completely

Car polish might be too harsh, leaving even more scratches
replace
get replaced with new one
try a bit of "Brasso" the brass polish
I tried one of those stick correctors for car scratches on an iphone once, it might work for you too. I don't know if a foil will fully mask the scratches.

I heard the toothpaste method really works. Try this? Afterwards put a screen protector on it right away!
screen protector only prevent scratches not hide it..
I have a friend with a galaxy s plus and he dropped his phone and now wants to replace the silver line/frame/ring(i don't know what its actually caplled).can IT only be removed or will he need the full front replace
It's very hard to replace i ended up sanding off the silver to leave the grey plastic underneath.
It can be replaced without full front case. You can find a spare one on the net.

hi, i have a question about a back cover of the xperia z1. i bought the white one, but i was thinking that a black back cover would be really nice on my white phone. or the purple one would be nice too.
Now i was thinking to buy a back cover of the z1 in black or purple on ebay for 15-25 euro and then just stick it on the back of my phone. i don't want to open my z1, just stick it on the back. Do you think that would work? The only thing i see as a problem is that the opening of the camera is too narrow. What do you think?
thanks in advance!

There's an adhesive around the edges of the glass so you would see the gap probably, as for the camera you can just pop out of remove the lens on the glass you want to stick on.

is the adhesive thick? Because now that i know that i can remove the lens, i really want to do it right know
also, if i want to take it off, will it be easy? or do i have to use a hairdryer to loosen the adhesive. i am actually scared because then the heat will affect the adhesive on my actual white back glass. Or could i use like a knife to make a hole or sometime to break the vacuum? (just some random thoughts)
No you would need to heat up the adhesive, use a suction cup to pull it off. If you are careful you should be able to reuse the white glass again. Might not be safe for waterproofing reasons but would still stay on. The adhesive isn't very thick but I think you would see it being raised a little but if you put it on top of the white glass.

I've only seen white and gold. Has anyone come across a black glass camera cover? Unfortunately, I got some scratches already on it ?.
