With some sort of scratch-proof magic coating. Maybe we should just ask specifically for a titanium cover.

I'd like a backcover with a proper clear class for the camera, so the pictures won't come out all hazy and greyish as they do now..
As for colors:

Anyone know where we can purchase an original black/brown one? I dropped my phone on the pavement and now it has a nice scratch on the corner...I had literally just put it in a leatherette case not 10 minutes before so I guess I was lucky....

But mine don't have the LG logo at the buttom, and it's like something looks wrong at the camera glass.

I removed almost all of it and applied duct tape in the interior so that the camera wouldn't be filled with dust...

Just mask the middle up give it a light sand and paint any colour you want, just put plenty laqure on so it doesn't scratch easy.
Then custom colour it any way you want

My local LG just drop me a voice mail during holiday, it will cost US$11 for a replacement which I can pick up from LG service centre.

Plastic has come off!

The piece of plastic that covers the usb port has come off! I don't know what to-do? I still have it and was going to super glue it back on, but was wondering if I should use a different adhesive? I can upload a picture if it helps.

C5303 'aluminum' frame damage (coating)

Today I dropped my phone for the first time
The so called aluminum frame was instantly damaged and to my surprise it was paint that chipped off.
Underneath there is just a hard kind of plastic.
I looked all over the place for a replacement frame but can't find any.
Anyone else with this problem?

First of all, greetings to everyone on this forum, this is my first post here.
I have a black Xperia SP (C5303), and have the same problem. Mine dropped on the street from my hand and although was in his leather casing, somehow dropped on the only side without protection. Was very suprised when I saw that 'alumium' frame was very damaged (damage looks like on your phone) from dropping only 1+ m of height inside of a protection case. The good news is that nothing else was damaged.
The phone is great for my needs, but I'm still not convinced with quality of aluminium frame. Probably this is the price of his weight. Before had Samsung Galaxy S Advance and dropped him accidently only once but without even a scratch.
I was very upset with the damage, but because of its black color it is not as visible as on your white model, so for now I won't be searching for a replacement frame... Hopefully won't be dropping him too much.
Greetings.

Yep it happens, even when I am charging, when the charger scratches the coat on the port, the paint will be chipped off.
Luckily I bought a black one, and the problem is not so bad and visible.

I recommend using a good soft case like the one below.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Matte-TPU-S...DA_Cases&var=490159410395&hash=item2c6ffb4d1c

Same problem in my Spanish SP... Shouldn't this be solved by Sony? aluminium frame is not made of aluminum, isn´t it?

I have also the same problem on my SP. is it normal?? Sony has to replace our frame with a better one.

I'm very disappointed with this ****ty paintjob, my hpone is barely 1 month old and it already got chipped paint on a several spots on the frame. I thought the frame was aluminium because every review I've read said so.... even if it wasn't aluminium, the paint shouldn't have come off so easily. i read sony used water-based paint, maybe that's why.

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 .

Compatible parts
Hi, can someone help me? I buyed a digitaliser on ebay and I have replaced this fine, but the touch is very bad, very unresponsive, glove mode doesn,t work now and multitouch ******
The seller gave me the money back
Now I want to buy an ORIGINAL PART FROM SONY, not compatible parts. Where I can go to buy this?
Please help me! Now I have installed the broken glass because it works fine. I prefer the broken glass to a clean glass but unresponsive.

The Sony digitaliser contains both active and passive capacitors that's why it can have glove mode and mutitouch perhaps the digitaliser you bought only contained passive capacitors. That's the normal ones. Try a more expensive one. Also those problems could be caused by a bad connection try cleaning the connections with contact cleaner. If you want to be sure its a Sony part you may have to go to a Sony centre.

If its marked as an OEM part then it should be made by the same manufacturer as the original part so that would be your best bet. Unfortunately online it hard to be sure.

On my broken screen it says the same but "40" / "48" (i,m not sure because it,s installed yet) instead of "8" Can be a part of the region code?
The digitiser of the models C5302 / C5303 / C5306 / M35h are the same?
Thanks bro, this thread will help more people in the future
EDIT: On my original broken screen it says "44" xD

The xperia SP range are all identical hardware the difference is the radio baseband ie the frequencies they are capable of receiving. The C5302= 3g version C5303= global LTE/4G version and the C5306= american LTE version I would just buy an OEM digitaliser and fit that

On the picture is not appreciated but you can see how obviously the white is not the same in both, The original have a brilliant white and the fake have darker white.
When you give touches at the original cristal it feels sturdy but on the fake cristal sounds cheap
