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.

Had the same problem with the s3 and original slim cover

can we see pics? Better to know how bad it could get before I cover mine up with a TPU case

[Review] Brushed aluminum cases! *Update*

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=130805607876&index=17&nav=SEARCH&nid=24197188589

I ordered a few of these for my titanium Grey GN2 and they are my favorite cases by far! They are brushed aluminum with metallic plastic sides. The inside is lined with a felt material. I have the light blue, silver, and black one as well as pink that I bought for my girlfriend. They make my phone look very sleek and expensive compared to any tpu cases I have!

Do they interfere with phone signal and/or nfc?

I haven't had the chance to test NFC but my phone signal doesn't seem to be affected at all.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium

Can you check if GPS signal is affected?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium

Just checked my GPS using the navigation app and it locks on and works perfectly with the case on. The only thing that doesn't seem to work is NFC. I just tried it with my Nexus 7 and it was a no-go until I removed the case. But my phone signal and GPS are working just fine. I don't really use NFC so it's not a deal-breaker for me personally.

I have this case. The build quality is really good. Feels better in the hand than the other plastic case I have (ion guardian). Reception and gps signal is fine. Only compliant I have is it doesn't fully cover the top and bottom of the phone.
Another user posted a video review of this case.

Just to be clear, these cases aren't made from "brushed aluminum", they are plastic with "brushed-aluminum-color" finish....

I have 3 of these and I assure you they are mainly brushed aluminum with metallic plastic around the sides and camera area. It is very easy to tell when examining them. You can tell by the edging where it is cut. It also has felt lining inside to prevent scratching against the aluminum

I really like the black one but the silver one is my favorite. I use that one the most

Do you still see the little nib on the screen on the corner where the problem is?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

Yh the nib doesn't show up in the corners and when writing I have to press twice as hard in the corner for it to register. Everything works fine with the bumper off.

Gelaskins?

Has anybody bought a gelaskin skin for the note II if so how is the quality and is front piece a screen protecor too? http://www.gelaskins.com/
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

I used Gelaskins on my Galaxy Nexus and I was very happy with it. It came with the front piece but I didnt use it. It just borders the screen. So it's not a true screen protector.
The Gnex has a textured back and it stuck to it perfectly for several months. So I am sure you would not have any issues on the Note 2

As I stated in the thread I started about screen protectors. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447683I can only comment on there screen protectors. I dont care for them because they are a wet application and they have a rubbery feel to them I think. And from what I had on my Rezound you could tell it really took away from the clarity of the screen. I do like the fact that they cut out the holes for the camera and sensors though. Instead of just notching it out from the left side of the camera to the right side of the ear speaker.
