I found out that nexus s battery cover will scratch easily even I didn't put my phone on the table.
I don't silicon casing that will make my phone thick. Here is how I protect my phone.

Stick a layer of plastic on it.
Ya, red looks ugly, will change to white or black colour soon.

That's what I did too, except mine is a transparent film from BestSkinsEver
what kind of plastic is that? and how did you do it?
Normal transparent coloured plastics. Just a side with gum and a a side is smooth.
Use powerful hair drier to heat the red plastic and stick it... you can spray water onit to bubbles-proof. In this case, my dad didn't use water.

I think Zagg.com had a scratch protector for the back cover.
D30 case has more than proved its worth. Dropped from 30 ft onto blacktop. Battery stays in no damage to phone or case. See pics.

How easy/hard are the buttons to press? I have a $5 generic black smoke argyle ebay case on mine. Fits perfectly, buttons are easy to press, perfect grip, no lint collection, and has protected my phone from a handful of non-critical drops. So so far, so good.
I was thinking of trying the D3O case, but I was just worried about stiff button syndrome.
I work in construction as owner. Spend most of my time in unheated workshop and @ 30° I have no stiff buttons. It is molded soft buttons and works flawless. Notice it also has a backplate that is clear plastic that can be scratched but no big deal. Camera lenses is cut out. So much better in grip and also fits leather cases snuggly so it doesn't fall out as easy.

Is that backplate piece optional, or does it not fit flush if you leave it out?

It fits with or without. It comes with the piece. I use it as you can see with the scratches on it.

I plan to gel coat carbon fiber cloth using the clear plastic back piece when I get some without flaws. Stronger and definitely better looking in end but at mercy of local hobby shops and their supply.

TPU is between hard plastic and silicone. It's perfect actually, it's not a hard case, nor is it soft and sticky the way silicone is.

i got one of the mesh cases from ebay china location. was perfect. snaps on. has a rubbery feel and doesnt interfere with the usb or headphone plugs. not the greatest for protection drops.. but allows me to hold the phone in my hand better..

Like the mesh thought on it. Allow for better cooling versus a hard case or the d30

I just use a rubber back on mine: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006ECAMY2/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Works great, feels great. Doesn't slip out of my hands and adds a little thickness. I also figure it doesn't attract to much attention which is good.
I have dropped my phone on cement once or twice as sometimes I get sloppy and it works great on protecting it. LOL!

On T-Mobile.com they have one to.
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.
Is it safe to clean the Nexus 7 screen with a dry microfiber cloth?
Why wouldn't it be? It's safe to touch it with your finger, isn't it?:silly:
as long as your microfiber cloth is clean from any dirt or sand. i got little scratch because when i wipe it, there a small sand with the cloth.
I use my tongue and then wipe it (the tablet) on my jeans. Saves me having to carry a cleaning cloth.
As above, as long as the cloth has no dust or sand on it, it should be fine.

Dry microfiber cloth is fine, just don't use any chemical-based window cleaners or stuff like that.
I usually just soak it under the sink for 10 minutes.

Oh, I can't be bothered with cleaning it. When it gets dirty, I just throw it in the trash and buy a new one. Nothing beats that static when you remove the foil for the first time!

I use sand paper.
Just be sure to use medium sand paper or it won't clean it.
Sandblasting followed by acid bath. Just don't do it too often or you might void your warranty.
Why clean when your going touch it again?
Sorry gents, but i think we have beaten the humor out of this one.........
OP - as noted, yes, it is perfectly safe (and is the recommended way). You can also add lens cleaner to help clean off stubborn spots.
Case closed.
I don't use screen protectors or cases on any of my devices. Wondering if anyone has any scratches on the gear yet?? If so post a pic.

How did it happen? Did the gear hold up better than you thought it would?
Walkin thru a door way ay work. Hit pretty hard. New the moment i hit it i may have scratched it. Its so slight that its not noticable. Actually had a hard time takin picture. Ive dinged it a few other times but thats the only scratch.

Mine is pretty badly scratched too.. :/
I was bending down to pick up a box at the house and I hit my head into my brick around the door very minor scratch. Is held up a lot better then I had expected
Be careful with those screen protectors, especially the wet kind. I took caution when I spayed the screen but after getting the protector on I noticed to my horror that there was condensation under the camera lens! Fortunately it dried over night and everything seems OK. Maybe instead of spraying the screen I should have used a cotton swab or tissue to apply the wet solution?
Lesson learned and I won't be doing that again!

As scary as that may seem, it has been common to get condensation under the camera lens. I haven't seen anyone report a permanent issue from it. The condensation can happen just by walking from a cool, dry environment to a hot and humid environment or if you sweat a lot.

I only sprayed the screen protector and not the screen, i cant even tell it's on the screen, perfect and no condesation.
Best Buy
FYI For $40 Best Buy offers scratch protection insurance
Amazon had several types of screen protectors for the gear just not sure how well they stay on.

Can't show you... tried my best to scratch it but to no avail. Dropped it from 3m (10ft) right onto asphalt with glass first... Only a small mark on the edge not visible only by running a nail on the edge can you feel it.
