[Q and advice request] How to clean up my white gear? - Samsung Galaxy Gear

Guys my rose gold - white gear getting dirty. White is darken, Grey spots via dust maybe my shirts fabric color etc. Idk.. Its very dirty and darken white now..
How can i clean and whiten that? Ps: Water, soap, dishes soap, dont work..

I have exactly the same issue. I'm not sure it is dirt and fear it may be a reaction to the UV light as noting will shift it and one strap (the one with camera) is significantly more discolour than the other, which happens to be the side that faces out more. I have contacted Samsung and its going in tomorrow, I'm expecting that they'll replace the strap as it is almost a disgrace to wear now after only about 6 weeks. I can let you know how that goes if its useful? My main worry is they'll replace it and it just happens again

Try chlorox cleanup wipes

Yes paul if Sammy replace it new one, probably it will happen again..
There is not chlorox any store in my country motive.
I wonder pure alcohol does damage to gear's strap

can you post pictures of the 'dirt'?

It looks so much better on photos (maybe because of yellow lamp).. Reality is worse.

Baby wipes or Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. No first hand experience but those should work.

I dont think it easily replaceable.. Because its circuit lines inside (for camera lens, mic etc.) In my opinion best choice was m.grey

Just use chlorine bleach spray?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium HD app

I afraid to damage rubber band with chlorine but i'll give it a little try.. At least first on the back side of the strapband
Sent from my SM-N9000Q using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Note quite the same maybe, and bad news, but I had the White Ice Nike Fuel band and ended up trading it in for a Black Ice model, due to "dirt" and discoloration. Since I am in business, I opted for the black on black Gear, but I did get the white Note 3, since you can replace the back cover easily if it was to happen to that. Good luck sir with a fix.

It should be fine with chlorine.

What a shame, I was about to buy one white Gear while I stomped up with this thread.
I have a white Note 3 too to match. Should I still buy the white gear? What do you think?
Thanks

This case must be hard to find. I had a 3 week old one i sold on ebay last week and it went for $41....the case was only $38 in stores. Its a really nice case. Feels really good in the hand. Some people complain about the kickstand but i like it. Heres a thread i started with some pics http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014892

Only one way to find out
Not there yet. I've been looking and emailed case mate they said just keep looking. looking thanks
my 2 cents
Hi all,
Just wanted to chime in on this case. The protection is great and the side grips make the feel more solid as opposed to slippery. The extended rubber on the face helps when it is facedown or when it potentially drops so it's not flush against the floor/table. My only beef is that the kickstand rubber part has come loose so i'm not sure how durable that part is, it's not that much of a hassle as I can still manage to prop it up but I'm afraid it will eventually break off.
Most complaints are about the difficulty of getting the kickstand out
P.S. all ports are accessible i.e. stylus, charger, headphones, camera, speaker
Raised power & volume up/down buttons
Whats the matter with case makers these days? Release the case with just 2 colors, one is black the other is white with pink. Its exactly like body glove diamond series... ffs have they ever thought men uses with white case too? Why pink?? Could just use red and that would plays with well with both genders...
Nice looking case but have always had the rubber part warp on every case I had. Evo 4g, evo 3d, and the skyrocket. I ended up using the speck case for my note 2. Even if anything happens to it I can exchange it for free at the att store.

Zombo ultra thin case

Has anyone purchased the Zomgo ultra thin metal case and have any opinions on it?
It looks like the hunter f case but it seems like it's thinner and has more rounded edges.

I just got that Case Today and l got to say this one is great. I got the dark blue one but there's a selection of colors. It also has this silver cover for the head of the stylus, and integrated buttons which line up perfectly with the actual buttons on the phone. Love it !

Do you notice any decrease in signal when using it. From experience with the iPhone and reviews I've read on other metal cases, I've heard they tend to lower the signal strength because of interference with the antenna. Only reason why I haven't picked one up myself.

I wouldn't use anything metal now that I have my bumper it definitely degraded my signal quality and I have many more dead spots that I didn't have before. Sending my phone into no service and killing my battery super fast.
Also, can u install the nfc antenna on this case or it wldnt work?

None so far. In fact I was having that crackling noise issue on my headphones, andso far, it seems to be blocking the rf interference.
Scratch that, I still get interference. But still other than that, no connectivity issues. Still get full bars outside and at least half indoors. And full wifi too.

I'm jealous of all you people... I hope all the black wears off and you end up with silver Ones.
Lol. I'm not trolling, I'm just playing.. I really wanted a 64GB black one (black One?), but unfortunately the ONLY version Vodacom SA got was the 32GB silver. Still, I honestly can't complain, and regardless of the colour I still feel a little grin creep up every time I stick my hand in my pocket and feel a nice cool, sleek, sexy aluminium beast in my pocket.
Got the black 32gb its been in a case since it was first taken out of the box, my only concern is the camera lense issue that seems to be cropping up on users.

Did you get black or white?

To those who didn't use Moto Maker or didn't have that option which color did you go with, black or white?

Black. No matter what don't get white. It is a less sift touch material in the back and the white front looks cheap and shows too much contrast on the screen. My black phone is forever amazing me because the screen looks peeled to the edge. A much better experience IMHO

I actually got white but I am contemplating returning for the black. I actually like the white front because it doesn't show fingerprints and lint as much as the black one my co-worker has. At the same time, the back is much more comfortable and provides a better grip on the black version. I'm just trying to decide if it's worth the 35 dollar restocking fee or if I should just stick with white.
Not worth paying but you can yell about the phone glitching or something and get a new one.

It is because since s4, full black color will turn off the pixel so need more time to turn it on again.
You can use Screen Adjuster from playstore, read below thread.
