Battery covers

Hey all,
Does someone know a website where I can buy battery covers for my Ace? And with this I mean customs, nothing special, just a plain blue or red one for example, I'm kind of fed up with the standard black one.

Buy a white one and spray paint it. There's nothing on ebay since they tend to sell the original samsung covers

Here the paint is still a little wet, it may be it'll turn a little lighter later. Some hair spray on it when it's dry for protection and it's done
Unbelievable what €2,- spray paint can do

It's the day after, and I already put it on my phone yesterday. With the hair spray it simply feels protected, it made the surface somewhat smoother, and gave my phone a weird scent, but that will fade away. Really happy with it, never thought the result would look this good. I'll upload a pic later, everytime I want to upload one now uploading fails

You could try imgur.com

Here it is, still amazed by what €2,- paint and some hair spray can do ^_^.

It's about three weeks later and the paint still is doing very well. Some paint is lost around the edges because I had to take the cover off a few times and by moving the USB plug cover. The hairspray seems to tend to get loose either, but most is still on. It overall still looks great, except for some details as stated above

you should buy some 1k paint lacquer isntead of hairspray, would last longer!

Hey,
After having a blue back cover I decided I wanted something else. First I cut an Android out of paper and sprayed this gold on the blue base coat, which didn't look that bad, but since it's hard to cut something such small out of paper it wasn't as good as I wanted it to be, so after a week I sprayed the complete back cover gold, which I think looks great!

iSmooth protectors buy 1 set, get 1 set free

I just received my iSmooth protectors today, the packaging is really nice and I love the cloth. I am going to install them in a bit and report back. I noticed in the package a little info card and if you post a review of the protector on Amazon and provide all the proof of review and your Amazon order number they send you another set for free with free shipping. I don't recall anyone mentioning this previously so I thought I would share the information. If you e mail them the Amazon order number, Details of the offer can be found here www.iSmooth.com/freepromo you will receive the same item you purchased or you can choose another similar product in their range. Pretty sweet deal, imo, that's 6 protectors and 2 cloths for just under $11

I think I mentioned it before in another post, they include Thank You card with this info. Indeed a very sweet deal, and they just want your honest opinion/review to receive a second set. But as you know, if you don't like the product you will not request for a second set anyway. Btw, did you receive original screen protectors with green cover film or the new ones with a clear cover film?

There's another thread, a review of the protector and there's pictures. You can see the cut, it's a plainly visual difference in size. Older ones have a green tint on the removable film that you peel off. Newer ones aren't green.

Thanks, I already got a reply from Paul and he's sending out a new set. I love the feel and clarity of the protector, I don't like the cut on this one, too much screen exposed. I finally got the tackiness rubbed off and it feels really nice. I pulled off the jlg protector off my mom's phone, the rainbow was really annoying her. Slapped an iSmooth on it, she's happy now.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

You gonna love new version. It's on par with Spigen stuff! The width will be similar to green tint ones, but the cutouts around home button and top of the phone are better. It sticks perfectly, crystal clear, no marks from s-pen, no rainbow effects, and very easy to wipe. Not sure if it was just my sample, I did notice some accumulation of fingerprints, but it's so easy to wipe. No different than Spigen oleophobic. The most important, it feels very smooth, not plasticky at all. This clear version is going to be their new screen protector moving forward in a week or so, as told by Paul.

Any chance u could pn me pauls email I just got the old revision of the screen protectors in the mail and I tried with the ismooth support email but got no response

I was using whatever support email is at http://ismooth.com/support/
I just know the guy's name is Paul since he replied back to me. Sorry guys, I probably confused a crap out of everybody with my references to "old" versus "new". I just go by how I understood it originally and what others posted in the forum (I think some of those screen protector posts were removed in favor of a new sticky thread?). Just never mind that whole new vs old stuff. I would say order it, and if everything works great and you are happy - then you are done! They give you lifetime guarantee and you will get 2nd set for free with instructions they provide inside of the shipping package. Also keep in mind, everybody has their own opinion and preference. Some like wet install, others dry. Some want tempered glass, others something else. The tricky part with screen protectors, those are not like cases where its easy to try one versus the other, and then you return whatever you like, or keep a few to change it for different occasions, etc. So, if you find one screen protector you like and happy with it - stop driving yourself crazy (i'm speaking from a personal experience) lol!!! Again, just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt lol!!!

You mean coming off the left side of the phone? In general, not just iSmooth, if glass is not clean and/or oily from fingerprints on one side then it might have issues with sticking. Have you tried another screen protector from the pack and do you see the same problem? Make sure you wipe your screen really good. I actually buy one of those eye glass little spray bottles - its amazing how it cleans the screen and even screen protector (it works on both glass and plastic).
From the picture you posted, it looks like the original cut. Paul mentioned only something like 5% of original screens were affected by an issue of not sticking edge. If you remember, Note 2 has a glass that slopes down toward the Home button. That is where the troublesome edge could happen. If you see the second protector doing the same thing, even after you clean the screen, contract them and ask for a replacement new batch.
.... note to myself: check with iSmooth if they are hiring tech support lol!!!

Is HTC One really slippery in hand?

Hi guys,
I could not find a demo device from my local telco stores and based on what you have discovered, is HTC one silver or black version very slippery when holding it with one hand?
I used to have HTC one s grey version which had full aluminum unibody but that beauty was very slippery to a degree that I would drop it when pulling it from my jeans. So how is HTC one doing compared to one s grey version?
Thanks!!

I have seen the dummy black one in 3 store, it was not very slippery but the back was very smooth indeed. I am more concerning the silver one which I would probably get, just really want to know if that is the same as black one or more slippery cos I it seems like they are different finish.
Really want to preorder but cannot decide yet before I know how slippery one would be. Thanks for any help!!

Ohh sorry but I couldn't help you there. I didn't even get the chance to see the device other than on the internet. But thanks! I am buying the black one and glad it's great.

I've only held one briefly, but I did find it very difficult to keep hold of. It's the shape that's the problem - it's too thin at the sides, and because it's all curves and no edges there's nothing to get a grip on.

The answer at least for silver is no. I held one and it felt fine. But everyone says the N4 is slippery but I don't think it is.

Silver. I've not encountered a black one, but as I said it was the shape that was the problem, not the texture of the surface, and the black one is the same shape.
Something I should have said earlier is that I don't hold phones the way normal people do. I hold the phone in my left hand and operate it with my right index finger, rather than holding it in my right hand and using my right thumb. That may make a difference.

I tried the dummy black the other day, given the fact that I have galaxy s3 at the moment, I have to say I felt harder/sharper edge than holding a s3.
Of course it could be all because the quality of dummy is no comparison to the real thing, that's why I am planning to go to Stratford westfield to try my luck if I could have my hands on a demo device today. will report back later.

Went to Stratford Westfield today, haha super happy got my hand on a silver demo device from 3 store. It felt much better than dummy phone I have to say, the edges are much smoother and surprisingly not as slippery as one s grey version!! I think this is because One is thicker than One s so it gives you better grip.
Overall very very very happy about the silver colour, may just preorder one tomorrow!!

I have held three different devices now, I have not felt any slipperiness

It's similar to the Desire HD .. a bit slippery but not too bad!
I would recommend getting a nice case for it

Note 4 chrome finish fine scratches

I'm not using a case and once you use cases, the chrome tends to get scratched up pretty bad.
How do you guys prevent it?
Can I buy a new body like I usually do with a note 2?
How do you fix the scratches? Visible in light but not dim light

Case prevents scratching

Yes but not to the chrome finish on the corners

This is Exactly what I'm worried about. No matter what you phone is, inside a case, it will get the small scratches due to dust and particles collecting inside the case. Those dust and particles will always be rubbing on your phone, rear and the metal/chrome. I guess this is not something you can avoid unless you go butt naked lol. Ah, what to do.

I have the same issue, i have a spigen ultra capsule case on it, and i have had it on the second the phone came out of the box. Now i have scratches on the top and bottom of the front side of the chrome bezel.
This stinks, makes me wonder why sammy didnt anodize the aluminum... ;(

Same here it made me mad but I guess since it's inside the case it won't bother me but indeed makes me mad ?

Everyone knows woman are the most clumsy. Yea I have scratches on my chrome. Bothered me a day that's it. I am very careful with my devices only time I'll **** up that bad is if I was Wasted! Which I hardly am never. Yea it will get scratched no matter how careful you are. I hate it to but I'm not anal about it either, I'm sure we can use vegetable oil to scuff it off. It's nothing would still be shiny .

Damnit, so does it feel something like the black Nexus 5? that weird soft/gel type feel?
Also, looking at the middle plate that I ordered and it seems like I only need to swap out the camera and a couple of other things. The small delicate pieces seem to come with the new housing. The battery being the biggest thing to have to remove, should go smoothly tho since I'm not separating the digitizer from the front glass.
Did you have any hiccups or anything like that?
Oh, I have a white Moto X and it looks like the sim tray is the same part number as the tray of the Nexus 6, so I'll just swap them over. Where did you find the replacement battery cover for the Moto X Pro?

I had no issues at all doing the swap.

Awesome, thanks. So you didn't swap out the actual bezel piece?

Yes I did, in the first picture it's blue and the second picture it's white/silver.
Here is the link to the frame I bought.

This weekend I'm going to switch back to the one that was once blue because I've done this to it.
Polished aluminum!

Ohhh you did the polishing thing? That's awesome. What all did you have to transfer over from your complete middle plate to the new white plate? I'll be able to tell once I get my hands on it but it would be nice to know what to expect.
If there was a way to flat black the entire bezel, I'd be down for that. Similar to the black HTC one.

If I remember correctly it was just the battery, the top speaker, and the camera glass.
Battery was the hardest part as the other two just pop out.

Hey did you have an issue with the adhesive on the back cover? meaning did your replacement back come with adhesive already attached? I've seen that you can purchase the adhesive separately so I wasn't sure if it comes with the cover.

Mine came with the adhesive already attached. It is a real pain in the a$$ to get the stock one off. I use a heat gun to warm it up a little and it helped a lot!
At first I thought it might be tough to line the new one up on the first try but it was easy. I pulled off the adhesive backing fully and then lined the top up with the camera hole and it went down fine.

I wish I found this video before I did mine because getting the back started was the hardest part for me.

All of the parts came in the mail yesterday, so that's the middle plate, tools and white back battery cover (with adhesive attached). I went through TMO to get yet another warranty replacement since my power button is kind of wonky, so I'll have a couple of N6's to take apart and compare to make sure things are done correctly.
Thanks for the tips.

I was going to wait to switch to my polished aluminum frame until I got another back because I when I took my stock blue one off I scratched it up a bit.
But since I found that video I went ahead and switched the frames out again before the other back I ordered came.
I don't think I have ever received so many compliments on a phone (and I've had almost every flagship phone) as I have on my Nexus 6 with the polished aluminum frame and Moto X Pro back.
