Has anyone tried to do this? Wouldn't it be rather easy with a plastic back?
I wonder what they use to print it and if it can be stripped chemically.
don't do it. It's carved in there and painted over. I used diluted acetone to remove it. I have a white backing on mine and the at&t logo was dark grey. after the acetone the logo is gone but it looks like its just a white at&t logo now. Unfortunately they didn't just paint it on.

You can peel the letters off, and it actually looks pretty good.
I somehow had gotten into the habit of rubbing the "HTC" logo on the back while holding my phone, and started to wear off the silver paint. I decided I wanted the letters either all silver or all bronze (the color underneath), so I tried using my nail to scrape off the paint. Instead, the letter peeled off! Even more surprisingly, it actually looks pretty good. If you do this, make sure you peel the letters off and the little adhesive film underneath them as well (it looks kind of shiny, peel it off and you'll have the nice matte coloring of the back cover).
Yeah my letters ended up just falling off. It doesn't look bad though, I was just kinda surprised when they started to come off.
yeah the letters from my black battery cover and my white battery cover both fell off.
surprisingly my red battery cover is still perfect, I've had it for quite a while now and the letters from that one are still there
My "H" actually broke in half and the "T" has been missing for something. I was thinking about doing this.

I have 2 covers - the regular one and the extended battery. The extended one still has the letters but the more I look at them the more i want to take them off. Or maybe I'll try dying them red to match the case. The regular cover has had the letters off for a long time
Did this fairly easy on my extended cover. Just dug my finger nail at the edges of the letters and they popped off.

Yup same here. The only thing is I think of my red cover as my Ferrari cover, so I only use it when I'm going out and want to show off. It still doesn't have a scratch on it. For the rest of the times I just use either my stock battery cover and if I'm going to be out for awhile I use my extended battery with the big cover.
Happened to me too, but I have to say, kinda looks nicer(?)
My HTC logo is still fine but my red camera eye fell off. Official word...looks like ****.

Yeah, the HTC is fine on mine, but the red camera eye fell off.
Really annoying when I remove the case, which thankfully I do not have to do too often.
I actually liked the silver but last time I was in Cabo they all started to come off because I had left the phone out in the sun with the back side up. I thought about coloring them red maybe but its hard to make it look good and find something that you know will stick to the rubberized case.
Anyone know where to find the silver or a red set of the HTC letters that would fit the Dinc?

My original back started cracking and and lost some pieces. The letters were also falling off.
I ended up getting this back.

Same as the stock one and it fits perfect.
I put on a otterbox immediately after buying my phone and never even noticed the lettering. I actually kind of like the phone without the silver lettering after seeing the image of it.
i hope mine never comes off, but it would still look decent, i see.
One of the edges of the "T" was sticking out and scratching me so I just took them out with an exacto, contemplated filling it in with red nail polish or something but never got around to it.
I had the H start peeling up at random on a very humid day and just pulled it all off. It actually does look rather clean without it! Just needed a little cleaning from where the glue was.
I colored mine in with a fine point Sharpie, white. Then colored over than in bright red. It looks a bit amateur but I don't have the most steady hands. I'll post pics in a few.
I just recently got an HTC one black. While the color is really nice I have a small problem with the edges
The color is coming off. I have some small scuffs like dot that the black color is not there
and I can see the aluminium
Is there any paint that works on aluminium?
I was thinking to get a touch up paint for a car which supposed to be for metal
There are a lot of "stealth" colors available.
Has anyone done that?
What is your opinion

I'm in the same boat. At first was thinking plasti-dip, but that'd rub off pretty fast in and out of your pocket all the time. Subbed to thread, pretty curious.
Have you tried permanent black marker? I heard it's decent enough for small patch.
Actually the black permanent marker works pretty well. I tried to rub the surface where I have the white spots and the black color did not come out
I dont know how strong this paint is but I would not mind to do it every few months.
Nice tip
Witch color black do you have? I tried a marker but the black color is not coming near the color of the one. Do you all have the same brand marker?

Hey guys so today i initially got a white note 4, but after owning it for 30 mins i noticed that there was a huge gap that stuck out like a sore thumb. I took it back to the original AT&T store where i got it where they acknowledged there was a gap but couldn't help me because "their whole batch had gaps." Long story short i went to a second store where they opened 3 other units (all white) and they all had gaps in different areas, but not as noticeable as mine. I finally went to a THIRD store where they had a black one and exchanged it.
So my question to you guys with the white Note 4's do you have gaps?
I have a white one with no gaps whatsoever. My wife has the.black one. The only real difference i notice between the white and black is the sliipery feel of the the back on the white vs the black.
The back of the white one feels like such crap. The back of the black one is a little better but it isn't as grippy as the note 3.
It's just 'luck of the draw' I think. I have a black note 4 with no visible gaps
Got Black, no gaps

The "soft touch" coating on the black Note 4 is sprayed on and easy to scratch and mar. That's one of the reasons I got white. It's not expensive to replace a scratched back cover but it's nice not to have to.
I am swapping my white for black

Eye41 do not care about the back cover of either phone, as I will definitely be getting the wireless charging S view case when I get my device
I have a Midnight Blue AT&T Nexus 6, and unfortunately it took a tumble and my mid frame got dented (no screen damage thankfully). So I'm going to replace it and was thinking about using a white/silver midframe and a black back, or just using the blue. My only worry is that where the black back would not be OEM that it wont be that great of quality. Any ideas or opinions on this? Thanks

FWIW: I replaced the "blue" back on my AT&T model because I wasn't satisfied with the ghost of the emblem after scraping it off. The factory "black" back that I purchased on eBay was exactly the same color. So I think the only thing blue is the frame.

There is an actual after-market, non-oem black back being sold on ebay. (But you are correct, there are sellers calling the oem blue backing as black)
Can someone explain please what are these parts?
When you open the sim flap theres a green line thing and sort of a paper inserted in two lined holes..
Anyone knows what are they?
the green i dont know but the "paper" one is the informations of the phone (imei, fabrication date, etc) I just have to pull it
See in here:

The green one looks like a piece of the motherboard that protrudes.
Ohhh cool! If you pull it out can you push it back in? Or its ruined?
And I think the green one is indicating if that part as gotten wet and the green will turn red..
Yes, if you pull it out then you can push it back in. No problem.

No - the white square is the water detector - it turns pink when wet. I have no idea what the green piece is for.

oh.. never mind I was more curious about the white paper.. I was afraid to pull it out..
The green one is almost certainly a protruding part of the motherboard. I took a look at the phone this time - if you open the cover and look at the nanoSIM slot, you'll see that the same "green" is continuing there and the slot is mounted on it. Not sure why it's protruding, but maybe the external plastic works as a kind of "placement lock" for the motherboard in this corner.
