My 2013 X is discolored from being in a purple case for quite a while, is there anything that could be recommended to safely clean it up? Thanks in advance.

I removed some stubborn stains with alcohol. I wouldn't recommend using a lot or on a regular basis, as it might begin to affect the composite material. A quick wipe should be fairly harmless, but no guarantees. Just sharing my experience. That white matte composite material is very prone to absorbing stains unfortunately. I thought about spraying it with a clear coat to protect it but at that point I figured I'd probably just buy a replacement back. Good luck.
Magic eraser?

Not trying to be funny. But I don't think you'll be able to clean it completely. Definitely one of the disadvantages of a white phone. Probably you should put some cover back on the phone.

I'm with @shubh_007 on this. That is why I prefer black over white. Slap on a new skin to cover the discoloration.

Does anyone know if the magnets on the N7 would support an iPad smart cover style front?
I had a wooden Miniot smart cover for my iPad and loved it. And I love how the N7 feels in the hand so I don't want to add bulk.
I've not heard of any though...

Looks sweet! This would match perfectly with my Mica Plank watch
I sent an email request to see if they will even think of creating one for the N7. We'll see :fingers-crossed:
We won't ever see this I think. The iPad has 2 sets of magnets. One of the left to anchor the case, one on the right to turn the screen on/off. The N7 has one on the left for on/off only.
Such a shame. I hate how much bulk most cases add.
Better keep my eyes open for the thinnest case I can find.

Got a response today and they said no. :crying:
Hunt goes on! LOL
Considering the back of the N7 can come off with a fingernail, we almost need a replacement back for the N7, with an attached screen flap. I think there's an antenna in the stock back though... so an aftermarket case may exclude that. Not sure if it's just a NFC antenna or what?
Picked up this case today.
Feels great and fits well. The sandy finish really helps with the grip. Plus this kind of red is hard to come by, a kind of dull red that even guys can use. Looks great on my gray note.

Can you post some pics on your device. I have the white one and I'm doubting it is going to look as nice.

Sure! Here you go.

Does the case offer any front protection? Does it have raised front corners or sides? I'm thinking that the screen is the most vulnerable area on the phone, and therefore needs some format of protection.

Hows the signal/wifi etc like?
I'm using this case but black in color.. feels a lot like Rock Quicksand hard casing. Doesn't affect signal/wifi at all in my opinion..maybe cause it's not made of metal?
Agree. Signal is not affected at all. It's made of some sort of plastic or resin or whatnot. I really like the feel of the case. It feels like a very fine sandpaper or what not.

My phone had a weird sumedges on it's back so I took a window cleaner to wash them out .
Then I realised that they weren't smudges but more like a loss of paint and what's worse is that the phone have lost more paint when I tried to wash it and you can see that in the htc logo .
Am I only one with this problem ? and is there a way to fix it ?

I don't have such problems with my phone, but I think it was a mistake to use a window cleaner as you completely destroyed the lacquer(varnish - don't know the correct word) layer and may have washed out actual paint layer. If it's not too bad with the paint itself, you can try to repolish the phone, but i'm not aware where it can be done (maybe some watch repair centers etc, you'll need to ask).

Neither did I. Had a bad experience with HTC one black. Scratches so easily. With the glossy finish of butterfly s, smudges are more visible with red and grey.
This post was supposed to be more of an advice on how to paint the car after getting hit. I was hit by my impatient roommate two days ago in our driveway and I went to get an estimate on the damage and was quoted $250. There are no dents and the scratches don't seem that bad so $250 seemed like a lot of money for what the issue is. I was just wondering if anyone knew what it SHOULD cost to fix this?

You should color it in the XDA color scheme, with a huge XDA logo on both doors.

$250 for a body shop to to do a blend paint service isnt that bad.

It really isn't that hard to DIY a job like that yourself. I've painted many cars myself. All you really need is the right colour, and a spray gun, which is not that hard to borrow. For a small section like that you don't need a spray booth, though you may want a dropsheet for your driveway/shed floor.

This is what I use for my n7 and I have zero complaints also.
Do you have any tips installing it? I have ruined 2 and couldn't manage to put one without any bubbles?
Follow the instructions peel half of the first later off from top to bottom and align appropriately then smooth it out as you peel off the first layout the rest of the way, afterwards there will be some bubbles just smooth them out with the wedge giving in the package some may take some pressure to get it completely gone

Use some screen cleaner to get as much of the dust as possible off of it. It really helps to cut down on the number of bubbles that are caused by dust.
The hardest part for me was just getting it centred and positioned properly. Must have taken me 7-8 tries.
