Hello
I put usually my SGS in a case but yesterday it fell on the ground uncased because I used it in this moment.
Now there two small scratches, which are a pain in the neck because they catch the eyes very often.
It is possible to remove them?
Thank you in advance
The actual glass is scratched? I'm unaware of how to take them out...a screen protector may have made for good protection though
[Q] Does dents on the side compromise any key functionality? Or are they just "fine"?
Guys I need help finding an answer to this question.
So I'm using my phone without any case like a moron and dropped it yesterday on a rocky, clay surface. There were 2 relatively small dents on the side of the phone and they are the very end of the plastic surface. I'm completely fine with aesthetics but I'm wondering if those dents compromise any key functionality like being water resistant? If so how can I replace them? If there is no practical issue the dents create they'll be not a problem.
I found this, is it useful/legit for replacing the sides? Do I even need replacing the sides?
Relevant threads I've looked through related to my issue to no conclusive end;

...and I need a good, solid, quality case. Any recommendations? I like flip cases but dislike the wallet stuff. Protection is the key factor without compromising good looks. I might just pick up the official Roxfit bumper case while trying to find a better case just for the protection in the meanwhile or as a casual backup case but I'd love some good recommendations from people with experience. Also a random question, my Z has protective stuff on it's screen by default can I apply screen protectors (mostly for anti fingerprint) on top of that or do I need to remove the default one first?
Thank you very much in advance.
Bump.
I would like to know if anyone has purchased this case?

I already own a silver hunterF case which is identical to this one except for the gorilla glass part which
Caught my attention as I feel it would eliminate the need for a screen protector. But here are my concerns from what I see the glass is held in place by some 3m tape and when I flash a rom I have to pull out the battery to restart the device etc. or for whatever reason so I guess I would have to pull off the glass but I’m guessing that would damage the adhesion of the tape...

True it probably will be less adhesive, if at all after removal, but im not really sure. This case is very intriguing just because of the glass front plate. I also just purchsed lots of 3m tape for a repair job of a broken screen on an s3, so the constant removal would be annoying but not a problem.
I really like these cases, I'v been thinking of getting one.
I came across this one in my searches
http://www.casefanatic.com/samsung-...etal-note/coque-galaxy-note-2-zomgo-keyi-box/
This one is magnetic instead of adhesive. If that interests you.
After looking at cases all day, I now thinking that if you dropped either of these cases, the front glass screen would be easily cracked since it is very exposed, structurally. Even impacts on the sides might crack the glass. They still look good though.
I just got my tablet today and I was wondering if screen protectors are really necessary? do they really help prevent dust from sticking and fingerprints? I heard applying screen protector decrease accuracy and I was wondering if that's true?

I always use matte screen protectors on all my mobile devices and I would never buy a notebook with a glossy screen (only matte screens).
That way you avoid reflections from windows behind you, lamps etc.
No, never had screen protectors on any of my devices. They are pointless unless you really abuse your device.
Manufacturers make the effort to make a device with a great screen, slim with oleophobic coatings and then people go and negate all that by sticking a piece of cheap glass or plastic over it, which then spoil the touch and look of the device.
The manufacturers could do the same thing, but who would buy it then?
I'm sure there will be loads of counter arguments as to why they are great and they maintain the screen for better resale value, which is all well and good, but why buy a device, not enjoy it and use it as intended just so someone else can get the benefit when you sell it? :what:
I think that's so untrue. If you get a good screen protector and apply it well , a clear one, the touch is just as good and you wouldn't even know it's there with peace of mind knowing it's protected . You might not think it's scratching but screen without protection over time will get a lot of surface scratches. Drop it once on the screen there no going back
What kind of screen does our Tab S2 have? If our Tab S2 have the Corning Gorilla Glass 3... then we do not need any screen protector.
Why? Just watch scratch test of any phone with the Corning Gorilla Glass 3 screen and you will know it will resist any scratches. One example... search in youtube for THL T200 scratch test... they used the tip of a sharp swiss knife as a stylus, and no scratches whatsoever... that's how good screens are nowadays.
I used to be one of those who sticks a screen protector as soon as i buy a device... but not now with the progress they had with screens and making it scratch proof and almost unbreakable.

Hello everyone.
So I noticed some scratches on the glass cover of the camera. I got some replacement glasses, to replace myself. Is there a trick/guide to take off the previous glass, without breaking it?
Some videos say to use a heat gun, but as I understand, the back cover, and even the actual lenses are made of plastic. I'm afraid I'd melt the lenses, and/or make them murky. So I didn't use a heat gun, and I tried using a sharp cutter to pry it open, but it's very hard, as the glass is lower than/flush with the outer ring. I ended up shattering the glass. Luckily, the shards didn't scratch the lenses (as far as I know of). The problem is, the new glass I glued on it got fingerprint on the inside (yeah, human error on my part). Now I have a few other replacement glasses (I bought a few, just in case), but I'm afraid I'd shatter this one again, trying to get it open with a cutter. Does anyone know how to safely take the glass cover off?
Thank you.

If you wanna fix the glass, you can scratch it with an eraser or rub some toothpaste on it.
Do not do this, the text above is meant for comedical purposes only
Edit: rub, not run idot.
