Does anybody knows if the side transparent plastic strips can be replaced and what is the procedure.
Surely it would damage the structural integrity and void your warranty and waterproofing if you did it yourself?
Yes you can replace it, I saw it on some online webshops a while ago.

Yes I saw them selling in some online shops but i'm wondering if there are only bonded do the water resistant frame as decorative strips or I need to disassembly the phone in order to replace them. I'm asking because I dropped my phone and there is dent on the upper strip.
You can change it.This side stripes is only for decoration and is not part of the body.

Great thank you very much
I'd actually like to do this but that video isn't the easiest to follow. Is there a step by step anywhere? Also where are you seeing the strips for sale?
Any link to purchase this?

My down strip is a little damaged.Is that changable ?

I believe he used running hot water to soften glue of the strips to make it easier to remove them.

Gahh i been looking everywhere for the volume side strip! I bought that one you linked but it did not have the strip for the volume side
some one must sell them
i am in the same dilemma. I bought a pack of side strips in black, from China. Took ages to arrival only to be left with one side strip not being changed.
The one that people are after is the VOLUME SIDE STRIP!
Someone know a retailer who sells a full set? Share please! :fingers-crossed:
My local phone repair shops are so unhelpful.
Thanks
I have a solution. I bought a DUMMY Z1 £12 on eby and took the side strip from that. Same quality and size! Fits like a glove.
I took the old glue of that one with degrease, and got hold of some double side film. carefully cut it out in strips to put on.
All Sorted.

Hi.
I have a question for u guys.
I really like the design of the phone and hate to bulk it up with case so i`m planning to use it naked.
The question is: how good the device hold up against scratches and chipping since i`ve seen what happen to black iphones after a while.
Thanks in advance.

Sadly, the paint chips around the edges if you're not that careful - not that much, but tiny specks of silver

Don`t it loose color on the edges when u put it in and out of pocket all the time ?
I've had it for almost 3 months now, and I do have some silver spots on the back. Also one little dent.
The look is totally worth it TBH ;p
also, most of the silver spots on the back were actually caused by sand that got between the case and the phone in the first week haven't been using cases since.
Another thing, I've heard a black permanent marker actually hides the spots, but I have yet to try this.
No scratches here! 2 months.

I have the black and i'd say that the phone holds up fairly well when exposed to things that might scratch it
the phone's metal does not scratch that easily but the bezel of the metal acrually scratches fairly easily, so a bumbper might be of use but the phone is still usable. The back is also fairy easy to scrath if you use sandpaper and press it really hard but if its not scratched there might be a few marks that can be rubbed away easily using the right adhesive. Hope this helped! and also use a screen protector the glass is not gorrilla glass 3
I've got 2 small chips on the edge of mine, I've tried 2 different markers but both rubbed off eventually and they were slightly different shades as well. I have a nillkin hard cover on mine which doesn't add too much thickness

Hi fellas..
Now that back covers have slightly reduced prices on Ebay, I decided to take the plunge.
Ordered a white back cover for my black G2 and here are the pics.
I think it looks pretty neat and fingerprint visibility on the white one isn't that high.
Got the cover from here:
http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/28122764...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
That looks pretty nice. Was it hard to pry the back cover off?
Sent from my LG-LS980 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
WOAH. that's cool!
But why didn't you just get the quick window case in white and pry the window off? I have a white G2 and just bought a white and black QW case for when I get bored of the colour.

Well, initially it was difficult. But once ya got the first latch out (with a click), ya just gotta apply enough force for all the latches. An important point to note is that you'll have to use a plastic opening tool, or anything plastic, and relatively sharp. Any other material may damage your device.
Got my guidance from:

Well, this might sound crazy, but nothing beats having a complete naked device in terms of feel in the hand. I just wanted it to be small.. real small. And yea.. I've used the slimArmor for a week.. and then the Korean Nekeda case for much longer, but eventually ended up naked
I'll get a QW case when I pass this phone to my wife in April/May.
Does the case just snap back into place, or do you have to use some kind of glue to keep it in place? Really tempted to get a white back.. Do you think if I were to sell it later I'd be able to put the black one on again and you wouldn't be able to tell it was ever taken off?

It snaps right back on. There is no adhesive used at all.
Yes, I think you removed the back without damaging it, shouldn't be a problem at all.

Sorry, don''t get you on your first question.
Yes, all the antennas (black portions) are intact, together with the centre NFC piece. I doubt you can add wireless charger inside as there are no pins for you to connect to and also space restrictions.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Here there's the skin from gadgetshieldz it just fits the phone perfectly. You can apply it using an hairdryer for couple seconds to soften the glue!
Buy also the Mi logo stickers because the Mi cutouts of the skin aren't centered with the mi logo on the back of the phone (mi logo stickers are a little more difficult to place because they are really small)

I also oreder it 23/12/2018 and it still did not arrived, I opened the dispute on their page and they responded that the package was probably lost and that they are sending it again, I just needed to confirm my address again so just in case any of you have had similar problem
EDIT: so it just arrived, I applied it and it looks awesome, the phone is not slippy anymore. only downside I see for now is that side buttons are not that "clicky" anymore, other I will test after some time, curious to see how durable it will be
Hello, pls can you post some photos? What is the accuracy of the "skin"?? Thanks
The accuracy is perfect, except for the Mi logo, but it doesn't matter for me. The actual feel is amazing, don't know if you can see it on the picture, but it's not the same phone and the cheap feel of plastic is gone, material and finishing of this seems really good/premium for just under 10$
