Is the bezel around the screen on the Evo plastic or metal?
Looking at mine, I'm pretty sure it's just a hard plastic.

hello
i got scratches on the sides and dents on the sides of the phone on the green part. these dents are only on the edges. so i was wondering if there is a way to replace the edging somehow ?
The edges of my vibrant has some scratches too. Have you tried any scratch remover??

Has anyone purchased a case like this? I am assuming that it is a TPU case with an aluminum bezel thingy around the outside. I would like to see it on a phone to see how much thicker it makes the phone (it looks to be a very thin alternative to a full aluminum bezel). I also am curious as to if it is actually TPU or another material. Thoughts?

P.S. It is also fairly cheap.
It doesnt mention that its TPU.
To me, it looks like a plastic back. I think that if it fell, the clips would break that hold the back to the aluminum.

looks like aluminum and polycarbonate to me, I doubt it's TPU. TPU isn't brittle enough to clip like that, which is why you don't see many TPU cases for slider phones.
That would be sweet though if it were made with TPU along the back with that bezel. Looks nice.

That was my first thought as well!

I am looking for a minimalistic case for my galaxy nexus except that the case covers the side bezel of the screen.
Diztronic. Will "lip" over the sides and the bottom plastic. This case is ideal for those with screen protectors that lift at the ends, so that the case covers it.
This is the one I have. Covers the sides and lips over as well:

Not sure if they'd deliver to where you're located though.
The speck case also has a lip around it that will cover the ends of a screen protector.
looks pretty thick
I got this one on Ebay, covers the side bezel but not the top. I also have a Diztronic, and it's a bit too bulky. This designcraft one is very slim.

Apologies if this has been covered - didn't find anything in search ...
Most of the cases for GS3 - especially the gel TPU cases that I like for grip - have a molded "racetrack" edge that runs around the perimeter of the phone. Problem I've noticed is that dust gets collected in the corners because it has nowhere to slide off.
I found some cases that only wrap along the sides on the face of the phone. That is, the upper & lower edges of the phone are exposed. Bad for drop protection but I like that the dust can just be wiped off (and often does just pulling it out of my pocket). Problem is, these types of cases are usually hard plastic and just as slippery as the plastic on the phone itself. I just received one that was sold as TPU but it's only slightly more grippy - nothing even close to the gel TPU cases.
Is there a TPU gel case that leave top or top & bottom open? Or is there a way to keep dust from collecting in the corners without constantly peeling off the edge & wiping away? I took an Xacto knife and sliced away the upper edge of the gel TPU case and that works but looks kinda crappy.
Dont think such case exsist imo. The closest to what u need it the rearth ringke slimelite. But like u mentioned the top and bottom are uncovered. But the edges and corners are covered for some slight drop protection. Also has lay on table feature

Thanks. Yeah, that slim lite is very similar to the one I have which is open top & bottom. It is "soft feeling" but doesn't give nearly the grip of TPU gel cases.
Oh the ringke has great grip. Love the grip it has. I have never dropped it once with that case on, and i have butter fingers lol. Btw i currently have the zoogue and don't get any dust underneath at all. I work in the oilfield so i should know. I take it off couple times a week to wipe it down and havent seen any dust particles on the edge nor the backside.

Interesting. I wonder if mine being a cheaper version has a harder TPU that is not as grippy as the ringke. Gonna look into that. Not sure why I'm getting so much dust in the wrap-around lip cases. Maybe overly linty pockets!
What case are u having issues with? Is it a generic tpu case
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi
Yeah, generic TPU case that has the standard lip that wraps around the perimeter of the screen. Seems like dust gets attracted to the screen and then scoots its way to the corners since the lip prevents it from sliding off.

Hi guys,
I accidentally scraped off a portion of the silver paint from the frame, revealing white plastic underneath. It feels very rough to the touch. I saw one YT video of a person using a silver marker to color in the damaged areas, but that probably wouldn't last long. Any other suggestions? Thanks.
Get a skin (TPU-type case) and cover the tab. I really do not like the fake stitched plastic back on the 2014 Tabs and Notes and have mine covered with a very thin skin - the grip is much nicer.
