Hey, I am running CM7 with the MUIU Camera app.
Owned the device for some time now so not as anal about it, took the lens protector cover off the back of the camera (on the removable part) and my lord. What a difference. Very sharp and clear. That plastic bit I took out just couldn't be cleaned after about a year, it was always mucky no matter what. I was getting peev'd at iPhone users saying how better their images were but that's not the case anymore.
Would recommend if you like your images.
Sorry I cant do like for like but hopefully you'll get the idea;

What do you think?
It has been discussed in the past. The problem is that cheap plastic lens cover that easily gets scratched and dirty. Some people simply remove it and others replace it with a sapphire glass. There is also an old thread around... Search!

Some boards are unusable these days, because when you do search you just get posts from wanna be mods bashing at people to search, making search results all but useless. I wasn't asking a retarded question, I was sharing my findings.
Thanks for your time.

where did you get a new back cover from?
I like this thread. I do get sick of the lack of clarity in photos sometimes, and yeah I've noticed that my plastic cover has been getting progressively worse over time, so I just did what you suggested, to take the back cover off, and I got a nice comparison (of your photos, actually!) and the differences are absolutely phenomenal. Might have to get a replacement back now .
Dan.
I think they are better but I have stock 2.1 camera app and it is good for me.

Not currently the phone is wayy too new and not quit popular like the iphone wait a little while
Won't happen. The only reason you can do it with the iPhone is because it's already glass. They just had to strip the paint off the back.
You're quite wrong, there are many phones that aren't glass that have this same modification.
Swifted from my Atrix.
android devices get outdated too fast for this kind of mod.
remember back in the day when there was the motorola v300, there were plentiful shell mods online, because phones were released only so often back then.
Nowadays there is a new android device out every few months, and there is no point in building a product for it because the market changes so fast.
this isnt the case with the iphone because its once a year, and theres only one model, so the popularity of it is high enough that making accessories for it is profitable.

Okay. Let me rephrase my previous statement. Show me a recent smart phone with a clear case. Not a phone from the 90's.
Wow, I'm sorry for getting back here later then I said but in truth I didn’t expect so many great reply’s. This is why you guys are the best

I remember seeing that iphone mod a while back, I believe the owner took the glass off and used paint thinner to remove the black paint. If you dont mind taking apart your Atrix, perhaps try that?

How's that supposed to work? The Atrix isn't made out of glass like the iPhone 4.

I was referring to the front, which I believe is gorilla glass. For the back, you'd have to find a replacement cover.

At least our back piece is removable, so that part shouldn't be too dangerous!
I was worried about it breaking when being removed but after seeing this video

WOW
i thought it was cheap but !!!!!!!

Can you imagine a car body made of that plastic
Damn...I had no idea how decent it was. I guess Samsung really know their hardware.

Yea, I figured it wouldn't be that brittle.

Normally when you bend plastic , it goes white at the bend point as is damaged/weakened , no sign of that here
This grade of plastic is more expensive than aluminium, and for good reasons. Im happy I have this phone and not one with an aluminium cover.
Great, I thought mine was going to break when taking it off lol
that's pretty damn impressive.
Not even fatigue
im amazed, but has anyone else tried this with theirs?

I was about to but then i looked inside my pants and realised my balls are not big enough.
Before people go trying this are we sure this is not third party? Don't recognise the logo under the camera, unless it's a carrier one?
I've tried it with mine, no problem at all.. It pop's right back to it's original state.. Did it however when temperatures were high (>25 Celcius), somehow i get the feeling that matters also a bit..
By the way.. The logo is of Anycall, it's the Korean telecom division from Samsung.
thats awesome, seems better than the SE Vivaz battery cover (my last phone)...
there's been no day i havent found something new and awesome about my SGSII =)
lmao nice one tbh first time i took it off was like omg its gonna break now i just rip it off lol but put my mind at rest im not gonna damage it
Has anybody tried bending their backcover like in the video, just in case it was a special rubber one
No way.. I wont try it
When I first took the cover off my new SGS2, I was extremely disappointed to see how flimsy the back cover was and was handling it like it was going to snap at any second..
Very nice to see that it is pretty strong, although I have no intention of testing the hardiness of my own one
Gutsy
It definitely took balls for that guy to try it on the video the first time. We can't even try it after seeing a demonstration!
I got so relieved when i saw that video xD
Got so scared the couple times i had to remove it
"Oh god, need to open the case again, its totally gonna break now!"
My thought every single time xD
Wasn't sure exactly where to put this, so mods feel free to move this thread if necessary.
I recently saw this thread with custom laser engraved battery covers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474014
I also was aware of the limited edition google employee battery cover. I figured since they are either ridiculously priced/nowhere to be found, that I would just remake the template so that people could get it done if they wanted too. A few of the icons had to be custom made because I could not find them, but everything is very close. Revisions can always be made later (or by you) if you choose.
I'm sure this template could be used for a number of things, so I figured themes & apps was the most appropriate place to post it. I left the edges to the side icons on also, so if you plan on using this for the engraving, make sure you take care of them.

How they line up:
Awesome.
Any ideas where to get it etched?
I'm not sure I'd want this particular battery cover, but does anyone know of a way of getting other battery covers for the LTE Galaxy Nexus? Custom etching would be nice, but mainly I'd be happy with anything that doesn't have the damn Verizon logo.

never come s3
look this http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=e3ri6vrmPbc
I'm kinda confused, a lot of people complaining about screen being prone to scratch, a lot complaining about not being gorilla glass etc etc...
As the other guy how had his one x going down from the second window floor and still working fine.
Had switch my yellowish Xperis S to th one X that arrived at home today but i'm on a trip so tomorrow is a big day, huge expectation about it after frequenting this forum for like 2 weeks now!
Hopefully no screen flex, bad screen ripple, gps or any other issue!

How can that be possible cant belive ...
Wow these videos are amazing, at least i don't have to worry about my phone too much now. Especially after that one dude on here dropped his from a window and it survived
Beat that SIII
Shock & awe!
just plain wow! Now I'm prouder with my HTC One X more than ever!
Next time I get into an argument with an iPhone or Samsung user, I'm gonna smash his brains in with my HOX!!!!
Even better, someone should do a phone fight off video, where they smash the phones against each other, like HOX vs SIII or HOX Vs iPhone!!!
One day before my protective screen arrived I accidentally dropped my work phone over the HOXs' screen. It's a heavy blackberry and I was sure it would have damaged the screen. To my surprise there was not a single micro scratch there. Nonetheless the protective screen arrive and I´m happy to have it on
My HOX got run over
So today i dropped my HOX and my mates car ran it over... needless to say i was crapping my pants when i was picking it up to see the damage but to my surprise nothing!!!!! Not even a scratch, dent or anything! I am using a plastic case and a screen protector so that would have absorbed a lot of the punishment but still very happy no damage to the phone!

So you want a pic of my working phone? cause there isn't anyway that i'm going to let her get runover again haha
First thing I want to clear is that I dont have a Nexus 5, My gf has one and this is for her phone..
Recently I saw one N5 which had a screen protector(SP).. It had the words "Nexus 5" written on it which could only been seen when the screen was off (glowing wud be a similar term but it was more sort of the small freebies we used to get in cheetos/lays in the early 00's I hope you guys get me)
Also i'm 100% positive that it wasnt some kind of screensaver coz I cud make out the remaining part of the screen was off as opposed to be being black(like on voip calls)
Can you guys find me the SP? I am confused what exactly to search for and generic collection of N5 SP is huge, so posted it here..
thanks a lot in advance

What you saw was someone who had not yet removed the plastic layer that covers the screen when you first pull it out of its box. It's not a screen protector per say, and I don't think they sell any of them like that.
As someone who kept mine on for a bit I can let you know that you certainly do see it even when the screen is on, it's just less noticeable.
did it look like this?
