ok so how'd you do it?
Okay this is how it went. The back has a rubberized coating that when sanded leaves groves. I also had to use a higher grit because the coating is tough. Sanded off the logo. Then attempted to leather it out. My trimming wasn't up to my standards so I took it off and sanded the glue off. The Giants won the Super Bowl and I broke out the blue krylon. Light coats letting it dry completely. I have another back (bought 2). Going to take my time.
No clear coat yet might add more to it.

I wasn't a big fan of the markings on the back, So i sanded it and gave it some vertical brushed pattern
I still need to polish it more, But it looks so much better now

Wow mate took guts to sandpaper your phone but it does look sweet.
Sent from my HUAWEI P6-U06 using xda app-developers app
I have some small markings as well despite the fact that the case is on all the times and they annoy me but i would try to find a way to paint it there than make the all the paint dissapear. Any ideas what paint to use? The silver back looks sweet but i would miss the logo....
I accidentally broke a part of the bottom corner plastic outlining on my N7 2013 (dropped it) and now I need help getting it replaced because I really don't like having things damaged like this but the problem is I don't wanna have to buy a whole new screen and also I don't know what it is called so I can buy it on ebay

The red outline was added to show what part of the tablet I'am talking about
If anyone has an nexus 7 2013 you see the shiny full black plastic that wraps around the tablet I dropped it smashing a little bit of the plastic off no actual damage but still is annoying.
Bought this (still in the mail) and was wondering if anyone had some suggestions on the best fix? Parts are cheap but I've got 2 part epoxy, jewelry quality hot glue and super glue in my tool kit so I was wondering if anyone has glued one of these back together and how it held up?

I used superglue and it worked until it fell off of a counter.
High temp hot glue did the trick, I use this stuff to mount neodymium magnets, the only non perm way I've found that can hold onto those little suckers, and if you screw up you can hit with a heat gun and rework it..

I didn't actually think about them. Glad you got it fixed.

Sorry for my bad english, i'm french
Thank you for you answers
Just put it in a bowl of rice it will suck all the moisture. Or you can put the phone on sun but don't keep it there for too long.
I don't think that it's moisture, on my device I have a similar look on the camera lens.
I'd say there is a coating, which gets rub off after a while. Nothing you can do besides to get a new backcover, or remove the coating all together.
