The McLaren on the back of the case is a very sharp metal and began peeling after 2 weeks. This resulted in deep cuts on my hand and a good amount of blood. I have 2 small children so it was scary. My older son likes to bring my phone to me when he wakes up and threw the phone screaming and I had no idea what was going on.
What case? I got my 7t pro McClaren 5g edition from t mobile the other day and no case was in it. Although the t mobile rep did take about 10 minutes in the back retrieving it.
When you open the box. Remove the bottom from the package and you will find a case there... I would warn against using it. However, it definitely should be there.

Hello, is you post related to the OnePlus 7T? Just asking as you've posted in the OnePlus 7 Pro device forum.
If it's really OP7T related I intend to move your thread to the correct device forum.
And Merry Christmas to everybody.

OH wow!! Thank you so much, I had no idea there was a secret compartment at bottom of box ?. The case looks awesome.
And you were right, I looked closer at the back of the phone and saw the sensor you're referring to and the McLaren case has that cut out however the Poetic Case did not have it.
Thank you once again.
Any pics of it ?
Well, that's very cry cry story, but i can't imagine how this cut can hurt, why your kids is take your phone (they haven't other toys?), next will be car keys and accidental crash, and at last, how you holds your phone for take injury from this cut out, this story just freaking me out by level of dumbass :silly:

Yes
Same happened to me, first one finger with a 1 cm cut and the second time the mc laren logo was stuck in annother finger. No kids we scared though. no pics. but that sharp angle of the mc laren logo is the culprit imho.
Came right off with my fingernail, and was easily half attached and peeled up mid removal as could happen accidentally in a pocket. Not great... and the M is quite sharp.
Just peel it all off . Should look better
Yes that was my only point that it is a terrible design and oneplus should change this going forward. I know I had a smart user tell me to stop crying about it but I just wanted people to be aware.
It's a slippery phone on the edges - use a case or else.
If u haven't bent the letters get a strong adhesive and tooth pick and glue them back in place. Unless u like them off. It's not made bad if there metal it sounds like the glue isn't strong enough and u can just fix it ur self with a primo glue.
I've had my Mclaren for months and, even though I saw this thread before I bought it, I figured it was a single defective case
Today, I had to use plyers to pull 3/4 of the M out of my index finger. I hadn't had any peeling or snags prior, but I reached into my pocket to get my phone and came out a bloody mess.
I'm fine now, but just like OP said the letters are razor sharp. I'll be peeling the rest later today and I won't be replacing it; It's still an excellent case.
Clone of case without logo
Perhaps this might help. I ordered one of these so I'd have a similar case on hand when the original wears out. https://www.ebay.com/itm/McLaren-Style-Luxury-Carbon-Fiber-Genuine-Leather-Oneplus-Sports-Car-Case-Cover/143539669280

I don't want to pull out the kickstand every time I put down my phone, i'm likely just going to get two rubber bumpers to put up near the top corners.
Is it really that big of a pain to deploy the kickstand?

That's what I thought. I'm sure I will do the same. The kickstand is aluminum, right? Little chance of breaking it...
Personally I bought a screen protector and set it face down. Everyone wins!
i probably won't kickstand it too often.. all u need is some dumbass to walk by, accidentally hit ur phone and send it flying.. good bye evo
I never kickstand it when I want to set it down. I just put yet on its back and even though the camera glass is touching the table it doesn't have any scratches.
Sent from my HTC Evo 4G using Tapatalk
pretty much any case will wolve the problem, honestly, I'm probably going to cut out a circular protector for the glass on the camera, that way i both don't need a case, and I don't have to kickstand it ALL the time(most of the time i probably will just because the kickstand is awesome and i can use it as a clock if needed).
If the covering over the lens is real glass, then scratching will likely not happen. Glass used in these situations is extremely scratch-resistant.
I wont want to pull the stand out every time either. That would get to be a PITA. Im going to look at body gloves also
I saw one of best buy's demo models on dislay in the store and the camera didnt seem to poke out far enough to hit a surface. Of course this is based off of visual estimation. Plus I cant imagine the HTC developers would overlook something like that.
I'd just use the kickstand or put it back in the pocket.
I's just wanna show the kickstand off.. "Yeah, my phone can sit up... Whatever you know I get the best stuff..."

I cut up some pieces of leftover bike tape (the stuff that goes on the handlebars) and made a little box around it, its soft and feels good in your hands, protects the EVO's (strangely unprotected) camera BUT does admittedly make it look a bit ... odd. As odd as it may look, it does completely put my mind at ease about messing up/scratching the lens.
HTC placed a kickstand at the back so you wouldn't worry about things like this. So I guess we should use it for it's intended purpose.

Corning themselves stated that the Nexus doesnt use gorilla glass but that doesnt mean they havent used some other type thats just as strong and durable. The guy did mention in his twitter that he managed to scratch it with a google mug a bit later so I dont know how he managed to do that maybe he threw the mug at the phone coz it wouldnt go get him another coffee haha.
Im not even sure if that type of key test would scratch normal glass if it was only done for a few seconds. I guess I could take my keys to a piece of glass on the shed and see what happens lol.

Just an ordinary key (especially a well used one) are quite round and soft in the edges so no, it should be hard to scratch regular glass even, an unpainted ceramic coffey mug bottom on the other hand is allmost like a fine sandpaper so it would cause more scratching

ye, dragging a coffee mug across the screen would be a much better test, I've often thought the same about the use of keys in scratch test videos.
Keys is a good test imo, what else is a common contact to the phone? throw it in your pocket, what is usualy in there? i know i keep mine in my rear pocket all by itself, but still keys could become a common contct with a phone. When I empty my pockets I tend to stack them all in a pile, wallet usually end up ontop of the phone, but occasionaly I realize my phone on my desk with keys on top. Yes,I can see people setting their coffee on top of their phone like a coaster, caeless, but i'm sure it happens when you are busy at work.

I don't really think anyone would really ever put a mug on their phone in day to day use, but there are plenty of things worse than keys that your phone can get in contact with that would be more abrasive than a key, the mug example would be a good method to test the screens resilience to such things.

well mine scratched whilst i was cleaning the screen with a microfibre cloth well pi""ed of. Should have waited for screen protector(s) :/
from what i find these days most phones can handle "physical abuse" just fine.... it's just when it comes to fluids, beware
I carried my nexus s around without any protection for 9 months and it still looks mint. I expect the same from this phone.

Don't!
I like you thought the same after having the SGS and mine already has 2 scratches.
Rub a few grains of sand or salt on any display and report back.
I actually drove by the Corning main campus last weekend in New York. I was close to stopping by and questioning why they wouldn't make every effort possible to get their product into the Nexus.
Of course I realized they wouldn't answer my questions or be helpful...but still.
I'm not worried, anyway. I'm sure whatever manufacturer Samsung got for this phone did a fine job.
BULL****! My screen is scratched after 3 days of using it in the house and I have OCD with my phone! the worst thing i did was put it in my pocket and take it out.
I have had a galaxy S2 for over 6 month and not had a scratch :/ this one is quite deep

so, i've got way too much time on my hands and was looking for a brushed aluminum style back cover to match our cameras online. I could find nothing. i started looking into the process of melting aluminum, which is surprisingly easy, as is creating the brushed effect. as of right now i currently have my back cover pushed into some drywall mud (no modeling clay) and drying so that i can form the second half of my mold. just thought i would inform you guys of my insanity!
TL;DR : trying to make an aluminum back cover from scratch.

I think antenna reception would be a bigger concern. Still, I would totally plunk down some cash to buy one, if you figure out how to do something easily repeatable...
Keep us posted, this sounds like a really cool idea!
i'll definitely let you guys know how it goes. good to know people care because it will keep me from stopping half-way through. haha. i'll probably do most of it this weekend. the drywall mud was pretty dumb, im probably going to use a greensand mold and see what i can do with that. ill just do the dividing line along the back of the back cover.
the bad news: greensand is hard as hell to find at stores or anything
good news: i have scrap aluminum, and i can borrow my girlfriend's dad's propane torch. i went out and bought plaster of paris tonight. Going to set up the mold tomorrow morning and once it is hardened i can start the process of melting+pouring+setting the aluminum in the mold.
turns out walmart sells plaster of paris in a big purple box covered in flowers, which made it somewhat difficult to find considering nobody there knew what it was....
bottom half of the mold is set and drying. here's hoping i can get it back out. haha.
Looks like it might be kinda hard making sure the holes for the speaker are cut out properly!
i made sure the plaster got far enough into the holes to make an imprint, but not far enough to seal the back to the mold.

thats good! Do you have a dremel or something else to smoothen out edges? Molds typically create a lot of extra garbage on the side that needs to be cut off... Your using aluminum right?
If yours comes out good and doesnt hinder the signal quality too bad, i think i might do the same

yeah, i've got plenty of tools and scrap aluminum. depending on how well it turns out/how it affects the phone i may offer to sell them to people on here.
that isnt to say that buying one will be the only way to get one. I will be sure to post a full and detailed tutorial when i am finished for anyone adventurous enough to attempt it.
No to be a pessimist but did you notice that there is something on the original cover that seems to be taped in the cover? I figure an antenna?
How will you do it?

i've been without a back cover while it is setting for about a day now and haven't noticed any adverse effects.
bottom mold is done, and looking pretty good besides a few air bubbles that i need to fill.
You may want to look at the back cover a little more closely. The warning message to not scratch the sheet makes me think the back cover also helps to serve as an antenna possibly??? Not sure, but it seems odd to have the warning.
About the sticker being an antennae, that never crossed my mind. For some reason I always assumed it was something to distribute heat away from the battery.
Both possibilities seem very plausible though.

The back is held on by tiny spring clips. I used a plastic credit card to slip along the edge, then pry/pop each tab. I think there were 4 or 5 on each side.
Use something thin and plastic so you don't scratch the bezel.

Just use your last name as your company name, and your address is all you need.
I've dropped mine from >1 meter exactly 6 times. Twice when cycling to work. This thing has seen some asphalt but is still working.
Here's a quick and dirty way to fix the back cover:
1. Carefully remove the back cover from it's place. The right way to do this is to push it down towards the bottom of the phone, but to do so you have to first remove the plastic bottom piece. Another way to remove the cover is to slide a screwdriver under it and gently push middle of the cover upwards. This is how I got mine off, I never removed the plastic bottom piece.
2. Fix any clips that are bent, they appear to be quite durable so you should be able to bend them back where they should be without breaking them.
3. Study the closing mechanism. The right way to seat the back cover is to place it few mm lower than it's place and slide up towards the top of the phone. Again, the plastic bottom piece should be off when seating the back cover, if not you'll find that one of the bottom covers clips is sitting on top of the bottom piece instead of under it. Screwdriver and carefully applied force are your best friends when getting that clip to it's right place.
Sorry I can't provide the instructions to do this right. I don't have any idea how to remove the plastic bottom piece.

Sorry - It is all packaged up. Not much to see, just on side and corner lifted a bit from the side. You can see small metal tabs that must clip in, but look rolled over on mine. It may have come like that for all I know.
now im interested on how to remove the plastic bottom part of the phone..
Hi everyone,
I am seriously considering buying the Moto Z2 Force as a replacement of my old Moto X 2014 (I still love it but my screen got a bit shattered one year ago:crying.
The only thing that is holding me back is that screen peeling problem I heard of. So, after reading some threads I would like to see how spread the problem is by proposing you this survey.
In case you had the issue, it would be very useful for me to know how you solved (got a replacement, removed the shutterproof screen protector, ...?)
Thanks a lot!
Here I am, replying to my own survey!
Unfortunately, not as I would like to...
I bought it and on day 2 I noticed this issue https://youtu.be/KfEjQWtvckQ which is how everything starts I suppose...?? So, I think this will be a "In the first month case".
Now I have to think of what to do:
Keep it and wait for it... (what then?!)
Send it back to seller asking for a refund => Buy another model, other brand (It would be really sad though)
Send it back to seller asking for a change with another one (what if the new one will have the same issue?)
Removing somehow the screen protector and the glue (any tutorials? Will it void the warranty?)
Any suggestion is much appreciated
Thanks a lot
I knot sure what that video was suppose to show. But to me it showed nothing of importance.. I have had my z2 Force for about 2 months with no issues.. Use a screen protector or a case with one, and you should have zero issues.

The video is supposed to show a problem with the shattershield screen where the outer screen protector lense is detached from the inner layer.
Some people on Lenovo forums reported screen peeling issue after experiencing something like the video shows.
On the same forum, some other people claim they had a screen protector on when the peeling started.
Anyway, I contacted Motorola Support and they:
Confirmed that if you remove the outer layer, the warranty is permanently voided for the whole phone... Not good
Suggested me to refer to the seller for a substitution since I am in the first two weeks after buying the phone
Still deciding what to do...
I tried the tempered glass screen protector I ordered.
It doesn't adhere correctly on the top of the screen but especially on the bottom, near the fingerprint scanner.
So, the screen is not perfectly flat.

I purchased a Otter Box Defender, and that might be why I have no issues.. On my G5 Plus I had a Otter Box commuter and a screen protector and they worked well as well.. If your nervous about that pone, best bet might be to replace with a different model.. I sure as hell would. Good luck.

Here I am, replying to my own survey!
Unfortunately, not as I would like to...
I bought it and on day 2 I noticed this issue
which is how everything starts I suppose...?? So, I think this will be a "In the first month case".

Have the same issue and can hear that. But it seems to be normal. I can push in the screen a little bit. I think it's not the original foil of the top, which is pelling. I think it's hearable because it's plastic and elastic. I can see (by screen on) that's not the foil while I'm pressing the screen in. It's more the complete screen. Would it be the foil, I wouldn't see what I see by pushing in the screen. Plastic is easly elastic. That's all.
Here is an update.
Yesterday I received the other plastic screen protector I ordered.
It fits perfectly, since it's not as rigid as glass.
Since many of you have the same "clicking" noise while pressing the screen, I think I will try to use it in the next days to see how it goes. I have some weeks to think about keeping it or sending it back to the seller.
Hope everything will be ok, I'll keep you updated

It's not the foil, right? That's the plastic which is"clicking". I'm short-sighted and I'm pretty sure that I can see that's just elastic at the bottom. Looks so that the foil is ok and 100% save on the screen. But it's nice to have a elastic screen :laugh: No scratches after month. So, don't need a screen protector. The quality seems good. It's like wings of a airplane. Elastic, too And there is all ok, too. Normally

I am not sure it's the foil or not... However, I don't think is the screen which is moving, that's probably more a refraction effect. We should ask to those that removed the protection layer, if they where experiencing this and after the removal it stopped.
Foil or not, if the "clicking" sound is so common even in devices without peeling issues, I will give it a try.
I just need to use it, only time will say if it was a good idea to keep it :fingers-crossed:

Screen is moving down at the bottom, for me it's 100% so. And if I do it carefully, I can see it without hearing it. But yes, would be nice if anyone can test it without the foil. But, I can trust what I see, all real. So, it's the plastic. Hope anyone else can confirm this.
Another problem, what I have seen. I have burn in at the bottom. The navigation buttons keeps/burn in. Now I have set up the moto fingerprint navigation and it should gone next time. And that's really good. Works very well. And the space of the screen is now bigger, nice effect.
But, good to know with the burn in. This smartphones are made for a short time, maybe 2 years. On my computer monitor I have never seen burn ins like that. So, it's a market/business. Screen not made for working over years
And what really is very very good is the battery. Have last time good 8.5-9h sot. So, that's better than many people think.
But back to the screen. That's the topic here. Maybe we have to bring it to the repair center after 1.5 years. Maybe because burn ins, peeling and so on. We will see
If you guys do the warranty replacement through Motorola and not your carrier they will send you a new moto z2 force with a 2nd gen screen if you ask em about it. They have a fix for it lol I just got mine back and it's totally different

Ok, maybe I have a newer one. Here no scratches after months. Foil ok. Just the clicker at pushing. You don't hear that on your device? Which versions are 2. generation, after which produce date?

What am I supposed to be hearing on my device lol? And idk I just personally call it a 2nd gen screen cause it's easier to explain it like that to the people that I live around in my area ??there not to bright lol. I do know it's not the original shatter screen stuff that was peeling. it honestly was pretty hard for me to understand what my moto agent was saying to me when he explained it so I only caught bits and pieces. My model number is still xt1789-04 TMobile variant. I don't have a clicker also
