How to make less slippery w/o cover? - Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime Questions & Answers

Love this phone. One minor complaint is slippery side/back.
I don't want to use cover such as TPU case that will provide traction. Any suggestion?

Search a skin for your phone.

Thanks for the suggestion. But as I said, I don't want any skin/cover that will make the phone bulkier.

Use skins, cases, double-sided adhesive tape or live with that

So how exactly do you expect to make your phone less slipery without adding a skin?The only other ways is brush the back of your phone with a metal brush or sand paper, or wear silicon gloves.

Silicone Case for Sprint Touch Pro, Anyone?

https://www.bargaincell.com/product_58372_4296.html
http://www.wirelessground.com/stproskyellow.html
i'm looking for my HTC Touch Pro by Sprint.
anybody have experience with these two silicone skins? or if it's bad, do anyone have a recommendation for Sprint HTC Touch Pro? i just bought generic silicone skin and it sucks. the rail falling off from the silicone and its just useless junk now. sorry for my english, i've come from Indonesia. Thank you
I don't know about those two for sure, but the one I had was a pain in the butt to get out of your pocket. It also was really hard to push the power button with it. I will not buy silicone again. Seemed to protect it well tho..
i got one. they are crap!

I agree that It makes it difficult to take the phone out of pocket.
In spite, I love it. I tried a hard case, which made the touch screen work in a funny way. I wish, some shields were out there which wraps around the edges. Then there would be no need of extra casing.

Camera scratches easily? Fixable in any way?

I have a small mark on my Camera already, and I've been handling my camera with extreme care this whole week/weekend thus far. I already have a pretty small scratch (not across the lens thankfully?) and I have no idea how it happened! Been moving my phone around very gently.
Is there anything I can do about the tiny scratch, or do I just have to live with it? I get pretty OCD about small things like this, so I need to make sure there's nothing I can do to try and remedy the scratch before flipping out.
Thanks everyone.

Relax. You and everybody else's phone will become dinged up. You are carrying it around with you all day everyday.
You can use the kickstand to keep it off the table or desk and use a case or pouch for carrying.
Use a liquid lens fixer like for glasses.
I cut a little piece from some old cheap screen protectors to cover mine. I'm sure there is some effect on the picture quality, but no current phone is going to compare to a Cannon anyway.
Resisting Lens Scratch
You can always buy a thick rubber washer and glue it around the camera lens. If you do not want to glue it, you can place it in between the cover and the phone. The solution is not fool proof, but it will work nicely to provide extra cushion and space. This solution is easy and cheap. The washer should not be to tight or small in diameter, so it does not interfere with the camera.

Placing a rubber washer between the battery cover and the phone, would not do anything to keep the camera lens from resting on the surface that would scratch it.

I was thinking something along the lines of this. Basically you just need a ring that rests around the lens.
Something similar to this comes to mind. Of course, you wouldn't need to have a new lens on it. Just a piece of metal.
This could be magnetic, or glued. You could probably rip the phone apart and replace the piece with a more protruding piece to do the same, but that's far more intrusive.
I'm sure we'll see commercial magnet like solutions for this. I mean, come on. A small magnetic ring is all we need. Someone is going to bank on that.
Or how about using hoverboard technology so the phone never touches anything, and hovers in midair? Geez people, buy a case.

Why cover the entire phone with a case when you can just put something around the lens?
I don't like cases. I think these devices were made to look and function in a certain way. If they "needed" a case it should have been built more robust.
I've had an iPhone 3G with no case for 2 years. I've also had no regrets.

It was sarcasm. I too, like mine naked, the way it was born. I have a leather case on my hip to put it in when I'm not using it. Jabbing at the fact that people actually want an accessory to attach to the camera lens ring just to keep it from touching another surface and getting scratched, like there should obviously be a market for that. Anyone that anal about possibly scratching a cellphone camera lens... I'm surprised they EVER pull the phone out to do anything at all. (again, sarcasm)

Haha yea. It's a camera on a phone... My DSLR is in it's nice cushy case. My phone will reside, albeit tightly, in my pocket.
I put mine in my pocket up until today, when I got my HTC leather hip case. I got tired of the pocket lint getting in the earpiece grill.
Tip: use Scotch tape and a blunt tipped object to get the lint out of there.

It's nice and snug. There's a hole on the bottom for your fingers to push the phone up to take it out. Magnetic flap, no metal button or anything, so no worries about phantom scratches. Stays close to the hip as well, and doesn't feel oversized or anything. Tight enough on the belt that I don't worry about it falling off.
Cool. I'll definitely check that out then. Thanks.

The one I have is from Sprint online: Part Number CFH2258R
I got a case for mine simply because I've dropped my iPod touch a few times and I'm pretty sure it'd be damaged by now if it didn't have a silicon skin, the EVO's camera worried me as well... The silicon skin Sprint sells seems a lil' bulkier than it has to be tho, and the button bumps aren't as defined as they could be (my iPod touch's skin actually made the buttons easier to press, quite the opposite here). I'm waiting for a different more glossy/smooth skin from Amzer to ship before I decide if I'll just go naked or what...
i found cameraphone lens protector circles at a store called daiso near by me. works great

Replacement battery cover

I hope these come out soon. I really dislike how slick the entire phone is. When trying to have a phone conversation, and trying to rest it on your shoulder, holding it between your shoulder and face, it slides right out...
Same here. TMo was suppose to start doing the custom printed covers, but they are slick as well. It was 100 degrees yesterday and sweat doesn't help when you're trying to silde it open one handed either. TMobile has a rubberized shell for it, but it was way too bulky.

Yeah, I meant to mention those "skins" too, I am not a fan of those. One of my praises for this phone was it's slim profile, and adding one of those skins would make it just that more bulky. I like the material on the back of the Droid.
I like the battery cover on the back of the original MyTouch 3g, other then the fact that it slides open way to easy...

Have y'all looked into eGrips. Might be worth it for now.
Well again, those I am not a fan of. First: I am not sure how those attach, and if it is simply a stick-on, I'd hate to have it leave a residue when you go to remove it. And since it's a cover on a cover, it starts increasing bulk. If someone would come out with a replacement cover, just in a different material, I'd be happy
Edit: I also don't want something that would make it a pain to slide in and out of my pocket... those super grippy type covers do just that. They're great at keeping them in place on a car dash, or on your shoulder, but it's likely going to turn your pocket inside out, leaving you open to being bum rushed when the change falls out of your pocket.

Eh, maybe I am old fashioned, but I hate headsets more than the battery cover I rarely use the phone in my car, so I see little use of the headset. Actually, I only use the headset when listening to my music.
OH, which BTW, if you used Subsonic, now you can browser your server using the phone's browser since it has Flash support, no need for the Subsonic app Maybe I'll post that in the apps thread...
The phone is great but it is way to slippery.
I was thinking of maybe taping off parts of just the back cover and spraying on a product called Plasti Dip just to give it a thin rubber coating.

I'm very familiar with plasti dip, and thats not a bad idea...
I put on some ghost armor on my device. It makes it a little more slip resistant. It was at one of the mall shops at a local mall.

Agreed on the slippin slide. I have a bench seat in my truck so i have to keep a t-shirt on the seat to hold my phone in place. (while streaming pandora into my stereo!)
So since gel skins have YET to show up at my T-mo store... I have been contemplating how to spray paint it or rubber coat it... If someone is bold enough I would love to see the photos.
Here are the potential problems
1. the holes in the back for the speaker.. we can porbably just poke them out with a pin after spraying.. hopefully it still looks pro
2. i started to pull off the front plastic and it seemed like the plastic screen cover was connected.. not sure if I want to mess with that... but it might look lame if the front doesnt match.
Possible anti-slide solutions...??
- some sort of stick on rubber tread that looks cool??Maybe if we find a cool piece of rubber tread that is made to stick on or we glue it one it could look cool and stop the damn phone from sliding.
p.s. my dream would be for someone to make a metal cover like the nexus (no i dont want a nexus I just like the finish that looks like an adults phone) with rubber tread lines built into it.. maybe I need to find a manufacturer. ..
I hate the slick back cover as well, i miss the cover on my G1 its the non-slick bio-hazard one. just the type of grip makes it great to slide in and out of pocket, less scratches, easier keyboard slide out.
Its too glossy for my taste i have to wipe the whole phone when im done with it for the night to make sure the finger prints are gone, gets annoying.
i'm looking for a nice matte cover as well, i hate the slickness(i dropped my phone because it slid out of my pocket). worst case scenario i might grab a replacement black one and sand it to a matte texture.
I am about to spray it with a satin black car trim spray... and if that doesn't work the next step will be a rubberized spray I think... Will post if it doesn't look like complete garbage lol
Well I hate to get ahead of myself but here is my rubber coated battery cover.. I am still waiting so patiently for it to completely dry. If what I used works then I will post a photo how to . Hang in there!

What product did you use on that, and did you tape off the holes or just poke them out with a toothpick type device?

Sand back cover for grip

Ever notice how the back cover of your phone is very slippery? Has anyone tried to lightly sanded the back? I think I am going to try it.

Put a strip of duct tape on it instead. That way you won't ruin the cover, and duct tape will make it stick to your hand!

The slippery back is the main reason I got a case, but if you dont want to run a case I would try something less permanent before sanding the case.
First thing that pops into my head is 'grip tape.'
maybe some more like this would tickle your fancy?

This is perfect. Im gunna lightly sand mine with some 1200 grit auto just to take the gloss and make it flat. If it doesn't look good I'm just gunna buy a rubberized back
Edit: I just sanded it. It looks and feels pretty cool. I little bit more grip. In a month I will probably buy a new back

Seems to be out online, but eBay has them.
I ordered the blue and green, because from what I read (on other forums) they have totally different textures.
Almost dropped my phone twice yesterday, so hopefully I'll be done with the slippery plastic cover soon...
While mine are in transit, has anyone else used the rubberized battery covers yet?
Thoughts on them?...

I have the rubberized back (green) for my atrix. I personally love it more than any other case. It doesn't add bulk since it's just a replacement for the battery door, and it's grippy enough that it doesn't slip out of my hands. Best $15 I ever spent.

I wish they had a same size battery cover as OEM specs that had a rubberized coating. The ones mentioned in a previous post look like they wrap around the sides of the phone and have queer colors. Plain black would suffice my needs.

The best option would have been the Motorola Droid/Milestone rubberized backing.
The battery door was durable metal on the inside and rubber on the outside. Also extremely easy to open and close with metal hinges.
The Milestone just SMOKE the Atrix in build quality, sadly the specs are a little outdated otherwise I wouldn't be looking to upgrade it...
I am thinking about trying the 1200 grit sanding idea and then painting the battery cover white. Any thoughts on this or what type of paint to use? I am relatively new to modding, painting, etc. and want it to look as clean as possible. I'll planning on following it up with a Zagg Shield. Thoughts?

How I FIXED the slipperyness of the HTC One m8

I usually don't like to use cases, bought one for the m8. It made it bulky so i found a sleek way of gripping it. No company made griping product, just plain ol' electrical tape.
You can style (cut) how you want for your preference. I put it there because of the bottom three fingers that grip that part of the phone. It's sleek, none intrusive, actually does a very good job gripping. I can shake it and it will stay put. Photos should be attached. Tell me your thoughts

Lol... It is a bit of an Americanism & joke, although one that is seated in truth...
Duct tape in America is used to affect many repairs, from simple tears in paper, to re-attaching bumper to automobiles & securing trunk lids (what the EU calls the boot). It is used to make or repair wallets, shoes & even for furniture repairs, not just for attaching ducting to plenum boxes or GRD cans.
The joke comes in because it is said that a redneck (slanderous term for blue collar worker or laborer) can fix anything with duct tape, & that if it can't be fixed with duct tape, then 'F' it, it's broken.

This may work well if you live somewhere cool year round, however, if you live anywhere its fairly hot and/or humid during the summer - then you know what happens to electrical tape. When it heats up - you lose the bond, then the tape will slide around leaving a sticky, slimy mess all over your phone/hand/pocket. Just a heads up for anyone looking to do this. If your phone lives indoors, however, I'm sure its a non-issue.

Not sure if u also considered the fact that phones can heat up. My m7 gets pretty hot sometimes like when gaming and charging (probably shouldn't) don't know if the m8 heats up though but then again where I live its 110 during summers, was 107 this week

Does the Xtremeguard back skin wrap ONLY around the back, or does it wrap around to the sides as well? I'm ideally looking for a skin that ONLY covers the back, which is for some reason surprisingly hard to find with the M8. Most skins wrap around the sides too. The idea I had was to use it with an edge only bumper case, and when a skin wraps around to the sides, it interferes with the fitment of the case. I had a aluminum edge bumper + back skin on the M7 and loved the setup.
