Is there a protective sticker over the camera glass I need to peel? The other stickers on my glossy white model were so tight and hard to peel off, it almost seemed they were part of the plastic body. There were no tabs to pull either. Was wondering if the glass over the camera was a sticker or not...

On the VZW model, there is a blue sticker around the lens that comes off.
Thanks Devs. From my VZW G2.
Hello,
Since i'm constantly wondering how thin with a case i can go, I thought it would be interesting to hear what did it take for you to crack LG G2 Screen.
Did you use a screen protector? Tempered glass? Case? (tpu, hybrid...)

I had mine in one of those ultra-thin 99p cases from ebay (the ones that they claim are 0.3mm thick) and no screen protector. I dropped it while getting out of the car (so probably only about a 2 foot drop), and it landed perfectly face down on some slightly rough concrete. It smashed the screen up fairly badly. To be honest I'd call it bad luck - I reckon if it had landed at any other angle it would have been OK, or at least not badly damaged.
The best protection for your screen comes in the way of care and handling of your phone. As far as cases go, I prefer the tech21 d30. It's relatively thin, and has impact resistance built in. It has also, a nice rudge surrounding the screen, for face down protection.
Hi,
I have my 6P now for two weeks, and for the looks I'm rocking it only with a screen protector and a white carbon dbrand skin.
So I am pretty careful with the phone.
The problem is that the phone already shows signs of wear, to be more specific:
It already has notches in the plastic between the screen and the camfered edges.
The plastic seems to be very soft. The only possible scenario where I can imagine to picked up the notches is while having it in a car holder(also made out of plastic).
Does anybody else has the same problem?
Can you post a picture of this issue?
wish i could help but like above pics would help as don't know what it could be. Been naked and then to dbrands and have no issues
I can confirm these issues. I'm on my 4th RMA because of this issue. My first device has a chip on the plastic piece by the power button, second device had what looked to be the mate finish wore off and a dead pixel on the display, the third device had the same thing and a strong pink hue on the bottom of the display, and now I'm waiting on my 4th RMA. By the way if this one is messed up I'm going to stick it out with my first device because the display on this device is perfect! You can also see a big difference in the display from the RMA units. The panel looks black when off like my GS6 but the RMA's I've had looked dark grey when off and not black. The plastic piece that sits between the display and metal seems to be an issue Google is tracking so hopefully it gets fixed. I have a white 64gb 6P if that helps. I did have pics of all the issues because I had to send them to Google for proof but I erased them. Sorry

I have this issue with mine. That plastic strip that goes around the screen got rip or broke in my Nexus 6P is flimsy and is coming off. I had my phone from launch week 1. Does warranty cover this? Is some minimum but for my OCD this issue is killing me.

The plastic part on my phone came from Google with dents and scuffs in it.
I have this issue also.
The plastic is quite fragile. My damage was caused by the Google nexus 6P case...
Have pics but cant post em because first post.
The black rubber like piece between the glass and case is coming off on my Nexus 6P. I've had the phone in the Genuine Official Nexus 6P Leather Folio Case Flip Cover since almost day one, so I'm a bit surprised after about 2years of use Build Number N2G470.
My answer was simple to this. Wanted a black and silver nexus 6p and when I removed the back to change it I noticed how flimsy the plastic was and was dented and cracked in places. So I took a razor blade when the phone was back together and removed the plastic all from around the edges and it now looks slot better. I did try and buy a mid frame before doing this as my LCD was perfect. But couldn't find one. Much better look now and the phone now looks brand new again and my ocd is at bay. Lol.

Doesn't that plastic filler strip (between glass and aluminum chassis) act as a retaining ring to hold in the glass? I have not taken my phone apart, but that thin black plastic piece has broken in several places (with sections missing). I assumed it acts like a snap ring in the groove to retain the glass screen. Am I wrong? Is it just a for aesthetic purposes?
Does anyone know if Google recognizes this as a defect and fixes it for free? Or.... can I remove the remaining pieces and use the phone without it?
It doesn't hold the screen in. It's designed to act as a buffer between the glass and the frame to help stop the glass crack or smash if you drop it. It's actually part of the mid frame attached to the glass. Mine did what yours did, hence when I put the new housing on, I trimmed it down with a razor blade level with the rear housing and it made it look so much better, while still doing good the job of helping stop the glass from cracking when dropped. To be honest, once a case was on the phone you couldn't tell anyway, also Google doesn't see it as a defect, just part of wear and tear. I tried a defect claim and they said no as it was damage I had caused, even though mine happened from taking it in and out of my spigen case on a few occasions. Hope that helps.

Also, you need to slide a slim pry tool between that plastic and the metal frame to remove the back. It's not in a ridge its part of the midframe of the phone.
I screwed up out of fear and bought a cheap plastic cover. The case ended up the grayish stripes on the black metal back (ones above the camera).
How to remove those scratches?
Buy a new phone? If they are really scratches there's nothing you can really do.
U serious?
It's what 0xTJ says, if it are really scratches nothing you can do about it
I just had the rear cover of my Mirror Black 6T replaced and I'm convinced they've bodged it - the glass back now has a protruding edge all the way around, almost like a glass screen protector would feel. I don't have another 6T to compare it to, can anyone provide a closeup photo of the edges of their phone backs to show that it should be fitting flush with frame/body of the phone?
here is my phone, the glass is pretty flush with the body
