it would be cool to find the stock matt finish ZTE back with the roboid (although the chinese text might be a bit turn off)

doe's work, the science is, it's soft enough to crumble without scratching, but hard enough to remove it, glad you trusted the science and it's worked :)

Ooh, just found this. It's a matte black back cover for the skate, from a random Chinese site though so don't know if it'd turn up :lol: Branded with China Mobile for $13.99 or a glossy one ZTE branded for $19.99.

Thanks for posting this - my one turned up yesterday and it is MUCH better quality than the standard OMC shiny back.

It is "soft touch" matt black plastic - looks similar to the stock OSF V1 back panel but better quality.

Thanks

Gavin

does it have a "China Mobile" Logo ?

Yes it does

Not decided yet if I can live with it or will try and remove it with a sugar cube (as I managed to do with the Orange logo).

Thanks

Gavin

OK, decided to give the sugar cube trick on the soft-touch matt cover a tentative try and it doesn't look like it will work... :(

I have successfully removed the Orange logo from my standard rear cover without leaving a trace but this one would be much more of a challenge and I think would leave visible scratches.

Thanks

Gavin

i warned you ! :( it wont work on matt ... there must be some other way to remove from matt, but i am not very hopefull about it, because matt means pores, pores which have absorbed the paint ....

Hi,

I was thinking to buy one back cover, and try to paint some draws on the back. But, this is not plastic, anyone know where I can find an original one (preference in white... :-)

Regards,

It is not a big deal to me - I was much more bothered by the feel of the back panel rather than a logo being on it.

As ZTE is a mobile phone from China, it is probably quite appropriate.. :)

Thanks

I was also hoping for the roboid, pity orange did not get those ones.

Mine arrived today, agreed much better than the original OMC case.

i'd give the logo on the matt cover a try gently with the thinnest sandpaper (smth like 1000+ degrees)

i might order two of those and experiment on one, posting results here :D
