First post so be gentle
Okay, after 5 months of owning the device, I have already dropped it

Basically, I was sending a text message, and I got back to the car. The device literally slipped out of my hand, and fell 4 ft face down onto the concrete... I quickly picked it up, and was dreading the result, thinking I would've cracked the screen. Fortunatley, I didn't. The metal/plastic bezel took the shock of the impact, resulting in 2 scuffs to the lower front of the device, and a sizeable dent/chunk missing on the top right corner..

Now, I was wandering, apart from a new bezel, is there anything I can do to reduce the size of the marks/dent? Or anything I can do to make them less noticeable?

Tbh, i'm really devastated, and I'm just looking for a way to cover up/ reduce the appearance of these marks... Pictures attached

Cheers

Matt

Ive done the same thing, dropped right out of my hand onto the sidewalk, & i have scuffs around the same place as you.

Unfortunately theres not much u can do about scuffs/scratches, besides buying a new housing

Yeah, Just annoying to see them! The top one, which is worse, doesn't look as bad when using the handset, as it is right on the corner.. But the ones to the lower are more annoying as they are ALWAYS visible. I'm considering a new housing, just waiting to see if theres any other ideas to hide/mask over the marks!

you could get a skin, then you wont notice them, and if you have a soft touch a little clear nail polish (WHEN DONE RIGHT) can hide some scuffs

You can get a case for it and it will be covered up....

Fubaz thats not a bad idea too-- also to the OP do you use any type of case/holster?
If not, its a good investment for the future, its saved my BB from MAJOR catastrophes lol

Yeah, I was considering that, Was just wandering if there was any other solutions

Yup, I use the magnetic pouch that came with the phone, just when I dropped it, I had taken it out of the case as I was sending a message... Just wish I hadn't bothered now!!

The 3 things you can do are get a case, get on with your life and forget about it, or get a new housing.

please note when using the clear nail polish, avoid too much on the brush, you more so want to fill the gashes rather than brush over them.
if you get zealous you will get the nail polish everywhere

good luck
