Anyone know if the outer front shell of the bionic is really metal our just painted plastic. I want to take the verizon logo off but won't use a solvent like mek unless it is really metal instead of plastic

feels like plastic.

If anything it's painted metal.

I wanna say it's plastic, but it feels incredibly smooth like metal

If anyone bricks the device or something where it's damaged and they're getting a warranty replacement, they should... *gasp* key scratch the area and see for sure.

I remember reading on the Crackberry forums a year or so ago that people were removing the AT&T logo from their Torches by using a penny. For some reason it was always stressed to use a penny, but I don't remember why that was. Everyone who tried it said it worked and left no scratches at all. Don't know if it would be the same with the Bionic or not, though...

I just tried this method with the penny and it does the trick...not a single scratch either....i'm impressed...:grin3:

That's good to know. Glad it worked for you. I bet there's going to be a lot of debadged Bionics here very shortly

Walk around the mall/parking lot/look under your couch, find a penny, place penny heads down (this is VERY important lol), gently rub back and forth for 10-15 secs and PRESTO, you now have a SEXY Bionic

Does it matter what year the penny is?

Pre-1982 works best

 

[chefb]

Actually No, its some kind of hard plastic with what looks like some kind of enameling on it. I know this weird but, take your teeth and kinda rub on it...lol

Hey I just tried it and it works. Thank you
