Hi guys. I am new on this forum. I got my note 3 a few days ago. Did anyone else notice little points on some places on the bezel? Came like this out of the box. I returned it to the store and got a new one but the finishing of the bezel was much more worse then the previous one. Its a shame that for a phone this expensive it has poorly finishing. Also will a click on flipcase damage the bezel even more if you take the phone out from time to time? Oh well its a phone and for usage...

Thanks for the feedback.

seems the bezel is easy to get damaged! a friend of mine droped his phone about 20cm on the (very fine grained and paint-sealed factory concrete) floor, and the bezel has 2 about 2mm big places where the chrome-like layer chopped off. looks horrible... :crying:

Mine isn't that deep or big to notice all of that.

Mines horrible. Got plenty of scuffs on the top edge showing the black colour underneath. Never dropped it, never lay it flat - not sure why its rubbing off already!

Anyone had any luck fixing these? Bezel replacement, painting chrome etc?

Maybe it's better to remove all the paint?

Mine are minor on different places and taking a picture won't show it well. I asked in a local phone store how to repair it, only way is display replacement since its attached with your display the bezel...

I know this is an old thread, but I just got my note 3 with some very minor skuffs on the top right of the bezel. You can not feel them with your finger, and you have to be in very bright light to see them. I looked at a friend of mines also, and it had the same skuffs on the exact same place. I guess this happens in production.

I had two from the time my cat thought my Note 3 would make an excellent toy and threw it off the table (I bought an Otterbox after that).

Fixed it with grey metalic nailpolish. Also lackered the entire bezel with blanc polish to prevent the rest of the bezel wearing off. Cost me a total of about 10 quid. Quick, simple and no need to replace anything.

Soemtimes you have to think a bit more like a woman We do this with fake silver rings, too.
