Hi. When I got a new phone a couple weeks ago, it came with this really nice, name-brand (not giving names here) phone case. It’s really rugged and feels great on the hands. It’s also one of the most premium phone-case options out there.
Unfortunately, the case is plastered with the text: Pixel. The only phone engineered by Google. I really don’t enjoy being a walking advertisement for Google, but leaving such a great case lying around is quite a pity.
So I wanted to ask if there’s a way to remove the text that would not damage the case itself?
The case is made of TPE plastic according to its packaging. I thought about just scratching it off cause it does seem to be some kind of layer on top of the case, but I’m worried it won’t be removed cleanly and might even leave behind scratches.
Is there another way? Is there some kind of solvent able to do this job?
Here’s a closeup if that helps.
Thanks!
Edit: I have decided to uncensor the words.
That looks fairly tightly bonded to me–you’d probably be better off trying to cover it than remove it. There’s maybe a solvent, but without knowing which compounds are used for the lettering and the case, it’s a shot in the dark–always worth trying isopropyl alcohol for this sort of thing imo, but it also might damage the case.
Unrelated, but the random blue “AI” slapped haphazardly on top is a beautiful piece of accidental comedy given That Company’s rollout of AI
Thanks, I’ll try out IPA on a less obvious spot to see if it damages the case and if it removes the text. If that doesn’t work maybe I’ll just live with covering it with my fingers. I agree, the “AI” is funny.
Duct Tape or any funny sticker with good adhesive would do the trick.
