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.

    I am aware that I’m not advertising for them by asking a question about this here. I just thought it would be funny to censor Google and Pixel as if they were swear words. It’s fine if you don’t share my sense of humor though.

      You’re not the first person that unnecessarily censors words, you’re just the current one that I’m calling out. Other people do it with “Reddit”, for example. I think it’s just childish and poor communication. I just want people to say what they mean instead of this. Honestly, regardless of your or anyone’s point, if you can’t use your words, I immediate write whatever you have to say off.

        Eh, I get you now. Maybe it was not such a good idea to censor words on a place like Lemmy where everyone (except lemmy.ml admins) is so against censoring words.
