I just noticed this when i was cleaning my phone my phone.

There is a mark on the self-portrait mirror on my W800i which seems like the silver part of the mirror coating has chipped/weared away. I have attached a photo i found on the internet which shows the back on the W800i and marked the spot using a paint program.



I haven't used anything harsh to clean my mobile surface and just wondering its purely to wear and tear using the mobile. I have also noticed some very minor scruffs around the inner rim of the sliver around the writing part but it's not really noticeable.

I don't use the mirror function that much as i don't like taking pictures of myself, but would there be anyway to able to cover the self-portrait mirror wear with something that non-damaging to the phone and can also reflect or shall i leave it as it is? Would it wear away any further and get any worse as this is what i'm worried about.

Regards,

An idea came in my head for a way to cover the damage part of the self-portrait mirror.

I brought a silver permament marker and carefully went over the damaged part and now it's not as bad as before but still noticeable. I guess that will do as a temporary measure!

But if there any permament suggestions, let me know!

Regards,

Yes, it will have come from general wear and tear, probably from putting the phone on tables etc. and if it's slid across a table, even if just slightly when picking the phone up.

I'd say the only really permanent way is to put a new mirror piece on the phone, or a new back cover.

I'd personally not worry too much about it, it's inevitable that you get some scratches and marks from day to day use, part and parcel of using a phone regularly I'm afraid!
