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.
You don't have to like Google or Pixel, but we're all adults here. Grow up and use your words like an adult. JFC, you're not advertising for them, you're asking a question about it.

See how hard that was? Hell, you can even follow it up with, "Google Pixel phones suck and Google is a terrible company." Censoring words for no reason is so fucking childish.
i mean, i have never in my life seen this case anywhere. until i saw your comment i thought it was some shitty startup manufacturer trying really desperately to become a βcoolβ brand. but i guess thatβs not far off from what google is. makes sense that they would design something this tacky
The words on the case are dumb, and OP's question is valid, but I hate how the question was asked.
ah, yeah i see what you mean!
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.
I donβt know why everyone is losing their shit over this. Do whatever makes you happy.
ikr
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.
