[Q] Remove markings made by case? - Nexus 7 Accessories

Hi, this is my first time posting here since I got my Nexus, so excuse me if it's in the wrong section (I felt this belonged here more than the Q&A since it has to do with a case).
Anyway, there have been markings made by my case on my Nexus 7, and since it's made of some soft rubbery plastic, I have no idea how to get rid of it. Pictures attached (The wedge beside the "n" in nexus, and part of the case where the wedge pops up from).

Any ideas?

If they're compression or abrasion marks there's not much you can do. If it's a loss of gloss, a vinyl protection product might help, but might make it slippery.
If it's that unsightly you could look into one of the many vinyl skins found on eBay.

I just ordered the Van Gogh, Starry Night for my diamond, but there seems to be over 100 types for diamond alone..
The search here returned nothing, so I'm asking, has anyone got it? If so, how is it? What's the feel of it? Does it glide easily on your hand?
Just received it yesterday
Though the wallpaper borders don't match exactly
Overall, not bad, I think
I no longer have the 'sticky' back surface with fingerprint identification built in
Much more pleasant to hold
Are there also ones with flat backs?
recieved mine today; still not mounted.. will make photos when done.. the stickers are already flat, so you can mount it on a xda or mda as well.. only the edges are cut to fit the diamond back.case, but that won't matter too much i think.

Cheapie case from Target

I was looking for SOME kind of belt case for my Streak (until real accessories are available) and I found this one at Target.
I ripped out the clear DS slip cover from the inside and put a few drops of gorilla glue about 2 inches down the side (the long side) of the zipper to keep it from opening too far... just so it is used as a slip case.
When clipping it to my belt loop via the caribiner it just looks like a "tool case"... It isn't the best, but for $10 it will do until something better comes along

Very innovative, some good information to know. Unfortunatley though everyone will think you are a ds junkie.

Custom Gelaskin

Has anyone done a custom skin for their incredible from Gelaskins.com. I recently got a groupon deal for $30 in Gift cards for $5 so I'm going to go the custom route and upload images to try to make a really nice skin image that matches the contours of the phone. I was just wondering if anyone else has tried this.

I did, it was a nice little (somewhat) protective addition.
Likewise, though a fair bit of warning: they cover the light/proximity sensor. You'll have to carefully cut out a small square with an exacto knife to regain that bit of functionality.
Here's the one I designed:

apparently uploading degrades quality quite a bit...
I also made a sweet dock over last weekend I'll show off. Very easy to make.

StickerBoy wrap

Hey guys. Just wanted to show you all what I decided to do here. I have the Samsung Clear View case in silver/grey for my White Note 5. I really like it, but the case being a shiny plastic scratches up like a mother just by looking at it wrong. Especially on the back. So I decided, why not get a skin for it? I have used stickerboy in the past, and they are having a Labor Day 25% off deal right now so I ordered a "leather" skin in pewter color. I did have to make the cutout myself around the camera hole. Turned out pretty good, but not perfect. Otherwise I really like it and I don't have to worry about it scratching on the back at all any more. Plus it adds grip which is great.

I've tried one similar (if not that actual one). It was pretty awful. Felt like plastic, scratched immediately just wiping it after application.
Transparent ones will lift at the edges if they go all the way out and it'll look awful, just fyi
had the same, waste of money, looks awful, feels like compressed plastic bag. payed two months ago 9€.
at the edges you will become small breaks in it and it looks like your phone screen is broken at the edges.
if you want a gadget that makes your 450$ phone look like trash you should buy it.
