So this pretty much settles the argument about the speakers being glued on inadequately. If that were true, the speakers covers would have flown off instead of being gouged like they were. (Looks like kitty is going to perform another drop test off a patio table)
Try Mr. Clean Magic Eraser on the yellowish parts, unless the stain has sunk in.
I was one who made that claim. I would like to point out that they could have changed adhesives, or could have changed the application methodology.
More likely I think - and I'm surprised this possibility didn't pop into your head - is that this fall didn't land on the edge at an angle that would tend to put the adhesive into peel or sheer stress. Maybe it landed in such a way that the gouging force was pushing the grill into place.
I'm not trying to continue my argument that the grills are inadequately glued on. For all I know HTC has addressed that. I'm just pointing out that the gouges on this phone don't prove anything.
