I have two questions regarding physical mods I want to make to my DNA.
1) I really want to cut off the plastic cover on the micro-USB slot. My concerns are that I'll have an issue returning it if it breaks (I went through 3 Thunderbolts in 2 years), and I really don't want to have a little rough piece of plastic sticking off of the phone. If I'm going to cut it out, I want it COMPLETELY gone. So... has anyone done this? I'm thinking about using some needle nose plyers and just trying to pull it all the way out/off rather than cut it. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
2) While I like the flush buttons, it's a real problem that I can't feel the volume rocker on the side and push it up/down by feel. I have a similar issue with the power button though that's easier to find since it's right on the top center, and also because I'm usually looking at the screen when I press it so I can see when I've had success. The solution I'm thinking of is to maybe attach/glue a very small tactile bump to the rocker switch top and bottom. Something very small. I have no idea what to use or how I would attach it so thought I would check whether anybody had ideas on how I might do that, or some other ideas for adding tactile feel to the volume rocker.
Best,
Randy
