Any kind of matte/protective spray for keeping keys from becoming shiny?
« on: Thu, 13 April 2017, 13:40:48 »
Bought a phone with a matte physical keyboard and have read the keys will become shinier with use over time. Is there a spray one could apply to keep the matte finish, or perhaps something that could be re-applied to prevent wear in the first place?

Nothing beats Mace in the eyes. You don't see or care about the shiny for a little while.

I don't really think there is anything you can do.. I mean how long is a phone going to last before you wanna upgrade it anyways?

Blackberry Passport Silver Edition. I'm not looking to change phones anytime soon so would rather keep it a similar condition. Otherwise I'll just put up with the increased shine, though I'm kinda surprised there aren't any kind of consumer matte coatings one could apply to boards (in general, that is).

That good feeling of oneness with cup rubber :p I have to wonder how many souls would even buy such a thing (first I've seen of it), though the SE also happens to feature a different shape/dimensions.
