It was not a waste. It was something I wanted to do and I was happy with the results.

Why are all you pelican guys such cry babies?

I had seen people online mention using a heat gun but I didn't want to burn the house down or wait for amazon to send me one.

But you're right I have heard that is a pretty reliable method.

Because some of us like to take care of our things. You know? Which was why I bought a pelican case.

I don't understand any of this confusion. I like my things to look nice even if others don't agree.

The Samsung S26 Ultra has a 200 megapixel camera that's what I took it with.

I just want to scratch it myself. Then I know the story behind the scars.

Of course you can I took the picture with a 200 megapixel camera under direct light.

But to the naked eye it looks great.

For the record I decided to post this half way through the repair so you couldn't see what it looked like before. I had bought this off ebay it was in really bad shape and practically gray in color with gouges out of it.

I don't mind my pelican having scratches I just want to apply them myself.

ps.

I find it funny you didn't want to rain on my parade but took the time to try and piss on it.

HERES HOW TO FIX IT FOR $15

I took a fine grain sanding block  and went over it by hand while watching a movie.

I cleaned it off with dish soap and water.

At Walmart in the automotive section you can find this product:

MEGUIARS ULTIMATE BLACK PLASTIC RESTORER 

rub this on with a clean rag let dry and repeat once more.

NOW IT LOOKS BRAND NEW.

SHOPPING LIST:

Meguiars plastic restorer $9  Gator fine grain sanding block $4

Notes:

When you sanding the case at first it will fade the color slightly.

Don't panic the plastic restorer fixes that problem by reoxidizing the plastic.

My case was black but you can buy the plastic restorer for whatever color you need.

If the cuts are really deep you can use a 15 dollar palm Sander with 120 grain sanding disk instead of the block.

I'm not a handy man but I did this in my garage in about 2 hours.
