You can replace the front cover and the battery cover. There are tons of them on Ebay. The battery cover is easy to replace of course. As for the front cover you just have to remove the 4 little rubber covers and undo the torx bit screws.

Do you have any recommendations on what is the best tool for removing the four rubber covers to avoid scratching the phone?

If you remove the screws from the front of your Motorola 551 or 505 you will void your warranty!

great phone, but scratches wayy to easily

with the silver, when it scratches it looks terrible- i think that the silver is just painted on or something because it comes off easily
