Hi I've been trying to reproduce this phone and am having difficulty with the plastic/clear piece of the dial.
Could someone recommend a material/shader for this?
Thanks

With shading and lighting you have to strike a balance, try spreading the hilight more and lessen the transparency and reflection.
