[Q] where to find limited edition back covers? - Nexus S Accessories

Hi all,
Interested in purchased a NS limited Edition back cover for my NS.
Wouldn't mind if it is a knock-off, as long as it is a high quality product.
Looked on ebay and found nothing.
Anyone got any links that I can purchase one?
Thanks
Heeter

Sameee id like one too.

Hmm, not sure about an official source for these. But my phone actually came with the limited edition (with the little Android logos all over it, right?).
I didn't really like it, and was able to buy a warranty-replacement original cover. I have one of the Android covers right now sitting on my desk that I wouldn't mind getting rid of. PM me if you want to try and work something out.
That actually makes me wonder if Samsung's warranty support stocks any of the Android logo covers. You guys might try calling in and giving that a shot too. Make sure to tell them you want a warranty replacement for your current cover though, otherwise they'll just tell you they have none for sale and to get lost :]
EDIT: PM cheerfully received! I'm assuming this means that my Android logo back cover will, very shortly, no longer be available.

PM sent, Bro.

I would LOVE to get my hands on one of these if any friendly T-Mo/Samsung/hooked up people would be willing to part with one. Please, please, please someone let me know if you have one available and tell me what I need to do for it.

Same here...I rock a naked Nexus w/InvisiShield and would LOVE to show off that wicked backside cover. Thanks in advance...

I'd just like to reiterate my edited post to indicate that I no longer have a limited edition back cover. I sent it out to Heeter pretty much right after I posted.
I don't mean to sound rude, but I've gotten numerous PMs by people who apparently didn't bother to finish reading my post and it's a little out of hand.
Again, it's no longer available. Sorry :[
Maybe Heeter will sell you the one he bought

Ha, Ha yeah right!!!!
No way, hanging on to this one, big time!
But I do know how you feel, sosquidtaste, I put my car up for sale last week, and I fully described the car in detail in the ad, and they still ask me if it has the feature or that feature when they call.
Read the whole thing!!!
Heeter

Can I get a pm also?

i would love a different back to change and show off... if anyone has one please pm me

I guess no one is going to sell me one of these

Looking for a HTC universal

I do not know if you guys do not like this sort of post but if you do just say so and I will delete it.
Anyway, I am looking for a HTC universal. I am looking at ebay but I thought I would ask here first if anyone has one they are willing or want to sell.
Keep up the great work on it all. I can't wait to have a mini-linux laptop for my pocket

I have one that I bought on ebay last summer. I fell hard for the Polaris so that's what I'm using now. Anyway, I've been meaning to put it on ebay since I got my new toy but time doesn't allow. As much as I love my UNI, it's too huge for me!!! Just PM and let me know...
By the way, I'm willing to part with all of the units listed in my signature except my two lastest, Nike and Polaris.
Yes, HTC has made me become an addict for their phones... I mean computers that can make calls
Talkin' about Universal, does any one of you know, if i can get the outer panel/cover of my O2 XDA Exec replaced. Is there any such accessory available in market ?

White OEM Nexus S Cover

Anyone know where I can get one?
I want one too. The new Canadian Nexus S white back cover is different. It's texturized and doesn't leave fingerprints.
Sent from my Nexus S
I want one too! anyone have a link on where to buy one?
White Nexus S !
count me in on the search. Would like to have one too. =)
Have you guys seen the AT&T version of Nexus S?
Its in ALL white (including the side bezel) and the only part that's black is the screen.
Yah but I think the white side bezel makes it look more like a cheap rubber cover. They made the best combo on the european ones, covering only the back and the buttons in white.
I'be emailed Negri Electronics asking but they haven't got back to me yet. I doubt I'm the only one who had asked
Count me in too! =)

Sorry guys, Negri got back to me and they do not sell the white battery cover.

I won't call them fakes, but just non original items, sometime they are not available as OEM just yet, so a good third party, if it fits, it's good enough for me.
Anyway, I buy most of my phone spares and accessories from china, so i know what to look for.
Anyone interested please pm me, I'm going on thursday, I will not entertain anyone without a pm, if they are available I will pm you back.

Football related backs

Has anyone seen any? The wife would love an Arsenal back for her Note 2.
Manufacturers not seem to be as quick to do them as they were for the original Note. I've not seen any in the UK or anywhere else.
Over a month gone by and still nothing anywhere.

if you want to ruin your phone lol with a arse nal back, have you looked at the zagg custom shields, they are not too bad, we had them on our old phone with pictures of the kids.
all you do is copy over the pictures you want and they make it.
be aware though they dont do the lifetime warrenty on custom shields which we found out the hard way when my desire hd needed repair. but this wont be as much of an issue as the whole back cover can be removed
Many thanks audiobookman for your input. Idon't think I'm going to chance the ones you suggested. I rather wait for back covers specifically made for the Note 2. I like the way you spelled arsenal. Sometimes I think of them like that. :laugh:
Bump. Just in case someone seen any anywhere.
Cheers
Have a look through this part of the forum someone else asked the same question and theres a company doing front and back skins. The front ones match up with a wallpaper. They let you upload your own designs as well as having hundreds of designs to give you inspiration.
I spent a good hour looking at them thinking I'd get one then changed my mind :banghead:

Received Glass Invite... should i do it?

Title says it all...
I got my invite today, $1,500 and Glass can be mine.
I've been really intrigued by glass since it was announced.
I'm not a programmer but a tech. enthusiast who would really like to take advantage of some of the features of glass.
I like the idea of having the navigation on my heads up while driving, as well as seeing messages/emails etc.
So... what do you think... is it worth it, will it come down in price next year?
I can spend the $1500... but SHOULD I!?
LOL.
Thanks all.

I understand. What did you have in mind? Reply here or PM if need be.
got one yesterday as well. ordered for pickup. however if you don't pick up they refund the money to your card. Still debating.......
It is really neat, but it also has a lot of shortfalls. Primarily battery life.
AND It's a lot of money
I got an invite to google glass yesterday, and was also wondering if I should do it. Does anyone know what happens if a new cheaper version comes out? Do you have to buy it again?
Also I can't see why this would be an issue but does anyone know if glass works on phones using custom ROMs?
Google has said that the current XE-C is, hardware-wise, what the commercial version will be. They already allowed the owners of XE-B to exchange theirs for XE-C for free, so if Google did make further changes then I bet they'd do it again.
I am running CM11 and have no issues. I would not expect there to be, so long as the ROM has a proper Bluetooth stack.

Yes it works with roms. Play store has an app that you download to phone, and set up glass that way. You can wifi and bluetooth to your phone for calls, sms etc. I have a note 3 rommed and using them now. IMO- they are not $1500 cool. May be sending mine back within the 30 days... still playing with them

[Q] I got a 50$ N6 but need advise

Ok, So, I found this girl on my local face book and she sold me a Nexus 6 that has a shattered screen for 50$ I couldn't pass up the deal and I did contact Motorola who said that they would replace the screen for 175$ So, I am getting a great deal. The kicker is that I have no clue if it is reported stolen or what. She let me come to her house and assured me it wasn't and that she just didn't have the money to pay the 175$ for the insurance. Anyways, what do you guys think? should I send it in to Motorola? Can they keep the phone if there is something shady going on with it? It is from T Mobile from what she said. But I didn't get anything but the phone. I do have some sign of life. I just plugged it in and a green light came on up top but I have no screen action. The screen is shattered but the rest of it is in excellent condition.
As of now I have the One Plus One and I am debating on which phone is the keeper if everything does work out with it. Is there anyone else coming from the OPO who has an opinion of the 2 phones?
Any advise on my situation is highly appreciated!
Motorola won't keep it, they're not the mobile phone police.
With that said, who is this idiot girl? Why on earth would she sell a $650 phone, even with a crack screen for $50?
That's sounds shady if you ask me. Check the IMEI online and see if it might be black listed. If nothing cones out its at least worth fixing because that's a steal.

Also T-Mobile will black list phones if they aren't gift l bought out right and the account holder doesn't pay for it.
Even with a crack screen and bad IMEI number it's still worth more then the $50 he paid for it.

I don't know why she would do it but I do know a good deal when I see it. LOL! The digitizer isn't working so there is no way for me to get an IMEI # unless I open the back? I hate to invest in the new screen and it be blacklisted. Does anyone know if the IMEI # is located in the device if I took the back cover off? I don't know of another way to check unless I go ahead and fork over the $ for the new screen.

I just ran through a teardown of the N6, and it doesn't appear as if there are any stickers on the inside that would list the IMEI on the inside of the device. It would seem that the only way to know for sure would be to take the gamble on having the screen fixed.
Personally I'd get it repaired and take the gamble. It is very suspicious that she didn't give you the included box, if she did buy it what good would she have by keeping the box?
$50 is not that bad and the repair cost isn't too bad either. Take the gamble and see what happens.

Repair it because its worth the risk. Worst case she senario you will need a new imei but we aren't allow to discuss pushing new imei numbers to black listed phones on XDA but a quick google search could help you should you need it.
What's her Facebook? I'll help you check it out.

I believe you can find the IMEI on the SIM card tray. She should have provided the payment receipt so you could prove it wasn't stolen.

This, then go to http://swappa.com/esn and check the IMEI.
Well, Great news so far. I checked the IMEI # from the tray and it came back legit. So, I am winning so far! Thanks for all of the advise from everyone.
Now, I need to decide if I want to keep the Nexus over my OPO. I love my OPO but have been having an itchy finger to get the N6...We shall see!
Thanks again everyone!
DUDE!!! I have to share this...I called Motorola and told them that I got the phone from someone who didn't want to pay the insurance to fix it. They ran the IMEI # and I pre paid 175$ on a credit card and they sent me a new nexus 6 in the box with everything! Unopened!!! All I have to do is send the old phone back within a few days and I have just gotten a new N6 for 225$!!!Ya baby!!!
I couldn't honestly decide on what phone to keep between the Oneplus one and the N6 so I posted both on Craigslist and I said the first one that sold is the one I will get rid of and keep the other. Within 15 minutes of my post someone bought my One plus 1. So, fate has it that I have an N6! Now time to get this puppy flashed and dialed in. Thanks again !

I came from a OnePlus One, you won't regret it. Yeah the N6 is more wide but you'll get used to it, once you use the N6 you'll wonder why every other phone wasn't wide to begin with. OnePlus One does have better battery life but thats not to say that the N6 can't survive a full day without charging.
But congratulations, nice to see Motorola's customer service is quite nice.

My N6 is rooted and I'm running the Franco kernel for better battery life but once it's replaced the 4K AMOLED screen alone is a big difference.

Yeah your name sounds pretty familiar. I missed the Nexus community and it felt more true to "AOSP" as OPO ROMs/kernels heavily relied upon CM as they had a number of device specific code/commits.
I'm glad you're enjoying the device, a lot of N5 -> OPO -> N6 converts. I probably will skip on the OnePlus Two (or whatever its called).
I made my own custom ROM if you wanted to give it a try, if not then no bad feelings
