Galaxy Nexus Housing

---

I have slight scratches on my nexus I don't know for the life if me how it happened... I want a new phone or new housing, but I'm afraid that the housing isn't OEM. The repair is easy, but the parts have to be OEM.

Go to eBay and search for "Galaxy Nexus Housing" and you'll get a bunch of different results from different sellers, and they all hover around $43 for the kit (titanium housing and battery door). And about $16 for just the door.

I've already taken the leap about a month ago and picked up what I thought was OEM housing just in case, but upon very very close inspection and looking at where the battery doors connect, different manufacturing markings, and where the plastic was put together, I've decided that its not OEM.

Therefore, I'd like all of your opinions. Please and thank you.

These people sell oem housings, but I don't see any for the GS yet, just a dummy phone.

ugh, just got my galaxy nexus yesterday and put a case on immediately (the verizon rep that was porting/activating my phone put it on). today, i took off the case and noticed three hairline scratches! what the heck? there's one on the top right of the phone where it curves, one on the top left of the phone where it curves and one from the oower button to the battery door. so very strange....

it could just be the plastic molding, its fairly cheap.

Guys, the hairline "scratches" on the corners of the phone are not scratches. They are where the plastic housing was molded. Every Galaxy Nexus has these. Even the demo model at the VZW store had them.

Does it invalidate the warranty, fitting a new housing? I can't see any warranty stickers that appear to need breaking to undo the screws?

it's common sense that this will void the warranty if it's done by someone other than a authorized repair service center, whether they will noticed it's done by you is another situation.
