I ordered mine on 7/3 and it shipped on 7/4. So it has been 10 day and I have not received it yet.

Ok so i just received my white middle housing and back cover from Dealrepairs. The middle housing isn't packaged as nice, there is a minor scratch on one of the side, barley noticeable, but a scratch non the less. The interior of the housing is dirty, not sure if dark spots, which can be wiped clean. The power button is included, but it looks like the volume button is removed, since the sticker holding it in place is there. No sticker on the camera lenses (inside or out). The battery door is nice and clean and matches up nicely.

overall I am satisfied with it, since the price is cheap. But from a quality perspective the German one has it beat, its shipped in an anti static plastic bag, all the sticker to cover the lenses, no scratches...et; but it'll cost $86

So where should I place a order if I want a complete housing, including the buttons?

I think your best bet would be to order from rb-sales.

I ordered mine last month and it arrived promptly within 7 calendar days from Germany to Nevada.

Thanks, but that's way to expensive, ~ $90?

If that's too much for you, then go search for the white phone housing on Google or eBay, buy the battery door on eBay for ~$30 or however cheap you can get it, and deal with not having white buttons. Also, buying components separately like that could lead to your battery door not fitting up to the housing. Sure you can spend less than everyone else did, but don't come posting in here because something doesn't sit flush.

You certainly get what you pay for when you by from rb-sale-s on eBay, quality.

Just got back into town and I'm about to get everything swapped out on my Nexus. Here are some pictures before I get started, for those of you who are wondering what you exactly get when you order from rb-sale-s on eBay. As it has been mentioned before, everything is packaged nicely, bubble wrap and everything, plastic covering the entire housing and battery cover, as well as.... DA DA DA DAAAAAAA!!! (Zelda sound effect for when you open a treasure chest) VOLUME AND POWER BUTTONS!! I was glad to see such a quality housing and battery door. Refer to the pics below:









I will get more pics up when I get the housing on my Gnex and all that cool stuff.

I also thought I'd mention this idea, if there is enough people who are interested in purchasing housings, someone might want to start a group buy for these things so you aren't paying $70 a piece for these things.

UPDATE:

BOY OHHH BOY IS WHITE BEAUTIFUL!!! Got everything installed in about 10 minutes. Just remove the screws underneath the battery cover, and pull the housing away from the screen - no problemo. Everything fits nice and snug, not one creak or loose spot because something doesn't fit right; everything is perfect. No joke, it took me longer to send "****tay" pictures from my Blackberry to my Gnex than it did to actually swap the housing. Mechanics 1 - Technology 0

On to the pics: (again, sorry for the quality, corporate America doesn't give a h00t about a nice camera on your Blackberry)
