    Post Question about RMA Nexus 6P. New or Refurb? Accessories or no accessories?

    I complained that in the email I was promised a new unit but I suspect the one I received is refurbished because non matching box, no labels, and 2015-10-09 manufacture date. Huawei's response is that I received a "host" unit shipped from China and assured me it new, unused, non-refurbished...

    Post Question about RMA Nexus 6P. New or Refurb? Accessories or no accessories?

    Mine was sealed and looks brand new too. Was your phone Graphite to begin with? Did it have any stickers on the sleeve with IMEI, Model, etc? Thanks.

    Post Question about RMA Nexus 6P. New or Refurb? Accessories or no accessories?

    Question... I received an RMA replacement for my Aluminum 64 GB Nexus 6P today. It was supposed to be brand new but I somehow suspect it's a refurbished one. The sleeve for the box had no stickers/labels on it like my retail one. It also had a picture of the graphite model, but inside was an...

    Post Question about RMA Nexus 6P. New or Refurb? Accessories or no accessories?

    My RMA was due to Bluetooth causing my phone to reboot randomly. I should have my 2nd replacement tomorrow, hopefully it's new! I'll report back.

    Post Question about RMA Nexus 6P. New or Refurb? Accessories or no accessories?

    I RMA'd my new Nexus 6P 64GB Aluminium in October, manufacture date June 2016. I received a scratched/scuffed/bent 32GB (May 2015 manufacture date) in return from the 3rd party repair center FutureTel. I was annoyed and complained to Huawei directly and they agreed to send me a brand new 64GB...

    Post Which case is best for Nexus 6p Gold (looks and protection)

    My wife bought the gold 6P and I bought the aluminum. For some reason with the gold 6P, every clear case we've tried has developed a gold stain very fast. I'm not talking the normal "yellowing" normally synonymous with clear cases over time in general. The Huawei clear/frost plastic case...

    Post Diztronic Voyeur Case for LG Nexus 5 (Black)

    I wonder why the glossy lip is always a staple of any Diztronic matte black case? IMHO it cheapens the look so much and it's probably the reason I've never bought a Diztronic case for any of my devices.

    Post MediaDevil Artisan Pouch Review

    Sorry to bump an old thread. I'm looking at this case for a Black Nexus 5. Does this pouch cause the soft touch back to wear out from constant friction from inserting and removing the phone from the pouch? Especially near the bottom where the pull tab makes contact. I had a similar type...

    Is the back a soft touch material? Worried about wear and tear as I like to use my phone in all it's naked glory, but then protect it with a pouch when not in use. I can see taking the phone in/out of a pouch causing some wear and tear on a soft touch material. I used an SGP Crumena pouch...

    Can Motorola get it right in one try? I thought Samsung failed on the Nexus S, but the Galaxy Nexus turned out to be fantastic. I also thought LG didn't get it right on their first go with the Nexus 4, but the Nexus 5 is pretty simple and great (my wife has one). I just sold almost 3 year old...

    I knew that chrome dipped plastic lip would be a problem. If a TPU case is a problem already, I have a feeling any hard snap case will chew up the bezel pretty good.

    I really wish they didn't use chrome painted plastic for the lip around the edges on the face of the phone. The sides look metal and the official Samsung commercial makes it a point by highlighting it as "premium finish", see video below at 29 seconds...

    My experiences of buying a Galaxy Nexus purchased at launch, and then buying another one 6 months later. At launch I went through 3 before I found one that I could live with.

    Post T-Mobile HTC One S in Black instead of Gradient Blue?

    What is that seperate piece on the bottom for? The Canadian versions (Bell/Telus/Virgin/Fido) have it too. I prefer the cleaner look of the international version. It looks slightly off colour compared to the rest of the phone. Stood out like a sore thumb to me.

    The images below are with the GSM version of the Galaxy Nexus with stock battery. Both are made specifically for the phone so you have a perfect custom fit. The UltraSlim is the more slimmer and less bulky option. It takes a week or so of usage to fully break in the leather so that it isn't...

    I'm certain that this is a generic case and not tailored for the Galaxy Nexus.

And from the video, the top of the phone protrudes...
