i just hope verizon offers the extended battery with an option for the white door when the 16gb drops.

it looks like it doesn’t have the texture of the stock one. I actually might prefer that, if it is indeed the case

freaking de javu, i just got the cimo tpu gloss white case in the mail yesterday for my gnex from amazon, took 2 days to ship, it fits like a glove and a lil bit thinner and less bulky than the white android cruzer case i got.
they also have black and clear (see through)

Here you go:

If that doesn’t work just search for “Cimo TPU Gloss Case Nexus”.

You mind putting a link on here? I’m on amazon as I am shopping around for a case and I cant seem to find the exact one you are talking about. Thanks!

If you use a guide, like ifixit, opening is easy. I’ve replaced the digitizer on my fiances d2 and two different ipod digitizers, its not as difficult as it seems. Just need some small tools. I dont know if kellex would be interested though. I will make a post on the forums for droidlife though.

I don’t think I would trust myself to perform such an operation. I would probably be left phone-less. Excellent idea if you’re used to this kind of thing. I assume it would be the same for GSM and CDMA. If you happen to successfully complete something like this, write up a how-to and submit to DL. I would love to see it done.

These same people that sell these parts from china also sell the whole shebang, battery door and rear bezel for about 32 dollars. With a small phillips screwdriver and a spudger(or good fingernails, guitar picks, etc) you can change it out yourself, and still have 32 gigs. These aren’t usually subpar parts either. When an order is put in they usually make extra to account for testing and defects. The unused ones then get sold on chinas “black market” and some make it to ebay. a lot make it to ebay for the i515 since its only useful and sold in the USA. I plan on getting one myself and changing mine out once the white versions start showing up.

I think the trend is going to pick up steam. In manufacturers eyes its:
1. Increase I/O performance and simplify for the 85% of users who could care less or
2. Allow choice for the 15% that care

Yeah and the difference is pretty substantial

SD cards slow down OS I/O performance. That’s why they’re going away
