Get them while they are still free. Just pay shipping. $2.85 each.
Since I'm a Magic owner, thought I'd share. Dun feel like posting this in every single forum for the phones that they have.
I also submitted the news to the XDA Portal in hopes of attempting to let everyone else know aswell.
[edited] they include 2 full guards per order, incase you mess up putting it on. If you don't you've got a backup. Pretty cool of them. Plus they offer lifetime replacements.
Thanks
Just placed my order, thank you.
Issue
When I place my order, the final step, I get this: Transaction cannot complete:
The transaction cannot complete successfully. Instruct the customer to use an alternative payment method.
Any Help?
Thanks for the info btw!
EDIT: Got it fixed and made my order DDD
i just placed my order. thank you very much
placed an order on thursday but has not shipped yet, has yours OP?
I placed an order on the 11th (wed) and it didn't ship until the 16th (mon). Not super quick but I can't complain for $2.85. I'll try to remember to post what I think of it when it arrives, but I'm not getting my hopes up too much.
I already ordered 2. Thanks for the info.

well I'm disappointed. Thr skins themselves are of very good quality however some off the skins I received were perfect while others were not.
The Magic and Evo skins were perfect.
Some off them were cut so close to perfect but ever so slightly to large which made it impossible to set it correctly without trimming it back after install else it would lift when touched. Thr arias was this way.
The nexus one skin however, wasn't cut properly. You can see were it was supposed to be cut, but it wasnt cut all the way thru so there is just an outline were the cut should be.
I guess it's hit out miss with these skins. Hows everyone elses?
Still haven't got mine, whats the shipping time on these?
I ordered 2 about an hour ago. I can't wait for them to arrive. I am hoping they are somewhat as good as invisibleshields. I will post a review when I get it and then again after I have had it for a while.
A lot of people on other forums are saying the shields are complete crap.
Google "stealthguards scam"
thanks a bunch, i just got one. that was a great deal.
I got mine yesterday, and i love it! the back part of my phone hasnt competely cured yet, so there are a couple of small air bubbles, but if thode dont't go away, i'll just poke a hole and squeeze the air out.
i got them in 5 business days.
where to order?
How did these covers hold up?
Hi guys,
So technically I'm on my third HTC One, the first bulged at the USB port with a scuff, and the second was opened in store and had similar bulging so I refused it.
The third seemed good, and so I took it. I went home, set it all up, checked for bad pixels and it was grand. So i set it up, installed all my stuff, unlocked the bootloader and rooted etc.
So, dial forward a week, and I notice a brighter spot on a white background, right on the edge of the screen, on the left. I'd guess its a few pixels, as it is kinda triangular, and bigger than just one I believe. Using a pixel tester tool, they only show up on green (looks more white) and white (looks brighter), not on black, red or blue. So, I'm guessing its a group of sub-pixels.
It's one of those things - it doesn't bother me that much except I know its there, so I get drawn to it, particularly on white browser screens. I've briefly tried a pixel fixer app but it didn't fix it. So, I need some advice really, I love the phone now that I have (had) one that was perfect, but this has disappointed me. I'd hate to get back into a cycle of more returns for more issues like overhang, camera etc, if they even have any in stock. So, has anyone any advice on a possible fix, as that would be the best solution?
If not, given I've unlocked the bootloader and rooted and stuff, am I likely to encounter some resistance trying to exchange this? I got it from Three, and I intend to call round to them shortly to talk about it, but wanted some advice first.
Thanks for any help,
Matt
If it isn't too annoying I say live with it. You'll get used to it eventually.
If you replace it again there's a good chance you'll get one with a worse problem.
Replaced
In the end, I went with the replacement - sat in the store and checked off a list of the common faults I've seen haha, from aluminium quality to video hissing!
Think I've finally got a great one; it had a different batch number, HT32WW, as compared to HT338W for both the previous two. Very pleased! I can hopefully now relax - bar any more sudden dead pixels!
I'll add that Three were really great about it, very apologetic, I dunno why they have a reputation for poor customer service, maybe their call centres? Anyway, yeah, kudos to them!
Anybody saying live with it is a total idiot. Its like buying a car and saying it has a crack on the window but live with it. If its broken, change it! Its free and you deserve a problem free device for the price.
Yeah, and given that attitude I had Amazon send me three devices in a row, and none of them is free of dead pixels (no gaps etc. nonetheless). If you're going for pure you might have to stay strong to finally receive the one you've been waiting for .
So i just got my note 4 yesterday and I love it been an android user since the og droid. Anyways here's the deal. I didn't have money to get a screen protector since I didn't get paid till today. Thought I would baby the phone till I could order one from Amazon but today i scratched it by accidentally putting it in my pocket with my old phone still in there( baggy sweats so I didn't notice).
Well I preordered a note 4 but went in to another store and they had one in Stock. Just checked my email and they just shipped my preorder. Could I open the package and switch sim cards without it triggering a change in phones? It's not a terrible scratch but it's an inch long and it's driving me crazy. Thanks in advance for any help. Just switched from Verizon so I don't know how tmobile works.

All the phones have embedded IMEI code numbers in the phone itself as well
as on the bar code label and that's the very first thing Verizon or or any other
carrier checks when you turn in a phone or return a phone for any reason.
If the IMEI number is different than what they expect it to be you will get
yourself in a lot of trouble, they will either not refund your money or bill
you for the full price of the phone if it hasn't been fully paid off already.
There is no way to change or alter the IMEI number.
Good luck!
hmm please clarify if I'm wrong but you want to swap your scratched phone and put the scratched phone in the new Note 4's box and return it. Am I correct?

As bad as it sounds yes I'm trying to do that. I sort of feel justified to do that because when opening the account they ported my number to my wife's phone and i had no cell service.
I heard if i put a screen protector on it itmight hide the scratch a little bit but it's killing me that my 2 day old phone has a big scratch on it.
Ouch, you're just begging for an onslaught of hostile replies, aren't you?
Here's the thing, you can't switch boxes, you can't switch phones in boxes, you can't switch IMEI's, and you're probably not going to be able to return a phone with a scratched screen, but ethics aside, there's always a very slim chance if the rep is distracted. You could always try faking Tourette Syndrome if you're really that desperate, but it seems like a lot of work for the slim chance of a relatively small payoff.
The screen protector they will almost for sure take off before scanning the phone in, but that idea did make me lol (thanks for that). You might have to live with it or hope that it isn't too noticeable with the protector on and use it that way. Don't mess with switching phones though if you want to avoid embarrassment in the store.

Glad i was able to make you laugh lol. I was wondering about the screen protector for myself not to notice, not tmobile since it looks like i have to live with the scratch. I think i notice it more because I'm looking at every pixel of that beautiful screen. Too bad i didn't sign up for jump so i can trade it in for the note 5.
Ok here's my last resort before I'm stuck with it lol. Wonder if i can return it before the 14 day grace period is up and just get the nexus 6 when it comes out. Has anyone done this successfully before? I know I'll have to pay a $50 restocking fee.

The issue isn't returning and waiting for the Nexus, you can always do that, the issue is trying to return a phone with a scratch on the screen. The re-stock fee is just for opening the package, it doesn't cover damage. So really, the best answer you're going to get is either try to sell it on eBay - if there's no financing on the phone you could likely get close to what you paid, especially if you're willing to sell internationally, or, just take it back into the T-Mobile store and hope they don't notice. If you're really that determined and they refuse it, try taking it to other stores. It's not really ethical advice, but that's really your only option. Personally I would be way too mortified at the idea that i'm going to walk in, look the rep in the eye and expect him/her to take the phone with the scratch, it would look pretty shady. I would just sell it on eBay. But obviously it's up to you.
you scratched it, you own it...coming here asking for ways to pull a fast one isn't welcome, nor wanted...
Well, as entertaining as it would be to watch the onslaught here, this thread is going to be closed before it gets out of hand.
That being said, what you are wanting to do is not only immoral, but also illegal and unethical. No matter what screw ups you had to endure when they swapped your devices there is no justification for what you are attempting. This is equivalent to buying a new car, wrecking it, and returning it to the lot claiming this is how you received it.
You damaged the device, intentionally or not, and you must deal with the consequences of that action. Your carrier can hold you liable for the cost of both devices, in full, if you actually attempted to pursue this, not to mention having legal grounds to get you for fraud.

Hi all. I was using my Nexus 6 per usual earlier today, on the home screen when it began to glitch out. I could see what my homescreen was but it was warping with lines, and then the screen went completely green with horizontal lines across the device (pic attached). I called Google, went through the troubleshooting and confirmed it was a hardware issue. Screen is still green in bootloader so definitely not software. I am wondering what could have caused this. Unfortunately I bought mine through Sprint so Google was unable to send me a new one, and Sprint is closed both today and tomorrow, so looks like I have no phone over Christmas. Any help would be appreciated and hopefully Sprint will give a new one without hassle.
Bad news for sure.. Looks like a bad phone and should be no issue getting a replacement.. Now the real issue is will they have one on hand?

Hopefully they do, I called Sprint the first week the Nexus 6 was available from them and went in the same day to buy this one. The vibrator on this one is also very noisy and I read that varies from device to device. Hopefully a replacement will give me better luck on that too.
Well I left it untouched for a few hours and the display works 100% again. Not sure what the problem was and if it'll show itself again. Maybe a bad display connection.
Use it until Friday bro. Then take it in and ask for a new device. It happened once, it will continue and get worse. Be sure to bring pics and tell them you went over troubleshooting with Google etc.
This is why I always keep a backup phone, right now my Note 2 is my backup phone just in case of something like this. Also I know Motorola's are not built as well as Samsung phones, which is why I bought insurance for my N6, I probably would not have bought insurance if I would have bought the Note 4 but I wanted something different and im happy with my N6.
Hi all, yesterday my beloved shamu was knocked out of my hand at a party straight to the floor, resulting in a cracked glass and display, with lines of green shooting up and parts of the display going black, eventually the screen just gave up, I'm very upset
I've replaced a screen before on a phone, a samsung galaxy s3, and that went fine, so should i replace my screen, or just put up with having the S8+ I've just pre-ordered a few days before this tragedy
After using Wugs toolkit to record my screen and see my shamu still alive under the broken front, it really tugged my heart strings (I know it sounds lame but this is by far the best phone I've ever had) and has really got me considering spending out almost the cost of a used Nexus 6 to repair it
I've found this website for the UK for replacement parts
https://www.replacebase.co.uk/motorola-nexus-6-replacement-lcd-touch-screen-original/
https://www.replacebase.co.uk/motor...cd-touch-screen-assembly-with-frame-original/
These look like pretty genuine parts and are one of the first search results on google, does anyone else have a source for good parts or are these the best I'm gonna get without shipping for so much money because it comes from the US
I'll have enough money next month to be able to buy this screen and not worry about the cost of the part, and the replacement isn't hard as long as I've got the right tools.
I planned on still using my shamu even after i got the S8+ to take on trips etc and just a second phone just in case, i was also going to use it to go running and basically as a work phone
So what do you guys think, replace the screen and risk messing it up, buy another Nexus 6, though i don't feel I'll love it as much, or just go with the S8+ for everything?
Thanks all

Hello,
Ordered a HTC one m7 a few years ago and 2 LG G2 from this site: https://www.etradesupply.com/catalogsearch/result/?warehouse=0&q=Nexus+6
I don't know about shipping rate from USA, but from China to France it was $15. Nice packaging and no problem with the screens. The 3 screens looked 100% OEM. Display quality was also on par with original screen.
There is also https://www.parts4repair.com but I never ordered anything from them.
I can't speak for Samsung phone was as I simply dislike those. Nexus always gave me the best freedom and customization.
Cheers...
