White Nexus S skins

Hey so I stumbled upon this site tonight.
http://www.uniqueskins.com/Products/Samsung/Custom+Samsung+Nexus+S+Skin?t=c
They seem to sell really cheap bit high quality skins for the nexus s. I was thinking about buying a full white one and turning my nexus s fully white. Anybody want to give it a whirl and yell us how it goes? Ill do it pretty soon but I gotta wait til I get back from a trip.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure you won't get a "fully white" Nexus S because there will be some gaps when you apply the skin (due to Nexus S' shape -- something like the pic below.)

The best coverage you can get is what Best Skins Ever / Ghost Armor can currently achieve.

Definitely post pics please. I'm very very interested but I'd like to see it on someone's phone first.

I want to know how the front will look with the capacitive buttons on the bottom. When you design the skin, it looks like the front covers the whole bottom...

Anybody get theirs yet?

Thought this is interesting. Are these removable? Will it leave residues?

mine has arrived, i didnt design the front, so it was just white. I did however apply it just out of interest. It looked ok, perfect fit, but did cover the capacitive buttons (which still worked)
The back is really just a very well placed sticker, with a second part to attach to the 'chin', which i didnt bother with.
All in all, as you can see, it looks pretty good, and i will be ordering another darker one, this was just a quick test really

can you take a picture of the front? I'm curious to see how it looks.

I'm afraid I took the front off already, I'm ordering another soon and this time I shall design the front and show that as well.
It fit perfectly but was white and didn't show the screen at its best, and the screen is one of the most important things to me!

Asus fixing the Nexus 7

It seems the next batch or CK8 of the nexus 7 would be delayed because of "manufacturing delays" according to John Lewis's website
www.johnlewis.com/231697911/Product.aspx?source=46387
Does this mean the manufacturing process has been reviewed; no screen lift and dead pixels

No. It probably means they can't keep up with the demand.

Keep a watch on the trim ring in any new production run... I do think they will eventually make it metal, which will probably be enough to prevent it from being pulled down by the cover and exposing the glass on that side ("screen lift"). That's a cheap fix and would be hardly noticeable to most people; they wouldn't need to change any marketing or anything.

My Nexus is fine, no dead pixels, no screen lift, nothing. Absolutely perfect. Although when I unboxed it it already had a fingerprint on, I suppose they were checking them...

Same. No issues at all.
Ive seen this same stupid retailer mentioned multiple times already, by the same person, and every time it gets the same response.
"Manufacturing delays" is just the retailer's way of saying "Its not our fault this thing isnt in stock" aka ASUS cant make them fast enough to meet demand.

Now that I think of it...my had fingerprints on it as well...I didn't pay it any mind as it was still factory sealed.
I wonder if they are unboxing them at the factory and checking them.

I think this whole rumor of Asus fixing N7 started with this some random online store John Lewis in Europe said so. For all we know this random site could be just BSing us because they don't have N7 in their inventory.

Where did both of you get your tablets, from the play store?
Because I've gone through two from Tesco, both with screen lifting and the replacement even had dead pixels, after that I got a refund and the lady at the till said that there's been a lot of returns because of a defect.
I really need this tablet because it's great, I just need to know where the "perfect" ones are

Strange they are not using gloves on the factory

I bought mine from Tesco Direct and have had no problems with it.

No complaints
I ordered a 16gb model for my wife last Tuesday, it was delivered Thursday.
No screen lift, flickering, no MIA pixels.
Only complaints is for some reason only about 15 for her 50+ Gmail contacts show up in her People app, and she can't seem to get the Google News and Weather widget on the N7. Hopefully big G will make it compatible.

Manufacture defect in our screens? Internal Dip?

The day i got my Galaxy S4 i went straight to charge the device. I left it on my nightstand which is under a window and when i saw the reflection of my blinds through the screen, they where bent out of shape and the reflection looked distorted. Looking closer, the screen seems to have a circular dip in the middle left-ish area. All the devices I tested this do not have a distort. (iphone 5 and 4S, the SIII)
I'd like for everyone to look at there device and make sure they don't have this also. I cant check the devices over at carrier stores, abit busy sadly...
I've given a Sample of lines that u can use as a test and also left a quick video, ill try to make a better one but its all i could at this moment. Also its extremely hard to get it on a video vs what u see in person =/

Best way's too test are as follows.
1) place your phone right in front of you on your computer desk and look at your Monitors reflection. It works extremely well when you look at Lines or a lot of text.
2) Look at a bunch of stuff that's well lit.

yeah the screen works and looks fine. But im just worried still. ill be visiting Bestbuy and a sprint store Tuesday see if its a universal thing. If it isnt, could save some people in there 14day return time-span. Especially after seeing this thread you never know.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271880

Man, I have exactly the same problem and the easiest way for me to see it is to have a reflection of a fluorescent tube on the black screen. It's ugly! This doesn't seem to be a universal thing, though, because this is the first post I have come across since I found out about the distortion problem. Did you find out anything at Bestbuy?

My first galaxy s4 had dead pixels, my second galaxy s4 had scuffing all over it, a large scratch on the MICRO sd card port, overheated and would constantly shut off, followed by the display that completely died a day later. Sprint advised me to give the HTC one a shot. As soon as I got the HTC one home, noticed paint run off, gaps between panels, dings, dents, pretty much the poorest quality control standards I have ever seen. Now I have to find away to get sprint to allow a FOURTH return on a 600.00 device. I may have to get mean, I dont like to act that way, but what sprint has put me through to obtain a working 600.00 high end device is not acceptable, I would not wish the experience I am going through on my worse enemy.
Im not picky, and I understand mistakes when they happen. But two damaged/defective S4's, and one damaged/defective HTC one in matter of 7 days? I really cant even believe it.
All I buy is Samsung products when it comes to electronics, never in my life have I EVER received two defective units in a row. I feel like a crazy crack addict every time I go back to the sprint store and request a replacement. If sprint didn't have a 14 day satisfaction guarantee, I would be out 600.00, because there is no way in a million years samsung or HTC would take responsibility for scuffing or damage to the body of the device. Even with sprints 14 day satisfaction guarantee, you are only allowed 1 device exchange. So basically, im entitled to nothing with this issue, and any day sprint is going to show me the door or refer me to Asurion for a 3 day old 600 dollar phone.

Screen Discoloring?

Aiming for that 3500mAh, thinking that I could get a monster battery life out of it, and.... I am being stupid by getting the phone on eBay.
Well, let's say that the screen is fine when the brightness is above 80%. However as soon as the brightness is lower than that, the upper right hand corner of the screen with a radius of 3cm, and partially the whole right side of the screen appears to be blueish. Closer look reveals that the blue pixels are brighter than the rest.
Questions: any solution to that? I found the app "Filter Your Screen" may be helpful, but I only want that part of the screen to be filtered.
I recognize the noisy "filter" of the OLED display, so don't start that on me, I am only looking for a solution or "fix" for that blueish color.

Keep the brightness at 80%?

At the expense of the battery life? It's like taking the material from the east side of your house then fix the west side of the house.

I keep my brightness maxed 90% of the time and I would consider myself a power user. Flex battery life is phenomenal. One of the reasons is because of the screen.

It's long lasting, but I reckon if the brightness can be lower without compromising the battery life AND without the discoloring, that would be better.
I have a Droid Maxx on my way, should be here tomorrow. I shall donate the device to a dev or sell it at a super low price to help the G Flex community.

That's way cool. You could try one if the dead pixel repairs apps though. Maybe they'll shock it into working right

How does this work?

I am trying that software right now. Wow that is making me trippin'

Due to the nature of the new flexible screen tech used in the G Flex, there is always going to be some discoloration, graininess, and image persistence. Think back to the first AMOLED screens in the original Galaxy S. Its the price we pay for walking around with a mass produced engineering concept.

My Nexus 5 is warped!

So I just noticed with my phone on a flat table...my phone is warped, like two diagonal corners touch the table and the opposite diagonal corners are raised. I tried it on multiple level tables and even looking at it by my eyeballs without the case on it looks warped like a piece of hot metal!
I don't know how or when it happened...the screen isn't cracked or anything, nothing looks or acts strange even.
Check you phone...is it warped?

Are you sure it's not the camera?

I'm not sure I understand....laying it flat on the table, screen side down, the entire physical phone itself is warped

Placed my facing downwards, and there's no warping. Have you been leaving your phone exposed to the sun maybe?

That sucks to hear. I just tried it with mines and its perfectly flat.

MIne's the same way, noticed it when I first got it and put a case on it. Nothing wrong with it otherwise and I've since forgotten about it so not sure why people are saying they're sorry.

Could it be that your table is warped and not the phone?
