I ordered my nexus on Friday of last week and it did not ship until late Monday and ups delivered it yesterday(early, thanks to them). When unboxing it, I noticed they there were clearly 2 pieces of tape on each side as if it had been opened and resealed. My nexus has no problems whatsoever (except for the flickering, which is minimal and from previous devices should be fixable with software). I actually see no reason for this to have been returned and think that perhaps Google is opening the devices to verify good ones before they send them out. Anyone else received recent devices with two pieces of tape?

There were several owners that reported the double tape phenomenon. These owners were not luck as you though and reported one or more of the common issues.

Ah I've reread your op and I understand that the seal was broken or tampered and was hidden by putting another tape over it
Had a quick look at my box and didn't find double tape. Maybe someone did a check test during the last production line or had to reopen it to put the right adaptor or other stuff in?

As another (potentially redundant) data point, mine had one piece of tape on each side, and I only had to enter my password as well. If people are getting boxes with two pieces of tape on each side and one has been slit, then perhaps there's something there.
Or not. Who the hell knows anymore.
Mine was in the nexus sleeve, slid out and a plain black box with 2 black tapes- tough to cut.
My question is why would you give out your credential info online so someone can preprogram it in???
It makes it easier to setup and btw, the pre-loading a google account doesn't open the box (they don't have your password), they link it to the device's serial number and when it boots up, it automatically loads your data after you input your password. Or so said the others in the last thread for this issue. -Ara

ah, there is definitely a wear problem there. looks like the sliding mecahnism is scratching the paint. that's too bad, i really like this phone. my guess is a replacement will do the same thing. maybe some protective tape around the bezel will fix the issue.
I have had mine for a little over a week, use the keyboard for everything and dont have this issue.
I can see a spot where the screen slides its a little darker than the rest but does not seem to be removing the paint or anything like that.

i ran my fingernail over the area and it's definitely scratched. the question is the durability of the paint. i've only had my phone since Friday evening of last week and i'm already noticign the wear.

I'm using the snap on case for the holster, and I know when I slide it out, I can feel some dragging.
With it off though, smooth as silk.
I never put a case on my phone. Why take away the beauty of it. I have insurance and warranty if something goes wrong or breaks.

Yeah I'm having the same issue. I've had it for about a month now, and a while ago I would hear a scraping when the phone opens. I noticed there are two clips underneath the screen that probably help the phone STAY closed/open. This is where the scraping is for me. Mine is pretty bad at this point, now have silver lines about half a cm thick on the back of my screen. Pretty sad. I know the OG Droid had this issue after alot of wear and time, but this is early. :'(
Do you carry the phone in your back pocket? looks like compression scratches.
No. Only had that current phone for two days before i noticed it.

So dropped my nexus 4 and broke the screen. Looked in the states 150$ + shipping at least another 50$.
Came across a website in Spain. Screen ( lcd + touch ) for 79 euros and 7 euros shipping to Canada !!! The package left the 19 of February and arrived the 25th Keep in mind shipping was only 7 euros !
Here is the web site:
http://www.spareslg.com/catalog/category/view/s/nexus-4-e960/id/16135/
They upped their prices by a bit. Instead of 79 Euros it's now 86... still a very good price tho
If you are like me and dropped your N4, this is a good website !
Too bad they don't have the N4 USB daughter board. Nobody does. I need it to fix mine.

Hey guys! I have noticed that when I press at sides of my nexus with my fingers, color on screen fluctuates (changes). I've checked at locka computer store and displayed model has same issue. For example, my friends galaxy tab 2 10' don't have this problem. I always care about quality and this irritates me. How is it in Your nexus, does every one have the same issue ?

My 7 has no quality issues. No color problems arise by pressing on the screen (or course I don't smash it with extreme force), no screen lift, creaks, rattles or groans. For $250 I couldn't be happier. I've even dropped it (albeit never a severe high drop onto extremely hard surfaces) with no scratches or damage.

It took decent force for me to see any change in my screen, far more force then it would receive during normal use or under game play.

This was already discussed here weeks ago. It is not unusual for accessories makers to put these listings up on Amazon. Most likely they won't even start producing them until they get a Nexus 5 in their hands. They just try to get the early press and pre-orders before others get their products out.

Hi!
Could you post that picture on an external site? Would really like to see, if it resembles what my pebble does, but for some reason I've had problems with pictures and files stored on xda (~pictures that appear as thumbnails).
Anyways, what mine does: at random, the text gets a lot smaller and then it's certain, that it's soon going to slow down, then crash, and finally reboot - have had it under a week, I've had only one full charge, but I can't see how long my pebble lasts, because it reboots and that starts the up time counter again. I'd say it does that once every day or two, and when I flash wachfaces, -apps a lot, then more frequently, then also the flashing stops with half a loading bar and says everything is completed, but nothing happend on the pebble
Hope you understand what I meant, as I once again ended up just rambling on and on!

Go to eBay. Search for "pebble watch screen protector".
I've had most luck with ones marked xtremeguard or sshieldz, but even those tend to peel at the corners after a month or so.
Avoid any that only cover the square screen part of the face.
Be cautious about the colored/textured ones. Some of them only cover the colored part and leave the screen unprotected.
