R.I.P. it was a good nice and smily phony!

I think I have yours beat! I made a thread about it in the accessories forum about which replacement to get (Red or White) because of it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/accessories/accessories-red-white-nexus-5-t2666040

well this isn't mine but I think it's worthy to show and difficult to beat

looks like someone ran over it, put it in reverse, and went the other way just to make sure.

I did an RMA back to LG. $146 for repair. Received it back fairly quickly. Only a couple weeks without it.

Freaking brutal. Almost half the cost of the phone. Screens must be the highest cost next to the main pcb

This is why I paid a little more and got mine through T-mobile, worst case I'm out $100 for a new replacement or I can use one of my 2 Jumps for the year and pay the tax on a new one.

This is why I advise a case to everyone I know. LOL
And one that doesn't let screen touch the table when face down.
Doesn't need to be a huge bulky case, but anything is better than nothing.....just might avoid these awful picks. With some luck.

I use the LG flip case and do not recall any significant drops! Maybe I sat on it??
Bummer.

Broken AT&T Nexus One

Well my poor phone suffered a fall to the concrete that it was unable to withstand. My screen is cracked and therefore renders the phone useless. I have an extended warranty with accidental damage thankfully tho. Not sure if they are going to just fix mine and send it back to me or give me the money to buy a new one. With that said I just went to Google's site and it says that the AT&T version is temporarily not available. Is this part of Google's new transition or is it just out of stock? I'm hoping it's the later of the two.

Balls. I am hoping so too. In any event, I am sure HTC can fix you up.
Quick question, which phone case were you using when this fall to the concrete happened?
Possibly either that or out of stock? Or out of stock because of that?

Would it make a different with a Solf Gel Silicone case? I'm using the silicone case and it feels like it can bounce really good on hard concrete

Why don't you test it out for us?
However, I wouldn't do it but what do I know.
I used to have a soft rubber case but I had a scare when I dropped it once, got a small scratch near the ear speaker. I quickly ordered the case-mate tough case and couldn't be any happier, this thing is a tank!

Yep, I'm ordering my N1 in 12 days and I already got my case in advance. I got the same case as yours. I got black/black though. This one guy in another forum went with pink/black.. I'm not that man enough.
How did you get the warrenty? it covers drops etc?

This is correct. In the Google support forums, a Google employee confirmed that this was just a temporary shortage and that they would be available in the next few days.
P.S. I just ordered a Tough Case last night. Thanks for making me feel better about deciding to order that

What colors did you go with?
i just checked and you can order an AT&T version on google.com/phone now.
so I dropped my phone about 2 hours ago. Still can't believe it, the AMOLED screen has cracks that run through it, so the display doesn't show anything.
However, everything else is in tact including the digitizer. I guess the AMOLED repair shouldn't run me more than $150 phew.

[Official] Nexus 10 cover from Google

Hopefully this is a sign of more official accessories to come.

If another thread with this info has already been posted (I didn't see one), my apologies. Feel free to merge or delete this if it's the case.
I wonder if its as bad as the nexus 7 one
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda app-developers app
I like it.. But i tend to put my tablet down on random surfaces so i need a back cover as well
Most of the other cases are better thats just covers the screen and is more expensive but it would be nice if google could release a good hard case
Sent from my Xperia Play (r800x)
About Damn time lol
They shipped these covers to some of the reviewers and they seem pretty nice!
If I remember right, they don't work very well as a stand
I ordered one. My current case is a little worn anyway, so I could use new one. I'll post my thoughts on it when it arrives.

Mine came to $38 with shipping and tax (FL).
I always buy the cheap crap and really want a official case, loved it in The Verge review and have waited for the Scarlet one since I saw it... I also hate my Moko Ultra slim because of the back cover, I want a minimal case

It says scarlet... Is it my screen or does it look more bright orange?
I'll order one tomorrow. Really glad they finally are offering it.

Its unreal how long it took for this to come out. What excuse can there possibly be for a 6 month delay on the first official accessory? So strange to me. Looks decent though.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda premium
Ordered the scarlet one too. I'll post some pictures when it arrives. Including shipping to Germany it came 35,98 €. Compared to eg official Samsung covers it really isn't that expensive. The thing i wonder is, if we may see some more accesoires in the near future (dock perhaps)? Hopefully Google has something more to come...
It came to just over £30 in the UK. 3 - 5 Shipping days. Can't wait!
Guys any video for this official case?
Wat you guys recomment, should I order this or get the poetic slimline???
Price difference of 20 dollars !!
sent from seXperia Z - Black
It doesn't cover the back of the device, or the corners. Much better 3rd party cases already available.
I can't believe I waited all this time for what is effectively a flap. It doesn't even fold into a stand!

I like the concept of not covering the back, but I agree it should fold. It´s seems prety rigid, making it even somewhat uncorfortable to hold the tablet. I will wait for some reviews and photos around here.

Same here, its a crap design for $30. I'm going to stick with the poetic case. Id prefer something that just covered the front (im not clumsy) because the tablet is so thin and light and then folds into a stand but this isnt it.

Gear and Google Glass anyone?

I've had a Gear since they came out. Got an invite for Glass yesterday and ordered it. Anyone using them together? Thoughts?
How do you mean used together? Can't they both only really be used with the phone?

Haha, I will be super geek no doubt. I think they can both connect to the phone at the same time. Will have to muster some confidence to wear them in public. I hear the Glass battery won't last long but didn't know if it killed the phone battery. Guess I will find this out in a few days.
I ordered my Glass yesterday. Its going to be delivered Tomorrow. My Glass is charcoal and my Gear is orange. I leave for Boot Camp in January so I don't have that much time with it. Guess i'll have to put them on a shelf for 15 weeks. Maybe I can make a promotional video for Google with the Army's permission. Would make an awesome first person commercial but I doubt that will happen.

Congrats on both accounts.... Proud Navy Dad here!
I ordered Shale (which is kind of a brown color). Status has changed to shipped so I think that means they will be here today. My kids are more excited than I am, and my 12 year old is already mocking me..
Anyway, I hear the notifications aren't great on glass right now, so I guess the Gear will continue to handle that, and I will do other stuff with glass.
On a different note, I've spent the last 3 weeks on the road and the Gear has become the perfect smartwatch. Turning it off at night I have been able to get 3-4 days on a charge so have left the charger behind on most trips.
Works fine. My phone battery is being smashed with all these Bluetooth gadgets!

I thought the price was pretty insane as well, until I got mine yesterday. Its unreal the technology they have created here and I'm sure the production QTY's are so low they really don't see any price breaks from the man. But I feel ya.

So my Glass came this morning and I've been wearing them all day. Very different than what I thought they would be. While the Gear and Pebble are pretty much notification machines, not so for Glass.
It's pretty interesting interacting with it and using some of the glassware.
I've already been through a mild headache and my eyes hurt.
So far the verdict is - I couldn't give up my Gear for anything day to day, while Glass may end up as more trouble than it's worth unless I'm travelling.
There is a lot of overlap between the two devices. I haven't done much with the camera on glass yet, and maybe that is the killer feature.
Yeah, glass won't be replacing my gear anytime soon

I got invite as well and I don't think I will drop 1500 for it. I just don't think it's worth it atm. Really want one though. If it's like $500 I don't even have to think about it.
Just gonna stay with gear for now.

You'd be one of less than 40k people in the world with one...
The killer feature of Glass is using voice actions for everything. Seeing the whole action build in front of your eye is pretty cool. Gotta think the Gear could get there too though.
I feel like there is much more utility to be had from the Gear (or Pebble for that matter) without the need to strap Glass to my face.
wow
wow you can actually buy a Glass now? that's pretty amazing. 1500 bucks though that is quite a price.
To be honest I think that you could do exactly the same functions with the gear as the Glass but then nobody would buy the glass so.. I'll just wait for a custom ROM for the gear. Heck i may even donate 15 bucks for itt haha.
Got my invite also but cost to high figured they would drop some by now. Sticking with the gear until price comes down on glass for sure.

Waterproof case

I've been looking around for trying to find a waterproof case to take in the pool area. Does anyone know of a good quality one? Maybe you own one and can go give your opinion. I have seen the seidio obex case online and seems to be the only one I can find.

Well got my case today, Very Study case.Feels great in the hand. People can hear me fine and I can hear them fine. Two huge cons right now,The proximity sensor automatically trips so as soon as I place a call the screen goes out and to end the call I have to push the power button and then hit end call. And two is the headphone port cover can come loose very easy,And when I mean easy I mean you barely touch it and it pops out. I called Sedio but they are out of the office today and will return Monday. Also they have little dots all over the screen that when your looking at the screen with a light back ground it looks like little specs of water droplets.
I read somewhere those dots are spacers to prevent rainbow effect and other issues related to sandwiching of screens.

What did Seidio have to say?
Mine shipped on 4/22.

Dropped and cracked my phone. what can i do?

So yeah,the unthinkable happened. I literally threw my phone out of the window while trying to use Google pay. Not my proudest moment. Ended up cracking the bottom of the back glass. I've heard stories of Samsung replacing broken devices within the first few days of purchase. I bought it yesterday. I saw a replacement back for 40$ on eBay. I ordered a dbrand as well. Not sure if I should just sell it at a loss or try if I could get a replacement from Huawei.
What do you guys think my best options are?

Wrong cover but I appreciate the reply. I found the right one on ebay. Fun fact is I could actually get the blue one which is cool but ubreak ifix won't let me bring my own part so I'm still trying to figure out what to do. I ordered a dbrand for the mean time.
