I don't think there's any available yet, but make sure you turn off NFC once you do get one as the phone will pick up the easypay chip of your NFC enabled cards.
I set my phone on my wallet the other day and it kept popping up the NFC thing with my Chase debit card

I had the same thing happen to me, except I sat my phone down on a metal desk and it kept picking up some random tag.
Anyhow, just giving the +1 on Octo's post. Cases are barely available for the Nexus S, just give it some more time. I can't wait for an Otterbox myself
I'm looking forward to a case that also holds credit cards too
oohhh really wow thats cool to show off lol !!!! but unfortunately mine nexus does not do anything when near a card and i double checked that the tick is on the NFC !!! anyone any idea why ??? .........could be cause i am on modaco's rom ???
Thank you
Try the Golla line of cases they have wallet cases that hold credit cards or pocket style cases.

Looking for one more like this so the phone will still go in my pocket:

Case-mate seems to be the only one that makes this type of case for other phones besides the iPhone. Look at their Nexus 1 case. Perhaps similar types will come out for the Nexus S as well.

D30 from tech 21. Sweetest cases there are for the nexus s. Its made with a slot in the front for credit cards. Unfortunately can be found only in the UK at the carphone warehouse. Costs 20 £ ... also available on eBay is a case for 2 bucks from China. I can provide a link later.

An ebay link would be great because I haven't been able to find any cases like what I am looking for anywhere.

Hi all,
Interested in purchased a NS limited Edition back cover for my NS.
Wouldn't mind if it is a knock-off, as long as it is a high quality product.
Looked on ebay and found nothing.
Anyone got any links that I can purchase one?
Thanks
Heeter
Sameee id like one too.

Hmm, not sure about an official source for these. But my phone actually came with the limited edition (with the little Android logos all over it, right?).
I didn't really like it, and was able to buy a warranty-replacement original cover. I have one of the Android covers right now sitting on my desk that I wouldn't mind getting rid of. PM me if you want to try and work something out.
That actually makes me wonder if Samsung's warranty support stocks any of the Android logo covers. You guys might try calling in and giving that a shot too. Make sure to tell them you want a warranty replacement for your current cover though, otherwise they'll just tell you they have none for sale and to get lost :]
EDIT: PM cheerfully received! I'm assuming this means that my Android logo back cover will, very shortly, no longer be available.
PM sent, Bro.

I would LOVE to get my hands on one of these if any friendly T-Mo/Samsung/hooked up people would be willing to part with one. Please, please, please someone let me know if you have one available and tell me what I need to do for it.
Same here...I rock a naked Nexus w/InvisiShield and would LOVE to show off that wicked backside cover. Thanks in advance...
I'd just like to reiterate my edited post to indicate that I no longer have a limited edition back cover. I sent it out to Heeter pretty much right after I posted.
I don't mean to sound rude, but I've gotten numerous PMs by people who apparently didn't bother to finish reading my post and it's a little out of hand.
Again, it's no longer available. Sorry :[
Maybe Heeter will sell you the one he bought

So is there a reason why we couldn't just buy a used phone (i.e. I saw some Evo 4g's on Craigslist for $50) and make a profit with the $100 HTC One Trade In Program? Just thought of this today and wanted to check with everyone in case it'd be a bad idea for any reason.

nope, but make sure the phone is of value first, many phones are actually worth nothing.

As from my example, the OG Evo 4g is worth a small amount. So essentially, if I pay $50 for it, I could make $50 out of it. I'd rather do this and save my current phone as a backup.
the conditions did say that the trade in phone had to be active and used on your account but I am not sure how they would verify that..

I recall reading you need to provide proof of purchase of your trade in also. That's part of what's holding me back from trading in the GSII I have.

I"m pretty sure it's gonna fly on the recycling center without you getting any. I read on the terms that the phone should have no damage at all(except wear at tear). And if you sent a phone that doesn't meet the criteria they're not gonna return it and you won't get anything.

Are you sure? I read the terms and it sure does seem like you need to provide proof of purchase for the device you're trading in..

you only need proof of purchase for the HTC one. it says that the phone youre trading in has to have been active but i dont know how theyd actually check on that. especially if youre trading in a phone with a hot swappable SIM card.
Ok, So, I found this girl on my local face book and she sold me a Nexus 6 that has a shattered screen for 50$ I couldn't pass up the deal and I did contact Motorola who said that they would replace the screen for 175$ So, I am getting a great deal. The kicker is that I have no clue if it is reported stolen or what. She let me come to her house and assured me it wasn't and that she just didn't have the money to pay the 175$ for the insurance. Anyways, what do you guys think? should I send it in to Motorola? Can they keep the phone if there is something shady going on with it? It is from T Mobile from what she said. But I didn't get anything but the phone. I do have some sign of life. I just plugged it in and a green light came on up top but I have no screen action. The screen is shattered but the rest of it is in excellent condition.
As of now I have the One Plus One and I am debating on which phone is the keeper if everything does work out with it. Is there anyone else coming from the OPO who has an opinion of the 2 phones?
Any advise on my situation is highly appreciated!
Motorola won't keep it, they're not the mobile phone police.
With that said, who is this idiot girl? Why on earth would she sell a $650 phone, even with a crack screen for $50?
That's sounds shady if you ask me. Check the IMEI online and see if it might be black listed. If nothing cones out its at least worth fixing because that's a steal.

Also T-Mobile will black list phones if they aren't gift l bought out right and the account holder doesn't pay for it.
Even with a crack screen and bad IMEI number it's still worth more then the $50 he paid for it.

I don't know why she would do it but I do know a good deal when I see it. LOL! The digitizer isn't working so there is no way for me to get an IMEI # unless I open the back? I hate to invest in the new screen and it be blacklisted. Does anyone know if the IMEI # is located in the device if I took the back cover off? I don't know of another way to check unless I go ahead and fork over the $ for the new screen.

I just ran through a teardown of the N6, and it doesn't appear as if there are any stickers on the inside that would list the IMEI on the inside of the device. It would seem that the only way to know for sure would be to take the gamble on having the screen fixed.
Personally I'd get it repaired and take the gamble. It is very suspicious that she didn't give you the included box, if she did buy it what good would she have by keeping the box?
$50 is not that bad and the repair cost isn't too bad either. Take the gamble and see what happens.

Repair it because its worth the risk. Worst case she senario you will need a new imei but we aren't allow to discuss pushing new imei numbers to black listed phones on XDA but a quick google search could help you should you need it.
What's her Facebook? I'll help you check it out.

I believe you can find the IMEI on the SIM card tray. She should have provided the payment receipt so you could prove it wasn't stolen.

This, then go to http://swappa.com/esn and check the IMEI.
Well, Great news so far. I checked the IMEI # from the tray and it came back legit. So, I am winning so far! Thanks for all of the advise from everyone.
Now, I need to decide if I want to keep the Nexus over my OPO. I love my OPO but have been having an itchy finger to get the N6...We shall see!
Thanks again everyone!
DUDE!!! I have to share this...I called Motorola and told them that I got the phone from someone who didn't want to pay the insurance to fix it. They ran the IMEI # and I pre paid 175$ on a credit card and they sent me a new nexus 6 in the box with everything! Unopened!!! All I have to do is send the old phone back within a few days and I have just gotten a new N6 for 225$!!!Ya baby!!!
I couldn't honestly decide on what phone to keep between the Oneplus one and the N6 so I posted both on Craigslist and I said the first one that sold is the one I will get rid of and keep the other. Within 15 minutes of my post someone bought my One plus 1. So, fate has it that I have an N6! Now time to get this puppy flashed and dialed in. Thanks again !

I came from a OnePlus One, you won't regret it. Yeah the N6 is more wide but you'll get used to it, once you use the N6 you'll wonder why every other phone wasn't wide to begin with. OnePlus One does have better battery life but thats not to say that the N6 can't survive a full day without charging.
But congratulations, nice to see Motorola's customer service is quite nice.

My N6 is rooted and I'm running the Franco kernel for better battery life but once it's replaced the 4K AMOLED screen alone is a big difference.

Yeah your name sounds pretty familiar. I missed the Nexus community and it felt more true to "AOSP" as OPO ROMs/kernels heavily relied upon CM as they had a number of device specific code/commits.
I'm glad you're enjoying the device, a lot of N5 -> OPO -> N6 converts. I probably will skip on the OnePlus Two (or whatever its called).
I made my own custom ROM if you wanted to give it a try, if not then no bad feelings
So my 6T quit reading sim cards, after about 20 times trying to reboot and install the sim and switch slots etc, the tray broke and the sim fell into the phone. I WAS able to dig it out and put the SIM back into her G6 (my girlfriend liked my 7 pro and was gonna use my 6t I had as spare)
I gave up after factory resetting, flashing the ROM etc. and decided to send it in. I had a feeling they MIGHT try to hit me for a new motherboard because I used a pick to get the SIM card out (I had no choice, she needs the phone for work) and I would have been OK with paying the 150 dollars or whatever. Look at this comprehensive parts list. I'm pretty sure it's a new phone.

Seems a little high considering you can get certified refurbished for about $400.
I got mine used in pristine condition for $350 (8/128 midnight black).
That is a pretty extensive list they made though.( You even scratched the sapphire camera lens ?)

lol no, everything worked fine aside from the sim card. phone had normal wear and tear on it.
I would get it fixed. Much better deal than buying a new one :silly:
Not sure what the internal Sim card contacts look like but maybe you could watch a tear down video and get your own repair kit. It might be more minor than you realize. "Jerry Rigs Everything" is pretty great.
Lol, that's an interesting quote...
here's the device that had to get every last screw replaced because it's "damaged"

Lol u think they come on here and look at users price quotes? I'm sure anyone can get one for the same price they're offering u. The 7 is out their just dropping what they can because they'll have a large influx of refurbished 6ts. It should cost 20-$30 to get your slot fixed contact a real cell phone technician or do it yourself it's not rocket science
This is very interesting and providers great insight to those tear down videos. They could use this to help determine the real cost somewhat to build the phone.
Motherboard, camera, glass...expected to be expensive due to complexity of manufacturing and technology...the .05 cent screen protector...haha.
