Best adhesive w/o buying a whole new back? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I purchased a use N6 and there was some work done it. The previous owner didn't apply any new adhesive to the battery cover so it was coming up on the sides where it lost some of the stickiness. I removed all the old foamy adhesive (took forever) and I have tried putting on Scotch double sided tape, but that was too thin, so it also came up on the sides. Now I have tried another foamy type double sided tape but it's too thick...
I really don't wanna purchase a whole new back for 12-20 bucks.. just hoping to find a cheap alternative that works as well as the stock adhesive. Any suggestions?

Anybody have a decal on their phone? Looking to change my phone color.

Hey does anyone have a decal on their phone? I am looking for recommendations. So far I have found this one.

I have this one on my Note 2. It looks very nice. I chose it because the color is similar to the titanium of my Note 2.

I just purchased a mercury screen protector along with a Samsung flip case from amazon. I'll post pics once they are delivered.
This is what the screen protector looks like.
And the flip case. Looking forward to seeing the actual combo on my phone.

Wow, I cannot believe that god awful QC.
Install lookout to quarantine it lol. I think someone last year from the tf700 or was it tf201 had the same thing on their screen. Interestingly there's usually a foam tape around the screen so I wonder how it got in there. I would definitely return it. Or you can prob kill it with a hair dryer to the screen.

Looks like a tick?!
Yes, return and get a replacement.
I had some little 'Thunder Flies' crawl into my LCD monitor and ended up taking the LCD layers apart to get them out. Don't want to be doing that again!!

Hi,
Good or not...:
The radio is great on the nexus 5...
The radio SUCKS!...
It's YOUR threads, plus this one...
It makes sense to put the antenna at the bottom. With all the talk of Brain Cancer caused by cellphones. When used as a phone, It puts the antenna the further away from your head. And if I remember my physics, radiation level drop fast with distance.
If you read the Safety Instruction with the phone It states that they have to conform to certain regulation about antenna power
Just tried it with my N5, and it does not happen for me.

Charging cradle! Where can I buy it?

Well, my dog kinda ate the charging cradle. It charges well but does not fit properly. Any ideas where I can get one? I tried Amazon and Ebay but couldn't find them. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks pal. It´s a little expensive now, but I'll consider buying it.
yes - any others found
I havn't found any others.
Guess I'll have to get one of these for now. Too bad we can't find that nifty charging like stand that you see at the sprint store.
I'm debating on buying one of these and an acrylic generic watch stand and going to hack at it until it resembles something similiar

I finally went for the original one for $30. I am planning to sell the Gear 2 Neo in a few months and it's a "plus" to have the original charging cradle.
Wow, I just paid $14 shipped from the Samsung website. There's a code for half-off of the default $19.99 direct from Samsung.
FYI... for the coupon code: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53564718

I see, don't you have a bud that has one? It seriously only takes like 5 minutes if that. The download tho Is horrible I had to wait 2 hours no matter what. And I have good Internet along with the netgear blackhawk. I didn't have a laptop for a while bought a beast for developing purposes but with work I have not found the time to study/learn
