Ok, so I am using the original sleeve that came with the phone, which protect it well enough to my mind.
Some stuff were pissing me off though, like having to take the phone out of it to check for new notifications, or the fact that the sound (notifications/ringtones) was attenuated a lot by it. So much in fact that even at max volume, I missed a couple of calls.
So I did cut a round area where the trackball is located, which allows me to see if I have new notifications without getting the phone out of it.
I also cut it where the speaker output is located. Now I can finally hear my phone ringing, in its sleeve, in my pocket.
Did cut it with normal scissors and burned the edges (to avoid the holes to grow) with a lighter.
It is a dumb trick, but improved a lot my overall experience, so I just wanted to share it here
I ll try to post pics later on, as I am at work right now and cannot do it.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the trackball hole in the sleeve...haha I can picture it.
I'm sure Apple has already patented that and now it's only a matter of time before they sue you
Yes! Definitely put up some pics of your ghetto-fabulous new sleeve!

It corrected it because "useful" is spelled with one "l" while "usefully" is spelled with two.

oh god that is great!
So I just wanted to share with you guys how I'm personally raping apple. The company I work for provides me with a free iPhone 3gs with unlimited everything. This was before I has my n1 so naturally I loved it and jailbroke it. Since I got.bored of the OS and got the n1 unlocked tmobile, I'm running at&t edge running on it. The phone still runs great and the internet is still very quick for edge, but I wanted it faster. So I'm using my iPhone as a wifi hotspot in my pocket: ) so basically my iPhone caters to my n1 hhahaha. I know this is a pointless post but I thought it was worth sharing: )
lol why didn't u just get the att version of the nexus and pop ur sim card in it?
that is awesome

Yeah that ^
The funny thing is when people pull out their phone and i see that it is an iphone, i basically just laugh and look at them in disgrace. Then, if i care to actually pull out my nexus, they are completely humiliated and shamed.

I hope you don't really do that, it actually sounds kind of rude. I'm surprised people don't look at you like "um.. wth is that guys problem, why did he just randomly burst out laughing?"
obviously i don't just burst out in laughter like a fool, it's more of a grin.

loll well duh i woulda but it wasnt out when i bought it, plus this way i turned off my data on my n1 and just using the wifi from my iphone for free! company paid
Well, conventional wisdom is that Apple gets a slice of iPhone data usage on AT&T so you're still lining Apple's pockets.
If you want to put it to the man, destroy your iPhone on video and upload it.

I promise the op, we'll all appreciate a video and you'll get extra points for creative destruction (Thermite springs to mind).

Another unboxing!
And another:
I think it's some kind of competition by a phone reseller called A1, german I suppose. Who ever makes the best fake unboxingvideo will be the winner of a Samsung Galaxy S.
Made me a little mad...
holy crap did they drop it off a building???
It reminds me of a windshield of a car involved in a major accident.
He took it to the toilet, dropped it and **** brix on it?

Supposedly, he dropped it at the bar and some chick stepped on it in her high heels. You can kind of see where the heel made contact to the left side. If it wasn't MY phone, I'd almost admire how cool and almost perfect looking the cracked screen is.

just a little mad? I would have been very, very mad.

Exactly! Why be mad? You just get a new one from him...although he'd have to do it in short order...I don't go without a phone.
I've just knocked my XZ off my sofa whilst on charge and it hit a tile from my fire place! Checked the phone thoroughly and was just about to go get a beer to celebrate when I noticed a small little crack on the side under the volume button :'(
Its not really noticeable tbh but I know it's there! I might get three to exchange it now and say somethings wrong with it as it will bug me like hell!
Dam this is first time I have been clumsy with a phone!

That's what you get for not using a case.
Tell them you only just unboxed it & it's cracked.

Do you wrap a porsche in plastic bumpers? No. What's the point in buying a good looking device if you'll hide it in a case? Why not just get the Casio G-Shock?

I take mine out at home. Solely to keep it clean outside I put it in a case, not to mention protection. Also, if you have it in a case it's harder for potential thieves to spot expensive phones from worthless ones. A big thin slab looks expensive.

1. I tend to keep myself out of mud and dirty places.
2. I don't live in an area with a lot of crime or poor people.
But we are having a stupid discussion here. Some people like to have some extra protection and some people don't. It's easy as that.

I live in London and going through parts with poor people in them is a given. :crying:
It's not mud, it's some jackass spilling his drink and you putting your phone in the place an hour later.
It's not a stupid discussion, I like hearing other views. It's no more stupid than this thread.

Ahhh, okay i can imagine it may help masking your phone a little so it won't have a "please steal me, Sir!" tag on it And i've also had the occasional "this looks like a clean spot.... aaaaaand it's not", but i like living on the edge, one bar at a time :silly:
