^ Shift Faced

I just got mine in the mail, its pretty nice. the main thing I like about it is the tabs holding the case on are thin so it doesn't interfere with the slider so much.
i would suggest buying it from otterbox and using a coupon code. i tried to get it from amazon my first time (it was $10 off) but the estimated ship date was a month and a half away.

Dust under screen

For those that returned there phones due to dust under the screen, Was the replacement phone a refurb or was it new?????
I know normally it's a refurb but since the phone is so new, who knows. I returned my Slide after 3 weeks after noticing dust under the screen. I think they gave me a new one.
I just noticed dust under my screen too. So annoyed. Probably going to exchange it this week.

I want to think its a new phone but i just received my phone by ups about 15 minutes ago. The box was all dinged up and when i opened it up i had the skeleton of the phone in those little white packages they now use to hold the phones and the screen protector was all smashed up and hardly on the screen itself. I noticed the back part of the phones rubbery sides had these weird bubbly smudges everywhere.....it doesn't feel very "new" >_>
I exchanged mine at a store yesterday and got a new one. It still had the plastic under the battery.

You bought yours from a store though right?
It is my understanding that you cab go to any T-Mobile store and return your phone (if you purchased online and its past your remorse period for that store)
I was told by wirefly that I should bring the phone back to the local T-Mobile store to exchange it since I was a day past the 14 day remorse.
I think it has to be a t-mobile corp store too.

I was told by T-mo rep that they can do exchanges in-store, since MyTouch is their flagship line. May be a bunch of BS but who knows... give it a try, what's the worth that can happen?

Dropped phone :(

UI've just officially devirginized my phone! Had it on my lap when I got out of my truck to shop at walmart

Scuffed it pretty good on top left metallic part/bottom left of keyboard, ahhhh now it looks like crap and I can't stop looking at the scratches, screen is still perfect though. Oh well not the end of the world lol, I guess I'm going to have to let that be a lesson for me

Yeah....you should probably just toss it. Or ship to me.
I say ship it to ddgarcia05 if its bothering you. I would if it happened to my phone, but luckily I bought a case cover that was talked about in the thread in G2 Accessories. : )
Phone: T-Mobile G2/Vision Rooted
Rom: Latest Cyanogen
Recovery: CWM waiting for Amon_RA
I remember the first time I dropped my phone. Scared the hell out of me, I picked it up and looked at all four corners and the screen. Thank god I already had a cover on it, top left got it pretty good.

Mine fell down once on cement. Jumped up and down a couple times. Few scratches and bumps here and there, glass cracked a bit, scratched some other places. Overall hurt.
I do have to say, if it were any other phone, it would have been torn to pieces. This phone is tough!

Just get one of those decal skins, if the scratches bother you,
Now if we could find decals for ugly girls with hot bodies... =/
(paper bag doesnt cut it anymore)
You should at least buy a cheap slip on case from the chinese. On ebay they are like 2-4 bucks and tons of different designs. I prefer the OEM G1 Case, bought 2 extras just in case I lose one haha.

What if you got a cellphone case at walmart, then dropped the phone an hour later after your G2 was all snuggled up in the case?
Also, devirginized = cherry popped, my dear virgin friend =P
I dropped mine as well, it hit the pavement and bounced..the battery door came off and the battery and sdcard came out, but no damage to the phone...thanks to Zagg
I remember I dropped my G1 like that getting out my car in my moms driveway. I was a little mad but I knew my contract was just about finished and the fact that I had dropped the G1 so many times I just shrugged it off. So far I've only dropped my G2 on the carpet in my house. Plus I have a screen protector and a clear hard case w/kickstand so Im not worried but Im also not walking around holding my phone. Im using BT.
Mine flew out of my pocket while playing basketball

Which case gives the most protection against drops?

Question is in the title...
Best one against drops by far.....
It's "made" for the phone. FEDEX can attest LOL

Nice case and it's free
@ OP: Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133326 It has many positive feedbacks on "protect against damages," but i dont have courage as well as a case to test :silly:
Freaking awesome. Made my night.

I ride my bike with my Nexus 4 strapped on my arm and last week I fell off my bike and the phone flew off my hands because I was texting and riding my bike. My phone has the eBay kickstand rubber and plastic case (I like that it covers the USB and headphone ports) and XOskins rear and front screen protector and my phone survived the fall and tumbling on concrete, only minor tearing of an edge of the screen protector and very minor scuff on the corner of the case. Overall my phone feels pretty safe.

An amazon.com seller had the ballistic case for about $21usd + shipping (it shipped internationally for about $12 If I recall correctly, but now the price is up to about $27 + shipping) The seller that ships internationally was "One Stop Cell Shop". The price from this seller has been fluctuating between about $21 and $27 so you could wait to see if it decreases.
In the mean time.. I have just purchased the ballistic case from www.ioffer.com for about $27 + free international shipping. The seller has 21000 trades and 99% positive feedback. I know that ioffer sells fakes but also has some authentic products. I hope the case is authentic . It says shipping will take 5-10 days, so I will let you all know when (and if ) I receive it. I paid with paypal so I can make a dispute claim if it's not what I ordered.
So.. there are options out there just be careful when ordering and don't blame me if you order it from ioffer and it's fake... I will let you know in a week or 2 when I get it. :victory:
MyBat Tuff Hybrid Case
The MyBat Tuff Hybrid Case is great. I've mentioned this on other threads that I've dropped it from 4.5 feet right on the corner ... no damage.
I've dropped it multiple times since then. The colored version is $8.95 on ebay, the "Beer" version is $9.00. I currently have the black version, the beer version is on it's way.
colored versions
Beer Version
Thanks people,very helpful info
Beer Goggles!
I put my "Beer Version" of the MyBat case on my N4 and it looked great, but ...
When I made a phone call my screen when black and wouldn't come back. A quick check on google and I found that the proximity sensor was partially blocked by the new case. I expanded the opening with my box knife and all is well.
If i can't find the Ballistic case for a good price,i'm definitely getting this one,with the beer print
I got the Ballistic through the Cell guru for around $30 shipped to Australia.
Other than the Otterbox which isn't available for the Nexus, this is the only case I would trust to protect the phone from a drop.

i have orderer a mybat tuff in black and also the ballistic one... i will compare both and make a review between both of them... they seem to be the best decisions in case of protection...
Any two layered case with a lip will offer good drop protection.
I don't know what case offers the most protection, but the Diztronic model works amazing! Today I was walking out of a store with my hands full not paying attention and all of a sudden I see my phone, falling through the air on its way to the pavement. The distance was about 5ft high. It landed on the top corner (camera side) and the phone is completely intact. The case had a little scuff/dirt mark that just rubbed away. I can't tell you how happy I am to have put this on. I dropped my Nexus S once case-less and the hassle with getting it repaired and such, what a task. To think of all the trouble I saved myself, wow. So very grateful. Much respect to Diztronic.
2 drops so far above waist level with my ringke fusion and not 1 scratch

Nexus 6P + Keep In Pocket = Bent Phone (for you)?

I have owned two 6p's within 60 days of release last year and both bent. I used a very sturdy case (could have been part of the issue?).
I tested "bent" by placing the 6p, screen down (& up too) on my kitchen table (multiple spots) and it wobbled. Both phones did this within a week or ownership.
I'm considering trying one again and wanted to know...
Do you keep your 6p in your pocket from time to time and if so is it bent? Would you mind doing the "wobble" test (lol) and letting me know?
I loved the phone and miss the dev community around it.
Your are not alone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/bent-days-t3241999
Mine isn't bent luckily.
I wished I didn't read this. Now I think my phone did bent too. If I put it on a flat surface on the screen side, it isn't perfectly flat. I do keep my phone in my pocket. So it gets tight sometimes. I wish I didn't saw it. But I'll just keep using the phone like I used to, everything is still working very well and still love the phone the way it is.
Mine is in my pocket at work the entire day other then pulling it out for texts, email and web surfing. Had it over a month now and no bending issues. I have a MIME Ghost Glass and a Spigen Rugged Armor case on it within 3 days of getting the phone. Sorry that you've had issues. I do have large pockets (khaki shorts) so there is no stress on my phone in that sense and never put my phone in my back pocket.

This is a great point; tight pockets will do this (almost too big of a phone anyways for more fitted pant).
Although I know some of us may have to, I have never put a phone in my back pants pocket. On occasion I will put them in my front pocket but then I don't wear skin-tight clothes. I tend to wear button-down or casual shirts with a front top pocket which suits me well.

I've had mine since the first week of December. I never use a case and always carry it in my left pocket. It's still straight as the day I bought it. Does not wobble. I don't know why mine is not affected but I am sure there a lot that don't have bending. At this point in my ownership though I have seen enough reports of bending to say that it definitely is a risk of buying the 6p. Get Nexus protect or squaretrade or whatever to cover yourself. Or just wait and see what HTC makes this year.

Wow I've gone through 4 units but due to the pink screen hue issue. No bent ones so far and I always had a case on them.

Sheesh! I'm hoping that by ordering one with a later build date, these challenges w/quality control are not a factor.
Is your current unit good now? What is the build date?
11/13 is my build date but I have another new one on order since best buy and other retailers are selling with $75 discounts so will be curious if a later build date arrives. If it doesn't have a date later than mid December, then we know this sale is intended to move out old inventory.

Interesting point, I was thinking the same and perhaps a gold model might be the best chance at getting a later build date...

I was thinking the same but the gold model was not in stock for the 64gb at best buy (ugh now I see it back in stock!): my prior models were silver so I chose graphite this time.

LOL, same here was just checking on it too
I believe this sale is running for s few weeks and best buy is good with returns: I could order a gold one to compare and return one if not both! Lol
EDIT: I did. So let's see which is the better!
Luckily Best Buy is 2 miles away with easy on/off from highway.
I'll also report on any bent issues for those who are curious/worried.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Guess I'm lucky. I bought a 32GB Graphite 6p soon after they came out from Google and paid $450 usd and put my thin little Spigen case on and a no glare screen protector on day 1 and I have a perfect device. I've flashed it about 400 times and have no color issues or bending whatsoever. I don't wear tight jeans but not baggy either but I do keep my device laying on my desk at work and when I drive I throw it in the dash mount. I keep it out of my pocket when I can because of reading reports of bending.. So far all has been fine. This is RedDoggie from the Gulf Coast, out. (CB radio static sounds in background.) ?

My devices were returned to Google directly since they were purchased from them. Fortunately, it was in the time period between Black Friday and Xmas where they offered extended return periods until almost the end of January, so I lucked out, and had a month or more to make decisions.
With Best Buy, I will have 14 days to make a decision but now that I know what to look for, determination is now limited to a few days if not a few hours!
