Was tired of using screen filter with our ridiculously bright capacitive lights so I tried somthing new, I put a thin strip of electrical tape over the buttons and they still work beautifully. I especially like the rubber feel to the buttons and I'm sure if you put more effort than I did you could probably make stickers with symbols out of electrical tape. I know this probably should go in accessories but c'mon who really checks that often plus I know a lot of ppl have been complaining about the capacitive lights lateley.

That sounds neat, good idea! My only question is does it look jankety? Like did you use an X-acto knife to cut the tape to match the curved bezel? Gotta see them pics

Has anyone had dust accumulating underneath the plastic cover for the camera? I realized the other day that I had a significant amount of it.
I took off the plastic cover and cleaned it off. Its better now but I can see the small opening by the plastic cover.
Did anyone have this problem and how did you resolve it?
I'm sure a few people have...the stickyness of it is mostly not sticky anymore and that's why its getting dirty. So you would constantly need to clean it unless you put something to secure and block any dirt out.

Would some sort of glue work?
If want to take it in to Sprint to see if they can fix it you can do that. But I'm nor sure if they do that particular thing. But it won't hurt to ask. Sorry if I'm not too much of a help. Hope all goes well.

Where this can come from? A few tiny white hairs on the speaker grill!

Oh my god! Looks like you got one of the rare batch of organic nexii! Features Include hair growth, facial recognition, hearing and speech.
If there is lint or dust there, please don't use compressed air to try and blow it out. That can blow it into the N7 and/or under the screen. Gentle suction or a soft brush would work better.
No I m serious... I removed them.... But some hair were stuck under the plastic back cover.
Sure its hair or could be some kind of sintetic fiber ?

the screen and digitizer are glued together, expensive
It is possible to separate them but it is fiddly, hit and miss, and requires skill and patience.
There is a thread in s3 general about doing it, with a video.
Ahh I thought was separate sorry for misunderstanding

They are very hard to prise apart so my suggestion is live with the scratch and get a screen guard.......always, whenever you get a new phone!
Depending on your phones colour, this is what you will need. He is a UK seller and trusted i can confirm his item is legit. I was playing Basket ball with my brother near my house and the floor was concrete floor. Anyway i took a shot and the phone fell out my jacket pocket and landed face down. The screen protector got totally f'd up and i still got a scratched and a cracked screen.
I was looking at youtube videos on how to replace the screen it looked hard till i found these two items on ebay.
Blue touch panel and metal frame with hardware buttons.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ORIGINAL-...arts_Tools&hash=item5aea0d4273#ht_3037wt_1163
White touch panel and metal frame with hardware buttonss.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ORIGINAL-...arts_Tools&hash=item5aea48657e#ht_4474wt_1163
Anyway so i have a white phone i ordered the white digitizer metal frame thingy it is quite expensive, When it arrived all i did was take my phone apart and take the important parts like the mic, motherboard, front facing camera and etc and swapped it into the new one and it works great again looks brand new as well.
Thanks that's what I'm looking for

You're most welcome
I googled i9300 housing eBay
And got quite a few.
Managed to dent my side metal frame.

I say this because after reading the verge review, Joshua knocked the phone over and the back glass broke.
Well I sure dont want to risk so I will.
Just ordered a Best Skins Ever full body skin, should offer some protection without ruining the look of the phone
Cruzerlite FTW
Maybe if there is one with the flip cover that doesn't add too much bulk otherwise no case. It's too pretty.

SquareTrade or something is a popular choice I keep hearing about
I'll make my own protective cover, using double sided adhesive tape, liquid teflon or silicon. Modeling that to just fit Nexus 4's back and adding 1mm to its thinness.
I may get the bumper case

Nope.. I wouldn't have one for my iPhone either if Apple didn't give it to me free of charge.
The glass looks nice apart from the fact that it's a fingerprint magnet.

Nope I never used a cover on my phone, it's make phone super ugly

Yeah, probably a TPU one.
I will most definitely get a Noreve case for it.
Yep, a black rubber one for the back/sides and a clear skin for the screen.
I voted no, but would use a thin clear case if they became available just for scratch protection. I don't care for the TPU cases as they add some bulk.
Will be getting a flip case...
I don't know really, I've never had a glass parts phone, only plastic.
I saw the Verge video too and the crack was pretty annoying since once you see it you can't ignore it.
But then again with screenprotectors and cases the phone gets less comfortable, besides Gorilla Glass 2 is supposed to be really strong and flexible. Once I get the phone and use it for a bit I'll rethink and definitely check out this thread again to see who recommends what cases etc.
Yes, but I'll only use it for the first month or so. After that naked.

Most likely getting a Otterbox here. I've got a baby who loves to reach for small things with bright screens. It's begging for a mishap.
Would a case mess up the wireless charging?

Is it a new install? If so that could be the soapy water solution? Can you tell if it's dust? If it's the solution, you can wrap a credit card in a lint free cloth (microfiber) and squeegee the stuff out as much as you can.

I don't think its soap water...coz im pretty sure i squeeged them out as much as i can...i hope it wont matter much since they're on corners, not on center

It shouldn't matter too much, but you risk of the screen protector to rise up when dried. But try it out. They are XG's so you can get them pretty cheap.
Dude use scotch tape to remove debris.
