Looking at the pictures on Google Play the bezel seems black now, not silver. Or is this just the lighting?
All the I/O units were black around the edge. The images on the play store are obviously not photographs so it may be an oversight, but in this rendering it still looks silver to my eye:

Pulling my own box, I can confirm this.
Nice catch.
Didn't cought my eye and "eye" love facts like that.
Might even have been the better choice, because I already have a few scratches around the edges of my Nexus7.
Should have been black all along !
It may have been a last minute decision to colour it silver, the corners of mine have rubbed and it is black underneath. Perhaps the plastic had some visual imperfections that were easier to 'fix' with a coat of silver?
I'm not sure but I think the ones with white back cover have a black frame. I've never seen a white one with silver frame anyway.

Hi XDA!
Tell me what you think of the dark grey bezel, rather than the stock chrome.
I think I'll rock it like this for a while... then maybe try all black.

With a custom hardware mod, I really hoped you'd replaced the cpu, gps or something like that.
But nevertheless it's quite nice!
Agreed!
Would love to see some hc mods!
Doesn't seem like I'm able to change the title to something more specific or accurate.
BBut thanks for the comments.
how did you do it

Well I did a bunch of research to see if I could completely remove the chrome bezel. Seemed like it was possible but separating it from the glass was tricky. I got the impression I would break the glass if I tried.
So what I ended up doing was taking apart everything I could, then masked off the rest, including the entire screen.
Then I went to town with a 150 grit sandpaper to take the chrome off. Then polished with a 300 grit.
Once it was all smooth, it had a very light grey, almost white look. The exposed, bare plastic was dry and almost looked like fibres. I went and rubbed a very small amount of oil into the plastic. The plastic soaked it right up and gave it a darker grey and glossy appearance. Voila!
So the next step might be to re-tape it all off, then hit it with some black enamel spray.
I'm happy to tell that finally I've changed my crappy Streak case...after dropped it many times to the floor...
I changed the LCD, however i also scrashed it during the process. Lucikly I'm able to purchase 1 black 1 red case from taobao.com. Each package included the black pastic case, lens/flash glass plate and 2 pieces of touching and earpiece plate. Battery cover is not included.
I personally don't like RED color but I would like to keep the Black one for foreback.
In fact the RED one is not a good choice to recolor due to material is different then the black one. Also is very difficult to recolor a lighter color....like white.
I've made few mistakes during the process, 1 I shouldn't glue up the lens glass plate, 2, I install the vibrate motor connector reversed, 3, the button sticked due to over sprayed.
Anyway, finally I make it within 2 hours! It probably the world first PEARL / YELLO streak!! hahaha! suit my pearl color car so much!
So happy! Enjoy!!!!

great job on the build but the pics arent working here. not to burst your bubble but my streak is pearl. the white ones are actually off white with some pearl essence
oh no dun get me wrong. i know there are many offical color from Dell. The story is, actually many Asian ppl wants to know is it possible to find the case to replace. I just show them the answer is YES and how to replace.
Just in case anyone wants to do this here...just for share..
where did you get that CF cover
Man, just a sticker. Of coz still from taobao.com
I received my Nexus 4 in the mail today. Opened it, set it up, noticed immediately in the Google Now app that the whites were yellow compared to my AT&T LG Optimus G (E-970). Since LG seems to manufacturer both screens (though I can't confirm that), why is the Nexus 4's screen so much more yellow? This is before the 4.2 software update, by the way:

I know camera white balance can throw images like these off, but they appear to my eyes exactly like they do here.
My LGOG was never like this out of the box, as I would have noticed it for sure (since the LG's white is the same as my computer screen's.)
Any thoughts? Are all Nexus 4s affected by this 'warmer' screen tint?
That's just how my new replacement n4 is. Has an ugly yellow tint over the entire screen. My original had a yellow bar along the bottom of the screen... Which was annoying but the complete yellow tint is worse yet!

yup i got the same, but give it sometimes. it will get better though
I know several people have been complaining that their N7s had light leak issues. Mine had leaking around the edges and a circular leak in the top right of the screen which was noticeable when I put my tablet down on a desk and used it at a 90 >= angle. I contacted ASUS and sent my N7 back, not only did they swap out my LCD but also gave me a brand new battery too!
I suppose the only money I'm out now is the money I spent on the screen protector that was on the unit when I sent it in (I'm assuming that by replacing the LCD, that the LCD is directly attached to the outer plastic of the screen, which includes the surface the screen protector was on).
Cool story, bro.
How do you know they replaced the battery?

Got the same thing they replaced my screen because of backlight bleeding and when i opened my n7 today when i got it back and i noticed some extra stick tape at my battery and some kind of weird steel or iron plate connected to my battery wich wasnt there before i send it
The steel plate is on the bottom right and im missing a screw! Should i send it back?
The screw im missing is between my second and third finger

I got my note 4 day after launch and yesterday morning a bubble showed up under the glass on the left top corner of the screen At first I though it was the screen protector that had a bubble underneath but after taking the screen protector off it is actually under the glass. The bubble is about half inch long by 1/8th inch wide or so. I couldn't find any info on anyone else with this problem. I went to Tmobile and they sent a replacement phone out right away. Anyway just seeing if anyone else has had this problem. There is no damage to the glass or screen just a bubble under the glass. XDA wont let me post photos in my posts yet so once I'm over 10 posts i'll put some pictures of it up.
Looks like glue wasn't cured right. Were you able to "push" bubble out by pressing on screen or is more like cured glue separated from glass?

Pressing on it doesn't make the bubble go away or change shape in any way.
be good if some way we can see a picture.

There it finally allowed me to post photos.
yeah that's a strange one! Only thing I can think of is that it was there when you first bought it, but it was too small for you take notice until it got bigger!
Exchange!
This is the adhesive that fuses the LCD panel to the glass digitizer separating. Definitely a factory defect and definitely get it exchanged. This should not be happening.
Mine is separating in the same spot. Can only see it when the light it on it just right, hasn't gotten as bad as yours yet
