Just dropped my Nexus 7

So ya, I just dropped my Nexus 7 and it broke off a small corner of the digitizer and a crack through the whole screen. Now the screen is unresponsive to touch. Is there anyone that sells the digitizers? I can't seem to find them on Amazon. Is there just not any replacement parts for it? This blows. I love my N7. I really don't want to shell out $250 more. :crying::crying::crying:

EBay.
I think 159.00 get a nice case while your there.
Sorry about your tab. It does suck

Ug, for that price I may as well just get a new one and save this one for parts, minus the screen/LCD. /sigh. Turns out hte digitizer works, just above the highest point of the crack. I managed to get it into recovery and made a nandroid.
Heh, I did want to upgrade to a 32gb model, but was planning on selling this one first. Ug. Thanks man!
Maybe I'll try to part this one out and sell the parts. Though being so new, I doubt any will sell. Most are under warranty unless they are dropped and I think the screen/digitizer is the part that breaks the most.

I just dropped mine as well and the screen is cracked and unresponsive. I saw that it cost 170 for a new screen so Im just replacing it. It really sucks. Im not buying through Google again. Ive ordered it from Walmart and got the $20.00 2 year protection plan, I should be able to pick it up today.

Some people just shouldn't have nice things...those people should give that stuff to me.

Man that sucks. I'm sooooo protective of my n7 I get super nervous when other people hold it and I keep it in two cases just in case. On topic though you might be able to get a broken one from someone on here then swap out the stuff you need. I'd just take the hit buy a new one and a couple cases. I use the OEM case from Asus and I put it in a m-edge kindle fire zipper case. It fits snug and offers great protection.

Whats D Nexus⁴ Case Ure Using? Plan To Get Nicer Ones :D

Lets discuss on the casings for Nexus⁴ attactive(Cool Design) ones and protective(Flip Cases) ones! Please do provide names or links or pictures for it
Nexus⁴ is indeed a hot device, its worth my waiting like a drug addict everyday bugging my gmail for the shipping notification.
there r few cases about the glass at the back experiencing minor cracks,
so i think its better to protect it even though it looks gorgeous without casing and so hard to get a new one
i already had this Nillkin Flip Case at Tmall on standby, bought it from china's "amazon", tmall.com, their original factory's online store
Then i saw Cruzerlite's Androidified A2 TPU Case For Nexus⁴(Teal) attracted by its Android design,
while scrolling around i saw another nice oneXdadevelopers's CASE for Nexus⁴, also by Cruzerlite.
Both are looking cool, but before i buy them i wanna know if there are other casings with Cool Designs out there? Since i chose Cruzerlite because of its designs. I want my phone to look nice even with cases on.
I also need Flip Cases (Book Style)(prefer leather ones, because Nillkin's surface didnt convice me and it gets dirty easily those who had Nillkin flip case will know about this) and as what you all know, Flip Cases for Nexus 4 is extremely hard to find
what i want is 1 Cool Looking, and 1 Flip Case(Book Style) , both are hard to find,
other casings like diztronics' simple design or other cases that i found in this forum board even though they may give protection to device but their design didnt appeal to me(not to insult)
thats why i wanna find out if there are better ones, those who knows of Cool Looking, and Flip Case please do tell me about it, simple user review if possible :highfive:

I too have the xda case on order even though I have a set up I am currently satisfied with. I have now, the Diztronic Ultra hard thin that doesn't cover the top or bottom of the phone like the Diztronic TPU does. It works for me because I can now use the Seidio Surface spring holster made for the GNEX without much of an issue. The thiness of the shell works for me but not for all, so you'll need to decide what you are comfortable with.
According to your list, you are looking at tpu all the way. For the choices listed, which I have most of them except for the Cruzerlite models, I would go for the Diztronic tpu. It's pretty darn thin and the only negative is that the logo on the tpu is a bit glossy for my taste, but you get used to it . Happy shopping!

urm not necessarily tpu, im looking towards more good appearance cases thats what cruzerlite design attracted me
my plan is to use 1 nice looking flipcase for full protection, and another nice looking which only covers back :laugh: as long as its looking good even when not naked :highfive:

I love my poetic bumper, I had an sline tpu case and it was ok but the power button became increasingly difficult to press.

Stop taking other people credit for accessories links.. is already a sticky

Yeah, a side flip should be preferable to top-down. Though I will give you guys an update on functionality.

I got the Poetic case when it was for under $4 and I absolutely love it! I am wallet-free as of now, since all I carry is the phone and the case which holds 3 cards and cash. It takes time for the leather to stretch and accomodate 3 cards, but now its the best thing I bought, well, after my N4 lol
The only downer is its a pain to use this case by just one hand, and taking a picture without the aid of the other hand is next to impossible.
So I've ordered the amCase(TM) Slim fit case for Google Nexus 4 -Matte Black for under $3 including shipping. Should be here tomorrow/Tuesday, so will update my post.
Cheers!

wow, poetic slim case was very nice to me! how come you got all your cases so cheap? where do you buy it ? mind sharing it? :victory:
btw, the case was using magnetic clips right?
saw about this one and plan to buy it, but its at china website... :S almost the same like poetic ,without the place to hold cards... http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.10.80.gPYjN8&id=18281667386
btw with the bumper shortage on google website i bought shenit bumper case for nexus 4, on amazon
so now i have nillkin bookstyle flip case, cruzerlite androidified tpu case, shenit bumper case, plan to buy http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.10.80.gPYjN8&id=18281667386 to replace the nillkin flipcase, dont quite like its serface

Thin case that only "grabs" top and bottom?

Right now Im running a bumper (well, the girlfriend, who is a phonebreaker, is running it because she is waiting for her substantial case to arrive) but I was wondering if there were other options.
Most times Im running naked and only using the bumper in situations when I thought there was real risk. The main reason is because i love the cascading touch screen, it feels much better working on the phone without my thumb crashing into the lip of a bezel or case when swiping/typing.
So my question is, has anyeone seen a case that clips onto the phone holding only onto the top/bottom (and corners) but maybe only going up half or less of the sides, as to not interfere with the drop off effect of the screen?
I think if I had something like that I would be more willing to run the case more often. I know it couldn't be a bumper, it would need a back to support the sides and I am prepared to live with not seeing the blingy back.

I've been looking for this too! Haven't found a case like that yet...

I asked exactly this same question, and the answer is that no one has made such a case yet. However, I did buy the rearth ringke slim case, which grips the sides, but very shallow, and it is pretty good. You don't bump the sides until you are about three fourths of the way down the bevel.

Damn, that in a thin TPU with no flip cover would be basically what I am looking for. I rock my phone naked 90% of the time now and the bumper when riding my motorcycle. I just cant stomach covering up a thin, attractive product with a massive case.

I use this case only in my car or in my pocket. When i get home it takes me 3" to remove it or put it back on. And i don't like screen or back protectors.

Do you have a case for your phone?

Hi, I've had the nexus for two days now and yesterday I dropped it from about two feet to the kitchen floor. Nothing happened to the phone. The floor is sort of like plastic? I'm not sure what kitchen floors are made of. Anyway, this is my first glass phone and I'm very paranoid that I may crack it someday. I've seen what happens if you drop a glass phone, i.e iPhone and nexus and its scary. My previous phone; I never dropped it once (at least that I can recall), but this phone is a lot slimmer and easier to slip from the hand.
I primarily ask because I'm one of those people who would rather have a 'naked' phone. I feel like it shows the true beauty of phones, but I also don't want to have a shattered phone
I also take good care of my phones. But you never know what can happen.

I ordered the Ringke Fusion case, but hasn't arrived yet.

Absolutely man, buy a good case and a screen cover. Its worth the extra 30 or 40$.

I use a pouch case (the shocksock leather one, looks very nice on the phone) which protects the entire phone when it's in my pocket but allows me to use it without a case or screen protector. Worked for me for two years with my HD2 (not a single scratch or dent apart from once when my friend dropped it when using it) and hopefully it should work for me with this phone too.

Tmobile store now has the hard body glove case and the silicon case. I got the hard case and it is great did not noticibly change the weight or size of the phone like a lot of cases

I bought the Acase Superleggera Pro from Amazon for $15 and have had it for a few days. I can finally rest easy about dropping it since it has the hard shell on the outside with the silicone layer on the inside almost like an Otterbox (2 stage case). All port cutouts are precise and buttons are easy to press. I've owned 2 other cases and both seemed to offer little protection for it. I just hope I never have to test it lol.

I'm just like you: anxious and not liking cases and I definitely advise you to use one. I bought a 3$ TPU case and it protects the phone well plus it makes it less slippery.

Using the official bumper + skinomi screen protector. Works very well for me. Dropped the phone once, ~1meter fall (from my pocket) on wooden floor, the bumper definitely saved it.

Take a case and a 2 protectors(face and bottom) to protect the phone from scratches. Both cost about 10 €
I use them since the first day and everything is fine for me. It saved my phone more than once.

Bought a Cruzerlite android army case. Fits really well, looks good, and the TPU material is soft and protective.

It's just stuffs with no animal products in it. This is the way I live, I hate violence, I hate slavery, so I won't support it in any way. I know it sounds funny when you don't know about it, but it's the only way we can reject animal cruelty. I could say a lot, but I think it's not the place to talk about it.

I hate cases, with this phone I use one but I don't like it especially after a week or so of using a case how good the phone feels when you take it out

I'm using an ionic styled black case that you find on amazon for under 10 bucks. Great protection, doesn't add much bulk imo and it feels very good in my hands. Plus I feel safer with it on and that's what's important...ones own peace of mind.
My cousin has a cruzerlite case, there is nothing wrong with it but I prefer the case I currently have on my phone. I actually purchased it to hold me over till I find something that I really liked. Now its my daily driver and I couldn't be happier.

Dbrand on the back, an Etsy pouch and that does me. Don't like cases on this phone feels better using it naked.

Ringke SLIM for day to day. Ionic Guardian (got it when it was $4) for outdoor stuff.
Naked is awesome, but not safe

Best holster case??

Not sure if this is the right spot or not but I just picked up a s7 and I need a good holster case.
I'm not a fan of the otter box. I don't like the built in screen protector. I like to use the zagg screen protectors. I usually use a plastic case that slides into the hip holster on my s4 but since the s7 seems to be fragile I want to go with something a bit better than that.
Anyone use a holster case and like it? What brands and styles?
Thanks

Nite Ize XL Hard shell case is the only one I've found that will hold the S7 with a protective case on it. Fits and protects well except the belt clip doesn't swivel.

Look an Amazon, that's where I found mine.

What kind of case did you go with?

I got this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D8ZFVJS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and I really liked it. I did break it but I got it caught getting into my car and really put all my weight on it, but I cannot blame the case for that.

I don't remember the brand but it came with a light case and a slide in holster that has a swivel clip.

I've been using these types of cases for more than 5 years now.
I got this one for my S7 Edge and I really like it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D3RRH70/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yes I love these cases also. This is all I've ever used on all my phone's I've ever had but I'm afraid with the exposure at the ends of the phone and with how fragile this phone is that it may not be a good idea since I'm pretty hard on phones lol
