For sure... i hope they are good...even if they arent... it was only 2.85 hahahaha
These are terrible. They are not properly cut. Avoid.
I got one a while ago (posted in turn Fascinate accessories forum about it). I'm only using the back part for extra grip so far. Yeah, they're not cut the greatest, but it's really not that hard to pull the apart, just might need a tweezers or something. Anyway, for the price, you can't go wrong.

It wasn't bad for 2.85, but like they said, the back only covers the actual back and not the sides. The front was cut great but there was a defect in my front screen and it has lines running down the whole right side of the screen. Other than that it's awesome.
I really like mine, for less than $3.00 you can't go wrong. Read the instructions before you install though.

I bought the Extreme Guard ($5 shipped from Amazon) before seeing this. It works very well. My only complaint is that while it covers the sides/edges they could've done a little better getting the cut-out to get the entire surface (it covers about 98% of the back but there are small gaps on the corners where the phone curves). Overall it was a solid deal as well. I can't comment on the screen protector's quality as I already had another one on that I like and haven't felt like swapping it out yet.
I can't post links yet but you shouldn't have a problem searching for it on Amazon
Fishy...
Anybody else getting the StealthGuards website complaining that cookies are not enabled, and a little how-to guide on enabling them in Internet Explorer?
First of all, Cookies work for me on other websites JUST fine in both Chrome and Firefox. No problems. So it seems like the Stealth Guards website wants me to be using IE. ...Like I said, it feels fishy. Maybe it's just a glitch on the site for tonight.
Regardless, I'm updating my copy of MalwareBytes(.org) and running a scan. Call me paranoid. Whatever. Oh. and they have the price for the Fascinate screen protector listed as "free" right now too.
*edit* it could be just b/c I wasn't logged in yet that it wouldn't allow me to "add to cart" but every legitimate website I've gone to in the past few years has simply asked me to sign-up/sign-in after clicking add to cart.
I saw a couple other forums where people said that the website felt shady as well. I guess I'll stick with my Invisible Shield. It may have cost a lot more, but I've already used the warranty once, and I used it once or twice on my old Cowon S9 player as well.
Hmmm about those cookies
I actually did experience the exact cookie issue your referring too, however it cleared itself up when went to the website directly and did not use the provided link to the item.
The issue occurred in FFox, Chrome and IE8 which is why I got a little suspicious, but as I said as soon as went the web home as it were, the issue was resolved.

mine for my Fascinate was perfect, no different than the Zagg product bought two years ago for my LG enV Touch , which still looks new to this day
Have any of you received yours? I'm about to file a paypal claim. Over 2 weeks since I ordered.
I got mine. It took about a week and a half. It just comes in a regular envelope so make sure you don't throw it out with the junk mail.

Mine took around 2 weeks as well, as mentioned it will be in plain white envelope your "not to bad of a Zagg knockoffs" will be incognito appearing as junk mail. Although getting all the bubbles out on the battery cover is difficult (as other brands may be as well) I'm sure they will work out fine.
*side note*
Verizon sales new fascinate battery covers for about 5.00$ free shipping, I ordered 2 with government discount for 8.00 shipped. I'm coating one with spray on rubber insulation like used on grips for tools. To get a good no slip grip. 8.00 at Home Depot in a spray can in flat black.
Hi,
I am wondering if I should exchange my device. There is a minor problem with the screen. It is not really a detached screen as I haven't notice any pop up so far. Yet, I can hear little cracking sounds when I pressed the area around the front facing camera.So, what you guys think I should do? Also, if I get a new device, will all my downloaded apps be there once I signed in my google acount?
Great thanks!!!
I'm not sure if you should return it but if you think it could get worse it wouldn't hurt, and once you get your new tablet you can restore your Google account with all the apps you have back onto the new one.

Does it really bother you? If it does, exchange it. If it doesn't, keep it.
Or to put it another way, would you have ever noticed it if people here didn't point it out? You could get a perfect device when you exchange it, could get one with a different problem.

If it's not perfect return it. There is no reason to live with it. That's what the warranty is for.

It doesn't bother me much. As I said, the area does not pop up and the creaking sound comes out only when I press the area on purpose(wont't touch the camera at all). I expect the product to be perfect even it is 250. Just wanna see if you guys will bear a minor defect or returning it.
I doubt you would've noticed if you hadn't read about it here. Don't nitpick as long as it works.
It has plastic parts. Plastic creaks.

I disagree with the "don't nitpick" statement. Did you paid 250+ dollars for a tablet that squeaks and crackles if you touch it a certain way? That is what a warranty is for. Its your choice to take advantage of your warranty or not, however, just the fact that you asked should answer your question. I had one dead pixel and returned mine for a new one and the second one is perfect. If it wasn't I would have likely had my money refunded and waited until the hardware kinks were worked out. There is always risk involved when being an early adopter of new tech... but the risk isn't that you have to eat a defective device. It is personal preference but when I spend money I worked to earn and purchase a device brand new I expect it to be perfect out of the box. If it is a manufacturer defect then use your warranty and get a device that doesn't make you want to ask if you should return it.

Be careful with this one. If the screen itself is fine and doesn't raise, and you are suffering no other problems, I would keep it. The replacement could just as easily have the screen raise problem.
The creaking is the casing I believe, if it's not in area you will be pushing lots in daily use I would just keep it.
I've had plenty creaky gadgets before, and I found a neat trick. Get some silicon based lubricant spray, put some on your finger and rub your finger round the contact surfaces between the casing and the back cover, including all the clips etc. Works 100% of the time for me.

Then just return that one and get a new one. I really would not care if I had to send back 100 Nexus 7s to get a perfect one. It also keeps you from getting it too if you think about it. I know it can be a hassle sometimes, but that is what a warranty is for.

Thank you for your comment and I agree with you so much. I am just afraid if I exchange another one that is worse than my first one. But you are right, newly developed product is not an excuse. I also worked hard to buy myself this little toy and I don't want to play with it with special care. Since it is just the fourth day of my purchase, I will keep it for couple more days to see if it is actually a problem to me.
I no I no....this post is gonna receive lots of bias info but I still wanna give it a try and I hope people r honest. I have read all over in these forums, there are lots of threads like this but at points it seemed people were overly sarcastic about everything.
My contract ends in a couple of weeks. I'm gonna be switching to tmobile as its hella cheaper. Now putting specs aside, I no they are great, how is everything else in the phone.
My primary concern is the glass back. It seems like everyone is split among the issues-some have already shattered it and others haven't.
Anything else I should no before setting my mind on which phone I should get?
Thanks

Hardware is great, price is great. It appears that build quality is VERY inconsistent seeing as most of my friends and myself have seemingly perfect units, but there are still a billion new RMA threads every day. To protect the glass back it's safest to get yourself a case. If, like me, you don't like using the phone with a case on then try a pouch case to protect it in your pocket but which allows you to use it 'naked' when you want to. Mine hasn't shattered yet although there are some minute and unnoticeable scratches on the back glass; they can't be seen unless in the perfect light.
I have this phone for a few months now and I absolutely love it! It's fast it's super handsome ... it is very unique!!!
Personally I didn't have any problem with the glass... except a little scratch which I don't know what happened!! My problem with the glass is that it's super slippery! It sometimes moves even on flat surfaces like coffee table...! 2 week ago I ordered some skins for back of my phone from here:
http://dbrand.com/submodels/nexus-4/
My phone looks even better with this, looks very luxury! It has a better grip now and doesn't slip away like fish! I'm using screen protection on gorrila glass also just to avoid taking any scratch...
I didn't drop my phone on a hard floor but I did drop it on carpet and one time I kicked it and it hit the wall! Nothing happened thou
If you like taking pictures with your phone I have to say the Camera isn't the best specially in low light situations but it's not the worst either...
I like the screen better than Super Amoled cause colors are more natural but I gotta say it looks a little washed out sometimes! It could be more colorful, you can improve it with custom kernels if you are planning to root...
Everything else about this phone is 10/10... battery life, smoothness, update support, appearance and ..... I'd give this phone 9 out of 10
I was seriously considering this phone also a couple of weeks ago. Posted my thoughts on XDA and the guys convinced me to buy it. One of the best decisions ever. The phone looks stunning and the build quality is excellent on mine. So far I managed to avoid scratches by keeping the back screen protector on and putting a case on it straight away.I haven't rooted mine yet because you will get the fastest updates from Google straight. However if you do want to root it there will be a variety of alternatives available (maybe an Ubuntu OS later). So trust me it is a good phone I will give it a 9.5/10 minimum.

I waited to buy my n4 for a while, I mean the shortage helped but still I waited. Expandable storage being the biggest reason and the geek in me wanted to see what else would come to the market to rival the n4.....I wish I had pulled the trigger earlier. The phone is phenomenal! Best phone I've owned by far, still wish storage was expandable....I'm annoyed with Google for that and their dumb explanation, but other than that I love my phone! I got myself a heavy duty case just in case....so far so good!
Did I mention that I love this phone with all my heart lol

Check out this video, sound isn't the best but it's still quite loud. The quality can be a bit tinny at times but normally it's OK. The biggest issue with the speakers for me is the placement as when you put the phone down on a flat surface the sound is entirely muffled (and I mean entirely, there's almost nothing coming out).
Its the best phone for the value of any smart phone and if you are going TMobile pre-paid check out Straight Talk, its basically the same service but $15 a month cheaper.

Just a comment on this, there is an idea of a "self-selection" bias. This is a forum to discuss the phone and when are people most likely to discuss something? When they have a complaint. There are likely millions of perfectly good Nexus 4s out there with owners who are blissfully unaware of what XDA is (or even what RMA means).
If you go into any forum and base your picture on complaints in a product forum youd think everything was garbage. Look at Apple forums, youd think Iphones and Ipads are nothing but terrible batteries, rattles and light bleed.
The reason your phone is good is the same reason my phone is good. The vast majority of Nexus 4s are quality.

This is realy a great phone, it is fast and fluid, esasy to root and restore, no hassle with unlocking bootloaders and loosing warranty. A very good screen and very active development and a descent price for the device. I didn`t regret buying this phone for a second.

Dunno what they mean but its still always a better value to get it from the play store, then you are not locked into the contract. You can use ST as an MNVO and get the same signal you would with T-Mobile but for $25 less (comparing to the contract plan) a month. If you do the math youd realize that the contract route costs more money.

One of the best phones I've owned. IMO: Pros: IPS, the feel, size (fits well on my hand), jb is smooth. cons: miss the home button from the iphone and spend too much time on xda.
My misses just got her HTC ONE for her upgrade as she likes mine.
She got the black one and i noticed they still have issues with the speaker grills not sitting right.
Love my phone and its been great ( performance wise and no issues technically ) and she likes hers, but I'd have thought by now they'd have ironed out these silly issues.
She hasn't noticed it and it's gone straight into a case so she isn't bothered, I'm just surprised about this.
They're only issues if you allow them to be issues. Seriously, it's only a issue if the grill is hanging off lol
Quality control is quality control. Don't get me wrong. I love HTC. But they should get their **** together if they want to be world beaters.

When you pay for a phone that's this expensive, you should be allowed to ask for perfection.
Although i don't let it bother me, i still sometimes see the grill and wish they had fixed it.
I just got my second One and it's in worse shape than the first One. The first was actually pretty good, build wise, I exchanged it for the camera issue. Now I have a phone with a couple of build issues and the camera issue is still there. I shouldn't have returned my first One

Although I do understand where you are coming from, people put these phones together. Unless the people are perfect, there's no way the phone is gonna be perfect.
TBH, though, they're not that far off. They really aren't. I wouldnt mind but they done the hard part spot on, carve the aluminium etc etc.
It woudn't take all that much to fix the grill issue.
My phone does have a slightly rough edge to the screen and the speaker grill a the top has the gap a bit. I just think to myself, let them dry longer or, use better glue, or a bit more of it and apply some even pressure around the edges lol.
For a company that has build a damn good phone, it aint rocket science.

The one is designed and manufactured to be as thin as possible. On top of that they also implemented their 'zero gap' design. If you read some of the teardown threads, it's assembled in a way that allows zero room for error. Taking into account the fact that most people who receive a One that they consider to be perfect don't usually post about it at all, I'd say the actual defects of the one are a much smaller percentage than they appear to be on XDA.
Where HTC really impresses me is the fact that they seem to be 100% willing to warranty any device with any build quality issue. Obviously they should, after advertising a premium device with no gap and superior build quality to plastic phones. However, what major companies should do, and what they really do are not always the same. They can not promise you a perfect phone, but they are willing to replace it until you receive on that satisfies you.
Where they fail, is with that replacement device. Any mass produced product is going to have defects, and some will make it past quality control, this is inevitable. But devices going to customers who have already sent in devices due to build quality issues should have added levels of quality control, to ensure no one gets two bad phone. That would save them a lot of negative publicity.

Not acceptable. Called right away and they are overnighting me another tomorrow. Hopefully this one is accetable. If not I'm done with HTC. Has anyone had some kind of glue type substance around the grills or where the gaps are. I mean why do they think they can send me this and call is acceptable. ?? Sorry I didn't like spending hours on the phone. Most of it was correcting and issue the first rep made by not even processing the order. Tmobile USA. Come on.

Dude I'm dealing with the same issue with tmobile, it's not htc it's tmobile sending out bad refurbished models I'm waiting on my third one and then I'm giving up.

If the new one I get is the same I'm going to take pictures and post all over tmobile support advising to people thats what tmobile calls acceptable. They suggested me going eip for a new phone, they just want money and don't seem to care that I paid in full for a faulty device, my defects didn't start showing up till after the first 30 days passed, and I bet they are going to lag on the update as well, situations like this make me hate these companies and there policies, they try to sound so cheerful over the phone but they don't understand that we don't deserve to be given broken devices over things we didn't break but sadly we can't do much to over power them they will just be like "again we are sorry for the inconvenience can we send you another" they make me sick

That sucks man. When I first opened the package I saw what at first looked like a scuff. Then I noticed it on both sides of the top speaker grill. I'd say that was the worst built phone I've ever seen. The grills didn't line up, the screen wasn't flush and it looked beat up around the sides. I've never had build issues with other phones. I agree with you. If this one today is bad I'll call customer loyalty and see what else they can get me. I'm not particularly picky but I'd have to be something within the same price range. I know they've offered alternative exchanges before. I think they try not yo as much anymore. 5$ every time you exchange adds up plus they charged me 7.99 for shipping of my charger that was defective. At the end of it all I'm going to see if they'll credit me.

Customer loyalty are the reps that you get transfered to when you want to cancel . they will do almost anything to keep you with the company. They are traditionally called retention but Tmobile calls then customer loyalty. I've had them send me a brand new phone just to keep my business. Although it depends on how long you've been a customer, and I've you have credits given in the past. I used to work for Tmobile years and years ago and used to shadow these guys from time to time.

I haven't had any credits, and I've been a customer for two years but yea I've heard of retention, well I will try them if the next one is faulty again, I really don't want a different device but this stuff is just ridiculous, I have screen lift and a tiny screen leak that htc told me to be dangerous plus the camera issue

Im supposed to get mine today. Hopefully its acceptable enough for me to keep. Yeah I'd hate a different device also. There was a reason I chose this over sgs4.

Update: finally got my replacement in the mail. I'd have to say they really worked on getting me a zero gap device. Everything is aligned. No glue stocking out of the grills. No problems with the buttons. No gaps at all. Software is also running great. I was gonna call right away again if there were issues but I'm actually shocked they came through. Now to see how fast they can get 4.3 out.

And I must say, the adhesiveness is absolutely horrible. I tried to go with the 3 piece skin first, because it seemed nice, and it just wasn't cut out for the actual phone. Plus the corners never stayed down correctly. I tried the full body skin. Corners won't stay down plus the edges on the phone flare up. Just horrible situation right now.
????? r u able to get your money back ?

Should've used Dbrand skins. Haven't failed me yet.
Wow that's really disappointing since I've already order and it's on the way to me to receive by next week.
But still not have even the phone
With that huge delay in availability in Europe seems first will get the skin and the phone have to wait much further.
Totally frustrating.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll make sure to order any skins from DBrand.

I was impatient...
I don't think they give refunds anyway, just replacements.
Should I bite the bullet and go to DBrand or what?

Just go with dbrand. Mine came out almost perfect....remember to take your time. They are offering 30% off everything.
Btw, have you tried using the hairdrying on your sllickwrap?

I didn't, but I didn't feel like asking females on campus for a hairdryer either. All of the adhesion on the corners was gone anyway.
I received mine as well, this past Monday. I love using these types of skins, but there's always one of two issues. Either the skins themselves are imprecise, or my application is off. I ordered the black carbon fiber. I followed all the directions and made sure to use a hairdryer to apply the edges. In the end, it came out OK, but the edges are a little rough. I still have my full body skin and I just received my DBrand skin, just on case this skin doesn't last.
Here's some shots of my Slickwrap handy work.
