^that's the one I just ordered. Hope it's a good one.

This seems cheap, but idk what color to choose... Anyone know?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oninino:
I'm looking NTT Docomo battery cover, anyone have seen it or sell it? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Optimusg2x:
I just received my ebay back cover and it looks really good except for some paint smudges.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
post some pics for comparison?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sway40:
Got mine the other day, it looks perfect.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Optimusg2x:
I'll post some in a little bit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dream5hift:
I got mine off eBay and disappointed that it didn't fit. 2 bottom side tabs didn't snap in and one wasn't even lined up to the hole.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kelvino9:
Chances are you bought the wrong version for your Galaxy Nexus. The i9250 and the i515 both Galaxy Nexus are two very different variants. You need the specific battery cover for your model otherwise it will not fit at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dream5hift:
I did buy the i9250 version which I have. Sucks I couldn't use it. I'm changing to white housing anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dkotoric:
ill buy the i9250 version off of u

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dream5hift:
My phone is the i9250 gsm. I guess they gave me the i515 cover.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
look at the back of the lid, there is a serial code and a model number.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IINexusII:
Does anyone have the normal GSM back cover they wish to sell to me? I sold my limited edition cover and would like to have someones genine stock battery cover. PM me if youre willing to sell.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sway40:
You can go pick one up at a local atat for around 5$, I know verizon sells them on their site for that.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dream5hift:
I contacted eBay seller about getting wrong cover and they're sending a new one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sinergie:
Anyone succeed in ordering the Google employee cover from the following website?

http://www.yoybuy.com/en/Show/14882474363

It's cheap in comparison to the one being sold on Ebay and on Ebay you can only get used ones with some scratches on it for the GSM model and they still ask 20 dollars for it (should be max 10 dollars since it's not new anymore).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] d4rkmasta:
interested as well if anyone purchased this
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sinergie:
I ordered it, but still waiting for the item to get processed (at the moment it's some National Holiday there). After ordering I got a request to pay more (the item was actually 4 dollar). You can pay by adding money to your Yoybuy account with Paypal. If I understand it correctly, the item is first send to some Chinese adress and from there it will be shipped to your own adress. I will post my further findings here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stylez Ray.:
What to choose in the dropdown menu of this item?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sinergie:
The Android Robot Edition, I verified this with the Yoybuy purchaser.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sinergie:
Well my item should be soon on it's way to my home address, though the estimated delivery date is 2012/11/23.

That's because I chose the cheapest option for shipping method:

Below the payment details:

*Calculation of Service Fee: (Items Price+ Domestic Shipping)* 10%.Yoybuy minimum Service fee is 5.6USD. If the subtotal is less than 5.6USD, you will be charged 5.6USD.

If I went with DHL the total cost would have been 40 dollars.

So after all it's not really cheap in comparison with the item available on Ebay.

Also it seems the item is now no longer available for order at Yoybuy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lincolnskilz:
Seems like a interesting back cover! Looking into one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TeeRom:
sway40 quit being a ****.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sway40:
Doubt it's a legit one from Google, if it's the same one I got off eBay which exactly like the Google one, it's only 30$. Don't make it sound like you have something extremely valuable and rare. Don't wanna see anyone get screwed over something ridiculous. I don't think they had legit Verizon battery doors like this, just gsm.

Can anyone give me a working link for purchasing the cover ? I don't mind to buy from china..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wyattyoss:
There never was an "official" one for Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stylez Ray.:
Yes please, the link one page back doesn't work anymore and searching on that site gives 0 results now :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nhan Lam:
Found a guy sell them on ebay.

check out items : 271018332585 for GSM and 280947749334 for LTE
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sinergie:
What's the difference between those two?

Yes that's a known seller too bad all GSM items are used and scratched.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pilotlite:
Incorrect. I am typing this post from a Verizon Wireless gnex that came right from Google and has the limited edition back plate.

-Aaron
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sacksyboy:
I'd love to believe that but I was there when we received our phones in December at the Googleplex...there were no cdma(Verizon) phones handed out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pilotlite:
I'm sure you were. I'm also sure you work for Google and know exactly which phones and which devices were available to Google employees November of last year as their annual Christmas present.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wraith91:
I'd really love to get my hands on one of these covers and it would be even better if they made a version for the extended battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sinergie:
Well today I received mine from Yoybuy. Pretty fast considering the estimated delivery date was november 23th. It has some scratches on it (while the description stated "new"), but nothing I can't see past.

Very happy with my now none name branded phone :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whpsnp:
Thanks, just ordered one :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neilrl79:
Will any of these fit a Toro with the OEM extended battery? I contacted the eBay seller someone recently posted but they said it would not fit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nitrogen618:
They don't have it on Yoybuy anymore.. :(

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SocalTeknique:
I always wanted that door/cover but ended getting this one from the Japanese DoCoMo Gnexus for about $6.50 on eBay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ynrozturk:
That looks excellent. Could you post a direct link please? I couldn't find it for some reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SocalTeknique:
Sorry to revive this thread but I was wondering if anyone wants this battery door. Its the one from the Japanese DoCoMo Galaxy Nexus and I lightly used it on my gsm GNexus. $5 Pick up locally in Orange County California. Sorry if I violate any terms for posting this *will not work on Verizon or Sprint Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] michaelclaw:
I would totally want to buy that and have it shipped to me, but i have sprint :/ really nice back, good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rlamontjr:
mine came in the box.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FC1032:
So... any news on the Metallic back?? Is there a new batch with the right hooks for the GSM model? There's a white back with right hooks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ztm.000:
Could you post a link man?

Sent from a yakju GSGN
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rlamontjr:
it was from seller techbook4fun. it was the only one. i will say that while the back looks great, it makes the phone very slippery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
So sell it to me :)

No joke, I will seriously buy it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ztm.000:
Slippery doesn't matter.... and you can't search by seller on Amazon... hmmm. How much did you pay for it? I'll buy it.

Sent from a yakju GSGN
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Firerouge:
I will buy it from you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ztm.000:
Bid! Lol. I wouldn't mind one either! Someone said they'd pay $100 for it... that's a wayyyyy steep.

Sent from a yakju GSGN

We're gonna bid on an item thats not even up for bid?

Haha I'm just joking around, all in fun!

I mean.. I would bid if he would part with it... hahaha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ztm.000:
Oh me too, no doubt he doesn't sound too partial to it and I bet he could make a decent kill if he put it up for bid. Or maybe people with make them and sell them online. There's someone here who also picked one up from Amazon... its cool, but I do like the look of the stock back.

For whoever is looking for the white battery door:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/WHITE-ORIGI...ccessories&hash=item2317f882d3#ht_1669wt_1180

This is for GSM and its from a reputable seller, there is no LTE version, still looking for that custom Google one :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jekyoo_style:
man, people buy anything when it's labelled limited edition...even when it's ugly. If I saw the backing from far away, I would have thought someone bought a LV print back cover.

The best thing about the back is that it's the same finish and color as the whole phone. Get me a back WITHOUT the print please.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ztm.000:
I bought the brushed aluminium door. Didn't fit. I've been seeing new ones on eBay pop up. Someone posted the white one earlier... I think that would look terrible on this phone unless the whole phone's housing was white as well. I also wouldn't mind one without the decals but It's super cool if you're a Google nerd like me, that's all.

Sent from a yakju GSGN
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FC1032:
Pity :( I thought the brushed aluminium one looked the best out of stock, limited edition and white. One without decals would be cool too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] appledroid:
I wish there was a site that would provide actual customizable backs, I'd totally opt for one with the Google Logo in its normal postion and my name where the Samsung Logo is in. I would keep the default texture though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
there are a few, but its a stick on customization for whole phone.:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fdxgnd:
I have an authentic limited edition back. May sell if price is right. Its also the authentic Google edition phone too so not sure. But maybe. Anybody wanna make an offer
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] itsjusttim:
What else besides the back is different?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ogdobber:
why don't you put it on ebay and post a link here? from what I read so far, it should get pretty high
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I PMed you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cheesebanana:
i would have loved the original back, but with the google logo in colour

that'd be sexy as.

also my back NEVER fit:

http://youtu.be/N8HD6EM5a_M

samsung refuse to repair/replace this as a fault
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rlamontjr:
all of the back covers are like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Entree:
That's because it's not a fault (it's a FEATURE ;P lol)... I've never seen one that doesn't have a little flex to it. In fact, I hardly even notice mine unless I'm taking the back off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrewhansen86:
Mines not like that. Mine fits perfect. I have the Unlocked International version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mazubo:
Hey guys! I'm all for pimpin' out my gnex! I had some carbon fibre di-noc laying around and voila! I've received soooo many compliments for it..... I personally love the texture of it :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheunghko:
I would really like to know how is yours not flush?? Is there a problem with your nexus or backing ? There got to have a reason lol And i just luckly bought mine via ebay for 85+15 shipping to hk hopfully arrive next week someday cheeers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheunghko:
Btw there is still limited edition backing on auction on ebay ending in 3days. If u search hard enough:-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stenzor:
You know what, It would probably be pretty easy to take the original cover, make a mold from it, and then make a real carbon fiber version.. i mean easy for anyone who has worked with carbon fiber and molds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lookitzjohnny:
the backing is.. ohhh bent maybe? the part where the backing and bottom of the camera meets, there is a gap. the backing is risen a little bit when you press down it looks perfect and flushed. i put on the original backing and its fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mazubo:
That would def be pimp!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheunghko:
Thcats sucks! Why dont yout sell it then?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lookitzjohnny:
Its not a big deal to me. Its not that noticeable only when Im going to take out the battery cover.

lll live
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheunghko:
Can u upload a photo?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheunghko:
Anyone can confirm that this backing only available in GSM or LTE or both?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Willieumm:
I want one!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
Just gsm. My friend works at Google and opted for the vzw and his didn't have one.

I can confirm this as well as a FACT.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheunghko:
Not so soon lol i just saw a LTE one on ebay lol!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CB620:
I wanted one at first but I don't see the point especially if you use a case. The LE unit has a special imei for priority updates but again that doesn't matter either cause most of us are rooted and running a custom rom. It all comes down to personal preference. I guess it's just something to say you have.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xXJay_RXx:
I kinda want one but not if its at a ridiculous price. I tried searching on eBay but nada >=[
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mdh007:
Two sold on eBay in the last couple days for 80-100USD.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xXJay_RXx:
Damn really? o_O that's a bit much for just a battery cover. There must be some huge android fans out there....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
I think it's pointless, people is just gonna buy a case, so the battery cover will be covered.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shieze:
Not necessarily true. I don't use a case on my phone, but I won't pay $80 for one of these covers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sn0warmy:
We had a Google account manager come with us to a client conference over the weekend. He let me inspect the limited edition backing on his GNex since I had never seen one in person. While it was kind of cool, I really don't see the appeal. He even admitted that he would have preferred the standard backing on the GSM GNex since it has more of a texture to it.

In fact, he was so impressed with the quality of my Rearth Ringke Slim case that we sat down and ordered him one. So the backing will be permanently hidden anyway. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark.m.moran:
Just got my Galaxy Nexus today in Dublin, Ireland and it's the limited edition one. I have had the original GSM version too and have to say the backing on this one is cool to look at but from a practical point of view it is a LOT more slippery!!

Anyone know where I could buy the original textured back for the GSM version?

Cheers,

M
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Optimusg2x:
I sent you a pm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark.m.moran:
Just replied back.....in Ireland here mate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Rite, i was a dev back cover... i got one for my old NexusS. Does anyone know where a legit & maybe a fake one would be found? My GN is made in Korea.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knowran:
I got one and I love it. It matches the color of the phone. I don't use a case, so it looks great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Willieumm:
I'll give you mine plus cash for your Google employee version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phishie:
I would also like to get one of these if anyone is selling.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Optimusg2x:
I was trying to get a Google employee version. I wish I had one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark.m.moran:
Sent you another PM mate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xXJay_RXx:
Id love to have one of these too. Too bad I have the LTE version :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark.m.moran:
Have you a spare LTE version?? Does it fit the GSM version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Optimusg2x:
Sent you a pm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IINexusII:
do the orignal backing coveres have a slightly rubbery texture? i have the google limited edition (google employee from ebay :D) backing and it certianly feels good in my hand with the texture. i tried the SGP neo hybrid and that silicon texture was more slippery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xXJay_RXx:
Yea my Nexus is an LTE version and from what I heard the backing won't fit it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Droid_JD:
Did people really pay 100$ for these?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus, straight from Google!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xXJay_RXx:
Lol yes I seen people pay $80+
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Could you link me to the eBay item?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark.m.moran:
I too am trying to understand why??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IINexusII:
no i actually got the whole phone, with the google backing cover. the seller had got the phone as a gift from his google employee friend. you can see from the first picture that mine is too slightly raised at the bottom of the camera

:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark.m.moran:
Similar here but I bought it in Dublin off a local adverts site. Was not even expecting to get the limited edition version! Do we have a special IMEI or something too??

Cheers,

M
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IINexusII:
i think so, something to do with getting OTA's early, but i have AOKP running anyway so it wouldnt matter
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] d3sm0nd:
These covers look awesome... hope they pop up on the internet for a lower price! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I would even get a fake.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jwerb:
Should have checked this thread out earlier. I just sold a Google Employee Battery cover for $90.00 shipped. What is the max you guys would pay?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OSully:
Totally want one for lte.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wastegate13:
For me it was simple. I have a Google edition Nexus One cover on my ATT Nexus One so I wanted the same for my Galaxy Nexus. I will be on the lookout for a Google edition Nexus S to complete my collection as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xXJay_RXx:
$50 MAX with a little bit of my manhood dying inside :p

Sorry bro only "die hard" android fans would pay $100 for a piece of plastic
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark.m.moran:
Do eBay give free listings ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meeporox:
PM me if anyone interested in selling theirs.

thanks:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
If anyone find a good deal for a back cover. Let me know!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juju2lose:
This one is really nice
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samarth1:
I have the GNex limited edition cover, and I have to say its a little slippery compared to the OEM battery cover (both standard and extended). Because of the printing of the icons on the back, I guess Google needed to use a smooth back to retain uniformity. It looks very nice though!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BuddyJoe83:
Ever since I saw this battery cover, I am hooked!

Checking eBay very, very often to see one popping up. Would love to get my hands on this + would spend some on it ;)

But as crazy as the earlier biddings on eBay I wouldn't wanna go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
do you think these will pop up in china shenzhen, previously i picked up some nexus s android edition cover and white covers, so hopefully these will show up, i'm going to shenzhen china for 2-3 day next month, i'll see if they are available, hopefully they won't be expensive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Let me know what happens :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dkotoric:
I'm also interested in one of these, if someone has one please PM me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] konman795:
ugh, why is it taking so long for the knockoffs to come out. lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BuddyJoe83:
hehe had to 'thank' that :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Hahaha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yegoshin:
The IMEI has nothing to do with updates, the account attached to the phone does. I heard there was warranty trouble with Samsung at first but they worked it out and those phones do indeed have a 1 year warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
nice thinking, but I dont think any will be available, you might find them with different design but not identical, the last version nexus s also had a limited edition cover, they were hard to find, but fake ones hasn't showed up, you might even get covers with LV, gucci or prada in china, but a fake limited edition....no way.

I could let go of it for the right price. My buddy works at Google and gave me the phone (iphone fanboy). Love the phone but I can part with the limited edition cover.

PM me if you are interested.

EDIT: tried to post a pic but it says I don't have permission, sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TrueYears:
People seriously paid 100 bucks for one? Be cheaper to take it a jewelry shop and ask if they could laser engrave a logo for you. At least thats what I am asking a friend of mine who owns a Epilog Zing laser system.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sacksyboy:
Different strokes for different folks. What is a diamond to some may be manure to you...and vice versa.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheunghko:
mine finally arrived!! well worth the $85 bucks i reckon.:p the camera bottom does pop a bit but then my original does pop up a bit as well just didn't notice until now and both pop up is too little that can be totally ignore.

*my fd said it looks like a woman's purse now*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AstroLuigi:
The handsets that were given to Google employees are covered by Samsung's warranty as long as you don't tell them it is an unlocked device :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OJ in Compton:
What do you mean "don't tell them it's unlocked?"

If you just call and give them the IMEI they'll accept it for warranty?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
checking the imei, samsung will have all the details, this has nothing to do with unlocking.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nadavfima:
If anyone is up to sell one of those, please contact me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reverepats:
Ahh wow thats frakken awesome...They only made those backing for GSM Models correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sacksyboy:
Mine is GSM but my buddy who gave the phone to me (Google Employee) told me they asked him which carrier he was using before they gave him the phone...which leads me to believe there may possibly be a CDMA version as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mca312:
Ohhh, this makes sense now. I have that backing with the Google egrips too. That is probably why I have 4.0.3 installed even though I am not rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheunghko:
i can confirm there is both GSM and LTE version of the backing. i bought the gsm one but there was one on ebay i asked if his backing are LTE one and he said yes and yes and yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sadasasimile:
How many are interested?

I was wondering how many of you are interested because I may have access to 3d printer and some solid works experience
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] digitaltelex:
I am definitely interested.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark.m.moran:
Would be cool!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gh32:
I'm interested in buying a cover if I can find one at a good price. Feel free to PM or shoot me a link.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mca312:
The nice thing about having this cover is it matches the rest of the housing, opposed to the normal one.

edit: I'll sell mine (LTE version). I've had it for 2 months and didn't even know it was different until 2 days ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hugebulge:
it does feel a little slippery without the texture on the regular backing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jumaaneface:
I'll buy it from you. What price?
