:( seems like it won't work on the GSM version... hopefully there will be a GSM version later on.

As for the limited edition looking like LV... ya that was what I thought the first running saw it. Makes it look... tacky
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marky9074:
You do realise Samsung is not a country :p:D

It clearly states 'made in Korea by Samsung'....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
during the next few weeks, i'm sure gnex battery covers in all styles will be available in shenzhen , china, including LV (fake).

it's a loop hole, according to the law, for manufacture, they must state where the phone is made, and some dont like to state the actual country, so it's made by samsung on my phone, nokia like to have made by nokia etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
are you serious? i thought according to law manufacturers are required to state country of manufacture on the product. my nokia phones have been made in finland. samsung made in korea. motorola made in taiwan i think. is blackberry made in canada?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
many phone companies that have phones in hong kong will state

made by samsung

made by nokia

made by motorola

my phone from hong kong has it on the phone and the box.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
hmmm... wonder if that was not meant to be imported. i haven't seen that before. thanks. so now you could say i think it was made in australia or zimbabwe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
many of the first batches of phone usually state the countries, this have been going for years, motorola and nokias are the first to do this, samsung only in recent years, as samsung sales in recent years has been bloomming, especially with their well known slider phones and android phones.

aww your backing fits nice mine is blahhh the bottom of camera is not flush.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mortal300:
where'd u get urs?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lookitzjohnny:
got mine from craigslist. got the phone with the back casing. its just a bit off not a big deal but i rather have it like how yours is. the regular backing fits perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rlamontjr:
i got my Google version from amazon from a third party seller. my back fits perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alpha Class:
if it had something creative like the adp1 or even the mini androids of the nexus s i would have gotten it, but it just looks too wacky as it is

Ill buy any of your limited edition battery covers for $100

PM me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] konman795:
Wait, did yall get the phone with the limited edition backing on it already or did you find the backs separate? If separate, please post the link to it!!!! I NEED one!!! lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meeporox:
Received mine today.The ebay version appears slightly darker (just slightly) than my limited edition.

The plastic material around the camera hole at the back is slightly more 'plasticky' than the original one.

Apart from that, I can't tell any other different. I think one wouldn't be able to tell which one is real if it is put next to each other

just my 2 cent. Pics to be uploaded later tonight :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 0mie:
There was about 3 people from this thread who ordered one from me, they were delivered today...so let me know how you guys like them :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mizatt14:
Received yours and the limited edition from eBay (the $35 batch) I like how yours looks in person. As for the "Google limited", its the same knock off that everyone was getting for $14 as well. It does look quite unique though. I'll take some pics of both today.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Do you have any more for the i9250?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
Mate after what you been through on here you deserve one free! If I had a spare I'd send it but unfortunately I don't. They look great though ;)

Anybody selling the Google Limited Battery Door for the i9250? Or has an eBay link?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IRageQuitHard:
Same here, I REALLY want to buy one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harris.milist:
Yeah, me too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Samiam303:
I picked up one of the $39.99 ones on ebay only to realize right after I placed the order that it was for the i9250 rather than the i515 which I have. The quality on it looks great, I can't discern any difference between it and the photos posted of "real" ones. When I get home tonight I'll post up a thread about it in the For Sale forum, but I just thought I'd mention it here too -- if anyone wants to buy it for what I payed, I'll be happy to sell it, or I'd be even happier to trade it for one for the i515 if someone out there is in the inverse situation of mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IRageQuitHard:
I'll buy it from you! Except the PM system thingy for me isn't working...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iPathik:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iPathik:
Does the Verizon Nexus back covers fit the GSM one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sacksyboy:
No...unfortunately not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iPathik:
That sucks man, my back cover is not fitting in right i guess i screwed it up somehow, the bottom 3 pieces wont go all the way in...So i was considering replacing it one of these limited edition ones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sacksyboy:
If and when you can find it on Ebay,I think both versions are for sale so you just have to keep looking or just buy another stock cover on Ebay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mwinggg:
i use case anyway so i still use the stock one

what case u guys suggest to pair with this cover?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sacksyboy:
the best one out there is...nothing. Bare bones is great unless your nickname in school was butter fingers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DynamicRam:
any idea on how to remove the samsung logo from the stock cover ?

in the nexus s any eraser would've done the job
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sacksyboy:
When you say remove you mean erase, yes? It's a press mold.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rdoane:
If anybody has a Verizon version PM me if you're interested in selling. I've been looking for ages for one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pnnorth:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nawfboy09:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pnnorth:
Can't believe they are still selling for close to $100 - wish I'd got a few more now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnydopemsr:
I'm going to sell mine I got it on eBay for $39 looking to get that n price of shipping if anyone is interested. It came with light scratches on it I'll try to get photos of it tomorrow n upload it. Other then that its great. It fits the i9250 model GSM. If someone offers me more as well I'll just have u pay me through paypal. I do have eBay account n am 100% from selling n buying. I think I have like 48 feedback. I'll be back with pix tomorrow.:)

found a seller on ebay for those interested. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UnknownPleasures:
Obviously (IMO) a knockoff and a VERY expensive one at that!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sacksyboy:
That's a pretty obtuse statement. Why would it need to be based on your opinion if it's obvious?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
the link got me up but then when i saw the pic....uhhhmmm never mind. still thanks to meeporox though for giving the link. at least they're starting to come out again. it's been awhile.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meeporox:
I got one from eBay when someone was selling them at about £10. It looks exactly the same as the genuine one I got earlier from someone here.

My point is if they look almost exactly the same, why not just buy the cheaper version. There is no need to spend the extra money. Additionally, the value of these thing won't go up much . It is just a phone cover.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UnknownPleasures:
"100% Original and new, more than 10 available, ships from Hong Kong"

Forgive me for having reservations for believing its "not real"

Sure its probably almost the same thing, but I doubt it came from a Google employee.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meeporox:
Erm, may be the sellers got the cover from the factory that manufactured the genuine cover? who knows:p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sacksyboy:
I know, right. I'm sure the factory that press molded 1,000 per press just said, "we have to figure out how to press only 62 in this last one because that's the exact number Google asked for."

Not to mention Samsung likely uses a vendor for these parts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masterkamon842:
The nexus i got for my one s was a google employee edition and came with it. I'll sell it if i find a good buyer. They have to give me their backplate also.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sacksyboy:
Not sure where you got yours from but mine was given from a friend working at Google and the phone came with the original and limited edition backing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masterkamon842:
Ditto. I got mine the same way but it was trade. That is what i said...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masterkamon842:
So vx117 and I have been PMing and we made a deal, he payed me already and I'm pretty sure we'll meet up to do the trade, his stock backing and my google edition backing. Turns out we both live in NY =]

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
Here's an eBay listing for a Limited Edition Galaxy Nexus for $500, not a bad deal since the phone can be had new for $435ish so you're paying $70ish for the cover itself.

EDIT: It's $500 + $65 shipping

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cbbplanet:
i have one of the google limited edition back plate as well.. I actually got the phone from my a buddy who use to work at google. but didn't know these back plates are worth so much haha. I guess I don't mind selling mine since I still have the original battery cover. PM me your offers if you want for the battery cover.

ps. its GSM version
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phaze one:
Yo dudes, here's the deal. I got a couple GSM Google Limited Edition knockoff battery doors from one of our korean suppliers trying to get us to buy these. Out of the one's he gave us only one looks good enough to use. So if someone wants to pay for the shipping you can have it. THIS IS NOT A PRODUCT I SELL OR ENDORSE AT ALL. IT HAS ZERO TO DO WITH GRÜVER CONCEPTS AND OUR PRODUCT LINE. I AM ONLY OFFERING THIS AS A GIFT BECAUSE I KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT DO NOT WANT OUR LASER ETCHED GOOGLE LIMITED EDITION. I AM VERY SERIOUS AND COMMITTED TO PROVIDING THE BEST PRODUCTS POSSIBLE WHICH IS WHY I USE ONLY OEM BATTERY DOORS AND NOT 3RD PARTY CRAP. I REPEAT THIS IS JUST A GIFT, PLEASE DO NOT COMPLAIN OR BELITTLE MY COMPANY AND MY PRODUCTS BECAUSE OF THIS. I AM ALMOST HESITANT TO GIVE THIS THING AWAY BECAUSE IT IN NO WAY REPRESENTS GRÜVER CONCEPTS AND OUR QUALITY. IT IS A 3RD PARTY KOREAN KNOCKOFF. IF YOU ACCEPT THIS THEN YOU'VE AGREED TO MY TERMS AND YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GETTING. OTHERWISE I'LL SMASH IT TO BITS WITH A HAMMER THAN HAVE OUR NAME TARNISHED. If you accept my terms and want it PM me. Thanks, Phaze One.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
I think the mail lady isn't doing her job properly, it's the service that requires a signature, it's not upto the mail lady decide on that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Anyway, registered articles will require a signature over here.

I do agree that it's not for the mail lady to decide, but it may be because the articles she gave me were not registered article and are over sized and not able to fit in the mailbox. The articles were shipped using Standard International from Amazon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cbbplanet:
just wondering for people that have sold their battery backs on here, how much are they usually worth??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sacksyboy:
I sold my original for $110...back when they first came out in December and the hype was high. Now that you see a bunch on Ebay I imagine much less than that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cbbplanet:
Hmm highest offer for my battery cover is $30 shipped so not sure if I should wait or sell it because that seems like a pretty low price

Just wondering... If you don't own a Google gnex, why try to be a poser? Seems a bit pathetic to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] earlyberd:
What happens if a Google employee with their limited edition phone gets fired? Do they still get to use their phone, or are they now a poser? I own the NTT Docomo limited edition battery cover, but I don't live in Japan and I bought the UK version of the Nexus. Does that make me a weeaboo?

Some people just like the design and feel of the battery cover. Take your childish negativity elsewhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
None exist afaik.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pilotlite:
I think you took my question the wrong way. If you can buy or (or were given in my case) a Google gnex then good for you, enjoy it.

I have an issue with people buying/selling knockoffs of something that is supposed to be limited and special. I like the design and feel of a Ferrari F-40, but if some idiots started making repops out of old Pontiac fieros wouldn't that be just as wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ddgarcia05:
No, not everyone can afford a Ferrari. If owning a Ferrari repop makes them happy let it be.

cheapest google cover i found

http://www.yoybuy.com/en/show/14882474363/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IINexusII:
The difference between the fake and the real is quite easy to spot. the one on the left is a original type cover which i got from china, which i am using now because it is slightly more gripper than the limited one i have on the right.

from the ripoff ones ive seen on this thread, you can easily notice that the genuine covers have this sort of sticker placed on the bit around the camera, as you can see on the right. compared to no sticker on the oem original cover on the left.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] illestChronicle:
What sticker are you referring to? Because I have two knockoffs that look exactly the same on the backside as the "Original" one you posted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
you can't compare the limited one with a normal, they are completely different.

try comparing normal with normal and limited version with limited version.

the absent of the stick don't indicate it's a fake.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IINexusII:
this sticker, is yours like the one on the right or left?

from the other pictures ive seen people posting, the part im talking about is the same with the limited and original covers. if you look at AppReviewa's video you can see that his original cover has the matt type sticker, and the limited edition one he has does not, which is the opposite for me

post 329, 341, 356 show what im talking about, and post 434 seems to have the genuine one. I may be wrong though, but from what i've seen in this thread it seems to be the case between real or fake.

sooo i hope my original one holds some value when i decide to sell it :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
it's only a hype, but you wont get the price that's available when it was first released like over USD 80, if you can sell it like USD 40 for a non scratched one, yo're still lucky.:p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] illestChronicle:
Ah I see what sticker you're talking about. Yeah both of mine don't have that. I just bought an authentic Employee GNex and can't wait to see what the REAL thing looks like in person!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nawfboy09:
have yet to see an authentic one for sale for the Verizon GNEX and recently saw that they had one for the Verizon GNEX and GSM Version on ebay but was wondering if it was worth $20, and has anyone from here purchased it as it says 4 have bought the cover (i515 Cover).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grajasekar:
I have an original Google limited edition backplate myself (which I use, but I doubt I'll be able to use them when the extended battery comes in later this month.)

I don't see why anyone would sell it at a low price though, frankly I would just keep it. It's nice to have something different. I got mine when I exchanged my new-unopened-in-the-box Verizon G-Nex for a brand new phone that a Google Employee wanted to trade for a VZW one. So kinda got lucky there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arathur:
Limited-edition Google battery cover!

You guys, I saw the limited edition battery cover on ebay. I don't know if it's officially one of the ones that Google employees got, but it looks identical:

Ebay item #: 160799910732

(only 3 left!)

Ebay item #: 160801541698

(only 8 left!)

These are the only two I can find on ebay. Both are "But It Now," price at $35, and free shipping. I tried to post the URLs but I can't post links because I don't have enough posts yet. I personally can't justify wasting $35 on this but I guess some of you guys are interested.

The quality of it so far seems good and can't complain...don't have an extra camera at the moment, but will try upload pics of how it looks on the GNEX. And it may seem slippery from looking at it but when holding it in your hands or pulling it out of your pocket, it feels as if it has some anti grip coating which is nice.
