Wow, very nice job. Great video tutorial. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] japaneezy:
That's completely awesome. Thanks a ton for the vid. I simply cannot wait to do this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lemonspeakers:
Okay it's fake. The paint is coming off. But aside from that, is the build of comparable quality? If I drop the fake one, will it break easier than the authentic one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Da Kine:
Did anyone really think that these were authentic housings lol....there $25....only sold on eBay.....and ships from China.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arzbhatia:
You really can't make out its fake though. They've done a great job replicating it! And the sellers are nice too, they refunded me half the amount cuz the housing I got had a small wear mark on its back. As for the dropping thing, I really don't know. It seems exactly the same.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaspirr:
fake housing, real housing. It's the same plastic in the same shape. It's kind of hard to have a fake piece of plastic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arzbhatia:
Just got the white one! the quality is AMAZING! SO much better than the titanium silver i got. It's GREAT!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tommebaas:
Wow it feels like a new phone!

It looks really sexy :P

Damn I did not expect this to be so easy.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Trekfan422991:
Everybody who saw mine after I swapped it thought I had a new phone.. And they were like.. Your new phone looks sweet.. I like the nothing on the front. Haha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FC1032:
looks like the One X :p

I'm a little curious to why there aren't that many custom back battery covers. I'd like a black one that looks like the front
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DocJ8403:
I just sold my soul to the devil & purchased a white S3 - ONLY because my Nexus kicked the bucket. After seeing these pictures, I think I'd rather get another GN rather than a Nexus 4. Granted its no longer the fastest & biggest bully on the block but there's just something about it... I skimmed through the thread, so I may have missed my following question, but has anyone thought about painting the back a matte-blackish color? I, along with many of you I'm sure use to get compliments on how they loved the front display because of the deep blacks , no branding & simplicity, so just imagine if the whole phone was of the same black? Pure sex!Photoshop anyone? :)

Ohhhh & *cough* if anyone is looking for an unlocked new S3 *cough*, I just happen to know a little birdy who has one for trade lol - Food for thought ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Da Kine:
I was actually thinking with painting the original gray housing that came with my nexus either matte white or matte black...have decided lol, once I do it in either color I'll post pics of it here.

What is the little birdy looking for in a trade for their white S3 ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] finbaar:
Has anyone found a GSM extended battery cover in white?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FC1032:
Anyone able to find one available locally in HK?

I tried to ask a HK seller if I could go to their shop to pick it up, but they won't do it... I prefer it to just pick up, much quicker!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sergini:
I'm buying this one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/261132016275

Hope its easy to install.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] altimax98:
I'm cautious of anyone spelling words wrong in a listing lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohawker2000:
the problem with those is the color fades so quick. hard to find something as high quality as the original
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oshax:
I'm considering buying the white or even a replacement titanium. If I knew these were so cheap I never would have bought a protective case for mine... $20 and you have a new phone!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SlCKB0Y:
Regardless of whether this is real or fake, it is a piece of molded plastic, the margins on these things are hge even at $25.

So what? Almost everything these days is made in China.

I'm not convinced these are fakes. Over the years I've bought many housings for many different phones and other electronic devices.

Most of the time, whilst the outside will look ok, the inside is a dead give away. They almost never have the same level of detail and almost never fit as well.

I spent a good 5 minutes comparing the inside of the housing the phone came with and the one I bought. Literally every tiny ridge and clip is replicated on the white eBay one and there is no evidence of plastic flashing or molding errors.

If the one I have here is fake, it is by far the best one I have ever seen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] finbaar:
I fitted my white housing on the 24th, so I go a new phone as an early Christmas present. It is a pity there is no gsm extended white battery cover. Still it looks great.

Fake or real. So what.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FC1032:
Gave in and bought one.

18aud is quite a nice price considering some cases can almost be the same price.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rob151515:
Where did you get one for 18 AUD?

Been looking around but cheapest I can find is approx 35 AUD.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FC1032:
Im in HK and ordered one from taobao. Was 140hkd, which translates to about 18aud. If I'm not mistaken, eBay offers should be around that too (and below 35aud)

Arrived today :) fits great, though it was a bit hard to get it out of the old shell
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rob151515:
OK thanks. How do you rate it against the shell that came with it? Does it feel cheap at all?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FC1032:
I find nothing wrong with it. Only difference if that the white battery cover doesn't come in extended battery version and that it seems smoother than the original.

As for the rest, it's only been a day, been fine, not cheap at all. I think I might have not fit it in as well as I could, the bottom left corner is ever so slightly higher than the other corners.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] semihbalcioglu:
i bought the original white one but not so happy because it has the faulty V3U00M chip. i wish i had the old shipped black nexus. anyway here are some pics
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FC1032:
What's this fault chip? And how can I see if I have a good or bad one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigboy0723:
I am from Canada. The cheapest one that I can find from eBay is around US $35.00. Do you have the link to the taobao seller?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rptw:
seems like prices have really gone up since i got mine
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rob151515:
Yeah looks like it the one I was watching on eBay for 35 AUD doesn't have power and volume buttons either...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FC1032:
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=2013.1.1509421-393387582.16.F5Iv0J&id=16652451301

I think that's the one I used, it even comes with the tools you'd need (though I still ended up using some cards to take the screen off). Taobao is a big hassle if you don't have someone situated in china :( even HK is a hassle since not all places are willing to ship here

EDIT: My bad, didn't notice the Ebay ones for 18 have no buttons and white battery cover :( sorry
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] semihbalcioglu:
this chip makes the phone unusable if you have less than 3,5 gb free memory in your phone. everything slows down 10-20 times.

you can check this thread

Poor perfomance writing on data

and if you wanna buy a new gnex, make sure to check if it has V3U00M or not. you can check it with this app. if it has this chip, never ever buy it.

eMMC Brickbug Check
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FC1032:
Thanks!

Seems like mine is fine
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evochuck:
Got mine for 22 bucks shipped to Canada and I must say im realy not impressed.

All the edges were realy sharp, the back cover is incredibly slippery. Probably going to take it off in a few days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rob151515:
Did you get it off eBay?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evochuck:
Yes sir, from ebay user forceviewer_uk, I would definitely not recommend it though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rptw:
you probably just got a bad one, if you look at his ratings and previous posts in this thread and myself, the product is very high quality, people would go as far as to say they are originals. all white models are a bit slipperier, that was a given. I wouldn't discredit the buyer just because you preferred if it was less so.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abhishek93:
Can some1 plz provide me with a link to order one specially a seler who ships to india and as i cant make account on paypal so is there any seller who accept debit card.. :(

Sent from my Nexus Prime.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lost_:
I bought this one from seller forceviewer_uk. It's OEM as far as I could tell, down to the tiniest details. It took 10 minutes at most to install and looks really good.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/271102769472

Came with 1 pry tool and 2 screw drivers (only need one), $22.70 shipped to US, almost 2 weeks from China but it was the holidays.

EDIT: no sharp edges at all. The battery cover does feel a little slicker than the gray one, but not slippery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rob151515:
Volume and power buttons?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rptw:
yes
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stepd:
Hi all, i'm from italy and I bought this one from seller goto736 on ebay

www ebay it /itm/300836671493

Just perfect
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lost_:
As rptw above said, yes. I compared the white from forceviewer_uk and the gray OEM side-by-side. They are identical down to the tiniest details. There are a lot of notches, grooves and what-not on the hidden side and everything is there on the white one. Even the Google logo on the batt. door is raised and detailed. The level of details point to it being an OEM as it's not worth cloning and then produce only white color. A clone would have come in many different colors by now.

The only difference is the color and texture.

If anyone is concerned about the slicker texture, put some eGrips stickers on the back. They sell clear ones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Minato04:
can someone post an original white and a "modified" one aside?

maybe don't tell which of them is the original at first, like it's a game. Then after X posts, give the right answer lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gideonMorrison:
Ugh, I nicked my original white Gnex the other day. Kind of annoyed by it, ocd for the win. Looking to get a new white housing, but Forceviewe_uk doesn't seem to sell them anymore. What to do...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] julian_fern:
Hello guys,

Does anyone have any more working links? I can't find one on eBay, and I really want to buy this. My friend gave me his GN, but the titanium cover is kinda broke... like, full of marks and stuffs, so I wanted to switch to the white housing.

So, does anyone have working links? Need something that can ship to Brazil :)

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lost_:
Try Aliexpress

but more expensive
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] julian_fern:
Thanks! I'm trying to find something here at Brazil or Paraguay, because while the items are cheap and the shipping is free, I have to pay a LOT of taxes to actually have the item in my hands.

I got a $ 20.00 item from eBay sometime ago and paid about $ 50.00 on taxes. Silly me, thinking I was getting a great deal...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siewkaiyek:

has anyone tried a test / dummy galaxy nexus before?

Is the case the real one? I would like to buy a dummy because it looks like half the price from the other listings I see around on aliexpress and ebay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FC1032:
I might be wrong, but the dummies I've seen in real life will most definitely not work.

The dummies I saw, you can't take the back cover off. Which would also mean there's no cut out for battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kiotsukete:
Seriously want to buy a white housing now because of that tutorial, if only they weren't so overpriced..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plasticdarlow:
I'm in the same boat. I'm sure they will come down in price soon.... just hopefully soon enough :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ardeban:
Make it three.

I also have a friend working on samsung repair house, so all I have to do is buy the cover and buy him a beer, but I don't want the cover to cost me like twenty beers xD

Awesome Tutorial. Is there any news on an LTE case yet? and is the break down just as easy?

Amazing tutorial. :eek:

I have the LTE gNex and I have book-marked the sites/sellers that have been mentioned so far in this thread; once I hear word of the LTE version I will be placing an order.

A white 32gb LTE Nexus sounds like heaven to me. I'm sure there are many who are in the same boat.

There's two threads on it here in the accessory boards, its from eBay (overseas). There's a thread that says "Best $5 case," thats where I heard of it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
Before anyone starts to question me about posting this in the wrong thread, i think this is post fits in this thread more.

mercury has released this screen protector, it's available in different colours to match their cases which is also available in different colours, but I think it will match the white case/shell perfectly well, the package comes with two protectors, one all anti glare clear and one anti glare with different colour boarder, in this case it's the white one that the photo is showing.

price wise from where I took the photo is HKD 68 (USD 8.8), so the prices can be cheaper or more expensive depending where you get it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pewpewbangbang:
Interesting....would definitely make the Galaxy Nexus nicer with the white housing now. But yea, I'd like a blacked out galaxy nexus variant

You lucky ducks with the white housing, have you noticed any discoloration at all? It's not something I considered until I got a white case that will not come clean :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] al2x:
True, can anyone comment on this? Normally about 60% of the time i'm in jeans, which normally leave blue indigo dye all over any white material that come in contact with my pockets...

Is the Nexus susceptible to any color rub-off?

They just had to put that mercury logo right smack on the top of the screen -__- lol, otherwise it would've been a solid buy.

Its pretty expensive to buy the battery door and the housing. 20eur for door and 30 for the housing.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EVIL JIMMY:
This won't void your warranty, if you're worried about that. There aren't any void stickers, so they will never know! ;)

Just pop the grey back on if you need to make a claim!

The seller also have housing + door bundle. But they're not with buy it now option, only with bids.

(I really wish they would just make a true, full white Nexus. Let us decide whether we're okay with the black menu buttons against white skin or not. They do it for the Galaxy S2 and Note lines, I don't see why not for Nexus. Makes very little sense to me. The half-white half-black just looks like a half-a$$ job.)

Very much thinking about purchasing such a white body and putting it on my Gnex. Just wondering if people here expect the price to go down?

I mean I found titanium housing for 14.50 Euro. Seems quite a difference in price between the white and the titanium ones...

Anyone now/can see if that titanium one is the real deal btw?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thacounty:
Get titanium and paint it white? Maybe you could paint it another color? Just a suggestion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
It's amazing how the Titanium Housing is under $20 on ebay, with battery door included. That's cheaper than most cases! I might buy one just in case I get a scratch and go caseless now, but I have the White Model so I may have to wait a while. Then again, I could just convert it to Grey for a while ;)
