I love this case. I got the matte black and i'm using it with the extended battery LTE. The front lip is perfect; It barely comes up above the screen, but keeps the phone from touching the surface when you have the phone facing screen down, which I prefer to do. The screen protector is decent. Because of the way the protector is cut at the top, the protector actually stays down and doesn't start peeling up at the top like most other protectors of this type.

Only thing I didn't like about the case is the fit with the standard battery. It fits, but not perfectly. A little gap between the case and the battery door is left. Not a big deal since I don't use the standard battery.

Best case I've tried so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rault18:
Yes it does..even if u try to take it out with mega care if u do it constantly.(more than4 times a week) it will def do some little scratches. I dont remove it often so its not an issue for me

U should use aokp from team kang...hanvet have to do a hard reset in so long i even forgot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
I heard putting tape on the corners help. I put it there just incase but I've only taken the phone out of the case once.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rault18:
Never thought of that!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] norm12:
How does the screen protector stack up to others? I ordered the case the other day and am happy it comes with one and extra plugs
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Me either but someone earlier on this forum suggested doing that to help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] randpost:
some pictures of my case. I tried to get the cases front face lip in the picture to show that you can set it face down without a problem. Using the extended battery with LTE version. I swear this camera pics up every little speck of dust. Please ignore, I'm a filthy animal :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
So after using this case for one week. I can say that this is the BEST case I've used. It's simply perfect providing minimal protection (not sure how it would do when it comes to handling a drop). Better grip on the phone, feels a lot better in the hand.

Absolute perfection, would recommend :) and case gets easier to take off after you do it once or twice (in my opinion).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] charleshenrysmith@comcast:
Good review! I purchased this case in white (GSM version) and I found it was a bit slick and while i wasn't to fond of the rubber inserts for the micro usb and head phone input, I'm getting used to them.

This case is hands down the BEST case I've ever seen or used.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rault18:
My exact same thoughts !!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rault18:
You r welcome! Glad u like it!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cade80:
After seeing this thread I though I found the perfect case, its exactly what I'm looking for. So I head over to rearthusa.com and try to order the noble black slim case for gsm, as imo its the sexiest case. I had my heart set on this case, thinking the matte black is too matte and the metallic is to shiny and white just isn't my style. However, to my dismay it is unavailable and after emailing their sales staff I am informed that the only color I am interested has been discontinued due to problems with manufacturing that color. SOMEONE HELP ME FIND AN AWESOME LIGHT WEIGHT CASE!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rault18:
This sucks :( have u tried ebay? maybe some 3rd party sellers racked up on them and you might b able to find it

good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cade80:
Well considering they stopped making them due to build quality issues I don't really want to buy one from a less reputable dealer tbh.

I find your reviews very helpful, any chance that you have a metallic ringke slim you could do a video on? The difference between the looks on their site and some pics I've found online are very different and was wondering what it really looks like.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rault18:
Actually that's the one I rock :) the metallic is my main case. Check my Channel and search for ringke. I have both the slim for GSM and the lte one both on metallic
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carlost24:
If anybody got the matte black lte version for sale in nyc pm me ill take it off your hands asap...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kl323:
Has anyone tried this with the Verizon holsters?

I currently use the Androidified case with it. Works well, but case a little too thick for my liking (tho it isn't THICK thick).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrsbelpit:
How's the metallic one holding up for you? I just ordered it for my GSM, I love the metallic look. My concern is that I had the case mate metallic one for my other phone, and through taking it off/on and lying the phone face down, the metallic chipped and under was black plastic. Looked like hell. Thanks for any info, and for the review :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rault18:
Honestly I'm the worst person to be careful with cases and phones and this ringke had only minor scratches . The discoloration is only happening in the very corners and its so minimal I can't even see it specially cause the bezel of the phone is black. Also the metallic look is dark which helps a lot .

So from a case maniac that destroys cases ..I can tell u this case will survive :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrsbelpit:
Thanks! Glad to hear it, it's a great looking case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jase33:
I would like to know how similar in color and shade is the metallic case to the color of the LTE nexus. Would someone with this case please let me know? It is so hard to tell from the pictures and videos. Some make it look almost identical in color while others make it look mirror finish.

*edit for spelling errors:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrsbelpit:
Is the LTE version the same as the GSM color? Titanium? I would say the'yre not too close, but they go together very well. The case is dfinitely silvery while the phone is charcoal-y.

Thanks again rault18 for the review. I love this case. Looks beautiful on the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] suprafreak1000:
I'd say the case is a few shades lighter, but at certain agnles/light looks pretty damn close color wise. Very happy that I chose this over the matte(Hate fingerprints) and the white. Blends really well with the phone imo.

Here's my pics if they help anyone at all in choosing,

[Atrix 4G General] :
My Atrix's screen randomly stopped displaying anything. You can see that the backlight turns on and off but nothing ever displays. The screen isn't physically damaged and the touch sensor is also functioning just fine. If I plug it into my Lapdock - I can use the phone with no issues, I'll just never get any sort of display on the cellphone's screen (Outputs to Lapdock's screen just fine).

Any ideas or suggestions?
[Atrix 4G General] barry_:
are you able to adjust screen settings when you're on lapdock? (and does this change anything?)

It does sound a hardware issue with your screen... maybe others on here can offer more help :cool:
[Atrix 4G General] :
Just tried playing around with the settings - no luck :(

Do you think maybe the display cable somehow disconnected? I'm not sure how the Atrix is designed but I think you'd normally have a separate cable for backlight, touch, and display. Maybe I'll try disassembling it and report back.

I feel really stupid.... but i can't seem to get my sensation 4g to s-off. i have perm root. got that no prob by going to htc and getting token ID. Please have mercy on my best example of "stupid android rooter wana-be" ... please?
[HTC Sensation] DarkRaven66:
What exactly were the steps you did for the perm root
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
If you used the HTC Dev method to unlock your device, then it is not going to say S-off as it does not fully unlock your device. The below quote is straight from GPS HTC Dev site.
[HTC Sensation] Alltaire:
steps

I start with "Guide to Installing S-off, Unlocking, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on" walk through and end up having to step through "step 2" and thats where i am. spinning my wheels. my phone will not recognized the PG58IMG file. :cool:
[HTC Sensation] Alltaire:
no it says "unlocked"
[HTC Sensation] iNeedICS:
Make sure the file is still zipped and try using revolutionary

There's a toolkit by hasoon maybe you should check that out too that's what I used
[HTC Sensation] Alltaire:
it is...now i cant get anything to see my phone. reinstalled drivers and still nothing...:mad:
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
I don't know what you can do but installing the drivers won't work, because the phone is in hboot the computer will not pick it up but it can still send adb commands in fastboot
[HTC Sensation] Alltaire:
I went to htc and aquired my token.
[HTC Sensation] Alltaire:
This I understand. But it seems that no matter what I tried, supper or revolution etc, still no luck. So I am stuck with a clockworks mod and no radio and no s-off.
[HTC Sensation] evetsno1:
Did you untick fast boot?

You may be using the wrong method to soff. Try Juopuntbear, This is for bootloader version 1.27.*** and above. Read carefully and understand before you jump in to it!

When you make a post like this you need to give more information such as boot version. Make and model of your phone, etc.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] convolution:
I think there is something wrong with a connection or with my screen. I can see everything clearly, it's just that the whole thing has like a purple hue / green hue that streaks and changes, kind of like an aurora you see in the sky, when I nudge the top part of my phone (screen part). I took a screenshot and I examined it on my computer, and it shows a perfect picture with no purple. Therefore it has to be my screen.

Do you guys know what's wrong with my phone, and how I can fix it? I am very hand with soldering and such.

Looks like this (not my phone, but the artefacts are identical:
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Might be the ribbon cable between the screen and keyboard parts of the phone. Especially your description of the colors changing when you nudge it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] convolution:
where can i purchase one?

And does anyone have a link of a DZ teardown?

EDIT:http://tjworld.net/blog/htc-desire-z-tear-down

But I still don't know where to find the replacement cable.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nipqer:
I have the exact same issue with my phone.

Here is the cable on Amazon

I'm just about to buy one myself.

-Nipqer
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] convolution:
and as for the T5 Torq screw? Any old hardware store?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Yup. Or you can get a kit with all the required tools online at eBay, Amazon and other places for less than $10 (just did a search for "phone tools" at both those websites, and got plenty of hits). I personally haven't taken apart my Z. But having taken apart other electronics (like iPods), its handy to have the specific tools (such as the plastic tool in the teardown guide) and can result in less/no damage to the casing.
[HTC Rezound] Brandanokay:
Okay so on my rezound I wiped everything and it's not booting up now and I have cwm so it will not charge so I use a blackberry battery to get to hboot. Now so I can flash Amon ra how to I get the file onto the root of my sd card? Help confused
[HTC Rezound] dogredwing1:
just put on the sd card not in any folder or any thing
[HTC Rezound] OLDsJUNKIE:
Flash Amon Ra through Fastboot. Put the downloaded Amon file in the same folder as fastboot.exe that you used to unlock the phone. Plug it into your PC while in HBOOT. Go to a command prompt and change directory to your folder with fastboot.exe and the recovery file and type the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" without the quotes, and the recovery.img being the name of the recovery file you put in the folder.

Tablet PCs Acer's A100 and A500 tablets getting Ice Cream Sandwich on April 27th

"With April nearly over, it's high time Acer came clean on when exactly its promised Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade for the A100 and A500 would land. Today the company did just that, revealing that US owners of either tablet can opt-in for their frozen makeovers starting on the 27th. Bad news if you're rocking AT&T's variant of the latter though, as the listing on the company's support page for the A501 says "no update planned." Those not tied Ma Bell can expect Acer's skin -- including that ring launcher -- grafted onto Google's latest, much like the A200's ICS upgrade back in February. Already pumped? Go ahead and bookmark that source link. Do it, we won't judge."

The update to Android 4.0 is planned for late April. However, there is still no exact date for this purpose.

Well, lets hope Acer has solved the Tegra driver issues that have plagued other devices running ICS like the Asus Transformer. We shall soon see.

[Acer Iconia A500] UniSonBBS:
I am currently running the leaked version of the 4.0.3 when it first was available. I flashed it so I have no root, etc. Now that the update is coming out, will I be able to flash right over it, or do I need to root and downgrade back to 3.2.1 to be able to update to the official 4.0.3? I highly doubt I will get a OTA if Im already running the leaked 4.0.3 right? Please advise. I ask because I cant seem to find the official 3.2.1 rom and a working link for the drivers and such to be able to downgrade it.
[Acer Iconia A500] starfcker69:
Huh? Seems that the leaked ICS roms for the A500 had no such problems with tegra 2 unless I missed something.

[Acer Iconia A500] Nessuno1:
I don't know specifically about the UK, but I guess it's just going to be the same as for Europe.

For France the website "Les Numériques" said it's starting tomorrow until the 27th of april.

http://www.lesnumeriques.com/tablet...-jour-android-4-0-ics-en-approche-n24110.html

I don't know their source, but it looks that the update started yesterday for the A100 and when we look at the Acer America's planning there is a two-day delay between the A100 ICS release and the A500 ICS release, so it seems possible for it to roll out from tomorrow on.

[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Its very unknown what will happen. If you will even get a fota notice to update or not. then if you do get the notice will it install. will it fail due to unknown version. I WOULD SAY if you are pushed the update Proceed with caution. But if there is a boot loader unlock mech in the update as expected They may not do the data checking as in the past boot loaders..

SO The answer in short is NOBODY KNOWS Until its OUT.

Hope this lack of information is Helpful.
[Acer Iconia A500] UniSonBBS:
Sounds good to me. Not that the leak isn't any good, just would rather have the official if I don't plan on rooting anyways. I'll wait and see if I read about nightmares or sucess.

I remember my last update was from a link, not automatically pushed to my device. So as soon as an official update is available, I think no matter where you are, you eventually will get it. I don't mind to wait a month or so more, but a definite time table makes me feel settled that we will get that.
[Acer Iconia A500] UniSonBBS:
You guys know a lot more about this stuff then I do. Im only good at following instructions. Rooted many things and many custom roms, just not on the a500. Just the leak and that's nothing special as all I did was flash the stock rom. I'll wait to hear from the pros. :D

Surely their cannot be much difference between Americas/Europe to warrant such indifference to announce dates/releases

Just translated that page and it states

Bestseller and brave veteran of war shelves, the Acer Iconia Tab A500 (10.1-inch Tegra processor and 2) will receive the honors of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. His little sister by 7 inches, the Iconia Tab A100 is also concerned.

The update will be tomorrow April 19, in waves "over the air" until April 27. That is to say that the owners of these two tablets will indicate the availability of the update via a message on the tablet. Suffice it then to accept the update to download and come into the fabulous world of "ice cream sandwich."

So if acer uk follow suite of france the update should be in the next couple of days hopefully.

I didn't download it from its website (which is http://vache-android.com by the way), but using his tool for updates. I found this tool somewhere in the A100 or A500 forums, I can't remember exactly where.

The tool gives directly an update file but I don't know where it is host, so I don't have any address to give.

That's why I put the whole file as an attachment in my last message.
