Have you guys started doing the sprint nexus doors yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
That is some sweet etching there. If I ever get a white housing unit I would definitely consider a gold etching done.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phaze one:
No. They're unavailable as of yet. If you have a design in mind we can go ahead and do the work to get it ready so when the doors become available we can etch them immediately. If this is something you'd choose to do, feel free to email us at customdesigns@gruverconcepts.com and we can get started.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drewwegand:
hey i got my order in for the limited edition VZW extended cover, I wish you guys could do the bronze color on our titanium back or even a white. and would you shoot me an email with a couple of Volcom designs?

drewwegand@gmail.com

oh and could you etch a housing as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phaze one:
Drew,

We've done many samples to get the bronze to come out on the regular titanium grey battery doors but the quality isn't something I'm willing to give to my customers. It doesn't meet my standards. I would love to but it just isn't GRÜVER concepts quality. We do etch the white battery doors with the bronze color you're mentioning. Unfortunately for the Verizon/Sprint owners but luckily for the GSM owners the white backs only fit the i9250 GSM Gnex's. Also we've considered etching the housing as well, and keep in mind the etching will only go to as far as the seam that runs down the side of the housing itself. Just above the power button and volume rockers. For a custom design battery door and etched housing it will be in the range of 100$. If you're interested then let us know. I guarantee you'll be the only person on the planet with one. Also, you'll be receiving an email shortly. Cheers and I hope I've answered all your questions.

Thanks for the response!

Where can I place an order to get the Android circuit board design in black on a white door?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phaze one:
Email us at customdesigns@cruverconcepts.com and we can get you started. That door is 30$ with free shipping in the US. We usually charge 25$ but the white doors cost more so we have to up the price 5$.

Hey phaze, I'm here to bug ya again, I imagine no sprint doors yet, (correct?) And also how is everything with the Google wallet payment? I'd be happy to pay for my door now and once the sprint doors come in ship it?! :-D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Do you have any white Verizon extended battery doors? I have a white GSM nexus and would like one of these done, but you can only get white Verizon extended doors on eBay as there are no GSM ones. I was thinking of either painting the back cover I get white or trying to get the Verizon one to fit as there was someone in another thread that told me he made it work. Thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phaze one:
Sorry bdubs, bad news on both fronts. No Sprint doors yet and Google Wallet won't link with online sales. It's basically just a way to pay for products at the register. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. We don't want to accept your payment until we guarantee we have the product. I do appreciate your excitement though. :) You still want the Multi-Tilt Droid Outline design or did you have another design in mind? We can begin work on the design and have it ready so when we get the doors it will be ready to be etched.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gene_Bailey:
Phaze One,

I had a question for you.. I was perusing your Site and I LOVE the work you guys do. Truly. I'm finally (FINALLY) ordering my GNex this Thursday and it's a white one. I'm going to be ordering one of these backs next Thursday (pay days are Thursdays lol), and while I like the idea of white phone with black battery cover (seems unique to me) I wanted to know about the possibility of getting a white cover laser etched?

*edit*

Apologies I just read through this entire thread and you do have white. I am ridiculously excited to get one of these covers. The white titanium backing and gold etching makes me think of some amazing ideas I would love to see.. :D

*second edit*

I just had to a thought.. Would it be possible to use the white cover to make a gold and black etching? Like to employ both techniques at the same time? Or one over the other?

*third edit*

I emailed you all with a hand drawn (and terrible) rendition of what I've got in my head. Eagerly awaiting your reply!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phaze one:
Thanks for the props Gene, really appreciate it! I got your email and you'll be hearing from me soon. As far as etching the black and bronze together, the laser we use reacts differently to the white material. In other words we can only etch it in bronze. It's just how the material reacts to the laser.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gene_Bailey:
Ahh I gotcha! Then I'm gonna hafta make some changes to my notes as to the color scheme. Lol I'll rework it a bit and send another rendition! Thanks for the response!

*edit* okay so this is what's going through my head. It's just a drawing and as labeled at the top poorly done and not to scale.

It's gonna be on a white battery cover so it's bronze etching. A starry sky from the bottom of the camera hole upwards and the moon in the top corner. A UFO with Andy in it waving and Google etched in ROBOTO font on its hull. And a beam with CID, the Apple eating Andy and Skateboarding Andy descending in it with the wording The Invasion Has Begun also in ROBOTO font.

The cockpit would be bronze, and Andy in it would be white, except for his eyes which would be bronze. The section between the cockpit and the Google section would have some sort of design (undecided, input?) and the Google section would be bronze with the word google in ROBOTO font wrapping around the hull. The Beam would be bronze with circuitry in white (not sure if possible? If not, then the other way around I suppose) with the various mascots descending from the ship (either in white with bronze eyes and core in CID's case or in bronze with white eyes and core if bronze beam and white circuitry aren't possible.

If someone wants to refine my drawing I would be very appreciative because I can't draw worth a crap. But I love this idea for a back plate. Here's the drawing.. Don't laugh too hard.

Hey Gents,

We have now heard of two people who sent us an email without a response back; which to us is obviously of concern! I have been talking to our email/web host this morning about the issue. They have been experiencing some issues and over the past several weeks began upgrading their servers that our information is hosted on to prevent further issues. This has created some momentary outages.

The issue should be resolved now but if you do send us an email and have not heard back within one day please resend or give one of us a PM. Again this should not be occurring moving forward but just in case.

Thanks for your patience and your support!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] upsidedowner:
Just out of curiosity, what would happen if you lasered most of the back to create a negative space?

A better question might be, what does the backing look like when lasered a lot. From OP's post, it seems to look pretty nice with the negative text in the middle of the android logo.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phaze one:
The lasers etch the surface black. Why do you ask? Are you considering etching a large portion of the surface and leaving your design unetched?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] upsidedowner:
Yeah, i was admiring the circuit board design, but it would be nice to have the verizon logo gone. So I was wondering what would happen if you did a negative print. I can tell that its black, but what I was wondering about more was the texture when that much is lasered. Is it smooth or uneven? Because you are burning away the plastic, my initial thought was that it would be rough and scratchy, but since a laser is so focused, and since it is done with machines... Well, I'm really just curious about what that would feel like. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phaze one:
It's smoother but you can still feel a texture to it. You can tell the surface has been burned but it's not a rough texture by any means. As far etching the Verizon out we can place an image over the logo. Please email us at customdesigns@gruverconcepts.com and we can talk further about your idea.

What's different about it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phaze one:
All 3 versions of the Galaxy Nexus have different housings so none of the battery doors fit other models. The closest you can get if you really wanted to, is the Verizon and Sprint models have the closest clip configuration, where you can remove by sanding or whichever method you choose, one or two of the clips on the right side of the battery door. There's threads on the net where people have done this to get extended battery doors for the Sprint model.

Here's one -http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp...-verizon-extended-battery-door-sprint-gn.html thats with a quick search. There was also one on xda somewhere.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phaze one:
We can etch cases, yes. But keep in mind any kind of case that has a rubberized coating doesn't produce the kind of quality etching that we prefer to provide to our customers. It has to be a hard outer shell case. The rubberized coatings do not react well to the laser and cause low quality images that I would never have for myself, no less my customers.
