I finally recieved my money back from Indiegogo and time to spend it here :D

Say, I heared that people who tried getting one of the doors via Indiegogo get a coupon. Is that sill going on? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phaze one:
It's good to hear everyone is being reimbursed. Yes, we're still honoring the deal we made with the people who got scammed. Just email us at customdesigns@gruverconcepts.com letting us know with your xda name. We were just doing the deal on custom work but if there's something you see in our store at www.gruverdesigns.com you'd like, we'll apply the discount. Please email us though. Thanks!

Is this the same company that I heard is helping out those of us who got SCREWED OVER by Omar from IndieGoGo? Because if so then I am interested in getting an Extended GSM back, and possibly a Standard GSM back....

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zer0_Cool:
Wow, didn't realize that 0mie was scamming people. I thought it was kind of odd when he PM'd me when I first started making my template asking for it, saying his was almost done and he wanted to compare them...I told him to just wait until I finished since I was making a thread so that EVERYONE could use it.

March 1

I got the icons from the android design developers blog, so I'm fairly certain they've been there as long as ICS has existed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] utcu:
He took my $65 contribution for a battery cover and spare battery, as well as many others' contributions and disappeared. The last I heard from him was over a month ago. He sent out an email saying some of the covers were done and that he was working on others and if anyone needed to get a hold of him to contact him through his site. (andetch.com)

As of a week or so ago, the site is no longer active, indiegogo and paypal have pretty much told all of us we're SOL, and people who were told their doors "were shipped" never received them. Both of the sites he operates from have been taken down and no one can contact him on his Google+ page either. I would never talk negatively on someone without good reason and I'm not sure if maybe he had something come up and couldn't follow through with the project but any type of response or refund would be nice. Here's the original project page with comments from many other unhappy contributors. http://www.indiegogo.com/Galaxy-Nexus-Laser-Etched-Doors?c=comments

It's very awesome how Gruverdesigns is helping all of us out. Dealing with them has been a great pleasure thus far. They actually respond to messages. ;)

can something like this be done on the back?

I loved those zune engraving they did looked so good
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
I had a feeling that his prices were to high to get some of those done, which is why I didnt give any money to the cause, but if he quality was any good then maybe I would have ended up buying one.

Anywho sucks that he just disappeared like that. Sorry to hear about it.

BrianDigital - If a better image can be found of the zune etching, which is pretty awesome btw, it's definitely a possibility we can etch that for you as a custom design.

HCDroid - I've done a design of our own which was influenced by the docomo limited edition. I'll post pics when we engrave the image. They'll also be on sale at our site.

We're also doing a version of the google limited edition backing as well which will also be on sale at our site. It's a play on google's version.

I'm glad you guys are enjoying the thread. Gruver Concepts has been a great business to work with. I plan on getting another design done in the near future.

@Gruver i think it would be a great help to us all if we had a photoshop template PSD to play around with, it would make designing covers much easier on all of us, I think. In my opinion that is.

I guess this is the thread where we show off the battery doors when we get them. Here's mine. A couple other things about it: It feels completely smooth, in fact smoother than the rest of the back. My fingernail can find an edge, but other than that, it's really smooth. It seems to switch from light to dark depending on the lighting. The design is a nickname I picked up in my Japanese classes, for being a big guy who likes dark beer.

I also included as much of a close-up as my camera would allow, so you can see more of the detail of how it's etched.
