[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
The first link you provided is the 1st generation one, may be the photo looks different, but it's the same one.

and thanks for the second link, i've searched everywhere on taobao, couldn't find it.

buying from taobao isn't that hard, just use this site, but it will come out expensive.

www.yoybuy.com

anyways i'm back from china and off all the shops i've been to like over 200+ shops, only a few stock the one I got hold off, and mine being the cheapest.

my trip was cut short, wasn't feeling too well, anyway some good news.

I may offer to buy these bumper for the second time and the last time only at the same time next months.

will keep you updated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Southern_mind:
They got some on Ebay for like five bucks shipped they look good and I saw someone got them and said they are great
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
Please post link.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FC1032:
Yes please do. 5dollars barely gets a decent case!

I'd be interested in one for second rounds. I'd take it that not all the colours are available?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
i've looked through the whole of ebay, around that price are gel/tpu bumpers, not aluminum. Aluminum goes for USD 27-40 price range.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira8473:
it says the minimum order is 20 but if you search around you'll see many more of the same case and some sellers will give you a quote for 5-10
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira8473:
found some on youbuy

http://www.yoybuy.com/en/show/14957738297/

even better price $12

http://www.yoybuy.com/en/show/15544039806/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
it's sold through taobao china and with all shipping and handling fee, it all adds up to about USD20- 30.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira8473:
I have two in my shopping cart and it comes to $24.29 with shipping

regardless of that $20-$30 for an aluminum case is pretty reasonable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
try going through the process after the shopping cart.

to canada

1 piece USD 19.98

2 piece USD 31.17
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FC1032:
Have you bought it? Would like to hear your experiences
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jo.sta:
Just wanted to write this post to thank kms108. The case arrived today and it looks fantastic!

Thanks for taking the time to buy and send these cases for us. Much appreciated.

Will also post photos comparing this aluminum bumper case to the older model tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
Glad you received it and thanks for letting me know.

Thats 6 days to australia.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
When's the next run to CN?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] r3k0:
Mines waiting for me at my local sorting office, came yesterday but nobody was in to sign for it.

Will give my 2 cents on it when i pick it up tom morn ;)

Thanks again for your time kms108 ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
Thanks for the headup, please let me know when you actually receive the item in your hand, I need to make sure that everyone receives them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FC1032:
So what colours were you able to find locally?

I'm assuming not all the colours were available. 6 days to Australia is quite good. :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
they didn't have all the colors in store, later I found out they had others in the store room.

I asked for the dark gray and he took 15 minutes to get it from me, all I can say is they are now starting to appear in taobao, but in shenzhen only a few shops sell them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jo.sta:
A few days after and here are my impressions of the revised aluminium bumper

Pros:

- Absolutely love the silver lining/rim around the front of this bumper and love how it contrasts with the black case.

- Noticeably smaller than the older version. Though it still makes your nexus thicker and wider

- Great protection. Since this bumper case, I've ripped off the screen protector. Unless I have extremely sandy pockets or just plain bad luck (ie drop my screen on a pointy rock) my nexus is pretty safe in this

- Value, considering I paid around $30usd for the previous bumper, i think this case for about $20-25usd is a much better choice

Cons:

- The cut outs for the power and volume rocker are extremely recessed. I have tiny fingers and i struggle to reach the buttons from the case.

- Similar to the previous comment, the charging port is also too recessed. My stock charging cable can't fit into the slot so I have to remove the phone from the case every night to charge.

- Loss of GPS. With the previous bumper, i had no issues with this despite many others reporting a lack of gps. I'm starting to think perhaps it's a colour issue? Lots of ppl with black aluminium bumper cases are complaining about loss of signal but this may just be an observation.

Overall, despite the cons, I'm still happily using this case. It's exceptional in quality and provides great protection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clj575:
The green one uses screws...how does the black one stay together?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jo.sta:
Sorry forgot to mention that.

The green/older one uses the screws where as this newer case uses a sliding mechanism.

The bottom part of the case has grooves on the side for the top part of the case to slide across and click together.

It's a little scary sliding the top part of the casing all across your screen but if you slide it slowly, your screen should be scratch free.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] r3k0:
Picked mine up from the sorting office this morning.

I also had the 1st version of ally bumper (slightly bigger version with 4 screw fitting)

So 1st impressions im preferring the size over V1, as it is a few mm smaller and lighter at 44.4g for V1 and 24.5g for V2.

Due to the slide front i feel its not as secure as V1 which felt very solid when packed out and screwed in, going to try and find a way to secure the sliding front more tho.

Im also going to steal the rubber switch sections from V1 and fit them in this bumper as the buttons are recessed a lot and im now used to the rubber buttons of V1 after using it for about 3 weeks.

The packaging states that it is CNC and has 4 screws for fitting, this is obviously packaging for a version more like V1 as it dosnt have the 4 screws and isnt CNC either, its cast ally from a mold.

Dont really use gps so cant comment on signal, everything else seems perfect as it did with V1.

Well heres more pictures for comparison to V1, im off to drill out my headphone jack now so i can use my posh Shure E5 headphones ;)

Thanks again to kms108 for his time and effort to supply us with these V2 bumpers ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
Thanks for letting me know that you have received the item, and I'm sure the slider won't come loose.

The package is right for this bumper, but the wording is not, you can see the picture on the box, it's the same as the v2.

I realize that both of you had problems with the buttons, I apologise about this, I realize that most of us asian's do have smaller fingers, so for me the buttons won't pose any problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] r3k0:
No need to apologise, you posted enough pictures and made this clear before we bought, for the price its a great bumper tbh.

Small issues like this don't bother me as im in the model making business so modifying things isn't a problem, i like to tinker ;)

5 mins with some needle files and both the openings in the bottom both work fine for me now ;)

My advice to jo.sta regarding the usb opening is buy a new charge lead off ebay for £1 and trim it down so it is narrower and then you dont have to remove it from the bumper every night ;)

Did the same for the power button, both work great for me now. would of used black or clear plasti-card if i had some at hand but white will have to do for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
my usb cable from my previous samsung phones and gnex works with the bumper.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Infrabasse:
My combo

Here's my combo

2x Metal bumper; I used the bare alu for the back and the anodised black for the front rim

1x Mugen Power 3800mAh battery and cover

1x SGP ultra clear screen protector

EDIT: My bad, posting in the wrong metal bumper case thread

---------- Post added at 08:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------

I've had cables that didn't fit, actually even mt seidio Innodock Jr wouldn't fit this metal bumper. Now everything works fine.

---> file down the molded plastic that holds the connector so it fits your case.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
you gave me some idea about the buttons, i've started to make some buttons out of aluminum, so far halfway through the power button, if all goes well i'll make more and send some over for all off you've.

It will take time, all hand made:p.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aturyan:
Interesting case... Though I feel as though this case still needs some more work and modifications.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kelvino9:
Not a fan of bulky phones or casings, but this combination is f*#&$%" awesome. Wouldn't even mind carrying that if I had the parts for it. Thanks for posting it here ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] r3k0:
;) I may have a go with some ally aswell, only prob i can think of is will it glue to a backing? the plasti-card glued very well being plastic.

good luck with them anyway ;)

Hey Guys,

I thought I share the results of my buttons. I finally managed to get some time in the workshop.

The result looks similar to the buttons that are already in this thread but I decided against sticky tape on my Nexus and instead went the longer route.

Each button has a little bit of Aluminium left on each side to stay inside the cover as long as the phone is in. I used some fine sanding paper to remove as much Aluminium as possible from the back but still keep the little "ring" around the button. As you can see I wasn't fully successful but it still stays inside. Overall I'm quite happy even though it was a pain to do it.

I guess its to do with the File permission.

can you boot into cwm recovery and mount /system , if you can, change the permission of files you modified to rw-rw-rw (to be on the safer side).

Always remember to take nandroid backup before playing with system files.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] georgios73:
Installed the ICS update via kies a few hours ago (I actually held out on stock GB for nearly 6 months!)

Everything seems ok apart from a few icons missing and extreme amount of lag over GB. First I thought it probably needs a restart but nothing changed. I then tried touchwiz and SPB shell and they didn't have any lag and all the icons were showing up.

So I am assuming Go Launcher EX is not compatible at the moment - real shame.

I had major lag issues with this after the ICS upgrade. I ended up going into Applications pressing Force Stop then Clear Data and finally uninstalling it. Once I had done that I re-downloaded the app from Go's own website. It's running just fine now.

It originally came from a backup created by Appsaver so I have no idea why it would lag like that. All I know is, I'm glad it's sorted.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
Best way is to use recovery but you need to root your phone 1st.

Look in the stickies on general or in dev sections for how to guides.

As a rule if you are on gb2.3.4 build 42 or 54 you can use the easy root zergrush.

IF ON 65 YOU WELL NOT GOT ROOT THIS WAY.

If on ics then use easy root for ics.
