What affordable (under £7) case, would you guys recommended? Don't want no bulky **** or ugly mofo...thanks
[Nexus 6  General] chrisjcks:
I bought a Spigen Ultra Hybrid Metal Slate one for just £2.99 off Amazon with free delivery.

It's a nice case. :)

Edit: oops, its £7.99 now!
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
Ordered mine but Gun metal. I always order a cheap case before I get the phone, just in case its not a phone I should leave naked.
[Nexus 6  General] Perchy35:
Just ordered the same! I normally don't protect my phones but I do use a sleeve, I am yet to find a nice sleeve for this phone!
[Nexus 6  General] meletios:
I prefer to use sleeve/pouch, gives me best of both worlds..

thinking of ordering this..

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Google-Nexu...qid=1416835027&sr=8-39&keywords=nexus+6+cover
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Just received my case.. OK now I see just how big this thing is... Still, I'm up for it!
[Nexus 6  General] Perchy35:
Yes I have seen these, I have just ordered one of those as well :D
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Not really much bigger than the wife's note 2 really

Not so much wider but is taller
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Yeah I'm used to the Nexus 5, which fits comfortably inside this case, so it's quite a step up in size. Looking forward to watching media on this thing
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
I'm mainly getting it for the same plus game play

So it might be a replacement for my tablet if I can get used to using it
[Nexus 6  General] mys3:
Anybody any idea on Amazon return policy? I was going to buy from them but can't find their terms for return if the phone is unwanted as opposed to faulty
[Nexus 6  General] fleonard:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_gt_reityoor?nodeId=1161016
[Nexus 6  General] mys3:
Would that apply to an opened, unwrapped phone though?
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Just says best condition possible in their returns policy. They'll sell it through Amazon warehouse. The stuff they sell on there has been opened by customers who have bought new but returned them for whatever reason so you'll be fine. Says 30 days return period
[Nexus 6  General] thedalmeny:
Vodafone rang me today - trying to sell me a phone.

Mentioned i already ordered 5 days ago, they checked their system and confirmed it has all been processed as of yesterday (I was one of first 500 to get free Moto 360 with the device).

They said it'll be with me via DPD within 1-3 days... I did mention this was far ahead of the 5th of December originally quoted - but assured me to expect an email from DPD shortly. Read into that what you want - i'm still preparing myself for a wait.
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
I'm guessing this was a contact deal with Vodafone?
[Nexus 6  General] thedalmeny:
Yeah;

Nexus 6 32GB (Midnight blue)

Moto 360

Unlimited Mins

Unlimited Text

4GB Data (4G)

6 Months Spotify or Netflix etc

£39.50 p/m + £19 upfront, i get a 20% Vodafone discount (Work corporate discount), so £31.50 p/m in reality.
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Not bad really with the moto 360 thrown in and decent amount of data too! I'm looking to go on sim only once my contact finishes in Feb. Least I'll be saving each month to an extent
[Nexus 6  General] thedalmeny:
Yeah, i've been contract free for quite a while and normally buy outright.. But at £756 over the 2 year term + the Moto 360 on top, made more sense going for the contract as i pay 15 p/m for an unlimited 30 day rolling which is £360 over 24 months anyway.
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
I've just read an article about screen burn on the nexus 6 amoled screen. The report says only after a few days of use the screen burn is visible! That's not good news at all. Questions what type of amoled screen Google have used! I'm really having second thoughts about the phone now.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
That same report says this

"We are yet to confirm this potential burn-in problem ourselves, and the issue doesn't seem to have been reported by any of the other major players in the tech industry"

Literally that site took one post from Erica Griffen and ran with it without even looking or probably owning the device themselves.. I. E. Click bait .

Not one other person has mentioned or seen screen burn in,
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Yeah I thought that was weird that only one site mentioned it. It's got the same amoled screen as the moto x 2014. Thanks for clarifying for me :) Figuring it is an isolated problem but something to watch for. The OnePlus One had a problem with some batches with the yellow tinge at the bottom of the screen but that was mostly resolved.
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
There is always one person on the internet posting about a defective screen regardless of the technology. "Maybe I'm sensitive to this" = I have no way of proving this to you and I know that.
[Nexus 6  General] akhan47:
Just paid off my year left on Nexus 5 contract with O2 and upgraded to Nexus 6. Did it all through CPW. I went for the 64GB version and was told numerous times that expected delivery is 1st December despite the website saying 15th for 64GB....
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Cool thanks for the update. The more we hear of orders confirming the 1st the more it seems to be the right date. Did they day anything about why the site says 15th?
[Nexus 6  General] akhan47:
Nope, he just said as far as he is aware delivery is expected on 1st December for both variants.
[Nexus 6  General] alitech:
I have a feeling that CW will let all of us down with that 1st December shipping date.
[Nexus 6  General] andy_mk3:
I'm still hopeful though. My first ever experience with CPW so I'm hoping they don't let me down!
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
I got my Samsung S4 through CPW last year, I pre ordered beforehand and it was delivered on the day of release so they were on time and I had no problems.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
All my dealings with cpw so far have been really good so can't see it being any different now
[Nexus 6  General] disk0360:
My first experience with CPW so let's hope it's a good one. Avoided them totally in the past due to bad press
[Nexus 6  General] pnnorth:
When I ordered my note 3 from CPW I actually got it the day before the official release date (in store collection).

I still have a feeling the 64gb orders will ship at a later date but I'm hoping they've been allowed some sort of exclusive on it. P4U often managed to broker deals with suppliers for the first couple weeks of a release.
[Nexus 6  General] Deeco7:
Thanks guys. I dislike cases now... Thinking of getting a neoprene pouch... Any recommendations?
[Nexus 6  General] Phantom Shadow:
That would be nice, I've not heard a thing from vodafone after the initial confirmation email, doubt anything would happen until w/c 1st december unless they get delivery very early. Though they did also try to sell me another phone when I contacted them to confirm it was just 32gb they were offering as at the time the specs page listed 32/64.
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
American pre orders are arriving this week. Under a week left before the supposed arrival of our nexus 6's that we've all ordered!

Just a note on the reparability of the nexus 6, the glass screen is fused to the digitiser so if you crack the glass it'll be costly as you'll have to get a whole new digitiser rather than just the glass screen. The ifixit breakdown illustrated this and also the inductive coil for wireless charging.

Anybody who wants the double tap to unlock or knock knock unlock like they have on the moto x check this article out about an app that does this with root access

[Nexus 6  General] kite86:
Even tho I'm not in England (I'm in Italy) I did preorder too the 18th. Since we don't have our thread I'm lurking here hoping that maybe we can have the same shipping day :D

Today my Spigen I ordered from Amazon arrived. Damn that thing is HUGE, not HUGE but REEEEALLY HUGE xD

Can't wait to get my phone :)
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
The spigen cases are really good. I've had various versions for the phone I've had and they've all been good and protected the phone.
[Nexus 6  General] Super Chimp:
I've ordered a Spigen case for it as well but still waiting for delivery.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Got my Spigen Neo Hybrid yesterday , initial impressions " holy cow its huge" .. 10 seconds later " Oh man i can't wait to watch videos on this "
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
To be honest I'm just going on the fact you guys have said CPW have given a date and you say they normally make the date. Cos as far as I'm aware no one has actually shipped the international version of this phone, so we can't go by what America is doing.

Also O2 have taken the Nexus 6 page back down.
[Nexus 6  General] Stephen:
I am just off the phone with CPW. As I ordered mine first thing as soon as it was released for pre-order, I am on the first batch to receive my phone. Plus he said that since I have decided to collect in store it should be available on Monday the 1st to collect. He said that deliveries would happen a day or so later!!!! Me a happy man :)
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
I missed that option when I was ordering. I too, like you, ordered as soon as it went live but think the excitement and hurry to get it done in case they sold out was probably the reason. I tried to change the delivery option but I got someone who really couldn't understand what I was saying (UK call centre and English accent) but eventually I got from her that the phones would be despatched to home or store at the same time. My thoughts are that since they are due to go live on Monday, they'll have to get the review models in store and stock etc so you might actually be in luck and get it a day early or on the day!
[Nexus 6  General] fleonard:
Same here, ordered mine first day around midday, delivered to my office.

So hopefully Next week it's the right one :)
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
Surely All pre orders would be fulfilled first, if units are going into the stores? Otherwise people would be cancelling just to go into the shop and take one home there and then lol.
[Nexus 6  General] Phantom Shadow:
It'll be demo units and pre-orders where people selected to collect from store being delivered to the stores.

Having demo units to try and sell more units will be more important to them then getting a few people a phone slightly earlier.
[Nexus 6  General] OhMrPorter:
I ordered on the 18th when it said delivery from the 1st Dec. When I queried CPW about the change in date to the 15th they told me there was some confusion and it would actually be the 15th

Ordered the 64GB white to be delivered to a CPW store

The response I got:
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
Well I am a Collect from Store, so if I do get my phone next week it would explain why I didn't get a back order email even tho I only ordered on Saturday. Maybe no one else from my town wants one lol
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Hmm, can't see Vodafone getting exclusivity over Carphone Warehouse for the release. I got told the 1st when I called as well. I hope it isn't delayed!
[Nexus 6  General] Stephen:
Hmm.. The guy on the phone definitely said as I was picking up from in store, I would be able to pick it up on the 1st. Are you getting it delivered to your house, or in store pickup? If delivery that could explain why the expected date of the 15th.
[Nexus 6  General] OhMrPorter:
I'm picking up from a store. I'm hoping CPW don't know their arse from their elbow and it's still the 1st.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
No offence but i think you could ring again and get a competently different answer, i doubt store delivery or home delivery will be any difference if in fact its actually released on the 1st that is.
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
Depends on how their Supply chain works.

If delivery has its own cost and supplier, and Store is just Set amounts to Start each place off, each would have a point where they were 'Sold out' which wouldn't be the same for each, plus each type has its own amount.

You may order after the last 64 CW and there is nothing for them to deliver to anyone else from that first batch, all postal ones were sold, but the store delivery to your local one was sent 2 units and you ordered after you would get that phone, it exists and it is going there.

It will never matter any other time but at launch it does.

The phones could be coming out of 2 different pots.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Well in any case the conversation I had with them was it didn't matter, 1st for both... Now the 1st is a Monday though
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
It's OK if it's a Monday, courier companies work around the clock so if it's picked up Sunday it'll be there Monday. Amazon deliver on Sundays (just an example of a company delivering at all times) so I'm sure it'll be OK
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
We can hope right [emoji2]
[Nexus 6  General] akhan47:
I just called Carphone Warehouse again and asked about release date. I specifically said it says expected on 15th for 64gb and was again told that for upgrades and new contracts the phone will be sent out on 1st. The rep said he can only assume the 15th is for the sim-free version of 64gb.

I called 08000496248/03300406887
[Nexus 6  General] Phantom Shadow:
Well that bit is almost certainly true, we'll just have to wait and see what happens on 1st as all these conflicting statements by CPW don't really tell us much.
[Nexus 6  General] l.m.prowse:
Which model did you get? I just quoted that response to the guy on carphone warehouse chat, he got quite s*itty with me saying that "IF YOU ORDERED WHEN IT SAID 1ST YOU'LL GET IT ON THE 1ST".. however I've ordered the 64gb Blue when the pre-order became available... I'm still skeptical about Monday... as much as i'd love it to be, i don't wanna get my hopes up ahaha
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
I'm guessing Carphone warehouse are getting a little peeved with the constant enquiring. I think we should just leave it to whatever happens. If we get an email before Monday about delivery then that settles it, if not then we know what the outcome is.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Maybe we should all phone them a dozen times each day

IT WOULD GIVE THEM TIME TO GET THEIR STORY STRAIGHT :D:D:D
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
I remember the good old days, walking into Carphone Warehouse and them selling me a Ericsson T39 when it wasn't even out, weren't even on any displays they just physically had them in the shop and the guy was new. Told my mates to get down there before the other staff got back from lunch lol
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Haha yeah, that would be something lol
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Yeah they were the good old days when they were just interested in the commission

Now we just have google ****ing it all up lol

---------- Post added at 07:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 PM ----------

And with a bit of luck an early delivery date lol
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
I plan on going in on the 1st about 3 times to check on delivery as I work nearby. They are surly in person too, end up palming you off to some tech guy geek whatever they are called person to check the delivery room. You tell me "we don't know what is being delivered" and I'll annoy you all week!
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
That's not a bad idea mate I'm just gonna bug the tits off them by phone..... after all it's a freephone number :D
[Nexus 6  General] Silentsoul:
I want to order there too, but they refuse to ship to germany.. i guess im gonna pay a damn lot of more money from a greedy dude that will sell his phone for a higher bit. I just want it as fast as possible, shouldnt be that impatient with my 23 years..
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Hang on mate let me order another one HOW MUCH?? LOL
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
I was also going to offer. There's no use you paying over the odds. I'm sure a trustworthy person would order and send it to you when it's received
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
You seen how much those greedy bastards are selling them on eBay £764 plus delivery from America

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=281482386847&alt=web
[Nexus 6  General] androidcan:
Iwhen i called cpw yesterday they told me the 1st also - i also specifically asked whether they receive them into their shops on that date - my thinking is if they do then itll be better to go for the collect from shop option, rather than have to wait another day or so for delivery. Plus i personally risk missing the delivery.

She recommended i get it home delivered as they'll be shipped from the first batch straight away. I'm not going to get my hopes built too much, if i get it by the end of the week I'll be happy! Hopefully I'm pleasantly surprised though!
[Nexus 6  General] Lerinsol:
You should really buy it in Germany since it is also one of the countries the phone is released in. Buying from overseas will only complicate things for you if you need to make use of the warranty.
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
Came home to find my Nexus 6 case left outside my door, parcel couldn't go through the letterbox! Just the Nano SIM to come and then I'm ready.
[Nexus 6  General] letom:
Could we hold off from mentioning in the thread (again and again) that you've called cpw and that they've told you the same information that the previous 20 cpw related posts said. Unless it's a 'I got tracking info' off course :o

Then again I didn't order from cpw so if you cpw buyers are finding it useful do carry on, just feels like I've read the same post 100 times :p
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Where did you order your phone from?
[Nexus 6  General] andy_mk3:
Let them carry on if they're confirming delivery for the 1st though :D
[Nexus 6  General] letom:
Amazon because I didn't want the phone before 9th December. Though might try to grab one in store before Amazon delivery date of 15th.
[Nexus 6  General] j0nnymoe:
Still waiting for my case and screen protector to arrive... If its not here by tomorrow, I'm going to order another but get the spigen case instead
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
Yeah I've got a Spigen one, put my current phone in it to practice lol.
[Nexus 6  General] disk0360:
Got my spigen neo hybrid, nano sim and screen protectors - just the important bit now to arrive 64 gb white, roll the dice with CPW availability lol
[Nexus 6  General] riz157:
Now for something a bit different.

Wow amazing isn't it the hysteria over a phone almost as our very own life depended on it. Our lives on hold for a phone? A phone can secure pleasure, popularity, security, happiness or fulfilment? We are buying more; more phones - regardless of how much we already have.

A walk in the park, social interaction, spending time with friends and family or volunteering – which cost nothing - will do more for our well-being than any amount of ‘phone therapy'. It pushes us away from activities that give pleasure and meaning to our lives towards an arena that cannot – what Sut Jhally calls ‘the dead world of things’.

Don't you feel Our imagination and creativity is being stifled by all this?

I might get slated for this but what the heck, life is too short but journey is long.
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Yeah but... this one has a bigger screen.:cool:

I get your point, but i wouldn't say my life is on hold , i haven't stopped going outside or stopped seeing my friends.

Nothing wrong with getting excited over a new toy .. after all , isn't that what the most innocent of children do at Christmas?
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Yeah you both a point

BUT I STILL CAN'T WAIT FOR FATHER NEXUS TO BRING ME MY NEW TOY :D
[Nexus 6  General] mikeparkie:
Damn straight, as a Geek I love new toys, no different to someone getting excited about a new book from their favourite author etc etc.
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
This whole experience has given us 'friends' in text over the internet, just because of a Delivery date. Nexus is love.
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Very true. Geeks rule!

---------- Post added at 09:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------

I don't know if this is a coincidence but Motorola are going to have a cyber Monday deal. The deal is on the moto x 2014 made through moto maker with £100 of the total price. It's on 1st December!
[Nexus 6  General] qwerp_:
Saw CPW's advert on Merto today about Nexus6!!!..

so far it seems they are the only one with physical advert.
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
What did it say? Anything about release date in stores or just pre order?
[Nexus 6  General] AntonyStark:
My new conspiracy is that when you go to the stock Checker on CPW website it says two different options, Stock not Found, and out of stock. Does this mean some stores have taken their delivery? We need an insider lol
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Pocket link have said in their article that CPW confirmed to then the date of 1st December release. The article is dated 18th November.

http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/131...arehouse-1-december-uk-availability-confirmed
[Nexus 6  General] Daveoc64:
Given that they list their source as the Carphone Warehouse website, I don't think they know any more than we do.
[Nexus 6  General] l.m.prowse:
Just called CPW and they checked my order, I was told that on the 21st they received an update from Motorola saying that the 64gb version would delayed until the 15th. However as far as he could tell, the 32gb model will still be released on the 1st :)
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Hmm so there's either a wait for less than a week or over two weeks. Wish they'd update those affected!
[Nexus 6  General] l.m.prowse:
Yeah, a text or email saying that there's been a delay would be nice -.-
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
They're really dumb at CPW web sales team. They can't even confirm if there's been a delay, or should I say this girl I'm speaking to has no idea. Spoke to the manager and he didn't have any idea either. I'm being put through to someone else in another department now.
[Nexus 6  General] chubby65:
Would've be nice but I pity the poor sod that tells me there's a 2 week delay on my phone

Especially not letting me know and the fact that they've known about it since the 21st
[Nexus 6  General] richsaun:
I've just spoken to CPW and they have confirmed my order (64gb Nexus 6 - Placed 18th Nov) would be delivered on the 1st Dec.
[Nexus 6  General] l.m.prowse:
I placed mine minutes after the preorder went live :/ I'm gunna wait until the 1st, if nothing happens, I may pop into my local store and just buy the 32gb if they have it and cancel my preorder.
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
I'm on the phone now and the advisor confirmed the communication from Motorola which is dated 21st Nov says that there is a delay. The 32gb is coming on the 5th and 64gb on 15th. I'm in the process of making a complaint regarding the lack of communication to all customers who have pre ordered. I would suggest you all start kicking up a guys if you want. I'm asking for some compensation for the lack of communication to me by CPW if they've been day on this information from Motorola since the 21st November!

---------- Post added at 04:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 PM ----------

Update: Getting a manager to call me back this evening before 6pm and also complaints team calling back tomorrow. It's pretty bad that they've sat on this information for so long. It's the lack of communication and conflicting information that we're getting which bothers me and the fact they'll have had our money for a while longer than necessary. I'm not that desperate for the phone but to no updates through their site or whatever is bad service!
[Nexus 6  General] mavronn:
They've happily taken money from my account but I've had no communication from CPW to indicate a delay!
[Nexus 6  General] uktechguru:
Exactly which is why I think we should make a fuss. I've already warned them about a possible flood of calls!
[Nexus 6  General] italia0101:
Can we even kick up a fuss , pretty sure it said " expected 1st dec" which gives them some wiggle room..
