[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nmyshkin:
Well.....first, you're in the wrong forum. The Nook ST forum is here.

Second, there is a version of the Kindle app available in the correct forum that has been customized for e-ink display (better contrast, etc.). That can be found here.

There's been some chatter in the forum recently about the store not working in the app--but I think that's probably true for even the non-customized version. Eventually vendors just stop supporting display requirements or capabilities of older Android versions. The reader certainly works fine and some people have reported being able to access their remote content.

Anyway, that's the place to go for more questions regarding the NST (lucky you, I have both so I saw this post!)

Oops! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Has anyone found a RED CM12 Theme engine them they really like and is pretty complete??

Been trying to hunt one down that I really like but am trying to avoid buying a bunch of them to try them out. I have no problem purchasing a theme but would prefer to get some feedback regarding the UI. Icons don't matter much, what I really want is the UI changed.

If anyone knows of any, I'd appreciate the feedback.

Thanks!

Check out westcrip "2nd" red theme. It's the rez remix included theme it's free I believe.

Try Ferocity 106 by the master Nicholaschum: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=32390. I have been using it for weeks and I find it to be the most complete.

Both are pretty sweet!

Thanks for the input!

Can any one post the complete teardown and spec of new chromecast.

I was wondering what if the new HDMI CABLE LIKE FLAT BROKE OVER TIME WHEN PULLING IN AND OUT OF TV.
[Google Chromecast 2015] lagittaja:
Haven't run into any teardowns yet. First batches shipped this week, so I guess we'll see a teardown from someone next week, hopefully.

Oh yeah, I don't care much for the new flat flex cable either.

Of course when you're plugging it in or disconnecting it, hold it from it's connector instead of the cable. Duh. :D

I'll make a guess that if it does break and you're out of warranty, replacing it will be difficult and it's a whole another question if there will even be replacement cables available from anywhere.. Worst case scenario it's soldered straight to PCB..

But I think, whatever the case, if you're out of warranty then tough luck. At least it's relatively cheap.

When I get mine I'll use velcro to secure it behind my TV. Solves the dangling freely issue and I'll also use a separate (short) HDMI extension so I can keep it's own cable straight.
[Google Chromecast 2015] Crossvxm:
Next week? I already got mine at Best Buy. I was going to get the 1st gen since they were on sale, but came across the 2nd gen so I went with it. The cable seems pretty strong, and it magnetically clips on to the little Chromecast itself.
[Google Chromecast 2015] ninepoint:
iFixit posted a teardown: https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Chromecast+2015+Teardown/50189
[Google Chromecast 2015] lagittaja:
Oh, wow. Guys, just take a look at that cable/connector solution!

Heavy solder on the connector and the connector bracket well bolted-down. As well as stress relief on the cable exterior which is held by the plastic body of the CC.

That's just awesome. Lovely design. Hats off to the guys who designed that.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Jaxidian:
Just found these cases on Amazon. I've always been a big fan of these. I've never had the heavy duty holster case before but I've had several of the Unicorn Beetle cases and have loved them. It seems they always have a tight/snug fit that protects the phone nicely with easy-to-use buttons, although I'll hold judgment until I get my case and phone in.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Just so you know there is already a case thread, & I did post about this one and a holster thread a couple days ago. Looking forward to it for sure.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] fatboypup:
Looks nice hope it gets an AF cutout
[Nexus 6P Accessories] 1SiK1500:
I have had great luck with Supcases on other phones and tablets. Love the fitment and the rubber last forever.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Wohee:
Looks like the pictures for both cases on Amazon have been updated. They look really nice and don't interfere with the auto focus sensor. Unicorn Beetle Slim and Pro

Edit: I believe they also added new colors :D
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Lookatthemonkeys:
I like both of them, but more leaning to the slim model. I like the bigger one, but I am always afraid the screen protector will affect screen usage. Anyone have any experience with how the built in screen protectors feel?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Jaxidian:
You can usually remove them pretty easily.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Lookatthemonkeys:
Good point. If I really wanted to I could peel off the included one and go with a tempered glass protector.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Aridon:
Looks neat but man that must add some bulk to an already big device
[Nexus 6P Accessories] hrtrulz:
Anyone know anywhere to buy these apart from on Amazon as they wont ship to Australia?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] fAndroid513:
I'm actually waiting for a tank case, since I don't care about added bulk. I find it more reassuring. Problem is, the tank case makers don't seem to have committed to making cases for the 6P. Griffin, Ballistic, Trident, and OtterBox are out. Seidio is making one, but I'm not sure which one. I'm hoping for the CONVERT case. Other than that, options seem VERY limited. : /
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Jaxidian:
The larger Supcase is the best I've seen so far if that's your goal. I'm sure we'll have more options in a month it two.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] fAndroid513:
Thanks, I certainly hope so. I'm holding off on getting the phone as of yet, because I want to see some reviews first. Also, I'm looking to batch 2, to avoid any possible issues with quality control. I wonder when those will start rolling out? January, perhaps?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Jaxidian:
I can't imagine them changing ANYTHING until after the holidays. So probably January or later.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Yeah, the unicorn beetle cases are absolutely insanely tough. I've thrown my g3 across the room many times and across the asphalt and concrete plant in the case doesn't even have any scratches. Very hard to get off but I don't know that I'll ever use another case again.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Smallsmx3:
So the Unicorn case has a screen protector built in to the case? Also... Are the power button and volume rocker covered or naked
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Yes, although the built in screen protector is pretty nasty. Easy to remove by pushing it out of the frame and scraping off the adhesive. I have one on my g3 and the buttons are open, but that's probably because the way the g3 sits. Looking at the version for the Nexus it looks like they are completely covered.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] lensgrabber:
This is what I did for the iPhone version. I couldn't stand the built-in protector for more than a day before I ordered glass.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] enyce9:
I preordered this case about a month ago and absolutely need this case. After using one on my Motorola nexus 6, and doing construction work for a living its my go to case. I don't know how much longer I can wait for this to ship.... Seems like the date keeps getting pushed back on Amazon.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] tkoreaper:
Only the pro has the built-in plastic protector. Buttons are covered, but still just as effective/responsive. IMO from personal experience, the pro version is complete overkill because the standard cause does such a great job with almost no perceived bulk. Pro only wins out over the standard version if you expect to drop your phone from an extreme height like 15 feet or so. If you, like many, like UAG cases, you'll love this one.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Very well, and no.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Chillz88:
Anyone use nilkin h+ pro with the supcase beetle with the frost back?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] berj79:
hi guys,

thinking of getting this case the pro version, that one comes with the screen protector, anyone here uses the screen protector that comes with the unicorn beetle pro case? if yes hows the clarity? as good as a temper glass?

Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] asianrage:
FWIW, I pried the screen off and used a glass screen protector instead. I didn't like the plastic feel and it wasn't flushed.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Frosting:
I bought the pro version and hated the screen protector. It was just a cheap piece of plastic and didnt sit perfectly on the screen. There would be these weird rainbow colored effects from only parts of the plastic making contact with the screen. The plastic also got scratched very easily. I ended up just ripping off the piece of plastic and using a tempered glass screen protector for awhile. I have a magnetic phone mount for my car and the pro case was just too thick to keep my phone, with a thin metal plate under the case, attached. I decided to switch to the regular unicorn beetle slim and it works perfectly with my magnetic mount. While the pro is indeed thicker and offers a bit more protection, the slim feels much better to hold, and the amount of protection it offers is good enough for an average person's needs.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] berj79:
thanks for the replies guys, guess will not go for this case as it has a useless screen protector ;)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Planters76:
One more thing, the buttons are very hard, making it difficult at times to take a screen shot
[Nexus 6P Accessories] abs406:
I bought the supcase unicorn beetle pro and have installed it today on my phone. Thing is, I have a intelliglasspro installed on my 6p and thought I would try putting the phone into the case with the plastic screen protector from the case still installed. Installing the phone into the plastic screen protector part of the case is fine, no problem, goes on with my intelliglasspro without any issues. Putting that into the back part of the case was a bit tight but I figured that was to be expected. Put the phone in and closed off the corners and tightened it down. Phone is working fine and fits into the case perfectly with the additional plastic protector intact. One side of the case is not as flush as the side with buttons but it's minor and the finger print sensor seems slightly off point. It's negligible but to someone who's installed it, it's still there. My question is, has anyone else tried this with their tempered glass protectors installed and then put the phone into the case without taking off the plastic protector? Or would it simply be better to remove the plastic protector and roll with the tempered glass? Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. I have included some pics to show the slight differences.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] SAL8116:
I ended up removing the plastic protector.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] abs406:
I'm gonna give it a few days but am leaning toward removing the plastic protector. To be fair, I thought removing the phone from this case would be a pain in the ass, but it actually came off without any real hassle.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] :
Anyone else hate the Unicorn? I just got one yesterday and it's slippery and makes the 6P feel like a boat...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
While I don't have one for my Nexus 6P, I have one for both my S7 Edge and HTC10. The case is big to protect your phone, so it should go without saying that it will make the Nexus bigger. I don't find the case to be slippery st all for my other phones, although the Nexus one might be slightly different. I might get one just to see how it holds up, but in general I'm not a fan of huge cases.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] T4rd:
Nope, loving mine, as I did on my previous M8 as well. I'm a big fan of these Beetle cases after one saving my M8 from falling off of a roller coaster (forgot it was in my cargo pocket and fell out) into gravel, another carnival ride (small Ferris wheel type ride that whips you around), and multiple drops onto concrete. My 6P has taken a few drops as well with this case and it's still perfect.

I have pretty small hands for a guy though and think the 6P is easier to handle than without it now due to the bolstered corners to grip onto, esp. while holding it in landscape. I'm convinced that there's no better protection for a phone for the size of these Beetle cases. The common OtterBoxes I see seem like they might offer little to no more protection for 95% of drop scenarios, while being 2-3 times bulkier and more expensive than this too.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Well, woke up this morning to an email from Amazon, my Supcase order has been cancelled due to "technical problems".

I had one of the unicorn beetle cases with the holster and the other bumper case ordered for about a month now. I even had ordered the green one while it was still up on the web page.

As you can imagine I'm pretty pissed. This was the holster that I wanted the most. Even worse is I emailed them about a week and a half ago and ask them if it was going to show up before my phone because the green one was no longer on Amazon. Here's their reply to that.

If you go look now most of their cases are showing as showing up November 30th and being delivered sometime in December.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
Mine still says it will ship by 11/5 for the reular frost/blsck
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
See I had that one ordered too, I wonder why they canceled both of them? I'm going to have to contact them today.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dwswager:
Pretty sure only the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro (Heavy Duty) are the ones with a front piece. The others do not have the front on them. The screen protector is plastic and similar to something like that in the Otterbox Defender cases.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mentalcase87:
I don't want to buy more then one case but with my phone arriving any day it's tough to wait it out. I have the case for the note 4 and have loved it. I have to order something today and am now unsure what to do.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dwswager:
If you were happy with the Supcase on the Note 4, it will be fine for the 6P. You just spent over $500 for the phone, most of these cases are only $8-$15! Just make sure you get the same model as you had on the Note 4.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] SAL8116:
I got an email from Amazon stating that if they didn't ship by 11-8 that Amazon would cancel my order. I wrote to both the seller and he said they were coming in on the 11/12 and would ship right away. I think contacted Amazon this morning and they assured me my order would not be canceled.

So I'm okay with waiting a little bit longer. Hopefully Amazon doesn't screw this up on their end.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mentalcase87:
My issue is when I receive it not if I will like it. I don't want to leave my phone naked but I also don't want to spend 10-20 on a good case to just do it again to get that case a some days later when it comes out and then have wasted money.

Does anyone know at the moment which is regarded as the best case for protection?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
Well if its available with prime on that day I'll cancel my initial and order it that way because I would like it faster. Only time will tell now
[Nexus 6P Accessories] PaisanNYC:
My Supcase was supposed to be delivered by 10/4 (tomorrow) and obviously still not shipped yet. :(
[Nexus 6P Accessories] enyce9:
I'm in the same boat as you Nov 4th delivery with my order for the pro case with screen protector, ordered first week in October. I emailed the seller last night asking of they would be shipping on the 4th and they avoided the question in the reply email......
[Nexus 6P Accessories] PaisanNYC:
If we start telling the seller that we will be leaving negative seller feedback, they will respond. Amazon takes seller feedback real serious.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] enyce9:
Just got this email from amazon this morning.... I don't see this case shipping by the 10th....

With the type of work I do I need this case to ship.

The following order(s) placed on 10/4/2015 with BrilloTech, will be canceled if the order is not ship-confirmed by 11/10/2015.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RojoNinja:
Huh. I got a shipping confirmation about an hour ago with a tracking number. And through amazon tracking it says "Package has left seller facility and is in transit to carrier" supcase unicorn beetle frost/black.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Interesting...

My Hybrid one shipped today, after being re-ordered from my cancelled order yesterday.

Shipping via DHL, arriving 12 to 27 November.

Ouch.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] enyce9:
No activity with my order from amazon unicorn beetle pro with screen protector, black
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Lookatthemonkeys:
My hybrid ordered 10/12 said it shipped yesterday. Weird thing it says it was shipped by DHL with a tracking number, but the tracking doesnt seem to be working (yet?). Also, it says it was expected delivery the same day, which it wasn't. I am not that upset. It kinda stinks being super paranoid with my phone (I work outside all day) until I get my case, but if it is a good case with no cut out mistakes, etc, it will we worth it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
I guess I should...

SUPCASE UPDATE 4 - Emailed them again, as I was ticked (Redhead/Veteran = Pissed).

Here's my email to them.

Here's their answer...

Ugh.

The DHL tracking number shows what I said before, but now shows a USPS tracking number, and that one isn't recognized by USPS yet.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] enyce9:
Any unicorn beetle pro cases ship yet? Mine has not.....
[Nexus 6P Accessories] fAndroid513:
I ordered the black UB Pro off Amazon on October 19, and as of today, it says in stock on November 16, with an estimated delivery of November 12-27. My only question about the case (first one ever) is if it were to "choke" the 6P because of a tight fit, causing any of the sensors not to work. I plan on popping the plastic screen protector out and using an intelliARMOR tempered glass that I have on order.

Also, is the UB Pro from Supcase as good or better than the Poetic Revolution (another first-time buy)? I was thinking of getting one of those when it comes out this month. It seems the only mil-spec case out for the 6P is the Speck CandyShell Grip, which is yet another case I'm not familiar with (the 6P will be my first Nexus ever), lol.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Lookatthemonkeys:
FYI The slim hybrid case in Frost/Black is available for Prime shipping now on Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015X90UJS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00

Mine will arrive tomorrow so I will post pictures when it arrives.

I am also interested in the full-body rugged case, but I am waiting for people to get their hands on it. I also wonder if the front screen protector has cut outs for the speakers or how the speakers work.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] enyce9:
Seems like the poetic revolution and the unicorn beetle pro cases are very similar. I would probably be happy to own either one. I do however own a unicorn beetle pro for my Motorola nexus 6 and am very happy with it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Akasa Fox:
I ordered my Unicorn Beetle slim this morning; it should arrive Wednesday, I have a USPS tracking number and everything. I hope this case fits without charger port defects or any of that.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] PaisanNYC:
As a USPS manager, I can tell you that the USPS tracking information will not update until DHL is prepared to tender your package to the USPS for delivery. Once that is ready, the USPS tracking will update. It is usually the morning of the delivery day, but can be up to 24 hours prior.

My experience with this is that I received the Amazon email that my order would be cancelled on 11/8, but I received shipping notice on 11/4. No information with DHL until 10/6 (when it actually shipped), and I should have it on Tuesday 10/10, from Georgia to NYC. (this is for the Hybrid).

And thank you for your service :)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
Mine says it went from GA to Kentucky and then was transfered to USPS pending delivery on Wednesday. Nothing has updated since 11/7 but I'm sure it will get here by then :)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] fatboypup:
Mines still in Georgia
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
It will probably go to Kentucky next for some reason like mine. I'm in PA so I have no idea why its going backwards first.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Yeah, I've had to deal with this before, especially living in a smaller town/suburb of Albuquerque, even Fedex and UPS sometimes hand it off to USPS. Looks like mine arrived at the local post office early this morning, maybe I'll get it today.

And it was my honor, thank you for your support. :good: :highfive:

That's a nice case, was thinking about it before myself. I just don't like the carabiner on it and that there is no holster.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] cccoltsicehockey:
Mine arrived about an hour ago. Here are some pictures.

All pictures were taken with the N6P except the ones where it was in the case and those were taken with my S6.

The quality and fitment are excellent. It doesn't cover anything up at all on the phone either.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] puritan007:
My frost/black just showed that I ordered after I read this posting. First impression is I love it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] puritan007:
Pic
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Thanks for posting the pictures guys, mine is supposed to be here today too. Along with the blue Moko with holster.

I'll probably have another pile of cases looking for the right one and end out getting the blue Unicorn Beetle Pro in the end unless I can find a holster that fits this one.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] alex800:
Mine was shipped via DHL from ALPHARETTA, GA on November 5th. No idea when it will get to me. There are no updates on DHL tracking site. Too bad Amazon prime shipping wasn't available when I was ordering. :(
[Nexus 6P Accessories] cccoltsicehockey:
Mine had the same date leaving GA that yours did and I got it today. I am in NC though could be a little longer depending on where you are.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] alex800:
I'm in South Florida....so hopefully some time this week.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] :
Thanks for the pics. Why did they make the lugs on the top/bottom? The 6/5/5X version was perfect.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] joshndroid:
ordered mine when i ordered the N6P. got the bettle pro in black, still another week till they are released (Nov 16) then the arduous wait for the post to arrive. Till then i had ordered 3 other cheap-o cases to get me by
[Nexus 6P Accessories] skriefal:
My Unicorn Beetle Pro case shipped today. Sadly, via DHL Global Mail (ugh!) -- just about the slowest domestic shipping service ever. Hopefully it'll be worth the wait!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] PaisanNYC:
You are probably closer to their DHL KY sort facility. DHL is a mere shell of what they used to be here in the US. They shut down alot of their operations and are concentrating big in Europe and Asia. But mine went from Georgia to New Jersey. Seems like most logistics companies have huge distro centers in NJ, central to NYC, NY, Philly, and CT.
