Do you have a link to the case you speak of? I'm a case harlot I'm afraid.
[Nexus 6P General] ursupplyer:
http://goo.gl/WHdThQ there you go, its the same $35 classy case from google, they just fixed the price?.
[Nexus 6P General] tech_head:
I don't know what people are doing.

I don't put my phone in my back pocket.

I don't see scratches or any other cosmetic issues.

But then, I'm always able to sell my phones 1-2 years later because they still look mint.

Expensive portable hardware should be taken care of.
[Nexus 6P General] dratsablive:
My 6p hasn't bend yet!
[Nexus 6P General] galaxys:
I make a effort to take care of this Silver beauty and it still looks close to new!
[Nexus 6P General] Jammol:
Dang that's cheap AF, but that ship time though, lol. Trying to find it on Amazon but no luck.
[Nexus 6P General] ursupplyer:
Tell me about it? Ive been waiting for like 2 weeks and the case barely shipped from hong Kong, thats the case I want tho. My glass visor on the back cracked today right when I was taking a picture too lol.
[Nexus 6P General] V6iNSPIRE:
I've never damaged or broke any of my phones before. Some people just take care of their phones and that doesnt require you "baby" your phone. Just be smart, if you want it naked, buy a clear film for the phone. Dont want it to bend? Dont wear tight clothing or put your phone in your back pocket. Can't do any of that? Go buy a flip phone...problem solved.
[Nexus 6P General] combat goofwing:
Never had a case or a SP on ,in a pouch when not in use but that's it and still pristine
[Nexus 6P General] D@rekills4:
Everywhere I go I see people complaining about speakers on the back, on the bottom and now I see people complaining about front facing speakers on this forum.

Why do people no like front facing speakers? It blows the sound right at you.
[Nexus 6P General] Bucika:
Speakers are great, he said he can't stand the dirt that is paling up in the speaker grill.
[Nexus 6P General] Ulver:
You can always replace the back of your 6P, it's actually pretty easy.
[Nexus 6P General] D@rekills4:
Gotta agree, but a simple paint brush can do the job of cleaning.

Being in one of the most dust polluted countries in the world I need to do it once a month. Others would probably need to do it less number of times.
[Nexus 6P General] donwhall70:
I had a nick in the side after one day.. not sure how it got there.. maybe leaned up against something. It is now in a Spigen case with tempered glass.
[Nexus 6P General] Jammol:
Never said I didn't like the front facing speakers. They are the reason I will most likely not get the next Nexus (what is it with companies who start trends, leaving them?! HTC!!!!)

I do clean them but they get dirty way too easily. And is it me or are they water proof?
[Nexus 6P General] evoschecter:
Same here. I tend not to Sit on my phones...
[Nexus 6P General] iduser4:
I'd don't think its the most fragile device I've had. For me its been surprisingly durable I've dropped my phone from 8ft multiple times and nothing happened. However my device(s) have the worst build quality I've ever had in a smartphone. There are gaps here and there on the device which o don't like. The speakers arent balanced still even thought I've tried to correct it throw an equalizer. The glass visor is "clickly." Sometimes the power button doesnt work. And by far the worst from my 6p experience has been the screen calibration. On my original and replacement 6p both screen were piss yellow and the only way to fix it was through ex manager.
[Nexus 6P General] bozint:
Try a toothbrush, more stiff and can reach pretty much everywhere :)

On topic, I'm using the Speck one which came with my phone as a gift from BestBuy, it's a bulky case, but very grippy and protects great.

One week into owning the 6P, I dropped it on asphalt pretty bad. Out of my mind that I've cracked the screen or visor, to my surprise it only (understandably) had a few scratches on the frame and back. The screen is mint, I never have anything else in my pocket except for the phone.
[Nexus 6P General] bikeryder007:
My 6p has been solid, and I got it at launch. If you are not happy with it, you should get a note 7. They are so hot right now.
[Nexus 6P General] joooe:
Yep. Really "hot" at the point of exploding.
[Nexus 6P General] Sass86oh:
No way.... My phone is an animal! I must have dropped this thing about 50 times and it's still perfect no marks or anything and I don't have an outer box or any of that crap I keep her naked because she's sexy that way
[Nexus 6P General] Jammol:
So you dropped it on pillows right?!?
[Nexus 6P General] ursupplyer:
I bought another 6P and put a rugged armor case as soon as I took it out the box and it already has a small ( microscopic, actually ) circular dent at the side of the audio jack lol. Also installed iCarez pro glass screen protector.
[Nexus 6P General] ursupplyer:
Cover and dent.
[Nexus 6P General] kyzn:
Mine is holding up well. It's in a case since day one, a Spigen Rugged Armor and a PET screen protector.

I don't think I take so much special care with it. I chuck it in my backpack with my other stuff including a stainless steel tumbler. I've accidentally hit the phone against my desk a couple of times. I've also managed to accidentally drop my foot on it, I was stretching. Granted it was on the bed and my foot travelled down and hit the screen from a height of just a couple of inches.

No dents or scratches yet.
[Nexus 6P General] rustyjay:
Love my 6p, but the dam thing is fragile. I'm bent on vol key from a case I used (spigen) whole vol key area bent at weak point on a small drop in a different case. Then to top it off I shattered the screen. I know not phones fault on screen but when that happened it bent the charging port.

Can't wait for the new phones.
[Nexus 6P General] MBCO:
No case, no skin, no screen protector since day 1 and not a single scratch or dent minis some weird discoloration on the back under the Huawei logo.
[Nexus 6P General] bongd:
****... I work in construction and I've been rocking this phone in my pocket since it was released. Keep it in my pocket at the gym and dropped it on the ground many times. It dents, but it's held up better than any phone I've had.
[Nexus 6P General] RockwellB1:
I put a clear skin on front and back because let's face it, metal phones scratch and dent. Otherwise all I use is a bumper "case", thing looks flawless. Of course I've never dropped it, *knock on wood* I've never dropped a phone so I don't ever bother with more of a rugged setup. If a bumper isn't available, or at most a candyshell from Speck, I just skin it and call it good.
[Nexus 6P General] ManMOuntain:
I'm 6' 3"and pretty clumsy, have a silicon gel transparent case and a screen protector.

I've dropped my 6p several times onto concrete, laminate etc from waist height.

Not a mark.
[Nexus 6P General] D@rekills4:
I didn't put a screen guard on the phone, today, I saw minute scratches all over the phone's screen and one quite visible.

My Note 1 with gorilla glass 1 has no screen guard and doesn't have a single screen scratch. Not even a micro scratch.

I regret not putting a cover and screen guard on this phone.

I hate the fact how phones are getting weaker by every generation.
[Nexus 6P General] iRub1Out:
I have never had a case on any phone I owned, no screen protector, nothing, and my phone's almost never have scratches, marks or anything.

Idk, maybe don't put other stuff if your pocket with it, or put keys on it, idk - I am NOT careful with my phone's but I don't do stupid things and expect them to escape unscathed.

After 8 or so years owning smart phones I've never used cases or screen protectors, no problems. Just don't treat it like it's indestructible and it won't get marred up. I think it's kinda pointless to say it's a fragile phone, as it's blatantly not.
[Nexus 6P General] Juzman:
I usually rock a slickwrap "skin" and a tempered glass screen protector.
[Nexus 6P General] Maerad:
Dude, the S3 and Note 1 are made from plastic... this stuff is way more sturdy then metal and / or you see scratches not that much. The 6p is fine and the material is also ok. I do the IT in our company and also the phones of course. We run a policy that everyone that needs a phone can get what he wants. So we have a wide range of android and apple phones.

Till now I never encountered a phone, that had no marks on it if used without a screen protector or protection shell. Depending on the user it was a bit different.

The marks on your 6P on the side and at the camera are usual and happen with any phone, nothing special. The big mark on the back .... looks like you had something scratching against the metal. Maybe in your pants/jackt. Do you wear a ring by chance and have your hands in the pockets? That kind of scratch is not normal... really.

Anyway I would always get a protection case and foil for your phone, there are also really slim ones, but they give a additional protection against any downfalls etc. - 10 € and a better grip outweight any other costs from broken screens IMHO.
[Nexus 6P General] D@rekills4:
Okay but the screen is certainly weaker than Note 1's Gorilla Glass 1.

Never have I kept the Nexus 6P upside down. It's never in my pockets with any other object. And never have I placed anything on the 6P.

It has atleast 7 to 8 minor scratches which are visible when the screen is off in a direct light source.

The Note 1? I have removed my headset and placed then rightly on the Note, sometimes even banging them a little bit, it has called upside down on the ground twice, I place it upside down the the table all the time but it doesn't have a single micro scratch.

Explain that.
[Nexus 6P General] feis:
It cant be explained since you are only user in this thread expieriencing such things. I have zero scratches on my screen, its just as brand new, and i treat this phone same as any other. And yes, i have scratches on alluminium, which is completely normal.
[Nexus 6P General] rchtk:
I also noticed micro scratches all at the same place: where the back button is and is probably just due to my nail.

So the screen doesn't seem that resistant for this kind of scratches. I might buy a screen protection then..
[Nexus 6P General] ursupplyer:
May I recommend iCarez tempered glass? Its super reliable and the customer service will NOT let you down if anything happens. It costed me $7 in amazon
[Nexus 6P General] Jammol:
Each generation of gorilla glass has and is being made to be more shatter resistant instead of scratch resistant.

That's also the reason aftermarket screen protectors are make scratch resistant instead of shatter resistant. Not saying it's an entire industry ploy.

If you have a aftermarket screen protector(glass), it actually take the shatter impact so that the screen doesn't. It won't always work out that way, but it seems to for most depending on the characteristics of the fall.
[Nexus 6P General] D@rekills4:
Indeed.

Little do they know that phones get more scratched than dropped.
[Nexus 6P General] schlockmaster:
I'd like to weigh in on this subject. I am in the Smartphone Memory Card business and purchase almost every brand of phone that takes a Sim Card. I bought the Nexus 6P because we also make Leather Cases. I have purchased so many Aluminum Unibody phones from HTC, ZTE, Huawei, and from what I know they all use Aluminum Unibody housings. This is not just regular soft aluminum but Aircraft grade so it is lightweight and stands up to stresses. Unfortunately the paint treatments don't stand up as well as the metal. I'm not sure what people do to their phones or how they handle them but every single metal phone I have tested and we use them for 6 months at a time under extreme conditions without cases are almost pristine. Plastics are far worse that metal depending on what brand of phone you buy. I know that the Samsung phones like the Galaxy S5 had a back cover that was bendable and would not break. The phone itself stood up to torture and would not nick or show any wear or tear. Its sad to have to cover up a gorgeous new phone with a case. Unfortunately just like SOT people use their phones in different ways and everyone has a different experience with nicks and dents. Its a phone after all and we touch it and use it all day long so these types of wear and tear have to be expected.
[Nexus 6P General] Jammol:
Well the thing is they know that a lot of people are going to want to put a screen protector on their devices. Assuming that's the case, I would cut cost by focusing on making the screen shatter resistant compared to scratch resistant because I think that people are going to just put screen protectors on their devices. Also it would actually be cheaper in the long run to just make them more shatter resistant compared to scratch resistant because it's cheaper to buy a screen protector, compared to either the company covering repair costs, or us as a consumer covering repair costs.

I NEVER use a device without a screen protector for an extended period of time. I don't mind micro scratches but they can get annoying when you can see them for sure. In the long run, I rather spend $10 or whatever and keep my screen protected.
[Nexus 6P General] g00s3y:
If you want a phone to stay in mint condition, don't take it out of the box.
[Nexus 6P General] Sass86oh:
No on the cement my floors in my house a bunch of other spots. There's some scratches on the frame but the glass is perfect. That's what I meant by no marks.
[Nexus 6P General] spadz93:
I saw one thing wrong with the back, photo #2. This phone has taken some serious falls to which I didn't think it would prevail, but when I picked it up, not a mark. I've been raving about how incredibly durable mine is.

Either way, not having a case on ANY device is asking for trouble. Whenever any of my friends complain to me about a cracked screen, only to tell me later they had zero form of protection, I tell them to cry about it. if you like the aesthetic that much, try to find a clear case
[Nexus 6P General] nyttnick:
I think this fraglie and bend issu is a hoax. Some people are very aggressiv with theire Apple phones, and with the ip6 plus bendgate, they are desperate to prove this affects every phones. This is not true. The bend gate is exclusive an apple problem. I've seen this prooven on YouTube. And I am not handling my Nexus with extra care, and it looks just the same as when I bought it. It realy has good built quality.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jonc:
I remember while back in the Hermes forum there was talk about the fact that data traffic on t-mobile goes through it's proxy, meaning several things don't work that well.

E.g. Pictures are compressed, VOIP (Skype) cuts out etc.

I also remember people saying that you could set up a proxy server on your home network and then route your traffic through it, effectively tunneling all your traffic through a link that would then bypass the t-mobile proxy.

I've tried searching for details on how to get a setup like this working, in vain. So my questions are:

1) Do I have to set up the VPN on my "work" connection (I think I do, just want to confirm)?

2) What settings on my 3g/HSDPA connection do I need to change (I think there's a special t-mobile proxy server you have to use, rather than the standard one)?

3) Does anyone have experience with VPNs in terms of which ports to forward from a router --> the VPN server.

4) I have a choice between using my main desktop (Vista) and a Ubuntu box (Feisty atm), would one be better than the other to use?

Any other comments/experiences/solutions would be greatly appreciated.

[Nook Touch General] jasonmehmel:
Hey all,

The other day Read It Later stopped updating with the Pocket website online. I'm getting a dialogue that it is syncing lists but nothing else is happening, even if I leave it to try for half an hour. I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this!

I'm running a rooted Nook Simple Touch with software version 1.1.0.

Read It Later is the Pro 1.3 version.
[Nook Touch General] jasonmehmel:
I should be clear, the app is no longer downloading new articles or taking them out of the to-read queue when syncing. It is accessing my archive, so some kind of connection is still present!
[Nook Touch General] bonacieux:
Edit: found it elsewhere on this site. Will fire it up this evening and let you know if it works!

Actually I came here today hoping someone might share a copy of readitlater.apk with me? My NST recently broke, I bought another, but sadly hadn't backed up all my apks and so now can't get at anything! Pocket are refusing to send me the apk of the old version. If you would be willing to send me your apk, I can see if it works for me -- or if it is now indeed borked for everyone. [I did pay for read it later pro back in the day, I am not trying to nick something, though you'll just have to take my word for that....]
[Nook Touch General] jasonmehmel:
Any update, bonacieux?
[Nook Touch General] bonacieux:
Sorry -- still alive here, but life has been unexpectedly busy and I haven't been able to play with my nook. Hopefully this weekend.
[Nook Touch General] jasonmehmel:
Here's my current workaround: I use IFTTT to sync any new Read It Later addittion to Instapaper, and then I use Instafetch (which works on the Nook) to read them there. The free version lets you read 10 articles at a time.

The issue with this is that I need to check off the read articles in Read It Later, since the activities in Instapaper don't sync back to Read It Later.

But there might be an IFTTT receipe for that...
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
So, did y'all see this post?
[Nook Touch General] jasonmehmel:
I had not. I had followed that thread to get the Kindle working, but it looks like whatever the problem was went beyond Kindle. I followed the directions, starting using the 1.0.1 app instead of 1.3 Pro, and it's syncing again! Hooray!

Read it Later / Pocket was probably my heaviest usage of the Nook so I was really wondering what I was going to do if it was terminally gone.

(My Instapaper -> Instafetch workaround was a bit glitchy...)

Anyone following this follow nmyshkin's link!
