http://cnn.cn/shop/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=nexus+one&image.x=0&image.y=0
Ive ordered from here before, and its a great place!

same here. Parts for Cheap!

Is the matte screen protector on there any decent?

I dunno. I've just ordered parts to fix phones, ie screens, keypads, etc and a few battery chargers. Going to love keeping a spare battery on deck again, stupid iPhone.

My Nexus one has a broken LCD but all they have on their site is the digitizer.. Hopefully I can find a replacement LCD soon..

cnn is great, but they ship slooooooow! Keep it in mind if you are on a tight schedule!

Those are not bad prices at that site!

bumpage for the morning folks

Can anyone tell me where to find lcd for nexus?

Nexus one replacement part needed
Does anyone know where I can get a replacement part for the outer shell of the nexus one? The part i need is the aluminum frame that goes around the screen, earpiece, trackball and loops around the lower back... (Picture attached)
I dropped it and the scratches arent bad ont he plastic parts, but the aluminum part near the top (where the earpiece is) is chipped like crazy. Anyone know where I can get this part?
Or if I buy a mock up phone, will it disassemble into the same parts as the external casing for the real thing? Please help! Thanks!

anyone know where i can buy just an external speaker, mine is shot

possible replacement parts source
Searching around for parts for a friends Nexus one myself and found this for the housing.
http://mobile.brando.com/google-nexus-one-replacement-housing_p05399c0670d088.html
Also found this one who supposedly lists parts for the various sub-assemblies http://www.lunacommerce.com/154-nexus-one-spareparts
Have a email sent in to the last one for what they are calling the P/N LNC-GPGNOMB Google Nexus One Mid Chasis. Kind of sucks cause that is really 2 boards and Im only needing the small board that has the sim connector and sd card connector that sits on top of the main motherboard.
Have one broken pin on the sim card that is preventing the phone from being usable at this point and not able to find just the replacement sim connector or the board its on, instead the whole main board would require replacement. doubtful its gonna be cheap either. Anyone have a damaged unit with these cards they want to get rid of?

anyone else having problems using the lunacommerce site? i sent for an enquiry for a part and it said the price was sent to email but is not there?

good to know all these parts are available
Can you fix that SIM connector pin with solder?

Does someone know if the dummy phone have the same material as the real one?
I have also scratches in the aluminium around the phone, wondering if I can take apart the dummy and replace this onto my real one.
http://cnn.cn/shop/google-nexus-dummy-phone-p-8442.html

Ive ordered from CNN as well, parts where nice and fit great... I too am interested in replacement body parts for the N1.

I just looked for some parts around Brando site...
If you enter "Nexus One" as a search string you get all parts they have:
http://mobile.brando.com/search.php?keyword=nexus+one&Submit=Product+Search
as for me, a bit cheaper that "CNN" proposes.

This place also has the housing:

Wtf? For 80$ I can live with my scratches...

Why no cheap battery covers?

I'm in the middle of making a flipping mechanism with a mini Bluetooth keyboard attached to my phone. Its pretty much just a hinge joining the two, and will allow me to conveniently bring with me some physical keys for typing, and more importantly gaming.
At the moment, I've attatched the hinge to an old case for my N1 instead of the phone itself. Its really annoying, since the extra bulk shouldn't be necessary.
There's a video on YouTube of someone doing the same thing with a HD2, and he is using an old battery cover, which doesn't add any bulk.
I was wondering why there aren't any cheap battery cover replacements for the N1. I understand that it may be difficult because of the speaker muffler and camera cover, but surely for under 10 dollars I could get a crap one off eBay/DX.
I've seen the larger ones which can fit the extended batteries, but none that are similar to Tue original. I honestly would not care if I bought one made of crappy plastic, anything as long as I'm not paying $20/30/40 for the OEM ones

Because its a developer phone, only a few have it.

I'm taking about cheap ripoffs.
Look at the amount of all the ridiculously cheap cases and other accessories for the N1 on eBay.
I don't want an OEM battery cover, I want the most basic and cheap cover. I would have thought there would be some manufacturer out there who has taken the mould of the original and then mass produced them with cheaper materials, because they seem to have done so with the extended batteries.
I'm simply putting it out there to see if anyone has come across a product that fits my description.

Galaxy S Full Housing

Anybody come across any sites that sell full housing yet in different colours? Galaxy S seems to be very popular where i live and would like mine to be different (not just with a case).
I.E. full red housing, full white housing, etc.

hi
I think it just will make your phone fat. I'm using invisible shield. Already have for half year and phone did not scratch at all. I know they're expensive but they worth every cent.

Yeah invisi sheilds are one of the best about IMHO and worth every penny.
Last phone i modded was a blackberry bold 9000, and made white before blackberry started producing other coloured ones. Hoping that someone will produce the same sort of full housing for this model at somepoint

Haven't seen one either.
There's always spray paint.
Just jking. Don't do it.

Hi.
I have oder this casing couple days ago:
http://www.exportprive.com/ultra-sl...se-samsung-galaxy-i9000-infinity-p-13255.html
And you have a lot of other types of cases and colors on this site.
I'll give you info about case when it arrives, but it looks good and solid.... But will see when it arrives

Don't forget to add lots of pics with a good camera in different light conditions when it arrives. A review would be great.

Lol at spray paint comment
Not after a hard case, i am seeking the housing. I do not want to add extra bulk to the phone (i have a hard case already and they are good if you are in conditions if you feel the phone maybe susseptible). The housing is the full housing of the phone so would be battery cover, screen surround etc.
Here is the housing but i am after different colours of these;
http://www.globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-i9000-Housing-p/smsng6087190.htm

well the good thing about me being korean background is that I get to access the market place in korea for the phone as it is very popular like iphone to the states it be safe to say sgs for the korean market and other after market accessory.
I am assuming you are after a battery cover^^?
Check these sites out I personally got a white battery cover and mine is the only white covered SGS^^!! As for purchase? enquire direct to website or get a korean friend^^;;; Make sure you add "h" in front of the addresses.

Battery covers will be the path i have to go down if i cannot find the full housing. As you say you have a white battery cover you have half the phone in white. With a full housing the surround of the screen and walls of the phone would also be white.
Battery covers readily available on ebay as well mate but thanks for the share.

Replacement Parts - Genuine

Hey all,
Just purchased a great 2nd hand Galaxy S.
Wow what a great product... very impressed with the screen
So, I have just replaced the old screen protector with new one and now need to find a genuine back cover with the black carbon fibre look (with google logo) and also a chrome bezel which has a few nicks in it.
Any ideas where to buy these at the lowest cost?
TIA

I think this is what you might be looking for

Thnx xmsnx,
Where is the Samsung logo in that picture?
Looks OEM not genuine..
I would like a genuine rear cover and chrome bezel. Not easy to find on ebay all are fake.
I think I found this:
http://www.gogotoshop.com/product_info.php?language=en&currency=USD&products_id=3039
Looks very genuine and has the chrome bezel part too
EDIT: Just bought the parts from this guy. Will report back how it all goes..

How do the new parts look? My chrome bezel also needs a replacement
Sent from my I9000 with 4.0.4

Thanks for the resources, I was actually looking for a new backplate or potentially housing.
My Stock backplate started getting cracks on the side really early on. Having to take out the battery far too often when learning about flashing and ROM hacking ;P

Unicorn Beetle Case

Hi
My unicorn beetle case just arrive and I want to share my toughts with you.
First I order it from Amazon as I live in Chile the final cost was around 50 bucks.
I drop my first moto x 2014 (the one in the pics) and it screen shattered so a case for my new moto X was a must.
The case came in a really simple cardboard box, inside you find the 3 parts of the case:
- Front panel
- Back panel
- Belt clip holster
The plastic bag that contain them have a QR code with a link to a video of how asamble it but is really very easy.
The front panel have a integrated screen protector and only leave the mic, front camera and speaker unprotected (this is why this case is not waterproof).
The backpanel leaves the Motorola, the camera and the back mics unprotected also, but it have protectors for usb port and the audio jack.
The only fail that I notice is the holster, only once I was able to attach the phone to it, I haven't been able to do it again, it should be a lot more easier, but anyway I dind't plan to use it.
The phone dosn't gain a lot of weight and I still feel it comfortable.

Amazon here is the link
http:// www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Full-body-Pr...sim_cps_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=19648HH318XVMNJXQVH7
But now appears as unavaible.
It don't show up in the company webpage neither I don't know why.

Update:
The holster works great but the screen goes looking inside, the camera face out that is the reason why it dont fit when i tried

I actually just picked one up. I really like it. Its kinda big so I am not going to use it as my daily case just when I need the extra protection.

I don't know if that will be a great idea, I use mine all the time but for a test that I really need to use wolfram alpha I remove it, I haven't been able since then to use it with out bubbles in the screen protector.

Actually bought one,
Very happy with it, just the hard plastic back is easily scratchable, i already got a deep scracth in it... Tried it on a coloured back moto X too and the frosted back is wonderful !
15€ on Amazon.fr

any updates? i tried the link you posted but had no luck. i got my phone on jan 2,15 and havent yet been able to find a case i like for it.

I've had this case for about a week, and I have mixed feelings. It's a very rugged case, and I feel comfortable about the phone not being damaged. However, there are a few things I would change about this case if I could. First, since the case isn't waterproof, it could do without the integrated screen protector and headphone/power port covers. It takes a little bit of dexterity to hold the cover open just to plug in the charger. Secondly, the power and volume buttons could be more pronounced. I have accidentally turned off the screen many times while trying to adjust the volume.
I don't regret the purchase, though, and I'd definitely recommend it as an alternative to Otterbox.

I've had this case in white for just over a month, here are my impressions.
- sturdy case
- excellent quality
- great price
First thing I did was yank off the screen protector. It is a far better plan to apply something like a BSE skin than to keep using the screen protector that's included.
This means you can take off/on the case with little fuss as much as you want. Its easy to remove and seems up to the task of repeated removal.
The fact that the front of the phone sits in the trim piece is awesome. Makes for a sandwiched and protected feel.
I like the port covers. Yes, they can be a pain to pop open for time to time but again they also seem to be built well enough to take the abuse.
Since we don't have a waterproof phone but only the nanocoating inside I like the added ingress protection that they offer.
I have the white/grey case and it is gaining some darkness on the corners but I'll blame my grubby mitts on that one.
The holster is good not great. Phone sits well in it and feels well made. Too bad its missing the kickstand in the clip.
All in all I give it a 9/10.
For the price it sells for and the protection it offers its a no brainer.

white unicorn?!
@shanedragon, could you please post some pics of the case? I'm about to pull the trigger on the black/blue version, but I'm curious about how the white looks in real life.
I'll do the same, if I get the blue.
Thanks!

I have it in white. Here are a few photos I took. The photo of the front is a bit blurry.. Sorry!

I've had one of these cases for a while. I only use it when at work and do a manual job with dust, grit, grime and angry bovines. Well they're not angry all the time! The case is the dark gray/black and is in not bad condition considering. The Moto X on the other hand is pristine despites drops out of open tractor doors, drops onto concrete and countless excursions onto cab floors.
The built in screen protector is useful as I don't have anything on my moto x 2014 screen. I tried a couple of the glass screen protectors but removed both after a short time with the edges lifting and dust getting under the lifted edges. I also like the port covers though agree both are a little tricky to open. That said I rarely open either when the case is fitted. On previous phones I've has dust and chaff get jammed in the usb port and once somehow managed to get an animal feed pellet stuck in the headphones jack.
When I ordered the Unicorn case, unbeknown to me the mrs had ordered me an Otterbox Defender case so have that as well. It seems to bulk the phone more than the Unicorn case and the rubber texture makes it less easy to remove from pockets. It is also harder to fit compared to the Unicorn but on the other hand you about need a tyre lever to remove the Unicorn. It's a good case but prefer the Unicorn. I say again I only use a case on my Moto X for work. For pleasure it goes bare

I ordered the Beetle case, and it is in my opinion, the best case I have tried for the phone.
Thanks for the suggestion
