I'm not really too sure that I like the coverage on that case. Doesn't look like it covers anything on the entire bottom surface of the phone, and that a likely place to get dropped onto. I do like the kick stand, but I don't know if I would/will buy it without good protection. What good is a cool case when you can't watch anything because you have a broken phone..

Wow that price is ridiculous for something that hardly protects the phone

Where are you guys ever that you don't have a larger screen (laptop or a tv) available? I'm not trying to be a jerk, just wondering. I had an evo for a while and the only thing I found useful for that kickstand is as an alarm clock.

I think mobiletechvideos.com may be where that video is. I do believe that he offers a service to replace it ... If you end up not being able to.

I think I may be jumping ship to either the atrix or the inspire. That is if I can get the wife to let me use her upgrade. The parts to replace are $125. I can get a new phone for close to that. Of well we'll see what happens
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

I see your logic but your not actually saving money doing that. Your just eating another upgrade and committing another line to att for another 2 years. Quick fix but more money long run.

I am aware I am not saving money but I get a new device, that while it may not be "better" it is newer. I know newer isn't better. And as far as committing to att for two more years they are the only carrier that I get service in my area. And my wife really doesn't care about the upgrade shes still happy with her razr and doesn't want to get anything new.

It could be $1.00 or $1000. It doesn't matter cause its out of stock.

cracked mine a few months back and got a screen from ebay and replaced it myself. its was about $60 and it even came with a kit for opening the phone. there's a thread somewhere on xda for disassembling the phone with pictures and stuff. pm me if you want more help.

I'm in the same boat as him and the need to change the glass. All the dissasemblies doesnt actually show how to separate the glass from the lcd.

@trusselo,
That is actually a normal practice on eBay, they raise the price when out of stock to avoid relisting and associated fees.

Yeah I saw that too. Thought it had to be a typo

Not sure if you can separate the glass from the lcd. All the replacements I saw available come with screen+digitizer as an assembled unit already. Pretty sure you have to replace the whole thing not just glass only.
Prices really raised huh.... got mine for $60 a few months ago. Maybe supplies is getting short.

I bought just the glass itself and yes you can buy it by itself either with the at&t or without it. Now i just to need to see how to separate i was told the two are held together by adhesive

"Google" branded desktop stand for Nexus 4

I just spent 3 days at an annual client conference with our Google support team. Every year the Google reps bring cool swag for us to give away. This year they had these branded phone/tablet stands. As you'd probably guess they went like hot cakes but I made sure to snag a couple before the crowds had their pick. The design is extremely simple but works perfectly. One of the Google reps and myself spent some of our down time trying to see how much weight these things could handle. We were surprised to see how well it held up with 10lb objects.
It works perfectly with every phone we tried as well as the Nexus 7 and an iPad. I never thought I'd use a desktop stand but this works so well that I'll definitely use it at the office.
Anyway, here are some pics...

Oh, and for the record, even the Google reps were jealous that I got my hands on a Nexus 4. So feel special because this go around even the Google employees didn't get one. :highfive:

Cool. A drag that it's not available to everyone.

They were actually surprised when I told them that people would probably pay for these. I told them they should throw them up on the Google Play Store but they didn't think there would be any real demand.

That's nice me like

I totally want one of these!

Tons of companies were giving out this at CES. Obviously with a different brand name on it. There's a couple different ones, this style white/blue with the triangle style folding, also there's a more simple gray/black one that the stand rotates 360 onto itself so it's flat, I got that one.
I'm sure you can find these dang cheap on eBay.

Not to pooh pooh the excitement but these stands are pretty standard giveaways in the promotional swag world. I've got one myself but not "branded" with Google on it.

It's funny you should mention that. I was at a party a couple of weeks ago and this guy there was telling me he works at Google doing some Android stuff, so I pull out my phone. Then we head a super geek moment, talking Android and the Nexus 4, and he was saying how pretty much nobody at Google that he knows has the Nexus 4 and he has only seen his supervisor with one.

Gorilla Glass 3 will still be glass and if you are excessively abusive, the glass will break.

Doubt the 3rd generation glass will offer any major shatter-proof features over the original GG. New technology does not balance out user error.

As fantastic as Samsung phones are, this thing isn't winning any beauty contests. Outside of the screen, it's plastic. EVERYWHERE. There are some pretty slim cases out there, just take a stroll through the "accessories" sub-forum.
Your options are:
1. Case
2. Insurance (ripoff)
3. Spending your weekends/afternoons on iFixit taking untold years off of your life installing what you hope to be a working screen from what you hope was a legit parts retailer
4. Getting extremely friendly with the customer service reps (read: hand jobs)
5. None of the above, just post on XDA each time you break your phone so you magically get a new one (works surprisingly well)

We have one of those blenders at home and it will blend anything you put into it. The thing is a monster.

Except that nokia.

I'm going to keep using screen protectors until screens become scratch-proof.

My Sapphire glass watch was still crackable.

Glass is glass. Doesn't matter if it has gorilla or elephant or bear stamped before it. If you drop it hard enough, it will break. So either get a case, try to be less clumsy, or live with the risk of it breaking.

Just ordered one red frame black back

Since the link you provide auto forwards me to ebay at this time, I'm going to not order one.

Ill Try again, but I had the same problem as you Paten where it forwarded me to ebay.
It did it again for some reason. Go to Casefantatic.com and find it there.

Since that site also lists a metal "Sigen" NeoHybrid, I'm going to call their products fake. The prices are outrageous for fakes too.

Why would you pay $60 for that case? And the damn thing looks just like my neo hybrid from spigen. Like the poster above me said, fake!

That thing is gonna destroy your signal. Aluminum back plates kill it, it will be even worse with full sides as well.

I know this case... This seller did not produce or design it themselves. The simply bulk ordered from China and asked the factory to print their logo on the case.

Thinking of buying this case. Has anyone been able to get their hands on one yet? I want to make sure it doesn't have a cell reception problem.
I have heard that the Galaxy Note 2 version of this case had reception issues due to the metal causing interference.
If someone can reply, that would be great. I want to make sure I don't waste the $80+

Yeah this case looks great but I'm not willing to risk issues with reception with a $60 case
