Has anyone thought of google making the next nexus?

They made the Nexus Q, and I know its not an indication. Has anyone else thought about it? The material and feel looks really nice, and google is well known so it could sell. Would you like a Google Made nexus?

The problem with the Q is the price they are charging for what it does.
If their newer nexus phone is made in America like the Q then imagine the price they would charge.

Price is everything.

A $1000 Nexus just went to my head :O

That's true :/

If it's made in USA and the parts are good: I'd buy it at whatever price. Sorry in advance for going on a political rant but a lot of problems like jobs lies in outsourcing for the sake of costs. I'm willing to pay a bit more if it helps another American keep a job, or probably create more here where we need it.
Although, I don't know if Google specializes in hardware development.....

I have to agree with your sentiment, as the manufacturing industry in my country (Australia) has suffered significantly over the past few decades, due to the outsourcing of manufacturing needs to Asia. While we have to accept that it is way more feasible to make certain products in other countries due to the manufacturing costs, it's important to support the skilled manufacturing sectors in our home countries. I really like that the Nexus Q is made in the USA, and I think many americans will too!!
I'm still not sure on whether I think the Nexus Q itself is a viable device, but I can see a place in the market for premium made-in-USA Nexus phone. However I think it would be best if Google avoids manufacturing phones itself, as I think it would weaken the position of the other phone manufacturers as Android partners.

Obviously, you haven't seen the new drop tests between the One X, S3, and iPhone 4S.
Even the iPhone did better than the S3, so that is the reason why I'm not going to buy an S3 (despite it being near perfect in any other way).
In reply to this thread, I still think we should have the 5 Nexii (and maybe a 6th from Google?)

Yes, but he was talking about "non recyclable plastic" as opposed to metal and glass, so obviously he's talking about literal recycling. He meant it in a way that samsungs products are crap because they are made of non recyclable plastic.... :what: wut

Could be worth a shot. But i would probably expect a rip off design of some sort.

Wow this one is blatantly using spigen's pics. Most others do not have spigen on the tpu and neo hybrid isnt written on the side. Usually these fakes are lower quality and fitment isn't spot on. I'm using a neo hybrid now. I like it but..I'm still searching for something else.

What do you think of this new case for our S4?
pretty strange i think lol.

Thats great I quite enjoy my original samsung sview cover only thing it lacked was protection this solves that, if I hadn't ordered the spigen clear cover case for my sview I would be all over this

Like space age pod for your phone

Damnit spigen stahp

i'm not that impressed, especially based on what they are charging and i own 3 spigen cases for my s4... then again, i'm also not happy with their marketing tactics when it comes to the neo hybrid frames.

This really resembles the UAG case I got from amazon for my s3. Was going to go with UAG again but this has a front cover too so may try this first.

Everyone is complaining about the frames on neo hybrid. I'm one of them. And they don't seem to care about. Unfortunately

Well I understand that, but honestly I get the feeling they don't have the inventory for that yet. Considering I still had to wait a couple extra days for a black one, it just makes more business sense for them to sell the full units only until they have an excess of frames. Now, in 6 months if they're still selling the case only, then that would be not cool.

it's deceptive marketing with the neo frames. i know if the FTC was made aware Spigen would have two choices: a) offer the frames b) stop marketing the product as customization.

dont know about that.
I wonder if they will only make this one on white,because many people may want some other colors.so maybe they could make at least the same colours they did on slim armor normal cases.

Cool case. I may buy one to use at work (I'm in the construction business). However, using it when I'm not at work - no. It's just too bulky in my opinion.

Clever idea but definitely seems that it would be too bulky for every day use

There aren't too many options. Check out store.androidcommunity.com/krusell-sealabox-waterproof-case/4A104A13551.htm but its not specifically s4, so fit might be a bit loose. There are a few more in development, specifically for the s4 so that should help.

Yeah see that's more like a temporary case to use when needed I'm looking for something along the lines of life proof

I thought they said they were not making an S4 case. That's cool. I gotta decide between Seidio, bFree, and LifeProof now I guess. I put my S4 in my dad's otterbox armor and it fit haha but it was snug. Seems like making one for the S4 should be a lot like the S3

I agree. The otterbox is huge and they flat out said no to the S4 to me. I like Seidio a lot though. I had the Obex for the S3, and it was a pain to get on and off, but it worked great.

I actually had that issue with the Obex. I ordered some small monster extenders for $4 I think from Amazon. They were a good purchase, I keep them attached to all my aux cords so that I can just plug that in. Adds about 3 inches to the cord. This bFree looks sweet too, but it's only good for 3 feet 30 minutes like the active.

There's one in every thread that does this. I mean I understand it works, but does the joke not get old? If we wanted to use ziplog baggies why even have the thread. Everyone should know by now that a ziploc will work for the most part. They're too big for the phone, they can rip, and you might not seal it perfectly once, the last 2 end badly for the phone and user.

Can you put up some sort of review online? I just came across this yesterday and I need one bad but I haven't seen any sort of reviews on it... Video would be great or just written. How is the screen protector? Is it a tight fit or is there a lot of space between it and the screen?

Fake or real Otterbox?

Hi. I bought an otterbox defender from walmart.com, and I was hoping someone could help clear little doubt I have.
I would think a vendor like walmart could be trusted, but I heard that fake otterboxes have a seam; there is clearly a seam on
this case so I'm a little worried it may not be genuine.
Does this look right?:Is it supposed to look like this?
thanks for any help!!

Check this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335762&highlight=otterbox+commuter

Thanks,
I see no difference between the boxes; but the stamp on the case looks deep and has the periods like the real one in the picture, and the upc number is the right one.
The back feels kind of slick though, maybe it's supposed to be like that?

I have the commuter (ordered from otterbox) and there is a seam just like that on the rubber part. I don't think walmart wouldn't sell fake ones.
