So, has anyone tried coloring the white speaker grill on the Nexus 5 with a sharpie or something or even markers? It's not something I HAVE to have, it would just be really nice and then I could have a perfect Nexus 5, well at least in my eyes it would be perfect
Friendly bump
Huh? What is the point of this thread? You want to know if someone else colored their white nexus with a marker?

Perhaps you should've purchased the black unit?

Lol, I would have but white is the only one they had at the time I ordered. I was okay with it till I opened the box and saw that front speaker grill.
And yeah, I guess the point of this thread is to figure out if anyone has colored their white nexus 5

I have the Spigen Slim Armor and I'm considering getting the Neo Hybrid. I don't really know what I want, having this beautiful Nexus 5 in my hands makes me want to buy so many things for it!

I want to convert my white one to grey.... Hate white, but it was the only colour Rogers had.

This should probably be in the accessories forum.
With that pointed out, I have a white x myself and wanted to hide it some, though it has grown on me since getting it.
I had the guys when I got my ghost armor put on the screen, to cover the back in one of their black skins.
It looks pretty good, black back with white trim around edges, plus its backed for life by GA as well.

There are lot of cases on Amazon and eBay but I don't know if I'd personally buy a white case. Just in fear of it looking cheap. I do have to say though my HTC One XL looks beast with a red case. if you really want a white HOX why don't you just exchange it at the store you bought it from, unless they're permanently out of stuck. :/

Mercury makes a slim case in any color you can imagine.

Only problem i found in converting white grey or vise versa is the speaker holes present in HTC One X.
Most of the case makers not individually covering the spaces around the speaker holes.
So, if we put a white case on gray HTC One X, the speaker area would still look grey
Here's probably the slimmest white case I could find: http://tinyurl.com/9btqov3

If you can find someone with a white case, the phone comes apart very cleanly, without tools.

Well if SGP makes an ultrathin for our phone, then that one covers the speaker grills. But the front edges are still exposed.

That is another idea, you mean full swap I assume or just the case?
I'd hate to get a scratched or iffy screen in exchange that route though.

I just got the white nexus 5, and the back seems very off white, I was expecting it to be a bit more...whiter? Atleast based on the pics I saw. I have attached a pic..
Is that just the way it is for everyone?
It's more of a eggshell white, rather than the white you find on Apple and Samsung devices.

Its not even the white eggshell white. Its a bit yellowish if you will, just a bit disappointed after seeing all the pictures. Is this how it is for everyone?
Uploading it again, the first one doesnt seem to show up.

It's just a slight off white, but it's not yellowed by any means. First your picture is quite yellow, also the case may change the white a bit, looking near the camera, your phone looks white to me.
Also, that IMEI on the back of your phone is just a sticker, you can take that off.
Looks fine to me. I think the clear case you have is probably making it look less white, but that looks no different then anyone else's.

It's meant to be like that because of the coating makes it more durable

yup, its def off white, egg shell, almost grayish. i initially ordered the white, going with black instead now
A picture of the phone without the case would have been a better way to make your point.
Mine's white. Should it be so white it glows in the dark?

Hello guys, let me explain my situation. I own the white 32gb nexus 5 since day one.
I dropped my phone yesterday and, as a result, the screen is now broken and there is a huge damage on top, beside the microphone.
I was looking for replacement part and I guessed if I could assemble the black matte frame with my white back cover.
The new phone will be black earpiece, matte black sides and white soft back.
Would you guys suggest me following this path?
I'm used to manipulate electronics, working on this phone doesn't sound like a problem at all for me.
I would like to point out that the Nexus 5 has it's screen glued. This makes replacement difficult.

I'm quite worried about the result.
Do you think the two parts will match well together?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk[/QUOTE]
I'm not exactly qualified to say personally but if you are used to working with electronics, then you can give it a try. After all the screen is broken and most of the other parts are easy enough to fix a far as far as the tear down says. I would personally think that replacing the earpiece would be relatively easy. After all the Nexus 5 has a very high repair ease rating.

Gunmetal gray. Extremely satisfied. Looks sleek, build quality is excellent, way better than my M7. I am really, really, really impressed with HTC. I am in love with the camera features, I honestly might stick with sense based roms for this iteration because the features are cool and useful, unlike samsung.
I want gold. I think its worth the restocking fee. I got the darker gray

Do you recommend the dot case? Almost got it at the Verizon store but wanted to spend at least a little bit of time w/ the phone naked. I wasn't a fan of the stock keyboard so I got SwiftKey and it suits me well enough. Typically I'd go with Google keyboard but the vibration strength on click is way too strong.

Gunmetal and I'm extremely satisfied. Out of the dozens of phones I've ever owned, the M8 has the BEST build quality out of every single one of them! It looks and feels so classy compared to every other android device available.

Just finished installing SwiftKey as well. As for the case I find it too stiff. But I've been breaking it in and it's not as bad as when I first bought it. However it doesn't fold flat against the bank of the phone which annoys the hell out of me right now. But it has saved my battery I assume since I answer all my calls with it on.

Same here, boss actually got a little mad. Gunmetal and the incipio dualpro thin black and grey case. They go perfectly and great protection with no added bulk or weight. Was thinking to get the dot case but doubt will be any good from drop protection. Never had a flip style case so not sure how I'd like it.
Gunmetal. Sick as hell. My vzw rep actually brought me all 3 colors and let me keep them for a day to decide, but really the grey is by far the best aesthetically. I'll say though that all 3 are on par with or better than iPhone in terms of build quality. Highly satisfied.
