Hello,
We have no lanyard hole in the Nexus S.
Any ideas how to attach it?
Did anyone found a case with lanyard?
What do you think about clingo? (sorry, I'm new and can't a link. Just google "Clingo universal mobile neklit") It doesn't seem to be very secure.
No idea. I don't think I've had a lanyard hole on a phone in several years....

try looping it through the speaker holes in the back cover? just hope it doesnt go flying off lol. otherwise im sure you can modify any case.
Did someboby found an lanyards case?
Something like lanskin . com for IPhone (sorry I can't post links so far) but for Nexus S.
Mark.
oops and I thought the speaker hole was the lanyard tether point ! I suspect the back will pop off at some point if used for that purpose
It looks like there is a lanyard hole in the back of this trident case.

Sorry, I still can't send links.
Search on YouTube "Trident Cyclops for Google Nexus S"
It says that screen protection do not work well with curve screen :-(
Any other ideas?

Drill a hole through it!
no. Dont do that
This is more of a hardware question but I recently cracked the glass that covers the rear facing camera so I'm replacing the chassis inside. And I figured since I was popping it open anyway, does anyone know if there is anyway to get a Red colored replacement cover from the red Nexus 5 so I can sorta mod my white Nexus but with a red battery door? Do they even have that available?
Not seen anything yet but that's not to say they won't be available. There's a seller on eBay with the white/black covers so I'd assume they'll end up with the red ones

One thing to note is that you get the official battery cover so that it has the NFC and/or wireless charging receiver in it. Some sellers might have replicas but it might not have the chips built in.

This is the seller on eBay that does the OEM white/black ones:

Might be worth keeping an eye on them
Found this.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rear-Cove...K_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item2337ba6411 Good luck!
Please can someone provide me with an eBay link for the white one .. I live in India and I would like to know if there are any near me..
I searched a lot on eBay and I found plenty but I don't know if they are the original ones or not .. Coz I heard if it isn't, the NFC is faked in the duplicate ones.. Please help me find a white one, thanks!

Anyone going to be getting this?
Yea, but only in Silver. I'll try it when they release the Black one.

At $40 I'm going to wait and see some reviews and photos before placing an order.
Interesting. Is the aluminum flush with the glass?

I believe it is. All the reviews on the iPhone 6 which is basically the same glass are positive. I think the aluminum might look cool but I'm in the same boat. I'm going to wait for some reviews and when the white version comes out
I like the look of this lots but wonder how the crown will effect the fitting of a case, I'll also be waiting for a black version and seeing if they post to the uk

One of the reviews I watched mentioned that the taper of the crown where I case would meet is approximately .1 mm. I would imagine it depends on how much the case wraps around the front of the screen. The one that's on my phone right now actually doesn't even get to the glass.

I'd agree it will depend on the case and my current one a spigen neo hybrid over laps the glass I would say by about 1mm or possibly 2mm, still very tempted once the black version arrives.
Op will you also update when they make the black variant available?

Just got this reply to my question about other colours on their fb page.

We will only have silver at launch. We are planning to add more colors in the future. Thanks for the inquiry Dave!
Bit vague unfortunately.
Why they would only have silver when the phones are either white, black or gold is beyond me.
'Cause aluminum is silver and they're rushing the product out before they can get a process in place to paint or powder-coat or whatever the aluminum?

They have the "Crown" for the iPhone 6, 6 Plus and Note 4 in Black & White. I believe that they should have the color process down pat by now.

Ok, new theory: They want you to buy the silver one, then buy a new one when the color you want comes out.
See? I'm adaptable.

And I believe you are also 100% correct.
So all this is really doing is using the "silver crown" to hide halos, right? It doesn't sound all that revolutionary, but I guess its one way to get rid of the halo problem.

Correct. Basically the same idea as the tempered glass screen protectors with colored borders. Both are just two different ways with dealing with the halo. The good thing about the crown is that it actually curves with the actual glass. Whereas the edge to edge tempered glass screen protectors have a small gap between the edges of the tempered glass and screen that tends to build up dust.

I bought one for my Note 4 and to be honest I was very dissapointed. After installing the glass and the crown piece (they are seperate) I still ended up with a very slight halo that can be seen all the way around the glass - it was small but you could see it when the screen is off.
The "Crown" piece isn't as smooth as you would hope and my finger catches on it - particuarly around the home button -(at the bottom of the phone)
The concept sounded good - but the execution was slightly off - I complained about it to Body Guardz and they sent me a new one - same thing happened.
I still have it on the note - but I would never buy it again and I won't be buying it for the S6 - but that is just me. Others may have different results.
I'm thinking about getting the official samsung S-view standing cover case. I've got a silver phone coming but I want to get a black case because light colours get dirty quickly. Will it look silly to have a silver phone in a black case?

I don't think so. Black and silver should match well enough, and if you have any doubts stop at a store and try them out in person if you can.
Cool.. I took a chance.. I just bought the case.. my phone is stuck in customs clearance though.. I hope they clear it soon so I can get it today..
I've been looking at the same and I think it would look good. Post pics if you would when you get it!

As requested. Sorry I took so long as I put a black screen saver on it as soon as I got it, but that's broken so now the phone is naked again.
hey guys, first time for me to get a bumper but before i get the rhinoshield i'd like to ask those that own it whether the buttons will start to feel more clicky after a while of using it.
e.g after a month or so, i read on reddit/and saw on a youtube review and a review on XDA.
all complaining about Stiff buttons , meaning hard to push powerbutton/vol up down.
and i hate stiff/mushy not clicky buttons, i love clicky tactile buttons.
does the rhinoshield improve within time? if yes i'd like to get it
or if someone knows of a nice bumper case for the 6p, please let me know.
i only know about the rhinoshield.
I'm glad to say that yes, I have mine for like half a year and after 2 month it's start to be clicky and satisfying.
And if it not was so clear on the first 2 months I suffered from those buttons, really stiff and unpleasant feedback.
Now I'm very happy with my bumper, completes my phone
They're not as bad as they're made out to be. You'll need to put a skin on the back to avoid finger print smudges though.
Buy it.

I pondered over the same question a while back, before buying the crash guard..
after having it for about 6 months [ maybe more ], i keep thinking " why did i bother asking the question before ordering ".
In a word its " perfect "
In the beginning, it was a bit hard [ not too much though ], it got mellowed out and its great now.
No clicking issues here.
dropped it a few times from like 3-4 feet [ accidentally of course ], no issues there also :good:
Hope this helped.

out of thanks buttons , thanks for showing.
your combo looks badass.
i also have a skin on the back of my 6p and the skin is quite light, whitei'sh.
so i look forward to combine it with the white rhino shield.
Hi! I got the first batch of the Nexus 6p bumper case from Rhino Shield and the area by the charger sort of broke over time. They do offer a lifetime warranty where you just pay for shipping and they don't charge you for the replacement. I had the white one at first. It changes color over time from a really clean white to like greyish even after soaking it in some Clorox mixture over 8 hours or more. So I got the dark blue one as a replacement. I don't regret buying from them at all.
While it is very stiff at first, it gets better over time.
Taking a screenshot can be a pain, though. It often triggers just one or the other (usually the volume button) unless if you press them a certain way.
Hope that helps.

Wow couldnt have said it better myself! My white bumper turned blue from my jeans really quick and also had the charging port hole break after removing and putting the case back on too many times.
Switched to the blue version and couldn't be happier. I attached a pic of my current setup for anyone that is interested, got that American pride going

this looks sleek with this dbrand combo.
does it peel off the skin after you remove the bumper?
i still have not ordered mine, i will get the dark blue one !
i ask because i also happen to have a skin applied on my 6p, from decalgirl.
and btw. do you have a glass sp on ? will the bumper work with a glass sp?
i have no sp on mine at all, but still would want to know ,because i need a glass sp since i am a frikkin clutz.

The skin doesn't peel off when I remove the case. Be careful removing the case alot though, I cracked the charging port that way.
So I have an intelliarmor (highly recommend) and it fits just fine within the bounds of the bumper. Granted I put it on after the bumper was on to make sure it didn't interfere.

Im waiting on a replacement right now and Intelliarmor assured me that the Nexus 6p 0.2mm will fit with the case that I have. I'm not sure what I had prior since my order invoice just says 6p screen protector.
