Accessories - where to buy in the UK?

Anyone seen any specific accessories for this device yet? All the searches just go to very generic stuff like chargers or those car mounts that have the big adjustable clamps.
Ideally I'd like a desk cradle and a car windscreen mount...

If you want a dock specific for the nexus and not just a generic dock then I think you are going to have to wait until after its been released. Give it about a week after 17th and stuff should start popping up on ebay or other sites.
I have been looking for a desk dock and a proper galaxy nexus car mount (not just a universal mount) and havent found anything that has images and sale date yet.
Mark.

I think you're right - I'm sure the chinese manufacturers won't take long to start knocking stuff out. It can sit on my desk for a couple of weeks.
(also, I dunno how I missed that accessories had a whole forum to itself. Duh. Thanks to the mod that moved this )

Yeah after those myself. Do Samsung usually make official accessories?

Are those good quality?
Will it fit the whole front face exactly or will it just be a 4.65" rectangle for the screen area?
Is there much of a difference between the cheaper or expensive ones?

No answers, as not received yet.
Got the despatch email, so hopefully will be here in the next couple of days. Will try to post up a review.

Any news on this...?

I just received them.
They are OK quality, I wanted some temp protectors before I get some proper ones in the near future.
Nevertheless, very quick delivery as I ordered Thursday afternoon and received Saturday morning (today).
My SGN was naked for about 12 hours but still sparkling new.

So are they cut specifically for the galaxy nexus that covers the whole front face or is just a rectangular protector for the 4.65 screen?

Hi
Received mine as well, but no phone to apply to yet (Phones4U still not delivered).
They appear to be cut for the whole of the front screen, curved edges with a cut out for the speaker.

Any one tried this yet?

Screen protector and case. I'm planning to import this from the UK before the GN gets released in my country.

Don't see the Vibrant (or any Galaxy S Variant). Google just gives a ton of SGS2 and 3 versions.

That's similar to the one I have now. I have a Vivid through work and bought a Barely There for it. By far my favorite case.
Thanks for trying though.

If it had Bieber's face on it maybe.....

You could just buy another battery cover. The case you're looking only protects that part, anyway. I got a soft-touch back from ebay but I don't think it's available anymore. Makes a huge difference to the in-hand feel. The plastic back feels ridiculously cheap in comparison.

I've dropped my work phone twice and both times the case protected the corners.

Found them on gocellular.ca and it arrived today. Awesome.

Could this case harm my phone?

I just ordered this case a few minutes ago
http://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B00G1G...qid=1392286988&sr=8-18&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
and now I saw that it uses a magnet to turn on/off the screen. I remember reading about magnets harming phones (compass, screen, etc.), so I wonder if I should cancel my order or if this case will be safe to use?

Don't panic. Magnets used in those kind of cases are safe for your phone.

Yeah you shouldn't worry. Even one of the official cases from Google/LG has the same feature.

I want something like that .-. Is there more cases like that?
Sent from my Nexus5™. On PA™.
" Nothing's ever locked..."

Thx everybody! Happily awaiting the arrival of my case (and my screen protectors) then. The on/off feature may even be a really nice thing, saves the power button some work.
@Galaxysm: No idea, but amazon.de ships almost everywhere and the price is really good atm. It fluctuates a lot on this case, I saw it for 16.99 two weeks ago, then 20.99 last week and today 9.99,

I've got the same case. The material on the inside is the same as the material on the outside (the color accent on the outside). It won't damage the screen at all, but it's not "soft," per se. Just smooth.

Thx. Guess I just have to deceide which color I will get now

lukas_s got it right, I installed a screen protector on my device just because I'm paranoid like that, but it is very smooth, and the cards stay very secure. I'm happy with my purchase, and for under $20 you can't go wrong.

Moto 360 bumper case 3D printed

I haven't seen anyone post this on XDA and I thought this is was different. sorry if already posted
below I have the quote from the original posting from the seller. DISCLAIMER: I have no affiliation to the seller nor do I know him!
ogdobber said:
I've designed two simple snap on cases for the Moto 360 that I hope will offer some extra protection to the glass face. Right now there is a short and tall version. The short is just 0.3mm over above the glass and the tall is 1.5mm above.
I've been wearing the short one in black since Thursday and have been happy with it from a fit and look standpoint. The matte black next to the stainless ring on the front looks great. And the tall version should be here this week and as long as it looks OK i will likely switch to it as i feel like the short one is mostly appearance and not helping to protect the glass at all. Can you tell I'm phobic about scratching the face of this watch?
I have only ordered the black and polished metallic. The black looks great but the metallic looks cheap and I wouldn't willingly wear it.
I'm open to suggestions for changes to shape and design if people would like some other versions. And while i make a few dollars off each of these, this is not a business and I'm never going to open tooling and make these commercially in volume. But i would be really surprised if there are not a dozen phone case makers turning out similar products in a few months. I'm actually wondering why they are not there already? Maybe Motorola didn't release outside dimensions ahead of release like they do for many phones.
If other are interested you can order from here: www (dot)shapeways(dot)(Com)/shops/Raelx[/url]

Great find! I may order the white one.. The only thing Im iffy on, is its covering up the beauty of the silver
Love the idea. but then again, its just more bulk to the watch (which is already big on my smaller wrists)

Like I said, I may order the white one as I feel it looks more like what a watch would be. So maybe get a white band too. More options to match an outfit too.

Short or tall version? This looks very interesting.

This is definitely interesting, I like it. To bad the shipping is almost as much as the case itself. Any discount codes for the site? I think I might just have to order one.

I ordered the matte black one today. I already have a few scratches on the side of the watch and bezel, but I managed to buff them out for the most part. This will help keep it from getting more scratched up I think. I'll post pics once I get it.

Short.

Looks great, I was ready to buy one, but it shows $19.99 for shipping, too much for a package that small.

I just ordered one with USPS First Class shipping total out the door $12.99

That's a reasonable price, the problem is i live in Puerto Rico and it shows $19.99 for ship to a total of $27.99, and some sites think we are international shipping. We have in PR USPS, UPS, Fedex that I use always without problem. Sending a small like that would be like 5 to 6 bucks on USPS.
For example: Yesterday i was going to buy a Amazon Fire TV for my boss, and I was unable to buy, even calling amazon support they told me they cant be shipped to Puerto Rico, and the crazy thing its I have a Fire TV since launch that I bought directly from amazon and received via UPS next day and she saw the order on my history he don't even know how i do it. I have prime and I receive the diapers for my toddler second day via UPS. Crazy stuff LOL

I live in NY so I have asked Shapeway if there is any way I can come pick it up. Their website does mention the fact that they are cool with personal pickups.

Shipping 2 to Florida and only 4.99 for USPS First-Class Shipping

Mine should still ship Friday according to Google's store

Has anyone heard about the shipping date if you ordered from the play store? Normally j changes to something other than pending the day before its released.

This is a bunch of BS, really they have a shortage in supply and recommend I order through Google or bestbuy to get it quicker.

I've been using it for a few hours now and its much better than my LG Urbane was. The button has a better 'click' to it plus if you triple click it fast it turns high brightness mode on. Who needs a flat tire when you have a nice looking watch that's just as functional I'll post a picture of it below next to my Luminox 1801 which is roughly the same size. The mesh band also feels great and conforms to your wrist easily.
The pictures don't do it justice because they make the display look washed out when it's actually really bright and clear with a nice AMOLED saturation to it. I'll take one later with my DSLR if I get a chance.
