Top Of Phone Magnetic - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

This may be me being amazingly paranoid, but the top of my nexus picked up a staple off my work desk and took it with it.
I've never had a magnetic phone before, and it doesn't do this at the bottom of the phone, just the top.
I'm a bit concerned about putting it by my head now, but I don't really want to make a hat out of tin foil to use my phone.
Anyone else notice their phone doing this?

its highly possible the internal speaker is quite close to the plastic case speakers have magnets on them.......

Little know fact that the Nexus was spliced with a Magpie.
Be careful or more shiny things will go missing

but the nexus is shiny..........mind = blown

Im guessing that if its the speaker that its actually no worse than wearing big headphones

Nice - maybe I can turn my Nexus into an expensive Fridge Magnet while they fix the volume problem

You can also glue a piece of metal to your head and instant hands free

Now that is genius. And much cheaper than an overpriced bluetooth headset.

A vacuum cleaner?
Its a beeyotch to clean... There's a piece of foam under there so even with the grill off (which is underneath the glass) its something that is tedious
ah damn. oh well, then i won't even bother trying lol,..i got some out with a toothpick atleast
if it's affecting sounds quality, I'd check with a refurb if still within a year, if not, oh well. adds character
I noticed mine gathering lint from the first few days of owning it. Kind of annoying, but it doesn't noticeably affect sound quality and it doesn't seem like there's an easy way to clean in there, so I'm not too concerned. When the phone was brand new, I was much more paranoid about making sure it stays in perfect condition.

My screen is starting to get dusty on the inside. I'm going to have to clean it soon, but I keep putting it off because it's such a process to make sure there is nothing on the screen before you put the phone back together.
I've been able to successfully return phones to Verizon due to dust under the screen. Its considered a manufacturing defect. It should not happen. Happens more often on Motorola's though.

Stand for lap

Guys
I often use my tab just keeping it on my lap and need something to raise it hence looking for a stand. I also occasionally use the tab on a work table as well but looking for something that will somehow sit sturdy on my lap or a pillow
Thanks

I bought a padded lap stand very similar to the "Prop 'n Go" stand at http://www.paddedspaces.com/overview/
Not sure if that is the exact one or I got a different one, but I am very happy with it.
I bought this one:

The samsung works great in the lap, it has a lap possition.
you can buy a leather case which has a stand. It is useful.
+1 for Prop 'n Go
I also use Prop 'n Go for my 10" G Slate. Very comfortable on the couch and in bed. Best feature IMO is the universal design. I can quickly switch between my Kindle and G-Slate without the hassle of taking on/off special cases or crap.
Here is picture of mine with my tablet.

If so that's the exact same case I have myself.
Please do post pics of the damage as now you have me worried whether the same thing might happen to mine.
The locking tab is rubbing the phone every time I remove or put the phone in it .
Just make sure to bend the tab way back even when putting the phone in , but I don't know if bending it so much will weaken it and let the phone fall out one day.

That's what I do.
So I take it you've just been snapping it in without doing that?

Case-Customs Custom HTC One Case

It looks like it's printed onto the case apposed to the POS Sticker Cases you find for the iPhone, lets see how long it lasts.

Taken with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3
I'm really tempted. How well does it fit? Does it seem like it would protect the phone well? How bulky?

It fits great almost too good kind of a pain to take the phone out of it, it's extremely slim.
Only one Gripe about it is the top and bottom only go a part of the way up the phone, and the headphone port is sharp, I feel they should of rounded off those edges and corners
I have been looking for exactly like this. But the durability is a little concern, feel free to post some updates that how it lasts.

Crack in bottom headphone jack!

Today I noticed that my phone has a crack that goes across the bottom and crosses the mic hole. No drops no cuts. I taken care of this phone and this is what I get. The cut even goes and crosses the silver band. It's awkward. I wonder if tmobile will trade it for a newer one. Makes no sense. The note 3 or iPhone lasted longer without any types of normal wear cracks.

Its probably just a bad picture but the bottom of your phone looked like it was dropped.

kinda see what you mean where the crack is looks like scuff marks
Just noticed as well today mine has THE same crack through the mic on bottom of phone and also on top of phone through infrared sensor. It's a known and not isolated problem among many G3 owners across the globe. Google it.
No scuffs. Just the way it came out. This really sucks.
