Different Backplate(s)? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Anyone know of any backplates for the Galaxy Nexus, besides the laser etched ones? I'm getting sort of sick of the bumpy back that comes with it, especially after seeing my friend's brushed aluminum backplate for his GS3.
Any love for the G-Nex!?

Aluminum backplates cut out gps and wifi signal from what I've heard so I wouldn't recommend it. They're easily available on eBay.

There are a special edition back cover from Google and another from Docomo (Japan). Both look very nice!

Try taking it off and putting it back on. Start by inserting the bottom part first, then run your fingers up the sides to snap in the rest of the cover. Make your way to the top until all is snapped in.

I also have issues with the back plate. The lower left corner won't fit in! But the plastic didn't brake there, so I'm not sure if I need to replace it or not. Someone knows this problem?

What happened to mine was the little tab that slides in was pushed together. I needed to put something small in between that and move it back to the right position

Here it is. Just make sure to ask the seller that you want the one with the "Galaxy Nexus" printed on the back instead of "Google" because he sells different ones.

[Pic-Heavy] Galaxy Nexus Custom Paint Job

Hey guys I finished painting my Gnex and thought i'd post pictures!
I used automotive grade Duplicolor adhesion promoter and colors.
I will probably be offering custom paint jobs as a service. Still have to work out the details.
Back and housing are a metal with flakes blue and buttons are a glossy black.
All the buttons work perfectly, no sticky feeling. Paint also bends and doesn't crack - see last pic.

I have the Gnex from Sprint. I couldn't find any info on disassembling the Sprint version (all are manufactured differently) However, it was pretty much the same as the Verizon version. It took a little bit of effort to pry the screen away from the housing, but it was fairly simple, only 6 small Phillips screws. The hardest part was removing the quick charge gold pins. They were too small to mask so I had to remove them. There was a small plastic piece holding them all in place. Very gently, I was able to pry it off. I'd imagine if you break the little pins holding it on, it would be a simple super glue fix. Other than that, easiest phone to take apart so far.

Just out of curiosity how come you didn't paint the inside of the housing?

Usually you want to avoid painting things that move. In this case the tabs from the back would scratch the inside. The paint creates a ridge which may not allow things to reconnect properly. Same goes for the battery slot, if you paint in there, the tabs that slide to fit the battery right might be too tight and it wont fit.
Plus no one looks under there

Link to pics is there lol. Last link is an imageshack slideshow. Just to note in image 5 the back looks sparkly, it is not it is smooth white like the front.
We have some nice red paint in work and i'm planning on extenuating the front and back HTC logos by filling them in red.

I've got the V701. it is an cool idea, because it protects the screen and you can stand up the phone. but if you want to type a message or do something else on your screen, it doesn't feel comfortible in your hand because it is too mutch and i've got big hands
so everytime i do more with my hox i pull it out of the case because its nicer to hold the naked phone

Just got mine today and it looks lovely goes well with the white HOX. The microfiber screen flap is not that bad at all its a light grey and looks well. The combination of white, black and grey looks good.
It feels like and oozes in class.
Comes with a screen protector as well slightly small fit the sp but bright and clear.
Overall I love this case will see how it fares.

Its going to get finished, I just got set back a little. The paint is currently drying and I should be able to get the clear on it in a few hours. Here is what happened to it, if you look at the bottom you can see the finish looks terrible.
Yeah, I see that.
Can't wait to see what it will look like after it's finished.
Doesn't it just take like 10 minutes to replace that part? Because if it's not very difficult and time consuming, I'd probably buy a painted one from you.
I like the look.

Sorry, I haven't had a chance to replace the digitizer yet, the paint is done. When I grab a new digitizer I will throw up some pictures.
Bump for progress... I may try this for my gf with her tbolt. She likes purple, maybe a nice metallic dark purple...

Oil Slick on Nexus Logo

Anyone else have this problem? It seems like chemicals from the logo sips into the rubbery back of this device.

Mine has it too. I think it's excess glue from inserting the hard plastic letters. they squirt glue in the depressions and the push in the letters. the extra glue is forced out and wiped off. Too much glue is better than not enough.

That's way too much...you should get it replaced....
I think there something on it making the oils from my skin stick to it. I don't remember it looking like that a few days ago.
It's going into a poetic revolution case so I could care less. If a local staples gets a 32 gig in I'll use it as a excuse tho

The one I had before I exchange it has this too. I didn't notice it being there when I first got it, so it seems this develops over use and having your fingers pressing it together.
I did think that wiping it with my shirt help, but it never did go completely away.

Same with mine though yours is a little worse. I also have a slightly flaky touch screen. Makes typing annoying. Plan on swapping, but hopefully LTE will hit first.

That's how mine looked at first but now it looks the way it does.
I can kinda see the square outline around the "nexus" on yours to. That was the only thing I noticed on day one.
