[Q] How to clean official bumper? - Nexus 5 Accessories

Hey all. I own a bright yellow official bumper case, and my new wool coat stained it while in the pockets. First off, costs getting cleaned to prevent any more dye staining. Second, I've tried water, oxyclean and scrubbing, but I can't get the stains off the case. Has anyone had to remove ink stains from the bumper before successfully?

You can't, but contact google about a warranty return. I didn't need to ship mine back to get a refund.
I ordered a 99 cent quicksand case from ebay while awaiting the elusive LG hardshell case which apparently exists.

Thanks. I contacted Google and they're refunding me!

When was your order? Do they have any limited warranty period for the case?

They have a special return policy for the holidays at the moment. Anything ordered between November 26th and December 25th can be returned up thru January 12th. I had placed my order on November 27th

Mine was order during the launch day together with the phone. Guess that my order might be too early but I'll just send them an email and try. Does anyone had any success return recently for the bumper case which order is as early as mine?

They were looking into exchanging until I decided to go for the full refund. Even with a refund, you can just purchase a different one and keep the old one.

There really is no way to clean the hull ?
I personally have a gray, its edges are very dirty.
I buy the day out in France is there a way to walk the warranty or not ?

Hi there. May I know how did you get them to give you a refund? what did you say to them? I called them and mentioned that it got stained with ink and I am very unhappy with the product and they ask me to call LG. =(

It's not stained with ink. These cases stain from the dyes in your pockets transferring to the case.
I called and told Google my case was starting to discolor around the edges and received a refund.

I was refunded for my grey case as it stained inside a day. They didn't argue at all, refunded and told me to keep the case. Pity only the black bumper would actually be usable for real world usage.

Hi everyone. Thanks for responding to my distress. I placed my order for the case on Nov 27 2013. Do u think I could still get a refund now? I saw some of u mentioning abt a one year warranty. I bought the phone and case on separate transaction from Google play.

I was able to contact their customer support and get a refund in the span of about 30 min, which is nice since it has been getting pretty noticable recently. It is to bad as i like the colored cases a lot. Maybe ill just use this one getting discolored for a few months then have a bright red one again in 3-5 months.

Yes, call them or better yet use the website and let them call you back. Just tell them what happened and that the case started to stain and has become unusable and unsightly that while you would expect a light coloured TPU case to get dirty eventually that this case is clearly not fit for purpose as it stained so soon. That the case is at a premium price and that as a result you would expect a premium product which you clearly do not have...they will give you a refund or exchange...if you want/like the black go for that, I dont think any of the others will hold their colour...so if you dont like the black - take the money and run.

Ruggedized battery cover

Ok so I was asked to update this post. Some of the information found throughout the thread is below:
The battery cover can be found at: cnn.cn
(thank you NoNameAtAll from this post)
The cnn.cn part is just the case, no retail packaging (ie. no media dock adapter.)
jjwatmyself in post says that you remove the insert in the car dock and it will fit the atrix with the battery cover.
digital.aaron in post has some pictures with the cover on the phone.
jjwatmyself has some pictures here.
digital.aaron says in this post: it's very different from Otterbox's rubber. It hasn't picked up any fuzz from my pocket, and I've got on fleece sweatpants. Used to be a nightmare for my 'Box'd iPhone.
Some problems people were are having, the sides are flimsy (you get used to this) and the different colors seem to have different textures.
=============OLD POST===========================
I bought the atrix from AT&T and I ordered a ruggedized battery cover from some website for $30 w/ shipping. My question is as I have neither yet, does anyone have the cover and is it good? Does it feel like it will protect the phone a bit and help hold the phone in the hand?

I'd be interested in this too. Asked a while back and it seemed no one has tried them, because there were no responses. I don't want to spend $30 on one if it feels cheap or doesn't fit right

Well, if no one else has tried I already ordered it so when I get both phone and cover in I will update this thread. It might be a while as I am stationed in Japan so my mom will be sending me the phone Tuesday or Wednesday and it may take a week or two to get here.
oh by the way I ordered mine from After market Cellular. Anyone have any dealings with them, are they honest?
This is the specific one I bought:
http://www.aftermarketcellular.com/ic/89490N.html
I've been looking at one of these batter covers but several sites that I have checked show an estimated ship date or out of stock. Have you received a shipping confirmation for the battery cover yet?
These are rubberized battery covers and thus replace the stock plastic cover. They are from Motorola and are rumored to be out about April 15th. This is why several places show "out of stock", because they aren't out yet.
I have not recieved a shipping confermation, but the store was not showing them as out of stock r estimated shipping date. Now that a320ca said they are nto supposed to be out until the 15th I am worried that the store is a sham because it never told me that.
FYI, I just called them and they said they are out of stock of the Blue one. She asked if I wanted her to check stock on the Green one but I already knew what the answer would be. Store doesn't appear to be a sham but then again, you might want to look into your order if are expecting it sooner than later.
I hope there will be pictures of the cover when people get them. I an intensely eyeballing the green one.
I've also ordered one, from 123cellsupply.com.
I don't have a shipping confirmation yet, either. I've put in several emails to find out the status, but no response yet.
Does the ruggedized battery cover wrap around the front at all, to provide a small protective lip around the screen?
Has anyone actually seen one of these in person?
These are in stock in my local bell store for 29.95. I might consider getting one of these

Really? Where's your local Bell? In the GVA by any chance? I ordered one from Bell online, because it didn't seem like there were any in stock in the Bell stores here in Vancouver... Admittedly, I didn't try very hard to find them.
But my order is still pending, turns out they're out of stock online...

Yes it wraps around the entire phone
They do look nice.... but to be honest, if it's actually silicon.... i dunno if i'd want it. That's basically my issue with the Otterbox cases. That outside cover attracts dust from alternate dimensions of your pocket. I can't imagine what the rugged battery cover might look like if it's the same material.
i want!! thats simply awesome. i wish amazon had green dangit

Sweet looking official accessories!

Stumbled over this a few minutes ago. They all look pretty amazing IMHO and it's kinda interesting that HTC will be shipping an external battery. Hope that's not an indication of poor HTC One battery life.
Check it out!

maybe im wrong, but i would guess that it's unlikely there will be any bumpers from main manufacturers considering the phone is very thin at the edges and also the fact that it gets narrower at the edges (ie. not constant thickness)
There doesn't seem to be any official pouch at the moment which is unfortunate. I like my phone to be nude when I use it but be protected in my pocket.

Bro, check on http://www.pdair.com they sell high quality leather pouches. I'm like you and I like my phone to be naked and only be covered by a pouch so that people can see the device I have (I know, it sounds kind of egocentric) but also, I like to see my phone as it is, without anything covering it except the screen protector
The products are in production and expected to be released soon, I will definetly get one from them
I'm really loving that HTC is putting out their own accessories as well, I'm personally getting the flip case.
I never use cases for usual usage, but I'd like to have a kickstand since I plan on also using this for a very tiny but very portable working/entertaining interface. Like I usually jot down a few notes about appointments and lectures, as well as I like watching stuff on my phone

Fix broken back cover - first attemt with superglue failed

Hi.
The back cover of my GNex is broken. From the camera to the end of the cover a crack of about 1 cm.
Can you tell me how to fix this without buying a new one? An attemt with superglue already failed, it cracked again at the same spot.

A piece of plastic that thin does not have enough surface for glue to do its magic. You would need something that adheres to both sides then holds them together like tape but that would be ugly. But of you look on eBay they are literally a couple bucks. Is it a stock cover or the extended? I have an extra stock back i will send it to you for free. Let me no.

A lot of people had issues with that cover scratching the back of their phone, maybe they changed the desing a li'l bit to fix this. I Have it and my phone is scratch free. Lucky Me I guess????
Ive had issue with those stains too, what pissed me off is this case also made a faint scratch on the top right body part (near front camera lens). Anyway, anybody have ideas on how to remove this scratch mark??
Yes, I've tried to erase it. Won't come off. Also tried soap and water, alcohol... no results. This is frustrating, my phone looks so old.
I've noticed it is not compatible with skins or more importantly (and practical), screen protectors.
It only works with screen protectors if you cut them which is pretty hard to do. I stopped using mine because of this..

IMO Gorilla Glass is quite reliable, so I'd rather protect the body (which dents/scratches fairly easily) than the screen.
Also got the "Double Dip" case. Mine is exactly.. 2 days old and i already got alot of stains on top.
Tried everything to remove it, alcohol, industrial grade stain remover. nothing, i havent got the scratch problem but who knows that might turn up sooner or later....
Will resort into buying another TPU case or something, this is kinda frustrating none the less...

Portenzo Hardback case with Intellistand

Well my Hard-book Portenzo case with optional camera cutout and Intellistand arrived this morning. Have to say that the case is top quality and feels really sturdy.
Once again thanks to Portenzo for such an amazing case!
http://shop.portenzo.com/hardback-for-the-new-nexus-7/
Here are some pics
Even got a cool box drawing done by Lea who works in customer services.
Oh the pics above make it look like the case is a royal blue colour (damn flash).
It is really a "Dark linen blue" colour, here are some pics that are more accurate to the actual colour
Nice looking case, just don't really like how thick it looks when folded, and it's $54 shipped, too rich for my $260 device.

I have to say that I quite like the thickness as it is like holding a hardback book. Also the case feels very solid and I imagine it can withstand a few knocks.
Yeah it's not cheap, but it definately has a premium feel and is extremely well made.

How does it stay on there? Also seems like the edges would be a little vulnerable. I might get one of these for my lady.

It's got some sort of sticky grip tabs on it that hold the device in place.
You can check out the video I linked to see how it performs.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atSCZxbLg_E
I was abit worried about this when I read about it but this video assured me that it won't fall out or have problems keeping the device from moving about or coming out.
You might be right about the edges but the case is ever so slightly bigger than the Nexus7 so the edges of the device are covered so it would still offer some protection.
Do you have a wireless charger you could test?

How long did they take to make yours? I ordered mine back on August 8 and after contacting customer service, they stated that they hope to be done with my case by middle of next week.
I'm not sure if this is common, but the turn around times are terribly long.
I have an Orange one. I owned one on my OG N7 and loved it. The sticky tape never comes off. Owned it for months and never adjusted it or had to reapply. I don't have the intellistand. Mime has 2 strips of tape and the camera hole. I paid like $24+shipping for mine during their preorder sale.
Mines orange, yellow interior, and a red strap. The orange is more of a burnt orange, almost brownish. I like it.
Qi Charging works with it. I use my Samsung all the time.
Its a tad thicker then those Moko and Poetic Ultra cases (I have a white Moko). Both are close though. I'm using the moko for a week to see how I like it but I can already tell you the Portenzo feels more durable. The craftsmanship is great.

Yeah unfortunately they do get super busy during the first few weeks of a new product launch due to the demand.
They hand make every case and as far as I know they are only a company of about 10-12 workers.
Just be a little patient and I am sure you will get yours very soon.

Wrote that's a long time for a turnaround. I ordered mine on Aug 17th. What is your status on the website? Mine says awaiting shipment which in their FAQ means its being manufactured and should ship soon. What colors did u get? I got the Black outside dark green inside and a brown strap.

I got a BookCase with Black on the outside and light blue on the inside with the intellistand option.
My order has been on "Awaiting Shipment" for around 2 weeks now. Hopefully i will receive it by end of next week.

Yeah the band also blocks the camera hole when the case is shut but that is normal as portenzo designed it like that to limit the amount of dust that can get into the lens when the case is shut and also you can't use the camera when the case lid is shut anyway.
Opening up the case allows the camera lens to become unblocked.

How long did they take to make yours? I ordered mine back on August 8 and after contacting customer service, they stated that they hope to be done with my case by middle of next week.
I'm not sure if this is common, but the turn around times are terribly long.

It takes them usually a few weeks. They handmake everything on the case to order. Its a small shop. Everything is custom made. I ordered one for my nexus as soon as they was offered and mine was just send thusday so ill have it monday. Yes i bought one of the nicer ones around 120 paid. But its the best case u will ever own. You could put it on ur bookshelf and noone would know the difference. It will take drops and everything. Call me crazy but ill pay for a USA handmade case, made with care then a cheapass overseas made one that dont last a month. Ive seem some people wind up paying more for cases of cheap crap then they could have paid for 1 nice Portenzo. Check they website out and see how real cases are made. But all this is just opion also. This is my 2nd case. My first one lasted 2 Original Nexus and still was in beautiful condition.

Mine came a couple weeks ago. Love it. I got black outside with sky blue inside with dark blue elastic. My sister's order is still awaiting shipment. Definitely a nice case.

Does everyone just have the hardback style or did anyone get the bookcase? If you got the bookcase, have you found a wireless charger that works with it? Neither of mine are working on the samsung qi charger.....
