My WHITE Sprint Galaxy Nexus :D - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Yes, this is my white galaxy nexus. It is not painted or using a skin, it is the GSM white housing installed on a Sprint Nexus. After seeing the white version of the galaxy nexus, I just knew I needed one. Now this one is a bit of a hack job as I was just learning what would be necessary, and it took some pretty heavy modification, but as soon as I get a little more time and spare change I will be buying one more housing to do a cleaner job. Until I start the cleaner modification, I will be perfecting the fit on this one so I can have the best end result possible. As of this time I will not be doing a how-to as much of a hack job as it is, but when doing the cleaner conversion I plan to take some pictures to help some of you other daring DIY'ers out there. This post is just to share/show off my white galaxy nexus haha, and to show that it can be done! And now, a few pictures of my baby:

amazing wish my gnex was white

eww!

nice!

Looks kinda cool, but reminds me of some old iOS device or something. :/

You should get the Fantom glass screen protector in white to make the front white too. Personally I can't stand white phones with black faces. But that's just me.

Wish i could do that too, would love to have my Nexus in white...

I so totally wanna do with the my Sprint LTE Galaxy Nexus. Would have to ditch my otterbox though. Awesome work!!

I like it, but wouldn't care for the dirty factor it might take on. I prefer colors that hide blemishes and what not.

dude, I hate You.. I want Your phone now...

Would you care to elaborate on how you had to modify the housing?

Great!

Alright. That will definetly make me buy it. I like darker backgrounds less battery drain and is easier on eyes. Thanks for taking it into consideration.

Gelaskins review

Review for "Gelaskins Enamored Owl Samsung Galaxy S III "
Hellur everyone, as you can see the gelaskin is pretty much a sticker that goes onto the body of your phone, be aware that with the gelaskins you dont get a screen protector so youll have to custom cut your own.
It took me at least 45 minutes to put this on, i dont have any fingernails so it was rough to apply it to the phone correctly
But all in all it smooths out easily and looks freaking awesome. Gives your phone a unique look and feeling.
I would rate this higher than any other phone skin, gelaskins customer service is also pretty reliable and awesome. Great place to get a phone or tablet skin.

I've always wondered about these. How do you view your content/screen through this? All I see is the design. Doesn't that get annoying?

The design is just a wallpaper matching the skin. Nothing is covering the display.
The skin is 3 parts:
The back skin
The front-top skin covering the earphone
The front-bottom skin covering the softkeys/home button
That's correct. Gelaskins let's you download the matching wallpaper with the phone skin. Pretty awesome, make sure you pick a design you wont get sick of.

Big thanks to the guys at Gruver Concept.

For those of you who don't know who they are, they lazer etch preset or custom images on the backplate (battery door) of the Galaxy Nexus.
Not only did I receive it within a week of them having shipped it (they reside in the States, I'm from Canada), but they also sent it marked as a gift, meaning I didn't have to pay duty.
This was the end result:

$48 with shipping, not too bad a price really for it being custom-designed and all. I'll do it again for the next nexus phone as well.

haha! I know they will probably be available soon! The white ones painted are from this one company on eBay. While they are painted, they sure do look great! Not sure it will last long though

The nic epar tof this device is how large the back cover is. It covers the entire back of the device rather than just having a small battery door.
So you can get one of the new colored back covers an dsnap it on in 2 seconds to totally change the look of the phone. (Provided the new colored back goes well with the old colored front you have. Fortuantely just about everything goes with white and grey.)

Nice Info.... Now can change my Samsung handset. Lovely colors........
Those all look really cool.
I don't understand why manufactures don't make different colors available in the first place. It's just a tiny bit of plastic under the front glass and on the back, and it would probably drive sales for people who are on the edge of a purchase. I would think this would be a strong selling point.

Request an Urban Armor Gear case for the Nexus 5

Let's make sure that our voices are heard this time. A lot of people wanted them to make a Nexus 4 case but they didn't because no one wrote to them and showed an interest in the Nexus devices. There were a lot of requests on XDA-Developers and various other hardware forums but this time we need to write to them and show them that there's an interest.
Here's one of their industrial looking HTC One cases. Looks good AND protects your device.

Will do!
FB and Tweeted them.
Already have a case but can't hurt to try to improve accessory variety for this community.
Great to see some support. There's a lot more talk about the Nexus 5 on their pages now than there was yesterday.
I've had one of these for my s3 and now note 2. Would definitely love to see one for my nexus 5.
