I got this TPU case. Good reviews over on XDA + I've come to prefer covered buttons because I'm cooking a lot so it keeps my buttons from getting sticky.

I have another package that was at Hodgkins one day earlier than the nexus and it was in Seattle this morning so it better at least be in Seattle by tomorrow.

I finally got mine today (took 16 business days to arrive)
I got the matte black.

The fitment on the left side is loose. It's bulging, so when i hold it, it pops in...and when I let go, it pops out. This is a common issue with the first production run of these cases, and after a quick email to them, they're sending me a revised case. For now, I tightened up the fitment by bending the edge inwards.

The matte black is also a fingerprint magnet. I'm not sure if this is the case for all the matte colours. I hear white doesn't show fingerprints, but it's white, so everything else will dirty it.

Honestly, I like the Ringke case better than the LG Bumper. The bumper just makes the phone too thick and wide. And the raised edges on the front and back make it awkward to hold.

Same issues with the matte blue, complete with the fingerprint magnet issue.

I emailed Ringke support about the issues with the case and will see what they say. My main concern with the left side is that the phone is very easy to pop out on that side. The right side by the power toggle is snug and firmly held in. The left side on the volume rocker side, I can pop the phone out with barely any effort.

We'll see what Ringke says, but at this point, I'm not impressed and may just put my S-Line TPU case back on until I get my Nillken leather cover case :p

Alatar 12-17-2012 07:19 PM

So, I took the case off, and tried flexing/bending the left side in a bit to see if I could snug it up. It now holds the phone firmly, and doesn't pop/snap or come off.

It's almost like it just needs to reach/grip the side of the phone better, but needs that extra micron of bend to do so. The fit still isn't 100%, I can still see minute gaps along both sides, but it's holding the phone firmly, at the very least.

We'll see if it holds over the next day or two...

Previous nexus phones were sold at carrier stores though, this is Google handling their own customers now.

I feel like calling just to complain. Just because i can..

BaoTurbo 12-18-2012 11:26 AM

Maybe it's their scheme to increase popularity...reduce supply and increase demand. LOOOL I'm just making things up :troll:

I did, all the folks are trained to send you to a "specialist"
the reply I got was unfortunately the device is backordered
I asked for free shipping, they said, the device will arrive, but I will escalate your issue to management
FUCKING LAME
