New GNex Owner - Getting CLN - Thoughts?

[billyk]

Excellent advise guys - thanks again!

I did some deep research and two other cases also surfaced to the top of my list:

- Diztronic case
- Cruzerlite Androidified A2

I'll add SSHGuru's suggestion to that list. Thanks!

Interestingly, for those that want a pouch case, and I fully appreciate your input that I might want to go "naked" once I have the GNex, there are very few good options. Sena, a great case maker, makes a beautiful pouch, but they pulled it from the market b/c it applies pressure to the on/off button.

A lot of GNexer's like this el-cheapo case:
OEM Neoprene Pouch Case For Samsung Nexus S / Galaxy S i9000 / S8530 Wave2 | eBay

Some GNexers found their way to this interesting pouch:
Smartphone Suede Jacket Cases - Droid X - Droid Incredible - HTC EVO - Google Nexus One - Google Android G1 Case - BlackBerry Bold Case - BlackBerry Curve Case - Samsung Instinct Case - LG Dare Case - Sony Ericsson Xperia - Nokia - suede sleeve - Ult

I've got my fingers crossed for the delivery of my new GNex tomorrow. Here's hopin' that it's right the first time.

In customer care, I've heard the horror stories of clnrs. Ones that ship and are missing volume keys, the screen falls off immediately, or there is visible glue from a poor repair job. Stuff like that. Its okay when you keep sending it in until you get a good one, but sometimes you can get a bad agent who will say that your issue is an insurance issue, even if you received it like that. And once its noted in your account it makes it really hard to pressure an agent to get a decent replacement. But then again I doubt I ever got calls from people with good clnrs, just the ones with issues

I have definitely been fortunate with CLNR's before. Have gotten maybe a half dozen of them and had not an issue (knocks on wood and crosses fingers just in case I need to get one again).

Got it.

Physically: absolutely perfect. Beautiful!! It was manufactured less than 4 weeks ago!

Functionally: absolutely perfect - so far!

This phone is really a generation (or more) beyond the Bionic.

Thanks for the input on this thread. I'll be back with questions - I am sure.

Yea, Gingerbread seems pretty old these days!

*#*#786#*#* recondition status = "No".

Yesssssss!

I got a refurb to replace my launch day gnex. According to the *#*# code it is not a refurb. I don't know if I trust the result of this code. I haven't seen anyone that had a yes result. But I may have missed it.

I use a diztronic matte case. The phone is way too slippery for me. I had a DX that I ran naked, but I just can't hold on to this one. The cruzer might interest me without the Andy on the back, but I really do like the diz. I actually have 2 because I wanted the rev 3 version. Tried it, liked it, sent an email and they replaced my rev 1 case no problem. I guess that means I have 3 of them .

kegerino:
I've got a distronic case on the way. Great reviews on it. I agree that the cruzer looks good, but also couldn't get past the image on the back.
