***Official Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release speculation thread**

OK, I just got word from my Verizon rep. They are so pumped about the Droid RAZR that they have come up with a new promotion starting tomorrow:

Buy a RAZR at regular price and get a Samsung Galaxy Nexus for free. (The ultimate disrespect shown to the Nexus)

/jk -- but I could see it happening with all the crap we've seen so far.

They must just throw it in the bag like the free samples at teavana they try to get rid of.

So it took some pictures of the TPU case on my nexus for you guys. I got the smoke color. It fits really well and keeps the slim feel, the only thing is the part that covers the volume buttons applies pressure to them so I found myself changing the volume just by touching it. I ended up cutting the volume key overlay out of the case and I have no more issues! :D

Thanks for the pics. I was still debating getting a case but after seeing your pics I'm pretty much convinced that I'll be happier with absolutely nothing touching the phone.

I've had no screen protector or case on my DINC for a while now and can't believe I ever started with them on. So much better with nothing and it has taken some pretty bad falls and suffers constant sneak attacks by my kids who use it as a toy phone.

hmm they do like nice n thin, are they rubbery? like can i slide it into a holster or it'll get all squished?

It is rubbery.. but it has firmness, or almost a little backbone to it.


I think I arrived late to this discussion. :thinking:

We've still got room for you to slide yours in too!

Ah yet it is rubbery, yet firm, yet with a little backbone.

Meldor, destroyer of worlds, shatterer of souls, the monster in the dream...

or LouAnne.

I could see myself going either way.


I hear LouAnne and think of the poor woman from Sons of Anarchy.

Huh? I play with mine all the time. Oh! You're talking about the Nexus :eek:


Thanks for the pm last night :)

My local corporate store said that there was no news and no release tomorrow. She said she would have heard about it. :(

Others, here, say yes. I'm hoping for the latter.

It's very strange some stores are saying it's going to be available tomorrow with total certainty and others say there is no way it's going to happen. I can understand some regions not getting stock at the same time, but still, there should be widespread communication to these stores about when they can sell the phone.

I, for one, would not be pleased if I walked into Steven's store tomorrow and the phone was for sale. There is a difference between lying and concealing information.
