I am a kickstarter backer on this, got the Kickstarter Green edition after they canceled my double order special. It looks really great, but not sure if it will work with cases or not so I may use ot on my tablet.
backed.
Thanks for sharing.
Aside from helping the idea come to fruition, what are the benefits of backing rather than just waiting for it to be produced and sold

well, if you go to the FAQ section on the page, you will see that they say it works with all kind of cases :good:
Also, I backed this on day one and got the early "bear" special, then pledged for the double order when they offered it, when it got cancelled I had already lost my early bear special position

You can simply back it for a few bucks or actually back it at a funding level that gets you one.

From my experience, when you back a project, you get the product for 1/2 - 2/3 the final retail price, and you get the product months before it's available for the masses.
There is another project that I would like to support JUICES+ cables, but they are microUSB 2.0, if they were offering microUSB 3.0 I would be more inclined and I do realize that The GN3 is the first smartphone that I am aware of to offer a microUSB 3.0 port so its not rolling out big time yet.

I don't really think this cable is necessary, my $1 cable does the job quite well for me. If they had shown that the cable offered unique features other than its looks, maybe I would pledge.
Sounds neat, I hope they'll have one that extends out a bit as an option. My phone's case would make this a bit harder to use.
Thanks for shearing that is awesome just backed it

agree.. i love my prime.. its the best android tablet out there right now. the build is the best out of any tablet.
the honeycomb bugs are still there, they are 10x better with the quad core and less noticeable. all comes down to ICS.
if was to sit in my closet with the lights off while my tab boots i could see a light bleed, good thing i don't use my tablet ever in the closet with my lights off. so i'm good with that.
Had the original Transformer as well as a whole host of other tablets. I still say this concept of the detachable hard dock is the most productive I've ever had. The added battery life and a mouse make it feel like an honest laptop replacement. In terms of comparing the new and old Prime, the new one has some obvious advantages in terms of size I really like the weight of it. I do agree with those who said it is a little harder to hold, the metal makes it a little more slick. When I have been using it as a reading tablet for a period of time it does matter
Flaws... well, my GPS doesn't work. I don't know that I care, but since I paid for it I want it to work. Since I have the Galaxy Nexus I realy like ICS, so I hope like hell we get it soon. THe camera facing you isn't great, but oh well. And docked it is definately top heavy and prone to tip. They should have distributed the weight a little more evenly.
Do I like it a lot? Yes! Do I love it? Not yet, but I have a feeling I will
Finally got mine and so far, I'm loving it. Love the weight. Zippy, no lag. GPS doesn't work, but I'm not terribly concerned with that at the moment. Everyone here at work is Ohhh-ing and Ahhh-ing.
My biggest gripe right now is that "everything" seems to be backordered. Waiting for a case and the dock.

B&H had the case in stock and it will be here tomorow.
I love everything about the TP. I've seen no lag whatsoever. The games look awesome. I plugged in the Hdmi cable and played shadowgun on my plasma tv and it looked great. The bluetooth controller from Gamestop is pretty slick also. I personally think it flies on the Internet. Page transitions are very fluid. I've read some negative comments about it's speaker but the one that it does have sounds great.

Mine is nearly flawless, and I am glad I made my purchase decision. The very few issues I have with it are due to apps stability.

that's not ironic, and I dont have any bias towards the Prime as I don't have mine yet (will by next Tuesday) so I can't judge the device negatively or positively.
But ever since I saw that word posted on this board I couldn't help but see how frequently many here are actively looking for information to fit their needs. Its an easy way to set yourself up for disappointment at worst, or be pleasantly surprised if underestimate it.

actually this thread doesn't. its more of the majority of negative threads/comments being thrown around lately. based on that definition from wiki. this tread is good and needed although there's a similar one called the positive transformer thread.
to the OP, I think from my various posts, lol, you can see that I love my device. it has been performing great and has no issues I've noticed, so far. this is way better than my Ipad all around. can't wait till developement starts, ICS, and more tegra3 games being released. this purchase was more than worth the money. I'm so glad that I didn't let the negativity, before and after release, deter me away from this device. especially since its performing so well for me right now. definitely is the best tablet out now, by far and will more than likely be that way for at least the next 4-6 months.

if you want a great volume boost to the already great sound get volume+. there's a thread on it in themes and apps section. I bit the bullet and got it last night. I confirmed the major increase in volume level with a decibel reader. it consistently showed increase in volume/decibels with speaker mod on. it ridiculous how much more louder and bass output this thing has now. and the sound was already great before. this just makes it even better. check out the thread.
lol theres a few haters on this thread eh? i just don't get why people say anything, it doesn't affect you. I guess they want to show off there e-peen.

My beloved prime after it was catapulted by my 10 month baby across the room (yeah, she's that strong, we call her Yetti behind her back).
Surprisingly enough, the bad mammajamma is still fully functioning (minus the fact that swiping your finger across those cracks will draw blood, the darn thing is razor-sharp).
Think I can RMA? (The prime, not Yetti)
I tried to nandroid-restore it, but it's still cracked, I'll write a *****en email to the dev with a feature request, "Please make option to restore broken screen or else I'll give you 1 star".
oh, and it made my GPS super-awesome now! I can see 4000+ sats now, some of them I can pick right through earth when they are right below me.
Yeah, no, it's a bummer, I wanted to lock my self in the bathroom and weep like a 6 years old girl who's Pony got hit by a truck.
I'm picking donation for a new TF700, tax exempt.

You could always ebay your Yetti ... i often think about the same.
That just hurts me from looking at it. If you can't scrap it for parts do you think a screen protector would prevent your fingers from getting cuts? If your into programing you can turn it into a test tablet for running and tinkering roms/apps.
Sorry man.

I was a bit Leary buying from them at first, as I am from most online retailers, but with these folks, I've been treated beyond good at every turn.
Top notch customer service, and fast delivery at very fair prices.
One note, you are buying from an international retailer based in China....But
They Fedex direct ship, and never miss a beat.
I continue to use and refer them, and prices for parts are sweet as well....g
I have had great experience with tvmall.com
Why not open your old phone and 'borrow' a screw? It works for the Army. The Supply seargent had a technical name for it. Anyone?
hi, you can maybe try getting a screw from another device your not using any more or you can look for one in an electronics store. i think it would be pretty hard to find just one small screw online.

Anyway, is it "I'm pretty, badass"? I wasn't sure about your bio.
At first glance I fell in love with this device. Its sleek, has an amazing screen, beautiful design and very fast. Also has a okay camera (prefer my s3 way more). So whats not to love? Well after 9 days and mixing it up between devices my G now has a dead pixel, shuts off and is sluggish. I have no idea why because the phone has never been dropped or exposed to any kid of water. So needless to say I called AT&T and because I am within my 14 day period they are exchanging it even for a New Titanium Galaxy Note 2. Really wish it worked out, loved the phone. So you can catch me me back in the sammy forums for now, still might get another OG.

No matter how good of quality a device is known for... there is always a bad batch that comes off the assembly line.
This applies to cars, phones, electronics, any consumer product...

Definitely not "jeleous" about your English vocabulary.
Have fun in the Samsung forums with your ohsoridiculous amount of money. Hope you find less things to complain about with the Note 2 instead of making pointless posts on their subforum as well.
So they replaced a $100 contract phone with a $300 contract phone? Also, not jealous about the devices you have and have had as well as on your nuts about it, as it was a simple statement, that was a nervous assumption on your own, because you're in a corner defending yourself. I'm having fun feeding you as well, due to you being an obvious troll since you've provided nothing informative by making this topic.

Love the phone, but I swear I'm gonna wait next time around. So far, being an early adopter has brought:
-Cases that don't fit
-Screen protectors that don't stick, or hamper the device
-A mess of cables
-Chargers that won't charge, or worse could fry something
Not to mention it's proven moot to order on day one in hopes you'll get the device earlier. That could change but still, whatever. That 820 though. Two times the power two times the efficiency

I know! Makes me want to wait! Probably won't have it in a phone till spring but in November maybe a nexus 6P 2016(or maybe 6P2? Or 6Q?)?

Not to mention it's proven moot to order on day one in hopes you'll get the device earlier. That could change but still, whatever. That 820 though. Two times the power two times the efficiency

That's the whole idea of being an early adopter. Taking a risk. Being an early adopter doesn't guarantee you will get a perfect product everytime. I enjoy the risk, and if it doesn't work out, my credit card company ensures i get my money back.
So please stop calling yourself an early adopter if you cannot accept the risk, especially with your issues that involve 3rd party accessories and not the phone itself.
I've purchased every Nexus phone at launch and a few tablets. I've never had a "bad" device or filed a RMA. Either I'm really, really lucky or I don't get worked up about very minor things...

I must have a Nexus preorder 'rush' every year, learning the device challenge and flashing asap on XDA! Everything thing has worked out well so far.
Bought the clear case from Google and it fits perfect. Got a illumishield screen protector off eBay and again, fits perfect.
ordered screen protector off amazon oct 30th and shipped then and still hasnt arrived. ordered skinomi yesterday or day before and be here by monday. cant use the phone until i got that on it

It's always the vocal ones that have something bad to say against the nexus program. I've never had any problem with any of the nexus purchases i've made. The more vocal ones on the forums complain about the minor things like you said, yellow screen, pink screen, etc etc. Most of the complains are user error or "OCD" problems.
My OP was partially in jest.... Don't mean to complain.

Seriously though this doesn't effect me much.
- Don't like cases. Never have. Have yet to break a screen on a phone in the last 6 years or so. I'm gentle.
- Never use a screen protector either. I did tests in school to show most screen protectors actually increase the chances of your screen shattering as opposed to not having one on. They are good for keeping your screen scratch free but we have Gorilla Glass 4 here people.
- Mess of cables. Well this won't end anytime soon. I have duffel bags full of wires and chargers. So yes another added charger type is a pain, but i'm loving the charge time compared to my Note 4 Fast Charging.
- Uh ok then. Mines good.

Wow, that the longest empty post I've ever seen!
Funny thing. The vast majority use cases, screen protectors, and are somewhat annoyed at the mess that is aftermarket USB C.

An empty post? Ridic. I couldn't have said it better myself. Haters gonna hate. Best phone I ever got on day 2 order. But it's becoming a chore to negate the detractors. Are any of them shills? I certainly hope that is not the case. Although I did read that they are paid to trash other devices. Could not be right?

Oh lord...please stop.
No ones hating. He simply stated that the frustration of not being able to buy fully functioning accessories for a brand new flagship device has him contemplating waiting for things to be stable before making a purchase next time.
No ones hating. It's a valid frustration. Not bring able to protect your device, charge it in the car etc. He's not blaming the device. He didn't say he doesn't like it. He simply said he might wait for the dust to settle next time...
The conspiracy theories of members actually being rival manufacturers shill posters posting these generally vague negatives are just ridiculous. Anytime someone has a gripe, complaint, or problem people start defending the phone like its their deceased brother that the have to protect their legacy at any cost. It's so out of hand...
And once again this just goes to show what happens when people get a development device and want accessories right away. You will find they make few things for devices like this. You will find far better cases, cords and screen protectors for mainstream devices.
Sorry, I have to disagree with that.
Nexus isn't a development device anymore. When they're advertising them on hulu commercials while streaming "The Voice", they've officially relinquished the development device title. At least as the primary target audience.
These nexii are aimed at everyone now. They're not the crude, buggy dark Android devices of the past. They're the clean Android showcase, and they're designed for everyone.
Again though, I'm not blaming Google for anything. It's frustrating that these 3rd party companies rush what are advertised as pricey. Quality items. OPs main point was that he might want to wait next time.for the dust to settle before purchasing a device, as to not deal with shoddy out of spec items.

The nexus will always be mainly a development device. Other wise things like Root and unlocking the bootloader would be much harder. Even commercials target a a group of people. Couldnt really say as I have never even seen a commercial for it but that could be the simple fact that I dont watch commercials at all. I mean really look at it. What devices are shown at Google I/O which is a developers conference. Not mainstream devices, no flagships just the nexus devices. Their main target has always been developers. yes they may target the average joe but they are the secondary targets at best.
