Has anyone been able to locate the metal frame? I know there's some replacement backs available on eBay but I'm also looking for the silver frame to fully convert my midnight blue model to the white model

Im looking for the same thing! No luck so far. I'll be sure to let you know if I find any thing.
Google "remove color from anodized aluminum".
Looks like greased lightning could work to take off the coloring.

I don't think it will be easy. If you looak at the frame on this photo https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/N4sjXwcb2YZIVVj6.huge you will see there a few plastic things attached to the frame.
These guys are apparently selling both frames, but I have found mixed reviews from this provider.

Does anyone know of any other provider?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/251774488145?var=550699842251 these guys do for $40 and have both colors.
Anyone know how hard this would be to replace? I was thinking about buying one from that ebay link for $40. Has anyone done this before?

lol, I was about to say the same thing. I've looked at it on there. Was just curious if anyone has tried it.

Is it possible that nobody of you scratched the pda?
Have you seen this?

I've got this on my TP2:
http://www.boxwave.com/products/activecase/active-case-htc-touch-pro2_3552.htm
Works very nicely, lets you slide out the kbd, press buttons etc etc. Oh and it protects from scratches.

this is how my tp2 looks i got from my provider ... i need to source me one as mine sadly had a bit of a runin with the pavement so now it is horribly scratched ...
i like the black case verizon it think it is housing...
So I somehow managed to shatter the rear camera lens cover glass thing (sorry I don't know the technical term which maybe part of the issue) and I saw on youtube its very easy to replace. The only problem is all the replacements I find ship from hong kong and I'd like to know if any one has a website that ships from the us thay sells galaxy parts thay may have the camera piece I'm looking for. Thanks for your help.
Why not just ship it from HK?

Because I'd rather not wait 2 to 3 weeks. I will if that's the only option but if I can find something quicker I'd like to use that one.

Mind posting this on my original post? Thanks and hopefully I hear back from UAG about their design flaw soon!
Nice case protection...
However, not the best clear case imho. Too much going on with the backing -- between the Motorola logo dimple, UAG, and the Nexus logo. It's just very cluttered with overlapping branding.

I got an email back from UAG that said they are working with their design team on a refresh that won't cause it. I just hope they replace mine after they get it fixed.

Take off the silver UAG....then it looks great!

thanks for the video.
hope they will make full black one.
transparent case looks awful for me.
also, really dislike that buttons don't have full cover by case; for galaxy s4 uag case was made in full black and with full coverage.
I have some serious issues when I use the flash with the UAG case. It looks like I am in a smokey bar. Photos without flash come out excellent. I use camera fv-5. Hopefully if and when they get the problem corrected they can help exchange/replace mine. I have had really good luck with UAG cases in the past. Thank you for the video review.

Just got this case on Friday, I think it's awesome. It does make the phone bigger, of course, but I would rather have a case than a broken Nexus 6. I think it looks great!
Anyone yet removing the silver UAG letters?
Anyone find a good place to buy a replacement battery?
I found this has anyone every bought from these guys before?

I know that I've only started this thread in advance so that once the device comes in people could post their homescreen.
Almost all the "Post your Homescreen" threads are started before the device goes on sale.
Hope this clears your doubt.
