Decided to see how the Nexus 6P's "visor" would look like in white / silver for the Frost / Aluminum models. I think it looks decent.

All of the sensors on the back are going to still be black btw, like with any white phone.

Can't hide them with white coating/stickers from Dbrand or Slickwraps? :silly:
I am just a newbie here with this technology.. What is a visor and how is it different from a case?

It's the black glossy bar surrounding the camera/sensors at the top. Google calls it the "Visor" (marketing term, I guess)
Wouldn't these block the laser focus?

and guess which one of those was more of a "bad ass"? just cause r-too survived multiple wars doesn't mean he can kick ass. that giant martian robot thing vaporized cities.

Cool but it needs to be clear for the autofocus laser.
I think it kind of actually looks better with the black visor.

Considering a skin but... safer with case.
actually, thats exactly what they did with the initial leaked renders @White visor: http://www.androidcentral.com/huawe...hows-rear-fingerprint-scanner-lg-nexus-5-2015
i'm anxious to see a teardown of this model. what is behind the glass? is the glass tinted/painted black or is there something against it that gives it the color?

The glass is clear, there's black underneath.

if that's the case - all of this hub-bub over what to cover it with is invalidated if we can just change the plate behind it. would be sweet if you could re-position the notification LED to illuminate the back panel.
I like the black bar and I'll embrace it. Went with the Frost to emphasize it. Besides, those chamferred edges on the Frost was just too sexy to pass up.

Did a quick job of laying down a piece of 3M Di-Noc on my phone. Will reapply as time permits. Thought I would share the results if any of you thought about doing the same.

Good idea. Which color did you use? Looks like gloss black, is that right? I'm sort of wondering whether the gloss red or the silver would look too crazy.
Edit: For those wondering - http://www.carbonfiberfilm.com/blog/3m-carbon-fiber-di-noc-now-available-in-7-different-colors/
I got one coming from XO Skins. Someone on here had it and it looked sweet. I would rather pay extra and have it pre-cut perfectly then mess around with cutting it myself not to mention I would have to buy the tape still anyway. This is the one I got here They also have them in a few other colors, it also covers the bottom half of the phone. Use code SPRINTXO at checkout gives you 30% off about a wash for shipping.
I ordered mine from phantomskinz.com

I used the black carbon fiber film. There is a roll of silver cf sitting on my workbench, will peel of the black in the morning and will take a pic in silver.

Will it interfere with the antenna reception?

I don't think it will interfere with the antennas. Its only a thin piece of vinyl printed with a cf design. Far less material compared to a tpu case or otterbox.
I just ordered one from xoskins.com. i found this discount code on line that worked SPRINTXO. it saved me a few bucks i think it was 30%
i know is preference but i can tell you that i returned the white version (after a week) and got the black version today because of the BLACK BORDERS around the phone. The black version DOES NOT HAVE IT. u might think because is black it does have borders and u can't see it because the bezel and borders are both black. This is not the case. the black bezel covers all around the screen, while the white bezel does not. it's noticeable both in direct sun light.
here is how a white version looks with black border, i tried to live with it and it was so annoying that i gave up on it.
I'm not a fan of white call me a phone racist

I'm taking a really close look at my black one and I'm pretty sure it has the exact same gap that just stands out more in the white edition
OP are you serious? I'm pretty sure all G2 phone have that border, its just the black phone would be obviously harder to notice.

True
I don't give a crap about this border, I am still going to get the white one. The black one does have a gap as well but it is just less noticeable because of the black bezel around it.
Wow. Good ol xda.
Just slap on a big and extremely chunky case that greatly overlaps the front bezel. Problem solved! Lol.
My friend picked up the red Note 3 last week and I really fancy getting the back cover for my phone, but for the life of me I can't find a source of them.
I use my phone without a case/bumper/cover and so far have found cheap black and white replacements, reasonable mustard, pale blue, orange ones, and then cheap nasty knockoffs in the wrong shade of red.
Anyone know where I might find one?
EBay?

Link to the product? Only my hours of searching didn't find a thing.
I think recall spotting various official backdoor colours, including a few metallic colours, in the Samsung store in The Hague.

Well, you could try the ones mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2617255
Actually, there's even photo's of them in the hands on reviews of AndroidAuthority and Hardwarezone:
The official Samsung retail shops sell them. I don't know if they have the normal red one, though. You could always ask them
I tried my luck with an approved service centre and they said they could source one within 3 days for £10+postage.
Just waiting to see if they can pull it off. Official part code is GH98-29019F.

i wonder if we have samsung center here in the US. I want a color back or two.
Just a quick update on this, got the official red back. Looks lovely on the phone, however the only issue is it feels more plastic than the black one and has less "stick" meaning it slides from my fingers.
some pics ??

Makes sense, the black one is the only one with a rubber coating. The red would feel similar to the white backdoor.
Would love to see how it looks!

I have a midnight blue nexus 6 with a d brand carbon fiber skin, I am looking for a case with a silver bumper and a clear back. I am not a huge fan of the blue border because none of the skins really go well wound the shade of blue they used. I have looked at the spigen and ringke cases but it's not clear in the pictures if the edge is silver or clear. Thanks
I own this one, thinking that the sides would be a silver color. When i got it, it turned out to be a darker gray. I have a black carbon fiber back and it looks good. The only visible spots you will have of the blue frame would be at your charging port and headphone jack

Any chance of getting a picture?

Let me get home from work and I'll post a pic. I will say it does look nice, but the clear shows wear. I'll try to get a pic of that as well
Here are two images of the case with a black carbon fiber back. This is my first time posting images on here, so hopefully it works

How did you get the purple lettering? I'm guessing there's a skin underneath?
It's actually pink carbon fiber dbrand skins. The phone itself came directly from dbrand, so they applied the black cover as well as the pink cover for each letter plus the moto logo.

Xiaomi Mi 8 Explorer Edition has a transparent glass back that shows off suspiciously pretty internal components. This design looks cool, but somebody said it's maybe a sticker.
What do you think?
Nobody sad this, it's glass!
It's glass and I assume that one would be very hard to get...

It has a glass back but you're not looking at the phone's internals. There is a heatpipe, magnetic shield, plastic cover on top of the components, and finally 3D sticker on top of the glass back.
Believe me, it's better this way. You get better performance and durability than having the components exposed, and it's a lot prettier than the alternative - look at the HTC U11 for example.

Really, I absolutely agree. In any Xaomi phone, performance and durability are important. Therefore, TRANSPARENCY or not, the phone is really worth it!

Not a sticker, you see on the back upper half, are parts of the actual mainboard.
It's not a sticker, what you see are actual components, they just don't contribute to the phone, they're more like "dummy" components apparently
Looks legit
