I ordered a device from Currys UK last week however it had the screen raise issue so I got a refund on it.
Decided to order with Tesco for collection @ store tomorrow. I'm just wondering has anyone had one from Tesco and the device has been totally perfect?
Cheers
1 dead pixel but that's it. And I can't notice it unless I run the dead pixel test app. My wife called me sad for even testing it
Very happy with it. Got £10 off, quidco and double club card points. Cash back.

You have no screen separation at all?
I received my nexus from Tesco on Saturday morning and can say mine is perfect. Checked all the "common" issues and my device shows no signs of them! I hope yours is the same!
The only issue I had was the cancellation of my first order due to stock running out...glad I ordered again the day after, I love it
I got mine last friday. I have one dead pixel I noticed today. I did notice a slight screen seperation too but that wasn't a big deal.
The dead pixel however, is annoying. I may return it for a new one.
I ordered from Tesco and have screen separation (screen lifted on the left side and make clicking noise). Which for some strange reason seems to have sorted itself since I pushed it back down after watching a movie. But i still rang, they have a replacement coming for me tomorrow and I simply give the courier my old device.
Mine is perfect from tesco, screen OK, display ok. rooted and running tablet mode without changing the dpi.

Do they have to put a hold on your credit card like Google do?

Request a new device dude, you didn't pay for one dead pixel. More could follow down the road, you never know.

I think i will be ordering from Tesco instead of PC World/currys if the standard of their units seems to be good. I will be ordering from Tesco Direct though, too lazy to go and get it
Just received my replacement and it has screen lift straight out the box. Also the courier said he didn't have to paper work to take my old device back . So now I have 2 devices both with manufacturing errors, time to ring up Tesco again
Picked up my 7 yesterday.One very happy owner.
No dead pixels whatsoever.
No screen lift,but if I press really hard on left side,a very slight creak is heard.
I didn't even notice it until I tried to press on the left side.
Don't think it will be a problem but,if it gets worse,I'll use my 12 month guarantee.
Two issues...
-Faint ghosting, not as bad as some people have had though.
-Screen lift, but it's a tiny amount.
In both cases I can cope with how it is right now, but am concerned one or the other will get worse. Obviously returns are easier in the first 28 days due to the no quibble returns policy.
Maybe I should just be happy that everything else appears to work.
Should I RMA because of a really slight screen lift, its barely 2mm.
I can push it gentle back to flush with the bezel, but the lift returns. There is no creaking or unresponsiveness...
I'm in the U.K and I'm still in warranty...

Have you gotten the email with the shipping forms yet?

Hi all, just an update... I didn't buy mine from Google, bought in store... so I've had to send back to ASUS.
I have had the emails with the shipping forms, and it's all boxed up ready for the courier to pick up tomorrow... then it's off from the UK to ASUS Holland!
Hopefully it'll be back soon! I'll keep you updated.
Funnily there is no sign of screen lift at the moment as it's been pushed to the bezel... but hopefully they'll notice the problem upon investigation.
Going to miss my little tablet, as it's been perfect apart from the lift.

Oh, I see! Well best of luck to you, my experiences from Google rma have been sketchy at best. They sent me two with the exact same problem (8gb) then I returned the third and last rma and bought a 32gb. (not to mention the refund took 20 business days)

I bought mine from PC World... returned it to ASUS.... was fixed within a week.. very impressed!
slight gap between the back and the unit on the top now... hmm not so pleased with that, but everything else it OK. should I be concerned about it?
this the top of the screen, is slightly slightly bent.. so the back doesn't fit flush! it's hardly noticeable, but should I be concerned about dust getting in etc?
Question is in the title...

I ride my bike with my Nexus 4 strapped on my arm and last week I fell off my bike and the phone flew off my hands because I was texting and riding my bike. My phone has the eBay kickstand rubber and plastic case (I like that it covers the USB and headphone ports) and XOskins rear and front screen protector and my phone survived the fall and tumbling on concrete, only minor tearing of an edge of the screen protector and very minor scuff on the corner of the case. Overall my phone feels pretty safe.

An amazon.com seller had the ballistic case for about $21usd + shipping (it shipped internationally for about $12 If I recall correctly, but now the price is up to about $27 + shipping) The seller that ships internationally was "One Stop Cell Shop". The price from this seller has been fluctuating between about $21 and $27 so you could wait to see if it decreases.
In the mean time.. I have just purchased the ballistic case from www.ioffer.com for about $27 + free international shipping. The seller has 21000 trades and 99% positive feedback. I know that ioffer sells fakes but also has some authentic products. I hope the case is authentic . It says shipping will take 5-10 days, so I will let you all know when (and if ) I receive it. I paid with paypal so I can make a dispute claim if it's not what I ordered.
So.. there are options out there just be careful when ordering and don't blame me if you order it from ioffer and it's fake... I will let you know in a week or 2 when I get it. :victory:
MyBat Tuff Hybrid Case
The MyBat Tuff Hybrid Case is great. I've mentioned this on other threads that I've dropped it from 4.5 feet right on the corner ... no damage.
I've dropped it multiple times since then. The colored version is $8.95 on ebay, the "Beer" version is $9.00. I currently have the black version, the beer version is on it's way.

Beer Version
Thanks people,very helpful info
Beer Goggles!
I put my "Beer Version" of the MyBat case on my N4 and it looked great, but ...
When I made a phone call my screen when black and wouldn't come back. A quick check on google and I found that the proximity sensor was partially blocked by the new case. I expanded the opening with my box knife and all is well.
If i can't find the Ballistic case for a good price,i'm definitely getting this one,with the beer print
I got the Ballistic through the Cell guru for around $30 shipped to Australia.
Other than the Otterbox which isn't available for the Nexus, this is the only case I would trust to protect the phone from a drop.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk HD
i have orderer a mybat tuff in black and also the ballistic one... i will compare both and make a review between both of them... they seem to be the best decisions in case of protection...
Any two layered case with a lip will offer good drop protection.
I don't know what case offers the most protection, but the Diztronic model works amazing! Today I was walking out of a store with my hands full not paying attention and all of a sudden I see my phone, falling through the air on its way to the pavement. The distance was about 5ft high. It landed on the top corner (camera side) and the phone is completely intact. The case had a little scuff/dirt mark that just rubbed away. I can't tell you how happy I am to have put this on. I dropped my Nexus S once case-less and the hassle with getting it repaired and such, what a task. To think of all the trouble I saved myself, wow. So very grateful. Much respect to Diztronic.

I placed a pre-order from tropical_mobile on eBay since I decided the H815 model was the best choice overall, for me. They offered two day shipping as well, so it was sort of a no brainer at that point. I paid a few pennies shy of $700, but they have since significantly dropped the price down to $630, so your patience will be rewarded if you decided to wait! As their listing states, it comes with some goodies, and I thought I may as well post a few pics of said goodies in case anyone was wondering.
There is no extra back piece included. Just thought I'd get that out of the way in case anyone was wondering. It only comes with the back that you ordered. In my case, that's the black leather - and I love it!
I'm a bit peeved that I could've saved $70 by waiting a few days, but I'm one impatient as hell sonofabitch, so I'll just deal with it haha.
Enjoy!

I ordered from them as well. Mine had a tracking number issued but sat for 3 days saying label created. After emailing them it magically moved (could be coincidence) and is now on plane for delivery tomorrow. Ordered at $646 for non leather back and saw it dropped: no biggie as I signed for PayPal credit to finance over 6 months. If I don't like it, Swappa here it comes!

i did get a pretty generic gray adapter from them. Seems its the same most ebay phone sellers supply.
Why even include all that extra garbage? I will just throw all that extra trash away. They should have included an extra that is actually worth something, like an extra back cover or an extra battery.
I ordered a brown leather G4 from them last night by the way for $629. Already got a Fedex notification that it should be here tomorrow morning. Said something about Singapore. Crazy if it ships from there in a day and a half.

Go naked. The screen is curved a little so even if you set it face down, the screen won't be touching and won't get scratched.
I picked up one from them as well, red leather.
I paid $674 on Saturday, they sent me a tracking number on Monday, and the phone arrived this morning in good working order.
So far, I think this is an awesome phone, and although I could have saved a few bucks by not being impatient, it was worth the 674 to me at the time, so it's hard to say I got hosed.
Either way, great seller, hopefully I won't be using them for a long time!

I have owned two 6p's within 60 days of release last year and both bent. I used a very sturdy case (could have been part of the issue?).
I tested "bent" by placing the 6p, screen down (& up too) on my kitchen table (multiple spots) and it wobbled. Both phones did this within a week or ownership.
I'm considering trying one again and wanted to know...
Do you keep your 6p in your pocket from time to time and if so is it bent? Would you mind doing the "wobble" test (lol) and letting me know?
I loved the phone and miss the dev community around it.
Your are not alone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/bent-days-t3241999
Mine isn't bent luckily.
I wished I didn't read this. Now I think my phone did bent too. If I put it on a flat surface on the screen side, it isn't perfectly flat. I do keep my phone in my pocket. So it gets tight sometimes. I wish I didn't saw it. But I'll just keep using the phone like I used to, everything is still working very well and still love the phone the way it is.
Mine is in my pocket at work the entire day other then pulling it out for texts, email and web surfing. Had it over a month now and no bending issues. I have a MIME Ghost Glass and a Spigen Rugged Armor case on it within 3 days of getting the phone. Sorry that you've had issues. I do have large pockets (khaki shorts) so there is no stress on my phone in that sense and never put my phone in my back pocket.

This is a great point; tight pockets will do this (almost too big of a phone anyways for more fitted pant).
Although I know some of us may have to, I have never put a phone in my back pants pocket. On occasion I will put them in my front pocket but then I don't wear skin-tight clothes. I tend to wear button-down or casual shirts with a front top pocket which suits me well.

I've had mine since the first week of December. I never use a case and always carry it in my left pocket. It's still straight as the day I bought it. Does not wobble. I don't know why mine is not affected but I am sure there a lot that don't have bending. At this point in my ownership though I have seen enough reports of bending to say that it definitely is a risk of buying the 6p. Get Nexus protect or squaretrade or whatever to cover yourself. Or just wait and see what HTC makes this year.

Sheesh! I'm hoping that by ordering one with a later build date, these challenges w/quality control are not a factor.
Is your current unit good now? What is the build date?
11/13 is my build date but I have another new one on order since best buy and other retailers are selling with $75 discounts so will be curious if a later build date arrives. If it doesn't have a date later than mid December, then we know this sale is intended to move out old inventory.

I believe this sale is running for s few weeks and best buy is good with returns: I could order a gold one to compare and return one if not both! Lol
EDIT: I did. So let's see which is the better!
Luckily Best Buy is 2 miles away with easy on/off from highway.
I'll also report on any bent issues for those who are curious/worried.

Guess I'm lucky. I bought a 32GB Graphite 6p soon after they came out from Google and paid $450 usd and put my thin little Spigen case on and a no glare screen protector on day 1 and I have a perfect device. I've flashed it about 400 times and have no color issues or bending whatsoever. I don't wear tight jeans but not baggy either but I do keep my device laying on my desk at work and when I drive I throw it in the dash mount. I keep it out of my pocket when I can because of reading reports of bending.. So far all has been fine. This is RedDoggie from the Gulf Coast, out. (CB radio static sounds in background.) ?

My devices were returned to Google directly since they were purchased from them. Fortunately, it was in the time period between Black Friday and Xmas where they offered extended return periods until almost the end of January, so I lucked out, and had a month or more to make decisions.
With Best Buy, I will have 14 days to make a decision but now that I know what to look for, determination is now limited to a few days if not a few hours!
