Nexus 4 ordering process

Just got a mail from google saying my Nexus 4 has shipped. I'm assuming that means I got away with using a NI address for CC billing. Very excited! Got it shipped to relative in the north rather than parcel motel though-need a reason to visit soon

My nexus 4 got checked into parcel motel in belfast at half 1, will I have it in cork by tonight?

I'd say first thing tomorrow, mine was checked in about the same time of the day and I got the text saying it was in the Midleton motel at 5.30am the following morning. But you never know!

Just to mention, MiCrO has duplicated my thread on the Nexus devices ordering process so it's now at a new URL, even though the old one is available (thought it might have been best to just sticky and lock the existing one but it doesn't really matter).

This also comes with one negative effect, I cannot edit the post, I'll have to contribute revisions via a mod in the future, but I believe every post has an expiry anyways for when edits are no longer possible unless you have higher permissions so, again, it's not a big problem.

The new URL is in my signature now but I'll paste it here also:

It was at my local PM pick-up point at 8:30PM.

Jammy! How're you finding it?

I suggested that he could sticky the exiting one or merge it into this one:

This thread here should be renamed as you already mentioned, and I quoted that post in my PM to MiCrO. He hasn't been in the office so I suspect his time was limited today in which he could action my request(s). I'll say it to him or one of the other mods another day (as I've bothered him enough with some more requests today) or maybe you could PM him.

If this thread is left for discussion only then people won't come here looking for the solution on the first page. I really don't want any replies in my thread as it'll better serve people if it's a one-post sticky. If this thread had the post on the first page, you'd still have people coming in and not looking for it, and then asking for someone to explain the process to them.

Can't touch it till tomorrow. I'll never get to bed.

Even this way I probably won't sleep with the giddy anticipation (I'm like a kid on Xmas Eve).

I don't know how you do it! Unless I was absolutely shattered and nothing appealed to me more than just collapsing in bed, I'd never be able to table it until tomorrow. :P

Let us know once you have a poke around.

How long dies it usually take to process the order on flubit? I made my 2 evenings ago and it's till not confirmed, even tho PayPal confirmed it.

Has anyone bought a cover/case for the Nexus 4? Apparently with it being almost all glass it's quite slippy when left down and quite scratch prone too.
Doing a bit of shopping last night I found this, http://url.ie/hd8g. Currently it's my top runner. Does anyone have experience with other covers that they would recommend?

I got the Acase Superleggera Pro Hybrid dual layer Case for LG Google Nexus 4 (Nexus 4, Black) totally love it. You can get it in all sorts of colours, here's the link to black one - http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00B4I2GJU/ref=pe_217191_31005151_3p_M3C_dp_1

Picked this baby up last nite, Love the phone. Perfect size, feels so good in the hand, thought the Z was a bit square. Z defo has more of a robust feeling to it but like I said before the hatches are a pain. Have all the apps sorted on the Nexus now too so laughin. Defo recommend.

Thanks for the suggestion, I've seen that case mentioned on another forum alright. I'd hate to hide my beautiful Nexus though :P Does that cover add much bulkyness to the phone? It looks like the case is pretty big.

Not really. It's funny, after using the Z for a week or so, the Nexus feels smaller and so having the case on it gives it a serious phone size/feel. I also got one of these but prefer the Acase one;

Found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2134041
Goes through the feel of a few different cases, he has used the Ringke Fusion I posted and his comments are very negative on it.
Unfortunately he didn't try the Acase Superleggera so I don't have a direct comparison, but from looking at the case it probably gives the most protection and it's users seem happy so it looks good as a buy for me.

The only other thing I would be worried about with the Acase Superleggera, does it make swiping from the edges of the screen difficult?

Not for me. Pull the trigger.

+1 on that.

Thanks, I will. No rush though coz I probably won't have the phone until late next week at the earliest.
I don't know if I can last this long :P

If u order it from US (the black one) it takes a while to get here and last thing u want is the new Phone and no protective jacket for it!!!. Mine went straight in before it had a chance to be scratched/bumped against anything.

I just received my Nexus 10, ordered from Flubit (sent out by Google).

Unfortunately, it's a refurb. When I turned it on for the first time, it still had the previous owner's google login. I have half a mind to email him to ask why he returned it, in case my Nexus 10 has any issues.

Return it anyway, you didn't pay for a refurbed unit I presume!?
