Here you go Fellas.. Like I said before, I got a sort of transparent case, with S wave pattern at the back.. It fits the Nexus 4 snugly.. That guy had other colors like black, blue red etc.. The cut outs are not aligned like 100%, but still all right.. I guess the first stock is like this.. The photo is taken by the nexus camera..sorry dont have another camera now to take the picture of the case with the phone itself..

For the benefit of the community, I will try to give you some directions to this guy's shop, I hope I am clear enough..
His shop is sort of fixed at that place.. So, Boon lay Bus Interchange, the one behind Jurong point mall..Its near the corner of the interchange, the entire interchange, if some of you dont know, is underground and shaped like "L"..His shop is at the bend of that "L".. sure can find.. he got the screen protector as well as the case..

Ok bro! Tnx! Ill definitely go there tomorrow! Tnx!

Hi alprakas,

I've been using (and reviewing) a few Android devices since 2010. None of them came close to matching the smoothness I felt in the Nexus 4. BIG PLUS POINT.

I know the Android 4.2.1 update is a small one, but don't feel good lagging behind especially after my previous One X took nearly 8 months to get updated to Jelly Bean. I have had enough! =X

I agree with you that N4 feels faster than N7.

Hey swgj86: I must say, I am jealous of you for your job! You know, I have so wanted to become a tech journalist so that I can get my hands on a lot of new devices at the earliest and once in a while get a chance to travel to those tech conferences! Hahaha

Anyway.. I have always used Nexus phones since the Nexus One.. the OTAs generally take a week or two to reach all the devices.. dont worry, no way is the delay going to be anywhere near those other OEM updates! I am sure you know that! However if you want, you can always unlock and put the factory image of 4.2.1 from google's website and relock the device.. again I think, you already know all this.. please excuse my post in that case Bro..

Seems Google have already started shipping out phones for those who ordered this week. Anyone received a shipping email?

Nope. still pending.

 

[floodgate]

There are free books and magazines with 1 month free trial that you can cancel immediately after buying, what's so hard about that?

thanks will try that

The Boon Lay MRT is one of those raised platform ones.. you come out of the MRT, and follow the crowd to Jurong Point Mall.. actually you can just cross one alley and reach the bus interchange which is underground.. well, come to think of it, its not exactly underground..ITs just those new covered aircon ones leh.. dont remember what they are really called.. LOL.. if in doubt, can ask someone to lead you to the Bus interchange from the MRT, less than 1 minute....

 

[oriserzz]

Long wait... Must wait for 4-5 weeks. Sux!!! hopefully can get it before x'mas

to get to Boon Lay Interchange, from Boon Lay mrt stn take the exit facing Jurong Point. Walk into Jurong Point and walk vertical in you will see the bus interchange. Usually follow the crowds will lead you there as many peoples go interchange from BL mrt stn.

hope this help.

4.2.1 is ready for installation.

The latest CM10.1 nightly is based on 4.2.1 too. I've been running CM10.1 since the day my N4 arrives

Which CM10.1 ROM u using? Any bugs? I'm very tempted to flash. Or any deprovement or improvement to the battery life?

Using the official nightly from get.cm. It is still a work in progress with all the AOSP features working. CM-specific features are still being ported from 4.1 but those already ported are working fine. As for battery, I don't really see any difference from stock.

Is it better to flash it now or wait for it to mature first? Thanks in advance!
