Personalised Galaxy Nexus Battery Cover (standard & extended)

You might like to personalise your device in one way or another.  A case is one thing, backgrounds are another, but if that still isn’t personal enough for you, how about a laser etched image on the back cover of your Samsung Galaxy Nexus?

For $45 you can get a fully customised 2” x 2” laser etched image onto your battery door or for a lesser $30 you can choose from a range of 5 different designs.

This is a project that needs funding (a bit like the kickstarter programme we have covered before) the project is raising funds on Indiegogo.

What are your thoughts?  Is this something you would be interested in?  Maybe even for other devices?

Samsung Galaxy Nexus Update Rolling Out

We have had confirmation today that the updates for the Galaxy Nexus are about to begin. This will be done in batches over the air.

Yesterday we did receive information from our UK distributors that the update had already been completed on the new stock, but this was not the case.

However, this morning’s news means the update will be available very soon for new and existing customers and some customers may be prompted to install the update upon powering up their machine for the first time.
