my mercury case finally arrived.
sent on 19 Jan, received today.
I think due to cny holiday so some delay




the case is tpu type.
not really a firm case, rather a bit loose.
but wat u paid is wat u get.

the free screen protector is sucks.
scratches here and there.
bit I still apply it as when I was wiping my screen juz now, I saw one small line scratches and 2 tiny dots marks permanently on the screen.

I guess should be something link fine sand or harder object causes it.

I seriously recommend u guys apply screen protector.

from eBay, seller is supermom28
USD 8 per case
comes with free cheapo SP

anyone here using generic anti-finger print matte screen protector?

how is it compared to XO skin protector in terms of anti-fingerprint and Dust proof features?

can't stand my current cheapo sp now.
easily get scratches and is finger print magnet.

u mean the black stains on black background?
if so, I noticed that too on my screen on second day after purchase.
no matter wat wallpaper I put, the stains are still remain at the same spots.

I guess is screen prob.

chrome beta is indeed fast.
faster than opera.

but no text re-flow.
font size is small albeit already changed to largest in the setting.

anyway, I think official one will be better.

when u zoom in the page, the text naturally become bigger.
then u need to scroll left and right to read whole text.

with text re-flow, the text will auto rearrange to fit the screen.
test will become longer and u no need to scroll here and there.

if it shows UMobile2g and with a r, then it means u roam with celcom.
It won't charge us extra other than normal rate as UMobile is partnering with celcom.

if it shows other operators then u will hv extra charge.

try check at UMobile website

where is ur area?
not all area get 3g all the time.

If it shows R and is under UMobile2g then it is fine should be no extra charges on top of what you subscribed.

I saw this when I was shopping around yesterday



replacement battery cover.
back is aluminium but inside is plastic.
never get hold of it so not sure the quality.

advise to those who using back case, I found a few scratches on my phone body after I use Mercury case for few weeks.
was taking out yesterday to change other colour then only I saw it.

I can confirm before I put the case, confirm no so much scratches.

I immediately ordered a full body protector yesterday night.

[quote=riku2replica,Feb 17 2012, 11:44 AM]I suppose u didn't know GNex NFC is build in the battery, not the back cover in Nexus S.
Perhaps he's asking if it will alluminium backplate would affect NFC signal to be disorted?

the price tag does not look friendly to me.
furthermore my back case is still fine, don't bother to give it a try.
