Nexus One gets new shell

If you all remember, there was a post on how I dropped my phone again (So I dropped my Nexus One... Again!).

The Google Nexus One housing replacement, Google Nexus One Replacement Touch Screen and Case-mate Barely There case has arrived!

Got these in the mail today.

It wasn't difficult to do the housing swap. All I did was follow this clip on how to dismantle the Nexus One. You'd need some tools usually used for opening phones too. A T5 screwdriver, a number 00x50 Philips screwdriver, and the plastic cellphone case opening tool.


About 45 minutes later... TA DA! Looks brand new!

No more dings, scuffs or scratches!

Next I just applied the screen protector and snapped on the Case-mate Barely There case.

Added a bit of bulk but it's bearable.
