Nexus 6 Back Covers Come Undone

Perturbingly, some Nexus 6 units seem to be “bloating”, as their back covers come unstuck

Google unveiled their Nexus 6 mid-october 2014, and released it to the public early November 2014.

All was well till the back covers for some devices started to have a mind of their own and started to pop off.

The problem, as seen in multiple images in the cyber world, is that the back cover comes unstuck and starts to bulge from the middle. Almost uncannily like humans who hit middle-age ;-)

However, owners aren’t amused, with many of them having taken to social networks to vent their ire. Some owners have even claimed that the they received such a “bloated” phone out of the box.

As the clamour grew, speculations started circulating, that faulty batteries were causing bloating and causing the cover to come undone. However, Motorola quickly clarified that it was a result of a faulty glue, and the battery was nice and lean, thank you very much.

They were equally quick to deal with issue effectively — they acknowledged the flaw and announced how impacted owners could get immediate replacements.

They also advised owners against trying to resolve the problem using their own innovative methods, lest they inadvertently negate their warranty.
