It seems that iFixit and Google aren't supplying either the frame-and-back-glass assembly or the back glass itself. I've ordered a couple from ebay and they're all plastic as far as I can tell. Is there a way that iFixit can get Google to cough up more parts for these phones, especially the back glass parts?
Is this a good question?
I'm not sure if we are allowed to link to other sites, but I found the back glass on Amazon.
The seller claims this is glass in the description. I also emailed them asking if there was a Google logo on the glass because it's now visible in the pictures. They assured me there is a Google logo.

Hi Vito,
I've been around for a while now, and although I can't quote a specific policy, in my experience posting links isn't a problem as long as you aren't promoting yourself or your business. I post links to repair parts quite frequently without problem.
Q: Is this glass like the original? Or is this plastic?
A: It is plastic, which is much better than glass. Get this and you won't have to worry about "Back Glass Cracking" it didn't come with the top piece, so I still need to find that. see less

on the amazon Q&A, if you search for "is" you can find the response saying that this panel is made of plastic
