New Case Pics - Nexus S Accessories

I just bought a new case off of eBay, one that looks like the incipio feather case but a lot cheaper. It was $2 but it took 2 weeks to receive since it's from Hong Kong.
Quick review - it fits really nicely and the inside is smooth and even so i'm not too scared of it scratching the back cover (which btw is already pretty scratched). It has a rubbery coating which feels really nice and it doesn't bulk up the phone too much. Overall the fit and finish is great, definitely a steal at $2. I really like it and as you can see in the pics, it looks pretty good (sorry for the bad quality pics, I didnt have a camera nearby so I had to use my laptop's webcam)
What do you guys think?
Here's the link to the one i bought if anyone's interested:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120692245646

Thats a bargain.
Might have to set up an ebay account finally just to get this

The white and black look looks really good. That's a deal.

Alright so after one day of use there's a problem : the case is a stain magnet. Seems like everything just rubs off onto it. And you can't clean it off. I guess I should've gotten a black one.

just got the case in the mail. only thing i can say i dislike so far is the finger prints. u an see in the photos.
Pics.
last pic. thoughts.?
Looks decient.
I just bought a 10$ case when I got my phone about 6 months ago, but now i'm probably going to purchase something more expensive. Although I have dropped my phone off my table a few times and nothing has happened (Onto hardwood floors)
what case do u have.?
Can the black part be used alone? Or does the purple part have to be on for the black part to be on?
Looks nice but a bit bulky. I wish case mate made a barely there case for the nexus S.
the purple needs to b on to access the buttons. there are many different colors available.
it isn't as bulky as it looks. the incipio feather cast is the thinnest case i have seen that isn't silicone.
It's just a cheap aftermarket case. Does the job. Adds no bulk and lots of grip on the back!

Slim case

Anyone have a good slim design case? Don't wanna add bulk, just need a Lil protection.

This one is about as slim as you can get.

I got the Raider case from Amazon for $4 (US). Hard plastic. The front and back snap together around the phone. I had a different case (AFG?), but it covered the power button and volume rocker, making them hard to operate. The Raider case has openings for the buttons.
Ordered the Incipio Feather last night, should arrive later this week. Comes with a screen protector too, which is a nice little plus. It's a few $ cheaper on Amazon vs myincipio.com site.

and I still can't find a place that ships over to Brazil...
but hey, still about the ROCK case, if you want some more vivid colors, you can look for Yetaa website, then go to MobileMate section and look for it. they have some really nice colors for this case.
don't know if that store is trustworthy, tho
I ordered a Rock case the day I got my phone, but also ended up ordering a similar case from Best Buy (Canada, online only, the US store seems to not stock it) since I didn't want to carry the phone naked for three weeks while I waited for the Rock to arrive from China.
They're virtually exactly the same, but I prefer the Affinity case to the Rock case (it was also about five bucks cheaper) as it offers a bit more coverage at the top and bottom of the phone. The Affinity case actually dips in to cover the area between the headphone jack and power button. I'll see if I can't take a picture to compare the two sometime. I'd definitely recommend the Best Buy case to any users in Canada.
I've seen that one at BB. I ended up getting a commuter case, and it's great but sometimes it's annoying that it's such a dust magnet. I have to take it out and wash the case weekly. I bought a smoke TPU case off amazon but I don't really like it, so I might grab that one from BB as a backup.
Yeah, it turns out I was misinformed about it not being available in-store. I just checked and they have them at the two nearest Best Buys to me.
You can't really go wrong for $10, especially without having to wait for it in the mail.
How weird would it look like if i put a black case on my white vivid? Just wondering. Most cases I find are black...
My Incipio Feather case arrived from Amazon today, sells for $16.50 there. It's what I expected... like all of the other feather/barely there type cases. Fits well, with a nice smooth rubberized finish. Also came with a free glossy screeen protector, which is a nice bonus. These types of cases don't offer a ton of protection, but fine for around the house/office, to avoid scuffs and scratches. For what it is, I'm happy with it.

Review of the Poetic Element Aluminum white case.

I just received this case in the mail today and thought I'd share my thoughts with you all.
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-ELEMEN...qid=1346087013&sr=8-3&keywords=poetic+element
I bought from Amazon and got it within a few days of it being shipped. The case looks and feels really high quality and doesn't add too much bulk at all as you can see in the images below. It also leaves all ports open, dock connectors, speaker openings, everything you should expect from a case made for the nexus 7.
I'm really pleased with the case. I hope I don't regret going with the white. I've had white cases before that just end up getting dirty and I'm unable to clean the dirt off. I can't comment on the claims that it reduces the devices heat levels, but everything else about this case is rock solid. One more thing I really like, is that it fits in my Exact brand folio case even while I have my hard case on. The one things I don't really care for are the Poetic logo on the back and that it doesn't cover the top and bottom of the trim. For that, I give it a 4/5 and not a 5. If any of you have any questions/comments/concerns about this case, I'd be more than happy to try and give my thoughts.

Thanks for the review.
But I dont like the back, it is ugly with that big Poetic text.
Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the big Poetic logo myself, but its still a really nice case for the price that you pay. I'm going to add that as a negative in my review.
i just bought one of these on amazon saturday night. got a notice it shiped today. so i'll have it soon. Where did yours ship from?

Purchased mine this morning. It doesn't have Prime shipping...
I thought it did. At least when I put in the order a month ago...but it could also be my bad memory I'll edit that part out.

This is the ideal case imo. Except for that ugly Poetic on the back as others have mentioned.
Here's my "First Look Video":

It is a very nice case. I highly recommend it. Maybe just not in white, the black looks quite sexy.

bodyglove case

http://shop2.sprint.com/NASApp/onli...ryID=CZS5478Q&topPageNumber=0&subPageNumber=0 im going to try this out tomorrow,had one for the galax.1 and the infuse,slim and good protection and grip,of course i will get screen protectors!!
I bought this case at the Sprint store the day I bought my phone just to have something to protect it in until I figured out what I wanted to do as a long term solution. This case ended up being that long term solution. It is very light and thin yet I feel provides a lot of protection on the corners and sides of the phone as well as protruding higher than the glass front of the phone in case the phone is dropped face first. I like the texture on the back of the case a lot in terms of my ability to hang on and use the phone with one hand. This case is a keeper in my opinion.

I also got this same case on release day, it's good case the design on the back gives it good grip. Like stated before it is keeper. But for me I gonna go with something a bit thinker just so I have a piece of mind. hopefully BG makes a tactic style case like the one for the gs3.
these don't look bad in the glacier color.

Picked one up from sprint as well and i really like it Offers nice protection, grip, and feel. I also got it to hold me over until i found a case i wanted for long term but may end up keeping it, it all depends on if my flygrip sticks well to that textured back.

Any chance this is available for international customers?
The body glove that is.
I too picked one of these up at a Sprint store. I had to go to an official sprint store, the affiliate store I checked first said there weren't any cases being made yet. I paid $26. I agree with the above comments, it's quite nice, although I'll go with a water resistant (siedo/otterbox) whenever it comes out. I did have to trim the top edge of a couple of my microusb cables, I thought about trimming the case but it's pretty thin there, and I only had to very slightly bevel the plastic of the cable. I've had the same problem with my Nexus 7 so no biggie.
Yeah i just bought one too and this thing is too flimsy for my taste. I got spoiled by the Speck case for my Note 1. But i had to patience. Couldnt keep my phone in a plastic box for 2 weeks.
I would LOVE to have a Speck - the Speck case for my 80G Ipod looks like a tire!

Yep, I like this case a lot also but can't find it in France or elsewhere in Europe...
Also, this case isn't super rubbery feeling. If that's what you're looking for then this case isn't for you. Personally, I don't care for silicone cases because they get stuck in my pocket and and too rubbery feeling. This case is a bit more pvc feeling and isn't rubberized. I didn't think I would like it, but it's pretty solid. It's a bit more expensive though.
This looks close to what I am looking for. Is it one piece? Seems like it would just slide out ?

Yes it's one piece. Goes on like a TPU case does, just wraps around the phone
Sent from my SPH-L900
the only disadvantage is it doesn't have the raised areas over the buttons. that's key on the samsung case. I would much rather have the textured back on this one though. It feels great overall, slim, light, and makes the phone feel solid. I wish there was some compromise between them.
So has anyone found a way to get the body glove outside US? It seems to be perfect for my needs. Slimmer and prettier than the samsung tpu case. I've searched but nobody ships it to Europe. Is Sprint the only store selling it? Do you think the case will become available wider or should I just buy the samsung tpu?

I like the case too. You can order from sprint.com no matter where you live or order over the phone from them.
My cousin just got the GNII 2 days ago, and he too rapped it with the Bodyglove case. So far he likes the case a lot. For me when I get the GNII on 12/1, I will be going the Otterbox Commuter series case route. I will not take any chances when dropping $299 with a 2 year attachment, lol...
I have one, feels awesome. Just wish it had the covers over the buttons. other than that, no complaints
Hate
I hate the cases with covers over the buttons. Takes away from the feel of the phone and having to press extra hard to get a response from the buttons sucks. I have never had a BG cover that I have ever liked. Seen this one on the Sprint sight when I ordered it and it looked good so I gave it a shot. I have had 6 different TPU cases on other phones and this case is the best I have used. So I don't find it a down fall at all the buttons are not covered. Plenty of grip. Raised areas cover the camera and screen edge perfectly. Get it and you wont be disappointed! :good:

No we can't. Sprint.com doesn't ship outside US. That's the problem.

Incipio Dual Pro Case question

I'm thinking of grabbing this case. How bulky is it? Can someone post up any pics so i can see how it looks on the G2? Thanks in advance

Not much bulk at all compared to a few of the others I've tried. I was using the Ballistic case and switched to the Incipio Dual Pro. This feels much better in the had and is easier to get in and out of my pocket. At work right now so can't post any pics I'll try to post a couple when I get home.
I have the feather and dual pro case. I am impressed by the Incipio products. I've always been an otterbox fan, but I'm really impressed by the dual pro, feels great in your hand and not too bulky, just wish it had port covers.
I attached my pics. Love it. Best case imo.
Thanks guys. It looks really good & I'm seriously considering going with the white one. I just got my bodyguardz skin and am debating if i should return it for this case now. Decisions decisions lol
I like my cases being not slick or slippery. What is the texture like?

It feels like matte heaven! Not slick at all. I don't think it could feel any better.

Someone in the big thread got the white one. It stains easily. He contacted customer support and they basically shrugged him off. Told him he might be able to send it in for warranty.

It was hard to find and you will not like the price! - at least I didn't, I'm a cheap SOB.

Shipping is free though and it did come pretty fast.
It's cheaper at shop BLT, item BTE5749.
Case thickness question
I like to holster my phones. I have the Verizon OEM holster but don't like the case. The feather around the G2 fits snugly into the holster but is too bare for me and I can't locate the Dual Pro in a retail store. Does anybody know if this is substantially thicker than the feather.

I have it and love it. I consider it the middle-ground between bulky and thin. Its not too bad. Its slick and feels nice in the hand. And offers great protection for the amount of bulk it does add.

Agreed. I could potentially see it slipping out of sweaty hands though. It's a tad slick but overall I love the case
Just got myself the Incipio Dual Pro (Verizon) after going commando for the first 4 days of my life with the G2. It just felt so delicate without a case, so I felt like I had to try something, even though I'm generally a no-case kind of guy.
Looks and feels really great, and really makes the phone feel a little more substantial and safe in the hand when you're picking it up and setting it down. I like that the outside of the shell has a little bit of slickness, but a little bit of grippiness too. It goes in and out of my pants pockets fairly easily, although the silicone top and bottom do provide a bit of resistance. I absolutely LOVE the way it covers the buttons on my Verizon version, and makes them feel so much better to find and touch.
As far as bulkiness, it makes the G2 a little thicker than I'd hoped, but that's the price I'll have to pay for having a better tactile feel in the hand, and a bit of security, especially from random bumps and bruises. Will it survive a fall? I'd say may I increased my chances of surviving a fall by 50%, but still don't have high hopes if I drop it on concrete or anything. There's just a lot of screen on the G2 to potentially not shatter it to death in the event of a fall.
I ordered it on Staples online for $22 shipped. Arrived in less than 2 days with their standing shipping method. I'm still considering picking up the Incipio Feather to see if it feels better to me, but I'm gonna ride with the Dual Pro for a while first.
I just switched from a ballistic to the dualpro and I'm loving it.
One question though, what screen protector are you guys using with it? Right now I'm using one of the cheap vzw ones but would love to find a tempered glass that fits with the case.
Thanks
^+1
I am looking into a Dualpro and would like to know if it fits well with the iLoome Screenmate. D800 if it matters...
Anyone use a wireless charger with it on? I have the feather and I am thinking of getting this next. The Droid branded wireless charger works just fine with feather left on.
I really like the feather, its the perfect minimal case, I have had it since day one. Recently I've dropped it three times, each time it saved it! Very impressed, but I'm worried I will run out of luck, so I am considering upgrading.
