[REVIEW] Nillkin Case - Nexus S Accessories

Just a brief one, I'll let pictures tell the story with some comments particularly for I9023.
Nillkin Case
Packaging - Professionally made.

Unboxing - Aside from the case itself, you get a package of screen protector with necessary tool to apply. According to some user reviews, the screen protector doesn't fit nicely as there are a little bit part (around 2mm) that doesn't stick completely both on top and bottom of the handset. The surface is kinda rubbery similar to Thinkpad or Motorola Milestone, while it is good for a grip it is also prone to attract dirt if you have white color that is. Selection of color will be: Black, Brown, White & Red
Overall look - I think I'm love ..look definitely sick for me
Fit for I9023 - Perfectly fit, it's specifically designed for I9023 dimension. It doesn't look bulky at all, I would call Momax case bulky (I have one) while this just fits perfectly in hand.

Nothing much, just my Audiophile setup. That earphone is a custom made YUIN PK3

im in love with the headphones.

That has the same look as the Incipio Feather but I think this looks much better in white. I've got the red feather right now but would have picked white if they had it.
Is there any place to buy this online?

I've searched on eBay but I couldn't find the exact one. I got it from Taobao (similar to eBay in China)

Hey guys, I did a quick search and found this site selling the white case:
(don't have enough posts yet for linkable URL)
www DOT obostore DOT com/nillkin-ultra-slim-hard-shield-faceplate-for-samsung-nexus-s-p-801 DOT html
I've never ordered from this site before, but for 9.99 plus free shipping, it doesn't seem like a bad deal at all.
I might order this case once my NS comes in.
Hope this helps!

Oh man, just noticed it's for the i9023. The fit's probably not going to be that great for my i9020..
Guess I won't get it after all. >:

You just made me order a pair of those of headphones, tough sans custom made I reckon

This case does not fit the NS4G. It is too big and slides around

I finally realized that the i9023 is slightly thicker then the i9020. Wasted 3 cases on it. Currently using a Ballistic case but its huge. Ordering the white one like the OP now.

This seems ideal for me..just can't decide for black or white...
Does anyone have this in black?

I did not found the black color... any help?

A few days ago I ordered the white one on obostore. I'll post my impressions as soon as it arrive

for the 9020 too?
*edit*
sorry...is a different one

That case looks great, I may have to get one.

Anyone in the UK interested in one of these? I am selling the black version cheap.
Please reply on the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21437070#post21437070
And its brand new!

this is black color ^^
I bought it from here
http://www.obostore.com/nillkin-ultra-slim-hard-shield-faceplate-for-samsung-i9023-p-3715.html
30gg china to Italy
sorry for bad photo but i did the photo with my lg optimus one

Can't decide between to get the silicone or the hard shell.
My worries:
Silicone will be a lint magnet and will get loose over time, but nillkin is a high quality brand so it might not happen.
Hard Shell will be too little protection and if I drop it, the phone might still be damaged.
thoughts?

it's very cool for my nexus s i9023 where i can buy ?

They've gotten good reviews on this forum.
I ordered one last week.
my bad for posting something that was already up i didn't know this was already a subject elsewhere i figured since the title said "thin, snug, silicone cover" he was referring to the silicone cases not the gel resin type cases thanx a lot though you guys have reassured my purchase.
I've got this exact one, and love it. The protectors and case rule.
Good case. I got the smoked black. Thinking of getting another one. Maybe the gray/clear colored.
My friend didn't even noticed there is a skin on the Magic because it fit nicely on it
i got 2 they are the dogs danglies!
ET
I bought a black and clear.
The case itself is pretty nice, but there are a couple of problems IMO:
1) The case covers the volume rocker, so it is difficult to adjust the volume
2) The patter is something that I don't particularly like.
Other than that, it provides excellent protection with little bulk. The screen protector that comes with it is also nice.
Just got mine on Thursday and I'm really happy with it. It was much better than the soft rubber HTC one I had. Fit very well with minimal overlap on top, as compared to the HTC one, and gives extra grip vs no cover. It does not have a cutout where the volume is, but you can press the buttons even though its covered.
I purchased 2 of them as well. They are the best I have found but I ultimately quit using them. They just add to much bulk to the phone. I wish they were thinner. I am looking for something like the Incipio Feather or the Case-Mate Barely There for this phone. If anyone finds something like that, let me know.
Just received my 2 that i ordered on ebay..these by far are the best cases for the mytouch....the quality and materials are great...fits like a glove and doesn't add much bulk to the phone at all...i love it!
amazing cases. worth the 10 bucks I spent for 2
I like the clear one I ordered, but it turned blue from getting wet in the rain and then being put in my jeans pocket =(
I have the black one. I've had the case for just as long as I had the phone and I can say that it is GREAT. it's silicon, but not to soft like those blackberry skins. I've dropped it from about 3 feet (off a table) and it didn't have a scratch on it
Has anybody with a white MT3G used it with the clear cover yet? I just want to know how the phone looks with it on. Some user pics would be nice.
I used the clear one, and it looked great. However, as I said before, it turned blue b/c it got wet in the rain and then I put it in my jeans pocket...

Thanks for sharing the close-up photos. I use a cheap and simple black silicon skin (which I love), but I saw your product on eBay and was wondering how it looked in real life.

Which silicone skin did you buy??? I'm also looking for one that would be tight fitting
I have the same case (mines black where yours is blue though) picked mine up local for 30 dollars including a screen protector. Was the only one I could find that would allow me to see my skin through the case. The kicksand turned out to be a handy bonus.
Here's mine in glorious orange (makes the Tab easier to find around the house)

Bought from the same ebay seller as roy8846's and I'm equally impressed. Doesn't cover the bezel at all.
It's really well made with no rough edges and the silicone isn't rubbery like the cheapo phone skins I used to get from ebay.
For the price its an excellent buy!
Got one of these in black an i have to say its the best case ive had for the tab. Kickstand comes in.useful too.

thumbs up for these cases then , amzing quality for the price...
And free worldwide shipping (and no im not the seller lol)
sorry for the bump , but anyone else get one of these??
Mine is still going strong , very good quality!!
Great to hear that it's such a good case! Bought one from focalprice yesterday, without even know about this thread
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
I will buy it
lump on the side...
I see that the one side of the case is not as flush/tight fitting as the rest. My BELKIN Grip Vue silicone case does the exact same thing! I exchanged mine 2 times and still get this lump(as if the case was bit too small) on the side.
I don't like it, i bought a neoprene case by Bugatti!

[REVIEW] Mesh case for i9023

So I bought this mesh case from e-Bay 10 days ago and it arrived yesterday (pretty fast for a Hong Kong - Spain shipping).
The case is nice and there's a lot of colours, also it does not add a lot of bulk, it's super slim. I ordered the orange one for my and to try it out and I've just ordered a lime green one for my girlfriend. I'ts not the first time I order a case for my I-9023 but it is the first time that a case tagged as I-9023 actually fits perfectly and all the buttons are clicked without ANY problem, other times I've just received an I-9020 case
Anyways, the case does not protect a lot from big drops but it will protect it from the little ones and it gives the phone some cool style and also an anti-slip feel that I like a lot.
If you buy it just be sure to buy the I-9023 version, I don't know If I can put e-Bay links here but as a tip, the e-Bay vendor specifies in the product description that the case is for the I-9023 with SCLCD screen and not for the I-9020 with the SALED one.
And here the pictures:

ordered the same style case for my nexus 4g after seeing your post. i just got the 10 cases for 12.99 deal. i couldn't decide on a color and since they're 2.99 a piece i figured what the hell.
Definitely want one of these to replace my TPU gel case. Thanks for the review.
nice case. i bought capdase for my nexus s and wasn't satisfied with it. it seems the mesh case is much better than capdase
thanks for sharing, just bought a red one on ebay!
Just recieved my order of 10. I purchased a single 9023 case in gold at the same time I ordered the 10 pack of the same cases.
The gold fits my nexus 4g snug as can be, the pack of ten is a bit loose and floppy. Nothing a single strip of black gorilla tape didn't fix tho.
Super thin and the colors are really vibrant. Seems like they're colored plastic as well and not just painted.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G
Yeah, I just got my black one I ordered for my NS4G and its a bit loose. Right now its solved with the cleaning clothe that it came with sitting in between the phone and the case. When I get some free time I'm going to get some fabric, I'm thinking orange or yellow, and spray glue it to the inside. Hopefully it works well.
Sent from my Transformer
the mesh case was my favourite one when i was using the I9000
i'll probably get one again when we get our next phone upgrade, right now i got many tpu and gel cases already for the i9020
Nice! looks 10/10. Not sure how it would hold up in a bad drop. But very nice looking!
Anyone know where I can find this exact case for the i9020? Will this one fit? I think i found another one on ebay like this orange one, but its more of a washed out colour. I like this one the best.
I used to find that while they looked awesome, I always had a problem with dust getting into the holes of the mesh. These lead to tiny scratches for me.

I have one of these in black....nice case
Just got mine in blue today and it's crazy loose. Bit disappointing but I only paid like 3 bucks for it.

Word. Got mine a long time ago and the phone would slip right out it was so loose. Granted I have a 4G is was still disappointing... Threw it out. There goes 12 quarters... Hahaha
I got mine and the phone is not fitting in to the case. Seems like it was for i9020 and my phone is i9023

there are some that fit i9023.
I bought those http://cgi.ebay.fr/10-x-Mesh-Hard-C...ccessories&hash=item2a120deb28#ht_1616wt_1141
Though some are quite loose, most of them do fit nicely. Since you get 10 of those at once, there will be at least one that would fit ;-)
It's funny to switch color from time to time, I even match the live wallpaper with the cover I put on.
Got a black one for my i9023.... it fits awesome! Thanks for the heads up here. It clicks in without much force and doesn't disconnect in the pocket.
I purchased a Mesh case for my i9020. It arrived and was very loose indeed. However after fitting part of a left over screen protector inside to pad it out a little it now fits OK and looks fine.
Interestingly though i can't help but think that leaving the top and bottom exposed is a potential issue as many scratches and knocks often occur in these locations.

Gel Case

Not sure if it been posted before, but ive currently ordered the following
http://www.amazon.co.uk/SD-Tabletwe...F3DO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1342898437&sr=8-2
Anyone have any experiences with this case?
I'd like to know the same thing. Been looking at these myself.
Ive bought one, so, we shall see.
Ive seen the case before, but not bundled with a screen protector and stand. I actually ordered the TPU case. Comes in S, waves, and X rear design. Will post pics once I receive it.

Please post your impressions of the case AND the stand once you receive it. I'd love to know
need this to be sold here in the US lol
TPU
I keep searching and notice a lot more vendors have them available, TPU cases that is. Seems they are all selling the same 2 designs.
But this one has the largest color selection. For those looking for the White Backing

I have the clear S case coming today/tomorrow, and the Black X case coming Friday. Also Have a 7in Android slip cover coming. will post thoughts when I receive.
Thanks goes to vancouver_hawk for linking;http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/van/mob/3158954395.html
GREAT source for pictures on how these Series S-line look on the Nexus 7. I ordered the X series, which I think covers the buttons.
Found another clear X series installed on a I/O unit;
Borrowed me some ebay pictures of a clear S-line installed on a retail unit;
I have the s-line case on my nexus 7 n its a nice fit. Cutouts are perfectly lined up with buttons, speaker hole, charging port, etc. Very thin not bulky at all but thick enough to protect the n7. I would recommend it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Looks nice. I will pick one up. Nice too as you do,nt have to worry about setting the device face down, getting the back greasy (reading while eating ) or having to look like an old person with all these "folio" cases.
I bought one of the X designs shows in the various colors on the previous page. I bought it from Amazon in black. Coupled with a SP this maybe all that I need.
I would like a thin flap case but they add way to much bulk right now. Maybe when someone creates a thin model, I'll jump.

anyone get the speck case?

if so please post pictures as well as a review.
thank you
i Broke down and ordered the black one.. I will report back when i do
I'd love to see it too. I got the clear adopted case for my 5x.
It's totally worth the price. Below are some photos.
Slides in and put of pockets very nicely. Phone feels very slim even with this case on.
The rubber on the back helps you hold onto the phone when using it with one hand, and it doesn't get stuck on your pants pockets because it isn't too sticky nor is it a lint magnet.
Also the lip on the front of the case is stiff and high enough to keep the screen off the ground if it is dropped face first.
Also the buttons are very clicky which is nice. I had a spigen case on my nexus 5 and it ruined the feel of the buttons.

There's a video review on YouTube
A customer came in today with a speck on their gs6 and it felt great. Buttons were clicky and awesome. I hope the 5x is as nice
I will confirm that the buttons are very clicky. No much like on cheap tpu cases.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
I ordered the black one because it bothered me that the whites were different shades of white
I received the black one yesterday. I ordered an el cheapo case for work from amazon but I hated it, the Speck case fixes all the problems I had with it.
Can you post a few pictures of the black one please? All reviews so far ive seen have been for the white one
The black one would obviously look best on the black phone. Not sure that model is as popular.

I have the white one on the black phone. Love it. I've always liked the Speck Candy Shell cases.
Mine will be the black case on a white phone
Case came in today... It feels great. I love it.. I dont see myself buying another case.. And im usually a 7-8 cases kinda guy

I would have bought the white one too but I'm a construction worker and my hands are always filthy. As a matter of fact, I would have bought the quartz 5X but went for the carbon one for the same reason. Black on black for me.

Same here this is the highest quality case I have ever had in a phone. I've had otterbox and spigen cases before but this is sooo much higher quality.
Now I know why most iPhone users have this case.
