Aluminium/Metal Case? - Nexus S Accessories

Just wondering if anyone could recommend an aluminium/metal type case for my i9020. Preferably looking for one in a white/silver/grey colour.
Alternatively, has anyone used this case/do you think it would be good quality?
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/13055010...AX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_1545wt_905

The only other metal case I've ever seen listed for the i9020 is one listed on amazon, it's called BoxWave Nexus S Armor, I'd post a link but I'm new and can't do that yet
Can't recommend as I've never used it, but it looks tough.

The one you quoted in ebay is very cool. I would like to know how it works for i9023.

I managed to find a silver one on ebay, will post pics when it arrives and let everyone know if it is good quality. Sorry shockem but I don't know anyone with a i9023, which is quite funny because that's the model they sell in Australia but all my friends imported theirs.

i got impatient and purchased that case anyways i got the black one which one did you get

that one you listed on ebay looks a little cheap-ish... just sayin.g that boxwave one looks ok, but i forsee that hinge/latch thing being a problem. looks like it open kind of easily. anyone else find anything of higher quality anywhere else? ive been looking for hours to no avail.

Hi guys, I received the case last week but I have been swamped with work so I didn't get to post a little review on the case. Sorry about the quality of these pictures the lighting is extremely bad.

Front view of phone, this photo is the most accurate in regards to the colour of the case, the silicone front is definitely black.
The volume buttons and power button have black silicone over them. Ignore the colouring of this photo, bad lighting.
Back comparison, I purchased the silver one. There is a cut out at the bottom for usb/headphone ports.
View from back with case on. It is a bit of a fingerprint magnet.
TERRIBLE TERRIBLE lighting showing the front view of the case on the phone.
OPINION: After using the case for a week I am very happy with it. Yes, it is a cheap case but to me it was worth the $4.40 Australian I paid. I especially like the cold feeling and the solidity of the case. I didn't have an incident in which I dropped the phone on concrete and I dinted the bottom corner of the case but it is not that bad. Overall I like the case but I will probably be purchasing another one in a few months because it will get pretty scratched from my fingernails and floating around in my handbag etc.
Any other questions about the case? Just ask.

Very nice. where I can buy?

Search ebay for 'nexus s metal case' and about 30 different listings should come up, most are for this exact same case.
I bought from this listing.

@ OP - Nice find! This so far looks the best of the one's available to us right now - sexy! Now I just need to find my user name and pass for eBay/and PP - haven't used eBay in years!

I was hoping this store had its own site outside of eBay, but oh well.
Cheers for the heads up.
I've been looking for a case for 2 weeks now.
I should get it in a few days.
I'll let you guys know what's it like.

SWEET!!!! i l ove it
ordered one already
i got the black one, is the only one that looks good
red is too pinkish, and purple is ... pale, like washed out black
i wanted blue... but they don't have it
Thanks, ordered one w/screen guard for $10. Not bad .
Edit: I ended up ordering the 3-in-1 package deal (same seller). Hopefully the screen protector is decent, but if not - it's still a good deal for the case and car charger ($13.02 USD/includes the S/H).
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3-IN-1-PACK-S...asesPouches&hash=item2c5a2c9348#ht_1919wt_972
That is absolutely beautiful. Keeps up with the sleek design of the phone.
Post pics if you get it OP! Thanks.
Just picked one up too. Looks nice. Good find.
Appreciate that looks the sexiest of all cases I've seen ... but is this TPU? or is it some soft kinda think that get loose after a while?

it's like a hard case, same as the ones available for the SGS
it's more of a Fashion case, than protection case
I prefer soft cases. That does look sleek, though.

Oh. I thought it was a combination of a soft/and hard case? Still ordered it (too sexy not to!), but now I am thinking maybe I should have ordered a soft black gel case too. I'll order a soft case next time.
i ordered the blue case i mentioned on the other topic
i like to switch cases every now and then... it's all fashion though
like changing shoes

anyways i got the CLEAR one... seems really cool!!
but as the guy above me i like changing skins often
Yeah, fantastic find, this is a great looking case!
roshga, I too was thinking of getting the clear one (haven't got my phone yet). The "Google" visible on the rear is kind of cool. The only problem is that in the picture, the transparent plasticky look can be seen on the front edges. The black one's edge blends smoothly into the colour of the phone. Wish they had the Google written on the back ... with no "Samsung"
When someone gets it, can pictures be posted ... actually a short video clip of putting it on would be great as we can get the "feel" of the case

i compared both of the pictures... if you look carefully u can see that the black one seems as plasticky as the clear one, and the "Google" visibility was the reason for going for the clear one
I'm from Israel so the shipping will probably take more time then an order from the UK, if no one will upload any pictures of it till i'll get it I'm gonna post some myself
Good Day all.
Nice, too bad UK only.

[REVIEW][i9023] Nilkin Hard White Case : Cleaned up the pictures!

So, my Nilkin case arrived in the mail on friday. Took 2 weeks.
The Gallery of images can be viewed here for a better look and experience. HERE
So here's the package.
Link1
Comes with a screen protector ( Not gonna change my screen protector yet )
Link2
And here are some pictures of the case being naked. (without the phone)
Link3
Link4
Link5
Link6
Link7
Link8
Link9
Now for pics with my phone with the case
Link10
Link11
Link12
Link13
Link14
Link15
Conclusion:
Overall a very good case. Actually makes the phone look very good. Especially the back where the phone looks slick. The fact that the bottom and top are protected halfway scares me, however i can take care of the phone well so it depends on you.
The case feels quite slippery when you hold it up, so you have to grip it tightly.
Looks good on the sides and all round. Generally a very nice case to have.
I love it.
I hope this review helps you to decide and if you liked this review PLEASE HIT THE THANKS BUTTON
Thanks for reading!
Could you please resize the images? they are a way to big
Update 1: Cleaned up all the pictures, just click the links to view them

If you keep dropping your phone you definitely need a cover. I dont think this is available for NS4G though. You'll have to look for a similar one.

I think it's cheaper on eBay, but CASESSS.com offers faster shipping options and free to Singapore as well.

[Q] Protective covers anywhere?

Has anyone found protective covers for the 4X anywhre?
I have only managed to find "socks" and holsters, but no form-fitting covers.
I realise it's still early days, but i would really like to protect my 4X.
I would really love something like a Powerskin for the 4X, but i doubt thats gonna happen...
I emailed SGP, asked if they were going to make cases for O4X. They said they have no plans for the meantime but will consider manufacturing if they see a demand.

Wouldn't it be hard to make a case for the 4x because of its design?
Check out nillkin hard case in ebay.

Okay I'll do that. I took a few pictures of the front as well but they were too dark.
Edit:
Actually, there's some hard silicon cases on aliexpress.com Comes in a few colours.
Thank you for those nice photos
I'm from France, anyone knows if there's a website from were i could buy this case without having to pay a high "shipping" price ?
Edit : I ordered mine too, a black one !
An other question : the LCD guard sold with the case, how it is ? Is it a good one ? (this one : http://www.nillkin.com/upload/editorfiles/2011.12.31_16.3.9_8226.jpg )
Bought this soft silicon case yesterday for only US4.5, comes in several colors. One thing I like this case is that it still shows the beauty of the back cover!

Cheap Case Review (Lots of pics!)

Hey everyone, I'm back with another review with lots of pictures again. Some of the pictures were taken with my Galaxy Note 2, and even though they are some fantastic pictures, I took out another camera to take pictures with the case on the phone.
To be honest, this is a case that I thought I wouldn't recommend to anyone because it was a cheapo case and it feels CHEAP! I mean, REALLY cheap! But once it's on the phone, it actually feels really good in hand and then it gives it a textured back that will for sure not let you drop it as easily!
Enough of my blabbing.
This is how it came:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You can find this case in a ton of different colors.
The buttons don't feel like they're going to click, but they're actually really clicky once it's on the case. It isn't as good as the original case that I reviewed last week, but for the price, it's good and you can feel the raised buttons.
Port holes are HUGE! I mean, every place there is an opening, this case makes it a lot bigger than it really needs to be! Check these pictures out.
Compare the hole for the speaker, or the pen silo!
And the camera hole
There is a higher lip on the case, so you can put it face down on the table and the screen won't touch the table.
I actually bought this case a week before I got my Note 2, and it just got here a few days ago. Ironic that I ordered it to have a case right away and it is the 4th case I got in the mail. Lol. I like the case, but it honestly doesn't compare to the Original case that I reviewed. It does have some good points and some bad ones. I like the texture, but it has massive port holes. I don't like how it makes my phone look though, but you can judge that for yourself. I'm going to stick to the original case. But it's not bad at all for the price that it is on eBay!
Would I recommend it? Yeah.
Are there better cases? For sure.
Better cases for the price? Probably not.
Hit thanks if this review has helped you or you just like the pics Or if you'd like me to continue reviewing cases I buy .
Thanks for reading

I've ordered from here before. Shipping takes forever unless you pay for faster shipping but it's legit and I got about 10 cases for my original note from there. They were only 86 cents! One of the best sites I've come across. The only problem I've run into is the pictures don't exactly represent the exact item. Like I ordered a case and the picture showed it transparent but it was really solid blue.

Bodyglove case from T-Mobile retail stores... [pics]

It's slimfit just like the one from the Sprint store.
It's also anti-microbial as well.
Like stated in the other thread, one of the best TPU cases I've owned.
With the foursqure coupon at TMo, you get it for 30% off.

Nice looks a little different from sprint one. Sprints has the whole back textured, the bottom is smooth and glossy, and the sides are a smooth matte.

I also have this one and yes it slides in/out pocket well.
Feels thin but will protect from drop/scratches and the gray color goes well with the Note's Titanium color.
So far it's maintaining it's shape and no scuff/scratches. It's a keeper for myself.
(just noticed it's $18.65 on amazon)

Oh good ****. They finally updated the site. (i work for tmo)
Those diamond cases are awesome. I used one on my s2 forever. The gray part is rubber, the white is plastic. One piece design similar to the Speck candyshell.
If you work at T-Mo...do you know if the 30% Foursquare thing still works? That's assuming these things exist in stores yet. I thought I saw someone say they used it a few days ago, but the only thing I can find are links to a promo from last year.

Should still work. The code is active in the system.
