I've been on the hunt for a really slim, lightweight case for my Incredible. I have the white HTC battery cover, so I was hoping for something like the iPhone "bumper" cases that allow the back to show through. Since there doesn't seem to be much in that department, I went hunting for the closest thing: the REVEAL by Griffin Technologies.
I really really like it, and couldn't find any other discussion of it, so I did a quick video review, and also took some close-up photos. I promise this isn't an ad, I actually do love this case!
Griffin sells it for $24.99, but you might be able to find it cheaper somewhere else.

Looks great... But where can I buy it using PayPal? I am really paranoid about these oddball vendors...

I can't really find it anywhere except griffin and bestbuy. I found one for $17.99 from one place but it had terrible sales reviews and I didn't want to risk it.
You just sold me on this so hard. Buying right now. Looks amazing with the white back, I can't wait to show it off finally, haha.
Oh by the way, check it out all. Found a coupon code if you order direct from Griffin Technology's website. The code is PIRILLO1510, it seems to have been active for a few months and you get 15% and free shipping. I can confirm it works. Hope this will help someone else out.

Nice review I was in the market for a case earlier in January but I got one before I saw your review. Then again, maybe if I had a cool white battery cover it'd look cooler. I still have the stock black one.
I actually just ordered one aswell with the discount code mentioned above the free shipping says it only lasts til feb 28 tho cant wait for it!

whoever buys this case will highly enjoy it! thanks to the OP for a great find!
For those who have bought this case,
How rubbery is the black part of the case? Is there plenty of flex to easily hit all the buttons? Does it feel solid or cheap?

sides are flexable... real solid feeling and slim.. the buttons are easily pressed..by far the best case ive owned..I have the SPECK, otterbox commuter, and various "slim" fit cases and this case surpasses them by far...my case shopping days are over.

Good, I was kind of worried about the rubber stuff myself. Thanks for clearing that up!

Hey,
I usually post in the Nexus S forum, where I review cases (done quite a few now) - I picked up a tab last week and was just wondering if anyone would be interested in me posting reviews here as well. I usually allow people to suggest cases as well!
Just seeing if enough people are interested since tab isn't that new.
Thanks!

Yes I am, because I'm looking for a new case for my Tab
Ef-c980nbecstd
I have this case except for one thing, mine has a flap to cover the front as well.
http://www.google.com/products/cata...=X&ei=zjrKTZa5J8rZ0QGq3ZznBw&ved=0CE0Q8wIwCA#
model number is different, mine in EF-C980NBECSTD, which, when I google it, gives back no results. ..... now it does! http://www.spotit.com.au/buy/80133_GALAXY_TAB___KEYBOARD_DOCK_EF_C980NBECSTD.aspx
mine is also made is korea, better than china, my opinion.
Yes, I've been on the look out for a case with a keyboard as well.
Could you review this one please?
Most of the customer reviews are giving it a one star which is very harsh I don't like the other similar one as much, it relies on a magnetic flap to prop it up. Doesn't look as good

To be fair, it only got one review.
I'm trying to find some for the Zenu case, They are pretty expensive and the only Youtube review is in Spanish. You can find them on Ebay and Amazon, there is several options on color and material too.

Yea, but what i meant were, other products with this case (you know those case + screen protector combos etc...) also got 1 star
Thanks for the help guys.
Hello,
I am looking for a good case for my nexus. The problem is I'm located in Spain, and all the good ones (like the Blurex Ultra Slim) aren't available here.
I finally bought an el-cheapo faux leather smart cover in eBay. It works well and looks pretty good. The problem is that it has 2 magnets to keep it closed and one of them interferes BADLY with the compass (it just doesn't work with tha tablet in the case). I've been reading that if you leave your compass near a magnet for too long, you can damage it, so I'm going to return the case.
Now I don't know what to do... I'm thinking about buying the official travel case for 19.95€, but I think it is too expensive for what it offers. Any suggestion that I can buy from Spain?
Thanks!

Good idea
Sombody tried the "IVSO® Google Nexus 7 Tablet Slim-Fit Folio Cover Case"? (sorry, I can't post links yet...)
It looks good, but I want to make sure the magnet plays well with the compass (don't want to end up returning it like my eBay case). Has anybody bought it?
Thanks!
I think this is a good option (find first ebay link) for us

Looks great! Has someone checked if this one has problems with the compass? it seems this one also has a magnet to keep it closed.
I don't want to buy it just to discover I can't use Sky Map with it again
Thanks!!
Just wondered if anyone has heard about possible third party back cover in the works, since it's relatively easy to take off. I would think some 3rd party vendors may jump on it. I hate this shiny fingerprint/scratch magnet. Phone would be perfect with a better back case. I hate cover/cases.
I'm digging the scratch resistance on the phone... so so much better than GNEX I came from. That thing would scratch if I looked at it too hard.
+1 for this..
I've been regularly camping Ebay for such an item but in vain
Better yet, a back cover with a wireless charging coil on it.

I gotta think someone will eventually bring something out. Should be a huge market for it.

Yeah, but the Verizon version ( ia hve already has the coil, right? Just hate the back cover on this thing. I have not tried the induction charging yet... guess I need to find a deal on the charger. Does anyone know if the quick charge feature still works with the wireless charging? I really dig how fast my phone charges. Would be a bummer if wireless was slow.

The thing is.. not everybody has the guts to open up the phone..
Unlike the S4.. back covers were readily available the moment the phone was out.

Probably not gonna happen unfortunately. It is not officially removable and the market for it wouldnt be that big.

They said the same int about the iPhone 4 when it first came out. Give it time. The key is going to be which versions will be produced. I'd like someone to maker one for each carrier so we can each have a chance to have a backup cover
http://www.etradesupply.com/lg/android-models/lg-g2-d800.html Looks like they have a back cover for the D800,
but not yet for the D802 http://www.etradesupply.com/lg/android-models/lg-g2-d802.html

Aren't the D800 ones compatible with the D802?
I only know the Verizon and Korean ones are the odd ones out..

D800 has third mic hole near the camera...D801 doesn't have this for sure. Not sure if D802 has it or not either

That explains the hole in my BodyGuardz skin..
The D802 definitely doesn't have that either.
We can still get the D800 back cover.. and find some ways to cover the hole.. But yea I'm looking for an ideal D802 white back cover.
Hopefully this will fit the sprint version. Figured the money I spend on a body wrap I can just use towards replacing the back cover when I'd resell the device.
I just saw this battery case on amazon and it's from Zerolemon. Would like to hear from anyone that has tried it. There are no reviews for it yet.

I havent used zerolemon for M8,but i did use it when i used the Note 2&3.
I can tell you that the case and battery are very well made and made to last. They are a very good company.

I used them as well on a Note 3, Galaxy S3 & S4 and they were great. Just doesn't say on the description if it will work with NFC for the M8.
I bought it. I might do a little review once it arrives.

That would be great. Can't wait.
i bought one from a store in my country but not official one , but it's a lot better , it goes all the way to the back and has a kick stand for watching videos ( and it was relatively cheap about 20 $ ) and many better colour options with better material design
sry for my bad english

i fear it would make a big phone massive. and take away from the aesthetic a lot. although the juice would be nice
i carry around one of these jackery backups and i really like it.

So how is this case? I've been looking around, and this is one of the better cases out there.
Its seriously too big for what it is. I saw the thickness and size and thought it would be at least 4000mah (knowing Zero Lemon) but having this really thick case for 2100mah is a really dumb idea. For 40 bucks you can get one of those portable chargers that offers twice as much power.
