Look at the thread regarding Slickwraps before you make a purchase from them.

[JTC One M8]

I have used decal girl on previous devices(psp, ps3, Ipod touch), they've been around for a long time. Decals are good high quality material, they'll last a long time.

I used Decal girls for my PS Vita they're pretty good quality.
Customer support is top notch, In my stupidity I tore a corner of my skin, contacted support, took picture of damage, and paid (3$) shipping and got another set sent to me.
Slickwrap on the other hand I've used for my HTC one M8, Price wise for skin it's pretty expensive, Quality wise it's on par with it's competitors. I do like them for their accuracy in the fine details though.

I guess I'm biased

I got my DG skin...It's not bad but I liked my SW skin more... It wrapped around the sides and had a better texture for grip

I've bought a skin off decal girl and i've made my own. Received it few days ago and I love it.

Ive never tried slickwraps so i can't say they're any better, but close inspection on decal girls pictures shows that the m8's side are uncovered, the ipod touch was the same way(close inspection). Also as i said, they've been around for a very long time and have an extensive collection. The skin holds up well throughout the unpredictable weather in CO. May warp if overexposed to heat, especially in CO's summer weather, otherwise it should be fine... Just a heads up

Where did u get the specs from?
I had both the impact, and commuter cases for my evo and they were awesome I'll most definitely be getting this case for my shift. They make the good ****.
powered by the tears of a million orphaned alpacas...
hm..from looking at the pictures on that link, the case appears to cover the 'shift' and 'FN' lights on the keyboard when it's opened. I wonder if they will fix that by release time..
It would be pretty hard to make a good phone case that didn't cover up those lights at least some, because they are pretty close to the screen part of the phone.
I put my email in to be notified when they are available, but I keep checking back anyways to see if they are out yet haha.

I wish Otterbox was releasing a Defender Series case for the HTC EVO Shift 4G as they did for the HTC EVO 4G. I won't be suprised if one comes out for it by the end of the summer.
They do not make defender series for any slide phones, it would be impossible without rendering the slider useless. I don't think we will see anything other than the commuter case.

the case for $20
Seems like a solid deal. I had a friend who shut hit iPhone in the channel of the trunk of his SUV. It survived because it had an otterbox.
I keep going over to the http://www.otterbox.com site and pray to Allah that they release their Commuter Series one soon. At the rate they're going and by the time it launches, I'll probably will be carrying our version of the Nexus S by Google.
It went live today
Will be getting mine Friday.

I think I know what you mean, I like it but.. it looks cool but it's not very practical, lightweight but adds bulk, good protection for the back but none for the screen etc.

I quite like it.
$44 is taking the pith and unless the project is patented the Chinese will be knocking them out for $1 within months.
I'd prefer it if they could get the finished product a bit thinner and pay maybe £5 for one, inc p&p but no more.
$20 for international shipping ?
Bloody hippies, why can't they just come out of the closet and say they are just as capitalistic as bankers ?
I do like it. Looks sweet and would match my Mica Plank watch and Bucket Oakleys
17 days left to go and not fully funded as of today. I already invested in my Treegloo so I can't foresee another case. But for 44 bux isn't too bad.
nexus cutting board.
bamboos float so if you accidentally drop your nexus with that bamboo case in the ocean, you will still be able to retrieve it.
I know it's real bamboo wood, but it looks too much like plastic vinyl flooring and bad 70's wallpaper to me. Has an IKEA feel about it.
Haha, I was about to say how it looks like my Grandma's kitchen.
I actually thought it was a chopping board the first time I saw it!!! LOL
Just don't put your nexus 7 in the kitchen when the case is on.

Chopping board,but looks high quality case
this is actually very nice, I would pay around 10-15$ though, and I would want it a darker bamboo, and one continuous speaker hole so the speaker dividers don't snap, and a microfiber interior
Just put my 44 down. I hope it gets funded, I really like the look of it. Very classsy. Good way to make my Nexus 7 look unique.

Are you from the UK? (You sound like me, lol!)
And I have to agree: I want that warm fuzzy feeling of doing the whole natural environmental friendly bamboo thing but not at corporate rip off prices!

missing a fornt cover
it would have been nice if it had a front felt cover ( like the grovemade ones for the ipad), or if it was a slip case.

Very Nice Case For Very Low Price

Okay guys, I got this case about a month ago now and have dropped my phone about 4 or 5 times from my waste to the sidewalk and absolutely nothing has happened to my phone.
I highly reccomend this case.

It also has a cool little kickstand on it for when you are watching videos, surfing the web with various mousepads, keyboards, etc.
And don't forget gaming with a bluetooth gamepad.
It also comes with a cool little beltclip, very handy id you dont want to shove this beast of a phone into your pocket,
Very nice case, only for about $8.00 USD.
Here is a link if you would like to purchase one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Rugge...435987?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2ec37feb13
In my opinion, it was MORE than worth the $8 I payed.
Hope you guys enjoy
I know this is offtopic but that beltclip is exactly what Otterbox Commuter case needs, take notice Otterbox
Yea that's the only reason I didn't get an Otterbox.
I'm sorry I couldn't post photos of the beltclip but nonetheless, very useful.

ive got one of those cases. its definitely one of the best cases ive ever bought from ebay. its quite durable and offers a lot of drop protection.
the only thing i didnt like was the stand mechanism. when its fully locked open, it feels like its going to snap when i try to close it. aside from that, definitely worth the money.
That's a brick... excessively thick for my taste...
You bought a Galaxy Note II...
I dont see how size of the case would come into play at all, you have the biggest phone on the market.

The phone might be big but it's pretty thin width-wise which makes it easier to use etc
Does the silicone pick up lint?
Would you say this case is as thick as the commuter or is it thinner?
Thanks
The silicone does not pickup lint.
I keep the kickstand on it at all times so its like a hard case with a jelly core.
Very good resistance if you drop your device.
It is quite thin and only bulks your device about a quarter to a half inch more.

If the op is dropping their phone 5 times a month, a brick case is probably worth it. Lol

Post pics of your Nexus7

There's a thread like this in the GNex forums and I love the concept.
Snap a pic of your Nexus 7 and post it here. Its a great way to show off any cases, covers and customizations you've made. I'll go first:
Official Asus case in light grey.

I got mine through a package deal on eBay during the holidays. 32GB N7 w/ official Asus case and screen protector. I think they sold the cases on the Play store, but now they're available all over online.

Since I am sure everybody knows what the front of the Nexus 7 looks like I wont post one but I will say that I do have a screen protector on it.
However on the back of it I have this skin on it:
And when I take it out of the house I just keep it in this sleeve. I am not a fan of cases personally as they add to much bulk for my liking. Excuse the poor quality of these pics, I took them with my Galaxy Nexus.

My Nexus 7 sitting in a fully handmade, zero-cost stand case. I used only materials found at home. An old notebook case, cardboard to make it rigid, and elastic to hold the tablet in place. (yeah, it's ugly, but I'll replace it with a thicker black one, when I find any)
Just got my new Trident Aegis case. It's nice to have a bit more protection. (pardon the awful picture. taken from my GNex with a dirty lense) I'll take a better pic and update this post later.

I'll post mine when I get home and edit my post....but I'm really digging the first white case.
Edit: Here are my pics, yes I know I need to clean my screen, the case is nice but it isn't very sturdy set up in landscape...if I touch too hard it will fall backwards...not a huge deal because I usually use it in portrait...but nonetheless still annoying.

I got a xtremeguard one. For the price I can't complain about the transparency and also add a lot of grip to the back if you are going to run case-less.
I can upload pictures if you want!
also currently the got a coupon code for 90% off too! 90off1
if you can post pictures, I would appreciate!
Thx

I haven't tried Xtremeguard but I installed slickwraps on my gf's phone and it's a really good quality. it's a dry install and you have to have a LOT of patience with it. I have a skinomi on mine under my case and I'd have to say the SW is on par with quality, maybe even better of a cut fit and it doesn't have the orange peel feeling like the skinomi does. It has full coverage and they provide both top and bottom front plate cover and a whole front cover whichever you prefer. It has top and bottom coverings as well. Her phone is prone to riding in my gf's purse and so far only a couple of unnoticeable nicks, no tears. She did drop it once and the skin didn't scratch. Though I now make her put it in a case, the skin remains on for front and button coverage. The only issue I had with the whole front cover was the side bezel covers tend to stretch when you're applying it so you have to trim a bit to get them to lay flat. Also slickwraps has a 35% off coupon + free shipping today only (or so says their ad) the code is luvsw if you're interested.
I ended up buying Xtremeguard, because of the price difference. However the Xtremeguard does not protect the top or bottom =/
Thank you both!
I have bestskinever. Pretty good for the price. They do protect the side,top and bottom of the device.

Sure. Here is some pic I taken with my tablet. Too bad I don't have any better camera. The top portion where the power button is located. That sp is not from bestskinever. Its from skinomi. I would suggest you to get skinomi if you were looking for more durability. As the film on the skinomi feels much thicker than the bestskinever. If budget is wat you are looking for. Bestskinever would be it.
