Look what came today!

This is actually a "pseudo" unboxing. I already unboxed it for the camera, but had some technical difficulties and had to do a 2nd take.
I'll do a full review after I have a chance to play.

can anybody see anything here

no problem here, thanks for the unboxing

If anyone can help me embed the video directly into the post, it would be most appreciated.
Thank you.

You're welcome!

It could use better lighting but over all great description.

I don't get why anyone would get this... if you're going to get this thing just get the slightly better looking one right from Google Play. Even costs less.

The case sold on Google Play is completely different. It has a cover over the screen that you open like a book, and it's made out of TPU. The Incipio case is a hard case, with no cover on the front. The Play store also charges tax and shipping, so that $20 ends up costing $32.83. The Incipio case is only $24.99 on Amazon. Tax is about $2.37, and if you have Amazon Prime shipping is free. That comes out to $27.36, which is a better deal IF you are looking for a low profile hard case.

Hmmmm, yesterday they had the pink one and the black one listed. Today I can only find the pink, and it's temporarily out of stock. It did just come out, so I am assuming they are waiting for their stock.
Here's the link for the pink one:

There are differences between the two, which I will note in my review.
Thank you for the comments about the video. I'm sorry about the lighting. I don't have a studio environment.

Thank you very much!

seems like a pretty solid case that doesn't add too much thickness to the device. my only gripe is that it doesn't hug the borders enough, i mean if you were to drop it on a corner, it would still get damaged or scratched to some degree. please correct me if i am wrong on that

Not to threadcrap but for 25 bucks....doesn't seem worth it. A tpu case that's 4 bucks shipped seems to be on par with this case

Have you purchased both so that you have an actual comparison, or are you just assuming?
TPU cases add much more bulk than a slim hard plastic case. Just look at the pictures for a TPU case. You can see by looking at the cutouts for the buttons and speakers that there is considerable bulk added. The Incipio Feather case is much thinner. Similar to the Poetic Element case, which is also a slim fitting hard plastic case.

yes, but how does this compared to other hard shell cases from ebay for less than half the cost?
i've purchased hard cases from ebay before for phones and 'brand name' hard cases, there doesn't seem to be much difference...

I completely agree with that. I usually buy cheapos on ebay, too. But, I haven't seen many hard plastic cases for the N7. Just lots of TPU's. I actually went with the Poetic Element case for $15 shipped.

Diztronic SGN II case in stock

I had their case for my Galaxy Nexus where it provided great protection and was also lightweight. I just ordered their case for the GN II and I'm excited to receive it. I went to the sprint store the other day looking for the bodyglove everyone has been talking about but ended up buying some bulky and heavy case from ventev.
http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=42_83&products_id=326
No pics are up but Clay did provide me with some rough samples. This looks to be far less bulky than the ventev and otterbox cases. I'll post pics once it arrives.

Yes, the other one was first, but I prefer to see images of the case on the phone. (like I'm sure most users would)
The TPU site doesn't provide that - this post does.
I vote to keep this one and kill the other.

Would like to purchase via amazon.

My case shipped out yesterday so I should have pics by Thursday or Friday. As for cutouts there weren't any for the Galaxy Nexus and that did become a pain however with the few cases I've tried for the GN2 the lack of cutouts is not a problem.

ooh. looks like they will have a clear one too... don't want to hide that textured back of the GN2!

Just got my case in. I like it much better than the case from Cruzerlite.
Edit: First impressions. Love the matte finish and the smoothness of the back. I wasn't much of fan of the back of the Cruzerlite case, but I dealt with it. Vol Up/Down and power buttons seem a bit a "clickier".

I'm jealous! I am still waiting for mine.. hopefully tomorrow

You'll most likely get it tomorrow! I ordered mine at 6pm on the 17th and got it today. I live in Chicago. The pictures you posted don't do the case justice! It's MUCH nicer in person.

Thanks for the reassurance. I'm waiting for mine. Bought mine on the 18th. Hopefully see it tomorrow as well.

Got the case yesterday and it is great! It doesn't slip, it's light, and offers very good protection. Without the case I would frequently hit the power button but there is less of that now. I wish I hadnt spent 30 bucks on that bulky ventev case from sprint.

If I didn't "need" a kickstand in a case, this would be my number 1 choice. Their case kicked ass on my Galaxy Nexus. This is the best slim type case with a great matte non slip finish, and the cost is always very reasonable. I wish Sammy made phones whose bodies were like this case lol.

Half decent cheap tpu cases?

I'm looking to buy two or three cheap tpu cases to mod to go with my flip covers. I want just cheap ones for now to see if I like them or not. Does anyone have a link to ones they like? Ive checked ebay but its always a gamble. If this is in the wrong section I apologize. Thank you in advance.

I'm a new user, so i can't post any external links yet.

Dx.com has a bunch of cheap bumper cases for around $3 in multiple colors that match the flip case colors. I would check them out.

does anybody know where can i find an all clear tpu casing? been searching online for one, but to no avail

LOL we need to know your definition of cheap, but as adrenalinemotion said, go with diztronic. It's not expensive, I'd say not very cheap either, but it is close to being cheap. The quality is top notch I promise. I never go with TPU case as their nature of loose edges allowing dusts and the like get inside between the case and the phone, but with diztronic I'm loving it. For color-wise, they only have clear, black and glitter white/clear but I think they will have more coming soon.

I got myself the Mercury jelly case. I think it's fairly decent for its price. Personally it's just something to tide me over until I get a better case (probably the UAG one).

The "sparkly" design (shiny little dots all over the case) makes it look classier than your average plain TPU case. Overall I'm very satisfied with the material , cut-outs and I think the phone fits snugly into it (perfect fit imo). My only gripes are
1. the exposed top right corner (I know its for the antennas for the Korean models but still...)
2. the volume rocker cut-out (I can press it without any problems but it just doesn't feel nice to me.)
3. Edges are raised too little to offer much protection to the screen.

Id rather go for the Samsung case than that Diztronic case. Thats too expensive to be considered cheap. With 50 off the Samsung case comes out to 15.

I really like the first one because it also comes with a stand and it fits nicely. The second one I use when I go to the theme parks (I don't carry any bags if I don't have to... makes it faster to go through security). The third one I haven't tried yet, still on the truck from CA.

I saw $13 body gloves today.

Leather back has a hump in it. Cases have to be specifically designed with that in mind. If you have a black leather back I'll trade you my metallic plastic back
Seriously... I throw in some cash too. If you're interested name your price.

If someone has a brown leather they want to trade for a metallic gray, let me know. We can work the details out
But anyways.! for those that have used a Diztronic case, how do you like the cases they make? Does the full matte finish really help with fingerprints and oil? Are they normally a good fit? Thinking of maybe getting a case until I find a leather back.

Got my grey diztronic today, fits great

Well if you coat a bumper case in cocaine and leave it there for a few days to absorb it it should go MENTAL by the end of the week. Very dangerous method but it surely drives the bumper case MENTAL. Haha on a serious note, I have no idea, felt this was a worthy joke and deserved to be posted!

Looks the same. I've had a couple for a couple weeks now. I posted about it in the bumper thread. I quit like it. One other person complained the lip on the front of the phone is very tiny though. It's just enough so that if you face the phone face down the screen won't hit, which is all i care about. I just want the back and front to have protection from when I set it down. Not so much for dropping.

The one I posted is two parts that come together so the front has a huge lip

Based off the pictures it looks identical to me. Never the less i look forward to your thoughts on it.

I got it for 4.99 from another seller. Using it on leather back. Fits nicely but it does not protrude out in the front. Hence doubt it will protect the screen much from falls
