Hey guys,
Last night I went to Gdgt Live in Austin and Incipio was there. I asked them if they're going to release feather cases for the Nexus S and they said that they'll come out within the next two weeks! This could be a viable substitute for the barely there case since they're almost the exact same thing. I have the feather case for my Zune HD and I <3 it!

Do you plan on getting it? If so mind posting pictures and a little write up?
I have an Incipio case for my iPad, and I love it. Let's hope Incipio can come up with a good quality one for our phone.

Incipio Feather for Nexus S is out!
$24.99, I want 2 but that + the international shipping hurts my wallet, I hope the quality is what the price says
I cant imagine spending more than a couple bucks on a case honestly. But to each his own. I also treat my phone like my first born son lol

I love the screen protectors that is comes with their cases. Ill pick one up if it's included.

I'm currently considering to buy a feather case. Anyone with experience regarding these cases? What about dust etc. getting under the case and scratching the phone?

Video: Incipio Feather for Nexus S First Look
Hi guys,
I'm here with another video overview for you all! I got my hands on the Incipio Feather and just wanted to share my thoughts and show off the case to those of you wondering how it fits/looks and whether or not you should buy it. All information is on the video below:
Thanks,
Gianpy
Good video. I'm curious if that case is basically the same as the cheap ones from China on ebay. It really looks like it from watching the video.

I've tried one that I believe you're talking about, it is another thin polycarbonate case. Couple of things I noticed that are different:
1- Feather has 1 large cutout for camera/flash, the one I tried had separate cutouts
2- Feather's inside is soft touch, the one I tried had a glossy inside and soft touch backing
3- Fit on the eBay ones is not as tight (which worries me, since I feel dust/debris can get in and scratch backing)
Other than that they are very similar
Thanks for the video. If I were to get any case I suppose this would be it because I hate bulk, but that price is a bit too high... and no screen protector either, lame lol.
Love it!
I ordered mine (Fedex!) a few minutes after they posted it on the Incipio website and it came today. I already had the Feather case for my Samsung Focus, so I knew what to expect.
It looks great, but the best thing about it is that it doesn't wiggle or squeak like the Seidio Platinum case. Be warned, however... this is a case for people who don't really want a case, if that makes any sense! This won't protect your phone as well as a fat, ugly TPU case.

Hey, I take offense to that insult on TPU cases! They do protect the phone quite well.
do they usually increase color selection?

I've just seen the Tech 21 d30 Flip Case for Google Nexus S and it looks very ineresting - it's a flip case and a stand at the same time.
Not to everyones taste but definitely interesting.
the case looks as if it is covering the capacitive keys on the bottom a little.
Found a Solid Nexus S Pouch
I was always a big fan of the Nexus One pouch and wanted to try and find one for the Nexus S. The Nexus One pouch was a little too tight on the NS and I'm keeping my Nexus One for now anyway.
I found this pouch on ebay and just got it in the mail today:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...m=&sspagename=ADME:L:OU:US:1123#ht_2415wt_907
The pouch is almost identical in quality and design to the N1 pouch except it is larger and says Samsung in small print. No Andy logo.
I paid only $3.99 including shipping and am very happy with it.
Thanks for the review. I think I'll pick one up too. How long did it take to arrive from HK?
Thanks

Hey thanks for sharing. Picked 1 up myself
it's a fine pouch,
but doesn't it gets in the way, having to always slide in, and slide out?
i still prefer the Gel skin or rubber shell cases than a pouch, unfortunately there are no after market gel skins available yet.
the ones on sale at BB is only available in Purple according to the website
im sorry but i do not understand having a pouch for your cellphone. you might as well buy a tamagachi and store it in that pouch too, along with your gold foil chocolates and pogs and rare pokemon cards. come on. grow up.

You're an idiot. Point in case, a guy posted on XDA a couple months ago about going to a bar with friends and a buddy of his spilled a beer on his N1 and pouch. phone was taken out, pouch was rung out and washed, 500$ phone was protected. The MEANING of the pouch is protection. Come on, you understand that concept, right...grown up?
guys please keep the tone down a bit
bennettm89 got an excellent point in regards to the spill protection, it happens more often than you think
haha fine.
I actually got rid of my wallet because the n1 came with a pouch. I sewed in a "pocket" on the inside of the pouch for my CCs and Ids.
It's a relief to not have to carry around both a wallet and a phone now. I also have to worry less about "losing my wallet" cause I'm for damn sure not misplacing my phone.

I don't use cases or screen protectors so I need to protect the phone when its my pocket. Cases and screen protectors ruin the experience of the phone.

Not much bulk at all compared to a few of the others I've tried. I was using the Ballistic case and switched to the Incipio Dual Pro. This feels much better in the had and is easier to get in and out of my pocket. At work right now so can't post any pics I'll try to post a couple when I get home.
I have the feather and dual pro case. I am impressed by the Incipio products. I've always been an otterbox fan, but I'm really impressed by the dual pro, feels great in your hand and not too bulky, just wish it had port covers.
I attached my pics. Love it. Best case imo.
Thanks guys. It looks really good & I'm seriously considering going with the white one. I just got my bodyguardz skin and am debating if i should return it for this case now. Decisions decisions lol
I like my cases being not slick or slippery. What is the texture like?

Shipping is free though and it did come pretty fast.
It's cheaper at shop BLT, item BTE5749.
Case thickness question
I like to holster my phones. I have the Verizon OEM holster but don't like the case. The feather around the G2 fits snugly into the holster but is too bare for me and I can't locate the Dual Pro in a retail store. Does anybody know if this is substantially thicker than the feather.

Agreed. I could potentially see it slipping out of sweaty hands though. It's a tad slick but overall I love the case
Just got myself the Incipio Dual Pro (Verizon) after going commando for the first 4 days of my life with the G2. It just felt so delicate without a case, so I felt like I had to try something, even though I'm generally a no-case kind of guy.
Looks and feels really great, and really makes the phone feel a little more substantial and safe in the hand when you're picking it up and setting it down. I like that the outside of the shell has a little bit of slickness, but a little bit of grippiness too. It goes in and out of my pants pockets fairly easily, although the silicone top and bottom do provide a bit of resistance. I absolutely LOVE the way it covers the buttons on my Verizon version, and makes them feel so much better to find and touch.
As far as bulkiness, it makes the G2 a little thicker than I'd hoped, but that's the price I'll have to pay for having a better tactile feel in the hand, and a bit of security, especially from random bumps and bruises. Will it survive a fall? I'd say may I increased my chances of surviving a fall by 50%, but still don't have high hopes if I drop it on concrete or anything. There's just a lot of screen on the G2 to potentially not shatter it to death in the event of a fall.
I ordered it on Staples online for $22 shipped. Arrived in less than 2 days with their standing shipping method. I'm still considering picking up the Incipio Feather to see if it feels better to me, but I'm gonna ride with the Dual Pro for a while first.
I just switched from a ballistic to the dualpro and I'm loving it.
One question though, what screen protector are you guys using with it? Right now I'm using one of the cheap vzw ones but would love to find a tempered glass that fits with the case.
Thanks

I am looking into a Dualpro and would like to know if it fits well with the iLoome Screenmate. D800 if it matters...
Anyone use a wireless charger with it on? I have the feather and I am thinking of getting this next. The Droid branded wireless charger works just fine with feather left on.
I really like the feather, its the perfect minimal case, I have had it since day one. Recently I've dropped it three times, each time it saved it! Very impressed, but I'm worried I will run out of luck, so I am considering upgrading.

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

How is the situation with this case realted to being slippery? I just read this in some other reviews.
Also somebody complained about NFC not working well.
Can you please comment on this. Thanks
Anyone find a good one?
Wow, I have the same question. This thing is super slippery. All I want is a rubber bumper, no back, no front. Can't seem to find one.
Same boat here guys. This is the closest thing I could find:

I preordered last week and it ships next Tuesday, but apparently they are now backordered until october, I guess. You can always write and ask if they plan to have anything sooner though, I suppose.
If anyone has a 3d printer I guess you can try making your own, too....or even with just a box cutter and a cheap-o tpu case off ebay.

That isn't really a bumper case, it has a clear back piece and is therefore a shell case... there are several cases like that available, one example is the one I have, the Tudia Lucion.
I have not seen a true bumper case for the Moto G yet.

Uh.. yeah.. like I said it's the closest option I could find.. I know it's not a true bumper. I saw that Tudia but looked thicker than what I listed. Still wish they would make grip shells for this model like they did for the older models.
The poetic case has grips on the edges...just sayin'
My Orzly bumper case was delivered today. It's .... eh, I'd give it a solid 4 out of 10. Does it cover the phone, yes. Does it add a bit of grip, yes. Is it attractive, no. The search for a case continues...
I was able to remove the clear piece from the case. It's now a bumper! Not great, but a bumper none the less.

Yeah, tbh I'm probably going to get one... The Tudia case is developing an annoying spot by the buttons where it lifts the screen protector when i press the power button sometimes. I liked the case initially, but after having it a bit, it just doesn't fit as well as it should, especially around the buttons.

Be careful with metal bumpers. They're known to interfere with reception.
Thx for bringing that up, for me I doesn't have much of an affect as I live in a urban area, but I've heard that for some people it could reduce the signal a lot (not specifically for this case though)

Ringke Fusion cases are some of the best cases I have ever owned. super thin, extremely light, good grip.. lives through drops like its nobodies business, and the port covers are a nice added bonus. I also love how they change the feel of the power/side buttons to give a more tactile feel. it was extremely helpful for me with my N6 2014. Honestly, these cases legitimately have an effect on what phone I buy now. Like one of the reasons I don't want the blu XL or Axon pro is purely because reearth hasn't made any cases for those phones. I'm glad to see there is already one for the 5X.
But can we find more cases of another phones on same website ?
