More pictures and a comparison of Seidio Innocase Surface Case

I bought the purple case for my wife. Here are a few pics for those interested in a few more pictures of the case. I also have a few comparison shots with an EVO Shift that doesn't have a case as well so you can see how much thickness it adds. I like the case. It feels the same as the back of the Shift for the most part. Both the Shifts in the pictures also had the Seidio screen protectors installed which fit and feel great and have no adhesive. At $30 the case is a little spendy but it fits perfectly and doesn't feel like the top will pop off or anything. Was a good thing to spend some left over Christmas money on Sorry about the high ISO of the shots LOL, it is dark outside and I didn't want to use a flash and apparently the lighting wasn't the best.

5mm doesn't sound like much on paper. But side by side, wow it sure does look quite a bit thicker.

That is exactly what I was thinking. Though I have fat hands and the case I got made it a little easier to hold on too.

Nice case looks better then my shield combo from sprint

I just got my case today, and the front plate seems to want to fall off when I use the slide. Maybe I need to break in the case a bit...but it seems like it just barely fits.

has any one found a good leather or hip case that will fit the phone in the shell

In my first update I detailed the same issue: Seidio Innocase Surface Review (quick/dirty)
Basically you're going to have to carefully pry on your case to make a gap to fit the plastic in.

I have the HTC leather hip case from Best Buy from a previous phone. The Shift+Innocase fits nicely inside.

I purchased this case for £6.95 form AMazon yesterday and it came today. I wanted a thin case that offers as much protection as it could, and I believe this is that case. THis case is listed as $35 on thier website, I just wanted to say I dont think that it is worth that much.
The case has a hard, plastic structure with a layer of Brushed Aluminum on the back. This gives it a cool touch and a very nice texture. All cutouts are very well aligned and I have had no issues with audio or pressing the volume or power buttons. The pogo pins are also exposed which is nice as this is the only case I know where they have allowed them to be open. Overall the case is very good very slim and offers quite a lot of protection.
THe negatives come in the way of the design though. The huge poetic logo on the back of the case (see images) may put some people off as well as the bottom and top silver plastic being exposed on the device. Also the case is not that grippy to hold. Meaning it is very slippy to hold and may fall out of your hand.
Great case at a great price.

Here's my video:

Great review man... does it provide any protection to the front? What I mean is if you put the nexus face down does the glass touch the surface at all?

Thanks for putting up the review. That has got to be one ugly case though. I want my branding to be mostly invisible. That one screams LOOK AT ME!!!!! :silly:

Just recently got my nexus and I've been looking for a new case. I just recently dropped my nexus on concrete and the top right corner the I guess bezel or the silver gray material came off. Am wonder ok by if this case would provide decent protection against such a fall

My New "Custom" Note 2 Case :)

I had been looking around for a while.....tried a couple of different cases. And then i saw a couple of pieces that caught my eye. And i then thought to myself...."What if i combined them?" So i did just that! Had always liked the idea of a two toned phone. Here are links to the 2 items on Ebay...

Took about 2 1/2 weeks to get them......andddddd.....here are the results! Pics taken with my wife's LG Nitro HD and a old Sanyo digital cam

Just thought i would share this bit of randomness......i really like it! And the bumper case does not affect signal quality at all. :good:

Looks nice, I'm still considering a back plate like that. Let me know when you get a phone as cute as you pls. Then I will really be interested

I just ordered one of those carbon battery covers too, waiting for it to arrive
do you know if you can transfer the NFC from your old back onto this one?

This is what was holding me back!

the back cover is nice

does it leave in residue on the back cover?

Does the bumper not fit flush with the screen? In the first pic it looks to be raised a tad.

Nice mode. I am thinking to cut a TPU case into a bumper case to protect the side, and use it with the official flip case.

Juppa case

This one seems to offer good protection, a hard shell inside a book style casing. No mention of a magnet.

"5.0 out of 5 stars Fits well and good value 28 Dec 2012
By Brent46
Colour Name:Black|Amazon Verified Purchase
Arrived early an looked very nice. Applied screen proector (always difficult on big Screens) one of the better protectors I have used, Fitted Nexus very well and all charging an buttons accesible. Turns device on an off as you open and close. Very happy with for £5 I paid"

Bit annoying that he only paid £5 for it when they're now £12 but even at that it's not a bad price.

It just seems like another of a million already available cases. All these dealextreme/ebay cases all look the same to me, and a case is a case, they're all plastic, and they will prevent scratching the screen, that's about it.

I've fallen for this one

Nillkin case
Not the cheapest, but it seems a good finish, tight and clean all around

I posted the original link because I saw a case that took two properties of common cases that are not found together anywhere else, the book style cover enclosing the hard plastic shell. It's too bulky for my use but that doesn't mean it's not going to appeal to someone else, it deserved a link for that reason.

Fullbody: Xtremeguard or SlickWraps?

Which brands recommend me? Thx
¹ Only for protection purpose
² Transparent

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.
