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 bought one 2 days ago for $2.99
Has anyone tried the pouch with the Android logo on it, and does it fit nicely?
I can't post links, but it's the "Black Neoprene Pouch Case for Nexus S" on eBay.

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.

Can you post actual pictures of this pouch with the phone in it? I love my N1 case that i hacked up, but its not the fit i want.
shame, i see this thread right after i get back from buying a case from BBY, oh well. I rather have constant protection but i did like the sleeve that my N1 had

Did some searching on this board, but really didn't see much focus on those of us looking for rotating cases, so here it is:
Does ANYONE have any leads on well-designed rotating cases for the N7? I'm looking at the following three cases, all of which have yet to become available for purchase, but I'm hoping someone else found something that's available now:
360 Degree Rotating Folio PU Leather Case For Google Nexus 7 - Brown (any opinions on CaseBuy.com as a retailer would be appreciated
MoKo(TM) Folding Cover Case for Google Nexus 7 Android Tablet, Purple (With Automatic Sleep/Wake Function, Flip Stand, Elastic Hand Strap, Stylus Loop, and MicroSD Slot)
MoKo(TM) Folio Cover Case for Google Nexus 7 Android Tablet(With Automatic Sleep/Wake Function) (Looked like a rotating case, but not sure)
I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on the CaseBuy one, but I've never ordered with them, and I don't know if they're shady. Thoughts?
Why are the second two $99?

I saw those too, and I"m also tempted on buying the i-BLASON one as well. Still, I'm trying to see if there's any case that cuts down on the bulk; don't want to make the N7 too unsexy
Have to say that so far I haven't seen a single case that looks worth buying (of maybe 2 or 3 dozen I've seen online). I'm hoping that at least a couple of the manufacturers who turn out the best designed and engineered iPad cases decide to address the Nexus 7 market, given its successful launch (in numbers, not execution) and prospects. So far the pickings are pretty uninspired, if not dismal.

Have to agree, these case look to be about 1 inch thick sandwich with the nexus in the middle. I did like the MoKo(TM) Folding Cover Case (2nd one on first post) but only if its at a more reasonable price range.

No magnet throws me off that case but otherwise looks great. I hope they make a revision with auto-wake.
My main need for a case is to stand it in portrait for when I'm in bed reading. Has anyone bought a case and can tell me that it's good for that. I bought one of those cheap rotating cases from an unknown brand and it's good in landscape but in portrait the stand part is to weak and as soon as i touch it it collapses so I'm wary of trying another

I got this case a week ago. I meant to post but didn't get a chance. No magnet in it but a slim magnet can be slipped inside the first groove (the first groove for landscape viewing). I didn't have many magnets available..i tried some slim ones off the refrigerator but they weren't powerful enough. I took out the magnet from a old 6gb 2.5inch laptop drive and its works. The magnet in the hard drive is very slim and I still need to try and cut down the surronding metal plate to make it as small as possible.
This is the one that I ordered and should be here on Monday:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007S9ZSGW/
The bezel NOT being covered is huge deal breaker for me so this one provides that plus the full 360 degree rotation that I wanted. I have the same one for my Blackberry Playbook and I love it.

I'm looking for one that will work well in portrait for reading. I'd like to know how you like it when you get it especially in the portrait position. I bought one that looked kinda the same but was some cheap no name brand and in the portrait mode the stand part is too weak to hold it up and collapses.

lol I ordered that one also. BTW my RooCase one arrived and I do really like it. The bezel being covered is kinda weird though so I thought I might like the above one better. It also appears to be more slim than the RooCase. The RooCase does work well in Portrait mode and it's a velcro to felt kinda link so you can adjust it however you like. Have yet to put serious use in it but it seems great for the most part.
Just interested to see what everyone is using. I can't seem to make my mimd up.

This case and my Note 2 will be arriving tomorrow. I hope the case will be enough to hold me over until a better deal comes about on a name brand case. I'll be pairing this with a Spigen screen protector.
Im using the white and grey case mate case from at&t. The reason, I billed it to my company.

Same here. I also have the Proclips mount in my car, meaning I have to take the case off to use it. The Body Glove case comes off and goes back on very easily.
Also bought the body glove one from sprint. Was worried about cases and adding bulk but this seems to be minimal and my phone doesn't feel like it's going to slip out of my hand every time I hold it.

I went to several Sprint locations, and none of them had the body glove case. I was also hoping to get something with a belt clip.
The only case I found locally in stock for my Note 2 was at the AT&T store and it was a white/grey CaseMate with a built in kickstand I think it cost $38 and did not come with a screen protector. Wish Otterbox made a Commuter style with built in kickstand for the Note 2.

I bought the Ringke SLIM Soft Feeling Premium Hard Case. It's slim. adds very little bulk while protecting at the same time and got it off of amazon for 10.99 on sale from 25.00. I added the Spigen SGP Ultra Oloephobic screen protector and it's totally protected. I love them both.......
Have this:

Goes really well with the Titanium Gray Note 2.
$5 Ionic Position folio-style case off of Amazon. Offers good protection, looks good, and doesn't have a magnetic closure (huge!).
I just purchased a Seidio Active-like case off of Amazon to use until the Seidio Active combo either comes down in price or shows up at Best Buy for 2/3rds of what it costs now.
I also just returned an Amzer Shellster because it was a piece of crap that broke three days in. Spending $6 to return an item that I'll get $14 back for, after spending $5 initially to have it shipped. Really thrilled about Amzer's customer service policies.

Same here. Paired it with the Spigen UC screen protector which was a PITA to install on such a large screen!
Looked a couple of days ago and it wasn't available in the UK, but now it is. Not quite the deal that is available on Amazon.com, but still reasonable.
Ordered mine today and should get delivered tomorrow with Amazon Prime.
Sending my LuvTab back (piece of rubbish) and hopping this moko is what it's been made out to be.
Here's the amazon link... http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00AHBKW2S
Actually, the cover has been on Amazon UK for a couple of weeks, just well hidden Unfortunately the metallic tab threatening to scratch the screen is a deal breaker for me. I'm frustrated, there doesn't seem to be a cheap,quality, lightweight, "pleasant to the eye" Nexus 10 cover on the market. The red and black Poetic Slimline would be my choice if it wasn't manufactured so poorly. I bought my used Nexus 10 off Ebay (apparently part of the first batch sold in UK, November 2012, no creaking, minimal light bleed, uniform screen) and it came with the cheapest GMYLE / Tecknet cover, in pink. I'm not much into pink myself so I decided to replace it but I'm not able to find anything that pleases my eye at a reasonable price. I guess it'll be, at least temporarily, another 7€ GMYLE / Tecknet clone for me, only in black. It's a bit heavy for a plastic shell type cover but it looks sturdy enough. Guess it will have to do untill Noreve decides to lower it's prices to 20-30€ :laugh:
The metal should be fine as long as its not an edge that's touching. I'll update once i've tried it out tomorrow.
Its crazy the lack of quality accessories available. Time will tell though I guess.

Bought mine.
Very pleased.. been waiting weeks for it to become available to the UK
i was worried about the metal but its not touching the screen. i also put a small amount of sticky tape on it to make sure
In the end I opted for the Slim-Fit Multi-angle Folio version which is a bit bulkier than the Ultra Slim, but it looks great in red Ordered mine from the USA site.
I ordered both of them, the ultra slim and the slim. The ultra slim is a piece of garbage in comparison. The slim is very good feeling, whereas the ultra slim feels very very cheap. Mainly my issue is it only attaches at the magnetic clip in the center so that causes the top to slide around when it is being held. It should really attach on the sides as well more like the poetic case does. Also the foldableness is kind of useless since it doesn't work all that well.
Thank god it was only $5.99 for it

Now I might be able to toss the Poetic one.
Looks pretty stylish. £24.99 in UK, currently in stock, plus £5.99 delivery.
EDIT: I've just noticed that it doesn't cover the back of the device, or the corners. It literally just covers the screen, and attaches at the rear.
Think I'll skip it, I was looking for a neoprene pouch anyway.

I ordered one to mess with, I want to see if I can make it into a folding cover like the real smart covers.
I ordered one mostly because it's an official accessory. Otherwise... I can't justify $30 for what is essentially a slim piece of plastic with a magnet
