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.

So what are your thoughts, will you use a case with your NS? I have been using a HTC Desire without a case and not a single scratch on it (touch wood), but it also utilizes more scratch resistant materials.
Well I think we should base it off of how the current Galaxy S phones do without a case on the back. I do not want a case, but if the back is going to scratch easily, then I would consider it.
I hope it comes with a neoprene pouch like the original Nexus One does...
Based on the unboxing videos the Nexus S does not come with any pouch.
Best buy just listed the accessories they will have available on launch day. Not very impressive at all, mostly generic looking accessories.

Are you f'ing serious? You don't deserve to buy a Nexus S if you buy that thing.
almost all of those are just generic cases that will fit any smartphone. Probably gonna be a couple months until we see specific nexus s cases.
Anyway, for me i'm going to be getting an invisible shield for the front and a zagg skin for the back in a little custom design by me.
I'm going to use a Case-mate Barely There case without screen protector (in order to protect the back cover from scratches when I lean it on a table etc., for a better grip and for a minimal drop protection without being bulky) and a Mofi pouch (to protect the screen and the camera lens when I put it in my pocket).
Well... if they'll release such products for the Nexus S (but I do think so).

Case-Mate will release products for certain phones if there is a demand. There was a poll for the Vibrant and got about 400+ votes I think. Case-Mate ended up making cases for the phone. So it's still possible.

Case-mate Barely There ftw! had one for my N1 and sticker bombed it, all awesome
When I was using feature phones I went threw them at a rate of 3ish a year. Since the original iPhones release? I havent had a single issue with smartphones....but I suck at being nice, so I'm really really careful. I am not planning to grab a case (despite the fact that BB put one in my bag and charged me for it without asking) for my NS. The thing is plastic as hell. I have like 20 bowls that have been through my dishwasher at stupid temperatures and had no issues. Im not worried.

Seems like a Seidio case? Any thoughts of you early shoppers?
EDIT: Added pics I took
EDIT: It is a Seidio case as written on the bottom of the packaging. Looks like a Seidio Innocase Surface combo with Spring-Clip Holster.
I didn't see any accessories at the BB I went too, but then again, I didn't search for it well either.

Works fine for me.
I saw it, and thought it was way too cheap looking. Plus I hate cases with belt clip. I'll wait for a nice case to hit the market. I'm sure it won't take long.
I bought it in store, I love it. This is exactly the Seidio Case. The belt clip is reverse, the phone goes in reverse (screen in).
i almost bought it. gonna buy it after work lol
just got my nexus S and the bestbuy mobile i went too said they didnt have it in stock/
I got it and besides being a tiny bit flimsier than my deodorant case it the same. That and it's a front and back snap case versus' the sliding one on the nexus one.

seidio makes Platinum cases (look at bottom of packaging)
I also picked up the Platinum Case for my Nexus S but am thinking of returning it within the return policy period should a better case become available.
Doesn't add a lot of bulk to the phone and the holster ain't that bad either. The holster + case ain't as bulky as my Nexus One with the Otterbox Defender.
Can someone take a couple nice pics, front and back on the S, front and back just the case, please?
I have it also and I will be replacing it with something else as soon as I can find something.
To me it feels loose around the phone and slippery in the hand.

The more I look at it the more I can tell it's an overpriced POS. ZAGG has full body shields for order on their site maybe i'll just do that and go naked/sheild. This BB one is going back.
BestBuy charged me and put it in my bag with the phone without me even asking. Had to raise a stink to get it refunded too. Looked like a crappy case that they always try and pawn off on new purchasers
I repeat. Its made by seidio. Its the same you would pay $40-50 for direct from seidio.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I like Seidio's where they're in 2 halves (top half/bottom half) and it slides onto the phone, and there's felt in the inside of the case, this does not.
The phone sorta bangs around in there, I inserted a piece of paper, now it's tight.
Still a deal for $34, with the price Seidio sells them normally (with belt clip).
I bought it just to get me by until a real case comes out. It doesn't fit tight and feels real cheap.
I bought the Platinum Case when getting my Nexus-S at Best Buy Mobile yesterday, hate to drop it on first week, and have a damaged nexy. After having it for a day, I was like man, this phone feels very crappy, quality wise, like loose and shaky.
So for the hell of it I took the case off. WOW !!! Very nice phone was hiding under all that plastics, the naked Nexus-S feels very solid and well put together. It was the case that made it feel ****ty.
I still have her in the case while working, will just take it off at night when at home. But would like an Otterbox "Impact" series, slim and tight rubber case. It's these 2 pc connected type cases that sound and feel loose and crappy.
I think gel cases are better for such phones.

Yeap I got it.
+1 for gel or silicone case. i have a black silicone zenus case on my vibrant and absolutely love it (and i've dropped my vibrant twice since owning it). I made the mistake of buying different cases (leather, rubberized crystal, etc) and never end up taking the zenus one off. and anything outside of a gel skin adds unflattering weight and thickness to these very sleek, thin phones. i emailed a zenus seller today to see if they were aware of any nexus s cases on the horizon.
I sent an email to Case-Mate to see if they'll be making a case for the NS. Hopefully I get a response soon.

I hate cases. To me, putting a case on a phone like this is like bringing home a beautiful, sexy woman and then putting a fat girl suit on her.
I just returned mine as well. That case was not worth anything near 35 dollars. I'm using my hacked up nexus one sleeve now and it works great.

If you carefully apply 4-5 thin coats of PlastiDip you can very easily make your own soft touch battery cover. I'll be posting photos later in another thread.

http://shop2.sprint.com/NASApp/onli...ryID=CZS5478Q&topPageNumber=0&subPageNumber=0 im going to try this out tomorrow,had one for the galax.1 and the infuse,slim and good protection and grip,of course i will get screen protectors!!
I bought this case at the Sprint store the day I bought my phone just to have something to protect it in until I figured out what I wanted to do as a long term solution. This case ended up being that long term solution. It is very light and thin yet I feel provides a lot of protection on the corners and sides of the phone as well as protruding higher than the glass front of the phone in case the phone is dropped face first. I like the texture on the back of the case a lot in terms of my ability to hang on and use the phone with one hand. This case is a keeper in my opinion.

I also got this same case on release day, it's good case the design on the back gives it good grip. Like stated before it is keeper. But for me I gonna go with something a bit thinker just so I have a piece of mind. hopefully BG makes a tactic style case like the one for the gs3.
these don't look bad in the glacier color.

Picked one up from sprint as well and i really like it Offers nice protection, grip, and feel. I also got it to hold me over until i found a case i wanted for long term but may end up keeping it, it all depends on if my flygrip sticks well to that textured back.

Any chance this is available for international customers?
The body glove that is.
I too picked one of these up at a Sprint store. I had to go to an official sprint store, the affiliate store I checked first said there weren't any cases being made yet. I paid $26. I agree with the above comments, it's quite nice, although I'll go with a water resistant (siedo/otterbox) whenever it comes out. I did have to trim the top edge of a couple of my microusb cables, I thought about trimming the case but it's pretty thin there, and I only had to very slightly bevel the plastic of the cable. I've had the same problem with my Nexus 7 so no biggie.
Yeah i just bought one too and this thing is too flimsy for my taste. I got spoiled by the Speck case for my Note 1. But i had to patience. Couldnt keep my phone in a plastic box for 2 weeks.
I would LOVE to have a Speck - the Speck case for my 80G Ipod looks like a tire!

Yep, I like this case a lot also but can't find it in France or elsewhere in Europe...
Also, this case isn't super rubbery feeling. If that's what you're looking for then this case isn't for you. Personally, I don't care for silicone cases because they get stuck in my pocket and and too rubbery feeling. This case is a bit more pvc feeling and isn't rubberized. I didn't think I would like it, but it's pretty solid. It's a bit more expensive though.
This looks close to what I am looking for. Is it one piece? Seems like it would just slide out ?

Yes it's one piece. Goes on like a TPU case does, just wraps around the phone
Sent from my SPH-L900
the only disadvantage is it doesn't have the raised areas over the buttons. that's key on the samsung case. I would much rather have the textured back on this one though. It feels great overall, slim, light, and makes the phone feel solid. I wish there was some compromise between them.
So has anyone found a way to get the body glove outside US? It seems to be perfect for my needs. Slimmer and prettier than the samsung tpu case. I've searched but nobody ships it to Europe. Is Sprint the only store selling it? Do you think the case will become available wider or should I just buy the samsung tpu?

I like the case too. You can order from sprint.com no matter where you live or order over the phone from them.
My cousin just got the GNII 2 days ago, and he too rapped it with the Bodyglove case. So far he likes the case a lot. For me when I get the GNII on 12/1, I will be going the Otterbox Commuter series case route. I will not take any chances when dropping $299 with a 2 year attachment, lol...
I have one, feels awesome. Just wish it had the covers over the buttons. other than that, no complaints
Hate
I hate the cases with covers over the buttons. Takes away from the feel of the phone and having to press extra hard to get a response from the buttons sucks. I have never had a BG cover that I have ever liked. Seen this one on the Sprint sight when I ordered it and it looked good so I gave it a shot. I have had 6 different TPU cases on other phones and this case is the best I have used. So I don't find it a down fall at all the buttons are not covered. Plenty of grip. Raised areas cover the camera and screen edge perfectly. Get it and you wont be disappointed! :good:

No we can't. Sprint.com doesn't ship outside US. That's the problem.
"Orders cannot be sent to PO boxes or international addresses."
Once I got my T-Mobile Note 2, I searched the interwebs for a case that would protect the phone and make it less slippery. The quest was not an easy one, with barely any cases available, and most being replicas with different names. Additionally, none of the ones I saw offered protection around the corners, something that I find 100% essential on a case.
So after several hours on the general Galaxy Note II Accessories forum and several pages down the Amazon hole through multiple search keywords, I found the perfect case, for the time being. The case is a basic TPU S-line hybrid with an added kickstand. Nothing new or revolutionary, I'm sure, but given the lack of choices as of yet, a good one nonetheless.
The case protects, as commented, all 4 corners, and it protrudes enough that it lets you place the phone face down without suffering any damage on the screen. The kickstand works, though this is also the biggest caveat I've found.
The kickstand is on a hinge, and, to keep the case as thin as possible, the kickstand is embedded into the case. This wouldn't be such a problem, this happens on the Seidio Active, for example. However, the case is so thin that the hinges protrude too much out of the case, causing this to be the main point of contact with the surface when you place the phone on its back. It's irritating because one would hope a case would make the phone less slippery when placed on a surface than the original plastic, but hanging from two small pieces of plastic is not much better. There's always the placing the phone on its kickstand position, and that's fine, but don't think about pushing the phone hard on this position, or you'll cause the hinge to let you shift the phone to the "second" position, and, if pushed further, down to the ground.
The kickstand hasn't broken yet, but leaves uncertainty on how long it'll last. The black part of the case is grippy, specially on its sides, with the semi-see-through material being more slippery (though this is not an inconvenience, really).
All ports are well protected, but not covered, so no worries about echo issues like in other cases.
The kickstand is perfect for watching movies on the beautiful 5.5 inch screen.
The durability of the case is debatable. While I'm sure it'll withstand some falls, its purpose is more of a "now it'll not slip off my hands every time I pull it out of my pocket" than "let's toss this sucker from a 20 ft window"
This case more than serves its purpose, and at $5.98 including S&H (shipping from MN, USA), it should be in everyone's short list of capable though cheap cases.
If your phone is naked awaiting a case that fits your immediate needs, this will suffice. If you're looking for something that protects better, is more elegant, and of a known brand, the Seidio Active with Metal Kickstand is my #1 choice. But meanwhile, until it is released, I'd rather have this $6 case than go "naked".
I'm waiting for Amazon to accept all my images that I uploaded so I can provide you with images.
In the meantime, you can check out my Amazon Review here.
>>> It comes on either Black, Blue, Pink, Purple, White. I think I've also seen red, and I'm sure you can also find it on eBay.
>>> Black one seems to be "Unavailable".
Did it come with that screen protector you have installed?
I ordered one from china might get it next year LOL and also ordered another for a note 1, hopefully is as good as this one, I've had the S-line case on my S3 and even tho it was cheap i loved it.. you keep the slimness of the phone witch is important having a 5.5inch screen on the pant pockets isn't fun, imagine adding 1cm of case might aswell get the iDevice-mini.
thanks for the pics now i know what I got into...

Yeah I tried to do it so that the selling company was located in the US, just so it wouldn't take so long to arrive because I was holding the phone naked and it was slippery as hell.
The screen protector is a SPIGEN SGP Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Screen Protector Clear Steinheil [Ultra Oleophobic] [2-PACK]
Personally, I don't think the protector is the best, but I feel more comfortable about using my phone now. The safer the better. I got a scratch on my S2 with Gorilla Glass, because I figured "oh Gorilla Glass...don't need a protector". I tried to put protector when I first got it, but failed on 3 accounts. It just didn't look good. Wore it for a while till it looked even worse and I just simply removed it. And of course... Sh*t happens.
So this time, I ordered protector same time as case. Except it is fulfilled by Amazon so it took 2 days free shipping. I think the price is high, AND I have 2-3 bubbles that don't go away. Really, they aren't bubbles. They're specks of dust, and the surrounding area does not stick to the screen. I've thought about using the second protector but...uh I don't know.
"But it's Gorilla Glass 2, you don't need protector!" Not gonna fall twice for that. "But it's gonna interfere with the S Pen!" You know what, I think from time to time it does interfere. I've noticed sometimes while drawing that I might lift the pen but it still draws on the screen. Not sure if that's due to the screen protector or not...
Anyway, best of luck. Protect your phone with the first thing you find in the meantime until you get your case!
i see there's a minor bump on the kickstand that prevents the phone from laying perfectly flat on it's back. Is there' a slight wobble to it if you lay it flat and touch one side?
I just got this case in today and Im happy with what I got for the money.

well....
Since I got the Note 2 from t mobile on the day of launch, the store was not carrying any cases so I went ahead and ordered a cheap plastic case from ebay and ran to the sprint store where they had ONE SAMSUNG OEM FLIP CASE and purchased as well. As everybody knows, this samsung OEM case DOES NOT PROVIDE SIDE/CORNER protectio and since I HAVE NO GRIP hands, I had to have every kind of protection available so I integrated both covers. Here are some sample pics. I will keep this on until I get my SPIGEN case!!!!
p.s. I know it looks kind of ghetto but at least I am protected!!!

yeah I tried that with my GS3 it was too ghetto for me lol
Is this TPU case thick? I prefer thick rubber case to protect it more but might consider this since it has a kickstand

It really is thin. This may not be the best for you, but I'd say just because of the kickstand, it may hold you over until you find a better one. Personally looking forward to Trident Aegis and Seidio Active. There's also Otterbox...
I got the same but the phone won't fit well. If I manage to fit the top, the bottom won't. If I do the opposite the top won't. Did yours had this problem?

Sorry, can't help you there. I really had no problem whatsoever putting this one in. I've taken it out about a dozen times, and I've never had issues taking it out or putting it back in. I ordered the Seidio Active case, so this one will be retired soon. But while using it, my only complaint was that the stand was not reliable. That's about it.
You might want to contact the seller and get a replacement. Looks like there's something wrong with yours. Also, make sure that all ports/buttons line up, and that they didn't send you the case for the wrong phone or some such.
Good luck!
This case is "unavailable" on Amazon but there are a million of them on Ebay, in all different colors. I got one in clear because I like to show off my phone, not the case, although I know from my old iPod case that I actually like the look of a clear glass-like edge around the sides.
I just wanted to chime in that if you get the clear version, beware that it *will* stick to the back cover of the phone. It's ugly because you get these big blobs and patches, and I found it immediately unacceptable. The case only cost me $5 so I just tried sanding it down on the inside so it wouldn't stick... which technically worked, but now it's even uglier. Yeah, I ruined it, but I couldn't see using it the way it was before. I was also concerned that over time, it'd stick so hard that I wouldn't be able to get it off. Already, whenever I'd take it off, I'd hear a "crack" as it unstuck from the back cover. I'm actually still using it after the sanding and it works just fine and doesn't stick anymore, but it is ugly.
My advice is to get a solid color version of this case if you get one, and still sand the inside of it so it doesn't stick. (Though make sure it's really opaque if you sand it; if it's clear at all, you'll see sanding marks.)
I really like kickstand cases but I'm thinking now of just getting something that gives me a little better grip on the phone (like a textured back cover) and then either not getting a case at all, or getting another one of these and hoping it doesn't stick to a more matte back cover.
for those who don't like the gloss look, how about:

available in other colours too

No, I don't have one sorry.
I just spotted it on ebay last night and thought I would post it here as an alternative for people to consider when I saw the thread earlier
I do have it in my watchlist and may purchase later, but at the moment I'm using a FlyGrip and a plain matt tpu case
The kickstand looks a bit more flush on that one. Does not seem like there is much texture in the TPU for grip though. I will let someone else be the guinea pig, but I am curious to hear about it.

Me too, I'm very curious about this case...

They have that one in clear now too.
It looks frosted so it probably just has a matte texture that makes it easier to grip.
I found another clear TPU case similar to the first kickstand one but minus the stand and with all 5-star reviews on Amazon... found the same case on Ebay for cheaper (under 5 bucks) so I'm trying that next. If that one still creates unsightly stickiness, I'll just go for a clear hard plastic case. I've used one of those on my iPod for literally 5 years and they are surprisingly effective and look perfect.
LOL. I ordered the clear one to try out. I am so weak and have no will power.
