any TPU case out yet for the Nexus S?
I only see the one on amazon for pre order but they only have 3 colors.
I have been interested too... I like how these things look, I doubt we will see some cases by the end of this month, sadly. It might take a month or two before we see some.... As of now there are like three... I think.

this the only one i seen, they have it in smoke grey, clear and hot pink.
This is what i found but.. minimums are too high.. price seems right tho

eBay has some, all from Japan tho so you wouldnt even get it til next month. im hoping more start to come out because the TPU cases are the best IMO.

Yeah, same level of protection like silicon cases, none of the static/stickyness of a silicon one.
Not Japan, Hong Kong. If I buy one I'll make a review.

a 1.4$ TPU case - gotta worth the money
while I was spending my time going over and over again on the "nexus s case" search result on eBay, found this little thing:
http://cgi.ebay.com/TPU-Silicone-Ca...ccessories&hash=item4aa7e90e64#ht_2436wt_1139
for the lazy ppl among us, thats a 1.4$ tpu case! of course its a HK one, but still, gotta be worth the money isn't it?
anyways IMO this thing got a really nice design, its cheap.. as a person who likes changing his phone's appearance every monday that's really attracting..
the only scary thing is that the seller got a 100% feedback but only 130* feedbacks.. well, willing to risk 1.4$ on that
Just thought letting you know about the cheap stuff coming out to our cool phone!
EDIT: if you're ordering make sure you add a note on ebay/paypal with the color you want!!!
Nice find, ordering.
Damn it, I paid and forgot to put color preference in the note.

I emailed them, hopefully they see it. Hopefully they send me the black one, otherwise it's going in the trash.
Is that a black colour??? ... looked more like brown to me.

lol havn't noticed that! I got the blue one it seems really shiny and cool.. the white was seems good also
I ordered something similar, pack of 4 different colors for $12 shipped, though they're not argyle print. Ordered last week, just waiting for them to arrive now.
ended ordering this too along with the "S" curve case.
Want to see which I would like the best, along with best fitting and feel.
Just got mine from the eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/TPU-Silicone-Ca...ccessories&hash=item4aa7e90e64#ht_2436wt_1139
And yes it's black not brown.
It's actually pretty nice. It fits the Seidio spring holster/best buy platinum case belt clip holder.
So I'll be using this case with the belt clip. Very nice.
One thing though, it is NOT see through like the picture and it does NOT have those patterns. It is solid black inside and out.
I am looking for the best REAL leather case that anyone knows of that will be out. Or even some high quality leather case maker that you have used on another phone that you do not know if it will come out. I am tired of searching and I like the zenus but before I commit to 60+ on a case (I rarely buy cases so this is going to be the one I commit to) I would like to see all the best options and opinions
This is what I've been eyeing.....

Mannnn that is prettty
man, if I could just get that next model:
http://www.noreve.com/langue/en/product/Samsung_Galaxy_Note_2_Tradition_B_leather_case.html
without the snap closure, I would be a happy man. That case looks perfect.
Wish I could find one that for the card slots had a clear cover for one so I can stick my license in it, and have it be visible.
I have this one and very happy with it : w ww.pdair.com/index.php/leather-case-for-samsung-galaxy-note-ii-n7100-flip-type-black-1.html (sorry link restriction for new member prevent to post a working link)

I was also interested in the Zenus case but didn't like the "accents" on the front. There is also Puhama case (Expensive Handmade) ww w.etsy.com/listing/111843451/hc10-hand-stitched-handmade-personalized?ref=sr_gallery_19&ga_search_query=note+2+leather&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_search_type=all

Then you have the ones from China.. Ebay obviously has a lot. This is one of the few that stood out to me ww w.ebay.com/itm/Brown-Deluxe-Leather-Card-Stand-Flip-Wallet-Case-for-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-2-N7100-/130792440457?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1e73d64289
Be warned with that last one, it has a magnet clasp, I was going to tear out the magnet and install a snap if I had purchased the case. I did not want to wait for it to arrive from China though.
Once the Spigen case gets here I will do a review and upload a couple photos. (New member restrictions permitting :laugh: )
Apparently I am no good at searching since I have never seen any of these except the pdair and spigen

No real leather case in recent years I think. Also, it is not a trend. Better get a plastic cover for the case!!

No problem, just another forewarning that it has a magnetic clasp system. It might affect the screen, creating a dead spot while in the case. Not too sure if it can cause permanent issues just know there was a thread going around warning about the issues with magnet cases. I'm also assuming for that price that its faux leather, just another aspect of the case to bear in mind. Other than that it does look pretty nice :good:

Yeah, my hope is the magnet is too weak to cause issues.
This will be my theme park case so I can consolidate my wallet and phone into one.
And for the price I won't mind if it takes some damage unlike the cases that are 4-5x as much.
Let us know about the one you ordered, that can be my professional case... lol

so i decided to say screw it an order the deep khaki color of that case
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

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.
I purchased two of these cases from a company called Strapya. They are made in Japan by a company called Rayout. I modified about ten cheap ebay cases to work with my Samsung flip case by cutting out one of the sides. They looked okay, but I'm a bit OCD, and I wanted something that is pre-made to work with the Samsung flip case. I was not disappointed in these, even though I ended up paying about $35 total after shipping for two cases, an orange and a black case. At about $18 per case (after shipping), it's true they are a lot more expensive than $2 TPU ebay cases, but they have a much different feel. The TPU has a spongy texture that isn't slippery. It's also thicker, tougher-feeling, and weightier than cheap ebay TPU. The cuts are obviously smooth and perfect. I am very satisfied.

The cases took about ten days to arrive.
This does look nice.. When all my flip cases come in the mail I might have to order this

Cos that thread you linked to is about someone modding the genuine Sammy case to fit with the flip case.... Not a case designed to fit with the flip case..... Maybe
Why not just have one thread per forum about cases and let everything get lost in there.

The thread you pointed to is people modifying their cases. If I am not mistaken, this one is about not modifying a case. In my opinion it's not the same.
I appreciate this thread because I have been curious as to how the store bought cases compare to the modded ones. This info would have gotten lost had it been posted in the other thread.
Thanks for sharing photos OP.

Sure. I initially left out a link to the cases on the Strapya website, but I amended my original post. I bought two because the shipping cost is equal to the price of one case. If I recall correctly, you can get two cases, and the combined shipping is the same as buying one case.

The first pic is the back. Not sure what you are asking???
Update: Ok. You said black not back. lol I have had a few beers. I will do that for sure. I just thought orange would show up better.
BTW...Each case also comes with a screen protector. I have not tried it though. Using a Just Like Glass protector. Does a good job but took a month for the bubbles to vanish.

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.
