Just want to share a nice white case that will make you Nexus S look like the white version. However, it's currently not listed on CAPDASE's website, not too sure why, but see the attached pic.
I found this on a New Zealand auction site, but haven't seen it else where. Sorry I'm still new here, can't post the full link to the item.
Can you PM the link please. Can't seem to find it.
Actually, I've just found another link that sells this. Remove the spaces below to get there.

I think the case is just see thru, but the phone is in white. The description doesnt mention anything about the white color.
If it's transparent, you should see Google and Samsung's logo on the back.
Here's another link.
http : // www . trademe . co . nz/Browse/Listing . aspx?id=355835867
also found these, quite a few cases, a desktop dock etc, some TBC...
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/cat/Google-Nexus-S-Cases.htm
I have this case but the clear version. It's pretty good, adds some bulk but it seems to be about the same as every other case. I picked mine up in hong kong when I was there a few weeks ago but I was surprised when I tried to find it on capdase's website that it wasn't even listed lol. Anyway I think they have a black, clear, and white version floating around but I only saw the clear in the store I was in.
This one definitely looks white though, and it's not the nexus S they're using is white because you can see the black battery cover where the camera cutout is.
It comes with a screen protector as well, which is alright... peels up at the edges a bit but if you use it with the case, the case will cover up the peeling parts so it won't be a problem. The screen protector does attract a lot of fingerprints though... way more than the naked screen. Contemplating getting rid of it to have the oleophobic back or maybe getting ghost armor.

Nice case...I would love it in a grey smokey frost color.
Anyone know of a hard case that just snaps on the back?
I bought one of these cases from an Ebay seller in the UK. I recognize the ugly red sticker thing at the back (impossible to take off).
I had a clear version, not as white as that... it did have a good fit, but I found it a bit too bulky and now I've gone naked Nexus S again. Still, when I had it on, it gave good protection - dropped my Nexus S a couple of times and it absorbed the shock each time.

OK then,
I was going to get a new housing for my sad looking Ameo. They come in the standard Ameo silver or a rather smart HTC black. I already have a silver case, but here is the question.
Do the black housings, wear, scratch, or paint rub away easy? I don't want to get one and find it looks crap after six months. They ain't cheap! before anyone else says it, I know it depends how you treat it. I'm on about normal wear and tear use. How does yours look now? are there any signs of the metal underneath showing?

Black Case On The "advantage"...
Hey Jay,
I have a HTC Advantage x7501, with the black case of course, and have been using it with "typical" every-day use now for about 6 months. I have never even seen one of the silver cased "Ameo" versions of the device in person, so my review is a bit "one-sided," if you will... Also, I have a friend with whom I work with that also owns the same model as I. With saying all that, and without having experienced the silver model, I would bet the silver model would hold up a bit better on the finish due to the fact that if the silver gets scratched, the metal beneath it looks much closer to the silver finish than the black. I have a couple small blemishes on mine, and I am very particular with my mobile devices, but after using day-by-day at work and home, it has managed to get marked up just a bit. The biggest problem is, if you get a scratch on it, the metal below sticks out "like a sore thumb!"
I definitely believe that the black finish is a bit more professional looking, where sometimes the silver finishes can make a device look cheap or make it stand out.
Anyways, to give you my honest account on TWO Advantage x7501 devices (black finish) after 6 or so months of daily use, it is overall good, and neither one shows any major signs of wearing finish. Also, we both use a case that the device "slides" tightly in and out of each time you use it (without the keyboard attatched), and the device really hasn't shown any real signs of wear on the sides where it rubs the case. However, if you do happen to mark it up in any way, you will definitely notice it. Again, I am very picky, so keep that in mind, but so you have a better idea of what I am saying, I attatched a couple of pics so you can see what it looks like when or if you do scratch or mark it.
HOPE THIS HELPS!!!
-Ryan
Also Note: Only one of the devices I wrote about is pictured, but are very similar in condition, and were both purchased slightly used.
X7501 Cosmetics...
I have had my X7501 for almost 10 months now and it only has one very tiny mark on the top right corner (you have to look hard to even see it).
Since I'm also very particular about my devices (I always keep them looking new) I just used a Sharpie (permanent marking pen) to "erase" the offending mark. This works great and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to touch-up black anodized aluminum like the Athena housing.
Wow! thanks for the reply Guys, Ryan that was one hell of a reply. Must have took you a while to do that and I appreciate it. toyfreak, the idea with the marker pen is a great one. I think on just that idea alone I will get black. Its harder to touch up silver! It looks better too.
Regards
Jay
Indeed is surprisingly hard coating, I carry mine in my pockets and can't say I'm careful with it, rather the opposite, I have it since it came out and there is only a little wear in one of the corners, hardly noticeable, where the scratches are more visible, is on the silver border next to the screen, not that it look bad or anything.
Black housing - Where?
I would like to know where you can buy a black housing for your Ameo, mine needs a new one as well!
And what about your keyboard, can you get a black one too?

Silver / AMEO
Hi guys,
Proud owner of a wonderful brick since 6 months in grey color I should say that if I new I would have choosen a different color.
The grey AMEO housing is far from being "time resistant"...
Since few weeks the "video camera" around the front cam as disappeared and the "Alert" will soon do the same.
I allways take good care of my stuf and I'am bit disapointed for a 1.000 bucks machine to see it !

Hi,
Just a quick update on the new housing. It's arrived, and I put it on. It looks great, so glad I got black. Thanks to those who took the trouble to answer this post so well.
If anyone needs a new housing for their device then let me know and I will let you know where to get them from. He claims to have a few left!

The X7501 does not have the internal or 2nd camera, the X7500 does. So I would have a big hole in my unit if I used that one. I don't know if the inside layout is any different but that's the only visible thing on the external end.
I need a new housing too.

you are talking about a extra case to protect the athena right?, the thread is about replacing the cover / housing of the athena itself, a step that becomes nesesary when you not use case like your nutshell .

(also those two above has a hole at upper right corner. it's like tv antenna for korea or something.)
this one is cheap and slim but don't look like that attractive: http://www.ebay.com/itm/280704959401?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
any other suggestion?
first one have a better look,i like it
ordered the case at the last link. i will review ~3 weeks later
I ordered a similar case from seller 'moonstore_au" more than a month ago.
They are going to either send me out a replacement or refund my money if it doesn't arrive this week.
With that said, be careful of cheap ones!

yes, this is the downside of free, un-tracked shipping. all of my dealextreme.com orders arrived with no problem. i hope this ebay seller won't dissapoint me.
btw, there is no p970 cases at dealextrme. it's really disappointing.
I bought two here, and its perfect:

I bought a standard black silicon case for my device and it picks up a lot of lint. Avoid them if possible.
Just bought: http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo....m1438.l2649&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13153408294445 I'll let you know how it is ASAP...
my order has arrived. perfect fit. you can press hard buttons easily. don't collect dust. white one is looking really good. looks better than black case.
just one thing bothers me. sharp edges at back side are show some kind of trace at white transparent area.. it's not a permanent thing. it's not even a trace actually. just doens't look good. but not a big problem.

it seems very thin and it is hard rubber!
have you guys tried looking around gmarket korea? it's like korean ebay, and because lg is a korean brand you can actually find quite a few varieties of optimus black accessories there. english.gmarket.co.kr. try searching "optimus black" or "KU5900".
I got mine for about USD10, and shipping to Singapore (where I live) was another 10USD (because I didn't buy anything else.. basically gmarket kr allows you to shop from all the korean shops, then consolidates the orders and sends it to you by EMS).
Unfortunately I can't post links and pictures yet. well if interested can just pm me.
If anyone in the US is looking for TPU cases for the LG Marquee / Optimus Black we have high gloss black and high gloss translucent smoke in stock. They include screen protectors as well. I'd be willing to send some free review samples to XDA members as usual send me a PM

but i have a doubt, because the upper left corner is shaped? I have no buttons on that side of the phone
someone who bought it can help me, they seem good quality, is it really so? any advice is welcome
I bought this one & I am loving it.

cool I like this, I wanna buy one.
I've been looking for a back cover for my ob for a long time, not a tpu to be exact, but more like a metallic/hard plastic/rubber back cover for the phone, anyone got any ideas where I could get one?
Hey,
I am always really good with my devices (never really drop em, never scratch em) and what I usually do on my phones is put on a simple silicone case on them and that keeps it safe from scuffs and stuff
Ive been looking around the internet, amazon, ebay, etc trying to find a simple black silicone case for the nexus 7.
I found this http://www.focalcase.com/google-nexus-7-cases-google-nexus-7-silicone-case-c-199_205.html but I'm not familiar with the site and id rather not buy from china (takes a long time)
I understand that these things usually take some time because they have to be molded from the device, etc but i was wondering if anyone has found a legit place on the internet (not some random website) selling these.
If not, i'll update this post when i do find a place and order from there.

Picture doesn't show cutouts for buttons or speakers, but the description says they're there. Maybe just contact them if you're interested and confirm that the appropriate cutouts are there. I have not purchased it, just offering it up as an option. Oh, and it's black, as requested.

Guess what bro, those aren't genuine either even if they say so. If you look at the pics you'll notice that some don't have the htc logo
I have the genuine gray, I bought it when I've got the phone, but I'm curious about the quality of the ones they're selling for $8, that's it.
To be honest they look exactly the same but I would like a closer look. Sellers in Amazon claim that they're identical to the genuine with the exception of the logo.

It doesn't say HTC and obviously an overseas knockoff. In my opinion it's much, much nicer than the OEM version. It will flip open all the way back easily and isn't near as springy. It also works with my .3mm glass screen protector, http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6100440084.html.

Don't use one of these cases for protection period. I can almost state with certainty that if you drop your phone on any kind of solid surface, it will definitely come flying out of these cases. In fact, if you clumsily open the case to fast the device will come flying out sometimes. That is in the original from Verizon. They offer some screen protection while in pockets or bags, but little to no drop protection & even in bags, the top & bottom of the device is not protected from scratches.
It was a little more than I remembered but it's 13$ http://www.ebay.com/itm/221503424128?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
The pictures are of mine.
Beyond that I agree with the post above mine, the dot view case is very functional as an accessory but as a protector it's useless it pops out so easily.
Sent from my HTC One_M8
I ordered this one last night and hope to see it in the mail sometime next week.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/12142505686...49&var=420362064890&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
And I also agree with the two previous posts. I bout the official case back in June and two weeks ago, it fell on a carpeted space and the phone flew out of it as well as the corners that secure the phone popping off. Since I enjoyed the functionality of the case, I ordered the above since spending $40.00 for something HTC will not stand behind (I tried to get them to replace it but was told they would not) was not something I was willing to do again.
I will report back pnce I get it.
I had the fake one with logo and the real deal case I got from a Verizon store. Felt the fake with the logo was just as good. So went to return the real deal case at Verizon. Turns out I mistakenly packaged the fake one and returned that one to Verizon(honest mistake). I had no idea until later when I took my One out of my csndyshell case and popped it in the dot view....So while I didn't mean to do that, I ended up with the real deal case. But honestly the fake one closed better than the real one. That is how close they are.
I'm on the Dot View case fence. I really like the concept but the reviews I've read have kept me from picking one up. Does the flap "loosen up" for lack of a better term after using it over time. What I mean is when open and flipped to the back does it start loosing it's springness that people complain about. I like hearing that the generic's seem just as good as the one from htc. I may just have to pick one up at the lower price.
I had an authentic one, and then recently bought one of those non-authentic ones.
As a direct comparison, they both look the same, but the quality is different. particularly, the dots' translucent level is very uneven, so you'll get random brighter vs darker patches
on the authentic one, all dots have consistent translucency
OME or Knock-off, I wish that someone would come out with one that snaps on decently (even if it used double-sided tape) and maybe wrapped in leather. The plastic makes the phone feel so cheap! I had the original. I have since misplaced it since I got a cheap otterbox knock off for now. Does the job, but I do miss the DotView for the cool factor.

I have an OEM Dot View case and love it. I spent about $15 for it on Amazon. HTC also updated Dot View to add more functionality. And I was surprised yesterday by the Halloween animations. I'm very impressed by it and glad I got it.
SoI received my case today in the mail and here are my findings:
1. The case closes just as well as the OEM one I had.
2. The plastic case itself feels a bit thinner that the OEM one but I like that since I felt the OEM one was a bit too thick and added bulk to the phone.
The "Seams are not as smooth as the OEM but I am going to try and use a nail file and see if I can't fix that my self
4. The "Springiness" of the hinge that is in the OEM is not present in this case as it was in the OEM
5. The cover does not lay flat on the back of the case when opened all the way but I think that is just due to the design of the case.
6. The case seeme to snap onto the phone as well as the OEM case did.
To me, the $8.00 I spent on this case is totally worth it. As a matter of fact, I might order myself a second one to have different colors to chose from. If you think about it, for the price of one OEM you can get 6 of these in different colors and still have $2 and change left over!
I posted some pics of the case but it's hard to see any details.
Hope this helps you guys make a choice.

And I also agree with the two previous posts. I bout the official case back in June and two weeks ago, it fell on a carpeted space and the phone flew out of it as well as the corners that secure the phone popping off. Since I enjoyed the functionality of the case, I ordered the above since spending $40.00 for something HTC will not stand behind (I tried to get them to replace it but was told they would not) was not something I was willing to do again.
I will report back pnce I get it.

Tried searching and didn't see a thread. Does anyone have a Google live case, or has anyone ordered one? Basically a customized case for $35. You can also install the live case app and it will do some kind of android home screen wallpaper wrapping trick that matches the case.
Photos live case - upload a photo to make a case
Places live case - use stylized google map to make a map case
Reading reddit it seems like some people are getting nixed when they upload a photo due to copyright claims. I'm looking at the map cases, they look pretty sweet, not sure I want to drop $35 on a case I might not like, though.
EDIT - I also wish there was an option to have "Nexus" printed somewhere on the back of the case, like maybe in subtle white/black font along the bottom.

I have one. Just came in the mail 2 days ago. It actually fits pretty well, I prefer it to the Ringke Slim I was using. The print looks great. Not sure how well it will stand up to wear, only time will tell. The NFC button is pretty hard to activate, so i just gave up on that. If you have the extra cash and want a unique case I'd say its worth it.
$35 for a case its a little bit expensive, they should down the price, specially to the adopted cases.

If you are using the photo case - just add the "Nexus" (or whatever) text to your image before uploading
