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.

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 cannot wait until this comes out....looks like otterbox case almost. Has anyone found anything like this anywhere else?

I'm waiting for this too.
I emailed them for a release date and never got a reply back.

Thanks for the info, finally shipping some decent cases, would prefer to have less bulky options tho from other manufacturers.
Just me or am I the only one that finds that case not very attractive at all?
Looks way too bulky.
When it arrives, could you write a review? I'm in need of a case, but with with shipping costs it's at over 50 $, so I want to be certain the case is really good.
PLEASE post pics when you get it
I ordered it last week. I should be getting it tomorrow.

New Active X Seidio case and holster for Nexus S!!
Just got an email from Seidio about the Google Nexus S Active X and the Holster Combo. I don't know if I'm gonna get one but they look alright.
Here's the link http://www.seidioonline.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=K3SSN2
i ordered just the case, no holster, as i think putting phones on belts is kinda lame. but, i hope this thing is still pocketable. I am so rough on phones, an i have decided with the ns that i will no longer switch phones ever 3 months. So i gotta keep her fit. Delivery was just confirmed, and arriving today or tom...will post pics.
10% off your entire order
Hey guys, after seeing this post, I used this code:
DISC2011
It worked, while it is only 10%, it is off your entire order and still better than a sharp stick in the eye.
Any help to the community is better than none
I ordered it last week and it just shipped today.
Monday then? I'm very interested as well.
I received it on Friday... so far so good. Its very slippery. The first layer is really thin and the exoskeleton has a nice touch. The volume and power buttons are covered but very easy to use. Not much bulk and the first thin rubber is a lint magnet. I like it. 8 out of 10.
Presenting to you: Trident's Aegis Case for the Google Nexus 7
Let's Review...
Trident offers tough cases that are proudly made in the USA. I've had several Trident cases in the past (HTC EVO 4G, HTC Flyer, Samsung Galaxy Nexus and now the Nexus 7) I would describe Trident as an Otterbox alternative with a pop of color.
What's In The Box?
Silicone cover
Polycarbonate shell
Screen protector (glossy finish)
Cleaning cloth and applicator card
Aesthetics
I'm a fan of bright colors that stand out, so I like that Trident has chosen to provide color options for their Aegis case. The case comes in Green, Red, Pink, Blue or Black. I opted for the "Trident Green" and am impressed with how bright the case is. The case is just as vibrant as it looked on Trident's website. Trident went with more simplified branding on this case with having only the Trident shield logo in the center of the case and only having the actual "Trident" words logo on the inside of the silicone case. The polycarbonate shell is mostly textured with a few smooth areas.
Protection
This case offers what I'd consider mid-level protection. It has a thick silicone cover to protect from drops along with port covers for the microUSB port and headphone jack. The silicone is very grippy and makes it much less likely for the tablet to slip from your hands. The Polycarbonate shell adds a bit more protection and helps make the case feel much more solid. The only protection you get for the screen is the included screen protector. I'm not a big fan of the glossy screen protector, so I kept my matte one on.
Price
The Trident Aegis case runs $44.95 (+ free shipping on U.S. orders) on Trident's website (www.TridentCase.com) which I feel is a bit steep.
Final Thoughts:
I've only had this case for a day so far, but I don't see myself taking this off anytime soon. My "official" N7 folio case seemed to make my N7 slip from my hands way too easily and the flap would get in the way. I feel much more confident in letting my kids (3 &4) play on my tablet now without the need to hover over them. If you're looking for a case that stands out and offers a bit more grip and protection, I'd definitely recommend you try this case out.
Note: The pics attached were taken from my GNex with flash, so they're a bit washed out.

This is awesome news!! I have an aegis on my razr with 4different color skins and it is my favorite case I have ever had. I also had a cyclops on my x.

the moment its released ill be buying !
I have the aegis for my g2x and it's cracked. Emailed trident and didn't receive a response.

That's weird. I've never had any issues with their customer service. I had the Cyclops case for my old Evo 4g and had an issue with the proximity sensor (it was a yellow case) and they replaced it quickly. I also had a problem with a screen protector not fitting right and they sent me a new one quickly too.

Well I got the cases today. I really like them. I put the red and blue on my kid's tablets. Not even a few hours after I put them on, my daughter (she's 3 1/2), was chewing on the silicon part of the case and cracked the screen. It's sadly funny. They've had their tablets for about 2-3 months and have done great with them. They had Samsung Captivates before they had these. I totally didn't think about the "candy" color and the "gummy" part of the case. And did I have the accident protection for her tablet? No, of course not, DOH! After I get her tablet fixed or repaired, sadly, even though I love the Trident case, I'll be getting a full Otterbox for hers. Nothing chewy on that, lol.

Wow! That sucks. Otterbox might be a good way to go for the little one. I let the kids take over my original iPad when I got the N7, lol. Hope you don't have much trouble getting it repaired.
I'm so pumped!! I just used the promo code and got me a baby blue case. I was going to get pink, but hopefully they will sell just the soft parts of the case separate later on and I'll get it then.

So today I noticed that my green silicone case is starting to stain in all the exposed areas. I've contacted Trident customer service to return it. Has anyone else had issues with other colors staining so easily? I haven't had this problem with my green aegis case for my gnex. I'm really disappointed.

Can anyone tell me how thick this case is and how much it weighs? I was thinking about getting this case but am concerned about the size because I keep it in my pocket during the day. Thanks!

From their site:
Length:8.00 in
Width:5.00 in
Height:0.63 in
Weight:0.32 lb
I'd say its too thick to be pocketed from my hands on experience. Also, the silicone is very grippy, so it would probably be hard to put in or take out of your pocket (it was difficult in a pair of fubu sweatpants). I'm gonna switch to Cruzerlite's Androidified A2 case. Not as much protection, but it better suits my needs.

In assume you meant pocket. I keep it in my leg pocket on my flight suit. It is much larger then a normal pocket on your jeans. However that would be funny to watch someone try to cram in in a pair of jeans. I guess it would not be much worse than a galaxy note II

Finally got mine in the mail today in blue. It's awesome!! I screwed up putting the screen protector in though and got a bunch of lint under it so ended up having too throw it away. I don't need a screen protector anyways. Case looks and fits awesome.

I got my friend to buy a UAG S3 case, over quality and build is nice. I actually like the new design better, sets it apart a bit, plus 10 bucks off with the promo code why not. I went through like 5 cases this one should be a keeper.
I ordered mine because I didn't like the otterbox commuter. This case looks good and seems rugged enough for my needs. That $10 off code seal the deal for me. I hope this one is a keeper.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
For me its the feel and quality of the case. I don't like trendy hip cases. The design is what it is and I still bough the case because I have previously used a case from UAG. I would get an iPhone if I wanted cool design cases.

I ordered mine because I saw a lot of very positive reviews about their design and build quality. Not to mention the design looks very modern. There are only so many TPU cases you can own before they go stale. haha. I really wanted a Speck Pixel HD case, but it's been a while and hundreds of votes later they didn't really care. So I moved on. UAG case looks fresh, while the Case-Mate Tough case looks a little boring. One thing i loved about their tough case was all their silicone colors! I used to have it for my 9700 way back in the day and it was awesome to have so many colors but now they make a few and that's it. So... Pay 47 dollars (with european shipping) for a black on black case that's a little dated, or pay 30 dollars (with free shipping, so 23 euros that was taken from my bank account this morning) for a new design. hehe. I hope this is the case for me!

Well, at least they ship to the Netherlands for free.
Just ordered a black one.
Now I have to search for a way to put a metal plate inside to use it in the car (magnetized car holder)
Currently I am using the Tetrax car holder, but that means a (small) metal knob on the back. This way the phone cannot lay flat on the table. So, I am searching for a car holder which can hold the phone with that metal plate inside. (I once saw something like that, bu can't find it anymore)

a red one and a blue one. they were like 8 bucks a piece on amazon
i like em. good grip. red one i can just barely see through, not so with the blue one. idk if these will prevent a screen crack but i know i feel more confident in my grip on the phone with them on it.
pics below
moar pikz
BTW if it's not clearly visible, the cases are matte in the center of the back, shiny/polished all around the edges
Nice pics. Thanks for uploading. Can't decide which color to get. I wanted the white because of fingerprints, but will probably keep a case anyway. Then i am trying to determine which case to order myself. I am mad T-mobile is not selling in the stores until the 25th. If i order online will not arrive until the same time, so looks as if I have to hurry up and wait. lol
