[Q] Nexus S battery cover - Nexus S Accessories

Hello
I got a Nexus S yesterday and ordered the Skinomi carbon fibre skin for it today. Now that I have ordered, coming to think of it I really like the way it looks as it is and as such, I would not like to ruin the OEM look. Is there any place where I could buy a cheap battery cover to apply the carbon fibre skin to? In that case I'll just keep the OEM cover in the box.
Thanks

Cancelled the order; got a clear skin instead.

Anyone try it? is that really about to put Nexus 7 to sleep?
I ordered a blue one on the 10th and it is still showing "shipping soon." may want to try another cover or color if you need it sooner rather than later.
I ordered black and blue case too!

Waiting on the official one to be available again. I can't spend money to put my precious tablet in a case that looks like it was made for cell phones in the 90's. I don't know what it is but all leather cases just look cheap and crappy to me.

Agreed. Looks like something for an old Nokia.
Sorry guys, but is it just me or does everyone in this forum have horrible taste? Every case I see is uglier than the next. This is no exception. Why would you want to add so much bulk? The leather and details look cheap.

So you would prefer one that seems to be all plastic?

I would prefer one like the ipad covers. A simple, classy flap across the screen to protect it from the contents of my backpack, briefcase, laptop bag, or pocket. The brushed aluminum sides and plastic-rubber back don't need anything and look premium on their own. Bonus points if it can be rolled up into a stand like the ipad covers.
I'd prefer a good quality plastic case over the PU 'leather' ones. Though there's a thin amount of split hide sandwiched in there somewhere, the textured polyurethane outer coating doesn't look or feel like real leather to me. I think it turns a nice looking device into something that looks chunky and ugly. Also, the PU covers won't wear like leather (which looks better over time). Instead they are likely to delaminate, have the coating flake off, and look crappy.
+1000, those cases that completely cover it in fuax leather. yuk...
I'm waiting for the Asus case because nothing beats OEM. I think my beautiful Nexus 7 deserves something that enchances its looks and not ruins it. I wouldn't mind a leather or faux leather Asus built case either. I think in the time to come we will be seen a lot of accessories everywhere for our device. Don't rush and buy junk.
Both the black leather Apple smart Cover and the Blackberry Playbook Convertible cases are superb IMO.

I actually owned the Playbook and the Convertible case from Blackberry. It was an awesome case and very well made. That's the reason why I prefer OEM. It's always better.
How are you guys protecting your screen during transportation if you don't have a cover. I agree with the comments about all the ugly cases...wow.

I am still using the plastic wrap the tablet came in when I bought the Nex7. But just ordered up a screen protector and will use that soon and no case.

Best Case for Under $10?

I really need help with this. There's so many cases on Amazon, but I don't know which one is good.
It has to be around the $10 price range, it can be a little over or under. Under preferred.
My Nexus had been naked since I got it in July, let's dress it up.

That's the case I have as well. Paid like $5 for it on eBay and it works great. Not to bulky but feel like it would absorb a fall from 3-4 feet just fine.

I bought the JKase Premium Quality Samsung Galaxy Note II 2 GT-N7100 Streamline TPU Case Cover - Retail Packaging - Clear from Amazon. It was cheap and I was able to get fast 2 day shipping with Prime. (can't post a link yet since I am new)
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.
Case
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.

Need Heavy Duty Protective Case

Hey guys, does anyone know of a heavy duty case that's available for the Nexus 10? Sort of like Gumdrop's Nexus 7 case, or an Otterbox case.
Something that could withstand or at least give the tablet a better chance of surviving if dropped by a child (repeatedly).
I was really hoping that Gumdrop or Otterbox would release something by now, but I've already been waiting for a month or so and I can't bare to leave the tablet at home all the time anymore.
Many thanks and Happy Holidays.
bump?

...anyone?
Seidio said they are making a decision on the Nexus 10 at the moment. I would choose that over a Gumdrop any day. I have one on my Nexus 7. So any one that wants one I suggest you contact Seidio so they know there is plenty of interest.

Hey, thanks for the info! Their cases look great, I went on the website but can't tell whether or not there's a protective layer over the screen, do you know? That's what I'm really after, like how the Otterbox's have.
Thanks again.

I'm holding out for the Otter Box. I had it on my XOOM and it paid for itself over the years because I'm kind of a klutz.
I'm holding out for otterbox too. But I did email and tweet Seidio saying whomever gets it out first gets my money.

Looks fairly sturdy indeed. Looks pretty cool too (imo) I may buy this case... at some point (a little bit too pricey for my tastes to be an impulse buy )
Haha well it's allot cheaper then an otter box will be. I asked them about it they still say they have no plans. :'(

Seidio said they are still deciding whether there is enough demand to the 'active case' for the Nexus 10 like they did for the Nexus 7. Fingers crossed that they do, they are way better than Otterbox. They said the more people who contact them & ask the more likely it is that they'll do it.

Yeah. the Otter Box people always say that when people ask about new device support. They said the same thing about the XOOM, and lo and behold we got a XOOM box, which has been awesome, BTW.

This is actually a good case because it has inner TPU shell. I have a similar one (first one in HERE), and it has soft silicone inner shell which is JUNK!!! Having inner TPU shell will make a big difference in quality and protection, plus you get an extra corner protection from PC outer shell, and a kickstand that you can put your finger through to use like a flygrip, and for $9 from ebay shipped sounds like a great bargain price!
