Opinions on this aluminum case? - Nexus S Accessories

Saw this today, wondering what the general opinion is. I'd be a little concerned about the metal case interfering with the antennas.

I was wondering the same, but I found a similar one on ebay, black or silver:
Silver Aluminium Metal Case for Samsung Google Nexus S
Black Aluminium Metal Case for Samsung Google Nexus S
I don't know how much this case will affect reception..
Has anyone tried them?
Also, anyone knows how well this will fit the i9023 (SuperLCD)

Incredible "bumper" case?

Does any manufacturer make a "bumper"-style case for the Incredible? I'm looking for something like the iPhone bumper cases, where the case only wraps around the four side edges of the phone, leaving the back exposed.
I'm really just looking for something to cover the sides and corners - has anybody seen anything like this?
no, and why would you only want it covering the sides?
I have the white battery cover, and I like the look of it, but I want to protect the corners against drops.
Doesn't verizon still sell the clear plastic case that snaps on? Its what I've got on mine. It doesn't obstruct the viewing of the back, and it protects the silver on the HTC logo too (I've heard that'll eventually come off and become black).

Or you could find a cheap case and take a dremel to it.
Look up this case I think you might like it. "Speck Candyshell HTC Incredible"
Boxwave makes a clear TPU style flexible case, like the Amzer/VZW cases. Link below....

Nothing! This thread was made BEFORE I got the Reveal case, made the other thread, or filmed that video. That was my solution.

Replacing the battery door on i9023

I wanted to replace the battery door on my Nexus S 4G with a more textured one. I came across this, which is the battery door for the white Nexus S (i9020). Would it also be able to fit on the i9023?
I'm getting tired of using a case, but if I'm not using one, I tend to drop the phone a lot cause there's no grip with the glossy back...
As I tried out the white cover for the Nexus S 9023, I have to say the white (9020) doesn't fit for it. Near the USB connector there is a small (2 millimeters) space, which is, in my opinion, not normal.
If you are interested I can share the pictures (back) with you and you can see how it looks like on the 9023.
Kind regards,
me
Please do share how it looks like, im also interesting in buying the white one, i got tired of black glossy one.
Hy, how about putting a high quality sticker on the cover? This is how my collection of battery covers for i9023 looks. I have two covers with Zagg stickers, and they improve grip and also look cool They also have a 50% sale that ends today

Not trying to hijack your thread here, but are others here sure that a cover for i9023 will not fit an i9020?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
You can always ask the seller if the back fits a I9023. I came across that eBay back cover a few moments ago then found the same one in this thread, i was wondering the same question, if it will fit - the i9023 is thicker
I have purchased screen protectors from eBay for my I9023 which were made for the i9020 and it was to small for my i9023, not by a lot. So I think they might be two different sized phones.

This thread might help with the phone sizes.

Bumper case or skin for bezel?

I'm not a big fan of the cases, but ran one on my touchpad because of the Shiny plastic construction. I love the soft durable looking back to the nexus 7, but the bezel looks very vulnerable. Is there a bumper style case that would protect the bezel and edge of the screen? Or has anyone found a stick on material that covers the edges?

BobjGear will have one available in a couple of weeks. I've got a few of his cases for the Toshiba Thrive-they fit great and protect incredibly well.
Check out BobjGear.com. He's also on Amazon.
Can't wait for his cases.

I took a look at that Site and it looks much bulkier than I'm looking for. I just want something to protect the silver bezel from falls.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
This is the one i have its not as thick or heavy as the bobjgear case. It will protect the tablet on the corners and the edges slightly.. But it looks a bit industrial . I now wish i had got a different color one . I think if you drop the device inside this case hard and it hits someone other then the corners it could still damage it.
I looked everywhere . the only other one available right now is the UGLY GUMDROP Case... That i have found anyway.

Looking for an Aluminum battery plate WITH a flip cover?

^Title
I'm hoping to get myself a Note 2 soon, so I'm gathering up all the stuff I'd need.
Anyone know of a well-fitting one in existence? I wouldn't mind a full on aluminum/partially aluminum case with a flip cover either. Preferably in white.
I'll be getting the AT&T version of the phablet, if that makes any difference.
Thanks guys.
Don't think there is any aluminium ones around.

Why would you want aluminum? NFC won't work with that.
Sent from my Galaxy Note II
Aluminum just looks and feels great haha. I thought it would be a nice touch. I never used or plan on using NFC though, so I'm not too concerned about that part.
I wouldn't mind a leather flip case either though, a folio type thing.

Exact Prism clear case (similar to Supcase's Hybrid Bumper Case) review with pics

I saw earlier that this case I recently got looks very similar to the SUPCASE hybrid bumper case posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706539
Thought I'd post some pictures then and a quick review, since this case is a few bucks cheaper than the SUPCASE after shipping costs and everything, so you guys can get a deal on a preeeeeetty good case. All the cut-outs are where they need to be, the bumper TPU looks glossier than most TPU that are matte, and the HTC One's back looks slick as ever in the clear back window. Can't ask for much more in a case under ten bucks.

I just recieved this case in blue. Looks good. Hope it doesnt scratch the back if dust gets under. The top and bottom fit a little loose but nothing major.

Just got this case. So far my favorite case. I have the Hyperion, the cimo, the dot view but so far this is my favorite.
I got this case as well, in black. The top and bottom lips are loose like someone mentioned and quite a bit of dust gets under it . Overall the case looks pretty sleek and the clear back definitely shows off the nice metallic look. However, I feel that the case adds quite a bit of weight to the phone. Maybe I'm just used to the cruzerlite bugdroid cases as I've had on my older phones. Does anyone have both the exact prism and the cruzerlite cases and able to comment on their thoughts? :laugh:
Ah, thanks for the review. I have the Supcase one and it also has the problem with the top and bottom lips being a little loose. I wonder if these are all the same cases with just different logos slapped on the back? I dunno... I also ordered the amCase deal, on it's way. Curious to see if that one's any better.

I don't think anyone will be better than the other.. If you ask me they are probably all made in the same plant(or few plants) just some are stamped with the individual company logo and some are not. There are also a bunch of the same type of case on ebay with no brand name. I mean a lot of these cases that these companies brand are just generic cases from China.

My cheapo amCase came in today... It's basically the same design as all the others, but the back is a matte frosted plastic which actually makes the phone more awkward to hold, it's a little slippery. Basically the same exact tpu bumper, but mine has slightly more sag at the top and bottom lips. I like the way the glossy Supcase feels... will keep the amCase as a $2 spare, lol.
Just picked one up... Definitely like how it shows off my Amber Gold while protecting my device. I don't like how hard it is to get the phone in and out of the case.

I have this same case in the same color. My only issue with this case is the volume control buttons are a little stiff. I hope that will fix itself when the case gets broken-in. I love how this case shows off the body of the M8 through the clear back.
I like the quality of the side's. Would love an all matte case. All I've found have a matte back with glossy sides.

I've seen one by Griffin, has the matte sides, but a glossy back, lol. Saw it at an unofficial Verizon store, was $24.99, which is obviously a lot for a case like this. The sales guy opened it up for me, the matte sides were actually kind of slippery, no grip to them.
Nice review, thanks. Just worried as people seem to complain about the gap on the top and bottom. Luckily they're cheap so no big loss if I didnt like it
In your opinion, this the best clear case out there?
I can't really say, as I haven't tried all the cases. However, evidence points to this case being generic and is identical to clear cases from other brands. The Exact Prism case is at a good price though, so I would wholly recommend it, despite the looser fit.
Anyone have the white/clear one? I was wondering if the white stains
