Video Review: Proporta Mizu Shell case, has become my #1 - Nexus S Accessories

Hi guys,
Got my hands on the Mizu Shell from Proporta after a couple of viewers recommended I check it out. It is a simple (but great!) case that shares a form factor similar to that of the Rearth Ringke or the SGP Ultra Silke. It is sleek and lightweight, but still provides good protection. For the full review, watch the video below:

$27 for that?
I will stick with my $5 TPU that is probably of exact quality

Recommend me a case for i9023

Hi,
I'm looking a case for i9023. I have seen around and still get confused about the thickness of some models being different. So if someone could direct me to the proper cases that would fit perfectly on my phone that would be great.
Things i would like are: Not too big and bulky, I'd like white thin and good looking cases though black will do. Thats about it.
Thanks for your time and your help!
Nillkin white case should do what you're asking for!
nilkin case is the best case out there for i9023. I ordered from obostore u can google it easily. Fyi it took 2weeks for me.

How much protection does this actually have? I can't justify replacing my TPU case which is made for the AMOLED version, but barely fits my SLCD. I want to get it because it looks amazing, but if it can't protect from medium drops there is no point in me getting it.
Guys, thanks for the replies. I ended up looking around and finally decided to get 2 mesh cases fromebay. Igot a black one to fit in with miui's colour scheme and a blue one to fit with ics colour scheme. Thanks for the replies!
There are two types of nillkin cases available. Have a look at obostore

Did you take a look at the Seidio case I love mine with the holster ( belt clip) it's very robust
I use a "CLEAR Soft Flexi Hard Case Samsung Google Nexus S I9023". It fits well, and the quality is acceptable.
Guys, I just bought the nilkin hard case white. Now I just gotta play the waiting game
I didn't get the soft white one that one of you suggested because I wanted a hard plastic one..
But keep the suggestions coming! So that people with i9023 can come here to see different cases available

My silicone case fits my Nexus S just right ;-)
Guys I'm gonna do a review on the nilkin case when it arrives. Can't wait!!

Hi
Someone know if the Ballistic case can fit i9023 model? Someone in this forum seem was able to use it with this model but looking around I found some negative comments about it. The ballisticc manufactor after interpelled can not confirm the compatibility.
Thank you

Hold out for the official cover?

Anyone holding out for the official cover? Or is there a better one in existence?
The official cover is available from the play store but sucks. The flap doesn't stay closed and is just too flimbsy for my taste.
However there are pictures if the Asus Premium Nexus 7 cover that I think looks awesome. I haven't heard 1 word about it though.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
We got one in at work the other day. I couldn't resist the urge to open the box to check the quality of the cover. It went right back in the box. In my opinion, it's not worth the money. I'm spoiled by the iPad smart cover.

there is a new premium case coming out end of the month.
I'm waiting on the premium case. $39.99 seems a little much but it looks pretty sweet!
In the meantime I got a $5 TPU S-Line case off of eBay and I love it!! Can't beat the price I paid for it

Seidio case info

Well i asked and there is a Seidio case in the works. There is no ETA for it which sucks. Its a active case with a multifunction cover.
I have used their products for a while and im happy with them just hope it comes out soon because i need something.

I had one of these for my kindle fire and loved it. I'm getting by with a cheap case for my N7 until the Seidio case comes out.
I'll be keeping my eye out for this also. I've had seidio active cases on mine and my wifes nexus s's for over a year and a half now. They are great and have held up well. I like how they feel in the hand with their grippy silicon like material and they give the device great protection.

Was on their website and they have one case available, without a cover unfortunately.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
They are still not shipping but i saw it. The other one should be the same as the one in the picture but with a cover of course.
Debating if i want to go with the regular active case and a screen protector or the other case.
For those that havent used seidio before. Its kinda like a tpu case. Rubber with a hard plastic shell over it.
I have used them on my phones for a while now and im happy with these cases.

I love my surface case for my phone. The material they use is perfect. It is grippy for your fingers yet slippery in you pocket.

A 'Surface' would be smaller, but it looks good. First to market will get my money. Otterbox is going to lose out it seems.

I tried otterbox with my phone and i didn't like it. I sometimes need to take the case off and that is a pain with otterbox
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2
When I asked them they said there aren't current plans to release a Surface case for the N7, just an Active case.

Hi there! Did you end up getting the case? If so, how do you like it? Did you get the model with the cover? If so how bulky does the unit become with the cover attached? (Either on the front or back).
It looks like there's a recessed section on the cover (to make room for the adjustable stand), but I'm worried that it will add too much bulk to the profile of the N7.
Thanks!

Its not out yet unfortunately. I am definitely ordering this when it comes out. I have the Gumdrop case now, which is nice but it does not have the same viewing options like this one. I cant wait for this to come out.

Suppose to be coming out later today, I just called and they said to call back in two hours. Plus they have responded to my facebook post and said blue and black 10/15. Red 10/17.
Just add this to my list of growing cases and money spent.

Just ordered mine too. I've been waiting awhile for a brand I trusted, thanks Seidio!
I think some of the other more popular case makers missed the boat on the N7.

My thoughts exactly
Sent from the TermiNOTEr 2!
I've used Qmadix for my older Droid line ups and liked them.
I was looking forward to getting one for my Note 2 but the styling was a 180 degree turn.
Having said that, the product did a good job protecting my Droid 3 so the build is most likely there for the product offered for the Note 2. I just don't like the look of them on this go around.
Thanks for the reply, I picked one up cheap. Should be here any day now. Good to know protection is there.

How much is "cheap"? They don't sell them on Amazon, only seems to be directly from the store for $35. Once you get it, can you please post the picture of the front/back and comment on how slippery back of the case is and if there any lip? Really hard to judge by looking at pictures on their website.

Sounds like a good deal, considering it's back to $29 at shopandroid. They also have a very short video of the case. Outer shell looks kind of shiny and front lip hardly noticeable; don't want to jump into any conclusion so let's just wait for your review.
... ps: one of the reviews does state case is very slippery and side grips are not good, as I suspected by looking at it
I tried and it's nice...
I got this one a while back when I got my note and its decent but I dont like the feel of the back. It either feels slick or sticky.

I refuse to buy another ballistic case... The rubber is too gummy and soft like an otterbox. This causes it to wear much more easily, stick to your clothing, and attract dust. Buy a the Supcase... Either the pro or standard unicorn beetle... I promise that you won't be disappointed.
thanks, Interesting point. Does the unicorn beetle offer the same level of protection?

I would have to say yes. I believe there comes a point when the level of protection becomes wasted and these unicorn beetle ones offer just enough... Unless you plan on throwing your phone off a 5 story balcony, but that's why there's a pro version lol. You just can't go wrong spending $15 on one.

Thanks, saw that. After careful consideration, I went with the UAG Maverick. I have an i-Blason clear TPU cover and a Kayscase ArmorBox. Like the first one for being clear and the second for having a kickstand, but wanted to have a 3rd one with Mil Specs protection, and yet be clear if possible, and high quality, so the UAG came on top, at least in paper. We'll see how it works when I get it.
Of course, I might add more cases to the collection in the future, especially if Mophie gets their **** together and makes a juice pack case.
