Old G1 sleeve case works great!

Upgraded from a G1 and found that the Nexus S fit perfectly into the sleeve case that came with the G1. The wife was jealous so I found a place selling through Amazon that has them for about $5. I ordered 2 since mine is pretty worn.
Just some added protection, maybe overkill. It is all plastic I figure this can only help. I'm not a big fan of most of the over the phone cases.

got the amazon link?
cheers

Sure, I didn't know if we could link outside of this site.
http://www.amazon.com/T-Mobile-HTC-...EQJ2/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1293042901&sr=8-7
If the link gets removed just search for: HTC G1 case

I'm considering getting this, but before I order, I was wondering if it would be possible for you to please post a few pics of the device inside of the G1 pouch.
Thanks in advance!

Weird, I thought the G1 sleeve was specifically designed and engineered, by the great folks at HTC, to only work with the G1?

The G1 one is to big, I tried it. But if u hold it in ur hand, the phone can slide out.. I use my nexus one pouch. Its a tight squeeze, but is just perfect, for now.

My G1 can slide out of the G1 pouch as well. The G1 is definitely thicker, but their overall length is pretty close. I'm sure there is some risk of it coming out easier than the G1.
It works for me, but YMMV.

Im temporarily using the g1 pouch on my nexus s and it works great.

the Nexus One pouch works pretty well also. I am using that temporarily until i get my phone skin next week.

I hadn't touched my G1 case in years but it is a great fit for the Nexus S.

My links are broken because xda says as a "new user" I am not permitted to post outside links in my messages. That apparently includes images.

We got the new G1 cases yesterday and they are an even tighter fit because they have not been stretched out by a bulky G1.
The way I look at it, they were $5 each shipped. That's it...$5. Most of you just spent $530 on a phone but are worried about spending $5 on a sleeve.
It's not the end all be all, but it does the job well and like I think I mentioned before, I hate those protective cases attached to the unit.

I paid 580 bucks, so I'm sure I can afford the right sleeve n skin for my new phone. Not from my 3 year old phone...

I gave my N-1 to my wife and she has a case so I took the pouch. Great for just sliding in my pocket.

Case Review: REVEAL by Griffin Technologies

I've been on the hunt for a really slim, lightweight case for my Incredible. I have the white HTC battery cover, so I was hoping for something like the iPhone "bumper" cases that allow the back to show through. Since there doesn't seem to be much in that department, I went hunting for the closest thing: the REVEAL by Griffin Technologies.
I really really like it, and couldn't find any other discussion of it, so I did a quick video review, and also took some close-up photos. I promise this isn't an ad, I actually do love this case!
Griffin sells it for $24.99, but you might be able to find it cheaper somewhere else.

I can't really find it anywhere except griffin and bestbuy. I found one for $17.99 from one place but it had terrible sales reviews and I didn't want to risk it.

You just sold me on this so hard. Buying right now. Looks amazing with the white back, I can't wait to show it off finally, haha.

Oh by the way, check it out all. Found a coupon code if you order direct from Griffin Technology's website. The code is PIRILLO1510, it seems to have been active for a few months and you get 15% and free shipping. I can confirm it works. Hope this will help someone else out.

Nice review I was in the market for a case earlier in January but I got one before I saw your review. Then again, maybe if I had a cool white battery cover it'd look cooler. I still have the stock black one.

I actually just ordered one aswell with the discount code mentioned above the free shipping says it only lasts til feb 28 tho cant wait for it!

For those who have bought this case,
How rubbery is the black part of the case? Is there plenty of flex to easily hit all the buttons? Does it feel solid or cheap?

I really like the cases. Cutouts are really good.
The covered buttons work just fine, no pressing by the case itself, which I have had problems out of some TPU cases.
Will definitely be buying more of these cases.
Added more pictures. The RED looks pink with the flash on but it is RED.

These are smooth and, won't/don't get stuck in your pocket like a silicone one will.

These cases look pretty cool. Are they thinner than the regular verizon soft silicone case? I am looking for something thinner.

I have one of those from Verizon.
These are thinner than the ones at Verizon.
Not sure how much thinner. Don't have a micrometer to check.

Bionic Lapdock works!

Just went out and bought one for 50$. Droid 4 fits perfectly with no need to modify anything at all, fits and works.

As an owner of the Bionic Lapdock, and a Droid 4, I must partially disagree.
The Droid 4 does not fit snugly. It does work, but it does not sit flat, and cannot be used with the OEM case. You have to remove the shell case to use the docking mechanism (unlike the bionic).
It is, however, a minor inconvenience for such an awesome accessory. Also, those that use webtop 3.0 beta (from the leak) will find the controlls are not the same on the docks for as they were for the linux based version of webtop.
I still wish there was a tablet-like dock similar to the Asus PadFone.

What are you talking about? It fits 100% snug doesn't move at all. And who uses cases anyway?

Anyone got pictures of this? I would love to see, as I'm tinkering with the idea of getting one if I can see how it looks.

Well, I use a kickstand case/holster combo and yeah, it's not petite, but I'm 6'7" (2m for your Euro types) and 300 lbs (> 135 kg, > 21 stone for you English traditionalists) and it's not outsized in my hand or on my belt.
So, yeah, some of us use cases.
TBH, the Bionic lapdock not being case-friendly isn't the crippling liability. The real seal-the-deal disqualifier is the fact that the Bionic lapdock's touchpad is not multitouch.
(Is this the part where someone goes "Who uses the touchpad?" ?)
I think the appropriate Slashdot meme is "In South Korea, only old people use the touchpad."

I have an Otterbox on my Droid 4 and after some minor modification, my phone fits like a glove in the lapdock at the back without having to take the case off.
(I actually have the Atrix lapdock but they are essentially identical. Actually, I think the Atrix dock is about $20-$30 cheaper, at least where I am; I got it brand new from bensoutlet.com for $60 shipped.)
First, I used a razor to trim off the annoying silicon flap from the Otterbox that covers the USB and HDMI ports.
I removed the cover for the docking interface and slightly bored out the two holes for the USB and HDMI male ends before reversing them so that the phone will mount properly. In order to make them reach out far enough to dock the phone on with the case still on it, I wedged a few slices of a white gum eraser that I cut to fit behind the cable ends so that they stick out about 3/4 of an inch; plenty of room now to slide the phone on while it is in the Otterbox and the newly extended jacks are super solid without any wiggle room at all. It actually feels sturdier than it did before when mounting it without a case on as I find that the bulk of the case helps to fill out the platform the phone docks on.
Now that the two male ends of the USB and HDMI connections stick out slightly further than they used to, I had to get creative in order for the flip-down docking pad to properly close. Took me 5 more minutes to Dremel out two small openings that would allow for the dock to shut, and now it works perfectly.
It's true that the touchpad isn't multitouch, but I use a Bluetooth mouse 99% of the time anyways so it doesn't really impact how much I love this thing. For $60, you can't go wrong!
I'll post some pictures of it shortly, I'm out now and don't have it handy. I'm pretty amazed at how easy it was to do, and it doesn't look like a hack-job at all.

Flygrip

Is anyone planning on getting this for their phone? Does anyone here have the flygrip for the galaxy note 2? It sounds like such an amazing thing to have for the phone but I'm still not convinced it'll be worth the 30 dollars for this. Also curious if it adds much bulk to the phone.

I transferred mine from my N7000 and feels the same. Not much extra bulk given that the device itself is not that small.

I just ordered one actually. Looks like an amazing product that would make the phone so much easier to use the just one hand. I'm thoroughly convinced that it will be helpful. Also, you get free shipping if you use the code QBKing77 at time of checkout saw it from his review video on the flygrip.

Its a regular old TPU case, that is glossy.

Ive had mine for a couple of months and although it does get uncomfortable to hold for more than a few minutes it does allow for one handed use. The stand features also come in very handy when youre trying to read or watch a video while eating or doing something else with your hands. I took it off recently to get a more sleek design and found myself almost dropping my phone a couple of times, so needless to say I put it back on. Also in the beggining it gets some time to get used to, but before you know it it'll become second nature.
