I just bought a new case off of eBay, one that looks like the incipio feather case but a lot cheaper. It was $2 but it took 2 weeks to receive since it's from Hong Kong.
Quick review - it fits really nicely and the inside is smooth and even so i'm not too scared of it scratching the back cover (which btw is already pretty scratched). It has a rubbery coating which feels really nice and it doesn't bulk up the phone too much. Overall the fit and finish is great, definitely a steal at $2. I really like it and as you can see in the pics, it looks pretty good (sorry for the bad quality pics, I didnt have a camera nearby so I had to use my laptop's webcam)
What do you guys think?
Here's the link to the one i bought if anyone's interested:

Thats a bargain.
Might have to set up an ebay account finally just to get this
The white and black look looks really good. That's a deal.
Alright so after one day of use there's a problem : the case is a stain magnet. Seems like everything just rubs off onto it. And you can't clean it off. I guess I should've gotten a black one.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110763559580
Only £1.85, cheap and cheerful gel case. Does the job.
Just picked up this one of eBay only £2.90 will wait to see what it is like.
I did receive the Case mate tough case for the XL, as when i went to put it on, it wouldn't fit, none of the buttons would match, and none of the ports would match either, sending it back today.
I do hope they sent me the wrong one, but on the box it did say it was for the Sensation XL ???
I used one of those s line cases with a Sensation and Evo 3D which i had from work. They're indeed cheap and do the job perfectly. The one for the Evo 3D had a weird little bump in it, which turned out to be a bit of red silicon from another case that had got stuick in the press.
It got moulded inside the black silicon of the case i had bought. no major issue, and was fine once i'd cut it out, tiny little hole, but that was just me.
but hey, for less than £3, it's not exactly a hardship if it's not perfect, now is it?

Just had mine delivered, fits really well, for £2.50 you cannot go wrong, i spend at least £20-£30 on a case for my Sensation, but from now on i will but these cases.
It does the job very well indeed.
What I really like about the Nillkin TPU case:
+ Its very nice to hold due to the texture on the sides
+ Its easy to slip in and out of your pocket, yet its still pretty flexible
+ The cutouts are perfect
+ No problem using the keys, they still *click* on press
+ The part thats slips around the bezel of the phone is quite thin (compared to other tpu cases), keeping the phone itself, when layed out face down, protected against sand etc. but doesn't add unnecessary bulk.
I guess TPU cases get better as they go as this one is the best Ive used so far
Hop this helps someone

I ordered one last week, always handy to have a spare case.
Just have to wait for delivery.

Does it have any texture on this case? And same question about the thickness
Nah, no texture on this one. Is smooth. still fairly grippy though, i find all these silicone/tpu ones are fairly grippy.
as for the thickness, it's about 1 - 1.5mm thick. pretty much the same as all these cases are. yeah, it adds a couple of mm, but nothing major.

Nice... Gonna use this until the Capdase one is available
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005VJZMLC
I've got this case, £3 with the postage, couldn't be better.
And it's a pretty good quality case too.
The phone looks pretty good in it, and it's much easier to grip the phone now. Much more comfortable to hold.
You get a screen protector with it aswell, although, I'd buy some other one, as I did, because the one they give you is rather bad quality.
some photos:
Just received my NILLKIN TPU CASE, and i must admit for the money very nice indeed.
Holes are all in the right position, and it feels very grippy, i cannot see it slipping out of my hand at all.
Bugatti slim fit case Sensation XL
Hi people
If anyone feels that they would like to hang to the elegant slim lines of our smart slim sensational XL... why not have a look at the following...

Wishing happy times to you all

Hi,
just received this case : http://cgi.ebay.fr/Hard-Cover-Case-...PDAs_Etuis_housses_coques&hash=item35b8306dda
(but not from this vendor, got it cheaper from hong kong, but longer to receive it...)
The case is great for the price. Very low-keyed, and quite good-looking.
Now i have to find a good screen protector, but this is more complex i think
But this case gives a good result for the price.
Ciao
Fred
Edit : found the good link.... for the price, great piece of case.

Excellent - HTC Sensation XL Shell
Long time lurker here. I recently bought this shell. It's a satin-finish plastic. (At least I think it's plastic.) It provides better grip, looks good, and is very slim but offers no drop protection, especially on the corners. It goes well with the XL's styling. Just thought I'd put up some pics since I didn't see one like it here.
Capdase
I've had my eyes on the capdase cases, anybody on here have it and have any problems? Cheers

I like capdase case, Hong Kong Top Brand, look at this one, Capdase Soft Jacket Xpose Case for Sensation XL.
I have one that's not bad and its basic rubber like, its back makes it look like the Sensation :thumbdown:lol so any opinions also if there is a great thread on this a link would be good?
Thanks

looking for a flip case or just one to cover the back? unfortunately there's not much choice with our phones
I have this one, it's cheap and pretty good
I use a black leather flip case by PDAir. Costs roughly $28, great look & feel. I've used PDAir cases for my earlier WM phones, so I'm happy with it.

Similar here, using S CURVED GEL CASE COVER FOR HTC Incredible S. Looks, feels nice and it doesn't make phone bulky. For screen I went with cheapest Matte Anti Glare protector. Survived a couple of drops (~2m) on tiles and still works like new (so I guess this would rate as Good )
Ive got the S one too, its got good grip, the sides are a bit rough so theres great grip.
It kind of breaks it up on the back too, I think it looks a bit weird without the case
It adds better feedback for the buttons too
I had This, very nice
I have the case mate barely there,I guess it won't protect very much, but it came with my phone when I bought it (used).
For screen protectors I use HTC Original ones bought on ebay.de (about 3eur 2protectors) they are nice.

It funny because I can't use the phone without it, I think it's too thin/slippery maybe because I had the phone with the cover since I bought it...
Otterbox defender.
Next best thing to Nintenium. Not cheap though.
I use the casemate barely there cover and a HTC original screen protector too. Reasonably good protection against scrapes and scratches, no extra bulk but won't protect against a hard knock or a drop I reckon.

just the same as me.
But I am thinking of buying HTC S510 pouch too.I saw one of a friend's HTC HD2 and it was amazing.
For prospective buyers from England, I got me a" iGadgitz Dual Tone Black Durable Crystal Gel Skin" from Amazon
Cheap cheerful, pretty solid and has a screen protector included. Great!
None! Thats the best one.. especially for the inc s.. Give thx to the surface. 1year using, Nov scratches.

I am using an Otterbox Commuter case.. The back is very similar to the device itself, but it adds a little bit of bulk to it.. (not much though). This case protects your phone against pretty much everything except for water (offcourse). I even dropped my phone once of the stairs and you couldn't even see it. Another good thing about this case is the fact it has two layers: rubber and a plastic case around it. The positive thing about this: the rubber also protects the earphone jacket and micro USB-plug against dust etc.. That was one of my main reasons to go with this case.. not the cheapest though, but it is excellent! Also comes with a screenprotecter btw..

Hey guys I recently stumbled onto a new brand of cases. The brand is called imak and the cases they look pretty nice. They currently have 3 types of cases for the nexus 7.
The first one is called the imak slim. You can eBay search it as there are multiple posts of this case. Its like the incipio feather but much cheaper. It looks pretty high quality not like other eBay cases.
Price - $13.20
The third one is the imak cowboy. Its basically the same as the imak slim but with a more rugged texture. Same as a above just type in imak cowboy to find the case on eBay.
Price - $14.30
The third one is my favorite but a little more expensive. Its called the imak luxury. It is really good looking and is made from genuine leather. It looks awesome. The problem is that there is only one posting and it is shipped using economy shipping. Which could take up to 4 weeks to come. I'm going to be ordering one of these. The quality of the case is amazing. BTW there are only 9 left so get em while you can .
Price - $22.99
Ohh and did I mention you get a free screen protector with each case.
All these cases are on eBay.
I don't know man it does not look like good quality. The texture itself is not smooth and looks very tacky. I am not sure if I would be comfortable with a brand that says iMak on my Nexus...lol. It is cheap though compared to the other high end quality cases like the Noreve. That case cost me around $70 which is ridiculous price but you get what you pay for. The biggest thing I would be worried about is that this thing is coming from china. You might as well get the Speck nexus case for $35 which is really nice and genuine. Good Luck
I'm going to go ahead an order one of the slim cases. I will report back once I receive it.

Please report back with a review or some pics of the slim case. Im also thinking about it.
I'm going to get a blue slim case and a grey cowboy case. You can get them much cheaper at this site. Will post a review of both of them once I get them.
http://www.obostore.com/index.php?m...ription=0&categories_id=&keyword=imak+nexus+7
I used imak cowboy for my S3. The quality seems quite good and I like it because it's so slim and provide good grip for S3. Will try to look for nexus 7 cover.
I think you can buy better looking better protection for the same or less money, those slim cases you link to are basically book type covers without any edge protection
