Hi.
Can someone recommend the best, skinniest and slinkiest back skin for the Nexus S.
Also, can you get bumpers for the Nexus S like on the IP4?
I mainly want something so I can grip the phone better. I find the plastic really slippy.
Oh I'm based in the U.K. so preferably from a U.K. based seller.
Cheers.
I have best skins ever and its pretty good. Also its way cheaper than its competitors.

Best skins ever is amazing. I have them on about 8 of my phones and gadgets.

Just a warning though. It's kind of hard to put on the back because of how curvy the Nexus S is. Having a blow dryer helped me during the application process so it's a good idea imo to have one near.
Hy well if its not to pricey for you, you can look at zagg custom skins which you can order from their site. Mine have arived a week ago and i have just applied them. This is my collection of nexus s back covers;-)

Meh
They are just vinyl stickers.
They look awesome until they start to peel on the corners.
0 - minimal protection for the phone.
Overall, don't expect it to last long if you keep it in your pockets, unless you are really good at taking care of things.
Just my experience though.
I figure itwould still protect it when I sit it down tho

I stick my own semi-transparent skin... cheap and good intact.
Check out this. I don't think the edge can peel off easily

I just got a free one from sprint today. Seems like pretty good quality. I keep my Nexus in a case while at work, but on weekends I normally have it out. I just got it to save the back piece from major scratching.

sprint25 is a promotional code on sprint.com...check the shop all accessories and you'll see the Skinit promotion.
So I've noticed a trend on the forums here that the vast majority of threads here are negative. Of course, there are valid reasons for this. However, I believe that the majority of us are actually super happy with our phones.
I don't want people to come here and think that we all are angry about this phone. I wanted to create a thread that looked good where us shiny, happy people can talk about the great things about this phone.
I know mods have shut down similar threads already, but I figured I'd give it a go. We need some positivity here!
For myself, this is by far the fastest, smoothest phone I've ever had. Not saying a lot considering what I've had, but the ion at least was supposed to be excellent and was an absolute dog compared top the nexus 4. I have not had any of the issue people seem to he complaining about.

I am really happy with it but I need sometime to adapt with the screen. Because I am using super amoled for a while now. Nexus screen way different. What do you think?
I appreciate your thread. Thanks for the positivety. I'm set to receive my phone and I'm ecstatic about it! I hope I don't have any of the issues people chimed in about. :victory:

Time. All you can do is just get used to it, nothing else.

No yellowing from what I can see. I come from a long line of LCDs, so amoled people might notice something I wouldn't. Easily the best screen I've had yet, and the ion was supposed to be amazing.

This case must be hard to find. I had a 3 week old one i sold on ebay last week and it went for $41....the case was only $38 in stores. Its a really nice case. Feels really good in the hand. Some people complain about the kickstand but i like it. Heres a thread i started with some pics http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014892

Only one way to find out
Not there yet. I've been looking and emailed case mate they said just keep looking. looking thanks
my 2 cents
Hi all,
Just wanted to chime in on this case. The protection is great and the side grips make the feel more solid as opposed to slippery. The extended rubber on the face helps when it is facedown or when it potentially drops so it's not flush against the floor/table. My only beef is that the kickstand rubber part has come loose so i'm not sure how durable that part is, it's not that much of a hassle as I can still manage to prop it up but I'm afraid it will eventually break off.
Most complaints are about the difficulty of getting the kickstand out
P.S. all ports are accessible i.e. stylus, charger, headphones, camera, speaker
Raised power & volume up/down buttons
Whats the matter with case makers these days? Release the case with just 2 colors, one is black the other is white with pink. Its exactly like body glove diamond series... ffs have they ever thought men uses with white case too? Why pink?? Could just use red and that would plays with well with both genders...
Nice looking case but have always had the rubber part warp on every case I had. Evo 4g, evo 3d, and the skyrocket. I ended up using the speck case for my note 2. Even if anything happens to it I can exchange it for free at the att store.

Hello All,
My brother is an avid Star Wars fan and has a GN2 as well and is looking to see if he can find a Star Wars case for it. I looked everywhere on Google and it seems that the only cases I find that are Star Wars related are for the GN1 or the S3.
Does anyone know where I can find a few to look through or a vendor that will make one with an image I provide them?
Thanks!

I saw on r2d2 3M gel decal/skin on Amazon that you may want to take a look at. I'm not a huge Starwars fan but it was very cool looking and I'm considering getting one myself. Sadly I don't have a link.

No luck on my refined search, as I found that case only for the Galaxy S2 ....
Hmm. That's odd. Well if I find it again I'll make sure to grab the link.

I would check gela skins, not sure if they have note 2 versions yet but I was able to upload my own photo for my ipad and it looks pretty nice, its just 3m sticker but if you are not looking for bulky case its an alternative

Thank you for the tip, but I'm probably going to wait for a legit case rather than a sticker. I'll pass this on though to anyone I know who is looking for that look though!!!
Yeah definitely get the feeling especially when the case is plastic comparing to the aluminum on ipad, maybe look for similar customizable case, I was in china for business 2 week ago and was able to see some customizable plastic cases, not the greatest quality but I think all image designed cases are typically plastic.
Not sure if there are similar options in the states but for plastic cases they are not that bad I was able to get one for around 3 dollars

$3 lol, Only in China!
Casemyway lets you use your own pictures printed on a case, but their note 2 case is still " coming soon"
Other than that, I know zagg makes custom skins.

Looking to get a maximum protection case for when I'm out on the trails. I thought I had it narrowed down to the Trident and the Poetic until I came across this one.

Does anyone have any experience with it?
Thanks
If you use airplane mode when using that case or your trail is directly under a cell tower, go for it. If not, then aluminum cases degrade the piss out of signal and rape your battery trying to find or maintain a signal, or even worse attempting to transmit on zero or one bar.

Not to worried about bulk , I'm out and about in nature a lot and would really enjoy not having to worry as much about my brand new phone. Especially since I don't have any insurance for it!
