Hey,
Having some trouble finding their official statement, but I am sorry to have to tell you there isn't and there won't be an Otterbox case for the Nexus S. Their excuse was something along the lines of the flash being to close to the camera and they couldn't come up with a solution that wouldn't end up messing up your pictures, or something like that.
I recently purchased a Platinum (that Best Buy brand) case, after already having my phone for almost a year and never having had anything happen to it. It's a really nice case and all, but I just find it unecessary. Any how, if you are interested in still getting one that resembles an Otterbox, check out some videos by this kid, might help you out. The Seidio Innocase Active X that he reviews is the same one that Best Buy sells, just under a different name.

I really love seidios cases but im alittle worried about this one cause of there pos platinum cases scratching mine so bad i went to best buy an demanded a new phone, so i would really like to see some feedback before i decide to get one
can u provide the link of it ?? i am not able to find it
Thank you
Its at seidioonline.com
Isn't that the same as the terrible Platinum case?
It's exactly the same as the Platinum Case. We just need someone to buy it and see if it's got the felt lining inside though.
This is what I want to know, if it has felt inside

Do we really need a thread just to announce that they're shipping cases? There's already a thread made specifically for Seidio cases.

Hey all, just picked up one of these $4 neoprene cases from Ebay and figured I'd give my 2 cents for any others looking to grab one.
(edit: err, can't post links yet. but it is the one with the SAMSUNG logo on it, NOT the one with the android image.)
After using the Silicone Amzer case from Amazon for about two weeks, I begun to realize that I wasn't fully enjoying the aesthetics of the Nexus S. I found myself frequently taking it out of the silicone case just to see how shiny it looked all by itself
Received this neoprene pouch two days ago from Ebay (a HK dealer, it took about 10 days to arrive), and am much happier with it. Though I am not OCD about keeping a phone pristine, I am pretty careful with my devices. This pouch allows me to keep it protected when not in use (e.g. in my pocket, in my car, or on my desk), but still allows me to fully enjoy the unencumbered design of the phone.
Anyway, here are some photos. Feel free to ask any questions. For $4, this thing is perfect. Ideally, in the future when more cases come out, I'd like to grab something a little higher quality.
pm me the link I would like to but one. Thanks

Sweet. For future reference, searching "nexus s neoprene" on Ebay will get it to show.
I picked one up after everyone said it was the same as the N1 sleeve. For the price it is definitely a nice little case, but the quality is a drop from the N1 sleeve (not a huge deal, but not what I was expecting based on the comments in the other thread).

Brand new Portenzo Hardback case. This was just released and is currently on sale for 2 days only @ $19.95! Watch the video for a demo of the super stick grip tape.
I'm still a very happy Portenzo BookCase customer. their quality and customer service is outstanding!
https://shop.portenzo.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=hardback-for-nexus
I ordered one. I'll post some pics next to the bookcase when I get it.

I have the BookCase and I'm thinking of ordering one of these too. I need to stop this case addiction!
It's nice but there's no way to make this stand right?
Sounds right. No stand.
Looks a lot like the Dodo Case to me.
Ordered one. All black with a red elastic strap. Thanks!

It does, but the Dodo is way more expensive and only available in 4 colors. Portenzo has a better reputation, less expensive and way more colors to chose from. Looks like I am buying another Portenzo today!
I will post pics when I get it.
Was liking it until I saw the adhesive approach to securing the device. Like everything else about it - moleskine type design, quality materials.
Anyone have any experience with the sticky pads?
Do they leave any residue if you remove your device?
I'm assuming they are a one time use as well?

If it's anything like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008A1XN28/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
Then the "sticky" is extremely sticky!
Enough so that when I tried to remove the N7, the back cover came off the tablet!
I don't mean that in some awful "it broke!" way...it's just that the adhesive is stronger than the tablet's back cover retainers.
So if you were scared to pry open your N7 with a screwdriver...this is an alternate way to open it.
But if you're careful and go slow, the tablet comes off and there is no residue.
The adhesive can be wiped down with water and when it dries, it's good to go!
I tested the case on my N7, then put my Galaxy Tab 2 7" in it, then back to the N7.
Since the Portenzo costs more than twice as much...I'd hope their adhesive is just as good if not better to work with than the $9 case!
Ordered mine yesterday in firetruck red! Pretty excited about this. I was looking for something classy but with thin profile so Bookcase came close but this hardbook was a better fit for my needs.
Does anyone now how long it takes for them to ship? Happy Friday all
I wonder how the quality compares to the dodocase.

I have the casemate tuxedo for the kindle fire using the sticky pad. It's re-usable and does not leave a residue. I sent my first kindle back and got a replacement from Amazon, no issues re-applying the pad on the replacement, just as sticky as the first time.
cant make it stand though, so a big nono for me
was going to wait till i got home to order but byt he time i did the price was back up to 39.99 :crying:
Looks like a good alternative to the Dodocase! I managed to place an order before the sale ended too. At $19.99, it was too good of a deal to pass up.
I just ordered mine (yes I know I said it looks like the Dodo but I couldn't help myself). And it was still 19.99 only I ordered the composition which added 9.99.

Has anyone's shipped yet? I ordered on launch day and have yet to hear anything.

Hey guys! In bought my buddy's nexus recently and was wondering if we can ever expect an Otterbox case for it. Anybody heard anything about it at all, affirmative or otherwise? I'd love to see one.
Cheers!

There's one coming soon. Search for Nexus 7 on the OtterBox site to find it.
I have an otter box for almost every other device I own, but for some reason they have been dragging their feet on making one for the n7.... I read the reviews and bought a seidio active case.... basically the same thing with the exception that there is no clear screen protector present... Look into it... rubberized cover, exoskeleton, hard cover.....

I think that was his point, the search function works well and it only takes a second to use it or as in this case scan down the page. It's not the crime of the century to post duplicates but it is annoying for other forum users.
I'm fed up with this slimy plasticky battery door that come with note2.
I'm looking for a soft touch matte finish battery door. Perhaps something similar to Nexus 7 2013 or Nexus 5.
At first I was interested in leather one (as there is a thread for that). Looks like a Note 3 and have better grip. But the again I just dont like the leather look. I prefer a simple soft touch finish that wont left many fingerprints.
Does anyone know this?
I've been searching around but no luck or probably just my pretty bad luck..

My friend, did you read my post?
I don't like the leather look. and, yes, I already checked that thread over and over again. If I really want a leather case, I won't create a new thread like this...
What I'm looking for is the soft touch, not leather.

I just posted on a similar thread here about the Ringke Slim. Might be just what you're looking for (and no I don't work for them ha ha!)
Edit. Sorry this is a case and not a battery door. However it is very slim if that's your reason for looking.

How about Carbon Backcover like this? Not as plasticky as the original. However, it's not too soft I guess, just enough for comfortable gripping and exclusive feeling instead of plasticky thing.
I found this not my taste but sort of what your looking for
