Need a new shell - Nexus S Accessories

Do you guys know where I could get like a shell/body for my Nexus S? I have the white version and it's been through a few drops and I just want a spare shell/body... when I retire it I can swap the internals and keep it looking "fresh" (I want to keep all my Nexus's).

I am assuming your are asking about the actual housing of the phone not a case. Best bet would be ebay.

Nothing i've hear of tbh, but, I did find my old pouch and, suffice to say, that if the power button wasn't on the side (rather the top) it'd be perfect. I'm already starting to see microscopic scratched on the battery door. Thank you BBY for your Black Tie protection.

I don't think it's neoprene like the Nexus One pouch; it looks to be more like faux leather. On the plus side it does have some kind of 'intelligent' shock absorbing molecules though, so if you're planning to drop your phone off a building then this is the case to get
I picked up a Sunglass Hut microfiber cloth pouch ($6.99). It prevents scratches and you can clean the phone when it's inside.

I just cut the corner of the sleeve so it doesn't hit the power button. It looks weird but it works just fine. that will hold me over until an otterbox comes out.

BUILT pouch
I bought a neoprene pouch from BUILT and it's way nicer than my N1 case. Plus the Nexus S sits deeper in the BUILT vs. the N1 case.
I know it says for iPhone but it fits perfectly for the Nexus S.
I also know it's a little pricey but the quality is there and I haven't been disappointed.
Their website is builtny dot com
There's a pouch for $1.99 including shipping on ebay
I'm not allowed to put links until I have 8 posts in. lol.
Do a search on ebay for 'nexus s pouch'. I ordered one and am still waiting for it. Probably won't get it for a couple of weeks since it's being shipped from HK.

Ringke makes a very thin case if you like the style:
http://www.rearthusa.com/Nexus-S_c_109.html
It's pretty close to my idea of a perfect case when it's new, but it tends to stretch out after a month or two.
A quality alternative is the Mercury case, but it's significantly thicker. The phone is thin to begin with, so I didn't mind the added bulk--I actually enjoy the little bit of bulk it adds.
Looks not that bad... i don't really mind scratch... I'll give it a try later on... thanks

I currently have a white Nexus S... and this cover makes my phone not feel flimsy... hard gel... great feel =] looks really nice on it... sprint had them but they stopped selling them.. if u go to the mall ull find them there in cell phone Case Booths... 20 bucks =] my phone is like new.. no scratches... no damage.

No not at all actually. unless you are capable of dropping it.
That is not a bad case at all iGoogle. However it doesn't fit an i9023 (or NS4G).
Also, you can get it from eBay for about $1.70 or so, which is where i got mine (which i sadly can't use..). Easily the best bang-for-buck case available, if bought from eBay.

You don't need a case.
You don't need a case neither a screen protector. They make your nexus look very big.
The screen is very good, and very hard to scratch. About the back cover, it scratches very easily, so you can change it for another official back cover from time to time. One with NFC and everything is six dollars on ebay.

i have one. it works well but a hard shell instead of silicone would be much better imo. very bulkly compared to similar battery cases for other phones. It could have been designed much better

I'll get you some in a bit. But imagine your device doubled. And also I just leave it on as soon as both my both and the poweskin are charged and then I leave the power skin on and I continue to use my phone one the powerskin then I drain my normal battery. Most useful way. The other was is to drain the nexus battery then charge the phone with the power skin. But you don't get much juice because you are sing the phone and charging at the same time. All in all. I managed to get a total of 3 days total without being with a charger. AMAZING! But I don't like the bulk much.
Edit: can post pics? Got an email/

[Official] Nexus 10 cover from Google

Hopefully this is a sign of more official accessories to come.

I like it.. But i tend to put my tablet down on random surfaces so i need a back cover as well
Most of the other cases are better thats just covers the screen and is more expensive but it would be nice if google could release a good hard case

They shipped these covers to some of the reviewers and they seem pretty nice!

Ordered the scarlet one too. I'll post some pictures when it arrives. Including shipping to Germany it came 35,98 €. Compared to eg official Samsung covers it really isn't that expensive. The thing i wonder is, if we may see some more accesoires in the near future (dock perhaps)? Hopefully Google has something more to come...
It came to just over £30 in the UK. 3 - 5 Shipping days. Can't wait!

I like the concept of not covering the back, but I agree it should fold. It´s seems prety rigid, making it even somewhat uncorfortable to hold the tablet. I will wait for some reviews and photos around here.

Same here, its a crap design for $30. I'm going to stick with the poetic case. Id prefer something that just covered the front (im not clumsy) because the tablet is so thin and light and then folds into a stand but this isnt it.

Note 2 Flip Case - Genuine or fake?

Hey Guys,
I just bought myself a Samsung flip cover, although it looks genuine, im a bit skeptical and would like to know what you guys think based on the photos. Also, the first time i had it on the flip cover wasnt fully sitting on the screen, however, now after a few hours its alright. Moreover, the edge of the flip cover doesnt have that rubber coating that can be seen on the S3 flip cover. I could've bought it from the samsung store but i found it a bit cheaper from this other phone shop. Anyways, ive posted all the photos so hope i get some opinions. Cheers.
Heres an additional photo of the box. Im not sure if it makes any difference but it says that it was manufactured on 2013.03.12 and Model Number : EFC-1J9FWEGSTD

It looks real enough to me. I have the grey version and an orange version from Samsung and both of them are the same as yours including the packaging they came in. There is no rubber thing on the version for the Note II and mine didn't feel like it fit flush either at first but after a few days in it should mold perfectly to it.

Actually i was surprised as to why it wouldn't sit flush on the screen considering i never had this issue with the genuine flip cover for the S3. I bought this for like $17.70 compare that to the $40 price tag from the official samsung store and its a big win. Anyways, thanks alot for your input.

To be honest many fakes aren't actually fake but just defective Samsung products that people take and sell cheap on ebay or Amazon. So if it had an nfc sticker and looks good to you then that price is great.
