[Half Review][Case] Ballistic SG Series for Nexus S 4G! 7/3/11

Alright guys so I have a half review for everyone. Due to me not being able to find my cable for my camera, I have pictures taken from my 4G so no pictures right now with it in the case. Will have some of those shortly! Enjoy.

Comparison to the Seidio Active

Just found that Ballistic makes a case for the 4G. Being in construction, I had one of these on my EVO 4G and LOVED it. Buying now. Great case and highly recommend it!
Since I can't do direct links I guess... Search "Ballistic Case" in Google and either click on Sprint or Samsung once in the site.

Edit* post a review when you get it

Just got home from work and it's here! Post up a review later today. Check back!

Do you think this will fit the Nexus S for T-Mobile?

Most likely it will. It's labeled as the 4G so don't blame anything on me! It fits awesome! It adds bulk but no more than any Seidio case. I think the protection is better than Seidio. The fit is perfect and snug. I can't do a review tonight but I will try and find my camera to do one for this weekend or tom/Friday.

I would throw it around if it were the HC Series but the SG Series is less hardcore. I had the HC Series on my EVO and dropped from about 8 feet onto broken up concrete with no problem multiple times. This seems to offer plenty of protection though.

Alright guys sorry for the delay. I have the pictures taken I just can't find my cable to transfer the pictures... Be up soon hopefully.

Thanks this red looks real clean. How does it fit in the pockets? I just wondering cause the corners bulge

Fits the pocket pretty good for a heavy duty case. Nothing worse than any other silicone case. I shouldn't say silicone but it's fairly easy in and out. That's what she said?

Thanks for letting me know about this case. I purchased the black one and it DOES fit my Nexus S (T-Mobile). The BodyGuardz I have on the back of my Nexus S seems to help the fit but I did contact Ballistic CS and they told me it would fit.
I was looking for a replacement for Otterbox (this looked so clean and probably would have been the best case too bad they didn't make it) and I'm liking this and the Aegis.

My Ma has one of those (well, very similar to that for the Desire HD). I just don't like the pink ... afraid of catching "The Gay"
I'm just joking, pink just isn't my colour.

[REVIEW][i9023] Nilkin Hard White Case : Cleaned up the pictures!

So, my Nilkin case arrived in the mail on friday. Took 2 weeks.
The Gallery of images can be viewed here for a better look and experience. HERE
So here's the package.
Link1
Comes with a screen protector ( Not gonna change my screen protector yet )
Link2
And here are some pictures of the case being naked. (without the phone)

Link8
Link9
Now for pics with my phone with the case
Link10
Link11
Link12
Link13
Link14
Link15
Conclusion:
Overall a very good case. Actually makes the phone look very good. Especially the back where the phone looks slick. The fact that the bottom and top are protected halfway scares me, however i can take care of the phone well so it depends on you.
The case feels quite slippery when you hold it up, so you have to grip it tightly.
Looks good on the sides and all round. Generally a very nice case to have.
I love it.
I hope this review helps you to decide and if you liked this review PLEASE HIT THE THANKS BUTTON
Thanks for reading!

Could you please resize the images? they are a way to big

Update 1: Cleaned up all the pictures, just click the links to view them

Looking good! I've been thinking of getting a case for my naked NS4G. I've dropped it waay too many times to not seriously start considering getting one.

If you keep dropping your phone you definitely need a cover. I dont think this is available for NS4G though. You'll have to look for a similar one.

Anyone bought this cover?

Nice photos! I have checked with Nillkin that they have run out of the original smooth cover and replaced by the one with tactile texture.

I think it's cheaper on eBay, but CASESSS.com offers faster shipping options and free to Singapore as well.

Cheap Case Review (Lots of pics!)

Hey everyone, I'm back with another review with lots of pictures again. Some of the pictures were taken with my Galaxy Note 2, and even though they are some fantastic pictures, I took out another camera to take pictures with the case on the phone.
To be honest, this is a case that I thought I wouldn't recommend to anyone because it was a cheapo case and it feels CHEAP! I mean, REALLY cheap! But once it's on the phone, it actually feels really good in hand and then it gives it a textured back that will for sure not let you drop it as easily!
Enough of my blabbing.
This is how it came:

}
You can find this case in a ton of different colors.
The buttons don't feel like they're going to click, but they're actually really clicky once it's on the case. It isn't as good as the original case that I reviewed last week, but for the price, it's good and you can feel the raised buttons.
Port holes are HUGE! I mean, every place there is an opening, this case makes it a lot bigger than it really needs to be! Check these pictures out.
Compare the hole for the speaker, or the pen silo!
And the camera hole
There is a higher lip on the case, so you can put it face down on the table and the screen won't touch the table.
I actually bought this case a week before I got my Note 2, and it just got here a few days ago. Ironic that I ordered it to have a case right away and it is the 4th case I got in the mail. Lol. I like the case, but it honestly doesn't compare to the Original case that I reviewed. It does have some good points and some bad ones. I like the texture, but it has massive port holes. I don't like how it makes my phone look though, but you can judge that for yourself. I'm going to stick to the original case. But it's not bad at all for the price that it is on eBay!
Would I recommend it? Yeah.
Are there better cases? For sure.
Better cases for the price? Probably not.
Hit thanks if this review has helped you or you just like the pics Or if you'd like me to continue reviewing cases I buy .
Thanks for reading

Does 'Add to Cart' button work for you on that site?
Edit: Never mind, it works in Chrome. Doesn't work in Firefox for me. Strange.
This looks like a awesome site if it's genuine.

I've ordered from here before. Shipping takes forever unless you pay for faster shipping but it's legit and I got about 10 cases for my original note from there. They were only 86 cents! One of the best sites I've come across. The only problem I've run into is the pictures don't exactly represent the exact item. Like I ordered a case and the picture showed it transparent but it was really solid blue.

DYI case: best of both worlds?

Hi all
Not happy with any of the Nexus 7 cases I had tried so far I decided to do some tinkering.
/* WHAT YOU NEED */
a) a cheap smart-cover case with good functionality. I really like the following one but thought it didn't protect the Nexus 7 edges enough.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/310450570970?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
b) a good TPU/silicone case that offers all-round protection (apart from the screen). I first tried a cheaper one but it was quite loose.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150896669042?var=450114078159&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
c) some thin double-sided tape.
/* TINKERING */
1) remove the "insert" from the smart-cover case (attachment 1 and 2). I used a Stanley knife and some gentle brute-force. :silly:
2) place double-sided tape where the insert was (attachement 3).
3) stick the TPU case inside the smart-cover one (other attachements).
4) done! :laugh:

this is great. I wish a company would create something like this professionally. I too like the corner protection of the tpu. the TPU material obsorbs the impact when the tablet hits the ground. I have tpu cases on my other devices and they have been saved by the tpu case. But the tpu case doesn't offer much of screen protection outside of you buying a screen protector. The smart case idea is perfect. It protects the screen and double protects the back. you can use it to hold up your tablet. I really like what you did.
I did something like this for my acer a500 and might do this for the N7 as well.
thanks for sharing.

You're very welcome, and thanks for the positive feedback.

Great idea. I always thought that the protection for those that have the flap was pretty bad too but I never thought of combining to together. Now...to find one that looks good to use.

I never thought to do this. I have a tpu skin on mine now and ordered a smart cover case to use. But the poetic slimline case ... I wonder if no can just detach the smart cover part off that and super glue it to the tpu skin .... Hmmmmm

Thanks Daniel, for the comment and suggestion.

Cool idea, particularly because I'd thought of doing this too
My other idea is to use a similar TPI or hardback case stuck to a car mount to create a smart looking in-car solution rather than using one of those universal adjustable types.

rooCASE Google Slim-Fit Folio Case Cover

This case is pretty awesome. I ordered off of Amazon for 1 cent plus $4.99 shipping.

Here are some photo's I took of it:
It's a compact design that is practically the same size as the Nexus 10

It has the magnetic system for waking and sleeping the device.
Nothing is blocked.... the ports, the speakers, and the camera are all exposed.
Slip your hand under the elastic strap in the back to make one handed operation possible
To use it as a stand, this is how you are supposed to do it, but I can't bring myself to bend it at the crease in the back.
So at this point, I am using it as a stand like this:

Looks good! The only thing I don't like is the stylus loop, not gonna ever be getting a stylus and feel any case with the loop detracts from the overall clean lines of a case!

No stylus for myself either. A person with a steady hand and an exacto or utility knife would be able to remove that loop without hardly a trace of it ever being there.
