How's it on the phone. Starting to hate my ballistic.
Sent from my almost cm7 p925
I bought a gel case that looks very similar for about a dollar on amazon a while back. It works really well except for one *supremely annoying* trait that most likely only affects me. I keep my thrill and my cigarettes in my left front pocket. The gel case (and I think it's pretty much *all* gel cases) sticks like glue to the cellophane on the outside of the cigarette pack. If I pull out my phone, my smokes pop out of my pocket too (slightly annoying) and if I pull out my cigarettes, my phone goes tumbling out of my pocket and onto the concrete floor. Fortunately, the gel case did a great job of keeping those tumbles from damaging the phone.
I went back to amazon and found a "hard" case for really cheap (< $5) that doesn't seem to have this same issue. A bonus of the hard case is that the buttons are exposed and easier to use than they are through the gel case.

You should look into a polymer case. They are smooth and don't grab in your pocket but are flexible and take a hit better than a hard case. The go by TPU or NGP. I got mine on ebay for $7 andbit came with home charger car charger and screen protector. These are by far my favorite and only case I will use after the grabby rubber cases and pointless hard cases.
The aim of this thread is to survey what accessories you decided to use with this awesome tablet. There are other threads which have very detailed reviews and recommendations so let us just keep this simple for easy read. List the accessory, it's function only if not obvious from name, brand, price if you still remember, and where you bought it. Links are good too. If you want to add your .02 for buying then feel free to add them as you wish.
For example:
case : mobo : $14.99 on Amazon
screen protector : bodyguardz : $18.95 on Amazon
stylus : El cheapo from dollar store
If this is a repeat thread, I did not see the original and will delete thread promptly. Thanks.

this is my wife's setup, i got the 5 dollar folio case instead of the TPU a more expensive stylus
I have 2 N7's. For the one I keep in the house I have a "i-blason slim leather portfolio auto wake/sleep stand case" in black, (Amazon $19.99) a sgp steinheil crystal clear screen protector, (Amazon $21.99) and I bought a pack of two stylus from T-Mobile ($19.99)that are also pens, they're really nice.
For the other N7 that I take with me to work, use as a gps, etc...I have the "extact tpu x design hybrid case in black, (Amazon $5.95 with free shipping) crazy on digital clear screen protectors, (Amazon $4.85) and I keep the N7, with the tpu on, in a "Mofi 7 inch zip tablet sleeve",(Amazon $9.99) it's green and has Andy the android on it...love it! I also have a "blurex ultra slim multi view stand case" in black, (Amazon $12.99) I switch back and forth between the tpu case and the blurex on the 2nd N7...depending what I'm out and about doing. I also bought a "belkin" stand for watching movies when I don't want the N7 in a case...the blurex case doesn't have anything around the screen like the i-blason does, it's a completely bare screen except for 6 leather clips on the corners to keep the N7 in place. I bought a pair a skull candy ear buds in red, (T-mobile, $19.99) love those! I think that's all I have for accessories right now for both N7's. I bought 3 stylus (styli?) on Amazon for $1.15, they came in a pack of 3, bought them before I found the ones at t-mobile...prefer the ones from T-Mobile, much more nicer, they are skinnier and the rubber tip is firmer.

a while ago, i bought a prepaid cricket android phone + bluetooth speaker deal from bestbuy for 50 bucks, i sold the phone for 50 bucks on craigslist and got the speaker for almost nothing
http://reviews.bestbuy.com/3545/372...aker-red-reviews/reviews.htm?sort=helpfulness
since i found the nexus 7 speaker to be kinda weak, this small portable bt speaker is nice to have as long as you don't pay too much for it
The app "volume+ (volume booster) " by Meltus, helps the volume on the N7, like A LOT!

This is a little video reviewing the case that I am rocking at the moment. Sorry it's a bit rough, you tube destroyed the aspect ratio. Please like it to help me out

First cheapo-until-something-better-was-available cover: KaysCase S-Line TPU
Nice color options, fits the tablet well. Standard TPU case but I liked the blue color and the simple design.
Primary cover: Official Asus Travel Cover
I actually like it, I just wish it came stock as a smart cover that held itself closed. I added a tiny thin magnet to the front flap so at least I get the smart function. I could probably solve the "doesn't hold itself shut" issue if I cared enough, but it suits for now. I'd like to see the other colors from Asus, especially if they come with a built-in smart cover. I also want to see the Premium Asus case when it's available.
Screen protector: amFilm Premium Screen Protector Film Clear
Basic dry application screen protector. Gets the job done cheaper than some, two pack in case you mess up the installation.
Stylus: Boxwave Evertouch
Feels lightweight and kind of cheap, but the mesh tip glides smoother than any rubber one I've used. Good color options.
OTG Cable: Need to purchase, but I just saw this 4-in-1 connector in another thread, and it looks promising, though a lot more expensive than the <$1 Hong Kong cables.
Gamepad: So far I'm just using my Wiimote/Classic Controller because it's what I've got lying around. Works well enough for emulators.

After several months of delay and waiting, the Nexus 7 Rugged Poetic REVOLUTION Case has arrived to my doorstep!
This will be an on-going review of this case. Unfortunately I am just waiting for my Nexus 7 3G to arrive any-day now so I can fit it inside this new rugged case. For now I will upload photos of the case and my initial reactions.
Feels solid, grip-wise it feels perfect with the textured finish they used around the 'holding' areas of the tablet.
Quality looks good. Nothings warped. No docs provided. Not sure how the nexus gets installed. Back hinges could possibly snap off if you apply some force.
I'd say $30-$45 is a good price for it.
The rubber does attract some dust and lint, however like most rubber cases, this will probably be minimized over time and use.
I will probably 'punch-out' the plastic screen protector and put in a Gorilla Glass screen protector as I did the same with my iphone.
Ports look solid, only large exposed area is the speaker vent, which they could of put a micro screen flush inside the case to help keep contaminates out of the speaker itself.
Enjoy the first capture photos for now, will update as soon as I have a device to put in it. Feel free to add your own to this thread if also ordered this case!
I had some trouble putting in the nexus 7.. You take of the rubber from around the plastic part of the case, the plastic case snaps apart. To get the plastic to snap back together I had to apply quite a bit of pressure to the point were I was starting to think that the nexus wasn't going to fit.
If you look up a youtube video of an "otterbox defender" case it is exactly the same concept.
imapirate, care to update you review? Do you have your nexus in the case and how's it holding up?
Hi.
I'm looking for ultra thin case for LG G2. Can any reg. any good?
Also interested in this, I'm checking out the ones on ebay from China that reviewers have said is very thin (<1mm). But was hoping to find the thinnest possible case without having to resort to a skin.
The ultra thin ones from china are only good for scratch protection, but don't help at all (as I found to my cost) if the phone is dropped. I also found they're not very grippy, making it more likely that you will drop it.
Depending on your carrier, but the Vzw model Incipio DualPro is minimum bulk, buttons on the back are covered, and provides a good grip. The non Vzw one doesn't cover the buttons, unsure about the thickness comparison.
Not sure what super thin is, but I use the Tudia Melody and am a fan of it.
I've used the Incipio Feather. That is the thinnest case you can buy. It is also super awesome matte rubber like touch feel and high quality plastic. I just purchased a new one after original 2013 case was sort of a dingy blue.
http://www.amazon.com/Incipio-Feather-Case-Verizon-Packaging/dp/B00F4AYBPG
I just picked up the teal/light blue one the other day for $5 shipped. It is a little pricier now but normally run $24ish.
For as thin and skimpy as they are, my G2 looks flawless for having been dropped many times on concrete and hardwood. My case corners had a few scratches but the phone itself is protected. The case provides a small lip to protect the screen and grabs the corners to catch drops.
It is the only case I will buy.
Yesoo slim from amazon. Its the thinnest and has a great matte finish liket he nexus 5. Better than the super slick G2 back.

I've got two of these cases and have ordered two more: http://www.ebay.com/itm/HOT-Ultra-T...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item20f131738a
Second two haven't arrived yet and I ordered two weeks ago but a long delivery time from China is to be expected. For ~69p delivered you can't go wrong!
Very thin, almost don't feel it other than it being a more pleasant matte texture. Not very hard wearing, mines got scratches on after about a month, but I intended for it to be sacrificial anyway as they are so cheap.

This case is wonderfull. I ordered it, but can't use it because i use tempered glass protectors that case would work only with a smaller one glass or with plastic screen protectors. But it has the nexus feel and is extra slim. Try it guys, very cheap and very good quality
I personally do not like TPU cases. They are too thick and add a huge lip around the screen which makes it hard to get to the edge (especially on the LG G2's screen).
And all TPU cases feel the same to me. The Incipio Feather is a hard shell and snaps to the back. It is pretty difficult to remove, even after owning my last one for a year and a half.
I have one of these an its very unobtrusive, and more grippy than the bare phone - it clips on very securely and protects the corners which is all I want.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FRFT3PG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
BUT I suspect if you drop the phone the case won't last long - I've not dropped mine (fingers crossed a drop now isn't on the cards!) but my wife has one for her Moto G and it broke a piece off the corner when dropped on the corner - the phone was fine, but the case was junk, but at £2 for another it's not the end of the world and certainly stopped the phone getting damaged.

That probably won't work with the Verizon VS980 because our device is a little thicker then the other models due to Qi Charging. It is also basically the same thing as the Incipio Feather I posted, except the Incipio is specifically designed for the Verizon models thickness and different button size.
I've dropped my phone tons of times and the Incipio holds up nicely.

I've had 2 of these, and they are great. Very thin, and stylish... and grippy. I had to replace one because I dropped it right on the corner on concrete from about 4 feet up, and the corner of the case broke off, but the phone was only slightly damaged. Great case!

I have to agree, while no OtterBox, the Incipio feather has protected my phone well. Bought one off eBay for $10 and see the ones sold on Amazon have dropped in price as well.
This is my review of this case:
http://www.amazon.com/Artech-21-Pre...pebp=1434509354305&perid=0DNW5VXVBZBQGB76YN49
Build:
This case has a build quality when it comes to leather that surpasses most of the other $10 "Leather" cases you find, this is like buying a Leather Couch from a leather only store vs buying a leather couch from your big box store. Alot of leather now days is just leather with plastic backing. This is 100% Leather and can tell by the way it smells, and if water gets on its the spot gets a little darker but than goes away.
Design:
My only design flaw I could find with this case is that it doesn't hold a full size bill, and no front speaker cutout. I love that it has a thumb hole for your DL our ID, plus I have found since the G4 is curved you can really throw 2 cards in every slot and it still sits flat. This was my biggest issue with my Note 4 when I tried a wallet case it could never really sit flat, with the LG G4 most of your cards just sit in the contour of the screen. It also makes texting on a desk easy if you flip the back over, no more rocky phone.
Protection:
All in all I haven thrown my phone with this case but I do notice with the two magnet clasps it stays shut a lot better than most wallet cases I have used in the past. I would say it should protect your phone pretty decent unless you run over it with a car.
All in all I would give it a 9.5/10 with half a star missing for the no front speaker cutout.
thanks , did you leave us amazon review yet ? and any photo to amazon ?
