I think I know what you mean, I like it but.. it looks cool but it's not very practical, lightweight but adds bulk, good protection for the back but none for the screen etc.

I quite like it.
$44 is taking the pith and unless the project is patented the Chinese will be knocking them out for $1 within months.
I'd prefer it if they could get the finished product a bit thinner and pay maybe £5 for one, inc p&p but no more.
$20 for international shipping ?
Bloody hippies, why can't they just come out of the closet and say they are just as capitalistic as bankers ?

I do like it. Looks sweet and would match my Mica Plank watch and Bucket Oakleys
17 days left to go and not fully funded as of today. I already invested in my Treegloo so I can't foresee another case. But for 44 bux isn't too bad.

nexus cutting board.

bamboos float so if you accidentally drop your nexus with that bamboo case in the ocean, you will still be able to retrieve it.

I know it's real bamboo wood, but it looks too much like plastic vinyl flooring and bad 70's wallpaper to me. Has an IKEA feel about it.

Haha, I was about to say how it looks like my Grandma's kitchen.

I actually thought it was a chopping board the first time I saw it!!! LOL

Just don't put your nexus 7 in the kitchen when the case is on.

Chopping board，but looks high quality case

this is actually very nice, I would pay around 10-15$ though, and I would want it a darker bamboo, and one continuous speaker hole so the speaker dividers don't snap, and a microfiber interior

Just put my 44 down. I hope it gets funded, I really like the look of it. Very classsy. Good way to make my Nexus 7 look unique.

Are you from the UK? (You sound like me, lol!)
And I have to agree: I want that warm fuzzy feeling of doing the whole natural environmental friendly bamboo thing but not at corporate rip off prices!

missing a fornt cover
it would have been nice if it had a front felt cover ( like the grovemade ones for the ipad), or if it was a slip case.

Very Nice Case For Very Low Price

Okay guys, I got this case about a month ago now and have dropped my phone about 4 or 5 times from my waste to the sidewalk and absolutely nothing has happened to my phone.
I highly reccomend this case.

It also has a cool little kickstand on it for when you are watching videos, surfing the web with various mousepads, keyboards, etc.
And don't forget gaming with a bluetooth gamepad.
It also comes with a cool little beltclip, very handy id you dont want to shove this beast of a phone into your pocket,
Very nice case, only for about $8.00 USD.
Here is a link if you would like to purchase one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Rugge...435987?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2ec37feb13
In my opinion, it was MORE than worth the $8 I payed.
Hope you guys enjoy

I know this is offtopic but that beltclip is exactly what Otterbox Commuter case needs, take notice Otterbox

Yea that's the only reason I didn't get an Otterbox.
I'm sorry I couldn't post photos of the beltclip but nonetheless, very useful.

ive got one of those cases. its definitely one of the best cases ive ever bought from ebay. its quite durable and offers a lot of drop protection.
the only thing i didnt like was the stand mechanism. when its fully locked open, it feels like its going to snap when i try to close it. aside from that, definitely worth the money.

That's a brick... excessively thick for my taste...

You bought a Galaxy Note II...
I dont see how size of the case would come into play at all, you have the biggest phone on the market.

The phone might be big but it's pretty thin width-wise which makes it easier to use etc

Does the silicone pick up lint?
Would you say this case is as thick as the commuter or is it thinner?
Thanks

The silicone does not pickup lint.
I keep the kickstand on it at all times so its like a hard case with a jelly core.
Very good resistance if you drop your device.
It is quite thin and only bulks your device about a quarter to a half inch more.

If the op is dropping their phone 5 times a month, a brick case is probably worth it. Lol

Casemachine Persus

While I don't yet have this device, I plan on getting it soon. Been shopping cases and such (with loads of help from you all) and found this cover. Gotta admit I am intrigued by it. Wondering if anyone has it yet or seen one. Here is the link.

Damn that is a sexy case!! If it wasn't aluminum I'd buy it. Also if it wasn't $69.. thats steep for a case.

That looks futuristicly sick, nice ... too bad it will most likely mess with my imagnet stand and or wireless charging.

Wow this does look really cool, I'd like to have this case.

Maybe there will be more reviews about signal interference by then as well.

That one shouldn't interfere with signal too bad as the aluminum is only in the front bezel, the back is tpu lined polycarbonate which will have no effect on the signals. The one thing it *may* mess with is the spen, but if it's really a1 aircraft grade aluminum the impact should be very minimal.
I like to break stuff!

If they had an option for a holster that would be better.

Wow. Impressive case

Would've liked a black/gunmetal grey front option. Not a fan of the white/silver front plates.

well, don't worry, with at least 2 months until these things are for sale, you never know what they might end up coming out with..

What's this sorcery all about?

That picture makes it look impossible to remove the Spen..
I wish I could find a valid explanation from a usability standpoint of why they make all the ports with such sharp edges on the aluminium bumpers and such.. Would be better to have a slight curve or angle of depression.

Nice case! But to wait until April. Idts.

What I was referring to was the sleep (power) button and volume buttons being on the same side of the case????

Ballistic Jewel Clear Case

Recieved this in mail, paid 15$ on Ebay. Did not realize it was flexible rubbery type of case, but I really like it. Totally clear so I can see my phone s Blue (Best Buy Edition) and it has a good lip on front to protect the screen of I set it face down. Plus I also feel like it would actually protect my phone if I drop it, which I have yet to find in use a clear case. The Ballistic Corners are in full effect.

how about a picture of the case itself instead of a render. Cause render don't equal real life oh mr. all knowing.
edit: Here's a picture I found of the case.
edit 2: your response was the reason for my response. A case is very much a visual thing even just seeing a picture of it not on the phone is helpful.

Yeah, unfortunately I have a phone, one. So for me to take a picture of my phone with my phone is kind of difficult. I posted this because I had not read much about this case. I read this section all the time, I see what you guys are talking about, then I usually try YouTube. I don't really understand this all encompassing need to see a picture. Now if my post had said something to the effect of there is no lip on front, or fits too tight, then I would understand someone wanting to see a picture. But when I right I lobe the case, it fits great, etc., how would a picture I post illustrate that to the reader any differently than any picture you may Google? How is lack of a pi ture on a post such as mine so offensive as to warrant snide remarks? This forum is so far out there man. Some really good helpful people on here, but so many arrogant, entitled, keyboard bad asses have made it almost unbearable. I use to think some DEVS and other members were overreacting when they would leave, and say they would never return. I've seen probably many episodes like that. Between the guys who are routinely disrespectful behind the safety of there computer screen, and the power hungry mods that so often act the same way, this forum has become a juvenile playground. What was once a great place to go and ask questions, read opinions, and gather info, is now more trouble than its worth. So feel free now to post all your if you don't like it leave crap, and slam my spelling, grammar, or lack of whatever else you must do to feel superior.
Once again, the Ballistic Jewel case is very cool. I like it. If your looking for a clear case, check it out.

Waterproof Case

I was wondering if anyone knew if any manufacturer was making quality waterproof cases like the Lifeproof or Seidio Obex line cases...
This is one thing I am always jealous of iPhone users.. the wealth of accessories available to them.
I usually go w/o a case, but when I go on a trip, hiking, beach, lake, etc.. I like to have some extra protection for when I take my phone out for some pics/videos..
Alas, it is always difficult to find a quality case in this respect.

I doubt it. No Nexus has never had one that I know of

Just kidding, I'm hoping too. I use my phone for rifle competition and at least a rain and dust proof case would be great. The ol' ziploc "case" gets old.

LOL! Well, you have to do what you have to do. I never thought about using ziploc bags. I will keep that in mind. As for a regular case, I won't be using one. I think the phone is grippy enough to not slip too much if it's like the N5

I've had a friend try using a ziplock bag and water got in and his phone stopped working, for what it's worth.

Noted. I may do the double ziplock bag method to be extra safe

Reviving this to see if anyone had found anything.
I do use the ziplocks for the beach and whatnot but that is really "splash proof"
What I would like is a diving case, something that is good to a few meters.

This is by far the best option out there IMO
Liquipel

Thanks but I was hoping for a case instead. It doesnt even have ot be hard like a fitted Otter, but if it were a small baggier or something I would want it to be truly waterproof and be able to trigger a camera shutter

What about something like this? My girlfriend use something similar when she went hiking around a river with some small waterfalls with some friends. She said it was great and kept out all the moisture. She was even able to take pictures with it because the bag allowed the touch screen to work.

I may pull the trigger and hope that the fingerprint scanner works through it (it does through a ziplock) because our buttons being on the side makes it really hard to wake the phone.
