advice for a maybe soon to be hd2 owner

Hello everybody,
I'm thinking of buying a hd2 and I was already reading the forum and looking for some cases but the thing is... what should/would or must I buy!?
I also own a Dell streak. With the device I use a full body skin/protector in combination with a leather case.
So the thing is, there are a lot of cases out there and I really want to know if there is a great option which will keep the device slim and really protected.
Like full body skin (if necessary) with:
case 1
case 2 without lower / upper protection
case 3
case 3 - another picture
case 4

I will only suggest one thing ! Do not go for Rubberized Covers !! they make the phone hard as hell to slide in/out of the pockets !
As for the cover search for Otterbox Commuter Series Case

I love Otterbox Defender case. As previous poster said, rubberized cases are annoying in terms of putting them into a pocket. I use belt holster for my Otterbox. Works fine.

Thnx very much

I had the Otterbox case. It made it way too thick.
Try this
HTC EVO 4G
4.8" x 2.6" x 0.5"
(122 x 66 x 12.7 mm)
T-MO HTC HD2
4.8" x 2.64" x 0.43"
(122 x 67 x 11 mm)
Look at size comparison of the two phones. I ordered the Seidio case below and it fits perfect.
The Sprint store has the horizontal leather case with magnetic closure, that fits too.
GO to seidioonline and search for Product Code: HLHEV4AS
If you order this holster make sure it reads Spring-Clip Holster for use with non-cased device.
Got mine today... Love it.

Let me know what you think?

Interesting. I like the Otterbox precisely BECAUSE it makes the HD2 thicker, and easier to handle (for me).

Ditto.

Cases for cdma Nexus S?

Anyone know of any cases specifically made for the cdma version of the Nexus S? I bought a Nexus S s shaped case from eBay, but I highly doubt it will fit because of the slightly larger size compared to the gsm version. Post your links to any findings....

Any Nexus S case should work. The CTIA model was only 0.3 mm thicker (about the thickness of a business card).

But isn't that the difference between the Nexus S with an Amoled screen and a Nexus S with a Super LCD screen? People are having trouble finding cases that fit true to the entire phone. I'm holding out on buying cases until I have mine

Incipio (www.myincipio.com) makes cases for the Nexus S (although the GSM version). However, I recently got it and it fits on my CDMA Nexus. The power button cutoff on the case is a little off but that's just a minor detail. Case fits like a glove.

Sprint has a few of them available. I bought their branded black plastic hard case yesterday. I hate it, it's going back today. It's a soft touch material but it has no felt on the inside to protect from scratches on the back cover and it is so slippery the phone about falls out of my hand every time I use it. It came with a holster for $25.

I got the s shaped case from eBay, the case itself fits good but the power button is also slightly off. Not to bad for under $5 shipped.

I just bought my nexus s and I also purchased the zagg full body ..
Its more of a scratch resistant case

Neoprene Sleeve for Nexus 7 £7 - UK

Hi. Went looking for a sleeve for my Nexus 7 today and found a good case/deal in a local Tesco Homeplus. Its a sleeve intended for the larger Kindle and is made by Built. I'm pretty certain it is this case which was reduced to £7 in store (Tesco Homeplus Chester Retail Park in this case - 5 or so left today). There were 2 versions, one named Neoprene Sleeve and the other named Slim Neoprene Sleeve. The former fits the Nexus 7 fine but the 'Slim' version was too short. To be sure, the one that fits has the part No E-KS3-BLK on the bar code on the packing.
The sleeve is well made with a microfibre lining. It fits the Nexus well and is not too tight/loose. There are ridges at the lower end of the sleve to grasp the case while removing the tablet. Very impressed here.

Nice find ! That's a good option for the UK guys here.
In the USA there's a budget store where I live called Big Lots that has a huge supply of 7" TABLET STUFF .
Neoprene Sleeve's , leather cases that props up and swivels , duracel scratch resistant screen protectors, portable bluetooth speakers , stylus pens and much,much more. Check them out if your in the US and are loooking for high quality acessories for a budget price.
To find the tablet stuff @ their web site:
-Biglots . com then sort by Electronics on the left hand side.

What accessories are you finally rocking with your N7?

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!

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.

sleeve/ soft cases

I don't want a case that covers the bezel or the back, just something to protect my n10 when it is slung in my backpack or messenger bag.
Does anyone know if these will fit the n10?
Samsung Textile Pouch
Kensington Soft Carrying Case
Proporta Perfora which is listed as a Nexus 10 case but seems to be a netbook case so will likely be too thick.

I am thinking about a sleeve myself.
To protect the nexus 10 while not in use or carrying it, but not to add bulk to the tablet while in use.
I am thinking about picking up a case logic sleeve.

I'd like to know too. You can get it through Amazon cheaper http://www.amazon.com/Case-Logic-LA...id=1353866151&sr=1-1&keywords=LAPST-110-BLACK and their return procedure is pretty painless.
I'd try it myself but my N10 hasn't arrived yet and I want to try the Galaxy Tab 10.1 accessories I already have before buying more "stuff".
Let us know.

I picked up this HP case (based on a recommendation in another thread):
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+Mini+Laptop+Sleeve/9926416.p?id=1218196187925&skuId=9926416
I picked it up off of Amazon for $10, but the picture over on Amazon is not correct (this picture on BestBuy is correct). It has padding on both sides of the device in the main pocket plus a second zippered pocket for cable, headphones, charger etc. It is the right size and the N10 fits in the case right; but, I am sure there are smaller cases if you don't need the large second pocket across the whole case. I picked this case up to have it available now as I am watching other cases being released. I also have three more different cases on order for different situations. My favorite so far is the Poetic Slimline case, but it is not available until the end of December. Good luck.

This Samsung-made pouch fits damn-near perfect:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0055193HU/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
It fits pretty tight at first, but loosens up over about 10 insertions and removals. It doesn't cover 100% of the tablet though, there's still about ~3mm of the tablet exposed at the open end. To me it's negligible, since it's used to place the tablet into my backpack.
And it's less than 11 bucks.

I didn't want some big hard cover, just a sleeve, but also didn't want to spend any money on it so just made my own last night using half of a full-desk neoprene gaming mousemat and a needle exactly what i was after for simply carrying it around and such. It's not perfect but it was free and does it's job ut great

FYI, I bought this one
http://www.amazon.co.uk/V7-Protective-Sleeve-iPads-Tablets/dp/B0085JT0BS/
Its quite thick (~30mm) with the Nexus 10 inside, but I felt the bubbles inside should really help protect the screen when its in my laptop bag.
The zip closes no problem, but it wouldn't take a tablet even a few mm taller(in portrait), width-wise(also in portrait) there is a good 20mm space. The padding is quite thin on the zip and edges, protected, but not as well as the main faces. I feel it is a good buy.

I picked up the Hp as well for $20 at Bestbuy works well and will get the job done until new cases are released

I like the looks of this one, because while I think I'll be using the thing naked most of the time, I know I need a sleeve, plus this one can prop the unit up if I want to watch a movie on an airplane or something.

ASUS Versasleeve
Using an ASUS Versasleeve (sold TF700) and it works great. Fit is perfect and case doubles as a stand with two positions (typing and viewing). I prefer using my tablets naked and have been through 5+ cases before deciding on the Versasleeve.
http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VersaSle...d=1354034427&sr=8-1&keywords=asus+versasleeve

I tried this case from LLC but the N10 was too wide to fit in. I'm hoping for something like this to come out for the N10. The magnetic top closes it nicely and keeps it folded when you use it as a folio style stand. It's also paper thin. If anyone has a line on something like this for the N10 please post:
http://www.llcases.com/c/83/galaxy-tab-101

If anyone lives in the UK, I just bought a laptop neoprene case from pound land for £1 while I wait for my Poetic Slimline case to arrive from amazon. It may not be a perfect fit, but it definitely gets the job done.

Can't go too wrong for $10.62 delivered. Goo designs a beautiful product and then tells the user to either risk carrying it around naked or put it into a case that will defeat their design efforts? I believe the cover they promoted, if it had been available, would have have helped them to sell more tablets.

Thanks for the tip. I've tried it with mine and I almost didn't get it out and then sold it with my Galaxy Tab 10.1. I loved the pouch because it was very slim, minimalistic and the tablet was slightly protected when it was just laying around on the couch or when I put it in my laptop bag.
Unfortunately it's 22€ on Amazon.de (around $25) but I think it's still worth it since I hate it when a case is completely attached to the tablet.

That is a really nice looking sleeve. Quite pricey but could be tempted to pick one up when my nexus 10 arrives

Ordered this one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/170933946177?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
+ pre-ordered the Slimline on Amazon.
Will post review when I get it
P.S. UPS shows tracking that my Nexus 10 will be here today...Woohoo

Got a few pictures of the Galaxy Tab Case and the Asus Versasleeve.
The galaxy case is housing the N10 pretty well at this point, with almost 0 protrusion of the tablet.
Overall, I think I will be using the Versasleeve. I remember people complaining about the plastic smell on the Nexus 7 poetic cases, but holy hell this Asus case is much worse in the magnitude of smell.
Other than the ugly brown, I think it'll work well.
