Hey all, just picked up one of these $4 neoprene cases from Ebay and figured I'd give my 2 cents for any others looking to grab one.
(edit: err, can't post links yet. but it is the one with the SAMSUNG logo on it, NOT the one with the android image.)
After using the Silicone Amzer case from Amazon for about two weeks, I begun to realize that I wasn't fully enjoying the aesthetics of the Nexus S. I found myself frequently taking it out of the silicone case just to see how shiny it looked all by itself
Received this neoprene pouch two days ago from Ebay (a HK dealer, it took about 10 days to arrive), and am much happier with it. Though I am not OCD about keeping a phone pristine, I am pretty careful with my devices. This pouch allows me to keep it protected when not in use (e.g. in my pocket, in my car, or on my desk), but still allows me to fully enjoy the unencumbered design of the phone.
Anyway, here are some photos. Feel free to ask any questions. For $4, this thing is perfect. Ideally, in the future when more cases come out, I'd like to grab something a little higher quality.
pm me the link I would like to but one. Thanks

Sweet. For future reference, searching "nexus s neoprene" on Ebay will get it to show.
I picked one up after everyone said it was the same as the N1 sleeve. For the price it is definitely a nice little case, but the quality is a drop from the N1 sleeve (not a huge deal, but not what I was expecting based on the comments in the other thread).

Just got an email announcing that the "Nexus 7" tablet covers are now available for purchase & shipping from the Google Play store....
They've been for sale for almost a week now

$10.00 to ship a $20.00 item ???? I'll PASS on this one !!!!!
Wrong. They have been backordered until today.
Who cares anyways. I'm not paying $31.28 for a POS case without a smartcover.

How have they been backordered until today if I ordered mine around Wednesday I think and I just got the email today? And I've paid more for other Nexus cases, and its not like its $60.

Definitely an easy pass. Case isn't worth $20 itself, needless to say another $10 to ship it. What a joke Google...
Not to hijack the thread. Just a question for everyone. It has probably been discussed elsewhere but you all seem interested on the topic. I know people have discussed if Google was in violation of crapple's patent for the smart cover. Do you ever wonder if Google decided to launch the device without a smart cover in order to not draw attention to it to avoid a lawsuit knowing others would make accessories utilizing it? They could claim it was for a dock or something.
I know this is a stretch, but how else do you explain such a pointless accessory? Also I know the Apple patent was very specific to the actual smart cover and that Google will be fine.

Nexus label on the rear. I'll take it.
Thanks for passing, more for us who would enjoy it.
This isn't an iPad, enough of the smart cover bs. I paid 60 for a smart cover on my iPad, and it doesn't even protect it lol.

You'll take it back soon. The plastic is too flimsy and no smart awake. Waste of money.

the cover doesn't stay closed. if you drop it and the cover is open, the screen is going to get damaged.

What's that even supposed to mean? He said he knew it wasn't a smart cover.

I dont want it to stand up. I know its not a smart cover.
I want a thin case with a cover for the screen.
Seems like it should work for me.
Also I currently have a leather case that is smart and fits perfectly in.... but I want it thinner.... And I can't get the "looks like a 15 year old nokia case" out of my head.:laugh:
The rubber rounds the edges and raises the screen. Good enough for setting it down and providing some defense from casual tumbles from the bed or couch. I don't want a smart cover, I use a password every time and the button is right there. Why do people always find stuff to complain about, instead of ways to enjoy what you just bought. There will always be something better, find what works for you.

Brand new Portenzo Hardback case. This was just released and is currently on sale for 2 days only @ $19.95! Watch the video for a demo of the super stick grip tape.
I'm still a very happy Portenzo BookCase customer. their quality and customer service is outstanding!

I ordered one. I'll post some pics next to the bookcase when I get it.

I have the BookCase and I'm thinking of ordering one of these too. I need to stop this case addiction!
It's nice but there's no way to make this stand right?
Sounds right. No stand.
Looks a lot like the Dodo Case to me.
Ordered one. All black with a red elastic strap. Thanks!

It does, but the Dodo is way more expensive and only available in 4 colors. Portenzo has a better reputation, less expensive and way more colors to chose from. Looks like I am buying another Portenzo today!
I will post pics when I get it.
Was liking it until I saw the adhesive approach to securing the device. Like everything else about it - moleskine type design, quality materials.
Anyone have any experience with the sticky pads?
Do they leave any residue if you remove your device?
I'm assuming they are a one time use as well?

If it's anything like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008A1XN28/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
Then the "sticky" is extremely sticky!
Enough so that when I tried to remove the N7, the back cover came off the tablet!
I don't mean that in some awful "it broke!" way...it's just that the adhesive is stronger than the tablet's back cover retainers.
So if you were scared to pry open your N7 with a screwdriver...this is an alternate way to open it.
But if you're careful and go slow, the tablet comes off and there is no residue.
The adhesive can be wiped down with water and when it dries, it's good to go!
I tested the case on my N7, then put my Galaxy Tab 2 7" in it, then back to the N7.
Since the Portenzo costs more than twice as much...I'd hope their adhesive is just as good if not better to work with than the $9 case!
Ordered mine yesterday in firetruck red! Pretty excited about this. I was looking for something classy but with thin profile so Bookcase came close but this hardbook was a better fit for my needs.
Does anyone now how long it takes for them to ship? Happy Friday all
I wonder how the quality compares to the dodocase.

I have the casemate tuxedo for the kindle fire using the sticky pad. It's re-usable and does not leave a residue. I sent my first kindle back and got a replacement from Amazon, no issues re-applying the pad on the replacement, just as sticky as the first time.
cant make it stand though, so a big nono for me
was going to wait till i got home to order but byt he time i did the price was back up to 39.99 :crying:
Looks like a good alternative to the Dodocase! I managed to place an order before the sale ended too. At $19.99, it was too good of a deal to pass up.
I just ordered mine (yes I know I said it looks like the Dodo but I couldn't help myself). And it was still 19.99 only I ordered the composition which added 9.99.

I didn't see any threads discussing cases/screen protectors for the Note 3. Worth such a big screen and price tag I feel it's ab pretty valid discussion. I am currently using the black Incipio Watson Folio case. It was my pick of the 2 options att offered when I bought it Friday morning. Along with the Moshi I visor XT screen protector. Which was also 1 of 2 options available.

Sounds cool. I couldn't find a case for mine but i got the invisashield HD for mine.

I let GayT&T soak me for a rapey $47.56 for a BodyGuardz Pure. Is comparable to the Spigen GLAS.Tr, but the Tr doesn't come out till the 10th, and i needed protection pronto.
Is a piece of glass that sticks to your screen. hardly noticeable. Very smoothy. I am very pleased. doesn't appear that it will begin to lift around the edges or anything. It is slightly corny up at the very top, it almost appears to have a negative taper that is beginning to collect slight amounts of pocket lint, but nothing really.
Sales on the Pure don't include MOH hardness ratings, etc. does seem inferior to spigen with higher price tag to boot. first day in the store was yesterday

Have you noticed any dots or impressions on the invisashield hd from the spen?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
I've been an invisashield user for many years and yeah it will get crazy like that but not that noticeable if at all when the screen is on. It will correct itself over time but continued use of the s pen it won't ever really have time to heal. I don't think it's that bad at all myself but that's just an opinion.

Im without a case myself at the moment too. AT&t had one really cheap and sad back plate case (made of cheap plastic). So I am waiting for something to be released, the AT&t guy did say he had some memos saying Samsung was working on one, just sad it didn't drop on release. But I guess I can wait, at least until I drop my phone and then scream "Damn it if only I had a case!"

Yes, you can't beat the price.

I've always used best skins ever but the price seems to good to pass. Can anyone compare the 2. Also is the dry one they have even worth it? Most cheap protectors end up getting filled with scratches after a couple weeks

They're excellent, with 80% off they are gorgeous.
Just bought 2.
Thank you
The dry ones are just like the crappy, scratch prone protectors. Learn from my mistake & don't bother.
I can vouch for their normal ones though, Zagg/BestSkins quality!

Btw, thanks for the info
Using it on my N5. Bought one for my M8 and for my gf iPhone 5c. I think they are pretty nice.

Looks like the code has expired. Just tried to use it and it isn't taking it anymore says it expired on the 16th. Hate I missed out.
Bought some when they were 90%. Got a bad batch and contacted customer service. They immediately sent replacements. It's still curing but I'm liking the look thus far. I bought the full body protection. I like how the back has a better grip now.
If anyone has a new discount code for these, please pass it on. Would love to try them out. Thanks.
Just got mine today, shipped to Sweden in about a week.
Bought 1 regular and one "HD" (dry install). Payed all together $2 (!!!) with shipping to Sweden.
Just applied the dry HD one, looks all right, but doesn't reach all the way out to the edges, missing 1,5-2 mm.
Got 2-3 dust particles stuck when applying, and all of them creates a small air pocket around it, that I hope will go away.
Gonna let it stay on for a while, and see how it works out.

Thanks so much for the link!
Got two dry-apply screens for 80 cents!
I just needed the thinnest scratch-resistant screens to protect the Gorilla Glass of the M8. I'm putting the rest of it in a heavy-duty 2-layer silicone and polycarbonate case anyhow.
Just got a full body kit and hd protector for 1.30 thanks! I thought I'd get away form the Invisible Shields, and these look promising
Do I miss discount? Anyway, can someone who uses protector for back side can share his/her thoughts? I don't like screen protectors but I consider to buy protector for back side.
