Aluminium/Metal Case?

Just wondering if anyone could recommend an aluminium/metal type case for my i9020. Preferably looking for one in a white/silver/grey colour.
Alternatively, has anyone used this case/do you think it would be good quality?
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/13055010...AX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_1545wt_905

The only other metal case I've ever seen listed for the i9020 is one listed on amazon, it's called BoxWave Nexus S Armor, I'd post a link but I'm new and can't do that yet
Can't recommend as I've never used it, but it looks tough.

The one you quoted in ebay is very cool. I would like to know how it works for i9023.

I managed to find a silver one on ebay, will post pics when it arrives and let everyone know if it is good quality. Sorry shockem but I don't know anyone with a i9023, which is quite funny because that's the model they sell in Australia but all my friends imported theirs.

Not really a case, but I thought this was kind of cool

i got impatient and purchased that case anyways i got the black one which one did you get

that one you listed on ebay looks a little cheap-ish... just sayin.g that boxwave one looks ok, but i forsee that hinge/latch thing being a problem. looks like it open kind of easily. anyone else find anything of higher quality anywhere else? ive been looking for hours to no avail.

Hi guys, I received the case last week but I have been swamped with work so I didn't get to post a little review on the case. Sorry about the quality of these pictures the lighting is extremely bad.

Front view of phone, this photo is the most accurate in regards to the colour of the case, the silicone front is definitely black.
The volume buttons and power button have black silicone over them. Ignore the colouring of this photo, bad lighting.
Back comparison, I purchased the silver one. There is a cut out at the bottom for usb/headphone ports.
View from back with case on. It is a bit of a fingerprint magnet.
TERRIBLE TERRIBLE lighting showing the front view of the case on the phone.
OPINION: After using the case for a week I am very happy with it. Yes, it is a cheap case but to me it was worth the $4.40 Australian I paid. I especially like the cold feeling and the solidity of the case. I didn't have an incident in which I dropped the phone on concrete and I dinted the bottom corner of the case but it is not that bad. Overall I like the case but I will probably be purchasing another one in a few months because it will get pretty scratched from my fingernails and floating around in my handbag etc.
Any other questions about the case? Just ask.

Very nice. where I can buy?

Search ebay for 'nexus s metal case' and about 30 different listings should come up, most are for this exact same case.
I bought from this listing.

Handmade padded pouch/sleeve

Found a simple padded zip pouch. I'm still gonna get the official ASUS smart cover as well, but wanted a travel pouch to throw on the passenger seat and to put in my messenger bag. Also glad my money is going to an actual person and not some crap Belkin company that over charges for garbage.

Aloha! /shaka

Looks great! Thanks I think I'm going to order one!

Just ordered! Case looks really nice is exactly what I'm looking for. I like the feel of the tablet alone and not some clunky trifecta-folding-triangle that you can put your pens and credit cards in. This + a screen protector = all you should need!
Thanks for link!!

Exactly my thoughts! I definitely don't want to hold some folding case every time I use the device.

Looks like the perfect case to hold you over until you find something you want.

The Snupped ones seem pretty cool, but I'm not sure about having to ship it over from Singapore. The first Etsy post was not bad either. I'm wondering if groups like Byrd & Bell (wool + leather) will start making them for the Nexus 7, but they do have one for the Kindle Fire (which would probably fit). The only thing is that it's pretty expensive for a sleeve ($48).

Awesome design by the way.

Fernfiddlehead (Etsy)
I got this one last week, and I'm very happy with it-- it's well made, and looks great (just like the pictures):
Her shop has other nice pouches, as well: http://www.etsy.com/shop/fernfiddlehead?section_id=11831403

Etsy is a good site but Regretsy is better

Which Case? (in UK)

Been really struggling to decide on the case for me after returning one. I'm really after a case similar to the iPad ones, slim and can be used to stand.
The Poetic one seems good but the thread on here seems almost all American. It's £20 here on Amazon and has had no reviews which is unusual. Is it worth that and is it the same? Sounds like I need the 3rd version.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Poetic-Slim...CPTQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1348174175&sr=8-3
If not are there any similar cases out there in the UK that people recommend? I'd also ideally like a colour as apposed to just black but it's not essential.
Thanks.

Any of these should do you..

Hi thanks,
Those all look ok but I'm pretty fussy when it comes to cases and I'm not sure any of those are quite what I'm after. Mostly they're too 'bitty'.
Basically this but for the Nexus & a good quality.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Invision®-I...3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1348175759&sr=1-3
I was waiting for Invision to release a Nexus one but they're no longer making them.

Seems like this is the perfect case for you, they come in these colours, it also has the magnet sleep function and a stand mode!

Here's my review, :good:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1892017

Thanks spooke, I saw your review, looks close to what I'm after. How is it for typing with in landscape? From the photos it looks like it might sort of bounce up and down a bit as you're typing.

Most of these stand cases fall over as soon as you touch them.
I might be saying this out of anger because just had a terrible experience off eBay for one of these cases, totally different colour than purchased, lied about dispatch, kept changing delivery date, not very well made, not stitched in properly.
But yeah, like I said don't take my word for it, could be anger.

If you type in landscape with the flap all the way around like this,
Then it doesn't move much and is angled like a keyboard. If you try to type with in in the 'stand' mode then it starts to move but if you hold it slightly and type it's fine.

I received mine very quickly from E-Cell, defiantly recommend them.

I got this one which is basically the same as what Troute already posted: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ultra-Sli...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item3a79167146 You can get it in different colours as well. But it does look pretty much like the one you posted without the ugly PU leather (sorry, just don't like that stuff!). Haven't had it long but sleep function works great, good quality, doesn't fall over, and would buy it again.
Another user has a review and pics over here (I know they're from the US but it is the exact same one): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840085

Spooke, yeah that's the picture I was referring to, it looks like your fingers pushing down would make it bounce a bit, maybe wrong.
Artcon, those look pretty good, thinking I might give one of those a go. Just not too sure about the way it has the hard grey back and then the coloured material on that, looks kind of strange. Will think about it, hopefully they have a green one somewhere, if not I think purple will be good. Also just waiting to hear from Poetic in UK about theirs. Can understand you not liking the PU leather, personally don't mind it, prefer it to the different materials as mentioned above I think.
Thanks though guys.

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

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.

TPU/plastic Bumper only case

Hello All,
Tried to look for this via search, google/youtube and can't seem to find one. There seems to be various aluminum bumpers on Ebay but from what I've been told/read it does reduce wifi/cell so definitely don't want that and not really keen on aluminum protection.
I'm getting a Dbrand Skin sent in and would like the bumper protection. I'm pretty careful with my phones but occasionally will drop and that soft tpu bumper really works well. Unfortunately it seems like everything TPU made comes with a back cover. I'd rather not cut-out a clear bumper since it'll be rough/ragged lol.
Anyone seen, know of one?
Best,
Zio

Try the RhinoShield bumper from Evolutive Labs. I think they'll begin shipping them in a few weeks. According to their website, the do sell one for the Galaxy S7 now. Hope that helps.

Thanks Sade! I've reached out to the company to see if they have plans to do so.

Had a rhinoshield on my note 5 and loved it. It did make the phone wider and taller, but it was nice to feel the glass on the front and back of the phone; plus great confidence for drop protection. There's some youtube videos on their product.

With the glass back on the Samsung phones, I think I'll feel a lot better with a case that protects the back, too.

If you get the rhinoshield bumper get the back screen protector with it as it is excellent

I've got a mahogany DBrand skin so got the back part covered! I'm mostly careful with my phone. If I ever do drop it, it's usually on to my carpet when getting off the couch or bed lol.

Got a response from the folks @ RhinoShield just hours after contacting 'em:

For the s7 Edge we are still looking for way to overcome the difficulties associated with its contoured sides. If we have a breakthrough for it, you can be sure that we will announce it at our Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/evolutivelabs ( https://www.facebook.com/evolutivelabs ).
