Hello,
I am looking for a good case for my nexus. The problem is I'm located in Spain, and all the good ones (like the Blurex Ultra Slim) aren't available here.
I finally bought an el-cheapo faux leather smart cover in eBay. It works well and looks pretty good. The problem is that it has 2 magnets to keep it closed and one of them interferes BADLY with the compass (it just doesn't work with tha tablet in the case). I've been reading that if you leave your compass near a magnet for too long, you can damage it, so I'm going to return the case.
Now I don't know what to do... I'm thinking about buying the official travel case for 19.95€, but I think it is too expensive for what it offers. Any suggestion that I can buy from Spain?
Thanks!

Good idea
Sombody tried the "IVSO® Google Nexus 7 Tablet Slim-Fit Folio Cover Case"? (sorry, I can't post links yet...)
It looks good, but I want to make sure the magnet plays well with the compass (don't want to end up returning it like my eBay case). Has anybody bought it?
Thanks!
I think this is a good option (find first ebay link) for us

Looks great! Has someone checked if this one has problems with the compass? it seems this one also has a magnet to keep it closed.
I don't want to buy it just to discover I can't use Sky Map with it again
Thanks!!

Don't know what cases you are on about but the advice I would give you this:
If you intend to use the phone in the case all the time then the design that you should go for is one that leaves the whole face of the HD2 open to you otherwise you will have problems operating the phone.
Alternatively go for a case where you can take the phone out to use; however make sure the case completely holds the phone in securely when its in there.
SuperEtrader were selling a belt pouch where you could not even close the flap when the phone was in it. They claimed it was HD2 compatible.
Finally, having bought 5 cases now, you get what you pay for......

i have just bought one of these for work. very good quality for the money. my only complaint is that the hard-buttons can sometimes get pressed and cause the fone to wake, depending on where you have it on you and what you are doing.
all-in-all, a good pouch.

Tell me how it is anyway will ya?

try this for a Pouch instead of a case? thinking of getting it. with the hd2 having similar dimensions to the iphone try some of the cases for that as their is millions of them
HD2 = 121 x 67 x 11 mm
Iphone 3G = 115.5 x 62.1 x 12.3 mm
Im looking for something which the phone constantly stays in, which can be opened via a flap like thing, which isnt bulky.
thanks though

Anyone here bought the PO S511 case for hd2? Recommend to buy?
I have the S511.... Its perfect and not too expensive.... I've tried a couple of other cases but keep coming back to this one.... I had the same style case for my HD - I preferred the "side opening" book style case but you soon get used to the difference.

where u bought ur S511?
Ebay UK seller.
I've got one and am happy with it. Build quality and fit are good. This is the only case I've used for the HD2 so obviously can't compare it to anything else but I don't feel the need to find anything better.

thanks for sharing. how much u bought urs?
anyone knws where can i buy it online?
I have this case and I've not been impressed with it at all. The main problem with it is the two rails which tho phone slides into wrap around the front of the phone right where the on screen keyboard sits. This makes it very difficult to select keys which are close to the edges of the phone. (it also makes it difficult to use the outer most quick links)
Everytime I need to type any messages of any length I invariably end up taking the phone out of the case as its just too frustrating to use otherwise.
Also, I don't think this case would give little protection to the phone if it was dropped and landed on either of the top corners.

RayMie87..... why are you asking the same questions over and over again???? The link I gave you has the price and you can order online? There are a dozen other online outlets including Mobile Fun and of course Ebay too - just search on Google....???
If you have a £500 phone then investing £15 in a good case is a "good" investment..... now stop asking and go and buy.....

Hi guys,
Recently purchased a new hd2 and wondered if there are any pull cases available for it, my google and xda searches have been inconclusive.
thanks

where you pull a strip up on the back of the case which lifts the phone out of the case slightly
I bought one from a seller on eBay.
I had to search 'HD2 case', and then find it by looking at the pictures, very few on there though.

I'm sure he knows how to find eBay
I bought it months ago, I would have to troll through all the listings to find it again.
Seeing as I'm feeling generous:

A great Pull case
Here is a case i bought from ebay. It arrived today and after testing it for a couple of hours I am posting my positive comments and recommendations on it. First of all - it is the cheapest pull case of the "puller is fixed in hole on the side" type (see pictures). Costed me just 8$ (free shipping to Taiwan)
It may seem expensive given the fact that one can order a pull-case for just 2.07$ as in here. But after a sad experience i had with hard case i learned the lession with sad consequences. This case is well worth the price. Soft pleasant leather, soft inner velvet lining, and the pulling design is just brilliant. I used to have a conventional pull case with not fixed "puller tongue". Well, every time i was going to put the phone back into case i had to make sure that the tongue is on the right side (otherwise the phone would not dive till the end) - annoying, especially if you have to do this operation fast, "on the flight". With this design you do not look for the tongue neither while inserting, nor while pulling the phone out.
Too long a review for just a leather case... anyways, nice purchase it seems:
The photos are from ebay site.
P.S. Also they include a screen protector, but i doubt the quality of it, though haven't tried it yet (it seems 0.5 mm longer then needed).
P.S.2 I am by no means related to the seller, I just searched ebay for a leather case, sorted them by S&H price and scrolled down until i found the first one with this design.
Hi Guys,
Looking for a decent high quality, hard plastic snap on case that doesnt add much bulk to the phone.
Anyone know of any?
Nice one....
I'm new so can post a link but search for: LG CCH-120 Kick Stand Hard Case - LG Optimus 2X
Looks good! had any hands on with it? loving the "with Google"
No but it looks very good. I have pre-ordered one as I'm quite clumsy. If Otter Box do a commuter series for the 2X I'll get one.
Have a look at this one.
I have ordered on of these. Everytime you purchase something you can also have a look at your phone.

Really want one - must have!
I also consider getting a case for my O2X.

Guys, this is like a wallet & a phone case. I've seen many people take their wallet & let it rest on the dinning table whilst paying. This occurs in cafes (outdoors too) & very public spaces. You may lose both since they are tied together. Very risky...
Hey,
I usually post in the Nexus S forum, where I review cases (done quite a few now) - I picked up a tab last week and was just wondering if anyone would be interested in me posting reviews here as well. I usually allow people to suggest cases as well!
Just seeing if enough people are interested since tab isn't that new.
Thanks!

Yes I am, because I'm looking for a new case for my Tab
Ef-c980nbecstd
I have this case except for one thing, mine has a flap to cover the front as well.

model number is different, mine in EF-C980NBECSTD, which, when I google it, gives back no results. ..... now it does! http://www.spotit.com.au/buy/80133_GALAXY_TAB___KEYBOARD_DOCK_EF_C980NBECSTD.aspx
mine is also made is korea, better than china, my opinion.
Yes, I've been on the look out for a case with a keyboard as well.
Could you review this one please?
Most of the customer reviews are giving it a one star which is very harsh I don't like the other similar one as much, it relies on a magnetic flap to prop it up. Doesn't look as good

To be fair, it only got one review.
I'm trying to find some for the Zenu case, They are pretty expensive and the only Youtube review is in Spanish. You can find them on Ebay and Amazon, there is several options on color and material too.
