I know using a case makes the phone more rugged and stuff but i like my phone thin... do you think i really need case for my nexus s?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
i do have it
too thin isn't good enough to hold , i have it slipped out of hand few times ...
Well i have a case and it's one of the thin case but i prefer a little bit thinner... any suggestions?

if you are willing to play your phone's life , and if it doesn't hurt you when your phone is dropped or scratched, then take off your case ...
otherwise ....
Well if you put it that way... can you recommend any nice and thin case?

Ringke makes a very thin case if you like the style:
http://www.rearthusa.com/Nexus-S_c_109.html
It's pretty close to my idea of a perfect case when it's new, but it tends to stretch out after a month or two.
A quality alternative is the Mercury case, but it's significantly thicker. The phone is thin to begin with, so I didn't mind the added bulk--I actually enjoy the little bit of bulk it adds.
Looks not that bad... i don't really mind scratch... I'll give it a try later on... thanks

Its like any other sized rubbery case... but this one is hard gel.. =] so yes

No not at all actually. unless you are capable of dropping it.
That is not a bad case at all iGoogle. However it doesn't fit an i9023 (or NS4G).
Also, you can get it from eBay for about $1.70 or so, which is where i got mine (which i sadly can't use..). Easily the best bang-for-buck case available, if bought from eBay.

Will it fit a i9020a nexus s?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
search for "nexus s s line case" in ebay.
Its relatively thin and super cheap.
I don't like the feel of the buttons but apart from that I think it's a great case.

You don't need a case.
You don't need a case neither a screen protector. They make your nexus look very big.
The screen is very good, and very hard to scratch. About the back cover, it scratches very easily, so you can change it for another official back cover from time to time. One with NFC and everything is six dollars on ebay.

Just received mine this morning, for the money it's a fantastic case (the carbon fiber effect looks a little cheap but fine for the price and it's well made) and the magnets and stand work perfectly!

I quite like the Carbon fiber lol. Has a premium feel to it and the stand is very sturdy thanks to the support on the back. Have the white to match my S3 (Not my S2 in the background, that's my colleagues')
I've had this case for a couple of days and it's a bargain for the price, feels solid, the lock/sleep function works well and the N7 fits snugly inside, I have a few niggles such as the stand doesn't work very well in vertical orientation (may just require some more breaking in of the pleather), and the velcro strap that holds the N7 in place causes the case to bulge a little on one side. But I'm not sure you can really expect perfection from something in this price range, the free stylus/pen is a nice addition too.
Just ordered one myself today.

Hiya i also purchased the ghub pro pop carbon fibre case (in black not white) which was great but i love the pen and would have happily just paid the 10 pounds for the pen. Im forever using my tablet even when I'm eating so the beauty of this pen for me is that i can use the tablet without getting the screen dirty. Im guessing they must of sent you a wrong one in error
I need to find some a couple more of these i know I'm going to lose the one i got free with the case. Hopefully they will sell it separately as well i have emailed the seller GHUB
also brought a bluetooth speaker called sw50 from the same seller as well to stream the music from this device and also from my s3 phone @19.99. check it out its louder than my bedroom hi fi
anyway just signed on to thank whoever started this thread as he lead me to the right case which also arrived in less than 24 hours as well
thanks
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!

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.

Used one of those elmers painting pens for pastic. For not taking apart my nexus it came out fairly well.
Got the idea after seeing that article about carphone warehouse listing a 32gb nexus and a galaxy nexus 2. the picture they had of a nexus had a black trim. went to walmart and bought the paint pen asap.

Took some pics on my break. Going to redo it tonight now that I got some masking tape. I'll feel more confident getting closer to the screen.
just curious if using Gaffer tape would be easier. it's strong enough and it's removable

I would use a low-tack masking tape, gaffer tape (duct tape) would be far too adhesive IMO.
Transmitted from either Nexus7 - Tab2 - GT-N7000 - i9100
Gaff tape doesn't have the nasty adhesive of duct tape (until it gets old and dried out/dusty ). It would look all weird though because it's like a fabric.
I might have to do this to my nexus as well. Mainly because the silver paint chipped off a little bit on the top.

the elmers paint pen comes off pretty easy with your nail but stays on during regular use just fine. i've already stripped it to redo again tonight. beware though, you will run out of paint in the pen by the time your done.
Someone should attempt this using Plasti-Dip. If you don't know what it is, it's like spray paint, but it creates a rubbery layer over whatever you spray, and you can peel it off later if you don't like it. It's very popular DIY product for cars.
I did some googling and it looks like some people have already attempted using it on phones, usually battery covers and cases, but I think it should work fine for this, and I'd be very curious to see the results.

Looks like my Nexus 7 I got at the Google I/O conference. The ones with the white backs they gave out also have black trims.
I think its funny the the pic they show on the N7 box shows one with a black trim not silver. Haha
Im tempted to try this, but first I want to do what another user posted and colour the X on the back in the Nexus Colours.
He used tape and it looked awesome.
Could be a nice little project its just buying a whole roll of coloured tape (For each colour = 4!) for a little strip is pointsless haha :/
Not bad Op. Time to get the guts together and do the same

I agree. The trim should have been black from the start, and aluminium or stainless steel painted black would have been great!

I wonder, can the silver trim be separated from the body? This would make changing it to black much easier.

PROJECT FINISHED!
So after another full day of measurements and trial-n-error ... I finally got a finished product, well a few actually ... well a finished product with a few options lol.
Right now I'm rocking the Black skin on my Gear Gen.1 and it looks awesome! SO clean and sleek looking with just enough chrome to set it off with an expensive luxury look, but is now fully protected on all of its sensitive spots. The clasp protector was originally made because as a graphic designer, my wrist settled and was banged on a desk basically 8 hours a day, and that was my cure to keep my watch looking brand new. The full face idea came just for the option to change the color of my watch, the stainless steel looks great and all, but gets played out and sometimes just looks too much ... But I dealt with it, not really having any time to sit and work the schematics for a full face protector. Then it got to the point where I had to hang a towel over the hand railing of the treadmill because every once in a while I would accidently bang my watch off of it while doing my cardio at the gym, luckily the steel has held up well and I've always had one of my screen protectors on it, so it hasn't really been a big deal.
Now with a finished product in hand and on my wrist, I'm just kind of pissed I "back burnered" this project for so long! lol. As I stated before, I know everyone has kind of moved on to the new Gear 2 and the Gear 1 is kind of old news, But I still sell GG1 Screen & Clasp Protectors on a daily basis so I know there's still somewhat of a market for stuff like this. Regardless, I'll have my hands on a GG2 here soon to play around with and while doing so I will have a chance to get the measurements for this type of product for the new Gear 2 and possibly Gear Fit, neither have a speaker in the clasp, But I know the Gear 2 has a stainless steel clasp, and speaker or not, that thing is getting banged up ugly from daily use. So all the GG2 people, stay tuned because that project is just around the corner.
Since I originally dropped the GG1 Screen & Clasp Protectors at the end of last year I've seen a boom in people selling products like it on web-stores and places like eBay & Amazon, I'm not saying in anyway that I invented these, But when I made them, the Gear was fresh on the shelves and I couldn't find anything to protect the exposed/sensitive parts of my $300 investment, and once sold to the general public they really took off! and I thank the people here at XDA especially for being my "Beta Testers" in a way and hopefully the people who bought them here were completely satisfied! It was extremely shocking that something I made for fun/necessity turned into an actual marketable successful product and doing it literally as a one man team was a bit much at times, but awesome! ANYWAYS! the difference between what is currently being offered when it comes to full face protectors for the GG1 and what I was able to put together is, my skin covers the ENTIRE front of the gear, As far as I've seen on the net, they only cover the top and bottom portion of the Gears stainless steel face (If I am missing any out there by all means piss on my parade lol) mine are designed to cover the entire front for full protection as well as the option to change the look of the Gear all together. Pretty cool I think.
With all this being said, the only real challenge I faced upon finishing the design was getting the skin onto the Gear and on correctly, the material used for the skin is very flimsy and hard to maneuver, kind of like putting a screen protector on a phone, but worse! lol.
BUT! within a few minutes I had a solution, which was actually a perfect solution. Not only did it do the trick of being able to easily handle the material while putting the face protector on, it made it extremely easy to keep the skin perfectly straight and allow the installer to line everything up perfect for a perfect hassle-free installation (when done correctly) so I am pretty excited about it, and when these become available to the public (Very Soon!) that installation material will be sold with the protectors.
I've also decided to scratch selling the Clasp Protector by itself now that the Face Protector is done and they will be sold as a set, overall less confusing for the customer and myself when it comes to filling an order and just makes more sense. But now that I have a few color options available (more coming very soon!) I think I would be willing to mix and match colors/patterns with the Face & Clasp Protectors if anyone asked.
On that note as you will see in the pictures I currently have 4 color options available:
- BLACK (Jet-Black)
- PURPLE (Deeper Purple, Almost Plum)
- GRAY (Storm Cloud Gray, somewhat close to the gray color offered by Samsung on the Gear 1)
- GREEN (Darker, sort-of hunter Green)
COLORS/PATTERNS I PLAN TO HAVE VERY SOON:
The original Chrome/Steel color I offered with the GG1 Clasp Protectors which seamlessly matched the stainless on the GG1.
- Red
- Yellow
- Blue
- White
- Brown
- Orange
- Carbon Fiber
- Leopard/Zebra Print
And any other Miscellaneous colors/patterns I can get my hands on, just to offer a wide variety and the buyer the option to uniquely express themselves.
And now for the new pictures (Better detail and well-lit pictures to come):
SAME ORIGINAL CLASP PROTECTOR JUST MATCHED WITH FACE SKIN.
And just to show off a little bit of the design aspect of what goes into designing something like this:
Let me know what you think! I cant tell you how happy I am with the final product, it looks awesome in person, these pictures show a great representation, but don't do the final product justice compared to in person, the quality and fit make it look like theres no decal at all, looks like the watch came this way! Very happy!
And again, any and all input appreciated!
Thanks!

ORIGINAL POST:
Hey Guys, I know in my last post on the "Galaxy Gear Clasp Protector Thread" that I said I kind of gave up on further development for the Skin Protectors for the Gen. 1 Gear ... Well I kind of got a second wind on it today and actually sat down and got to work on it, and its a pretty big undertaking as expected, way more variables involved in the front of the Gear than on the clasp ... But I got pretty far on development today and got a few pictures of the first mock up.
They are in Black, That's the original color that I wanted to do all this in to give the watch more of a subtle/played-down look, in my opinion the way Samsung should have originally done it or at least offered the option instead of all the chrome, and I believe the Gear 2 Neo has the full black-out look.
Obviously once this is fully finished, the color and pattern options are endless. One problem I came across while putting this together was covering the side chrome of the watch face (See pictures) which isn't a huge issue to me, gives the watch a little bling and keeps a little bit of the luxury look, this my no be everyone's cup-o-tea, and I may try and play around with a side flap option, problem is, just like the clasp protectors, this can only be able to be achieved with fold cuts. And obviously the Clasp Protector will stay the same because I think I got the best result I can on those, and with any other color besides the original chrome I offered, you can see the Protector is present because of the cut outs and the unprotected chrome areas of the clasp.
Either way, the progress I've made today alone are pretty substantial in my opinion and think I'll have a solid product ready for the public by the weekend. I know the Gear 2 is out and has taken off in popularity, But I plan to stick with my Gen.1 until it dies or they release one that blows my mind, and I can only assume there are still people who feel the same, so hopefully all of this work wont be for nothing, but we'll see.
So without further ado, check the pics and let know what you think ... any and all input is appreciated! Is this something you would think about picking up? any aesthetic adds or changes you'd like to see? again any and all input helps.
Il buy one, looks pretty awesome if i might say so.

never dealt with Amazon, don't really know what that entails to be honest ... but I'll def look into it! And I hadn't worked out a price yet, but for a face Protector and 4 clasp protectors probably around $10ish.
That looks clean!!! I would for sure buy 1 off of you!! Let us know when they available for purchase!!!

They do look nice, I just happened to put one on mine but definitely recommend getting one for your gear.It really protects it from scratching it up.

I'm doing everything I can to get these up for sale by the end of the weekend. I think I will have these up on xda for sale for a few days before I put them up anywhere else. If you have a PayPal and would like to grab one now and as soon as I get the packaging in order (installation instructions and what not) it'll ship est. Mon-tues ... let me know, and any color besides what listed above are ordered and will take a little while to get in and print.

Gotcha! Thanks for replying! And your protectors were shipped yesterday, thanks for picking up a set, hope you enjoy them.
I switched it up from Black and rocking the purple today, def sharp looking, lol went for more of a "Murple" (Man-Purple) then a standard purple. White was ordered yesterday though.
