Recommend me a case for i9023

Hi,
I'm looking a case for i9023. I have seen around and still get confused about the thickness of some models being different. So if someone could direct me to the proper cases that would fit perfectly on my phone that would be great.
Things i would like are: Not too big and bulky, I'd like white thin and good looking cases though black will do. Thats about it.
Thanks for your time and your help!

Nillkin white case should do what you're asking for!

nilkin case is the best case out there for i9023. I ordered from obostore u can google it easily. Fyi it took 2weeks for me.

How much protection does this actually have? I can't justify replacing my TPU case which is made for the AMOLED version, but barely fits my SLCD. I want to get it because it looks amazing, but if it can't protect from medium drops there is no point in me getting it.

Guys, thanks for the replies. I ended up looking around and finally decided to get 2 mesh cases fromebay. Igot a black one to fit in with miui's colour scheme and a blue one to fit with ics colour scheme. Thanks for the replies!

There are two types of nillkin cases available. Have a look at obostore

Did you take a look at the Seidio case I love mine with the holster ( belt clip) it's very robust

I use a "CLEAR Soft Flexi Hard Case Samsung Google Nexus S I9023". It fits well, and the quality is acceptable.

Guys, I just bought the nilkin hard case white. Now I just gotta play the waiting game
I didn't get the soft white one that one of you suggested because I wanted a hard plastic one..
But keep the suggestions coming! So that people with i9023 can come here to see different cases available

My silicone case fits my Nexus S just right ;-)

Guys I'm gonna do a review on the nilkin case when it arrives. Can't wait!!

Hi
Someone know if the Ballistic case can fit i9023 model? Someone in this forum seem was able to use it with this model but looking around I found some negative comments about it. The ballisticc manufactor after interpelled can not confirm the compatibility.
Thank you

Make any case a smart case!!

Found this on Amazon so if you have a case you like that isn't a smart case this seems to be a decent alternative.

Thanks for the link! That's rather expensive considering my case cost less than the magnet Is there any way that I could just buy some magnet strips and super glue them to the case?

ROFLMAO $10 for that??? That's extortion! I think I'm just going to go to my local craft store and pick a few up there, surely they will be a fraction of the cost.

That's not a case, just a magnet.

Does anyone know of nay magnet tape that works? I'm in the UK so anything on eBay/Amazon UK would be ideal.

Currently using magnet tape from an arts and craft store. Costed 1.99 for a yard lol.

Does it work? I know some people are having trouble with certain kinds of magnets like the flexible plastic refridgerator type magnets.
Do you have an IO Nexus 7 or a production model?

Yea it is kinda expensive lol I just came across it looking at TPU cases and I've never seen anyone sell that
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Production model. The case needed to be snug otherwise just layer it to fit. I out 3 strips on top of each other to make a friends case work. It has to be flush with the screens sensor.

Do you know if the polarity is a or b?

I have a roll of 1/2" wide adhesive magnetic tape and tried cutting a piece to see if it would work, no dice. must not be strong enough. I'd be concerned with it scratching the screen anyway, but thought I'd give it a try.

Have a look on the Play Store for "CaseSensor for Tablets", turn any case into a smart one using the light sensor.

I made my folio case a smart case by using a small magnet from a desktop toy i had (has little sticks with magnets on the ends and little metal balls for making geometric shapes), used a dremmel and glues it in. Free and works like a charm! I would be happy to sell some magnets for $10 each.. . I'll throw in shipping for free ;P

I was playing around with a magnet to see which side would matter, and it doesn't look like it's polarity specific.

Black carbon fiber battery door replacement

I bought it from ebay.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Carbon-Brus...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item53ef678d0f
I must have been lucky cause it arrived in 6 days - overseas shipping Hong Kong to New Zealand
Overall the fit of the case is really good, fits as good as my oem one. Everything clicks into place.
The carbon fibre immitation weave looks good, its made up of plastic. It kinda reminds me of a wicker basket pattern.
The texture feels alot grippier than stock case and has a matte finish to it.

What about NFC? And does it come in other colors?

I saw this listed on EBay and now that I see what it looks like installed, I may get one myself. I'll bet it would look sweet with a black aluminum bumper case too! My only concern is if it's thicker than the original cover. The bumper cases are a pretty tight fit.

I don't have any calipers to measure it but it feels real slim. At a guess it may be like 1mm thicker but minimal.
I haven't tried removing my stock nfc as I don't use it so can't answer your question

Replacement back cover like flip case?

I'm looking for a back cover replacement thats the same material as the flip cover case from Samsung. Anybody able to find these or something like that? I just got a TPU case from Mercury but it's just about as slippery as the oem back still and adds some thickness. I'm pretty picky about cases, so they have to really be worth it for me too use.
UPDATE: I misspoke. I was under the impression that the flip case from Samsung had a non-slip matte finish on the back, as opposed to the glossy slippery one that's stock. The hunt continues.

Thanks for the picture bigox, it looks good.
Corcor, do you have a screen protector on yours? I got the obliq and it actually fits perfect, I was concerned that some cases may peel the protector off on edges.
I was worried about the orange showing but I saw one in store it is not that bad actually. The case feels soft but I believe it still provides protection.
Did you ever drop your phone with this case on? I am planning to return Diztronic case and get this instead (yeah, 4 times the cost, but it seems like a good one, although I cannot find a single review of anyone owning this for G2)

I do not have a screen protector but I have dropped it and it protected the phone nicely

No microphone hole for AT&T version. That's why I passed on Slim Armor, yes it looks great, probably looks the best among all bulky cases. One reviewer got a response from Spigen saying they will update it, I wonder if they updated it...
