Thats very disappointing

man, i hope they dont take forever to make the 'tough' cases.
I had it on both my nexus one and galaxy s vibrant, it was the best case ever.

totally agree. people who previously had barely there should try tough case, only a extra +$10 but totally worth it. made it feel so solid in the hand

Awesome! I can't wait!!

i cant wait

Seems to be available in the UK! the forum wont let me post a link though
But theres no way I am going to spend $50 for a case... hopefully they come out soon in the US for a more reasonable price

Are we talking about this case from case-mate?

I agree...a barely there case would be great but frankly I'm really wanting something better than my sh***y Platinum Case from BB. If this is available in the US soon for a reasonable price, I might break down and buy it.

Thats it! it looks like ALL the other Pop Cases... what did you expect? I think the pop case is pretty awesome, I have seen them on an Iphone 4 and it really looks great in person. I love the one piece design soft inside and the hard outer shell. Its like the Tough case, but one piece.

I actually like this white one, I also dont mind case-mate's logo

Do i need a case for nexus s?

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?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

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

I currently have a white Nexus S... and this cover makes my phone not feel flimsy... hard gel... great feel =] looks really nice on it... sprint had them but they stopped selling them.. if u go to the mall ull find them there in cell phone Case Booths... 20 bucks =] my phone is like new.. no scratches... no damage. All because this case made it happen =]

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.

I would stay away from ROO cases. I had one for my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 white and it left two marks on the back of it, where it seemed to have rubbed the finish off.

I like this guy. Deadmau5 pic and demanding genuine leather! I'm hoping for a case from these guys: http://www.vajacases.com/ - Got one for my PlayBook last year and it's awesome.
Shame they got shipped and delivered to the UK first yet there are very few accessories released here yet. Will be a while until we have a genuine leather case with the 'smart' magnetic bit.

that case has been on sale for years. it's so ugly. Giant leather bondage strap holding down your nexus 7? ugly.

I picked up a leather smart case similar to this one at Big Lots for $8.00. High quality material ! They have lots of 7" case options there for a budget price......scrarch resistant screen protectors , stylus pens , bluetooth speakers etc....
BigLots. com serach the left hand side by ELECTRONICS to see their tablet stuff.

I say patience is a virtue. We all know the tablet for what it is. You either like it or you don't. Most of us have already pre--ordered and are waiting for them to arrive right now.
As far as the caes go, I'd rather feel what they're like in my hand. Via pictures of cases online, 10 look great for ipad and other devices, however only 1-2 actually feel and function as nice as they seem to be described and pictured online.(not cheap feeling, or feeling like they'l literally fall apart, lacking features cleverly not pictured, etc.

Such a perfect deal. Such a bloody shame they don't ship to Canada

For me none of the cover/cases on Amazon (I was at the local Best Buy to take a look at 7" stuff) are aesthetically pleasing. I ordered a "padded pouch" off Etsy.com and I'm gonna get a sturdy "case" when one becomes available.

Wow, those Vaja cases look cool. Way too pricey though.

you lost me at vegan leather.

Another Bookcover Case

This is on Kickstarter, but they are supposedly going to be ready to ship N7 cases in October. $40 each.

I'll take a Clockwork Orange jacket when available...

Wow. These look great.

It's a novel idea *buh duh chaaaa* but it looks like the inside is made from plastic? It's about the same price as the Portenzo/Treegloo cases without the options too.

Rubberized plastic, it looks like. Might be a bit more durable than wood.

I've been on that kickstarter page since launch but last communication with them, I asked about smart covers. They said they wanted to keep the case simple as possible and not include it.
Other than that, I do agree, they resemble the treegloo/portenzo/dodo/reauthored cases, just without a lot of customization.

[Official] Nexus 10 cover from Google

Hopefully this is a sign of more official accessories to come.

If another thread with this info has already been posted (I didn't see one), my apologies. Feel free to merge or delete this if it's the case.

I wonder if its as bad as the nexus 7 one
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda app-developers app

I like it.. But i tend to put my tablet down on random surfaces so i need a back cover as well

Most of the other cases are better thats just covers the screen and is more expensive but it would be nice if google could release a good hard case
Sent from my Xperia Play (r800x)

About Damn time lol
They shipped these covers to some of the reviewers and they seem pretty nice!
If I remember right, they don't work very well as a stand

I ordered one. My current case is a little worn anyway, so I could use new one. I'll post my thoughts on it when it arrives.

Mine came to $38 with shipping and tax (FL).
I always buy the cheap crap and really want a official case, loved it in The Verge review and have waited for the Scarlet one since I saw it... I also hate my Moko Ultra slim because of the back cover, I want a minimal case
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD

It says scarlet... Is it my screen or does it look more bright orange?

I'll order one tomorrow. Really glad they finally are offering it.

Its unreal how long it took for this to come out. What excuse can there possibly be for a 6 month delay on the first official accessory? So strange to me. Looks decent though.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda premium

Ordered the scarlet one too. I'll post some pictures when it arrives. Including shipping to Germany it came 35,98 €. Compared to eg official Samsung covers it really isn't that expensive. The thing i wonder is, if we may see some more accesoires in the near future (dock perhaps)? Hopefully Google has something more to come...

It came to just over £30 in the UK. 3 - 5 Shipping days. Can't wait!

Guys any video for this official case?
Wat you guys recomment, should I order this or get the poetic slimline???
Price difference of 20 dollars !!
sent from seXperia Z - Black

It doesn't cover the back of the device, or the corners. Much better 3rd party cases already available.

I can't believe I waited all this time for what is effectively a flap. It doesn't even fold into a stand!

I like the concept of not covering the back, but I agree it should fold. It´s seems prety rigid, making it even somewhat uncorfortable to hold the tablet. I will wait for some reviews and photos around here.

Same here, its a crap design for $30. I'm going to stick with the poetic case. Id prefer something that just covered the front (im not clumsy) because the tablet is so thin and light and then folds into a stand but this isnt it.
