I am currently using the seidio active on the nexus 7. I like the protection but I am looking for something a little bulky. I liked head cases on amazon but don't care for the designs on them. I am looking for something similar to them but like a solid color and no design on it. Or something similar to but cheaper than the the Incipio feather. I was hoping to find a nice polycarb case.
Look here.

Hey guys I recently stumbled onto a new brand of cases. The brand is called imak and the cases they look pretty nice. They currently have 3 types of cases for the nexus 7.
The first one is called the imak slim. You can eBay search it as there are multiple posts of this case. Its like the incipio feather but much cheaper. It looks pretty high quality not like other eBay cases.
Price - $13.20
The third one is the imak cowboy. Its basically the same as the imak slim but with a more rugged texture. Same as a above just type in imak cowboy to find the case on eBay.
Price - $14.30
The third one is my favorite but a little more expensive. Its called the imak luxury. It is really good looking and is made from genuine leather. It looks awesome. The problem is that there is only one posting and it is shipped using economy shipping. Which could take up to 4 weeks to come. I'm going to be ordering one of these. The quality of the case is amazing. BTW there are only 9 left so get em while you can .
Price - $22.99
Ohh and did I mention you get a free screen protector with each case.
All these cases are on eBay.
I don't know man it does not look like good quality. The texture itself is not smooth and looks very tacky. I am not sure if I would be comfortable with a brand that says iMak on my Nexus...lol. It is cheap though compared to the other high end quality cases like the Noreve. That case cost me around $70 which is ridiculous price but you get what you pay for. The biggest thing I would be worried about is that this thing is coming from china. You might as well get the Speck nexus case for $35 which is really nice and genuine. Good Luck
I'm going to go ahead an order one of the slim cases. I will report back once I receive it.

Please report back with a review or some pics of the slim case. Im also thinking about it.
I'm going to get a blue slim case and a grey cowboy case. You can get them much cheaper at this site. Will post a review of both of them once I get them.

I used imak cowboy for my S3. The quality seems quite good and I like it because it's so slim and provide good grip for S3. Will try to look for nexus 7 cover.
I think you can buy better looking better protection for the same or less money, those slim cases you link to are basically book type covers without any edge protection
Hi guys. Well I just got my nexus 7 a few days ago. I've been looking through the forums but sadly all I see is leather cases. Can someone recommend a good non leather case for my nexus 7. Thanks !
Very few of them are actually leather. They are mostly "vegan leather" which I guess is the latest term for artificial leather (sigh, I'm old enough to remember Naugahide). But there are reviews on the Otterbox, Seidio, Treegloo and many other non-"leather " cases in this subforum. Did you even look through it?

I did look through some of them, really wasn't interested in the treegloo, but i guess i'll check out seidio.
I dont like using "Leather" to my case, since they tend to thread apart...
Use TPU material case, IMO they offer more protection, since its rubber and bouncy...

What kinda case do you want? A book style case, a screen cover, plastic cover and edges, something else or a sleeve? we know what you dont want - a leather case but what do you want? once you figure that out we can move on to finding what you want or something similar.
Right now i have a case logic sleeve until my treegloo, if it ever, gets here. there are other book style cases if thats what your into, Portenzo, reauthored, and recently dodcase came out with a similar case - with the wood frame.
I'm really digging my Poetic case:
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimli...359146334&sr=8-1&keywords=poetic+case+nexus+7
Very low profile. Adds almost no bulk and the stand function works much better than I suspected.
Here's my review of the rooCASE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2110758
I'm looking for a new case for my Note 2 and I have been researching a bunch of options. I really like the feeling of the HTC One X+ (HTC calls it Carbon) and would prefer that feel in a case. Less rubber and more matte feel. I have seen a lot of glossy backs which offer no good slip from the hand protection for such a big phone. Another note to mention is I am not wanting a Barely there style case or anything too thick like a defender case. With that said, here is my list.
Otterbox Commuter
Aegis Trident
Seidio Surface with Kickstand (worried about the two piece wearing out)
Urban Armor Gear Navigator
Any suggestions or experience with any of these?

Take your time to read through my reviews: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192333
I wish it would be a sticky in this forum for people to find it easier...
Its actually probably better that its not a sticky. So many people just overlook those all together. Especially considering on the xda app the stickies are in a different tab.
I do however use your reviews quite frequently when looking for new accessories and will find it wherever they put it haha

I actually really like the Seidio Surface. I got one when i first got my note and I have tried other cases including the otter box commuter and with texture and bulk in my oppinion i really like the Surface.
if you want to have access to the battery and SD card slot, avoid otterbox and others that use multiple pieces. Change battery would be a hassle if you have otterbox.
Personally I bought the UAG, it offers one of the best protection, the best looking and you can swap out the battery easily.
I have the Trident and the Commuter. While I find the commuter to be adequately protected, I feel like they missed the mark on unnecessary bulk and one very slippery outer shell. The Trident on the other hand suits my needs for size and protection. I have less protection with the Trident, but it's not as bulky and better to hold. The UAG looks like my next buy, but some say it seems too wide.

I just got my UAG Navigator last week after my first one was stolen/disappered from my mailbox, but that's a whole other story. Anyway I love this case, it's not too bulky or wide while still adding the protection I need. I'm a part-time crafter so I made my own insert cuz I wasn't really liking the ones that were included. I think you'd be very happy with the UAG case. I have the otterbox defender which is good for some situations but not everyday use for me. I also have the Trident case, I like it but the hot pink is starting to turn like a gray-blackish color on the edges which makes the case look dirty to me. Plus the tabs for the usb and earphone connections don't always go back like they're suppose to. Don't really know how to describe it, maybe someone from the forum who has one of these cases can better describe what I'm trying to say. I give the UAG case a 10+!!

I got the UAG and it works great. The left side however is a little squeaky. Very subtle so it doesn't bother me.
Hi, can anyone recommend me a case for the international G2. I really like the new iphone 6 silicone case: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MGQF2ZM/A/iphone-6-silicone-case-black . Is there anything like that for the G2? Incipio Feather Case seems to be something like that, but its only for the Verizon model Is there anything else similar? I dont want something really rugged, but I do want to to stand small drops (so ultra slim plastic cases are out of question). Plus Id like it to be made of rubber or silicone or something that is not slippery. Hope someone can help out Thanks!
What do you guys think about the "Cruzerlite Bugdroid" case VS "Incipio DualPro".
Mainly in terms of slimness (is it a word?) and drop protection. Obviously you cant have something slim and have decent drop protection. But what would be the best compromise between these two?
Oh and how would the "Slim Armor" compare against these aforementioned two cases?
In my opinion spigen slim armor is better.. The first one made no real protection, the other is a spygen clone.

I got a CellJoy two-peice case from Amazon and am really happy. Other than the fact that the stand doesn't work too well, is a great case.

I can't find anywhere to buy a diztronic or poetic or incipio feather cases. Our g2 is just old now.. Are there any good other cases that you can recommend?

I am using This case
As far as I can tell you,I am positive it is a Spiegen Slim Armor copy.
However,it feels good in the hand,and you can still beat the crap out of somebody with your phone in it. xD
I am using a nekeda white/black case which is rubbery but textured. Really like it but I also saw those silicone iphone cases...please update if you find something like that

The title pretty much says it all, I'm getting a Nexus 5x in a few days and I'm looking for a nice case to protect it.
I was looking for a leather case that only covers the back of the phone because I don't like those bookstyle things with a flap covering the front.
So basically I'm looking for a nice and thin case (like this http://www.amazon.com/Ringke-Protector-Snug-Fit-Essential-Coverage/dp/B014RS5L9U) but made from leather (or at least something that looks and feels like leather). I know that cases of this type are available for the iPhone because I've seen them around my university but i couldn't find anything like it for the Nexus.
Here you go -- http://www.tetded.com/home/en/nexus...5x-lg-nexus-5x-h790-caen-prestige-black-.html
I have one and I like it a lot. The layer of leather wrapped around the shell case is pretty thin, but has worn in nicely.
Thanks a lot. This looks great, more expensive than i thought but exactly what I wanted.
Anyway do you know where they ship from or have any experience with shipping to the EU/Germany?
