$10 bucks isn't bad. Haven't done a great deal of digging yet though for other cases.
Wondering if At&t is going to have any cases on launch. They have been historically bad in the past at carrying anything but iphone accessories on new launches.

I'm hoping AT&T includes a screen protector with it. They have with all other smart phones I've got from them.
Amzer® Silicone Skin Jelly Case - Black For Samsung Focus I917

I can't find a single site selling a silicone case for the Focus right now - or any case for that matter. Where did you get yours?

Just ordered the Amzer Jelly case. It is a stop gap until better cases come out. Fommy is running a special right now. If you act quick, you can get 10% off and free shipping. I paid $8.95 total using promo code "PRESHOP". Good until 23NOV 23:59 est.
Picked up a $7 case on ebay, black silicone. Should arrive any day now and it will tide me over until something better becomes available.

Got my ebay case/skin. It's rubbery, fits well will contours matching the back of the phone. Camera, power, and volume are raised nubs, not cut-outs. Actually this helps with button actuation. Changes the feel of the phone in the hand substantially for the better. You have more control while typing, and you don't feel like the phone will squirt from your hand. Note this is the rubbery-soft type, not the gel type of skin (e.g. like the BodyGlove that AT&T sells).

Is this the one you're talking about? it's pretty cheap and i looked at some people's feedback about the case and they said it was good as well.

Yeah, that's the one, or an equivalent from another seller. I'm sure they are all exactly the same. The kiosks at the mall would sell it for $20.

Amzer Silicone Skin Jelly Case
I ordered the Amzer Silicon Skin Jelly Case for my Samsung Focus from Amzer.com and WOW!!! ... talk about absolute perfection!
I tried the $34 one from the AT&T store and it seemed like an idiot designed it and so of course I didn't expect much from a $10 case but figured it would be something until more are developed for this type of phone.
Boy was I wrong about this being a temporary fix because this $10 thinhg fits absolutely perfect, no obstruction with the buttons, looks amazing, feels like it protects this thing PERFECTLY! and feels so velvety smooth & grippy.
The reason I got mine already is because the black color is out of stock but not the other colors and so I ordered black for myself and maroon red for my wife and so they shipped hers already with no extra shipping charges. AND might I add that the maroon red doesn't look girly at all, it actually looks pretty bad-a%% with the black color of the phone. Of course I'm still waiting for my black one BUT for those want it now, the maroon red is the coolest color right after black.
I just ordered 2 of those jelly cases for the Wife and I, and I ordered a cool leather pouch w/belt clip case from www.focusaccessories.com to hold mine at work...
Could you post pics of your Focus with the Amzer case?

any TPU case out yet for the Nexus S?
I only see the one on amazon for pre order but they only have 3 colors.
I have been interested too... I like how these things look, I doubt we will see some cases by the end of this month, sadly. It might take a month or two before we see some.... As of now there are like three... I think.

this the only one i seen, they have it in smoke grey, clear and hot pink.
This is what i found but.. minimums are too high.. price seems right tho
http://www.alibaba.com/manufacturers/case-for-i9020-nexus-s-manufacturer.html
eBay has some, all from Japan tho so you wouldnt even get it til next month. im hoping more start to come out because the TPU cases are the best IMO.

Yeah, same level of protection like silicon cases, none of the static/stickyness of a silicon one.
Not Japan, Hong Kong. If I buy one I'll make a review.

a 1.4$ TPU case - gotta worth the money
while I was spending my time going over and over again on the "nexus s case" search result on eBay, found this little thing:
http://cgi.ebay.com/TPU-Silicone-Ca...ccessories&hash=item4aa7e90e64#ht_2436wt_1139
for the lazy ppl among us, thats a 1.4$ tpu case! of course its a HK one, but still, gotta be worth the money isn't it?
anyways IMO this thing got a really nice design, its cheap.. as a person who likes changing his phone's appearance every monday that's really attracting..
the only scary thing is that the seller got a 100% feedback but only 130* feedbacks.. well, willing to risk 1.4$ on that
Just thought letting you know about the cheap stuff coming out to our cool phone!
EDIT: if you're ordering make sure you add a note on ebay/paypal with the color you want!!!
Nice find, ordering.
Damn it, I paid and forgot to put color preference in the note.

lol havn't noticed that! I got the blue one it seems really shiny and cool.. the white was seems good also
I ordered something similar, pack of 4 different colors for $12 shipped, though they're not argyle print. Ordered last week, just waiting for them to arrive now.
ended ordering this too along with the "S" curve case.
Want to see which I would like the best, along with best fitting and feel.
Just got mine from the eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/TPU-Silicone-Ca...ccessories&hash=item4aa7e90e64#ht_2436wt_1139
And yes it's black not brown.
It's actually pretty nice. It fits the Seidio spring holster/best buy platinum case belt clip holder.
So I'll be using this case with the belt clip. Very nice.
One thing though, it is NOT see through like the picture and it does NOT have those patterns. It is solid black inside and out.

I think I am going to order the Frost case!!
Gotta say the FlexiSkin is pretty appealing. Blends in very well with the Nexus S.
These are some sweet cases, idk which one to buy lol.
Just ordered the azure one, will post impressions once it arrives! That'll quite some time though, since it'll start shipping in 2 days, and then it'll take 10-18 days for it to get to me, since I live outside the US.
Edit,
To clarify, I ordered the Azure Crystal Slip, not the Arctic Frost one.
Thanks for the tip, looks amazing
I just received this case in the mail today and thought I'd share my thoughts with you all.
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-ELEMEN...qid=1346087013&sr=8-3&keywords=poetic+element
I bought from Amazon and got it within a few days of it being shipped. The case looks and feels really high quality and doesn't add too much bulk at all as you can see in the images below. It also leaves all ports open, dock connectors, speaker openings, everything you should expect from a case made for the nexus 7.
I'm really pleased with the case. I hope I don't regret going with the white. I've had white cases before that just end up getting dirty and I'm unable to clean the dirt off. I can't comment on the claims that it reduces the devices heat levels, but everything else about this case is rock solid. One more thing I really like, is that it fits in my Exact brand folio case even while I have my hard case on. The one things I don't really care for are the Poetic logo on the back and that it doesn't cover the top and bottom of the trim. For that, I give it a 4/5 and not a 5. If any of you have any questions/comments/concerns about this case, I'd be more than happy to try and give my thoughts.

Thanks for the review.
But I dont like the back, it is ugly with that big Poetic text.
Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the big Poetic logo myself, but its still a really nice case for the price that you pay. I'm going to add that as a negative in my review.

This is the ideal case imo. Except for that ugly Poetic on the back as others have mentioned.

It is a very nice case. I highly recommend it. Maybe just not in white, the black looks quite sexy.
Presenting to you: Trident's Aegis Case for the Google Nexus 7
Let's Review...
Trident offers tough cases that are proudly made in the USA. I've had several Trident cases in the past (HTC EVO 4G, HTC Flyer, Samsung Galaxy Nexus and now the Nexus 7) I would describe Trident as an Otterbox alternative with a pop of color.
What's In The Box?
Silicone cover
Polycarbonate shell
Screen protector (glossy finish)
Cleaning cloth and applicator card
Aesthetics
I'm a fan of bright colors that stand out, so I like that Trident has chosen to provide color options for their Aegis case. The case comes in Green, Red, Pink, Blue or Black. I opted for the "Trident Green" and am impressed with how bright the case is. The case is just as vibrant as it looked on Trident's website. Trident went with more simplified branding on this case with having only the Trident shield logo in the center of the case and only having the actual "Trident" words logo on the inside of the silicone case. The polycarbonate shell is mostly textured with a few smooth areas.
Protection
This case offers what I'd consider mid-level protection. It has a thick silicone cover to protect from drops along with port covers for the microUSB port and headphone jack. The silicone is very grippy and makes it much less likely for the tablet to slip from your hands. The Polycarbonate shell adds a bit more protection and helps make the case feel much more solid. The only protection you get for the screen is the included screen protector. I'm not a big fan of the glossy screen protector, so I kept my matte one on.
Price
The Trident Aegis case runs $44.95 (+ free shipping on U.S. orders) on Trident's website (www.TridentCase.com) which I feel is a bit steep.
Final Thoughts:
I've only had this case for a day so far, but I don't see myself taking this off anytime soon. My "official" N7 folio case seemed to make my N7 slip from my hands way too easily and the flap would get in the way. I feel much more confident in letting my kids (3 &4) play on my tablet now without the need to hover over them. If you're looking for a case that stands out and offers a bit more grip and protection, I'd definitely recommend you try this case out.
Note: The pics attached were taken from my GNex with flash, so they're a bit washed out.

This is awesome news!! I have an aegis on my razr with 4different color skins and it is my favorite case I have ever had. I also had a cyclops on my x.

I have the aegis for my g2x and it's cracked. Emailed trident and didn't receive a response.

That's weird. I've never had any issues with their customer service. I had the Cyclops case for my old Evo 4g and had an issue with the proximity sensor (it was a yellow case) and they replaced it quickly. I also had a problem with a screen protector not fitting right and they sent me a new one quickly too.

Well I got the cases today. I really like them. I put the red and blue on my kid's tablets. Not even a few hours after I put them on, my daughter (she's 3 1/2), was chewing on the silicon part of the case and cracked the screen. It's sadly funny. They've had their tablets for about 2-3 months and have done great with them. They had Samsung Captivates before they had these. I totally didn't think about the "candy" color and the "gummy" part of the case. And did I have the accident protection for her tablet? No, of course not, DOH! After I get her tablet fixed or repaired, sadly, even though I love the Trident case, I'll be getting a full Otterbox for hers. Nothing chewy on that, lol.

Wow! That sucks. Otterbox might be a good way to go for the little one. I let the kids take over my original iPad when I got the N7, lol. Hope you don't have much trouble getting it repaired.
I'm so pumped!! I just used the promo code and got me a baby blue case. I was going to get pink, but hopefully they will sell just the soft parts of the case separate later on and I'll get it then.

So today I noticed that my green silicone case is starting to stain in all the exposed areas. I've contacted Trident customer service to return it. Has anyone else had issues with other colors staining so easily? I haven't had this problem with my green aegis case for my gnex. I'm really disappointed.

From their site:
Length:8.00 in
Width:5.00 in
Height:0.63 in
Weight:0.32 lb
I'd say its too thick to be pocketed from my hands on experience. Also, the silicone is very grippy, so it would probably be hard to put in or take out of your pocket (it was difficult in a pair of fubu sweatpants). I'm gonna switch to Cruzerlite's Androidified A2 case. Not as much protection, but it better suits my needs.

In assume you meant pocket. I keep it in my leg pocket on my flight suit. It is much larger then a normal pocket on your jeans. However that would be funny to watch someone try to cram in in a pair of jeans. I guess it would not be much worse than a galaxy note II
