The images are on the previous page on those UK sellers. You can look at YouTube and search for the pop cases they'll look similar.
J purchased the black and cool grey one. Probably be here in the next few days ill take pictures when it arrives.

hopefully not. case mate is a pretty reputable brand, never had any complaints from any of their products and i dont think that the Pop case will disappoint.
I hope not too but a bunch of case an the plastic an tpu cases seem to mark up the phone only the silicone ones seem to not hurt the phone

well those are cheap eBay cases besides.. if it was to cause a scratch or whatever.. it'd take a few days to actually tell if it does scratch the phone or it could of been there before.
Co-molded materials of plastic and soft rubber unite to create a hard case with a soft touch. The lightweight plastic body of the Pop! protects from unforeseeable impacts, while keeping your screen lifted away from surfaces. The Pop! features contemporary color pairings to create a modern look for your device. Rubber sides make for an easy grip. Inside, the soft material hugs your Nexus S like a glove. Not even Batman and Robin are that tight.

from the description.. it doesnt seem like it was scratch, and besides.. the "Pop" is a universal case for many other phones, im sure it would be relatively similar for the Nexus S
personally.. im not too worried, case mate has never ceased to disappoint me
Alright. I just got it in the mail and opened it up. Some things that are easily noticeable
- Contour Case
- Comes with Screen protectors (as every other Case Mate case) & Screen cloth wipe
- Grip does feel better with the sides.
- Cut out holes are perfectly fine.
- Just a little bit bulker but not too much. Maybe a little more than the Tough Case.
- Power / Volume are a lot easier to press.
- Phone isn't all up on the case. But it isn't loose at all.

Overall, a great case. However, after removing the phone from the case several times (over a month or two), the rubber around the corners is tearing.
Will probably end up with a different case that doesn't get destroyed by removal.
Ditto.....loved my pop but it fell apart after just a few weeks.
They just came out so I don't expect miracles but I figured that one of these stretch rubber kind might fit it. However, I hate to add more thickness to the phone so does anyone know of an extra thin one?
You can try a i9023 case as I believe the super LCD Nexus are slightly thicker than the i9020s. I'm not too sure if the thickness is the same as the sprint versions though.

The sprint store has a few gel cases that are thin. People are also reporting that the CaseMate Pop fits the 4G.
Has anyone gotten this case:

I went with the Incipio Feather case. Its the thinest I know of.

It hasn't shown up yet so I wont know for another day or 2. Users on other forums have confirmed that it fits well.
As reported in other thread incipio case fits NS4G without problems, the only "complaint" is that the cutout for power button is not centered but lowered, still it doesn't affect/press the button.
Mine came cracked at the bottom, called incipio, they're sending a new one.
i got this case and its a pain to press the power button

wish power was on top rather then on the side .. i usually change the volume when trying to turn on volume with my other fingers.
My wife wants this case but i dont believe that it will fit on the 4g version
http://cgi.ebay.com/Samsung-Nexus-S...706558?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item48406faf7e
even though it says it does
all the other ones on ebay say they wont fit
Honestly I had the hard case from best buy and it fit my ns4g better than my tmo ns Im sure any hard case will work with it. That said dont get the platinum hard case from best buy it is garbage. Those gel cases from sprint seemed about the same thickness as the best buy hard case it hit the holster perfectly but i didnt put one on the phone. Instead I went with this
http://shop2.sprint.com/NASApp/onli...ryID=CHS8564R&topPageNumber=0&subPageNumber=0
I am very happy with this case it fastens together very securly and fit even with the invisa-sheild
When I got my ns4g I had the same problem so I got both a red incipio feather and the case/holster combo from sprint
http://shop2.sprint.com/NASApp/onli...ryID=CHS8564R&topPageNumber=0&subPageNumber=0
The incipio fits fine minus the fact that power button is a little off but its really not a problem or a deal breaker. The case from sprint works great and isn't too bulky either, though not as thin as the incipio case. I personally would suggest both.

Just a heads up. The gel case at the Sprint store sucks.. It's so tight you barely have to touch the phone to turn it on, or key a volume key.. It's really awkward pressing buttons through a layer of gel.

Yeah.. This is the sucky gel case I threw in the trash. Very annoying to operate the power button and volume keys through that layer of gel.
Well... I've successfully tried ALL available cases for the NS4G now, and I'll say this... they ALL suck. All of them. I hope some decent offerings become available soon.

How does this phone fit the ZAGG Invisashield? Does it match up well with the power buttons etc?
Thanks!
The Incipio Feather case is perfect. Nice matte black finish, feels great in hand, and us thin, but still overlaps the top of screen which is great.
I know it fits slightly off on my 4G version but that's barely noticable. Looks awesome.
I have the Feather case on my EVO as well, but it does not come up and overlap top of screen, it only goes up 90% on the sides which I do not like. Wish it was designed same as the Nexus-S version.

Thanks for the heads up.
The clear argyle gel case is what I have. Yes, in the beginning it was a pain in the ass to push the buttons. I tried a little cutting on the case and now it's not so difficult to deal with. I got a brand new exacto knife blade with a tip blade. I put the case on the phone and gently made a surface mark on the top, bottom, left and right of where the buttons actually are. The volume seemed centered correctly but the power wasn't. Anyways, I made my marks with the tip of the knife so I knew where to cut. I went about a millimeter farther than I needed to go on the borders. I removed the phone and put something the same thickness as the phone on the inside of the gel to give me some leverage to carefully make the cutouts in the gel. I didn't try to cut it all in one shot. I made many passes on the line I was cutting until I managed to go all the way through. It doesn't look stock and it's not ocd perfect but it got the job done and the case is still strong. I originally got the two piece with the holster at sprint but I didn't like it quickly when holding it in my hand with a flat palm, the phone would slide down easily in my hand. I was too afraid of that adding to the chance it might fall out of my hand. The gel is still strong, covers all the phone, has a lip on the front where the screen is so it's not flush on the screen and it doesn't interfere with a zagg screen protector. I could post pics if anyone is interested in seeing it.

I'm interested. I'm a little OCD... but I'm coming from the EVO and it just feels like the NS is like a bar of wet soap that I'm going to drop, and I have no rope.
Has anyone found a place to buy a good case for this phone yet?
Also, I sent an email to ZAGG (invisibleSHIELD) to see if they will be getting screen protectors for the vivid...I hope the respond soon...
I got the Moshi Protector and the AGF case from ATT when I picked up the vivid, case is fine, HATE the protector, makes the screen feel and react like the old resistive screens since it by design, doesn't lay flat on the screen.
I ordered a cheapo clear on ebay(prefer the clear ones) as soon as it comes in I am returning the moshi

I had a few leftovers from SGS2, and you wont believe how perfectly they fit on my Vivid. As if they were custom made for this phone.

Not sure how they are going to work out, but I bought some yesterday.. Ill letcha know.
When i picked up the phone i got a speck case and moshi screen protector. Reason i like the moshi is because its bubble free and reusable and anti-glare. The speck case is bulky but i had one on my inspire and i dropped that phone like 20 times and not a scratch or dent
could you take some shots of the phone with the speck case. I ordered 2 white phones with the white cases and i'm hoping they are going to make the phone too big.

Do you think you might be able to post your thoughts on the speck case? I got the white phone, and was contemplating the white case, too, but was afraid it would be too thick and make the phone a bit bulky. Thanks!
I picked up the Otterbox Commuter case from AT&T when I picked up the phone on Sunday. I really wish they had the black plastic case with black rubber case versus the black plastic with gray rubber case. But it is protected for now.
Still looking for a good screen protector for this though.
I got the white and black speck case its not that bulky as i recently stated but its not flimsy either like some of those ebay ones. Its rubber on the inside and a smooth hard plastic on the outside. the phone is very snug in the case you dont have to worry about over time the case looses its shape or gets looser. And not to mention if you do drop the phone at least you know they phone wont fall out of it or the back plate coming off.

I'm almost certain they will be, no worries. They've made screen protectors for far less popular phones.

How are the buttons on this case? I had Candyshell for Inspire and hated it becasue buttons were extremely stiff
just got comfirmation that my two white speck cases shipped through AT&T. Should be here tomorrow, now just have to wait for the phones to ship.
Cases and screen protector
I live in canada and really wanted to get the white speck case but when I contacted them about it they said they didn't know if they had any plans to make them, I replied with the link to the att website where its for sale and they replied with a link to the smartphone cases on their website. So helpful!
So going with the otterbox commuter and gonna get the ghost armour screen protector put on at my local mall. So far its the best I have used.

I wouldn't mind getting one of these if it were less expensive. I've looked online for about a total of 4 hours today and only found the Otter Box cases to my desire. That being said, I can't stand how bulky they make the phone feel.

I don't have nails... Bite them. (hey don't judge, it stops me from smoking )
When i push it up, the gray rubber pushes up towards the screen... you can actually see it separate from the black plastic part of the case...
I'll likely just cut it off.
I really wanted a Speck case, but they only had them in white(not a fan) and a crazy purple & blue thing (REALLY not a fan)
Just ordered 2 Ballistic SG Maxx cases for the wife and myself. getting tired of the bubble in the screen protector on the Otterbox Defender case.
wondering if anyone has it and whats there take on it.
I paid $68.50 total with one day shipping and will be getting it on Saturday. hopefully im not too dissapointed as i never was with ballistic.
I have their gel case on my vs980 I really like, my girlfriend has one on her HTC one as well. As far as the SG maxx goes. I know people with one for their iphones and its a pretty beefy case but they like it a lot. Let us know how it works out for you!
sent from an organic spaceship spinning through space
Post pics if you can, im also thinking about going to the SG Maxx or a Trident case(would like the Kraken just dont have it for the G2) I just dont like the gap between the actual screen and the screen protector.
will upload photos as soon as i get it but usps messed up my order. its stuck in Oklahoma for about 4 days now. its supposed to be here on the 21st. late late late. one-day shipping is bogus with usps, they are garbage deliverers. sorry just frustrated with USPS right now.
will post up pics if i ever get it.
Ballistic case have the same problem with the screen protecter on G2.
I have the case myself, and due to the floop top and buttom, it makes the screenprotectors fall off. Pretty sure otterbox should hold them down better due to not having floppy top/buttom.
But I still love my case. Fixed it with a tiny piece of tape at the top and buttom just on the edge, so the case didn't lift them up!

my case has no issue with the screen protector. make sure you have it on the right way. the soft sides go over the lip of the screen protector. i have no issues with slipping or fall outs. its in there pretty good.
I have the Verizon version and have had no issues with my Obliq screen protector so far. The case is a bit bulky, but that's to be expected when choosing one for higher levels of protection. Normally I would have gone with an Otterbox, but a Verizon version wasn't available until recently, so I went with the Ballistic and have been happy with it. The hard shell has a bit less grip to it than an Otterbox, but it isn't too bad. Also, the Verizon variant has protection for the volume/power buttons on the back, while it looks like the Verizon version of the Otterbox leaves the buttons exposed.

Ballistic is a better option than the otterbox. ballistics's screen protector is flush with the screen as otterbox is arched over leaving an air pocket. i actually find the ballistic thinner than the otterbox. and way nicer.

The Maxx case includes protection flaps that cover the charger and headphone ports kinda like Otterbox Defender cases and comes with a holster. The regular doesn't.

The Maxx case isn't available for the Version version, only the regular Shell Gel case.. not much of a differences unless you really want port covers and a holster. The regular should do fine.

I haven't used the Ballistic case for the G2 but I had one for my Optimus G Pro. It was definitely thick and offered great protection but I never dropped that phone with the case on it before. It should hold up pretty well considering how thick those corners are. I do however have lots of experience with Otterbox cases. I've dropped phones in those cases on concrete a bunch of times and the phone always came out flawless after but they're so ugly for this phone I ended up with a Spigen Slim Armor case. I've dropped it a few times on carpeted floors and it's fine so far but no accidents on concrete yet.

Sorry, I didn't know there was a Maxx version. I have the Verizon version of the regular one without port covers. The bottom edge is a little loose due to the cutouts for the USB, speaker, and headphones, but it isn't too bad. Otherwise, it fits great.

screen protector and holster clip.
today the screen protector is making me mad it is not responding to double tap. so in my experience a few days with the case you start running into issues with screen protector.
Anyone, please post some pics. Hated the otter box air pocket, really interested in this as an option

sorry i havent posted pics yet will do so when my wife gets here tomorrow. i finally got my screen protector working again. i love my case and phone again. dont think about it just get it,it honestly feels a lot better than otterbox. otterbox has more bulk than ballistic. my opinion....buy it, its worth it.

can u take some post some pic with the leather on with this case?
does it feels weird in the hand ?
Got one on ebay just like that with no brand name on it About $5. Absolutely creases the leather. Also wore down one edge a bit from when I was doing battery swaps, from taking it on and off. Otherwise nice.

Any pics of the damage done to the back cover? Maybe shouldn't consider it at all if it damages the leather...

The creases are barely visible. they could probably be massaged out eventually. I'll get a pic today (hopefully)
The way I see it; It's somewhat attractive in itself, it protects the phone from scuffs, scratches, and possibly a cracked screen, etc. far less worrisome outcome than a crease on a $30 replaceable leather back-plate.
...and this is really only a problem if you decide you want to remove the case indefinitely and are annoyed by those creases staring back at you... just drop $30 bucks, problem solved. (Your leather back will wear regardless if it goes uncovered.)
But, I totally get you... whats the point of buying a protective case if it damages the phone? seems backwards, I get it.
I've NEVER seen a phone case that makes a phone look better than one without, or doesn't add weight or bulk...
You gotta compromise somehow.
You could also get an original plastic back, alleviating the whole crease thing for $12-15.
---if you're handy with a Dremel or a small file, try tapering the square edge that touches the leather back, and putting a felt strip there. It wont be visible when the case is on.
...reminds me of my mom, who always puts a cheap plastic film over her iPhone screen to prevent scratches... but in a week the film is full of scratches that the glass would have resisted. The whole point of keeping the screen optically clear is now null and void by that nasty screen cover. If the principle here is to maintaining a good visual appearance, go naked, be careful and run a risk. If you're just trying to protect an investment, cover it up.
For the record, My Z3, S5, Nexus 6, G4 and Note 3, have always gone uncovered. I've dropped the Nexus once, but still haven't learned a lesson from it.
been using that aluminum bumper on my plastic back g4, and it has scratches on the back where the aluminum meets the plastic. I would never put it on a leather back, there's plenty of reviews saying how it damaged the leather backs. It even warns against it in the description. I wouldn't put it on at all without a screen protector on for fear it would damage the front.
It does give the phone a great feel and good protection though.

thanks for the pics =)
how does it actually feel on hand ? compare to naked ?
naked g4 feels pretty good but i guess the bumper will destroy the feel ?
also coming from galaxy phones im worried about the chrome bezel. Will it peel after a time ?

I've not heard of any reports of peeling, just scratching.

Why not have both ?
The surround is not metal. I will sell you mine for $10 plus actual shipping cost.

I wouldn't buy the LG Leather case. If you look on XDA, many people are complaining about the leather wearing off, simply because they had put the phone in their jean jacket. The LG is $80 and it looks like it is sprayed on.
I purchased the Pierre Cardin from Ebay and it is quite a bit better than the LG...plus only $18 with free shipping.
Here is the link:
