Hi.
Can someone recommend the best, skinniest and slinkiest back skin for the Nexus S.
Also, can you get bumpers for the Nexus S like on the IP4?
I mainly want something so I can grip the phone better. I find the plastic really slippy.
Oh I'm based in the U.K. so preferably from a U.K. based seller.
Cheers.
I have best skins ever and its pretty good. Also its way cheaper than its competitors.

Best skins ever is amazing. I have them on about 8 of my phones and gadgets.

Just a warning though. It's kind of hard to put on the back because of how curvy the Nexus S is. Having a blow dryer helped me during the application process so it's a good idea imo to have one near.
Hy well if its not to pricey for you, you can look at zagg custom skins which you can order from their site. Mine have arived a week ago and i have just applied them. This is my collection of nexus s back covers;-)

Well i asked and there is a Seidio case in the works. There is no ETA for it which sucks. Its a active case with a multifunction cover.
I have used their products for a while and im happy with them just hope it comes out soon because i need something.

I had one of these for my kindle fire and loved it. I'm getting by with a cheap case for my N7 until the Seidio case comes out.
I'll be keeping my eye out for this also. I've had seidio active cases on mine and my wifes nexus s's for over a year and a half now. They are great and have held up well. I like how they feel in the hand with their grippy silicon like material and they give the device great protection.

Was on their website and they have one case available, without a cover unfortunately.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
They are still not shipping but i saw it. The other one should be the same as the one in the picture but with a cover of course.
Debating if i want to go with the regular active case and a screen protector or the other case.
For those that havent used seidio before. Its kinda like a tpu case. Rubber with a hard plastic shell over it.
I have used them on my phones for a while now and im happy with these cases.

I love my surface case for my phone. The material they use is perfect. It is grippy for your fingers yet slippery in you pocket.

Agreed, kind of the case i am looking for, for the nexus 7.

Pics of the other case are up. I like it. Im getting it. The best case to date in my opinion.. Still coming soon but shouldnt be long now

A 'Surface' would be smaller, but it looks good. First to market will get my money. Otterbox is going to lose out it seems.

I tried otterbox with my phone and i didn't like it. I sometimes need to take the case off and that is a pain with otterbox

When I asked them they said there aren't current plans to release a Surface case for the N7, just an Active case.

Hi there! Did you end up getting the case? If so, how do you like it? Did you get the model with the cover? If so how bulky does the unit become with the cover attached? (Either on the front or back).
It looks like there's a recessed section on the cover (to make room for the adjustable stand), but I'm worried that it will add too much bulk to the profile of the N7.
Thanks!

Its not out yet unfortunately. I am definitely ordering this when it comes out. I have the Gumdrop case now, which is nice but it does not have the same viewing options like this one. I cant wait for this to come out.

Anyone else is welcome to do the same if they get it before me.

Suppose to be coming out later today, I just called and they said to call back in two hours. Plus they have responded to my facebook post and said blue and black 10/15. Red 10/17.
Just add this to my list of growing cases and money spent.

Ditto lol...I pulled the trigger on a Noeve case, and it was about as expensive as my treegloo, but I cancelled it on the this verge of this case being released this week.

I think some of the other more popular case makers missed the boat on the N7.

I just ordered my Moto X! Super pumped!
I went with white face, blue back and the orange trim. I'm a Hugh Broncos fan, so match up pretty well. I have to say having the option to chose so much makes this phone so much better. I'll post picks on Monday once I get it!! Can't wait.
Color choices, and if you want why?

Nice to see another Canadian in the forum getting one. I reserved one through Rogers and should be getting it on Monday or Tuesday.
Anyway I went with the black one since we're restricted to either black or white.

I'm probably not going to get a Moto X but if I did I'd totally get some sort of wood flavor. The phone is absolutely gorgeous with a wood back either dark or light. It's so temping though. I'm trying to hold out for either the LG G2 or maybe a Note 3. idk. I have a Optimus G Pro and totally love the large screen. I've also been playing with a S4 Active but I don't think I could go back to anything smaller than 5" screen. But ya... if i did... WOOD!
White. All white. The only other colour available in the Great WHITE North here (either Black or White).
For those of you that have one already, is there a noticeable raised edge around the glass? Or is the whole front of the phone flush and smooth?
wait how the heeellllssss are you guys getting your X's? Did anybody from USA already get it? and how are you guys using the moto maker tool?

Nothing. Flat surface. No raised edges/lip.
Now we know that we cannot put our names on the back of the phone; nor can we upload the images we want and have it color our MOTO X (though the latter part was never the original concept...but should be . What makes you still want to buy MOTO X?
I just got mine this afternoon. After playing with it only for a couple of hours, I can say that once I get used to the touchless control, I will not be able to live without it. Just now I pick up my Nexus 4 and start talking to her with "Ok google now" and saw no response and getting frustrated
Active Notifications.
That is all.
everything about this phone other than its price and camera quality (which hopefully is resolved with an update much like the htc one)
Touchless Controls hands down.
Sent from my XT1058 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I went to the store to play with the X and I was really impressed by the twisting the wrist motion to launch the camera. It was super easy and I have no idea why the reviewers found it so hard to launch it. I'd say I had a 100% success rate.
The problem, for me at least, is not how to launch the camera...but after launching the camera the quality of the photo is not good.
Personally I the touchless control is the winner for me, but active notifications comes in a very close second.
All are pretty ones!
Can we see it in Europe soon...
1 active notifications, 2 Motorola Connect, 3 touches, 4 fast camera launch, 5 battery

This clip looks interesting MOTO X being tested, in a way, in real life setting.

Everything.
other than all tech details, I really like the idea of customizing the phone and making it truely unique
After actually using the phone, active notifications and the battery are great for usage. The motomaker is great when it comes to selling the phone.

That's too bad at the end it was a DO NOT BUY. I feel that the camera should be an easy fix because it would just be an OTA update.

Oh Cnet....you try too hard.
The Design. Always liked android but hated these oversized form factors with no regard for one handed usability. Big screen without big phone, finally a decent design!
Thinking of getting one. Any experience with it? Know of one that provide better protection? Pros? Cons?

I refuse to buy another ballistic case... The rubber is too gummy and soft like an otterbox. This causes it to wear much more easily, stick to your clothing, and attract dust. Buy a the Supcase... Either the pro or standard unicorn beetle... I promise that you won't be disappointed.
thanks, Interesting point. Does the unicorn beetle offer the same level of protection?

I would have to say yes. I believe there comes a point when the level of protection becomes wasted and these unicorn beetle ones offer just enough... Unless you plan on throwing your phone off a 5 story balcony, but that's why there's a pro version lol. You just can't go wrong spending $15 on one.

Thanks, saw that. After careful consideration, I went with the UAG Maverick. I have an i-Blason clear TPU cover and a Kayscase ArmorBox. Like the first one for being clear and the second for having a kickstand, but wanted to have a 3rd one with Mil Specs protection, and yet be clear if possible, and high quality, so the UAG came on top, at least in paper. We'll see how it works when I get it.
Of course, I might add more cases to the collection in the future, especially if Mophie gets their **** together and makes a juice pack case.
