Getting a 5x this weekend. Past experience with TPU cases havent been that great as they get grimy from oils and finger prints. I'm looking for a clear hard plastic case.
Does anyone have a good suggestion? Is there a case with metalized buttons?
thanks and look forward to having my first Nexus device

The brand is iPely from Amazon.I just thought the packaging box is a chic one at the first glance.When arrived,it did not let me down.I found it easy to install because of complete accessories.Now I think everything is good, there is no defect yet.Maybe you could try that.You can decide whether to buy, the sale price is lower than $8.Hoping I could give you some reference.

Alright guys so I have a half review for everyone. Due to me not being able to find my cable for my camera, I have pictures taken from my 4G so no pictures right now with it in the case. Will have some of those shortly! Enjoy.

Comparison to the Seidio Active

Just found that Ballistic makes a case for the 4G. Being in construction, I had one of these on my EVO 4G and LOVED it. Buying now. Great case and highly recommend it!
Since I can't do direct links I guess... Search "Ballistic Case" in Google and either click on Sprint or Samsung once in the site.

Most likely it will. It's labeled as the 4G so don't blame anything on me! It fits awesome! It adds bulk but no more than any Seidio case. I think the protection is better than Seidio. The fit is perfect and snug. I can't do a review tonight but I will try and find my camera to do one for this weekend or tom/Friday.

I would throw it around if it were the HC Series but the SG Series is less hardcore. I had the HC Series on my EVO and dropped from about 8 feet onto broken up concrete with no problem multiple times. This seems to offer plenty of protection though.
Alright guys sorry for the delay. I have the pictures taken I just can't find my cable to transfer the pictures... Be up soon hopefully.
Thanks this red looks real clean. How does it fit in the pockets? I just wondering cause the corners bulge
Fits the pocket pretty good for a heavy duty case. Nothing worse than any other silicone case. I shouldn't say silicone but it's fairly easy in and out. That's what she said?
Thanks for letting me know about this case. I purchased the black one and it DOES fit my Nexus S (T-Mobile). The BodyGuardz I have on the back of my Nexus S seems to help the fit but I did contact Ballistic CS and they told me it would fit.
I was looking for a replacement for Otterbox (this looked so clean and probably would have been the best case too bad they didn't make it) and I'm liking this and the Aegis.
My Ma has one of those (well, very similar to that for the Desire HD). I just don't like the pink ... afraid of catching "The Gay"
I'm just joking, pink just isn't my colour.
Just wondering if anyone could recommend an aluminium/metal type case for my i9020. Preferably looking for one in a white/silver/grey colour.
Alternatively, has anyone used this case/do you think it would be good quality?
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/13055010...AX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_1545wt_905
The only other metal case I've ever seen listed for the i9020 is one listed on amazon, it's called BoxWave Nexus S Armor, I'd post a link but I'm new and can't do that yet
Can't recommend as I've never used it, but it looks tough.

i got impatient and purchased that case anyways i got the black one which one did you get
that one you listed on ebay looks a little cheap-ish... just sayin.g that boxwave one looks ok, but i forsee that hinge/latch thing being a problem. looks like it open kind of easily. anyone else find anything of higher quality anywhere else? ive been looking for hours to no avail.
Hi guys, I received the case last week but I have been swamped with work so I didn't get to post a little review on the case. Sorry about the quality of these pictures the lighting is extremely bad.

Front view of phone, this photo is the most accurate in regards to the colour of the case, the silicone front is definitely black.
The volume buttons and power button have black silicone over them. Ignore the colouring of this photo, bad lighting.
Back comparison, I purchased the silver one. There is a cut out at the bottom for usb/headphone ports.
View from back with case on. It is a bit of a fingerprint magnet.
TERRIBLE TERRIBLE lighting showing the front view of the case on the phone.
OPINION: After using the case for a week I am very happy with it. Yes, it is a cheap case but to me it was worth the $4.40 Australian I paid. I especially like the cold feeling and the solidity of the case. I didn't have an incident in which I dropped the phone on concrete and I dinted the bottom corner of the case but it is not that bad. Overall I like the case but I will probably be purchasing another one in a few months because it will get pretty scratched from my fingernails and floating around in my handbag etc.
Any other questions about the case? Just ask.
Very nice. where I can buy?

Search ebay for 'nexus s metal case' and about 30 different listings should come up, most are for this exact same case.
I bought from this listing.
So, my Nilkin case arrived in the mail on friday. Took 2 weeks.
The Gallery of images can be viewed here for a better look and experience. HERE
So here's the package.
Link1
Comes with a screen protector ( Not gonna change my screen protector yet )
Link2
And here are some pictures of the case being naked. (without the phone)

Now for pics with my phone with the case

Link15
Conclusion:
Overall a very good case. Actually makes the phone look very good. Especially the back where the phone looks slick. The fact that the bottom and top are protected halfway scares me, however i can take care of the phone well so it depends on you.
The case feels quite slippery when you hold it up, so you have to grip it tightly.
Looks good on the sides and all round. Generally a very nice case to have.
I love it.
I hope this review helps you to decide and if you liked this review PLEASE HIT THE THANKS BUTTON

If you keep dropping your phone you definitely need a cover. I dont think this is available for NS4G though. You'll have to look for a similar one.

I think it's cheaper on eBay, but CASESSS.com offers faster shipping options and free to Singapore as well.

Guys,
I ordered mine on Monday and just got it today! I love this case! The fit, feel and function is top notch. I love how the back cover that holds the tablet in place is more of a snap in back cover rather than something that you have to slide the tablet in.
Again I would highly recommend this to anyone.

wake/sleep magnet?
Hey Clownzer,
Is this a smart cover? Does the sleep/wake function work when you open and the close the case?
thanks!

thx. for that feedback. I will order one too, after new year. But i have to wait 10-15 for the delivery, because they have to ship it to germany. Which color do you choose? i think i will go black^^

It's not the same product ?

IT looks the Same. Thx

just received mine in the mail today. The build quality is actually good. The only thing I worry about is that I don't know how well the plastic stays attached to the leather, I could see that being a problem but that is only out of speculation. It has a leather texture with a foam underneath and it feels good. Another feature no one talked about that is well thought out is that the flap that keeps the case shut can be flipped behind and a magnet on the back keeps it from just hanging there when it is opened. The auto turn on works when you open it. I ordered mine from gizmo central.

That looks really nice. Any chance of some real-world pics of yours?
My Speck Fitfolio case arrived this morning but the magnet is too strong and sends the tablet to sleep when the case is folded behind, so it will be sent back. This could well be the next option.
Aleemz, i own both official Asus case and Puro Zeta slim.
Second one, puro, feels really solid. I think, it's of higher quality, than Nillkin. There is nothing in details i can complain so far, except it is not "smart".
I can make some dslr photos only after 2nd of January, when camera will be available.
Sorry for my English

You can try to make screen for a magnet field : put a thin list of metal foil (or a metal grid) between the backside of your nexus and case.
Sorry for my English
Added: i think, foil and grid must be of iron, not of Alu. Please Google aabout screening from constant magnet fields

wow thats a really nice looking case, thanks for sharing it with us.
is the case made of TPU or is it a hard-plastic body ?
also what type of material is the screen flap made out of ?
(crosses fingers for hard plastic :fingers-crossed
Flap is made of soft-touch material (its hard to compare this material with smth, but imo its similar with a backside of N7, but without dots)
Body is made of hard plastic. Its thickness varies from ~1.5 mm (on the edges) to ~1 mm.
Designed for grouper (wi-fi), not for tilapia (3G), because microphone cutouts are misplaced on my tilapia, but i'm using voice search without a problem.
do you know somewhere i can buy this case in the USA ?
The case looks nice. I don't like the name thou, in Spanish it means Pure Zeta which is a bad group of people... Cheers
