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

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.

I emailed them, hopefully they see it. Hopefully they send me the black one, otherwise it's going in the trash.
Is that a black colour??? ... looked more like brown to me.

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.
Anyone have a good slim design case? Don't wanna add bulk, just need a Lil protection.

This one is about as slim as you can get.

I got the Raider case from Amazon for $4 (US). Hard plastic. The front and back snap together around the phone. I had a different case (AFG?), but it covered the power button and volume rocker, making them hard to operate. The Raider case has openings for the buttons.
Ordered the Incipio Feather last night, should arrive later this week. Comes with a screen protector too, which is a nice little plus. It's a few $ cheaper on Amazon vs myincipio.com site.

and I still can't find a place that ships over to Brazil...
but hey, still about the ROCK case, if you want some more vivid colors, you can look for Yetaa website, then go to MobileMate section and look for it. they have some really nice colors for this case.
don't know if that store is trustworthy, tho
I ordered a Rock case the day I got my phone, but also ended up ordering a similar case from Best Buy (Canada, online only, the US store seems to not stock it) since I didn't want to carry the phone naked for three weeks while I waited for the Rock to arrive from China.
They're virtually exactly the same, but I prefer the Affinity case to the Rock case (it was also about five bucks cheaper) as it offers a bit more coverage at the top and bottom of the phone. The Affinity case actually dips in to cover the area between the headphone jack and power button. I'll see if I can't take a picture to compare the two sometime. I'd definitely recommend the Best Buy case to any users in Canada.
I've seen that one at BB. I ended up getting a commuter case, and it's great but sometimes it's annoying that it's such a dust magnet. I have to take it out and wash the case weekly. I bought a smoke TPU case off amazon but I don't really like it, so I might grab that one from BB as a backup.
Yeah, it turns out I was misinformed about it not being available in-store. I just checked and they have them at the two nearest Best Buys to me.
You can't really go wrong for $10, especially without having to wait for it in the mail.
How weird would it look like if i put a black case on my white vivid? Just wondering. Most cases I find are black...
My Incipio Feather case arrived from Amazon today, sells for $16.50 there. It's what I expected... like all of the other feather/barely there type cases. Fits well, with a nice smooth rubberized finish. Also came with a free glossy screeen protector, which is a nice bonus. These types of cases don't offer a ton of protection, but fine for around the house/office, to avoid scuffs and scratches. For what it is, I'm happy with it.

ZTE ended up sending me the TPU Clear Protective Case the day after I received the phone. It fits perfectly, has a almost a tacky feel to it to assist with one-handed operation since its so large. Buttons are covered as well but easy to operate through the raised corresponding buttons on the case. Well worth the $15.

There are a few cases popping up on Amazon now. The only thing that's keeping me from pulling the trigger on any of them is the fact that none of the example photos actually show the Axon with the case on. Most of them are a completely different phone (maybe a nexus 5?). I doubt that any of the major case brands will manufacture a case for the phone since it's GSM only, so a limited market. Time will tell.

I saw one case on amazon or ebay for it and I'm was not sold on the case mainly because it looked like they have the camera and flash cutouts positioned wrong.
I'm thinking the mismatch on cases in the photos has something to do with these being cheap case companies not having their hands on the phone yet. I would like to wrap this phone in something but I'm not sold on any of the cases on amazon until I can see them actually on the phone in the example photos. Augie, you have the official case, correct? Any chance you can post a photo or two of the case on the phone? Does it still allow you to show the phone off? I'm crossing my fingers that someone will develop a dual hybrid case like the ringke fusion or the incipio dual pro cases.
I'll post some tomorrow. Check the link in post 1, the case is completely transparent. It even has holes in it for the two microphones at top and bottom of phone.
As promised, sorry for the delay. Link in post 1
That looks perfect. I worry about the transparent cases not adequately showing off the phone, but that looks excellent. I'm going to order one. This is a gorgeous phone, but I worry about dropping it.
A drop is not good for any phone, no doubt. The case will help as long as its not flat on the screen. The case fits perfect, as you would hope, from an OEM case.
I want a clear hard case, as I'm not really a fan of TPU.
Unfortunately I don't see any good ones yet. Nillkin usually makes cases for some of the more obscure phones, but I don't see anything from them yet.

I'm considering getting this case from amazon. It's not clear, but it would protect the finish on the case and still allow the buttons to show (which I really like the look of). I may pull the trigger on one as a guinea pig to see if the case that shows up is actually for the Axon.
EDIT: Ok, so after researching the company that makes the case and comparing products, I won't be getting this case. It's simply a polycarbonate shell that goes on the phone. Nothing between the plastic and the phone. I'd worry about scratching from the hard plastic against the phone. OEM case it is then.
EDIT 2: Ordered the OEM case, it should be here Monday. I got a call on Friday from ZTE to tell me my case was on the way and to give me my tacking number. Not an automated message or pre-recorded nonsense. An actual human being. So color me impressed. I'm hoping that ZTE will continue the awesome customer service with this phone.
Just got my phone and wanted to share with you this..
Ordered Nagebee flipcase for the ZTE Axon with it and:
The cutouts on the left of this case DO NOT FIT the Axon Pro.
Can be fixed by cutting it out yourself.
I have searched and searched but havent been able to find a decent case anywhere. I ordered my Axon Pro and it should be arriving tomorrow. I always like to have a good case for my phones as well as a screen protector but there doesn't seem to be anything available yet. Anyone find anything decent yet or tried any from Amazon even though the display picture isn't correct yet?
I too have to find a decent case yet. The cases on Amazon aren't good.

Unfortunately the ZTE TPU Clear Case is the Best Case So Far
Not a TPU Case fan but it seems to be the best case going as far as fit and still showing off the phone... Everything else either hides the phone or adds additional size... I have one and use it whenever I am going some place where I may drop it... otherwise I go bare and slip it into a pouch like below:
http://www.pack-smooch.com/en/phone-cases/apple/iphone-6-plus/elie/elie-for-the-iphone-6-plus.html
or a fit bag:

:good:
The official case does look nice on the phone, I will say that. I didn't like how the buttons felt so I cut them out with a little extra space so I would be able to push them. Looks horrible, but it works until I can figure out how to smooth out the rough edges as a file doesn't work on TPU.
Right now, the official TPU case is the way to go. I bought 3 other cases that almost fit if it was for the volume control. For some reason it's a lot lower on the 3rd party cases.
I manned up and got the case from ZTE directly, and as mentioned previously they call you to confirm shipping etc. A real person calls you. That's some service right there. Hopefully, it'll sell a few more and we'll get some good 3rd support for the device as ZTE has got the customer service nailed.
I just received this case for the axon. All of the cutouts line up properly. It's a little bit bulky, but it's beefy. It feels like it could survive a decent drop and looks pretty nice. It'll do until something nicer comes out I think. The only weird thing about it is like in the photos, there's space on the case for the fingerprint scanner on the lux, so I think it's meant to fit both.
Has anyone else had any luck hunting down a good alternative to the ZTE TPU case? Amazon is still a wasteland of generic chinese silicone/PC hybrid otterbox wanna-be's. I can't stand silicone because it's a nightmare to get out of your pocket and needs to be cleaned daily for lint.
I got this case from Aliexpress and it works great fits good and had a nice grip.

I missed out on the indiegogo Dbrand grip. I have checked ebay and could not find any. I know rhino shield has a similar option but alot of the reviews are saying that skins are peeling when case is applied.
So my question is does anyone know where i can get a Dbrand Grip or is anyone selling one ?
Unfortunately, you can't get the Dbrand Grip anymore. I even tweeted them and asked and they didn't reply. I fear if you didn't get one when the Indiegogo was on, then you're not going to get one. It was like a one-time thing.

I would stay away from the Grip. Mine ended up breaking down after normal use. The side buttons hardly worked after the few months I had it. It was great while it lasted but I expected a lot more out of an expensive case. If you can find one for sub $20 new I would say it's worth it. Otherwise stay away.
Has anyone found a pretty decent case/tempered glass for this device as of yet (Any budget)
Pictures are awesome if provided, would love to see what our community had found so far. (I can't seem to find one that fully seals the entire screen instead or simply the edges)
All tempered screen protectors that have come out so far appear to completely suck. They've all been the type with only a thin strip of adhesive along the edges, thus making them come off really easily. I sincerely hope a good one comes out soon. If one doesn't in the next month or so, I might just get one of the crappy ones, but purchase the overpriced ($30-40) version from the T-Mobile store. They will replace it for free everytime you come in. This would definitely save money and frustration in the long run over repeatedly purchasing the cheaper ones.
I ordered the Ringke Fusion-X case, but they only became available a day ago, so it only arrived today. I'll update with a short review when I get home from work. I've had one for another device, though, and really liked it. In the mean time, I've been using this $5 clear TPU case, which is exactly what one would expect if they've ever had one before. I will note that the buttons are a bit difficult to press, but otherwise it's perfectly fine. I chose this one over the other similar ones because of the slightly thicker bumpers on the corners.
I'm debating getting one of the Otterbox cases, but I'd really like to see one in person first, so that I can evaluate the bulkiness of it before dropping $60. I've always used/preferred lighter-weight cases, but then again I've never before had a $930 phone.
Update: I initially forgot to report back with my Ringke Fusion-X mini- review. It is a phenomenal case. It looks very good, and being able to see the back of the phone through the 100% clear back is nice. The somewhat thick rubbery-ish edges offer a great deal of protection without excessive bulk. If my previous experiences with similarly styled Ringke cases are and indicator, it will greatly increase the chances that drops will damage the phone. It also feels very great in the hand, and provides very good grip. Also, the buttons feel VERY good, even to the point of being nicer to press that the phone's buttons are without a case at all.
Although it would certainly be even more protective, it's unlikely I will end up ordering the Otterbox, as I feel confident the Ringke will adequately protect my phone given my usual degree of phone violence.
I can't speak to screen protectors but I had picked up the Spigen Rugged Armor case and it is excellent.
All of the screen protectors have been garbage thus far. As mentioned, you either get stuck with the black ring around the edges, thus losing screen space or bubbles because they dont adhere to the curved edges. Tried two brands and bot were a waste.
The cases all seem to be more or less the same. At least the TPU ones anyways. Tons for $5-10 and no major advantages I can see. Otterbox says no screen protector so you enjoy the display more. Code for we dont wanna make one that works well. YMMV though.
I've read that the one T-Mobile sells is pretty decent (if expensive). The reddit user who posted about it said hr believed it had the full adhesive, rather than just around the edges like the others I've seen, so that should help it not come off as easily. I'm probably going to get one today if they have them in stock. Also, a nice thing about getting one from them, which may justify the price, is that they will replace it for free whenever necessary.
This is the model.

Which one? There are two, one with the black border and one without. I ordered both but have only tried the one with the black border. Fit was nice but touch sensitivity sucks. Didn't seem like it adhered well. Had rainbow affect in the middle.
If anyone finds a glass protector without the stupid notch and covers the camera lenses please post here. I want full coverage like my V10 had. Didn't seem to affect the cameras at all. I want one that just has a hole for the speaker. A rear cover and camera lens protection would be nice as well.
