Silicone Skin & Pouch - together.

Hello,
I thought I'd share my silicone skin and case combination with you, both from good old eBay...
Silicone Skin (& screen protector): eBay link - £3
For that price, it was worth a gamble and it paid off! If looks nice, fits perfectly and is nice to hold. The screen protector is a bonus and it also fits perfectly. (this might me UK only shipping though)
Pouch: eBay link - £2.50
Supposedly original HTC, but I wouldn't know... It's like the HTC supplied pouch that came with my last phone, HD2. The above silicone skin fitted on my Incredible S fits inside of this pouch, and it's a really good fit like it was built for it! No problem getting it out to answer a call. I paid £2.50 with free shipping on a 'buy it now'.
Over all, for around £5.50 all-in, I'm happy with this combination - my phone is nicely protected and isn't too bulky in my pocket.

That case looks really nice, could you post some photos of it?

thanks, ill be looking into the case

Someone wanted photos...?
As requested, I just took some pics for you.
(I've just had a bag of crisps so I had to polish my phone a bit to get rid of greasy finger prints - I hope you all appreciate my effort!!)
I should have put these up in my original post really, but here you go...

By the way, the silicone case was delivered in a couple of days after placing the order (UK Royal Mail).
The Pouch came from Asia somewhere, but it got here safely and took around 10 days.

do you find it hard to press down on the power button?

+1 on the question about power buttons but also about the volume buttons - are they still easily pressed??
i was also wondering what kind of material is it?
is it soft stretchy silicone that grips really well? because i hate it when those stick in my pocket, or is it more like the inc. s's original case finish?? kind of hard / rubbery?
thanks

The power button and the volume buttons push OK. There are moulded 'buttons' in the case and pressing them activates the buttons just fine. I've never had a problem with them not working.
Regarding the material it is made from, its not a really rubbery/sticky material, so it shouldn't gather pocket fluff! Its actually quite smooth and rigid (the material), flexible still, but holds the shape of the phone nicely. You can just about stretch it over the phone to get it on.

I purchased this case for £6.95 form AMazon yesterday and it came today. I wanted a thin case that offers as much protection as it could, and I believe this is that case. THis case is listed as $35 on thier website, I just wanted to say I dont think that it is worth that much.
The case has a hard, plastic structure with a layer of Brushed Aluminum on the back. This gives it a cool touch and a very nice texture. All cutouts are very well aligned and I have had no issues with audio or pressing the volume or power buttons. The pogo pins are also exposed which is nice as this is the only case I know where they have allowed them to be open. Overall the case is very good very slim and offers quite a lot of protection.
THe negatives come in the way of the design though. The huge poetic logo on the back of the case (see images) may put some people off as well as the bottom and top silver plastic being exposed on the device. Also the case is not that grippy to hold. Meaning it is very slippy to hold and may fall out of your hand.
Great case at a great price.

Here's my video:

Great review man... does it provide any protection to the front? What I mean is if you put the nexus face down does the glass touch the surface at all?

Thanks for putting up the review. That has got to be one ugly case though. I want my branding to be mostly invisible. That one screams LOOK AT ME!!!!! :silly:

Just recently got my nexus and I've been looking for a new case. I just recently dropped my nexus on concrete and the top right corner the I guess bezel or the silver gray material came off. Am wonder ok by if this case would provide decent protection against such a fall

[REVIEW] GMYLE (TM) Black PU Leather Cross Pattern Slim Sleeve

As someone that isn't a fan of cases for devices and prefers the naked feel of the device but still wants protection for their tablet I went looking for a sleeve that I thought looked good and would give me some protection. So as a result, I ordered this sleeve on the 22nd of September and received it today (October 2nd). And I must say it is nice quality. While it is not real looking leather (one that you would find on a jacket or sofa), the quality of the sleeve is still nice and it doesn't look cheap at all. If anything, I would just classify it as a nice quality looking and feeling felt. I also did some tests by bending it and twisting it and there was no cracking of the material.
As you may or not be able to see from the picture below the only part of the tablet that is visible is the centre part of the tablet where the camera is located but that is just for convience to slide in and pull out the tablet.

I would upload more pictures but I think the pictures up on amazon do showcase it quite well and accurately but I thought that a picture of the quality of the material deserved a more closely looked at picture.
Here is the url for the sleeve, although if you were to look up the product on ebay you would find it for about half the price. I only got it from amazon because I had a gift card that I wanted to use and since its free money then why not right?

So all in all I really do like this sleeve and I apologize on the crappy review (it isnt my speciality) but I just thought it be something that people might be interested as an alternative to getting a case for their tablet. If there is something that I didnt cover that you would like to know about more then ask away and I should be able to answer it for you.

Thanks. I have had this one on my shortlist as I want a simple sleeve. It doesn't have any kind of a sleep magnet in it though does it? Do you find any problems with the device turning on while in the sleeve?

I can't see that being a problem, with the recessed button and the fairly stiff looking material of the case it's not likely to happen.

No there isnt any magnets in the sleeve. And no it doesnt turn on accidentally while in it. Although after a bit of testing of it, it is possible to press the power button through the sleeve. But I was trying to do it intentionally just now. If you are to just carry it around normally then I wouldnt suspect the power button being turned on by accident since the material is somewhat stiff.

Thanks. What's the inside like? The pictures look like smooth tan PU but wondering if it any kind of a softer or microfiber material.

Here is a picture attached. The material is white inside if the picture doesn't look white to you. And it feels a little more coarser and textured than a microfibre cloth I'm guessing to help from the tablet not slide out as easily. But with that said it is still smooth and won't scratch the screen if it doesn't have a screen protector on it.

I wish it had a magnet, but I impulsely bought this

This would be the perfect "thin case".

I have a Samsung flip case which I love but the lack of drop protection is disconcerting. What would be awesome would be if someone made little clear gel "corner bumpers" that you could just fit over each corner and not all the way around the phone. They could be small and thin with a little stickiness on the inside to hold them on. It would be the ultimate "thin" case as it only protected the corners (the trouble spots).
Does such a thing exist?

or make your own and don't put any coloring in it. I think it will be as clear as silicone gel.

Thanks but I am looking for something premade and clear. That would look pretty ghetto.

mine doesn't look perfect, but it's only as ghetto as your art skills. get someone else to do it for you. It's not just silicone so not sticky after it sets.
It's the best drop protection you'll get on anything thin. plastic just transfers energy to the screen, rubber on the sides just adds bulk and there doesn't need to be anything on the back in most cases.
In reality though, most cases look ghetto compared to the gorgeous phones we get new and then cover up. My brother's iPhone bumpers are 5th or 6th generation Sugru, so he's getting pretty good at shaping them and they are only raised about 1/16" on the ends but a bit more for the face.

Wouldn't those just fall off if you dropped it on one of those corners? What holds that stuff in place, can it be removed without damage to the device? Residue, adhesive?

Jeans pocket / sleeve for G4

Here's a bit of a left-field suggestion among all the rubber backs and bumper cases: why not get a sleeve case instead?

I found this seller on etsy a while ago. They make pouches for any number of devices using jeans fabric on the outside and coloured cotton on the inside. What I like about them: they are very minimalist and low-key. Perfect for protecting your G4 while traveling or when you want to toss it into a bag but you're worried it might get pushed around or scratched by sharp objects such as your house keys.
In my opinion a perfect solution for those looking to protect the phone when it's not in use but who don't want to mess up the design by putting a rubber or bumper case around it. Of course, it won't help you if it slips out of your hand and hits the concrete while you're using it.. those are the trade-offs.
I have a similar pouch for my Nexus 7 (2nd gen) and it's been serving me well for almost 2 years now. Highly recommended.
I ordered one for my G4 yesterday (the phone arrived two days ago). I'll post an update once I receive the sleeve case.

It's pretty simple actually...
1) a sleeve doesn't protect against drops
2) you can't use your phone without taking it out of the sleeve.

I made similar points in my initial post —
It won't be of much use to you if you feel you need protection at all times.
I intend to keep it in the sleeve when not in use and while traveling. I'm going to see if that works for me as well as I hope it does — it's been a great combination with the Nexus 7.

See the pictures I posted above - it's like a jeans pocket that you slide the phone into. Mine has an extra pocket in the front that can carry a credit card or something similar. Just slide your phone in and it's protected from falls or during travel.
I prefer to use my phone 'naked' and I use instant messaging much more than actual phone calls, so this arrangement works very well for me. Hope this helps.
