$10 bucks isn't bad. Haven't done a great deal of digging yet though for other cases.
Wondering if At&t is going to have any cases on launch. They have been historically bad in the past at carrying anything but iphone accessories on new launches.

Says it ships 12/1.
I'm hoping AT&T includes a screen protector with it. They have with all other smart phones I've got from them.
Amzer® Silicone Skin Jelly Case - Black For Samsung Focus I917
got this case and happy with this. it fits perfectly and having openings for the main ports. could have been much better if supplied with a screen protector.....although I like it.....................
how'd you get it before the ship date and before the phones even out?

I can't find a single site selling a silicone case for the Focus right now - or any case for that matter. Where did you get yours?

Just ordered the Amzer Jelly case. It is a stop gap until better cases come out. Fommy is running a special right now. If you act quick, you can get 10% off and free shipping. I paid $8.95 total using promo code "PRESHOP". Good until 23NOV 23:59 est.
Picked up a $7 case on ebay, black silicone. Should arrive any day now and it will tide me over until something better becomes available.

Got my ebay case/skin. It's rubbery, fits well will contours matching the back of the phone. Camera, power, and volume are raised nubs, not cut-outs. Actually this helps with button actuation. Changes the feel of the phone in the hand substantially for the better. You have more control while typing, and you don't feel like the phone will squirt from your hand. Note this is the rubbery-soft type, not the gel type of skin (e.g. like the BodyGlove that AT&T sells).

Is this the one you're talking about? it's pretty cheap and i looked at some people's feedback about the case and they said it was good as well.

Yeah, that's the one, or an equivalent from another seller. I'm sure they are all exactly the same. The kiosks at the mall would sell it for $20.

I try the ATT, I wasted my money. It is so tight that the power button is aparently pressed, so become very sensitive. to avoid this I drill a whole in the gel. Not good
Any pics?

Amzer Silicone Skin Jelly Case
I ordered the Amzer Silicon Skin Jelly Case for my Samsung Focus from Amzer.com and WOW!!! ... talk about absolute perfection!
I tried the $34 one from the AT&T store and it seemed like an idiot designed it and so of course I didn't expect much from a $10 case but figured it would be something until more are developed for this type of phone.
Boy was I wrong about this being a temporary fix because this $10 thinhg fits absolutely perfect, no obstruction with the buttons, looks amazing, feels like it protects this thing PERFECTLY! and feels so velvety smooth & grippy.
The reason I got mine already is because the black color is out of stock but not the other colors and so I ordered black for myself and maroon red for my wife and so they shipped hers already with no extra shipping charges. AND might I add that the maroon red doesn't look girly at all, it actually looks pretty bad-a%% with the black color of the phone. Of course I'm still waiting for my black one BUT for those want it now, the maroon red is the coolest color right after black.
I just ordered 2 of those jelly cases for the Wife and I, and I ordered a cool leather pouch w/belt clip case from www.focusaccessories.com to hold mine at work...
Could you post pics of your Focus with the Amzer case?

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.
http://www.amazon.com/Amzer-Argyle-Gloss-Samsung-Google/dp/B004FPZBSM/ref=sr_1_7?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1292814933&sr=1-7
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
http://www.alibaba.com/manufacturers/case-for-i9020-nexus-s-manufacturer.html
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.

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.
I can't find a BLACK color pouch anywhere besides this eBay link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/20078993410...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_8109wt_1138
I bought it because I really like the black color than the other nasty colors but the downside is the shipping is just a nightmare to wait that long.
Anyone else have any luck?

The pics in the ebay listing looks like a knockoff of the Mofi cases. The back of the case is branded Mofi and these do not have that branding. Additionally the zippers hold the Mofi branding as well, which this listing does not have.
Sorry, but I hate to say that the build is not really up to par. It looks like someone sewed the zipper themselves and you can tell the bunching of the fabric around the zipper boarder in some of the pics.
Bottom line, you get what you pay for.

Yeah, I noticed that a little after I posted this thread. I'm an idiot for not digging deeper in the pictures. I just wanted a damn black case that I got excited and purchased this. I guess i'll go for the Green MOFi one...

I'll do it!
Sent from T-Mobile G4
I'll get behind this... also have a brown one that's in new condition. Would like a black, blue, or red..
Same here. I have a brown leather cover and would be I interested in trading for a black one
I might be game for a trade. I have the black one on order at best buy and hopefully getting it Friday when Sprint releases. I'd like to see the black first before committing.
Anyone want to trade a brown leather back for my soon to be delivered AWESOME Metallic Gray Back? Maybe with some $$$$ thrown in?
Question is how though
I'll trade my Metallic Grey + $20 for a black leather one. Far too expensive anywhere I find them.
We only got Black in Canada, thats why I ordered Brown But I feel like in a few months I'll end up ordering a red one.
I'm looking for a brown leather one if someone wants to trade for a Black Titanium/Metallic Gray one. I'll pay for shipping
Won't have my phone til Friday but I'm likely in to trade my black leather for the T-Mobile brown. What for that process look like.

How does the brown leather feel? I'm honestly not that impressed with the black leather.
The thing is guys the brown and black have different color buttons that match with the leather....

My black leather phone appears to have gold buttons, and I think that would look good with tan leather.
The leather definitely is hard, so hard that it feels like textured plastic

That's weird I have seen the black leather ones have gun metal color online.... Trust me your leather texture is way nicer... I use to sell 10k$ hand bags and caviar was the best feeling...

I haven't seen a tan leather one to compare, but depending on lighting it's either a very light silver or light bronze/gold. Seems a tad out of touch with the black, wish it was dark gray instead.
Pretty sick skin from XTREMESKINS UK. They do global shipping too. Mine is with the matt anthracite skin.

Was expecting a little texture to be honest

I wanted to get that one but I changed my mind last min. Yeah, it looked like it had a sandy texture to it just from the visual alone but it didn't, sadly. It still looks good though.
Might check out the dbrand red dragon next although I think I will end up buying the black one. I had the black one on my S8 and it was awesome

How about grip with this skin? Applied a sandstone Skinnova skin but that one hardly added any grip.

It definitely has a better grip than being nude with the metal but there's no texture for mine, at least. If you get the wood, carbon and etc series, it'll be textured.
