It looks like they've got a decent amount of Nexus stuff.

Personally, I'm waiting for incipio

or

This is what I went with for mine:
Crystal Skin
Should be similar to the ones that were popular with the myTouch / Magic. The resin TPU ones.
And for screen protectors I will see if these are any good. Seems to be an invisible shield / BSE clone.
As long as they hold up until more accessories become available I'm fine.
I don't think the cases from fommy are good because some of the cases block the proximity sensor on the phone.
I've had the resin TPU one on my magic for quite some time, and its the best I have ever used. It doesnt add alot of weight to the phone, and lso one of the easiest to install.
I really hope somebody comes out with a carbon fiber case, that would be sweet.
I am getting the privacy screen protector from Fommy and I'll post back my findings on the sucker.
It'll be cool if moshi comes out w/ something. My friend has one for her iphone and it looks sweet! It is very stream-lined and doesn't make your phone any fatter. I typically hate cases. However, I think what moshi has looks pretty sweet.

That skin looks pretty cool. Care to share any pics of it installed onto your phone when you have a moment?
I know in the past people were saying that magnetic closures messed up the G1's compass over time. Is that turning out to be true? I would think the N1 and any other phone with a compass would suffer the same fate if that is the truth. I like having my compass..
I bought the Ferrari car charger from that site. I ain't get it yet but when I will, ill post a review.
never order from fommy! i had the worst experience with them. i ordered the screen protector and the clear case (both were pre-order).. and also another screen protector for my N97.. later realized they didnt have the cheapest deals.. wanted to cancel the order the same day i ordered them. called customer service, noone picked up. tried a hundred times.. emailed them as well to no avail. come monday, i get a confirmation email that one of the items was shipped. argh! finally after calling nonstop, a customer rep finally picked up. I can only be refunded for the two items that hasn't shipped yet.

Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience with fommy. I on the other hand had no problem with the site. I had no problem calling them and asking them and speaking to a representative.
What about the battery they have...That doesnt look like the right battery! It says it fits 3-4 phones....Dosent look right...What do yall think?
Be very careful ordering from Fommy
Anyone with a few minutes should take a look at this forum thread. It is a long thread and I don't expect anyone to read it all. The bottom line is Fommy does not have much of a credibility when it comes to their salespeople.

Amzer and Fommy.com are joke retailers in my opinion. I ordered a case from them, a hard case, which in the pictures on their site showed that it covered the front bottom portion of the phone completely around the trackball. It looked great in the pic as it showed it protected every exposed area of the phone except the screen and trackball. They charged $17 + 5 shipping which I though was a bit high for a hard case but since it covered the whole phone I thought it was worth it. After waiting 2 weeks for delivery what I got was totally different than what was pictured. It's a hard case that covers only the outer front edge of the phone like a crystal case. Not worth more than five dollars on eBay. I went back on there site and noticed that the small image of the case still looks like what i thought I was ordering but if you hover your mouse over the image a larger image appears that is totally different than the smaller. This image was changed after the day I ordered at some point. I talked to a CSR (Fommy.com) and they had no idea what i was talking about and said they would need to look into it and get back to me, that was a week ago. I e mailed Amzer about it and they never responded back (Partner site). The customer service rep did say i could ship it back at my expense. WTF. Theives and con-artists. Do yourself a favor and don't deal with them. Pass it along.
Add cheapnexusone.com to that list.
Good for us to know about these bad sites! thanks
There's another thread like this as well. I posted on there on my experience. The best way to get in touch with them is during the day on the IM on their site to get ANYTHING done. Emails go unanswered.
Strange.. I ordered an Amzer Argyll case from them and it arrived within 5 days and was perfect..
well i just ordered "the diamond" case yesterday from ultra-cases.com, i will let you guys know how it goes.
Today to the first 500 people or something similar to that StealthGuard is giving away their StealthGuards for free.

Don't order a ton, who knows how long they will do this for.
Just saw this on AndroidForums, thanks for the tip rubi76.
Just 2.85 USD! I couldn't turn it down... I will let you know how it is... I bought the BSE last time and gave up trying to put it on... although I will be keeping my phone in an otterbox defender I want to try this out!
Yeah, I ordered one as well. How can you say no when you just pay for shipping.
cheers. ordered one too, hopefuly it wont take too long to ship from the US to england.
Thanks. 4.88 USD, I ordered two. Now my Dad can't say I don't think of him. Haha.
Ordered one too, only 2,24€!
Good looking out. I ordered one too. I wonder if i can put this on inside my Defender case, and if so, how will it change my touch screen performance? Can't be too careful, right?
Just got one thanks for the heads up
thanks! got mine for $2.84! hopefully its good!
I've been looking for a case for long time just ordered one, thanks a lot!
Nice! Ordered 2 as well. Will let you guys know how long international shipping takes.
Thanks for the info, been looking for one and couldn't pass up this deal
=D ordered one too. A friend sms'ed me about it
I like these a lot actually. I've never used THIS brand, but I ordered invisibleSHIELD by ZAGG when I initially purchased my Nexus One in February. Its been great for me. My only complaint, as you see in the pictures, is it leaves small areas uncovered (along the crease lines). Its such a small area, but of course mine got a small nick right in between on the side crease when my son pulled it off of the dresser.
Other then that, it saved my ass when I was moving a dresser and metal pieces and one hit my pocket and put a thick scratch on my screen protector that's part of this shield but did not go through.
I'd order this for the $2.34 but I LITERALLY don't even have $2 in my account until Tuesday, as sad as that is lol.
Awesome! Thanks!
just ordered two of them thinks for the tip sir... was going to order like ten but then i said thats not nice lol so only two but thanks
Thanks OP. Got myself one. Even though i havent put on my bestskinsever, couldnt miss out for $2.85.
Wow just noticed its not just for the N1. Its for every phone on their site. First 1000.
Amazing, just got myself one, can't beat the $2.85 price!
I cant place my order, paypal send me and error:
You have written non valid characters in this box...
WTF?
QUESTION
I um also ordered also ordered one for my coworkers iphone4 and my boss blackberry curve she paid the shipping so it was free all the way good find op... but question how long does shipping take
Hi, a while back, i found that stealth guards gave away free screen guards. I ordered one, and got it today. does anyone know what the 'solution' is that the website says to use?
I also saw somewhere that you don't need the solution, not sure on that though.
http://stealthguards.com/ there is there website, incase anyone was wondering.
anyone? please?
I bought similar protectors off of ebay. The solution I used was 1 drop regular dish soap, 1 tablespoon of 70% rubbing alcohol, mixed with 1/2 - 3/4 cup of tap water. Not sure if this is compatible with the ones you purchased, but it worked for me.
I just ordered one myself. Can't lose out for $2 shipping!
Skinomi uses water as there solution I believe. I have applied other products like this that require 1 drop dish soap in a quart of water then sprayed on the surface.
Thanks for the heads up on the deal!!!
I got mine an installed it, I installed the rear shield and the screen shield. The install was easy and looks great, almost like a regular screen feel. The back cover makes the battery cover glossy so its kind of neat, not really needed though.
I would urge people to be careful ordering from this company .... we ordered 2 units the beginning of the month (Sept) and have heard NOTHING from them about shipping or delays or anything ... you prolly want to avoid them .....
Cheers
ordered mine like 2 weeks ago, and mine arrive monday..havent installed it yet.. but for the price of shipping im not gonna complain..
I say just use water..

Yeah I place my order on the 4th and they haven't sent me any conformation of my order, but they charged my pay-pal immediately.
Just got the Zagg screen protector. It is cut around a 32nd of an inch too big for the screen and overlaps frame around the screen. Since the screen is recessed just a hair, a gap forms along the edges.
I installed one on my Vibrant (sold it for the G2) and it was perfect.
For those who say the protector wasn't centered correctly, it was and overlaps on both top and bottom and side to side.
Going to contact Zagg.
Anyone else with this problem?
Yep... just came upstairs from installing mine. A hair too big. It'll do until my PhantomSkinz protector arrives.
Zagg is sending me a replacement
Just got off the phone with Zagg. They're going to send me a replacement but the representative said this was the first time he's heard of this.

Just submitted my complaint via the online form, so I guess now they have at least two cases. Of course, I have a feeling you'll get another screen protector that's too big. Let us know if it fits better.
Mine did not fit either, I assumed that I did not properly apply it. SO I checked back and you are right, it is a bit too long. I will contact Zagg tonight to confirm that there is more than two users with this problem ;-)
Mines on the way hope it doesn't have that problem

Mine was just a fraction too big, but as it dried, it shrunk a little and now fits perfect.
And yes, I am talking about the Zagg screen protector despite how that sounds.
Edit: I guess there is the slightest bit in one corner that is not adhering because it is just a hair too big. It is perfectly positioned and no room to move it, so yeah, guess it does have a problem. As time goes by, it will be a bigger problem as dust and stuff gets in there.

Too big here too. I contacted them through the online form, so we'll see.

I just ordered the full shield today...
At least they follow through with warranties.
Same. I just got my Zagg today and just installed it. Too big!
I also just sent them an email to let them know about it. I told them to actually get a fix first before sending me a new Zagg shield.

I ordered the full cover as well today. I tracked the shipping with twitter and I believe they're back ordered.
Fix when I get replacement
As I mentioned in the first post, Zagg is sending me a replacement screen protector..the rep I talked to said it may be just a bad batch that is oversized.
They also originally charged me $3.99 for the replacement until I called back and complained that this wasn't a warranty replacement, it was a bad product replacement.
At any rate, if the new screen is too large, I'll probably just get a ruler and a box cutter and trim it myself. I'll compare the cutout to the screen and make the appropriate cuts. I did a test fit with the original cutout...it seemed too large but I thought the screen protector might be smaller to make it easier to peel off the backing.
All in all, Zagg products are still top notch!
When someone gets their full body coverage do you mind sharing how it feels in the hand over the soft-touch plastic?
Weird, I've never heard of Zagg. I live in Arizona, is it mainly an eastern thing or something? Since the G1 I've always used Ghost Armor, which is actually based in Az. I don't know how Zagg feels, but I highly recommend Ghost Armor. It actually feels pretty close to HTCs soft touch. Its almost like a soft clear rubber that's super thin yet very protective. I've heard the material was developed by the military and licensed by Ghost Armor.
Anyways I went and got a screen cover (they will install it all for you) the day my G2 came, but I'm waiting on them to get the kit for full armor which should be in Monday hopefully. The armor comes with a lifetime warrenty and they'll put a new cover on at anytime if you drop it a bunch and screw it up for free.

I ordered mine yesterday.... waiting on it.... hoping it fits...
I just filled out the online form and came here to see if anyone else was having the same problem. Too tall and a hair too wide that keeps it from laying flat in a couple of places. Good results previously from Zagg. Kind of like brando.hk protectors, but they didn't have anything yet for the G2.
I think it's too tall to ever shrink enough to fit.

The funny thing about what you described sounds just like invisible shield. The material is military grade and used by the military. Anyway, I lived in California for the past 7 years and used invisible shield on all my devices.

I guess you were lucky. When I contacted them they asked for photos and want me to measure screen and shield. I guess it depends on who reads your emails

Yea, let us know how it turns out when you get it. Hopefully they'll fix the size issue. I was thinking of purchasing one myself.
Yesterday I ordered a ZAGG skin, only to find out that they have been back-ordered. The CC said "quality issues", but I'm not sure what is really causing this (maybe the complaints about the screen cover size that we've seen here?)
Also, the BSE for G2 is now available! Requested them to make a skin last weekend, and got a reply that it is now official! As usual, they are offering a small discount.
http://www.bestskinsever.com/t-mobile-htc-g2-skin
Wow, for only $7 too. Way cheaper than Zagg's 25.
i ordered one last night around midnight and I got a delivery confirmation...so im guessing that means I'm gonna get one of the oversized ones? bummer
are the bse as good of quality as zagg?
i was going to order from zagg last night as well-- hopefully they back in stock soon so i can use my discount
in 4 1 thank you

i had BSE full-body on my G1 for a long time and it was awesome - kept the phone like brand new. eventually (like, after a year) it started getting a little grimy along the edges, but for like $7 i should have just bought another then. instead i took it off, the novelty of the G1 having faded.
anyway, i just placed my order for the full-body BSE. can't wait to have it so i can feel safer about throwing my G2 in my purse (along with scratchifying keys, pens, etc.). i refuse to pay the exorbitant zagg prices. i don't need a kit either. bse comes with clear instructions, so if you're careful and patient, it goes on perfectly.

Does the BSE full body catch a lot of lint? Lots of screenshots I've seen always show it with tons of lint and dust.

not really, no. just a little inevitably is going to stick along the edges where the skin is cut, but no lint or anything on the face of the phone with BSE. i think it's the same material as zagg, so presumably equivalent results. a little orange peel style dimpling as well, but also to be expected on these kinds of things.
that said, i've never actually used the zagg so i could be missing out!
