Head over to daydeal.com they have some accessories even a TV out cord that says its for the incredible and g2 ( anyone got extra cash to buy it and see if it works? ) I ordered this clear case with a kickstand I'll put a review when i get it. But take a look. Not much of a selection but might as well be prepared
have no plans of making a fat phone fatter. maybe an invisible shield or BSE but no hard case for me.
Hate to say it, but I don't think we'll be seeing much accessories for this phone. Due to it being a Tmobile phone only, I just don't see many making products for it.
Im gonna get something to protect the back cuz it looks like it gets scratched easily

aluminum scratches. alot. especially if its chrome plated. might just get a back cover. screen looks durable.
I'll probably just keep my eye on decalgirl.com and wait for them to release some of their awesome quality skins. I've used their product on all my handheld portable devices that they make skins for.

Oh man, decalgirl.com has been out for years. I remember getting a decal for my original XBOX 360 from them when I first got it. Top notch stuff from them!

I doubt only being for tmobile will make it have less accessories. I have so many cases and such for my nexus and the nexus was mostly used on tmobile but now they have it across seas. The iPhones an at&t only phone and it has too many accessories. And to ditto what he said there is also the desire z

I understand that the Desire Z will be out as well, and that still means nothing. All those cases you speak of for the Nexus One are cheap cases found on eBay, or made by some cheap China company. I know because I own a Nexus One as well, and it took a while to find a great case for it.
Also, to compare the new G2 to an iPhone is just stupid. iPhone carries the name, and has been around for years. Of course there's a ton of crap for it. Heck the G2 won't even come near to selling a quarter of what the iPhone, nor will it come close to what the Galaxy S has for that matter.
All I'm saying is that we won't see the nicer accessories made by the better companies make product for this phone. We're just gonna get stuck with those cheap ebay crap.

Uhh Seidio? The made cases for the N1 almost instantly. That is not a cheap case at all. I know cause I had a holster combo from them.......

You can't really blame them. In a business perspective making accessories for the iphone is the most profitable since iphone is, in a sense, dumbed down for the masses. Right now I think Apple and Blackberry combined own at least 50% market share. So unless Android can somehow bring their share of the smartphone market up another 10%, I doubt accessory manufacturers will see accessories for Android devices as a primary source of revenue.
Android devices are made for geeks like us who like to customize instead of having things already premade for us. So I'm sure this aspect will appeal to more and more people in the near future. And from what I've seen, HTC has brilliant marketing campaigns. I'm sure in around 3 or 4 more quarters android will have a much better standing in the smartphone market and more accessories will be made. Just my 2 cents.

I just contacted DecalGirl and they said that the phone is scheduled for R&D for their products. They seem to have a pretty quick turnaround once they have a template made for a device.
i have a 99 cent silicon case for my nexus one which came with a free screen protector. they work great, and have kept my phone flawless.... so cheap ebay stuff works just fine for me.
I'm going to miss my Nexus One's foam pouch.
Anyone seen something like that for the G2 yet?

You shoulda kept the N1 pouch...the G2 fits pretty good in it! Snug, but good enough for me until I get some protection for the thing.

yea I received it today in the mail and just got my phone about an hour ago. Right now I'm restoring apps so after that I'll make a video off my nexus and put it on youtube
Anyone know any good sports armband to hold my galaxy while i'm jogging ?
I've looked at google/ebay and found only universal cheap stuff that doesn't look all that great.
I simply want something to hold the galaxy (which I play music from and use apps for sports), protect it from damage and sweat and allow me to use its functions.

Really ?! Any iphone armband ? Headphone's hole in the same place for iphone 4 and Galaxy ?
In that case i'll go for pro armbands, marware and such i guess...
Will be glad to hear input from people who tried it.
Search for the existing thread on this topic in this forum, there are several good suggestions there (I posted one that is specifically made for the SGS and very good).

I've looked through the forums. If I remember right, you recommended the iGatdgitz one. I've been going through the net for hours looking for this and the Vangoddy one but found it nowhere in stock.
I am still wondering whether every iphone4 armband will fit. Usually quality companies create stuff for them and if that's true then it's probably the best solution.

Iphone4 armbands won't fit, the dimensions are slightly off. Iphone 3GS ones on the other hand will, I use a generic iphone 3GS armband and it works like a charm.
i ve got one for iphone. sgs is slightly longer, but in practice i am really satisfied...
google for "SportWrap Armband"
br
There you go:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Sports-Gym-Jogg..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item20b7ce1905
If the iPhone 3G armbands fit there are probably some very good ones out there as others have suggested, certainly would be worth looking into also.
I will order this one:
h**p://w*w.amazon.co.uk/Navitech-Neoprene-Resistant-Jogging-Reflection/dp/B00486SH3Y/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1300140440&sr=8-3
It's simple, and I think it will fits perfect!
http://www.igadgitz.com/products/fi...-samsung-galaxy-s-i9000-android-smartpho.html
Fits the phone like a glove but strap can be too short if you have big arms.
IF you get an iphone one, just make sure the material can stretch a bit. (They usually do)
Is the igadgitz too bulky, looks like I would get very sweaty in it?
I have looked everywhere for the miCoach one but that appears impossible to get in Australia without paying more then the armbands total value..
Well since it's my time to finally switch from AT&T to T-Mobile, I've been considering getting the Nexus S. Given the release of dual-core phones out there, I've been wondering if I should perhaps invest in the Galaxy S II or something along that line. Hmmm.. I know this question is a little based on personal preference, but I really am curious with what other people would do in my situation.
My preferences are...
I want a good "dev" phone which is easy to have a vanilla Android installation on. Preferably the latest
Good battery life is a major, major plus
Great screen that is really nice on text and readable in sunlight. Scratch resistance is a plus.
Processing power is nice, too. Though, I want something that just makes everything feel "smooth" and hopefully will stay that way for future versions to come. That being said, maybe how long the device will be supported for?
Nothing too expensive...
I've been leaning towards the Nexus S, but as I mentioned earlier, hearing the opinion of a tech-savvy community really helps. I am just wondering what the pros/cons would be of both choices if there are any flaws with the Nexus S, or anything else...
They have said that even though the Nexus 4 is selling out worldwide, they wont make one unless there is consumer demand for it. I have already sent numerous tweets about it asking if they are considering making one soon.
You should shoot them a message asking the same. Even if you dont want one, more case options from major makers cant hurt can it?

Some of the replys on twitter look rather promising.
I did an online chat with them this moring.
I was told "there are no plans at this time" to make one, however "that doesn't mean" we won't. Said marketing needed to be done, etc.
I asked if selling millions vs. hundreds of thousands had anything to do with their decision & the said that it could be a factor.
Guess i'm an Otterbox fan boy. Had every smartphone i've owned since the Blackberry Bold in one.
That is what I am hoping would happen if people start really bugging them for it.
My nexus 4 looks great now, but i always worry about that one **** up moment where it doesnt quite make it into my pocket. If they dont want to make it, then oh well, someone else who does want my money will get it.
all the the big case makers (trident, ballisitc, otterbox...etc) are staying away from the nexus 4 as if it was the plague... it's anyone's guess why won't they make a case for a phone that clearly it has a demand (look how fast it sold out at google and tmo) and clearly would benefit from protection, and If they have made a case for the Optimus G... just round out the corners and make one for the N4... no real rocket science there
Well... I want to be optimistic for once... for once..:good:
I really want Otterbox for my Nexus 4 love Otterbox. I don't have a twitter is there a email address I could spam them at.
Sent From My Buttery Smooth LG Nexus 4
i dont do twitter and i dont like otterbox, but ill send an email to bother them just to seemingly trump up demand
updated with facebook and email.
spam awaaaaaaaay :cyclops:
Definitely tweeted them about it, I'm surprised by the amount of tweets about it so far! keep it up guys good work
I would love for them to make a Reflex Series case for the N4 like they did with the iphone 4(s)
Less bulk than the Commuter but just about the same level of protection and easier time to take the cover on/off too!!
Let's campaign this!

I tweeted them, and they asked about some Reddit Petition. Does anyone know about this petition? I'd love to sign it, and think it should be linked here as well.
i was saddened when they didnt make a case for the Nexus S, my girlfriend got the Galaxy nexus, and now she has an otter case for her phone.
I get the Nexus 4.... NOTHING!
just my luck!

Yeah, it's right here: change.org/petitions/otterbox-create-cases-for-the-lg-manufactured-google-nexus-4-2
Sign it if you want the otterbox!
The only one that interests me is the Defender, with its built-in screen protector.
Anybody here who gave this case a try: http://www.ebay.de/itm/390518619002 ?
So far the only one I found that covers the USB port an headphone jack.
Signed.

don't use this, it will make the n4 TWICE as thick! the otter is too bulky and thick

Case choices are always good. Don't like them? Dont bash them but support them either way. The more accessories we get, the better.
Everybody has their own requirements for cases, some prefer best protection whereas some people want minimal protection etc.

We are evaluating the device and watching the online petitions. However, at this moment we don't plan on protecting the device.

If they ever change their mind, it'll be too late anyway: Most everyone will have settled for other options.
Another one I haven't seen before with pretty good ratings and actually doesn't look half bad (plenty of colors if you don't like green).

Anyone tried this one? Looks like I may be able to use this in one of my existing holsters, but I like going by the opinions I see on here first.
