Any one gettin the Seidio Innocase?

Anyone gonna pre order this?
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr3hnx1-bk.htm
I really want to, but thought I would ask if any one has tried their cases?

I loved that case for my G1... Just waiting for the Nexus version to be released. This little pouch that comes with it just ain't cuttin it! But I will be all over that Innocase once its released

I like their case's a lot, and plan on getting a high quality case for the N1 from them!

i might just pre order then. 30 bux is alot tho lol

Ordered it and the holster a few days ago.

gonna order the combo but worried how good tha holster holds the phone... n how thin the case will be

i just pre ordered 2. no holster

i know someone who has this case for their droid and it's really really nice...
i'm not a fan of it for the nexus though due to the fact that it looks like it's a 2 piece design that comes apart in the middle.
i'll actually wait for this one: http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr5hnx1-bk.htm

why is the non snap in one 10 dollars cheaper?

I want the snap too, but it seems they've removed it from the list??
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/4025.htm
I can still see it in the link posted above but no longer in the page with all the nexus accessories.
Even a search for snap doesn't show a nexus hit. Maybe they've scrapped it...

Had a quick online chat with customer services:
"We are still planning on making the snap but there is no eta. We are working on it, so it will come out we just are not sure on the time."
reason why they pulled the listing:
"We were unsure of the release date and did not want to confuse customers."
Doesn't sound right to me though, it said under development and there was no date mentioned or even a way of preordering (just adding to wishlist), how could that have been confusing?!

Pics when u get tha new suit please lol

got mine dunno if im a big fan. the sliding in of the case almost took my zagg shield right off. I have to fit it at the top and squeeze it in, and still doesnt look like its sitting right with the zagg shield. Oh well gonna keep it on paid 30 bux for it lol

Lightforce, how much thickness does the case add on? Seidio says it's 1mm thick, or thin, but I was wondering if you could tell us how it feels versus the naked Nexus One?

doesnt add much thickness, but makes it feel heavier thats for sure.

ordered mine yesterday. Shipped today.
I had the inocase II for the original storm and it fit great. Hoping this will be the same.
Lightforce,
could you take pics from all angles and what it looks like while putting it on since you said it almost took your screen protector off.
Thanks

Carbon Fiber Nexus

So i got this idea from one guy who put the 3M carbon fiber skin on EVO, But the problem was the curvy shape of my beloved Nexus. So I tried a few things and wasted some Vinyl but finally i bought Best skins ever skin for $8 and used it as a stencil and cut out the vinyl with my xacto. here are the pics. I liked it a lot so i thought i'll share with you guys.

That.....Looks.....AMAZING! Do tell....

Wanna give me the skin you didn't use? ;-)
Sent from my Nexus One

looks really cool ive been looking for a carbon fiber cover

That looks so sexy!!!

Agreed, you've 'riced' up your phone.

i dont think its any more ricing up than putting on a case. isn't ricing up to give it some sort of performance enhancement that doesn't really enhance anything?

Well I know why some of you don't like it. as my wife does not like it too she also has a nexus and she likes the feel of 'naked phone' if i may say .
My only problem with cases is that if i use them then my desk-dock becomes useless. plus i dont like always to be super careful about keeping my phone anywhere and scratch it.

you know what, it looks pretty good but the only problem is the weave is too large. maybe get a smaller weave vinyl.
care to share the stencil?

Sell me your desk dock.. Please please please please!!

FYI you guys can get overstock Carbon fiber sheets and m3 adhesive strips like used above from a guy named racingjeff on ebay. What this stuff is microthin carbonfiber with m3 adhesive on the back. They use it to make the CF dash boards in teh bling bling honda's you see on the road. I've deal with Jeff for years buying real overstock 3mm CF sheets. Guys a really good guy.

Personally I don't think it looks bad at all. I wouldn't do an entire phone in carbon fiber but it looks nice enough to me.
I'm going to cover my HD2 battery door using the same carbon fiber sheet. I'm also considering buying a couple of battery doors from ebay and experiment a little. I want to polish one battery door to a "mirrior finish" and I want to try painting one using Krylon just to see how it will come out.
I've painted all sorts of crap like Blackberry housings, golf clubs, furniture and I have the technique and prep work down to a science so we'll see how it goes and I'll make sure to post pics when complete.
I applaud dude for having the balls to experiment!

/10chars

I like it but the CF grids are a little large. I would like a tighter patterns. Heres the guy I use. Granted its not going to be $8 because its real CF.
http://shop.ebay.com/racingjeff/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25
Email him and tell him what your planning to do, he's super cool and will send out samples and all his stuff is the real deal, not look alike CF.

Is there a ay you help me out, on how to make the vinyl go so nicely around the corners? specially on the curvy parts... ive tried b4 with other vinals, and i cant get it to go nice on the curves, i always get extra stuff

Do not Buy Xentris Snap on Case for Epic

I bought the case the same day I got my phone. I removed the case today to remove dust from under the case and notices that the sides of my Epic were scratched by the case

Thank you for the tip. Have you gotten a replacement for it yet?

Not yet. I sent Xentris an email but they haven't replied yet. I'm sure if I complained to Best Buy about it they'd give me a new phone but I don't know if I will. I wish they made a case that was lined with silicone on the inside for the Epic.

This seems to be a common problem for the Epic hard cases. I'm not a fan of hard cases just because of the bulk, but it's good to know they are messing them up.

I'm not a fan of hard cases either, I prefer silicone cases, but since the Epic is a sliding phone all we get are hard cases

cant stand hard cases either....for now until i find the right case (i swear its taking longer to find that than my last car). All im using for now is a bag that i got with a pair of oakleys from sunglass hut. scratch protection....better than nothing. every other type of potential hazzard.....its a nightmare!

do they make a case that does not allow the phone to slide? may sound terribly stupid, but my gf does not really need the physical keyboard...
just curious.
flame on

I tried the Verizon gel case at Best Buy, not great, because I don't want the slider either.
Next stop is cheap kiosk at mall, the Verizon phone has same rounded corner
and shape, just thinner, so something might be workable.

different camera placement though
i had the red case way too hard to remove so i returned it and am getting a phantomzkinz instead

I had the same problem with the one sold buy Best Buy (Sedio) and I just ordered a Phantomskinz.

Just wanted to post an update, Xentris never replied to my email.

Xentris Snap on cover for Epic 3G
I was in love with this case-that is until the matte paint started peeling after only 30 days. It will do until it bugs me so bad I have to fork out the cash for a Seidio case. Don't bother. I guess it was better than carrying it out without protection but stay away from it-it's cheap crap

I emailed them-lets see where it gets me

While on ebay I saw this. I haven't seen any reviews of it though.

Yeah i have the best buy case also (think its the xnetris), and its a total POS. rubber is all peeling off and the front snap on part has scratched the phone. pretty pissed...

It's a fugly piece of crap, don't buy it. Thanks to Viper786 there is a review and pictures here.

I had the $20 hard case that sprint sells on mine for like 2 months.. recently took it off to notice the marks on my epic.. i got the case to keep it mint and it essentially left a etching around my phone. I thought about yelling at sprint but not sure if they would replace or send off for repair... I also didnt buy the insurance and its been over 30days so wasn't sure how that would all pan out. Might head up there tomorrow and see what they say.

That blows. I bought that case today and I actually really like it. Not too bulky and has a nice grip. I also like the rubbery weave on the back. Now reading this makes me concerned. It seems like it is designed the same way as Seidio cases and I never had that issue with them. I may return it for Seidio then. Bummer.

yeah i liked it for the same reason and liked it up to a week ago whe i took it off.. i figured it was just me with a random issue.. i.e sand in pocked from fishing over the summer or something... i still like it but kinda like the feel with it off too.. i'll live with it either way... but if they replace it i might look into some sort of silicone hugger or vinyl wrap.

well amazon does have the xmatrix case for epic 4g and the build quality is the best i have seen for the epic...there is no interference or friction from the keyboard ...plus it has two layers like the otterbox cases one silicone and one soft touch plastic....based on the quality of this case, they could be charging otterbox prices and this would still be a good deal....stay tuned, i will be creating a new post with pics in a few minutes

Anyone bought one of these?

Has anyone bought of these covers ?

If yes, do they fit well on the phone ? and do they protect it well ?

no but nice!!!

i send them a message and asked what it was made of, and they said plastic and aluminium.
I think i'll buy one.... or 2

Wow looking nice, better than the cases i have at the moment.

May interfere with GPS signal?

the antenna is in the bottom section of the phone, so i'd think that having a metal back wouldn't make a difference.
I think i'm gonna buy one, so i'll tell everyone how it is once it arrives

I think the GPS antenna is by the flash unit, so the case may interfere with the signal.

I've already got a silicone case, and i've ordered 2 of the cases i linked to.
Thanks anyway though, i might get one of those sometime in the future.
i'm always changing the case im using so having more than one isn't a problem.
Also are there any videos of that case in action ?

save your money - i bought a black one and it was rubbish
getting it on was very stiff, you had to push the on button on the top much harder than normal and after a few days the aluminium unstuck from the plastic and i thre the whole lot away...

You're talking about the aluminium one right? I bought the silicone one, seems better

My Desire HD arrives in the morning, so I've just ordered a 99p silicone jobby off ebay - really not expecting much for 99p, but it should keep it nice while I do some research into the perfect case!!
I've had a hero and it's had a silicone case on it for the last 18 months - it looks pretty much like new. So who knows, maybe 99p will be enough of an investment!

The 99p/$1AUD aren't really that bad.

i have a silicon case for mine and use it when im at work, remember the phone is an aluminium shell and a screen so its pretty well protected, i use a case to protect from scratching my pretty chocolate coloured phone

Just testing it, I dropped it from about two feet and it just bounced. It has the nice little lip aound the front that protects the screen.
It also Recesses the camera lense.

Does it make the phone thick and bulky?

It doesn't look much thicker than a standard TPU case. So I would say you're still going to be pretty slim.

Nope. It actually hardly adds to it. Plus the phone feels less fragile. I really like it. I may buy the white one too.

when you lay it camera side down does the camera hit the table or whatever you are lying it on ?
