I was wondering if anyone knows if there are any cases like this available yet or if anybody is making a case like this? My friend has some cases like this for his Iphone and they are reall good at protecting the phone.

Those are cool. I'd like to see something for the N1 that made by Speck, like these:
http://www.speckproducts.com/products/candyshell/iphone-3g-iphone-3gs/162
Had one for my iPhone 3G and it was PERFECT.
Best iPhone case I used was the incase slider - wish there were cases like that for the N1. Seidio Innocase II is somewhat similar, but the cutouts could be a bit better. Also, quite expensive trying to buy the case and getting it delivered to Aus.
Nice looking cases in the links...we definately need more case selections than just Seidio!
I've e-mailed both companies, Switcheasy said they are only doing Apple products right now but who knows what the future will hold, and case mate hasnt gotten back to me yet. Hopefully one of them starts or maybe a different company will.
I think I recall reading in another thread that Case-mate are going to start manufacturing Naked cases. They already have Clear Armour for the N1.
I emailed Speck and they said to basically monitor the website for new products.
It was a canned response. :-(

I'm not sure about everyone's preference here to what cases they enjoy, but I have been emailing http://www.speckproducts.com/products/by_device about them making a case for the Nexus One. They have some really nice fitted cases for iPhones and Blackberrys and would love to get one on my N1.
Anyone else interested can submit a request as I did.

I just noticed this is in general section. Can a moderator move this to accessories please. Sorry

Hi,
I would say without a doubt Vaja are the best makers of phone cases in the world. They allow you to customise your choice of case & hand make to order.
The best famous case they make is the Iphone Ivolution cases.
I have opened a thread previously in accessories section requesting people to contact vaja via the Vaja home page to make a Ivolution case for the Nexus One.
If you search on the net "Iphone Ivolution" you will know what I am talking about.
At the moment I have settled with using a Sena Ultraslim Brown pouch.
Here is a few more good companies that make cases.
www.Noreve.com
www.Pdair.com
www.senacases.com
www.Vajacases.com
Thanks
JAW$
I've owned vaja cases for my ex n95 8gb. I really like the look of the speck products. I wwas hoping more people would see them and ask if they would make one for the N1. I dont think they would unless there is a demand for it. But thank for your suggestions

I would love a Speck case. On my wife's iPhone, we use the hard shell case (silicone inside, hard shell outside) and my toddler BEATS it up. She throws it down the steps and practically everywhere else and the phone still looks brand new (been about a year with same case).

Hanging out for a good rubber case or something for it though.

Here's hoping, I think there's an opportunity here for someone.
I need water proof case ....for i9000
Don't get the pull up case. I got one myself a few days ago and it does not fit well. The insides feel rough and it felt like it could scratch the phone at any time.
http://imgur.com/8JV3U.jpg
The top bit wouldn't fit in.
What I'm waiting for is the OtterBox
I've had an OtterBox Defender for my iPhone for over a year, and after the number of times I've dropped my phone only to have it saved, it's the only case I'll use.
Unfortunately, Otter hasn't created one yet. I sent in a request, and they're looking at building one, but don't have one yet.
silicon and leather case.. etc..
..found this link from a forum.. korean website..
..you can try searching the gmarket website.. korean version.
..they have like Zenus Softcase for the GS and alot more.
The Zenus cases look really nice, but it's a bit expensive, and Gmarket always costs a lot to ship internationally.

The orange and black case looks amazing!!
Maybe not realy case related, but also protection..
I've mailed gelaskins and uniqueskins to inquire if they will be producing a skin for the Galaxy S soon.. Gelaskin is putting it up for consideration, uniqueskins however does not respond to any mail i send them, very rude! (despite the've read them, according to the read reports).
I would like to use a skin to protect the plastic cover. However the cover was not as flumsy as most reviews lead me to believe..
case looks awesome how do I order one?? I've been trying to battle through the zenus website (using chrome korean translation as the english version doesn't work) but not getting anywhere...
I absolutely detest cases of any kind as they add extra bulk to an already fairly large device. What I prefer are skins like the ones from gelaskins.com.
some people like case some dont, as for me i want to put some weight on the S its too light, also i dont wanna scratch the back of the phone,
i want that ZEnus case, but like the above guy no idea how to buy from the site, nothing on ebay too...
I am able to purchase from Gmarket as I have used Gmarket before.
Would anyone be interested in me bulk buying some and me sending them to you? The reason is that Gmarket uses a very expensive delivery services, and anything up to 0.5kg is roughly 12 dollars. These cases weigh 0.1kg each so I am able to buy up to 5 of them and still pay 12 dollars delivery.
Edit: Nevermind, I just checked the actual item weights. It's the silicone case that weighs 0.1kg each.
Silicone case: £9.76 (weighs 0.1kg)
http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=189041207
Leather case: £19.50 for white or black case, £20.64 for the double coloured cases. (weighs 0.5kg)
http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challe...1&pos_class_kind=T&keyword_order=zenus+galaxy
Though the delivery is still cheaper if I bulk buy, if anyone would be still interested then tell me.
seidio
Anyone contacted seidio if they will be making like custom casing, battery, etc for the internation version of GS?
..just curious.. hehehe

is that a kickstand i see on the white case? Looks very nice if it is.....
Not sure, it may just be part of the design, but it would certainly be very nice if it was a kickstand.
you can see it better upclose here....looks rubberish to me and unlikely to be a kick stand 2nd image from the bottom...
http://korucis.com/min/zenus/imgs/GA-eco.jpg
failing that i may try to find some plastic material to attach to the back of a case but unsure what to search for? swivel plastic piece? lol.
Check out the seidio website ill be getting one of those. Was looking for a case that covers the volume rocker and etc.

I'm definitely interested in this case, but after previously dealing with Seidio, I'm not sure if its gonna be worth it!
If the clips are designed differently from the Innocase, I might consider one, but if they are the same, I will wait for OtterBox to make something nice.
Wow, that actually looks pretty good, and they sell the case/belt clip combo for 49.99. Look at the picture of the area of the case that goes near the microphone, it looks really ill-cut..hopefully it will be more refined when they are released!
yep, i have it in my seidio wish list cart, and have even emailed them to hurry up last week. Looks like the best case i can find. Although if otterbox decides to make one, i might regret this purchase. But otterbox doesnt make many cases for sliders. Hopefully this one.

Otter will release a case for this phone I would imagine they did for the moment.

This is not true! Otterbox makes many sliding phone cases, including cases for the Droid, Droid 2, Palm Pre, Samsung Moment, etc. They make the Commuter case, which is more or less like the Seidio Active case.
But people, I recommend waiting until Amazon has the Active cases in stock.
I bought the Seidio Innocase for $29.99 from Seidio, and a week later, Amazon had the exact same case for $23 with FREE 2 day shipping. :\

i meant in comparison to seidio, they make fewer slider cases. Sedio does almost any phone, otterbox... just the hot ones.
Seidio Innocase Rugged
I received a survey from Seidio developers yesterday asking me if I would be interested in buying an Innocase Rugged even if they weren't able to make it fit with the sliding keyboard feature. I responded saying that the Sprint Epic 4g was the only phone in the Galaxy S line in this country that had a keyboard and that it is one of the main reasons anyone would buy a Galaxy S phone from Sprint versus any other carrier. I recommended that if they can't build it so that we're able to open our sliding keyboard then they should just focus on making a huge extended battery for us instead
The only issue i have is that they need to make good tabs especially for the bezel. When i first got the official sprint case with the grip on the back i loved it but the tabs broke the second time i took it off. I recently got a replacement and the tabs are perfect. The only issue i have with all these cases is that the bezel is always some plastic round crap. I have a great idea that would help out for a rugged seidio case and prevents the thick bezel to influence the keyboard. If you just look at the cases available for epic and think really hard you can get a game changer for slider phone case. But companies stay generic so eeehhhh.
Id prefer themmaking it easier to remove
sent from my epic 4g with no 4g
I don't know if anyone has seen this, but the active x case is now available in black only.

Good to know! What's the difference between this and the Innocase? Is this more durable?
The Active cases are similar to the Otterbox Commuter or Casemate Tough.
A rubber skin with plastic shell outside. I'm considering the blue active once they show up on amazon.
I'm wary of Seidios quality though because the active case my friend got for her Evo has been shedding since she got it. The active case plastic shell seems to break easily at the corner apparently also.
posted from a EPIC4G.
Yeah between the Evo innocases damaging the phone, and the Epic innocases not fitting properly, I'm expecting to be unpleasantly surprised =\
BUT that's why Amazon is the best, its so easy to return stuff =]
I have been using this case for almost a week now and i must say at first it felt bulky, and Yes thats coming from someone with a Note 4. Also its hard to use the Hear Rate monitor but it does work, just needs a little playing around with. In all I got use to the size of the case and now don't even notice it. Its got an awesome design, the Protection i want and is in my budget. Cost only $17 USD which is not bad at all. The case also features a kickstand which I think I already broke... its still works though. You can watch my review on it below if you like.
UPDATE: Its been a week and the case has grown on me but now I seen something else that makes me feel like the Tough Armour is not the best there is.

Hi, I just got my Note 4 and am searching for "the best case" Untill now I was thinking about buying the tough armor..... then I saw your post! What does make you feel this wouldn't be the beste case there is. Is there anything bad about it that you have experienced? I haven't seen the case in real yet, since there is no store in Germany where we can buy it.... we can just order it online and the cheapest price is $27,50 (converted). So about $10 more than in the US. Which case would you recommend more than that?
Appreciate any info. Cheers!
its not too bad, but the flush buttons are SUPER annoying
I have this case. I'm still getting used to the buttons, but I love it in general. The only thing missing IMO would be a holster clip that fit this case with the glass facing inwards. I probably wouldn't even use it for the holster part so much as keeping this badboy sealed up tight when I'm not using it.
Spigen kickstands are a joke, cheap pieces of crap that fall off way too easily. Case might be fine but why include a POS flimsy kickstand?
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk
I switched from this to the Otterbox Symmetry. The otter just seems more protective for some reason.
I just picked up this case. Like it. Sure seems like it will protect the phone for sure. The flush buttons are good for design, but can be tough to find sometimes if you're not looking too close. Fits nice though. I tried an S View case as well as an LED Flip Wallet and hated flipping the front over and behind to use the phone. Like this much better overall.
Has anyone tried the Stalion cases? This one has 4.8 out of 5 stars, which is almost suspiciously high for a brand I've never heard of and has never been mentioned here:
http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Case-Shockproof-Resistance-Protection/dp/B00V9QGFJO/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8
Thanks
I have tried that case. It's really good. It's a lot like the similar model from Spigen. Here's a link to my review with some pics: http://www.amazon.com/review/R54CURJ07D1UQ/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm
Stalion makes lots of different things. They're all kind of knock-offs, but fairly decent quality knock-offs.
So many 5-star reviews for that case and so little written about it outside of Amazon, though... Kind of makes me suspicious.
I see you've reviewed a million things, all with 4- or 5-star scores: http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A2LIWJ0XZF0EO1/ref=cm_cr_rdp_pdp
Not saying that's bad, maybe you've been very lucky! But it still makes me a bit uneasy.
It looks very similar to this case that I use daily (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UXQEPIO). I like it more than my Spigen Ultra Hybrid which it is very similar to. Only bad thing is that the clear TPU edge is turning slight yellow from the Sun.
Just my two cents, I purchased a poetic case, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WASKRKS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00 , 4.6 out of 5 stars. Received it and was not happy with it. But I am not a fan of the flip cases. It advertises you can answer calls without opening the case, which is true, but you have to press really hard for the screen to read your input. Not worth the $10 price tag. Here is the link to my amazon review http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-r.../ref=cm_cr_pr_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00WASKRKS I said all that to say this, when purchasing something to protect a $600+ device, go ahead and go with a brand you know and trust or one that has a good reputation. I wouldn't stray too far from that.
I hadn't heard of them either until recently. I'm part of a "deal club" that offers discounted prices for "honest" reviews of the items. I've ordered 3 cases from them; a belt/clip holster combo for the Note 5, the Note 5 version of the case you listed, and last night I ordered their S6 Edge battery case.
Honest opinion about the two that I do have (the clear one and belt holster combo); for the price I paid ($1-2 each) you can't go wrong. The "Secure Holster Shell & Belt Clip Kickstand Combo" one, fits well, nice and snug. The only issue I had with it was the little kickstand on the case, wiggles in place. It locks well but it moves in it's slot while closed.
The clear case, however, doesn't have a hole for the microphone on the bottom of the phone (the main microphone). It took me a few seconds to realize what was going on after I called someone and twice they couldn't hear me. I looked at the bottom of the phone and sure enough, there is no cut out for the microphone. I emailed the company to see what their response is but that was just yesterday. Besides that major issue, the case fits pretty damn good. It doesn't add much bulk and it has the right amount of stickiness to prevent slipping from your hands. In Stalion's defense, I had the same issue with a Verus case I ordered for my LG G4.
The reason you're seeing a bunch of reviews for them is that they are trying to get their name out by offering discounts so people would review them. Since they haven't responded to my message regarding the microphone hole oversight, I haven't posted my review. I'm hoping it was just a bad batch as no other reviews make any mention of the microphone hole.
As far as the battery case I ordered for the S6 edge, I won't receive it till Thursday so I can't provide any insight. I may not even have a chance to use it as I'm trying to sell my S6 Edge (I already have a Note 5)
Hope that helps
Thanks meccanikal, that's pretty helpful
