I'm looking for a hard case for the n1. I would like to find the thinnest case possible so that it doesn't add bulk. Ive seen a couple for the iphone that ive liked, but I haven't really seen much for the n1. Any suggestions?
Yeah open your eyes..
I guess I should mention.... I found a few, but they all suck. Some are argyle, some have flowers printed on them, and a lot of them, have a raised square in the back. I'm guessing for a belt clip. None of these are all that appealing to me.
Well, that wasn't helpfull.
The best I found is the Crystal Case: http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/Google-Phone-Nexus-1-Vinyl-Crystal-Skin-Case/4582739/product.html?cid=123620&fp=F&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=12517446
that square thing annoys me as well.
I just ordered off of ebay:

I will see what it looks like.

Yes that would change things drastically.
I got the TPU arguile one and its nice does a very good job of protection..
Just ordered http://cgi.ebay.com/5-EPIK-Case-Fro...Accessories?hash=item45f0974fb8#ht_3736wt_820 as well figured for 20 me and my girl could have a bunch of different colors if you are looking for a hard plastic I would say wait it out another week or 2 and seidios should be ready http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr3hnx1-bk.htm
They probably make the best hardcase I have ever seen.
I'm waiting on Seidio...these cases have always been quality thin protection for me!
does Seidio make gel cases too?

Don't think so, but you can check here: http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/4025.htm
just put this on this morning, super tight snug fit
http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=39711
I ran across a hard case that was slim and would also fit into the existing sleeve but lost the website. I know its probably a bit OCD but thought it would be nice to have the extra added. Been looking for it all over but can't seem to find it again! Anyone run across this?

I've had good luck with Seidio, so I'm stickin' with them.
Just ordered this (Innocase II and Holster combo pack)
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd2-hlcsr3hnx1-bk.htm
Ships on the 1st. :-D
Purchased a hard case:

Purchased a gel case:
http://cgi.ebay.com/SMOKE-BK-CHECK-...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item414c2ff716
Both are a great & tight fit. Both are quality cases.
The clear hard case is perfect for those situations where you need hard protection. Most of the time, I'm using the gel case, as I like the feel with the N1.
Try contacting....

&
www.iskin.com
i have owned both their products before on my blackberries..
and they are legit and protect fine.
i have sent emails to both of them and they said if there is demand for them they will make them.

It's a catch 22 waiting for the demand. When the demand hit, they'll have to do all of the design/distribution legwork. By that time, there'll already be many other options.

I concur. I bought a black and a clear smoke off ebay and both fit nicely and the phone still fits in my existing case. Only issue would be if you get the new desktop dock for the phone, as these cases don't expose the contacts.
Like some of the other members I bought the "gel" case from ebay:
It's pretty thin and seems to be very durable and fits great on the N1. As stated in the above post, the case does block 2 of the 3 (the 2 on the left side of the USB port) contact points on the bottom of the device.
Just found this, http://www.case-mate.com/Google-Cases/Case-Mate-Google-Nexus-One-Tough.asp
Anyone order or going to order. Im thinking about it, don't know yet.
I'd be willing to try that one once it shows up on eBay for $4.
$30!? It's pretty thick, too.
i would order this in a heart beat if there were other colors... pink = no, thanks.. and black/black is too plain black/gray.. or black/white... would be nice
from what it looks like, i think it is the best designed and made n1 case made up to date
It's a bit thick, but I actually like it. It's very reminiscent of the Switcheasy cases for iPhones. It's nice seeing a spike in the quality of these cases for our phones. It's between this and the Innocase II now..

It's decent, but it doesn't look like it offers much protection.

true... atleast not to the top, bottom, and screen
i think it is mostly about look ( seido i mean )
Anyone else find that these rubber cases just get grit caught in them, causing your phone to get scratched up more than it would otherwise? At least with a hard case, any grit that gets in isn't being rubbed back and forth over your phone - it's probably relatively static.
Or maybe it's just me...
Oh looks like they have another case.
http://www.case-mate.com/Google-Cases/Case-Mate-Google-Nexus-One-Vroom.asp
finally someone is starting to produce some high quality cases! that or the other companies are still in the development stage... either way, im waiting for a review of this before i get one,
oh wow, those both look really nice...
i think i like the 'vroom' better due to the fact that it's thinner. plus i'm a car guy so the tread design is kinda sweet...
they also have the gelli case here: http://www.case-mate.com/Google-Cases/Case-Mate-Google-Nexus-One-Gelli-Case.asp
it looks like the epik case i bought off of ebay though...probably a bit better quality...
That vroom case looks like it would completely block the proximity sensor, light sensor, and charging led.
Hello xda...thought I'd make an account since I lurk here so often.
I just ordered the gelli case, it's exactly what I've been looking for. Not the sticky generic rubber that attracts hair, and not the hard case that is IMO ugly and lacks a good texture. It get's a little tiring pulling your nexus in and out of it's sleeve, as cool as it is. I'll have to post back when my case comes.

I noticed that too, I ordered one yesterday though. I'll post weather or not it's actually like that once I get it...
I got the geli case from case-mate.
I really like it. I ended up getting the smoke color.
It's low profile so it will still fit in the stock sleeve.
it's grippy but not overly so.
The cutouts are perfect.
The included screen protector is pretty decent.
I'll post some pics soon.
Anyone have any photos of the case-mate cases? I'm definitely ordering one from the, just don't know which one.
does the geli case attract lint like the rubber cases do?
ordered the vroom a day or two ago, will get pictures up once it arrives
Hey all,
ive been trying some of the best cases out there for my SGS including PDair, Case-Mate Though, TPU, SGP and some other cheap onens..
(the SGP one actually claims to be an anti slip material but got nothing to support it..)
Some of them have a great design, othere are very protective but non have the feature im realy looking for which is what called 'Anti-Slip'. most of my IPod cases for example had that ability in them. a simple silicone that that helps your device not slip from your hands.
Does anyone knows about any silicone case that have this?
Thanks!
Have you ever tried gel type cases - they feel like rubber and very grippy

Thanks for your reply.
I saw it before on some IPhones and didnt like its touch feeling very much. also, i think its too hard to provide a good protection..
btw, please also forgive me for any wrong word selection, english is not my mother lang
Hi there...
Did you already saw this one??
Samsung Galaxy S Commuter Series Case from OTTERBOX
Do a search on Youtube to see review...
I can't post any links yet...
I have one just like this
http://cgi.ebay.com/Samsung-Vibrant-Galaxy-S-I9000-Genuin-Mesh-Case-Red-/320605390228
Surf around and you might find a slightly better deal, but make sure its that same one. It has a very rubbery feel which doesnt slip at ALL, i loved it. Only thing is that it doesnt offer much protection from falls.
the cheapest safest option is to just put some industrial tape around your hand and stick your phone to it
this way your phone will never slip and is always in your hand.... you dont need to waste time searching your pockets ..
but the only downside i have is i have to wipe my rear with my left hand now

Seriously?! What do you do to have such slippery hands? On second thought, don't answer that
I have a Case-Mate Tough Case and that's not only "rubbery", but also very structured giving a VERY good grip. In fact, I had problems getting it in and out of my pocket, which annoyed me so much I gave it up.
If the Case-Mate Tough wasn't grippy enough, superglue is the only option (or duct tape if you're going for the not-so-permanent option)
Go get some skateboard Grit Tape. Guaranteed non slip...
I really want a Ringke case but that cut out really urks me. I know why they have it and I know most of them have it. Any good cases without it that are like ringke or at least in the same price range?
The G2x Bodyglove Grasp case is really really nice. They used to have em at walmart (mentioning that makes it seem like a cheap case, but ignore that because it isnt), but they seem to have stopped carrying recently.
Try looking for it online

Found it on ebay, this is not my listing so yeah: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BODY-GLOVE-..._Accessories&hash=item3cbd888610#ht_500wt_717

Is it snap on or one piece case?
One piece tpu case with textured backing for grip
Ehh.. I had bad experiences with tpu, I ordered the ringke
Bad move in my opinion, this case is very very good.
Good luck with yours, hope you dont drop your phone on it's corner.

I can always return it, its not a big deal. I couldn't find much on the case on the web and YouTube. What material is it and does it collect dust and are the power and volume buttons still responsive with it on? All the TPU cases I tried they were hard for me to use the buttons.
It's hard to explain, but the buttons are made with another material so it's very comfortable to push the buttons. It feels better than without a case actually. Ill see if i can take a picture for you

I bought this case the day I bought my phone, about two months ago. It's literally the best case I've had for any device. It isn't a hard case so it feels flexible in the hand. But it isn't a gel case, either, and feels sturdy enough to withstand. I recommend this case for sure. 9/10.

It's a weird polymer material. I've never felt another case like this one. The buttons are as easy to press as the phone naked. If its like $7 as the link said, I'd pick it up. I spent $14 on mine at WalMart and would gladly do it again.
hmm...I just ordered like 2 other $2-3 ones from ebay to test them out (literally yesterday or the day before - haven't even gotten them yet), but as soon as I saw this thread and the pictures, I bought it. lol
Cool :] Hopefully you like it as much as I do
I just got a Seidio Surface case from Amazon and it's by far the best case I have had for the G2x so far. I have a Trident Aegis case, which to me adds way too much bulk, but this one actually makes it nice to hold.

That is a nice looking case, is it soft plastic?
Yeah that case looks nice. I like the ringke case, I have come to just accept the corner cut out, still urks me but I'm over it. Its probably the best case I have owned, but with that said, it still has flaws. The sides are loose, and I'm really glad the case doesn't collect dust and lint but the camera lens which is exposed collects A LOT. as well as the corners of the screen

It is the same "soft touch" as the battery door, but over the entire case, and is lined with felt.

Ignore my ignorance but, why are the corners cut out on all the cases?
because theyre made for the O2X and the antenna for that phone is where the cutout is
Here are a few pics of the case I just got (At the mall) I'm not sure what brand but it fits nice and makes my phone feel better, at least to me. This was an O2x case (Corner cut out) but I don't think it looks bad.
Questions in the title, here are the cases: http://www.ebay.com/itm/5x-Soft-Cry...583540?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item35b3aad334. They look pretty good and the seller has got very good feedback, what do you guys think? I mean, there isn't that much you could do wrong with gel cases (I mean in terms of manufacturing ...), right? So has anyone tried these out or any similar ones and wants to share his thoughts?
Thanks in advance
I bought one just like theese cases, but never delivered to me.
The 'soft crystal', or TPU, cases are great. I usually buy mine from amazon or ebay. Optimus V and S cases are the same. Make sure that you get one that has all the proper cut-outs (the ebay link above doesn't have the hole for the speaker next to the camera).
this is better
AMZER TPU
I have those. Cheap and sturdy. Good everyday use. I also use a leather case whenever I'm in the office.
They look cool, i own one ;D

I have heard issues about some of these gel cases leaving residue on the phone and rubbing the paint off. Some of these issues have been brought up in other threads so just make sure you do your research before you select your case!
They look kinda cheap imo...
I'm sure they work well.
5 for $8? must be pretty cheap.
My boyfriend had a tpu case for his v. I loved it compared to my silicone case. It's alot sturdier than silicone, mine ripped easy. He had a problem with the phone overheating while the case was on though, but he worked outside and I think that was the main issue there. It's a great alternative to silicone and plastic cases which tear or break easily.

I have a robber one and works just fine... quite ugly tough
I have the same case and it's only OK...makes the phone thick and it's not very soft.
And dang, I paid 3.50$ for it
Also if you keep the phone in your pocket, while taking it out the case usually slips off and over time loses shape
try Amazer
http://rootedoptimus.blogspot.com/2012/02/amazer-lg-accessories_25.html
try Amazer I am currently using theirs, it perfectly fits and even cool
I ordered one last week
I usually prefer the hard cases aside from the gel ones. But those ones look pretty good for what you want.
Sent from DeadiKation's Optimus T. -RazrUI-
Or you can use no case, just be careful (or don't, my lg felt like 10 times and it has only 2 scratches)
I also bought one of these.
Cheap and quite good as well.
But not as good as Amzer though.
thumbs up
these are good but i use amzer
