Hey everybody I'm pretty sure some of you have already seen these websites but just in case you haven't here are three websites that have and are still making sweet Nexus One cases. I'm getting the chrome one from Case-mate and Black from Ultra-case.

I would but the 3 websites I added have unique cases and the ones from Cimo are the same ones you can find all over the internet. If you look at these websites you will notice they all share some of the same cases with Cimo. Example Websites: http://www.googlenexusoneaccessories.com/cases.html

You can actually get the same cases sold at Ultra Cases off of eBay for much cheaper. I got one of these for 10 bucks with a generic screen protector.

Yeah I know but since they are adding one of their iPhone type cases to the Nexus One about every two weeks I think later on they will have one of the best selections of snap on cases in the future.
the black case is very intriguing but the pictures suck at showing how it covers the phone, post pictures when you get it????

I'm still waiting for it but when I get I'll take some pictures. Also I should be getting a chrome one from Case-mate this week, I'll post pics of that one to.
I got the ultra-case - The One yesterday. It fits the phone well, but does cover the dock pins even though they say it does not. Oh well, it prolly would not fit in a dock with the case anyhow.
I did not know what I was going to do for case/skin, etc so I bought this case, and a BSE skin. I will definitely be using the skin over the case.
Case feel like a cheap hard rubber case that can be bought for iphones for $3 all day long.. I was dissapointed to say the least. I guess I'll just have to wait for otterbox to kick out their cases for these phones.
I'm sending the case back and applying my BSE skin now...

I bought the Case-Mate Barely There case for my Nexus One. Just came in today. If anyone is familiar with the Incipio Feathercase for the iPhone, this case very similar to that one. Good protection without the added bulk of most cases. Still small enough to fit in one of those belt holster deals.

Yeah I got it, its kind of hard to take a picture since its chrome. I will tell you this the chrome snap-on case from Case-mate is feels way better than the Black by Ultra-case. The black one feels some what loose like it might come off, I can definitely recommend buying the chrome one it looks sweet and has a perfect fit. When it comes to shipping I paid Ultra-case $19.99 for 2-4day delivery from Hong Kong to the U.S., well it took 21days that is their $2.00 delivery option so I had to email them and get my $18 back, I first ordered on March 3rd and they said I would be refunded but I'm still waiting for it to show up on my credit card. With Case-mate I payed $5.92 for 2-4day delivery and I received it in 4 days.

They are the same and you can find them for $5 if you look harder on ebay, I have bought 3 for $12 before for my Mytouch 3G. The only thing that is unique about Ultra-cases.com is thier snap-on cases because hardly anybody makes them for the Nexus One mosts of these type of cases are for the iPhone, I still think the chrome one from Case-mate is better. Check these out:

I just received that Seidio Holster case, it works great. I didn't want to get one of the other cases since they cover up the engraving I had done. Bravo Seidio!
I bought this case from Incipio and it is pure crap just like the one from Ultracase here are the cases I am talking about:
http://www.myincipio.com/product/GGL_NEXUS_ONE_HT-143/Metallic-Lava-G
http://www.ultra-case.com/product.php?pID=449
The Case-mate: Google Nexus One Barely There is far superior to those piece of crap cases.
Just in case anyone is still looking for cases for the Nexus this thread has good websites.

Well actually i did see your post, but you were looking for one specifically with a belt loop, I just want one either without or a detatchable belt loop. Also the conclusion you came to was that krusell were the best, but I think they're as ugly as f**k.
I'm looking specifically for a high quality leather flip case.
I have the Norêve one. Best purchase ever... These things are unbreakable, I have one for my old N900 and it never failed me.
I bought a fortte one.. still haven't gotten it yet though (damn they take long!). I got the belt holster one, but they have a bunch of different models (http://www.fortte.com)
I bought the iphone 3gs leather pouch from noreve when I got my nexus one. I made a thread that had some suggestions for cases I'll post the link when I get a chance.

Sena Cases: http://www.senacases.com/google/htc-google-nexus-one-cases/
I had the Sena Ultra Slim and its a good thin leather case but out of the three I would say to get the Noreve iPhone pouch.
+1 for Vaja. TOTALLY worth the money and little wait to get it made. It's handmade from Argentina I think. I have had Vaja cases since my PDA days where I had a Sony Clie N70 that used the ivolution cases. Still looks brand new to this day. The Clie still rocks bejeweled too! LOL I moved on to Sony Ericsson phones and had Vaja cases for each one of them since my SonyEricsson T28. I cannot say enough about them, however, this case from Vaja is the only version they have besides the "universal" version. Kinda bummed and a few of us had been in email contact to see if they would make a flip pouch as well, but like others, I received emails saying that they will not make another case to fit the Nexus.
Oh well. I have a fleabay leather case with a belt clip. Very generic, cost 10 bux and protects the corners well. Magnetic clasp as well. Fits the phone pretty snug too.
I love my Krussell 95462 (Hector, Large) case. It's great. Belt loops to keep it in place, replaced the springy clip with their low profile clip, and used an older phone to reshape the case overnight each day.. Fits the N1 perfect now with my slim case on, looks great, feels great..

Do you have a link and price for the HTC case? I checked the HTC store and could not find it.
Thanks
Actually I got it from HTCpedia.com, so I guess it may not be officially OEM lol....I guess shopping late = Fail
Here's the linky
http://shop.htcpedia.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=234
Got the HTC case today and according to the packaging, it looks OEM. Nice soft touch, not leather though, almost suede like. It has elastic on its sides to keep it in place and not shoot out. Held down by velcro. This will be a business case for me and my other one I'll use for the weekends. I can put that other one in my jeans pocket no problem.
Pics...
This is the case I want. I see it's listed at this site. I'm not familiar with them, does anyone know if they are reputable?

i wouldn't go for case-mate for the charge. this item is not on their website so who knows if this is even a case-mate case. Case-mate is pretty reputable but since this isn't on their website I would stay away.

I used the barely there for over a year on my EVO and never a problem. I dropped it a couple times. I believe these hard shells give the corners/back/body more strength withour adding bulk. These things are already plenty big IMO. With the gorilla glass I dont think there is any need for screen protection. IMHO
I did order the one off Ebay, but that Incipio looks pretty sweet too. I'll let you know how it works out in 7-10 days
I probably would have given the Case Mate case a try if I had seen it when I ordered my Incipio Silicrylic case, but I like the styling of the Incipio so we will see how that one works out for me in a few days, but it is good to see that there might be a Barely There case available for the Charge which is a good thing.
Those could possibly be real. I would wait either way. Do not go for the Incipo feather, it is horrible. I liked it for my Atrix but the deign they did for the Charge is horrible.
case-mate and barely there
I've seen the case-mate barely there cases on ebay even before they were released on the official site. As of this writing case-mate does have the barely there cases in stock (at least when I check). It comes in two colors black and pink.
As for the alternatives I bought the Incipio case only because I couldn't resist that thin red profile. But I made the purchase knowing full well what I was getting into--if you are looking for actual protection follow the advice of the previous posters and look elsewhere. It's also worth mentioning that the case-mate version is a complete piece in terms of surrounding the phone--the Incipio has a break on the left side for the charger port and destroys the aesthetic for a lot of people.
On a side note, some ebay sellers seem to be selling the case-mate tough line. I would never personally order anything from ebay without having seen it in stock on the official website. But ebay had the barely there cases even before case-mate's site had it in stock. They did have a preview of the product however, you just couldn't order it. If the tough cases are showing up on ebay it's probably safe to assume that they will be offering it quite soon officially. Even amazon has an official pre-order for the item but their time frame is 1-3 months.
I hope they release the tough cases soon, I had one for the Nexus One and was really happy with it and it looks thinner (by its pics) than the Incipio dual layer case that is currently being offered. I want a bit more protection for my phone but want to avoid making it too thick so the Otter and Trident cases are out the window, even if they offer extra covering.
I've been waiting for CaseMate to release this for awhile now. I just ordered it and will probably do a review when I get it.
I was disappointed in the Incipio Feather, I did a review a few pages back (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1147494). In fact, shortly after my review, the coating started to come off around the edges, which was pretty disappointing.
OK, I dont know how Ebay gets stuff before it's even on the manufacturers own website, but this is the real deal! If not, it the best looking knockoff I've ever seen. I had one for close to a year with my EVO and this one has the same build quality. It amazes me how tight these cases fit, yet snap on or off effortlessly. I am definitely happy now and wont need another till I get my GSII.
The fit is amazing, but hey...a picture tells more than I can. Even with me poor photo skillz
Another thing...Ordered on Friday at 9AM and received Mondays mail. That's great for ebay.
Thank you so much for posting your pics!
I was curious as to how the case-mate one looked. I was debating on purchasing it but I really want a red one. I have the red Incipio feather case but the case-mate looks like it puts it to shame. The feather case sits a mm or two below the plane of the screen which I don't like--along with the break for the charger port. At the time I got my phone I had little choice but I'll have to take the case-mate version into consideration.
I ordered the tough case off amazon, it should arrive in a day or two. Ever since I got a spare battery I have to constantly remove the feather case and the inner edge of the case is tearing. I can see the silver lining now--it's not too bad but it is annoying if you notice small things like that.
I saw that the ebay seller has a white one but I did not see this on Case Mates website. The picture on ebay looks a little green though. Would like something other than black or pink ...
Now they are on CM site' lol
http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Dr...e-Samsung-Droid-Charge-Barely-There-Cases.asp
Anybody know how these compare to the incipio feather cases. They are the same price. and look almost the same. Was wondering if there was any difference quality wise.
Incipio Feather I had this on my fascinate and loved it. Very sturdy.
Well the Incipio Feather is so bad that I actually sent mine back. The button cutouts were uncomfortable to use and it did not wrap around the screen. The main reason I wanted it was so I could put my phone screen down without a screen protector. I had the Feather on my Atrix and loved it.
The Barely There looks like its designed a lot better. I would not even consider the Feather if I were you.

Thanks I went with the case mate.
Anyone know if either of these fit in the desktop dock?
If you mean the Samsung Dock (model ECR-D994BE) it won't. I have it and no kind of plastic case will allow the phone to sit flush in the dock. You will have to remove the case to use the dock properly.
The Case-Mate does pop off & on very easily.
The Bestbuy Rocketfish case is also a great barely there case.
It completely wraps the phone.. I have it and love it so far.

Its funny how we here on xda are going through cases trying to find the best one to protect our phone but there really hasnt been anyone to step up and make a good protective case. Most of the time they're the small, thin or ones that does not protect the entire phone. There are some out there but the bigger named ones that are known for more rugged cases haven't made one just because it isnt a flagship of a carrier...

I will not buy Otterbox again. They did not make a case for Galaxy SII, and now Nexus 4.
And yet they made/make two for the GNex. Go fig. Maybe they didn't sell as many as they thought they would and are now Nexus gun shy.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I have had a commuter case for every phone I have owned over the years. Over the last few cases I have also bought a ballistic case and the quality is much higher. I will buy the ballistic over Otterbox commuter any day.
My main reason is because the back of the commuter case slides off everything. It has no grip like the ballistic. Additionally the ballistic has edge protection with minimal bulk. Finally the TPU quality is different for both brands. Otterbox is way to soft and allows sand to get in the edges.
Just my two cents from years with both manufacturers.
Sent from my Nexus 4
Meh. A Commuter case would have competition, notably from Ballistic. A Defender case, on the other hand, with its integrated screen protector ... that I would by. If Otterbox doesn't finally decide to produce it in 2014.

Haha yeah I also posted on their fb and got the same response. I'm just surprised how some of these companies only want to make cases that will make them most profit and they don't know the case demand this phone has just because its not a flagship carrier phone.. I see pieces of plastic go for $10-20 on eBay w/ 700-900 sold and barely protects the phone. Heck I even got the lg bumper and wasnt too satisfied with it so I gave it to my bro and im sure people on here are willing to pay extra for better cases.

I have also asked on Otterbox's facebook several times and every time they said they have no plans to make a case for the Nexus 4. So I went and ordered this case off ebay for Just under $10.

how do you like that one? i have the exact armor which is nice except it's a little slippery on the sides.
Both Seidio and Ballistic are in the process of making cases for our devices. I've had ballistic cases for my last 2 Nexii. They work great and look good for a big bulky case. Ive preordered the active case from Seidio and theirs are every bit as high end as otter box. Otter doesn't seem to make as high quality case for devices that aren't iPhone anyway.

It is rather disappointing, but it's not unreadable for a company to want to make a profit. Especially with the supply problems and order uncertainty, it cant be an easy judgement to make on whether the costs of a production run are going to sell well enough.
Hopefully the other robust cases in the works from other manufacturers will be good..
im sure there will be some nice rugged cases for our phone, it seems to always take longer for any android phone maybe except the galaxy S line.
Otterbox is overrated and overpriced imo, i bought the commuter for my Gnex and found it very bulky(even for a dual layer) and the silicone is a huge lint magnet. The plastic shell is also too slippery for me.
i bought this dual layer case in the mean time until something better comes.

Interesting. Have you received it? I don't mean to hijack this Otterbox thread (as useless as Otterbox itself has made it), so have you posted about your impressions about this case you bought in a dedicated thread?

sure, if there's no thread on it by the time i get it(hopefully next week) then ill take some pics and post a short review.
Ballistic is coming soon as well as Seidio active. The seidio can use a holster, and both are just as high quality as otter box. I personally don't like how otter looks and from what I've seen of their android cases, they don't put the effort in with designing them like they do the iPhone.

Well thanks to Otterbox this will be the first device I use without their protection. I was hoping we might see a Trident case, they have a nice design going on their Aegis series cases.
I work in an environment where particles can easy plug up ports.
Anyone know of cases that cover or plug them so I don't get them full of debris?
alternative, you can buy port caps.
in doing a quick search on Amazon, I found this: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=micro%20usb%20port%20cap. Definitely some options.
Definitely a good idea. I work in area with a lot dust and petrocoke dust too.

Here's three choices, the Seidio isn't available yet and I think at least one of the Otterbox models, probably the Defender has the port covers. I called Seidio last week and they said they didn't have an ETA. I called Ballistic today and they said later this week or early next week it'll be available so that's what I'm going to order.

There's also the Ringke Fusion by Rearth: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N174SZM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

How is the overall feel of the case? I was looking at this one as well. I had a clear case for the HTC M8, but it felt tacky and the clear back showed fingerprints all of the time. Does this case have those issues? TIA.
I got the white note, so finger prints are not that visible. However, with the black note I imagine that they would be.

I have the black Note 4 and bought the clear version of this case. It's a solid case- the button feedback is fantastic and it's actually slightly slimmer than the SPIGEN UH (I also bought that in clear). The Spigen feels a little tougher/thicker and the buttons on those are too flat so the feedback isn't as nice. The BIG BIG BIG problem with both of these cases is that they SCRATCH EASILY...like really easily. I took off the caution sticker on the back for the Ringke Fusion and my nail, despite being very careful, left deep indented scratches that can't be removed - it makes the case look really bad when scratched up, unfortunately. The grip on both, though, is solid. The port sockets actually close up perfectly on the Fusion case. I also bought the Ringke Slim case in Black SF (soft feel) and I'm very very happy with it. This is the case I'll be keeping. I'm sending back the other two.

I just looked at a Defender case at AT&T and am disappointed. I don't know about their Defender cases for other phones, but the Note 3 has a cover for the home button. There Defender case for the Note 4 does not, instead it just has a cut out in the screen protector for the home button. I enjoyed the port covers and liked the peace of mind knowing that if something did drip a little on my phone I could probably just wipe it off (happened once). Instead there is now a big hole in the screen protector that will allow any liquid to come in and stay trapped.
Just something to think about...

I ordered the Ballistic Tough Maxx. I researched Otterbox a couple of years ago and on their own website a lot of customers were complaining the cases were coming loose. Most indicated they would not recommend to a friend. Plus I think they're overpriced. I got my Ballistic for $34 incl freight.

I ordered it through a 3rd party Amazon reseller called Warehouse Distributing who showed they had one available when I ordered it two days ago. After my order their link on the Amazon webpage was removed. It was supposed to have shipped yesterday or today but last night they sent me an email stating it was backordered with an ETA TBD. Warehouse Distributing is a new Amazon reseller and the individual that sent the email in a follow up email to my response questioning why the status change claimed they don't have any merchandise of any kind and just forward their orders to their suppliers. He said by the time he had done that with my order the remaining case had been sold. I have my doubts that a case was ever available because I called Ballistic earlier in the week and they said it would be released either later this week or early next week.
All in all a most dissastisfactory experience with Warehouse Distributing.
The Unicorn Beetle Pro w/holster has port covers too.
Here's a pic
One more.
Otterbox Defender, toughest case you can buy if your not concerned with the bulkiness of it and the cost. Remove the built in screen protector and add Tempered Glass. I'm a machine operator and am tough on everything. This is the best option I've found. Covers the ports for both power and headphones.
This is what I bought for my Note 4

Thanks much for the heads up!! I just ordered one myself. Last night I ordered the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro on Amazon and after I ordered it it showed a delivery between 11-3 & 11-19 which greatly disappointed me. The product description stated shipping in 3-4 days. I'd rather have the Ballistic because of the separate screen cover piece so when a tempered glass protector without the halo effect becomes available I can easily use it. Plus the Ballistic is I think a more rugged case than the Supcase. I really wanted a kickstand but the only one I found that had port covers, a belt clip & a kickstand is the Seidio Convert Combo which is not yet released and when I called them last week they said they had no release ETA for it. What I don't get about the Ballistic is it's available on eBay but not on Ballistic's website. First time I've ever bought anything on eBay. Thanks again for letting me know about the availability.
I bought the Ringke fusion from amazon and it covers the USB and headphone openings. It also came with a screen protector and has a loop for a wrist strap,which I use with my wii wrist strap when I'm out taking photos in precarious situations. Wish I had it when I was out exploring caves.

Not sure if any of you are fans of Supcase, but they have three different styled cases available on Amazon for Pre-Order. Two come out on the 25th, and one on the 30th supposedly.

I am probably going to hold off until I see some bumpers and if I don't, that first link would be my second option.

I had the second case that you linked on my nexus 6 and I loved it. Plenty of grip, it didn't feel as bulky as a otterbox and it was only $20
I want to get this case but i'm concerned about the dept of the outer lip from video and pics i've seen it dosen't look like your phone is protected very much from flat falls.
I have the Supcase Unicorn Beetle on my Nexus 6 and I love it. I just emailed them a few days ago and they said they had no news on the Moto X Pure. Now all I need is a good plastic screen protector and I will finally order this phone!
I definitely recommend their cases btw.

Nope. Its not available yet but I did look at videos of the same case for other phones and it looks good. Its a toss up between the ib;ason or the supcase with the frost back. Im only worried about the clear getting scratched. It says its scratch resistant but it will get scratched eventually

Pretty good fit and feel? I want a clear or greyscale tpu case but would do something like this in the mean time.

Going to look into getting a Note 4 or 5 Seidio holster and see if it fits since Seidio has no plans to support the MXPE
Crackberry/ShopAndroid has holsters. Shipping starts at $3.95 and free shipping for orders over $50. Easy returns also.
These are the holsters I've found that may work with SUPCASE, Spigen and probably Incipio

Nice. Scratches and scuff on it already? There goes being "scratch resistant". This is one of the reasons why I don't get all clear cases. They'll scuff and they end up looking like a frost case.
The lock tabs aren't very durable. I broke one taking the case off. I wouldn't trust a decent drop with the clear case as i worry about the impact opening the case and exposing the phone anyways. Feel wise it's OK, but prefer the bumper that came with it.
