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

Google Nexus One Vaja Ivolution Cases

Hi, All
I was wondering if anybody would be interested in a Custom Vaja Ivolution Case for the Nexus One.
For anybody that hasn't heard of them, they are suppose to be the Prada of mobile phone cases. They mainly make cases for the Iphone.
I want to get one, but they still only make a Pouch.
I have put in a request on the Vaja website & would appreciate if anybody else who is interested in one please put in a request. The link to the website is below.
http://www.vajacases.com/
The more the merrier.
Also they have just released one for the HD2
Thanks
JAW$

Done.
I love Vaja cases. I had one for my Palm TX a few years ago and it was amazing quality. It's spendy, but it's worth it.

If you own a Nexus One & want a Vaja Ivolution Case, please contact Vaja & give them your suggestion.
The more people ask for this, the more likely they will make it.

Those are some cool looking cases, but I worry about the N1 version they show on their site. The bottom corners are not protected at all. Even if the phone is in the case and you drop it, you could still end up with gnarly looking corners after just one drop onto some concrete. They need to come out with ones like I saw for the iPhone and Palm that fully protect the whole phone.

From what I can see there is already one under Products - Phone - Google - Nexus one. Or are you looking for something else?

Exactly, that's what I'm saying. I mentioned Ivolution case not the Pouch they currently make.

They do currently make a Nexus One Pouch but that no to my likening.
Vaja Ivolution cases are resound through out the world for being the best cases.

Awesome cases by Vaja...I'll put in a N1 request to them!

The style & quality is no where near as good as Vaja

Been a long time Vaja fan ever since the PDA ages where I had a Sony Clie N70. I still actually have that case and works and fits like a glove. I have since gone down the ivolution line with a lot of Sony Ericsson products and when I saw this pouch I got excited for a minute but noticed that it wasn't really a case. I would def pay top dollar for a nice case if one was made for my N1.
The Argentinian leather is absolutely top notch. In my opinion, the best leather you can buy out there.

Thanks man

need to change design..
I'm eager to get vaja case for N1 and already sent email to them long time ago.
but I can't understand why they made as like this design.
To compare with HD2 and iPhone, they have flip cover!
that's more comfortable and useful.
I hope they're reconsidering about this design. I know that N1's market share is too small, but they're enthusiast and will pay for good case.

Hi buddy,
Thanks for the constructive feedback, unfortunately I have been using my Nexus 4 to take the pictures so was unable to have pictures of the phone in the case!

Nice review. Just bought this the other day as well. Smashing case, and not too intrusive. Still love the N4 naked though

Yes!, Some mates I have spoke to don't like the disco ball finish on the back, but I feel its a change from the bog standard boring plain back. I just don't rep my phone naked as I will drop it the day I remove my case.

Posting my review here, since I'm not sure why it won't show up on the site.
Overall, it's alright. Not great, but good enough for a basic review.
Let me highlight a few things I liked, before I start tearing it down (sorry!)
Format:
- Holy crap, the formatting is beautiful. Top notch in my opinion.
Informative and brief:
- I actually liked reading this. Learned new things and now I'm having second thoughts on not ordering this case before!
Specifications:
- Quite a lot, especially near the end, which is great to see in a review.
However, now the criticism:
Grammar:
- Because I'm a nazi. Re-read it once or twice, and you'll probably notice the errors.
tl;dr:
- The summary should be placed at the very top. It's better to get the general overview before going into the specifics. Most people may just scroll down, see the summary and leave without actually giving it a second thought.
Pictures:
- Read it on your forum post. It's fine for now. Even with a Nexus 4, look for some photography tips. The Nexus 4 can compare to most basic DSLR's today. Takes practice.
Yeah, photos with the phone is nice. If you have any digital camera, use it. If not, and if you're not me (poor as f-) then go ahead, get a camera and get at it!
Overall, I give the review a...
7.5/10
It's great, I enjoyed it. Going to bookmark this site, since I'm most likely going to look for a new case later in the month. Great job!

Hey man, awesome review. You should have a look at some of the dbrand vinyl stickers for the N4 back. I have the brushed aluminium one and it's pretty awesome. Gets rid of the crap disco ball back and doesn't add bulk to the phone

I was told that they where making a third version of this case along with a revised version of the Ringke Fusion, I'm not sure if anyone else know anything about this but would be nice to have it confirmed.
Please tell me if I am wrong

Maybe they will put some grip on this one so it isnt like a bar of wet soap

I also find it hard to understand why phone case manufacturers cannot add a little more grip, I cant see it being a hard thing to do. But hey ho I don't design them!

Just to confirm, I have contact Rearth an there will not be a version 3 slim version case. But there could possibly be a 2nd revision Fusion case. Hope this helps!

[Review] [Giveaway] Diztronic TPU

I just wanted to give a huge thanks to Android Fan Network (Nick) for sending me this case! :highfive: Thanks guys!
okay, so this is the first time I've ever seen a diztronic case.
i wasn't sure what to expect, honestly, i first heard about them a week ago when i saw AFN's review they posted on facebook. Well, I wanted to get my hands on a case ever since I saw that review. So, naturally I was really excited to get home from work tonight at 8pm to find this sitting in my mailbox! Even though the unit I received was pink I still wanted it on my phone, for a few minutes at least! Well, I just want to say that Diztronic really used high quality TPU when they designed this case. It really has a premium feel that a lot of TPU cases lack.
PRO's:
-fitment, honestly it is exactly like it should be. No excess space and nothing is cramped. (the IR blaster is slightly off center, but it still works perfectly)
-button covers. Yes, this is actually a PRO on this case. It is flimsy enough to allow for a tactile feedback of the button! It actually clicks. I don't know why all companies don't make this a priority.
-Lip, it has just the right amount of lip around the top edge to protect your device without going insaine
CON's: These are so minimal, I almost didn't even list them
-No grip on the sides
-camera cutout is not 'perfect' it is slightly raised and causes the phone to rock back and forth when placed on the back, it is also a large square instead of being cut the fit. (not a big deal just something to note)
-My review unit is pink and I cannot be seen with it on my phone in public.
Overall, I would give this TPU case a 5*/5* It is exactly what I look for in a case, and if it were not pink, I would keep it myself! So, if anyone would like a sparkly pink TPU case from Diztronic, I would like to offer the chance to win it, free shipping and all.
I want someone to answer the following question: (Yes, I am a math geek!)
Solve the system:
1) x+2y+2z=10
2) 2x+y+z=8
3) x+3y+2z=11
First person to give me all three numbers that x, y , and z represent wins the case with no shipping charges. Good luck!
Disregard my marked fingers. I work at starbucks and I happened to be on register during happy hour...:crying:

Let me know what you guys think, I know I love the case sans color choice!

I know, I personally love the phone and want to help build a better community here. I got this case for free and really only wanted to review it. I know I love getting something I want for free, especially something that is, in my opinion, good. I'm going to give away two other cases soon, so be on the lookout for those!
I agree though, there is a lot of negative threads here, we need more positive ones for such a great phone.

Pass it on like OP said, can't be seen in public with a pink s4 now, if my girlfriend had an s4 I'd gladly take it but she has a lame 4s

Alright, so first come first serve. Who ever has a girlfriend with an S4, or would just like an awesome TPU case that happens to be pink, send me a PM or post here. (Be sure to quote me or PM me as well so I get an E-mail notification!)

Im sure there has to be one girl in our community.. lol

[Q] S6 non-wallet leather case (back only, brown, in US)

I think there used to be a thread on this, but I can't find it anymore. Here's my question:
I'm looking for a thin leather case for my S6. Not so much a wallet style case, sleeve, or one with a closure, just a protector for the back and sides of the device. My experience with PU or low-grade leather (<$20) isn't great, so I'm fine spending a little more money (>$50).
Ideally, it would be brown and available in the US. The options I've seen so far don't fit in with the color, price, or domestic availability. Any suggestions? If you're going to suggest these, I've already looked at them and they are a bust:
I'm an XDA noob, so I'm prevented from posting links, but I've looked at cases from Stilgut (can't order from Amazon US and potential returns to DE seem difficult), Sena (no back-only case for the S6), Vaja (not making a case for the S6), and Montblanc (if I'm gonna spend $110, I need one that is perfect, i.e., brown). None fit the bill.
Again, apologies if this is a duplicate thread. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
P.S. As an aside, I'd consider a wooden case, but none of those (Carved, Toast, etc.) seem to be what I'm looking for either.

I'm interested in this as well.
The official Apple leather case for the iPhone is perfection for what I want. Unfortunately, that's one area that Samsung doesn't seem willing to take design queues from. I wouldn't mind paying 40/50 bucks if its THE only case id want/need.

Currently choosing between Galaxy S6 and iPhone 6. As silly as it might sound, a good leather (shell) case is one of my highest priorities.
I broke 3 iPhone 5's until I put the official leather case on it (I always disliked plasticky cases).
It added more grip, and just enough protection from average falls.
Ridiculous really. Choosing a $1000 piece of tech based on a $50 accessory. But that's just how it is.
Hopefully someone knows of something.

They haven't announced the S6 case yet but I have always been happy with with Vajacases - if you are willing to drop some extra cash. Here's one of the options for the S5: http://www.vajacases.com/galaxy-s5-leather-cases/premium-leather-grip
Edit: I see you mentioned Vaja is not making an S6 case. What is your source? It usually takes them a few months before the new models are ready.

There actually was a thread on this subject until recently, but when trying to find it now, I just realized it has inexplicably been deleted. Had a few good examples in it, but they're obviously not reachable now. I'll post the link here below in case the thread turns up again.

I contacted Vaja through their website back in April and they told me that it was under development. When I checked in last week, they said that a case for the S6 "is not currently being planned for production. We planned to develop a line in the past but I am afraid right now the project has been cancelled."
Whether that means it may show up later, who knows, but for now we're out of luck. Boo.

Yeah, no clue either why the other thread disappeared. It led me to a couple of versions of Apple-esque leather Galaxy S6 cases on eBay.
This one without a plastic fill in the camera/HRM cutout is the one that I already bought in dark blue for my black S6. In short:
Top and bottom are left uncovered
Fit is pretty good, no looseness anywhere really
The power + volume down buttons are both properly clicky
The volume up is pretty mushy, but not too bad
No interference with headphone jack or bottom USB port
The width of the case means that the camera module no longer touches the surface when laid on its back
It does NOT, however, appear to have any lift on the front so your screen will touch the surface when laid facedown
The last item was probably so that swiping in from the edge of the screen is still quite comfortable
Overall I'm pleased enough with the quality and feel of the PU leather cases that I might end up also trying out this slightly different version with plastic fill for the camera/HRM cutout . I'm not sure if it's unclear photos but it looks like this version has full coverage around at least the top of the bottom?
Anyhow, the one that I have feels a lot like the Apple Leather case I've tried out on iPhone 6, which is exactly what I was looking for.

Wow, thank you so much. The "more expensive one" is exactly what I am looking for. No cutouts on the side or anything. Looks perfect. Out of curiosity, how long did shipping take? I have the worst luck with that kind of thing, and it looks like it ships out of China.
Also, since you have the dark blue/black S6, can you throw up a few images for me?
I just ordered one of each... hopefully they arrive before S7....

Looks like one of these would work. Thanks for the tip.

Yeah, the buttons on the second cases I linked in my post look like they'll have better buttons. On mine it's like... slits on each end of the button section.
Shipping was surprisingly fast for me. I think I wanted like... just under two weeks? I was quoted a shipment time like 30+ days from purchase (which is insane), so I was pleasantly surprised when it showed up in normal China --> US shipment time.
If I can get a few minutes to myself at home tonight I'll try and snap a few choice pics of the dark blue on my black S6.
Though it's not without its tradeoffs, I think you'll be more than pleased with your order

I found a high end solution for you guys as well. Reviews on Bouletta from the Sony forums talk about them being some of the highest quality leather cases on the market.

Looks nice, but having the cut outs on the side just make it feel cheap to me...Even if it's of the highest quality

I know exactly what you mean. Originally I wanted an Xperia Z3, but there are literally no cases available without massive side cut-outs. The Z3 one is borderline ridiculous: http://www.bouletta.com/index.php?id_product=103&controller=product
The Galaxy S6 one isn't too bad. Not as good as the standard Apple one though unfortunately =\

I have the second case linked from ebay earlier. It is nowhere near leather feeling. I would say it feels more like a smoothed out velvet than anything. Also, the case does not really offer any protection for the front. It might stick out 1mm past the screen. Overall it is an okay case for the price, but if anyone wants a "leather" feel to a case, this is not the one for you. The buttons are not that great either. You lose most of the tactility from the keys with the case. I imagine over time they will break in and feel better, but after a week of use it doesn't feel great, but doesn't feel as bad as it did at first.

Am I missing something? I can't seem to find a price/how to buy? Is it a non-US site?. Also, the brown case looks grayish, no? (I'm legit color blind though, so that could just be my broken eyes)

Hey that bouletta case looks really nice. However, is the thickness of the back of the case enough so that the camera doesn't touch the surface the phone is placed on? I've seen many posts of people saying how they cracked the camera lenses after just putting the s6 on its back like on a table or something similar.
Thanks

You're right. I've sent them an email to find out.

ARRIVED!!
This one came in today : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Luxury-Orig...Domain_0&var=570673785727&hash=item3f4af29e66
Gotta say... i'm insanely impressed. I can't imagine getting much closer to the official Apple Leather case than this. Sure, there is virtually no drop protection, but that's not what I'm into. Just need to keep it scratch free and get that camera bump evened out. I have attached some pics.
Biggest problem for most people will be lack of lip around the screen. It's pretty much flush with the aluminum on the device. I actually prefer that since I never ever place my device face down... so i'm able to still feel the slight curve to the glass.
The buttons are a little stiff right now - but I'm going to chalk that up to material. It'd be awesome if they wear in over time, but not a big deal if they don't. I'm thrilled with this thing for 8 bucks... could easily sell for 30 in US retail stores.
I also got the 5 dollar version and it's not nearly as nice. That two dollars makes all the difference in the world apparently.

Thanks for the pictures. It looks to be a little off around the bottom of the phone. Is it just the angle of the picture or is that the case?
I had purchased something like this for an iPhone 6 plus that I had and it just slightly didn't fit the phone. The cut out for the camera was off were it wouldn't sit flush with the back of the phone. I ended up just biting the bullet and paying the 50 odd bucks for the apple one. It would be nice if there was a decent quality real leather option, even if the price was higher. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Again thanks for the picture.
