i like the barely there by case-mate better.

Could you post pics of it after you get it? Its always so hard to tell what the color is going to look like from the ad photos - the case mate barely-there case's black color just looks too contrasting from the gunmetal. I'm hoping this will match a bit better.

will it still fit the google dock ????

I doubt it (i dont have one though) as the docks are designed to fit snuggly with the phone, so i suspect the only thing that will fit with the dock will be those shield type cases e.g. Zagg Invisishield.

thanks was waiting for this one and pulled the trigger since it's currently on sale

Good timing isn't it with the mothers day sale on
The only down side is with this one they don't have any screen protectors like they do with the 3GS version
So i just need to decide on one of those

got mine today
looks pretty good gotta say and adds little bulk
i had a gelli case on it before that i liked, but it was difficult to take on and off to put in my car dock.
i'll post pics later for any interested ppl

Please do!
Also.. what kind of feel does it have? Is it a soft-touch finish

yea lets see pics!

x3 on the pix!

Mine arrived yesterday which i wasn't expecting
Overall I'm happy with it, I don't think I would have paid the full $19.99 for it as its a bit flimsy looking. I was expecting the case to be more like the iphone 3gs version which has a rubbery feel to it.
It's easy to pop in and out of the case.
The gap for the volume controls could be thinner.
I don't have any of the google docks but I would probably bet you'd have to take the phone out the case.
Some of the guys at work that have N1's have the Zagg Invisishield so if you are feeling anal the incipio will fit over that
I'll get some piccies today

pix
like bewa mentioned it's not the same rubbery feel to it like the iphone case, which what i was hoping but this is good to imo since often times those cases with the rubbery feel end up peeling at some point. this case is pretty thin, thin enough where if it were made of the same material it wouldn't feel any different than stock.
It's a good light weight unobtrusive case for everyday use, I figure I can slap on the gelli case for the occasional drunken night out.
sorry for the crappy pics

cheers dude
Updated the first post with a link to your post

I'm sure you can find something like this on ebay soon. In Hong Kong you get the same case for $2.00, quality is good too.

thx for the pics. I wish someone would maek this style of case without the obnoxiously huge logo on the back.

i've been waiting for the feather for a long time now cause i thought it was going to be like the iphone's feather, but it doesnt seem to be.
any chance of getting a picture of the inside? is the inside of the case rubbery like the iphone or shiny?
i also dont like how it doesnt cover the corners fully. if you drop it, it'll probably take a toll on your corners.. maybe i should try the barely there
anyway,
thanks a lot for the pictures, definitely helping out my decision

its the same on the inside as it is on the outside i'm afraid :S
I was hoping even that would have some sort of grip on it but no it doesn't!
I just can't understand why they've gone for this approach on the feather for the N1 rather than the same as on the iphone versions! personally that would have been better in my view!
I held out on a case for this one based on the experience i had with the 3gs and i think after a week of usage (or less) i'm pretty dissapointed
I'll keep the case on and search for something similar to the 3GS version and look for a screen protector that doesn't reduce touch screen responsiveness...

case looks alright but I feel it's lacking a decent amount of coverage. Think I'll stick with my Seidio Innocase II

heavy duty case for nexus one?

well i have been searching around and no luck. when im at home, i got a rubber case for it since i tend to not drop my phone at home. but when im out, i tend to forget about my phone and drop it. now this hasn't happened to my nexus one but it has happened to my past phones (iphone 3gs, i phone 3g, blackberry curve, blackberry bold, sidekick lx 2009, sidekick lx, etc) so i need a heavy duty case for my nexus one curve. it doesn't have to look sexy but i wouldn't mind if it did will to go up to $50 for it. so any suggestion guys?

Do a search for "BLACK RUBBER DUAL COVER CASE FOR HTC NEXUS ONE GOOGLE" on Ebay. Fantastic silicone/hard plastic case for $7.99 (i paid additional $3.99 for international shipping) which seems to give the N1 much better protection than the standard rubber cases (i have one of those "argyle" ones).
Othe than that, there's Case-mate tough (which i believe is very similar to the one on ebay, don't know if it's worth more than 3 times as much), Seidio Innocase and Otterbox has N1 cases coming out.

I have a Tough Case (pink/black), it looks pretty good and does feel pretty hefty, has some very good reviews too.
Overall fit is very good, nothing loose, all holes line up bang on. I do like that the buttons are covered, and that being covered doesn't affect their operation. Also comes with a screen protector which doesn't mess with the visual quality or useability of the screen, which surprised me.
Really don't have a bad word to say about it, other than it's quite expensive for a case, I'd probably nit have bought it if I didn't get a good price.

im looking into that case mate and i got to say, im pretty damn impressed. im also impressed by the Otterbox $35 one. im guessing the otterbox is stronger.....but i think the case mate is sexy lol what you guys think???

I don't think you can go wrong with either.
One review on the case mate (tough case) website said that his phone survived a 35 foot drop to concrete. Someone in the general forum had a clear case that only covers the sides and back and it didn't even survive a 2 foot drop.

grrrr both are so tempting. they both look rather good. i guess i will buy the case mate for now (along with an invisibleshield for screen and body protection) and buy the otterbox some other time. hope the case mate tough case feels as good as it looks

also, i want fully body protection for the front, not just the screen. is the screen protector that case mate comes with enough? or is it better to get a full body invisibleshield?

Well, the screen protector by definition only covers the screen, however the silicon skin part of the case protrudes a few mm (as seen in above pic), which will protect the front in the event of a face-plant.

Otterbox Commuter - phone got run over by a car and survived!

So, long story short...
I was stupid enough to drive off from a parking lot with my phone on top of the roof of the car.
Returned some time later to circle the parking lot, looking for it with no luck. Figured it must have held on through some turns due to the rubber corners, so I left the lot and retraced my route, leading back to a main street. Crawling at 10 mph at 2 o'clock in the morning, I held on to the hope that I would spot it.
Seeing a black object on the side of the road, I pulled over thinking I'd finally found it... only to discover it was someone else's expensive smartphone! As you can see from the pictures below, I think it's a Motorola Droid X with the screen smashed to bits.

Disheartened, but still not giving up, I kept driving. A couple of blocks down, I saw another black object and stopped in the middle of the road. It was the Otterbox's soft inner case... a few feet away from it I found the naked Inspire, and its battery. As you can imagine, I was already quite happy at this point.. but I couldn't see if the phone worked or not without the battery cover. So I made a u-turn, circled around twice, and found my battery cover as well as the Otterbox's outer shell, which was squished on the sides, with some of them flattened.. obviously run over by a car.
Back in the car, I inspected my phone (no scratches on the screen, some scrapes at the corners and around the lens, but all cosmetic), popped the battery in, and it didn't boot. I realized that I'd put the battery in the wrong way, and tried again. White screen, HTC logo, and CM7 boot! My phone had just survived falling from the roof of my car and being run over by another one.
Moral of the story is.. HTC build quality rocks and the Commuter is an awesome case! If it could do this for my phone, the Defender would pretty much render it indestructible.
PS I salvaged the 16gb microsd card from the Motorola and upgraded my 8gb one! Lmao.

got any pictures of the inspire?

ditto, wanna see how the phone itself fared.

Damage Report:
As you can see, the scratched areas are the corners and the lens (only the rim, not the glass!).. which are the only areas the Commuter's hard shell doesn't fully cover.
It seems as if the phone had shed the silicone skin before the corner damage occurred, as the skin seems to be unharmed.. that might have prevented some or most of them.

Not bad! Thanks for sharing because I have been considering that case.

Glad to have gotten the same case and I really do like the case personally the first time I put it on. Thanks for sharing your story mate.

Just got my phone this past Friday and I'm looking into getting accessories for it. Thank you for this post as it helped me decide which case to get now.

It'll be nice if Otter actually have some in stock for people that are looking to buy it.

I think they get new stock every few days. I tried to order a new one the night of the incident with no luck. The next afternoon, they were back in stock and I got my order in.
Sent from a telegraph station somewhere in northern Russia.

Sorry to hear about your accident Pheno.menon but look at the brightside, you have your phone intact with little to no damage.
Wow, good to see the case I bought a week prior to buying my Inspire does its job.
Bite the bullet and buy the Otterbox Commuter everyone, looking at mine now and am more than satisfied by the protection as well & the styling it gives the already beautiful phone.
I'm always in an attempt to keep it that way.

Specs of the case:

I know this is not the streak thread but hey i read them all! I must say the commuter is for real i dropped my streak from over six feet it bounced a couple times then slid on the concrete all i could think was well there went that phone i was sick because some peoples have been broken from way less. Anyway to get to the point no damage at all otterbox commuter a+++++++++++ a must have.

How much bigger does it make your phone? The iphone otter box makes the phone huge.

This thing turns a thin sexi phone into a BEAST. I guess it's all about how you treat your phone... if you're one to drop the phone, yeah, you need this, and it's worth having it turned into a thick beast of a phone for the protection, but if you're careful and not 12 years old, a standard case or no case is just fine.
It never ceases to amaze me that people buy slim\sleek phones, then put a big ol case on it... total waste. If it breaks it breaks. If you're that prone to destroying phones, get insurance. Not worth ruining the aesthetics of the phone.
I'm also baffled as to what would cause a car to run over a phone. I guess the same pool of people as end up on Judge Judy and Jerry Springer.

I think this thread just helped me make my decision on cases!

Has anyone tried both the Mugen and Seidio extended battery covers?

I'm curious which one felt better in your hands while typing with the hardware keyboard. If Mugen does I will order the Seidio battery and Mugen cover independently as I've had good experiences with this combo of parts on my Palm Previously.

Dude man like really. Why wasting my time wit you. Everyone knows seidio rules. Just look at their website they have everything then look at mugenpower and like they don't have all the accessories, they are the low down dirty skanks of the cell world
Also with mugenpower better get a condom for your phone as they are made in dirty conditions with slave labor from china

I just got my Seidio 3300 and must say the case for it is extremely uncomfortable in my hands. There are way too many hard angles which is really taking away from the the experience of using the phone itself. I ordered the Mugen cover from the link posted below and will be updating this post in a few days when I receive it.

Yeah, especially with the keyboard fix TheImpaler posted last night. Although I have become accustomed to the Epic's weight I have always found it to be a little light for my taste. Even after logging some decent time in with this Seidio cover I still don't like it. There is just way too much going on in the back not to be distracted by it. Having extra meat in the back also makes typing 5x easier. I'm thinking a thicker OE design will be just what the doctor ordered. Mugen did a good job on their covers for the Pre and hopefully they'll do justice to the Epic's design as well.

I don't really use the slide keyboard. I just like the idea of the same/similar curvature as stock.

I just got the Mugen cover and its spectacular. I had to shave the living hell out of the insides to get it to fit as it uses a thicker plastic than the Seidio but it was well worth the effort. I highly recommend it. Feels great in my hands.

Nice. Can you post a picture of the insides?

Lots of scraping with a pocket knife lol. I lined the edges of the battery with some chalk to see what areas needed shaving.

Cool. Thanks for that. How does it fit around the edges? Is it precise?
I'm OCD and my generic eBay cover bugs the heck out of me because it doesn't follow the phone perfectly. Hah

It took about three days to come from Colorado to Berkeley. No shipping confirmation was sent so don't get worried if you don't hear anything from Mugen.

It fits great. I'm OC too and spent an extra 20 minutes shaving it down so that everything was nice and tight. I took off maybe 1/16" off when all was said and done. I'll post pics of it once I get home.

Thanks. I placed my order the other day. Do you still like it?

It was a little too much for me to be carrying around as a daily driver. I didn't mind it with my Pre but the Epic was just too big for my preference. I'm keeping it around for roadtrips however incase I need some intensive GPS usage. I ended up going back to the stock battery and lucked out when my phone bricked on Vision's 1.2 kernel. The sales rep at Sprint was nice and slipped me a spare battery. The girth of the extended battery cover definitely made typing a little easier so I ordered a protective case off ebay. Some guy is selling the same (supposedly) cases that Sprint sells for dirt cheap. They're the ones made by Otterbox. I picked it up for $7 shipped.

So for you it's a size issue, not fit or finish?

Yeah, fit and finish are perfectly fine. Expect to be shaving for a loong time. I think a pocketknife will work best.

I just received mine about an hour ago. Interestingly, the fit & finish is fine as you said but I had to put a spacer inside...not dig it out. I cut a business card in quarters, folded one of them in half then taped it inside.
I don't know if that's because of my batteries being eBay cheapies, or variance in the cover.
My only real complaint is how tight it is once it's on. Those little tabs make removal extremely difficult. Folks who never or rarely change batteries might consider that a good thing.

Same here, it seemed a little loose, and when I shut my KB to hard, the phone reset. Took me a while to trace it back to the loose battery, as I didnt notice it for the most part until I went to check my phone and it was off

Yah, I use my license to slip under and edge to get it off the back, but it sure is a PITA otherwise.
Overall, I LOVE it (once I fixed the looseness of the battery)
I really enjoy the way it feels when typing now, and I love the extra protection the camera lens now gets

To case or not to case?

I've ordered 3 cases, received 2 so far. Both are just ok. Nothing looks as good as the naked phone. What caseems (if any) is everyone using? Those who don't use a case, do you worrun about scratching the camera or screen when laying it down? Thanks.

I keep my phone in a sunglass bag and in general it's always worked well. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the S6 because one drop can crack the entire back. Plastic may not be "premium" but it is a lot harder to break. That being said I'm not even sure a case would prevent a crack just from shock rather than a direct hit. It'll be interesting to see how many phones get messed up in the next couple of weeks.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk

A lot of reviews seem to indicate that the S6 is rather slippery. That alone would warrant a case for a lot of people, I'm sure. It prompted me to order one.
A case probably won't save the phone from a high drop, unless getting something pretty bulky. I'd rather get something slimmer to protect the edges and back from scratches and chips and just be diligent about not dropping it. The case I got is the gunmetal version of the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. Though I think they sent me the slate one by mistake because the color is nothing like the pics on Amazon...

As painful as it will be, I'd suggest using a case. I went with a case from LUVVITT that has a transparent scratch resistant back. So while I can't see the metal sides of my phone, I can at least see the back of the phone, plus at least I know it's safe

I'm going to put a case on first months because I need to get used to shape and form I'm always clumsy first months now I use my s5 without any protection since September nothing happen but on first months the more I take care the more I hit the phone on surfaces.

i've always used the flygrip on my devices but also always used it on a case , i never ever ever have droped my phone once my fingers are locked into the flygrip. i will however be putting a case on this device.

i just ordered this same case, but in clear. hopefully i can stand having it on my phone. i should have put the phone in a case the moment i got it, so i that i would not have enjoyed it for a few days without one and i wouldn't want to continue to carry it without one. haha.

A lot of reviews seem to indicate that the S6 is rather slippery. That alone would warrant a case for a lot of people, I'm sure. It prompted me to order one.
A case probably won't save the phone from a high drop, unless getting something pretty bulky. I'd rather get something slimmer to protect the edges and back from scratches and chips and just be diligent about not dropping it. The case I got is the gunmetal version of the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. Though I think they sent me the slate one by mistake because the color is nothing like the pics on Amazon...

Agreed. I have the regular S6 and with the glass on the front and back, it can slip right out of a loose pocket. EASILY. I bought the Spigen NeoHybrid case and I have zero complaints on it.

The official Otterbox site says "no" (at least for the Commuter cases), but lots of anecdotal evidence gives a qualified "yes." I suspect Otterbox's flat refusal is so nobody will ask for their money back if the wireless charging doesn't work.

The longest I've ever used a case was maybe two days. I hate cases because they make the phone feel bulky and I prefer to feel the actually phone.
But a couple weeks I dropped my Z3 on tile, cracked the front glass and part of the screen doesn't respond to touch. So, the S6 case is on the way. I'll save money in the long run from having to replace screens.
