I have it and I like it.
Pros:
Thick enough to provide reasonable impact resistance without adding so much bulk you want a trailer for it
It has a felt/microfiber lining that makes contact with the phone, reducing wear on phone surfaces
It removes easily for docking, battery changes and the like
It's not horrid looking
Cons:
Doesn't cover the area below the screen around the trackball
It doesn't look great compared to an uncovered Nexus One
Pricey
I can't improve on this pic:

I like it! Just got it in last night to replace my Case-Mate Tough Case. The Tough Case was solidly built and looked like it would probably take some serious tumbles. However the rubber trim around the screen and buttons picked up pocket lint like mad. Fortunately Case-Mate has a 100% refund on returns policy. If you don't keep your phone in a pants pocket all day and don't mind a bulkier case the Case-Mate is the way to go.
That being said, the Innocase will probably protect against most of the accidental drops you'll encounter. Previously I had an iPhone 3GS and a 2G since launch and in both cases I used the Agent18 Eco Shield slider case which is a very similar design. I'm sure that over the years I've managed to slide both of those phones over 100ft on concrete and tile without damage after fumbling them.
Try Amazon, esp. the partner retailers. I got mine for $25 shipped.
The Innocase II is a very nice case, the rubbery kind of exterior feels really great in your hands and doesn't pick up lint on the exterior. It should be able to provide reasonably good protection against drops, though I haven't had any experience with dropping my Nexus yet.
The only downsides to this case are:
1. Does not work well with all screen protectors because it fits extremely well. Read that it can't fit on top of Martin Fields screen protectors due to this, but I haven't tried it myself.
2. Picks up lint between the case and the phone. The felt lining to protect the back of the case which protects the phone when you slide it in and out of the case creates a space where the lint gathers.
Hi
Has anyone had any problems with the
"BLACK RESIN Soft Gel Case for the HTC DESIRE" from ebay
As it is quite 'firm' I'm concerned over time it will scratch or damage the desire's casing ..
Does anyone know of a decide soft flexible silicon case for the desire. One that can't damage the casing...?
any ideas / or comments ?
you might want to look at the invis shield thread which people are using, that seems to do the trick and is good
Thanks. Not sure I like them.
I got one. It is quite difficult to fit the desire in as the case is quite tight. It looks ok though after fitting the phone in
I have been using a 'Gel' case off ebay for about a month now and i too had concerns that it would damage to phone but I have taken it off a couple of times and there isn't a single mark anywhere on the phone!
It was a UK based one for like £2 i got.
Phil
I think a gel case would be OK, but this is a 'resin' case.. which is a little firm..
Thats what concerns me !!
Well mine is like a resin I guess. Like soft plastic material. It is quite firm and takes a bit of getting the phone in/out but like I say it hasn't make a single mark on the phone.
Phil
Cheers Phil..
I've ordered a cheap soft silicone case.. I'll see how that compares..
I had one of the soft silicone ones and although they are good protection wise and easy to get on and off I had a couple of issues with it.
I found that it made the rear of the phone go 'weird'. Hard to describe really but it made marks on the back cover with it being rubberised and having the rubber case on it left marks on the cover. They have rubbed off and dissapeared over time but I only used the case for about a week.
I found that it made the phone very bulky hence why i went for the 'Gel' one.
It was hard to get it in and out of my pocket as it gripped on my clothes too much.
Phil
Thanks for the replies.
The soft silicone case has arrives, doesn't feel as nice or fit as well as the resin case.
But doesn't feel like it will do any damage to the phone.
I'll see how I get on
i have one if those soft silicone cases, and ive noticed that when i remove it the back of my desire is unusually shiny, and now im wondering if that will return to the original non shine surface..
I had the same thing. It has returned to the normal state after using a gel case for a while.

This is why I went with the cheapo Gel case. I've had mine off and on a few times - no marks or anything. I was sending a text in a club and the phone was knocked out of my hand across the floor. No marks on case or anything.
The silicone case I have for my Blackberry is great although it tends to pull everything out of your pocket including the inside of the pocket - little annoying. Although it sticks to everything. you could leave it on the dash board of the car whilst driving and it wouldnt move at all.
pro's and cons. I prefer the gel one personally. Although the silicone stickyness comes in handy.
haha, my soft silicone case lost some of its traction i dont know why lol.
I've been looking around for cases for my desire,
can anyone recommend any sites that sells the resin gel ones the cheapest and has reputation for fast shipping?
I live in Canada, as much as I enjoy buying stuff online, I feel like I have to wait for like 100 years for an item to get here.
just changed my resin case to a soft gel.
Feels better add that to my new pouch that take the desire in the gel case..
Sorted
Besides my own (which I keep in an Otterbox Commuter), I've seen 3 people out in the wild with N1s. 1 used it commando, the other 2 used just the included sleeves.
I'd have thought there'd be more protection out there for our beloved N1s.
I've been using the innocase surface since day one and I just recently moved up to the rugged. It's kinda fugly but i'm confident that this thing could stand up to a tank now!
I value the feel of the Nexus One itself. I used to have a big old case for it but I just use the sleeve now. I think people take for granted how useful, protective, convenient, and less bothersome the sleeve really is.
I found the Otterbox case to be too bulky. I found a clear plastic case at T mobile that snaps on the back and almost makes it look like it's commando but still protects.
The sleeve works but is a hassle to use and keep track of. I used it for about 2 months. You wont know how much trouble it is until you try a phone case.
Next I got a hard rubber case (<$5)... it did not offer much drop-protection and the rubber cracked and chipped off in a month.
Next I got a no-label black gel case (<$5) and its the best I've used so far. Excellent drop-protection. Good grip too compared to the above two.

I've had plenty of all sorts of cases. Another main reason I like the sleeve is that it keeps dirt, lint, dust and any other kind of small particle that may be in your pocket or on your desk that can (and does, somehow) get caught in between the case and the phone. I also use a stealth guard clear wrap on it.

Those offer only scratch protection, the screen protector is useful though. $2.85 shipping
I use a gelish case from Boxwave. I like it because it fits well, isn't too big, and will still slide in/out of a pocket unlike the silicone ones. I'm not using a screen protector because I'm afraid it would make the phone difficult to use. So it's always in my pocket alone facing my leg. Not a single scratch on the screen in six months.
the included neoprene case with the awesome Android logo on it is highly under rated... i'm so glad I stuck with it instead of purchasing a gel case or any other - those cases offer nothing in terms of protecting the nexus one from water damage.
case in point, out at a gig the other night - some bozo who was part of a group i went out with spilled half his beer (at leasy 175ml of liquid) directly all over my nexus one. if it wasn't for the neoprene case, it would have been dead for sure! take the phone out of the case, dry as the desert - the neoprene case was soaked (i squeezed out at least 100ml in beer back into the bozos bottle)
it's also pretty good protection against drops - i've dropped my nexus from a height of over a metre at least three times with no adverse damage
neoprene stock case ftw!

Thats a sleeve, not a case.
It does offer a lot of protection but at the cost of unnecessary extra work. You cant see the LEDs, makes it hard to hear the phone's notification/ringer.
Using a Commuter Otterbox. First sexy case I've seen so far for the Nexus. Had it shipped all the way from the US. I live in Malaysia btw. Lol. Must say, worth every cent. Cuz I dropped my phone once and there's a few scratches. Bleh. Sadness much. The case brings back lots of joy. Lol.
I'm using the RF one from BestBuy. I'm thinking of getting a cheap rubber one and seeing if I can cram the RF one in for actual protection lol. I'm curious, what are you using?
I just ordered one for my sons triumph on Amazon..its a rubberized plastic black one I do believe.. should be in sometime this week. Didn't really like the one from best buy & had a hard time finding a decent one because none of the ones I found shipped until the 15th but they're all pretty much the same.. and only like $6 or $7 bucks plus shipping. Probably not the best but its better than nothing...
I bought one of those $6 black silicone cases from eBay and I'm very happy with it. The power button is easier to press now and I don't accidentally hit the volume buttons all the time (though they're also easier to press when i need them.) I didn't have to cut anything like some people have reported, as all the mic/speaker/led holes are in their proper places. Quality is about on par with the [much more expensive] Marware case I have my old iPod in.
I don't like cases so I ordered a neoprene pouch off ebay.. it looks exactly like the one for the nexus one if you know what that looks like.. good to protect the phone when it's in my pocket

I went ahead and slurged for the Rocket Fish case over the weekend, pretty happy with it: nice, tight fit and adds very little bulk to the phone. The phone still fits in my leather belt pouch. The case rounds out the Triumph's corners and gives the phone a surer grip. I am much more comfortable carrying my $300 phone around now and I'm very glad I bought the case.
I still wish that Otterbox would come out with a case for us, but the Rocket Fish will do for now.
Motorola Triumph Rubberized Hard Protector Case - Smoke Diagonal Checker
I can't post a link due to me being a new member but search " Motorola Triumph Rubberized Hard Protector Case - Smoke Diagonal Checker " on Amazon.
I received the shipment on time as the order said it would. I opened the mail package to find a very sturdy case with a comfortable soft touch with a bit of grip. Not too much grip that will make it grip to anything; additionally, exactly enough comfort to feel durable and comfortable at the same time. I expected a cheap plastic case with no grip. I am very surprised from the seller on such a great price and product quality. Highly recommend this to first time buyers, or to whom loves their phone enough to spend $4 on keeping the phones appearance and quality at a high rate. Kudo's to the seller. =]

I have the same one.

Mine was only $3 and i really like it. Easy to take off, really sticky and protective.
I bought two cases off amazon, both of the same brand from different sellers. The transparent smoke plastic case is crap. The black plastic is very nice, it feels stiff, it's just tacky enought to give it a good grip but not stick in your pocket, and its got a bit of springiness to it. Not bad for 5 clams. I'm sure an otterbox would be a lot nicer and tougher, but spending 40 bucks on a case to protect a 220 dollar phone? No.

The case I use
I use the Rocket Fish case. I have dropped the phone like 15 times, and the phone is still fine. All the case seems to do is prevent cosmetic damage. The phone is solid as, excuse the pun, a brick.
I am using a cheap black silicone rubber case I found on eBay.
iPhone Trash
I am so sick of ipone this, iphone that. Everybody makes sweet cases for the iphone but leave out the android guys for some reason. Can't these manufacturers think outside of the apple bullcrap. I guess not, that's why android users are stuck with cheap lazer printed plastic junk that wears off within a few days of handling the case. Oh well, I am still a happy android user. till next time.

the thing is, with iPhone's they only have to make 1 to 2 depending on how they make the cutouts (since cdma and gsm versions have a bit different button placement). With android there are 30+ phones for every version of the iPhone. And prepaid carriers usually don't get the best of the cases... At least zagg makes screen protectors for every or near every recent android phone. It would be nice if they made a case for each phone, but that doesn't happen.
I have a pretty good case on my Triumph, it's a snap on but it's durable & don't look bad either.
Honestly, I've been using mine without any kind of case, and it's great! I've owned several phones and an Ipod touch before this that were awful without cases due to the shells being slippery, but the Triumph has a grippy rubberized exterior that feels great in the hand. Unless you drop your phone a lot, I wouldn't bother with a case.
I got a Fosman hard rubberized for like 3 bucks shipped from ebay. Great case for the money and like previously posted a 40 buck otterbox on a $220 phone is a bit of overkill.
I use the Black (Argyle Interior) TPU Crystal Silicone Case Cover For Motorola Triumph on for about 5 bucks. I have dropped the phone a few times and have no dings or scratches anywhere. It is thin enough to not affect the size of the phone and does it's job. I would recommend it over the silicone cases or even the snap on cases.
Whatever one is the cheapest at any online retailer. I would not buy one for .01, mind you, as those are most likely scams! But anything from a reliable retailer at a low price (I replace my generic ones every couple of months).
I'm still considering which case to choose after having sensation for 1 month
Currently im thinking either Capdase flip leather or Case Mate Touch/Barely There
Capdase look cool, but i doesnt really like flip leather and it may look big n thick
For casemate, it just cover the back panel & sideway, but screen is unprotected(eventhough I have screen protector)
I afraid if i put in my pocket with keys or coins or hit something when i walking
any suggestion?

If putting your phone in your pocket, I suggest a cover of some sort. Screen protectors can only protect so much.

Ive had everything from otterbox cases, seidio cases, and some **** t-mobile ones they throw in. These TPU cases seem to hold up just as good if not better than most, also they dont seem to show wear which is nice. My seidio incase looked like **** after a few months of use and i paid $35 for it shipped vs. $8 for the TPU. All the leather cases look nice for about 2 weeks but with pocket use they noticeably wear and are bulkyyy.
As far as putting in your pocket with keys i wouldn't risk it but my roommate has a sensation and he keeps his in his pocket with his car keys. He has a TPU on it and NO screen protector, hes got a little to much faith in the Gorilla Glass on our phones, only marks hes gotten is around the speaker theres some small scratches from keys.
Best combo ive found is to get a TPU and find a store near by that will professionally install a Zagg or another top brand screen protector. Woodfeild mall by me has a stand that installs Zagg sheilds and ive used them since my G1 days. They arent 100% scratch proof like they all claim to be tho, meaning the screen protector can scratch over time but the important thing your PHONE wont get the scratch. Also Zagg and others similar to them have life long warranties anytime the protector looks a little worn or anything you get a free one to install yourself or its $5 for them to professionally install it. Comes out to around $23 bucks for both and ur phone will be well protected. If your really clumbsy and tend to drop **** i would recommend getting an otterbox commuter case, they add a little bulk but better protection vs. TPU. Only thing with cases like Otterbox's is they have exposed rubber so us pocket users tend to end up with lint alll over the exterior of our cases.
edit: didnt mean for this to be so long just popped a couple addys for class and am in over achiever mode lol hope this helps
Ive just ordered: a black armour case, some 3m di-noc to wrap it and a zagg screen protector all for under £20 !($30)
Will report back with pics soon in a new thread
I've got a case-mate barely there (the white flavor) and a Martin Fields screen protector.
Thanks a lot
Well would you go for cover type (eg case-mate) or flip leather type ?
I bought 3 different cases for my HTC Sensation, 2 Case-Mate and one a relatively unknown brand Momax. Links below.
As for Momax, i bought it on eBay for USD$11.99 and i must say i am happy with the purchase. The TPU is thinner than the Case-Mate Gelli Case and there's holes which didn't show up on the Case-Mate. It fits the Sensation nicely and most of the time i am using the Momax case compared to the other 2 Case-Mate cases.
As i am a user who have not posted anything before, i am not allowed to post the URL for Momax casing. Do a search at eBay for ioomobile.
I found my cheap silicone case works really well, even with the phone residing in my pocket most of the time (No screen protector)
Do find I clean my screen most nights as it does get dirty throughout the day
Got it from amazon uk for £2.00 (Cant find the actual product though)
Loving my smoke grey TPU case. Highly recommended.

+1 for the TPU case. I've got the black one and it really ads very minimal bulk with a lot more peace of mind for protection.
I've got this Incipio case and I LOVE it. It's a TPU style, with a matte finish so it's not tacky in your pocket nor does it get oily/fingerprints. I also pushed my phone off of my desk the other day and it landed square on its face. The case lip kept the screen from getting f**ked.
