I was looking for a case for my nexus, preferably hardshell, and saw the incase for the iPhone. I really like the style and look and was wondering if anyone had come accross anything similar for the nexus? If so any pics?
The nexus is a brand new phone so there is really not that much of a choice as far as accessories goes. There is a high demand for cases for this phone. Give it some time and company's will be coming out with the cases we are looking for. At the mean time check out some of the other threads to see what is available to us.
Hey my friends. Long time follower, first time poster (starting a post that is). I have a question. I recently watched this video and I'm wondering which armband this guy is using. I asked him in the video comment box and I didn't get a response so I figured I'd start a post here.
Theres the video. Now, I tried comparing this one with these next two links but they didn't look the same to me. These two are the only two armbands that i've seen for the nexus one. From the front of the armband that this guy is using it does look like a tuneband, however the straps don't look the same. If it is one of these two armbands in the link below, let me know.

2. http://www.amazon.com/iArmBands-Arm...Phones/dp/B0017KCZWI/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
Any help would be appreciated.
I saw that one at best buy. The brand is called Rocketfish and it's made for the iphone.

I'm glad I could help
I bought the tuneband tonight. Could someone please tell me how long it takes to ship. I picked 3-5 days but I did that for my case mate tough case and it showed up 2 days later. I can't wait to start using the tune belt. Peace
Head over to daydeal.com they have some accessories even a TV out cord that says its for the incredible and g2 ( anyone got extra cash to buy it and see if it works? ) I ordered this clear case with a kickstand I'll put a review when i get it. But take a look. Not much of a selection but might as well be prepared
have no plans of making a fat phone fatter. maybe an invisible shield or BSE but no hard case for me.
Hate to say it, but I don't think we'll be seeing much accessories for this phone. Due to it being a Tmobile phone only, I just don't see many making products for it.
Im gonna get something to protect the back cuz it looks like it gets scratched easily

aluminum scratches. alot. especially if its chrome plated. might just get a back cover. screen looks durable.
I'll probably just keep my eye on decalgirl.com and wait for them to release some of their awesome quality skins. I've used their product on all my handheld portable devices that they make skins for.

Oh man, decalgirl.com has been out for years. I remember getting a decal for my original XBOX 360 from them when I first got it. Top notch stuff from them!

I doubt only being for tmobile will make it have less accessories. I have so many cases and such for my nexus and the nexus was mostly used on tmobile but now they have it across seas. The iPhones an at&t only phone and it has too many accessories. And to ditto what he said there is also the desire z

I understand that the Desire Z will be out as well, and that still means nothing. All those cases you speak of for the Nexus One are cheap cases found on eBay, or made by some cheap China company. I know because I own a Nexus One as well, and it took a while to find a great case for it.
Also, to compare the new G2 to an iPhone is just stupid. iPhone carries the name, and has been around for years. Of course there's a ton of crap for it. Heck the G2 won't even come near to selling a quarter of what the iPhone, nor will it come close to what the Galaxy S has for that matter.
All I'm saying is that we won't see the nicer accessories made by the better companies make product for this phone. We're just gonna get stuck with those cheap ebay crap.

Uhh Seidio? The made cases for the N1 almost instantly. That is not a cheap case at all. I know cause I had a holster combo from them.......

You can't really blame them. In a business perspective making accessories for the iphone is the most profitable since iphone is, in a sense, dumbed down for the masses. Right now I think Apple and Blackberry combined own at least 50% market share. So unless Android can somehow bring their share of the smartphone market up another 10%, I doubt accessory manufacturers will see accessories for Android devices as a primary source of revenue.
Android devices are made for geeks like us who like to customize instead of having things already premade for us. So I'm sure this aspect will appeal to more and more people in the near future. And from what I've seen, HTC has brilliant marketing campaigns. I'm sure in around 3 or 4 more quarters android will have a much better standing in the smartphone market and more accessories will be made. Just my 2 cents.

I just contacted DecalGirl and they said that the phone is scheduled for R&D for their products. They seem to have a pretty quick turnaround once they have a template made for a device.
i have a 99 cent silicon case for my nexus one which came with a free screen protector. they work great, and have kept my phone flawless.... so cheap ebay stuff works just fine for me.
I'm going to miss my Nexus One's foam pouch.
Anyone seen something like that for the G2 yet?

You shoulda kept the N1 pouch...the G2 fits pretty good in it! Snug, but good enough for me until I get some protection for the thing.

yea I received it today in the mail and just got my phone about an hour ago. Right now I'm restoring apps so after that I'll make a video off my nexus and put it on youtube
Just found this on ebay and was wondering if anyone had any experience with it, looks to be able to charge a battery plus charge the phone.

**** is http or ebay id 270660659810
I don't really think this thing worth 24 buck....
this is almost exactly what i want just not so cheap looking
Hmmm...if I don't see or hear of anything better soon I'm getting that.
I hadn't seen anything that wasn't homemade although I cannot argue about the looks of it. But for an easy charging system it looks good and will charge another battery as well.
It looks pretty cool. I almost want one. But it does look a bit cheap. Good find though!
Anyone know any good sports armband to hold my galaxy while i'm jogging ?
I've looked at google/ebay and found only universal cheap stuff that doesn't look all that great.
I simply want something to hold the galaxy (which I play music from and use apps for sports), protect it from damage and sweat and allow me to use its functions.
IPhone ones will work

Really ?! Any iphone armband ? Headphone's hole in the same place for iphone 4 and Galaxy ?
In that case i'll go for pro armbands, marware and such i guess...
Will be glad to hear input from people who tried it.
Search for the existing thread on this topic in this forum, there are several good suggestions there (I posted one that is specifically made for the SGS and very good).

I've looked through the forums. If I remember right, you recommended the iGatdgitz one. I've been going through the net for hours looking for this and the Vangoddy one but found it nowhere in stock.
I am still wondering whether every iphone4 armband will fit. Usually quality companies create stuff for them and if that's true then it's probably the best solution.

Iphone4 armbands won't fit, the dimensions are slightly off. Iphone 3GS ones on the other hand will, I use a generic iphone 3GS armband and it works like a charm.
i ve got one for iphone. sgs is slightly longer, but in practice i am really satisfied...
google for "SportWrap Armband"
br
There you go:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Sports-Gym-Jogg..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item20b7ce1905
If the iPhone 3G armbands fit there are probably some very good ones out there as others have suggested, certainly would be worth looking into also.
I will order this one:
h**p://w*w.amazon.co.uk/Navitech-Neoprene-Resistant-Jogging-Reflection/dp/B00486SH3Y/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1300140440&sr=8-3
It's simple, and I think it will fits perfect!
http://www.igadgitz.com/products/fi...-samsung-galaxy-s-i9000-android-smartpho.html
Fits the phone like a glove but strap can be too short if you have big arms.
IF you get an iphone one, just make sure the material can stretch a bit. (They usually do)
Is the igadgitz too bulky, looks like I would get very sweaty in it?
I have looked everywhere for the miCoach one but that appears impossible to get in Australia without paying more then the armbands total value..
