It looks like they've got a decent amount of Nexus stuff.
http://www.fommy.com/accessories.asp?make=Google&model=Google+Nexus+One+PB99100&cat=Cases
Personally, I'm waiting for incipio
http://www.myincipio.com/category/google_nexus_one_cases/
or
Seidio
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/4025.htm
This is what I went with for mine:
Crystal Skin
Should be similar to the ones that were popular with the myTouch / Magic. The resin TPU ones.
And for screen protectors I will see if these are any good. Seems to be an invisible shield / BSE clone.
As long as they hold up until more accessories become available I'm fine.
I don't think the cases from fommy are good because some of the cases block the proximity sensor on the phone.
I've had the resin TPU one on my magic for quite some time, and its the best I have ever used. It doesnt add alot of weight to the phone, and lso one of the easiest to install.
I really hope somebody comes out with a carbon fiber case, that would be sweet.
I am getting the privacy screen protector from Fommy and I'll post back my findings on the sucker.
It'll be cool if moshi comes out w/ something. My friend has one for her iphone and it looks sweet! It is very stream-lined and doesn't make your phone any fatter. I typically hate cases. However, I think what moshi has looks pretty sweet.

That skin looks pretty cool. Care to share any pics of it installed onto your phone when you have a moment?
I know in the past people were saying that magnetic closures messed up the G1's compass over time. Is that turning out to be true? I would think the N1 and any other phone with a compass would suffer the same fate if that is the truth. I like having my compass..
I bought the Ferrari car charger from that site. I ain't get it yet but when I will, ill post a review.
never order from fommy! i had the worst experience with them. i ordered the screen protector and the clear case (both were pre-order).. and also another screen protector for my N97.. later realized they didnt have the cheapest deals.. wanted to cancel the order the same day i ordered them. called customer service, noone picked up. tried a hundred times.. emailed them as well to no avail. come monday, i get a confirmation email that one of the items was shipped. argh! finally after calling nonstop, a customer rep finally picked up. I can only be refunded for the two items that hasn't shipped yet.

Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience with fommy. I on the other hand had no problem with the site. I had no problem calling them and asking them and speaking to a representative.
What about the battery they have...That doesnt look like the right battery! It says it fits 3-4 phones....Dosent look right...What do yall think?
Be very careful ordering from Fommy
Anyone with a few minutes should take a look at this forum thread. It is a long thread and I don't expect anyone to read it all. The bottom line is Fommy does not have much of a credibility when it comes to their salespeople.

Amzer and Fommy.com are joke retailers in my opinion. I ordered a case from them, a hard case, which in the pictures on their site showed that it covered the front bottom portion of the phone completely around the trackball. It looked great in the pic as it showed it protected every exposed area of the phone except the screen and trackball. They charged $17 + 5 shipping which I though was a bit high for a hard case but since it covered the whole phone I thought it was worth it. After waiting 2 weeks for delivery what I got was totally different than what was pictured. It's a hard case that covers only the outer front edge of the phone like a crystal case. Not worth more than five dollars on eBay. I went back on there site and noticed that the small image of the case still looks like what i thought I was ordering but if you hover your mouse over the image a larger image appears that is totally different than the smaller. This image was changed after the day I ordered at some point. I talked to a CSR (Fommy.com) and they had no idea what i was talking about and said they would need to look into it and get back to me, that was a week ago. I e mailed Amzer about it and they never responded back (Partner site). The customer service rep did say i could ship it back at my expense. WTF. Theives and con-artists. Do yourself a favor and don't deal with them. Pass it along.
Add cheapnexusone.com to that list.
Good for us to know about these bad sites! thanks
There's another thread like this as well. I posted on there on my experience. The best way to get in touch with them is during the day on the IM on their site to get ANYTHING done. Emails go unanswered.
Strange.. I ordered an Amzer Argyll case from them and it arrived within 5 days and was perfect..
well i just ordered "the diamond" case yesterday from ultra-cases.com, i will let you guys know how it goes.
I got the Case-Mate POP Case from AT&T. My phone comes Monday, so my options for picking up a case local were limited.
It seems to be well made. I wasn't thrilled about the ~$30 price tag though.
They also sell the Incipio Silver/Black DualPro Shine but I didn't get to see it in person.

Did you actually pick up at local store? I am curious to know about the case because I need a case and don't want to wait few weeks for a decent case to hip and come in the mail but not a lot of options around.
My concerns with the case is how sturdy the kickstand feels nd does it come with screen protector.
Yes, I picked it up at a local store. Only two in the area had stock according to the online inventory.
The kickstand is kind of flimsy, but I think it'll do the job.
It did not come with a screen protector.
I purchased the case mate pop case and installed it on my note edge and it fits perfectly:good:
Excellent. My phone has been delivered and I can't wait to try it. I'm currently stuck at work. Boo
Got the case on. I think it is an amazing case and the fit is very nice. The phone is much more grippy.
With the exception of the wussy kickstand, it is almost perfect.

Got it last night and I completely agree.
It is thin, protective, the side grips are great and the kickstand is an added bonus.
So far, so good.

I agree also. I started with the Samsung flip case but stopped in to the store today to get a screen protector and noticed the Pop case. I swapped the flip case for it. It looks awesome and now I finally feel like the phone is protected and complete. I have the UAG case coming, but not sure it is going to beat the Case-Mate honestly.
A couple of pics for those on the fence about ordering it.
Does the phone fit into a Samsung dock with the case on?
I don't have the dock but if the dock is form-fitting to the Edge's profile...then I doubt it.

I looked at it at an AT&T store, even trying it on my phone, but my only concern was how far the S-Pen ends up buried in that case. The opening to get a finger in to remove the S-Pen is quite small. I was unable to get it out at all. Do any of you have a similar experience?

With the groove on the metal of the s-pen, I'm easily able to pull it out w my fingernail.
It is in there good, though, but that groove makes it completely fine.

You know what, I hate lazy customer service and usless people. I went into an at&t store on friday when I got my phone. They said they had an edge demo but no products. On a whim today, I did a search for store availability on the at&t site for this very case, no less thgan 4 said the case was in store. I went to the nearest one (the same one thgat said they had nothing on friday). I showed them the internet site for at&t that said the case was there. The guy checked in the back and said: nope, no case. I said your store locator said you do. He obliged me and sasd let me check one more place.
Under the samsung phones in a covered drawer were 3 freaking cases. 3! I could have had this on friday. I say all this to say if at&T says they don't have it, and the internet says they do, make thgem actually look.

honestly, at first i thought for $30 i was getting hosed. it fees really flimsy out of the box. however, when i put it on the phone is fit like a glove and made the over all grip more solid in the hand. its like suction. i see no reason to ever buy a case for these high-end phones with killer screens and NOT have a kickstand for movies/youtube. therefore, i will stick with it until i have to get a new kickstand. so for now i would reccomend it.
If anyone has an old holster for the otterbox note 2 or 3, can u check and see if this fits in it.
I read the incipio case does, but I would prefer this case for the kickstand feature
Has anyone seen this case in white or only black?

I had the same EXACT problem at the store I visited. Went in was greeted, and told someone would be right with me. I went ahead to look at the cases, a guy came up and asked what I needed. I told him and he said nope we don't have them. I told him it said they did online, he said he would look in the back because they did get a shipment earlier. Well he must have gone in the back and just twiddled his thumbs. So I go back to looking for myself and lo and behold they had the smart folio. I moved to another display and they had the incipio case. I tired it but didn't like it and then flagged another salesperson down to say I know you have the casemate one because it says so online please go find it. and he did. Why do I have to inform them of what they have? SIGH

It would say it is the store. I called the ATT store today and asked them if they had the Case-Mate POP in stock, they put me on-hold, came back said they found it and would put it aside for me until I got there. Drove there 30 minutes later. They brought it out paid for it and was out of the store in less than 10 minutes.
The one I have is mostly black with dark grey on the sides. Fits perfectly. Now I'm just waiting on the Screen Protector.

The AT&T screen protector by Invisishield is actually pretty good. I usually stay away from Zagg-type protectors due to the rubbery, sticky feel. But this one is a definite step up. Plus it installed with no bubbles and can't even tell it's there!

So.. I noticed I happened to scratch mine on the screen. I have no clue how and when it happened. Just noticed it. I did not have any protection for the screen. Never had them in the past. I did have a case though that lifts the screen up when placed facing down. I also never place my phone with the screen facing down. So I am assuming it happened somewhere else.
Since I bought it from Samsung directly, we have 30 days of free premium care support. Turns out that is through Assurant and they pretty much denied coverage on my device first saying it was not covered. When pressed they said they would cover it but I'd have to pay $99 for a replacement device AND that replacement device COULD be a factory refurbished device.
All bad news.. So I am deciding to return the phone back to Samsung since I am within my 14 days. The scratch is small enough and won't jump out on you... and you can't even see it if the screen is on.
Anyone with a similar experience?
:silly:
I doubt you'll find anyone willing to openly admit to also being as petty as what you've described above. How long do you think you'll keep up this game of exploiting (purchase, damage, return & repeat) before considering adequate protection to combat the OCD?!

You scratched it and think you are entitled to a brand new phone for FREE?
What are you 12?
This is whats wrong with America these days folks.. smh.
My firend out right cracked his S8+, filed a claim, paid $99 and got brand new device
This early in the game, they won't have refurbished units - in a month or so probably yeah
Side note, my wife dropped hers from about 3 ft and it has a scuff on the screen - noticeable but nothing horrible. Slapped a screen protector on it and all is good again. Gorilla Glass 5 is definitely a joke cause they claim should be good from higher distance
The feeling of entitlement these days is down right ridiculous.

What about the restocking fee are you not worried they might take more than 15% because of the damage?
Wow. The replies reflect how immature many of you are. You really think Samsung will take a scratched screen back without slapping a fee for it? When I called them to return it, I TOLD THEM IT WAS SCRATCHED. Since I'm within the 14 days and the scratch is small, they said they'll take it but may charge me a little.
I just didn't think it was fair for assurant to charge me $99 for what could possibly be a refurbished device when I'm supposedly enrolled in an insurance program.
Smh
Anyway. The post is more about how easily the screen scratches. I'd rather pay more and get a perfect phone than live with a scratched screen. I remember my first iPhone 6. that I had bought and my kid scratched it. Apple replaced it for a brand new one since it was only 3 days old.

I think you pay for return shipping also. Then you get to wait for them to process the refund. That tiny scratch costs you almost $150 if you consider time and shipping/insurance.
But have you guys scratched your phone too? I don't mind a case. Just don't like them screen protectors that much. It beats the purpose imo

just opened mine yesterday. I kept the film on there was on, and added more tape to make sure i wont get scratches.
I am waiting on screen protectors for back and front
So I returned my S8 to the store and it happened to have a very very faint small scratch on the screen even though I was careful with it and never rubbed it against anything. I don't know how it got there or if it was on it when I opened the box. BB didn't care though, and I returned it cause I was having other issues with the device. My new one came with a screen protector on it (t-mobile version) that didn't have any print on the protector so I've just left it there and you can't even tell lol. But I did find one screen protector I bought that had good reviews. Link here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XV9X72L/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

So let me get this...according to your logic it is ok for samsung to sell phones with the worst glass quality ever? There are complaints all over the place regarding the fact that S8 scratches very easy comparing to any other previous version. I also experience issues with this poor gorilla glass 5...having scratched the display after only 2 weeks although I was being extremely careful with the device. We are all having just bad luck? I doubt it.
I'm sure that the only solution is to have a class action lawsuit against Samsung...otherwise their answer will always be that it's the consumer's fault. Unfortunately it doesn't explode like the Note 7 in order to draw so much attention and force Samsung to admit the problem.
I just noticed a giant scratch on front screen. Phone owned less than 1 month never dropped and never mingled together with hard items like keys. This seems almost impossible. I've owned a smartphone since iPhone 4 and I've never seen a phone scratch this fast for no reason.
Corning has some explaining to do as I believe they are fully responsible. They have taken an easy piggyback ride on the smartphone industry and have advanced beyond their wildest dreams because of it. Now it's 2017 and they are releasing products which do not meet standards.
I totally agree. Corning and Samsung must give an explanation about the scratch resistance of the glass they have put on the S8. I never had problems with scratches on my Samsung devices since gorilla glass 3. What happened this year? Is it a mistake of Corning or Samsung? Do other devices with gorilla glass 5 scratch so easily? I personally bought an ultra thin case (it's the first time i put a case) just to prevent any more scratches.
They made gorilla glass 5 softer to make it more shatter resistant which in fault causes it to scratch easier.
Harder glass= more shatter/less scratches
Softer glass = reduction in shatter/ more scratches.
Going to get the display replaced sometime this week from ubreakifix.
Has anyone else cracked their 3a and had it repaired?
when you get your phone back, put one of these on it https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RWM29DL/
just like with every phone, you should be using a tempered glass screen protector.
Sucks besides the temp glass protection, get a case.

ubreakifix work was impeccable, no way to notice it's been replaced. $120 Canadian and 30 min. I'm pretty much sure they source displays from manufacturer.
Good to hear from someone who got theirs repaired there. I gave them a call and they said that for all Google products they get all parts direct from Google.
I would normally repair this myself but being my main phone and something I just bought a couple of months ago, I didn't want to mess with it.
I am definitely ordering a good screen protector immediately and not waiting.

Is the replacement screen a samsung panel or a tianma panel?
dropped mine over laborday... ordered a replacement from Fixez.com... came quickly and is a samsung panel. replaced it myself, but they sticky they sent was cut wrong and too thick, so its not quite as flush as it was. might go by ubreak and see if they can help me out. works fine for now though
