I'm looking for a vertical soft pouch/case/sleeve that will fully cover the G2. The main reason that I want one is to keep pocket lint and such from getting in the keyboard/grill/etc, and I'm not able to find one that FULLY covers the G2.
Something similar to the oem G1 neoprene case, except with maybe a magnetic lid on the top would be really nice.
I ordered this one

The G1 case works perfectly, I received my [email protected] today it started using my G1 slip case immediately.
Any other protective cases out for the g2 yet?
I'm using the Nexus One's.
Tmobile actually sells a nice gel case for the G2 that feels good in your hands and makes the phone a little thicker but not too bulky. It doesn't have a belt clip and its rather nice. It goes for 16.99.

Just bought one of these: http://www.builtny.com/phone-sleeve-prod.html
I'm using the sleeve that came with my nexus right now, but it's not a very good fit. Hopefully this sleeve works well. BuiltNY is TOP quality!
That one listed there is for the iphone, will it fit the g2?

Good question. Most pouches are large enough to fit any phone that isn't ridiculously huge, though.
BTW, LS-VTEC CRX here, boost soon. Fun little gas-sipper
I used a friends N1 case, it was way too tight. Have to find someone with a G1 case to try it out before buying.
The case that shipped with the G1 is an absolutely perfect fit (probably better than on the G1, since the G2 doesn't have the lip)

I beg to differ. I use my n1 case for my g2 and it is just as nice a fit as the n1, I just had to stretch it a wee bit by shoving my brothers Samsung Epic in there over night

I'm using my G1 case which fits the G2 PERFECTLY. the slits at the top side of the pouch is perfect for the USB port too, granted charging the phone in the pouch isnt the greatest idea since it will get pretty warm.
Hmm looks like I'll give the N1 case stretching a shot, if not G1 case.

Yea your right when I get home I'll compare the size of my ipod touch to my G2, it should give me at least some kind of idea as to how the case should fit
Nice boosted ls's are capable of nasty things, I currently own a 07 si sedan and I'm loving it.

Does anyone know if the leather pouch that the Touch Pro 2 came in would fit the G2? It looks about the same size.

Yeah its a poor mans b18c5 really, all ITR spec stuff EXCEPT forged parts and the block is a b18b. Crank, head, etc is all b18c5. Aiming for 500whp on premium. Should be "too much" for street use and I'll probably use a ebc to tune it down to 300-400 during daily driving.
Here is is months ago, granny-shifting and untuned: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bp3aD3rBJ4
Has been tuned since and now that I have a better video camera should re-record.
I still have my G1 case somewhere so will give that a try.

Just got my pouch in from BuiltNY(the one I posted about earlier) and it fits perfectly. Way nicer than my Nexus One case, and a little thicker material too. I'll post up a few pictures when I get home tonight.
It seems pricey, but it's soooo worth the quality. It's basically and over-engineered nexus one case. Which is exactly what I was looking for.
I can also confirm that the G1 case works perfectly for the G2

I've been using mine for about a month and a half. Its great. Love that it covers all the ports. But its slipped out of my hands numerous times. Wish it came with a holster.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
fast review of this case:
good, solid design. love the inside rubber lining on the back cover.
outside material really slick, it has slipped out my hands numerous times. got some nice "wear and tear" marks because of this.
coupled with good screen protector i got a brick i can throw at someones head and knock em out.
pain in the ass to take off to use game gripper.
front cover does not feel like it will last forever as the clips are thin and crappy.
8/10
the rubber/hardcase combo from case-mate for nexus one is my gold standard for cell phone cases.
I'm looking for an armband type case for my Desire HTC to use when out running or on the bike. I want to take the phone for emergency's and also because i use SportyPal to track my route, etc.
I don't really want to pay a lot, under £10 would be perfect.
I've had a look around and found one on the auction side for that kind of money but no others. Any body got any recommendations?
Also wondering if there is a different phone of a similar size that has more and would be compatible with the Desire HD
Cheers
Carl
Well, the HTC HD2 and the EVO 4G have nearly identical dimensions.
So anything for those two should work with the Desire HD.
I'm also in the market for something like this but I haven't looked for anything yet.
I use an armband that I got when I owned an ipod touch, I no longer have the ipod, but my desire hd fits in the armband perfectly, only cost a fiver from ebay too

i just got my TuneBelt AB83 this afternoon, i only purchased it as we are theme park freaks and ive lost a few phone on nemesis at alton towers.
the armband is actually very good, and comfy to use, the suprise for me was the touchscreen still works when in the case.
it has the holes on the bottom as well for your headphones, but it takes a bit of effort to make it sit correctly in the case.
it is rather expensive for what it is, and im sure a couple of months down the road it will be a lot cheaper, but it still works out cheaper than looseing another phone.

Thanks for the tip. I've ordered the same one from another UK-seller. Hope to receive it within a few days and post my findings here.
I used my iPod touch arm band for a while, but the phone was too big and would stick out a bit and was very tight! Not a problem in the summer, but when it rains the phone gets wet.
I've ordered a tunebelt from amazon to replace it. Can't see how the phone will fit in an iPhone case, as the size is wrong

Well, I received this APPLE IPHONE 3GS 3G BLUE SPORT ARMBAND and as promised, here are my findings:
Pro's:
- The DHD fits snugly into the pouch, the width perfect.
- The On/Off-switch, headphone jack and micro-usb port are easily accessible through the open parts of the pouch.
- It looks pretty decent.
Cons:
- The Volume-Up/Down buttons are not accessible through a hole in the pouch. It's quite difficult to operate these buttons and because of the snug fit, it's easy to accidentally push one or both the volume buttons. I'm considering to cut into the fabric to make these buttons accessible, but am afraid that this might destroy the pouch altogether.
- The height of the DHD fits into the pouch, but since this armband is designed for a slightly smaller phone, the top of the screen (notification bar) is difficult to read/pull down.
- There seems to be some excess glue on the inside of the pouch and this transfers to the sides of my DHD so I have had to wipe my DHD clean a few times.
TuneBelt AB83
Anyone bought this?
Yes, i have. I use it with a Casemate Barely-there. It's a tight fit, but perfectly usable.
I use it for running.
yes the AB83 was the one i bought
wife tried it lastnight said it did its job well
held the cable out of the way, held the phone securely so yeah recommended
Sorry for yet another thread on cases, was wondering if anyone has found a G2 case with a kickstand other than the clear and black ones by the OEM. I've had the black one for a few months and the case to the front has already broken. Stand is kind of a dealbreaker for me as my phone's been my main source of entertainment the last month or so (my apartment was robbed of tv, computer etc and I'm still saving up for replacements).

geeze man, I really do feel for you and I hope everything in the future goes well. But with the case, I would look on eBay, and or Amazon if you haven't yet. There always seems to be more stuff on those sites. I thought I saw a body glove case with a stand, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Deadbolt didn't do anything

From the pictures on the site, the feather looks exactly the same except the bottom part looks like it wraps around a bit further and the top has an extra piece that covers the middle section between the headphone jack and the power button.
Just ordered a feather. Will report back when I get it.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Just got my feather in and I can tell you that there is a reason they don't show you what it looks like directly from the front. The case is much thicker than they would lead you to believe and is pretty damn ugly when it's on. I will never use this case.
^dang sorry to hear that
Well Im going get mine in the mail soon so I guess I know what to expect

It is almost flush with the camera lens, MAYBE a little bit thicker. If you lay the phone down on its back it definitely does keep the camera lens off the table, there is like a .5mm gap that I can see through. So yes, but not by much.

Got mine today. A bit pricy imo, I try to not spend more than $10 on a case. Keeps the thin profile and the material actually makes the phone easier to grip. I like the fact that the front portion is flushed with the phone(not good for ppl who like putting their phones face down). Probably gonna be switching between this case and the Amzer case. Really liking it.

Edit: Just purchased the Black Feather for my white HOX
I bought the Incipio feather in gray for my white HOX and I like the grippy/rubbery feel to the back. It's not my favorite case but I can definitely see me rocking it from time to time.

Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
They don't have a white case and I couldn't decide between buying the gray or the black for my white HOX. Finally settled on getting the gray one (I figured it didn't really matter since I'm planning on having a few cases sitting around to swap as my mood changes).
I've never been a huge fan of any soft plastc/silicone since they are huge dust and hair magnets. I have a jack russell and this thing loves to attract hair and pet dander.
So I received my Nexus 4 Bumper today. I was using the Ringke Slim case which was a defective because of the warping of the side near the volume button. Also today I received the replacement for the slim case so I decided to make a faceplate to add onto the bumper. The back is nice with its patterned dots but for now I am going for protection until there are better screen protectors out there.
Decided to cut the defective case to be a faceplate for the back of my phone. Still experimenting how much to cut the side but this is what I have. Some problems so far is that it gives it an extra thickness to what Google originally had for the bumper. So when holding the phone on the edge it has this popping feel. If I cut more of the side of the case this might eliminate the problem. You still get the lipped edge around the screen. Buttons still work but I didn't get the nice satisfying click. But I will work with the sides of the faceplate again
Thought I would share this even though it might seem useless a bit
Make sure Apple doesnt steal this design:beer:

Well I was experimenting with it too much and cut the case where it doesn't fit as nicely compared to before. You need some kind of edge around so it doesn't simply fall out of the bumper. Just experiment as you go and place the faceplate then your phone in
Interesting.... and looks very nice to the very least haha. I would totally buy this if it was a case
sounds like a plan
