Hi,
There has been a lack of leather pouches for the Nexus One.
I Just found some really good one from ebay: -

Why don't these cases cover the top of the phone! Is there like a reason for this?! I mean seriously, the phone can fall out, you can drop it on its top, what would make them leave the top part of the phone un-protected and cover the rest of it -_-'

I guess you can see the upper part of the phone so you can take it out with your fingers.
The pouch is only on the phone when you are not using it i.e. pocket, handbag & anyway when you are not using it what the % anyway the chance that its going fall on the upper visible side of the phone.

the only concern is that the pouch has a magnetics...which might mess up you compass.

I don't think the magnet is strong enough to mess up the compass

Sorry too junior to post a link but what about the pull-tab leather holster from shop.brando.com ( use find product on the home page ).

magnets will screw with your compass. I had an N1 holster with magnetic
lid closure. I tested first. Started with the compass app on, with the phone
front of me like normal and held the holster at arms length, and slowly brought
it closer. At about 2 1/2 ft, the compass needle started deflecting, and got
much worse as I brought the holster closer. Got my money back.

I've also had two of my bank payments cards destroyed by magnets on the phone-holster....The magnet-stripe on the cards couldn't take it when I accidently put the phone and card in same pocket....
(of course the chip on the cards is more widely used now, instead of the stripe, but...)

What is wrong with it specifically? How is the quality and fit?
I'm looking for a nicer case than the stock one, mostly to protect it from my keys. I don't really mind if the compass doesn't work when I'm not using the phone.
If this isn't it, does anyone else have a recommendation for a quality N1 case under $40?

I want a real friggin' pouch with leather carved of Virginian grown cows with the Android logo iron-burned into the leather and smooth innside lining.. I would pay top $$$ for one.
None of that fake syntethic leather stuff.. i want to spoil my Nexus..
Somthing like this: http://www.senacases.com/google/htc-google-nexus-one-cases/

I ordered http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000884&products_id=28053
Looks classy and nice, even though it won't have a flip i hope it will fit it tight enough. Still, i want a cow pouch and would kill for one..

I have the sena flip case with the magnets. It does not affect the compass when the flip part of it is open or flipped backwards under the phone. If you go to flip it closed the needle will twirl as you pass the magnets over the top of the phone. That's the only time though. Nothing while it's in the case.
I hated the case at first. Couldn't grab the pull down bar at the top of the phone. After breaking it in for a week it was no problem.

I've always liked Sena cases. VERY high quality stuff. I two in the past, one for my HTC 8125 and one for my Blackjack II. Never ended up getting one for my Tilt 2, though. I play on getting the Ultraslim soon for my Nexus One.

You can tell these manufacturers do not use a cell phone.
These cases NEVER have a hole for the speaker. With the nexus speaker being so low I can only imagine how those cases will muffle the sound.
I always end up cutting a hole myself, but WHY don't they do that themselves? Would be very easy for them, than we can hear ringtones and music with no problem!

Yeah it is sweet but I gave it away because I use the chrome snap-on case from Case-mate and it would fit anymore now I have to use the pouch that came with the phone which I love anyways. When it comes to the Snap-ons I've bought almost all of them even the new one from Incipio and they are all pure crap except the one from Case-mate I give it a 9/10. Also I submitted a review for that case 5 stars but for some reason they didn't accept it.

There is the original HTC pouch for the Desire. This should work great with the Nexus.

Any cases out there to accommodate an extended battery

Would like to upgrade to a 3500 but will not sacrifice the protection my active x case gives me.

Extra 5mm of battery is better protection than any case. No case will work with the extended battery. The market is too small. There is talk that one would be released thats compatible with the 2800 Yoobao battery, which is the exact same size as the 3500, but that is all talk at this point.

I'm in the same boat as you. I'm torn because I can't imagine going without a case, but it seems like we have no options at all. I emailed Seidio about a case for their extended battery and this was their reply:
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Seidioonline. Sorry we currently have no development plans for a case that would be compatible with the Innocell 3000mAh Extended Life Battery.
Your business and continued satisfaction is of great importance to us here at Seidioonline Customer Service, so feel free to contact us at (832) 204-1118 with any questions or concerns.
Thank you,

I emailed the eBay seller of the 2800 mAh battery and he said:
Sorry, it should say February 1. The case will be a TPU (a harder rubberized version that is rigid yet flexible). The material is pretty nice. It will go over the phone and the door. I will offer a combo deal, but for former customers they can get the same price separately.

So come February, we should be able to get the 2800 or 3500 mAh battery and get a case for it... however I was hoping for a Seidio case - I much prefer their battery door (or if I could just purchase the battery door separately that would work too), especially since it looks like it would still work with their holster. The battery door that comes with the 2800 and 3500 mAh batteries don't look like they'll fit in the Seidio holster.

I guess since they come with new back doors, I really just want something to protect the front. The Active X case is pretty big so maybe I can find a thinner case to just use the top on

For what it's worth I left the front portion of my Seido case on (around the screen) and just hope the extended battery case protects the back side. It doesn't make it the sleekest looking device in the world, but I figure a little protection around the screen is better than nothing.

The Epic is truly the red-headed step child of Sprint phones - no Froyo and no Seidio case for extended batteries - the EVO has both smh.

guess thats why its $50 more

This case works perfect with an extended battery. I bought two of them. Lots of padding. Great price. Find them on Android Central. I use one for my Epic 4G with the 3500 battery and the other one I use for my Nexus S.
I cut the loops off as I would rather have those cases in my pockets rather than dangling outside.

I was more looking for a housing, not a purse for my phone LOL

You may want to check the Reiko "New Fashionable Leather Horizontal Pouch Protective Carrying Cell Phone Case with Belt" - which direct from Reiko on Amazon is now very cheap compared to the price I paid. I use it with the extended battery - barely fits and have to put the screen towards the outside to get it to stay closed (magentic, so doesn't snap close, but since phone is tightly in there, it works out well to remove quickly).
Really designed as a belt clip case (horizontal) and works well that way..

Can you show us a pic of your Epic+ extended battery in that case? I bought one a while ago and I remmber it being extra tight on a naked Epic with stock battery. Does your phone go in and come out easily, or does it take some extra effort?

Attached are the photos.
For full-size images, go to http://rapatel.homeip.net:8080/photos/epic-case/
In the fill-size images, 318 and 319 show how the phone does not fit if the screen is facing inwards.
On taking it out and putting it in, it was tight at first ,but due to the hole on the bottom to push it out, it makes it really easy. Putting the phone in while seated is a challenge however (and taking it out while seated), but that was an issue even without the extended battery.

Here's an update from the seller (eBay ID "moretalktime") of the Yoobao 2800 mAh batteries (this case should also work with the 3000 and 3500 mAh batteries since they all use the same battery door)
The extended battery case moulds are nearly finished for the following models:
Samsung Vibrant, Samsung Epic, Motorola Droid X, and the HTC Evo. Here are the 3D pictures. I am emailing you to ask what color you would like so I can know approximately how many to make of each color. The options are as follows:
1) Black
2) White
3) Teal/Aqua
4) Navy
5) Red
6) Pink
7) Yellow
8) Orange
9) Green
10) Royal Blue
11) Purple
Please list your top 3 as 1), 2), 3). I will only be doing 4 colors so this is very important for getting the colors that are in the highest demand.
Cases will be $15 + $2.99 shipping. They are a high quality TPU and are virtually scratch proof even with a very sharp fingernail. I’ve tried to scratch my sample and I can’t do it with my fingernail. See the picture attached for the material called TPU1.jpg.
Thanks.

Attached is a zip containing the images he included with the email. The "sprint-2" and "sps-asm-1" images are the ones for the Epic.

I like teal/aqua and would like to purchase one but let me know which colors you decide! At this point I dont think I can be all that picky but I would really like my phone to be covered.

Me Too! Not to picky on colors, but I want a cover for my phone as well.
I've got 2 Evo's that need a case and 2 Epic 4G. All with extended batteries. (3500)

where can i get the molded battery case and have you made it in blue

Anyone bought one of these?

Has anyone bought of these covers ?

If yes, do they fit well on the phone ? and do they protect it well ?

no but nice!!!

i send them a message and asked what it was made of, and they said plastic and aluminium.
I think i'll buy one.... or 2

Wow looking nice, better than the cases i have at the moment.

May interfere with GPS signal?

the antenna is in the bottom section of the phone, so i'd think that having a metal back wouldn't make a difference.
I think i'm gonna buy one, so i'll tell everyone how it is once it arrives

I've already got a silicone case, and i've ordered 2 of the cases i linked to.
Thanks anyway though, i might get one of those sometime in the future.
i'm always changing the case im using so having more than one isn't a problem.
Also are there any videos of that case in action ?

save your money - i bought a black one and it was rubbish
getting it on was very stiff, you had to push the on button on the top much harder than normal and after a few days the aluminium unstuck from the plastic and i thre the whole lot away...

You're talking about the aluminium one right? I bought the silicone one, seems better

My Desire HD arrives in the morning, so I've just ordered a 99p silicone jobby off ebay - really not expecting much for 99p, but it should keep it nice while I do some research into the perfect case!!
I've had a hero and it's had a silicone case on it for the last 18 months - it looks pretty much like new. So who knows, maybe 99p will be enough of an investment!

The 99p/$1AUD aren't really that bad.
I bought one for my DHD when i got it in december and it's been on it ever since, it fits perfects and has protected my phone since i put it on

i have a silicon case for mine and use it when im at work, remember the phone is an aluminium shell and a screen so its pretty well protected, i use a case to protect from scratching my pretty chocolate coloured phone

Do we need cases/covers for the sensation?

Hey,
I used to be on the look out for cases for most of the smartphones I've had. Mainly to protect them, but they always managed to make the phone look ****.
I dropped my sensation the other day a work and it got scratched to buggery( The battery door that is not the screen). My work mates cracked up as they knew i liked to look after it. Some of them saying i should get a case for it , showing me their cased up iPhone 4's.
Then i found the beauty of HTC having made it a unibody construction and bought a replacement battery door from ebay for £25.
Now it looks brand new again. My work mates thought i had bought a new phone! (tards).
So now i use the scratched battery door for work and slip on the fresh one for when not.
So no point buying a case as the battery doors are so cheap. And cases/covers look ugly.

Depends if the replacement is actually OEM - I don't like buying replicas

Yes, I was worried about that, but its definitely OEM. Ill post the seller.:

Irie.

Well there are reasons why people use cases (shock absorption,...) but I agree with you. Also, I don't see why some people prefer the unibody of Desire HD/S compared to Sensation. I like it much better this way and you can make the phone different color by just replacing the back
Swyped from my HTC Sensation

I don't actually NEED a case. Having one does give me piece of mind though. Plus, if I ever do drop my phone, there's a much less chance of the screen hitting first and shattering.

The glossy black tpu case I bought does not make the sensation look ugly. It also gives me peace of mind, plus it is much cheaper than a battery door.

Arm band sport case for S4 with 7500mAh Zero Lemon battery

Hey folks, I'm looking for an arm band case plus its strap that fits my S4 which has the 7500mAh extended battery. I'd prefer something that fits perfectly or very close to it. It can be anything from plastic, rubber, neoprene or whatever... as long as it's not leather. I also have an 18 inch bicep so I can't work with a small, medium or large arm band velcro strap.... it has to be XL/around 18+".
So where can i find one that would fit my arm & for how much? I've been looking all over the net at places like ebay, amazon, newegg, etc but can't find one that would fit. Please help, thanks.
Sent from my S4 using XDA Premium

I honestly don't think they make an armband that is big enough to fit the 7500 mAh phone and battery. You may have to buy one for the regular size S4 and see if you can doctor it to make it fit securely with the extended battery.
To be honest though, I would expect your arm to get pretty tired after having the ZL battery and phone attached to it...LOL

I tried to find an arm band for the 7500mah battery too. I could not find one. I finally went with xxl arkon arm band and tried to fit my phone in it with extended battery but could only get half in. I settled with just switching back and forth with the stock battery and it works fine. I have plenty of battery life with stock battery and i stream pandora the whole time im at the gym

I'm looking for the same exact thing and am not having much luck finding anything. Even went to a local fitness shop next to work to see what they offered. The closest I could possibly find was a armband for a Note II, but the guy at the shop wouldn't let me take it out of the packaging to try it out. Said I had to buy it first and if it didn't work I could just return it. Since they were charging about $25 for the armband I thought that was a bit of an expensive experiment and walked out.
Update:
So I went to Best Buy the other weekend to look at this Armpocket - Xtreme i-30 armband: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Xtreme+...8782997061&skuId=6692013&st=armband&cp=2&lp=2
I asked the sales rep if this armband would accommodate a GS4 with an Otterbox Defender (I said Zero Lemon extended battery and they had no idea what that was). She opened up a Defender box and slid it right in. I had some store credit so I went ahead and bought it. It fits right in with the Zero Lemon 7500mAh battery and case and I could zip it completely closed for Bluetooth use or leave just enough open to plug in corded headphones. Only real issues is that the buttons (volume and home) are a little hard to get to while you're actively running, but aside from that it works great! I've used it every day since I bought it and have had absolutely no issues!

Maybe this will work?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C0O2F4S/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It is made for the Note 2, but I guess it could work to the size of the S4
with a large case?
For less than $8 bucks I might send for it and try.

Such a large volume of course very much. However inconvenient to carry.

Any luck in finding a case that works for you? I bought this from Best Buy and it works great: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Xtreme+i...band&cp=2&lp=2
I left an update on my original comment.
