Thinking of getting this case for my G2. Has anyone tried it out. If so, how is it (snug fit, any problems opening and closing phone)? thanks.
So I decided to get the Mobi Case. I had the original T-mobile gel case, I gotta say I like this one much better. I had problems with my G2 opening really easily with the gel case and problem solved.
here's a few pics

I thought about getting this case but I wasn't sure. Does it fit snug? For some reason I was worried about it scratching any of the soft parts. I really love the way the g2 looks naked (haha). How much was it and where did you get it from?

I have to agree with you I also like to see my G2 bare some skin, hell that's one of the main reasons I bought this phone. The case is quite snug on the phone. I didn't have a problem with it scratching either. But after a day of use, I have noticed some scuffs on the body part of the case (from setting it down). I got it with tax, shipping and 10% off for $17.60 @ the Android Central Store.

Cheapest i've found.
Its a decent case...more protective then it looks, I've had it for a few months now

I appreicate the feed back. I almost went with htc's version of the clear case but it doesn't cover the trackpad area like this one. I think ill go for it. I have the hard rubberized T-Mobile version which I think is awesome for the protection, and the price. (17.99 I think). Also, with any clear case there are going to have those scuffs regardless. Im still waiting on otterbox to make a case. I figured they would considering they made one for the mytouch slide Thanks though!

I love the looks of it but... don't you lose the grippyness (if thats even a word, lol) with that case opposed to the popular OEM gel skin?
I dont feel like you lose grip at all. Waiting for my new one to come in.

There is still some grippiness but not as much as with a rubberized case. Its still a decent amount though.

UPDATE: Well after about 8 months of only using this case, one of the clips that hold the case on (on the battery end) has broken off. I guess that's expected after taking it on and off who knows how many times. I gotta say, I definitely got my $17 out of this case and will probably buy another one just like it to replace this one.

Any Idea's of where to find them? i had one with my G1 and loved it.
same i want one but body glove dont make it yet.. hopefully they do soon
Best cases out there are the naked cases by case mate don't know if they plan to make one for nexus or not sure hope so. Hate not having any protection at all!
I had a body glove case for my MyTouch and it broke within about 4 days. Was really disappointed I paid $20 for that thing =\
Any hardcore protection case would be nice at this point. This slide in case that came with the phone just ain't cutting it.
^agree, I need a metal case to protect this work of Art!

If your MyTouch went unscathed from whatever broke teh body glove case then you should not be dissapointed as you did not break the phone. While it should not be a one-time thing, the case may have protected the phone as intended.

The part that latches on to the belt ripped, wasn't from a drop or anything like that.
Great looking Case! - but it's only a tease for now
I came across this site that makes some really *SLICK* cases for the ....other phone....
too bad, but maybe when N1 hits a few million sold, they will do a similar design for the N1.

Yeah those are very nice. However, they appear to be hardcore Apple. But maybe if they got enough Email requesting they would consider?
That case is soooo perfect I want one so bad.. I sent them a message via contact us telling them they should make one for the nexus one and I also sent them a link to this thread everyone that would like one should definitely send them a message

I ain't going to lie. i've went through two body glove cases on my G1 and both broke the same way. The little plastic clips the held the case to my phone snapped off after time. As far as protection goes the case did a good job quite well and body glove has proven to me that they are good phone protectors. They just need to get better in other little areas.
Hey everyone,
I've been shocked to see only Google's Nexus One came with a cute android pouch while the other phones, well... didn't come with one.
My friend has a G2 and I want to get her a pouch as a small gift. I found one on eBay but not sure if the material is similar to the N1's pouch. Can anyone confirm?
LINK: (darn, I can't post links yet) (but its only ebay)
and do you think I can add stitchings to the pouch? Is there, perhaps, a site that offers android pouches as well as stitchings?
Thank you in advance
The mytouch has pouches too

I use this case from Proporta:

I actually originally bought it for my Nokia N95, and it's such a universal size that it even fits my G2! It's made of leather and has a nice felt (or something like it) lining inside to keep the phone from scratches and stuff. I've dropped this phone and my N95 while in the case quite a few times and it's saved the phone from getting scratched or dinged. I really love the thing a lot, and it comes in nice colors too. Here's a picture of my G2 in it:

Ohh thanks for the picture!
I use the pouch that came with my old G1.
Second. Using my G1 pouch; the G2 fits perfectly (thinner, but the wider profile picks up the slack), and it's a little badge for those who've been with Android since the beginning.
I have one from my camera I'm using. I used to hide other stuff in it before but its good for the phone.

Using my G1 case too, perfect fit.
There are 2 pouches on this website: http://shop.htcpedia.com/t-mobile-g2/accessories/cases/pocket-pouches.html I like the HTC one.
I've ordered from them and they ship really fast, my package was shipped on a Tuesday from NY and got delivered here in IL on Thursday.
G1 pouch for the win.

Sweet, you're right. Gonna wait for my knock off nexus one pouches from Hong Kong first. If they sucks, I'll grab one of these.
I use the pouch that came with my n1. the phone got stolen, but the case lives on.
I would highly recommend the official HTC Desire Z slip pouch. It's amazing, minimal, and protects the phone really well. I had an issue with the color of the rubber portion of the phone changing color from using a black case, but this HTC pouch has a light gray cloth interior (and black leather exterior) which has not compromised the phone is any way. It's perfect. $12.99 (no shipping) from Expansys-usa.com... you can probably find it other places as well.

Would that be CaseMate? Tough?
There are quite a few threads open about cases already...
I bought a 2$ silicone case from dealextreme, still waiting for it to come in, but good reviews on it.

Can you show us some pics?
I am sure it's been mentioned before and there are probably even some reviews, but I can highly, highly recommend the Case-Mate Tough for the Desire HD. It's an amazing case, by far the best one I've used.
I've had it for a couple of months already. It fits great, looks great and feels great in my hands. So far after 2 months of use it looks like brand new - no wear around the edges. One thing I was a little bit concerned about in the beginning is that the bottom part, which is rubber only (look-up some pictures) would stretch and sag, but that hasn't happened at all.
Just go out and get one, you won't be disappointed ;-)
I got a Case-mate Barely There case.
It's good enough for me as i haven't dropped my phone so far. usually happens in the first few days.
Screen film is also great, can barely see it and the phone is perfectly usable.
I Got A E-Cell Carbon Fiber Case,
Got It Off Ebay For £4.99
Seems To Be Of Decent Build Quality
Tough case user here too, awesome case. Lovin it.
no cases ftw
I am using one from Capdase (http://www.capdase.com/en/product5.php?cid=1&bid=5&mid=1153&pid=8890)
Has been serving me well and saved a drop too! DHD becomes more rugged with this.
Otterbox is the best bet for protection. I'm currently using the defender series. It feels really safe and secure. Although quite expensive, well worth the investment.

I've just got the otterbox commuter and it seems great, phone feels really good to hold in the hand and looks like it will protect phone if I drop it
I am happy with the original case for touch HD.
I prefer to slide the phone out when using it.
My intention is to protect the phone from dust and scratch when in the pocket.
thanks.

I would prefer the below case. Anyone has used it before?
http://www.amazon.com/Monaco-Vertical-Carrying-Case-Sensation/dp/B0058V25ZY/ref=pd_sim_sbs_cps_2

What exactly is TPU? is it like rubber? i got the Gel Skin from tmobile store free when i got the phone and it serves its purpose but the case just attracts mad pocket lint and dust. does TPU do that?
i dont get why you guys would spend on a case so expensive when you can get one on ebay for a cheaper price.

I have the Melkco (orange stripe on black leather) and I can tell you a few things about it.
1. It looks great. This case lends the Sensation a genuinely premium look and feel. I was (and still continue to be) impressed.
2. It fits perfectly. The handset is snug and does not budge.
3. All sides are covered. The top covers the digitizer completely. No particulates make their way in.
Get it.

Personally I don't like tpu-like case. That is a cloth on the phone which make it look ugly.
I would like to get the phone out pocket, with leather case, looks decent,
draw out the phone, a shiny baby....
So far I like it fits the phone almost to well was really hard to get off I got the grey one. was a bit pricey but IMO worth it.

I have one too. So far so good, though I didn't use the screen protector that came with it.
Is there a docking cradle that works with this case? I bought the one recommended by Samsung (EDD-D200BEGSTD) but it doesn't fit at all. There's a ridge in front of the USB connector that pushes up against the keyboard. I don't think it would fit even with the case off...
you mind posting links to cases that fit well?
i didn't get a case for the new cell so far since i always had trouble with them falling off when sliding the keyboard in and out after a while or didn't really fitting at all.
but if there's one that you ppl could recommend... my new electronic toy could use a lil extra protection
Case/cover.
I'm trying to find that case in UK as from us it will be about £20 !
Does anyone know where to buy it in UK or any online site but cheaper.
If not I will go for it as need to protect my precious (still waiting to be delivered).
Can anybody post some photos of that case as even on google pictures they not show it cover fully unit.
Or maybe someone have any alternative?
Regards
Mac
UPDATE
I just bought SA-321
http://www.incipio.com/cases/smartp...alpro-hard-shell-case-with-silicone-core.html
And even found discount code 20% less !
So I am happy now, no need to buy screen protector even.
Looks pretty good honestly, I may get one of those feather cases.

(If you want to buy one there, you may want to use the coupon code "inc20" - saves you 20%.) (expired)
Just ordered the SA-321 for my wife's Relay. Btw, the coupon code no longer is active.
I have just received an SA-321 case. It's of very good quality and I like the rubbery-but-not-too-much feeling of it. Compared to the SA-316, it covers the power and volume buttons. It makes the power button a lot easier to press and the slide-out mechanism feels somewhat more solid.
I like it a lot.
Agree. Though a bit pricey, my wife fell in love with it instantly. Great feel, good protection, and looks great too.:good:
