Case or No Case?

I'll have my Nexus tomorrow. Just wondering, is the teflon coating on this thing pretty solid, or is it a good idea to get a protective case for it? I'm VERY careful with my phones. I never used a case with my MyTouch3G or my G1, and they stayed in great shape with only a few very minor scratches here and there. But if anything happened to my Nexus, I'm sure I'd be pretty pissed at myself. So... input? Thanks?

I didn't use a case for about a month, only used the sleeve. Dropped it on my mat on my rug for my computer chair several times. No marks at all. I bought a Ghost Armor body kit just in-case.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpGAW6L5x8U
the coating seems pretty tough to me,
personally i use the sleeve it came with during pocket transportation
and from what i heard the screen can be easily scratched by aluminum, so i would avoid any situation that would cause that to rub your screen

I use the crystal gel case, its very thin an unobtrusive. I'd say go with a case and even a screen shield; better safe than sorry. Besides, when Windows Phone 7 or something else from Google comes out, you want to keep that resale value up!

Trust me... you'll be just fine with the included neoprene sleeve. What's the point of having such a svelte phone if you encumber it with a case?

If you drop it on concrete then it will scratch the case. You don't have to have a gigantic case. Just something to cover the actual phone.
I have a BSE and it's amazing.
It is made of a silicone type material that gives it a little rubbery feel [not a lot at all, just a little bit].
It makes it less vulnerable to scratches and damage to the actual phone.
It gives the phone a small bit of grip so it's not so easily dropped.
It gives it a glossy look.
It covers every inch of the phone including the screen.
It's crystal clear and doesn't get as many smudges as the normal screen.
Here's a great review on it
The only problems I had was at first it looks a little hazy but the skin just has to sit for a little while then it will look great.
And applying the skin is very tedious and takes about 30 minutes to do it right. If you do it wrong it will have bubbles and wont sit right.
Here's some pics of mine

I say get a skin as I find the phone to be too slippery without one. I have gotten used to it but I don't trust other people to use it without a skin.

@dumbestcrayon
nice skin, makes the phone look oh so sexxyy..
p.s. Glassjaw is AMAZINGG

I dropped my n1 on concrete and the scratch was enough to make me consider selling it! [I know, issues...] So now I use the stock case but get sick of taking it out all the time, its fine in the pocket without protection

Oh yeah I love it. One of the only physical flaws, IMO, was that the body isn't glossy. Now its better.
Glassjaw is pretty good. Haven't heard them in a long while. They came up on last.fm.

I would say no, but that is a pretty tasteful case posted in the forum. If you are on the fence, I say go for it. the phone is very durable, but it was a bit slick in the hands at first.

I'm all for the bse. Wish I put one on my g1

I use the Seidio belt clip case mostly for transport protection. But it's easy to remove the Nexus for use anytime as is!

I have a belt clip also. I just like the BSE because it has no flaws. It makes the phone glossy, a little grip, protects it from any scratches because it covers 99.9% of the phone [where the .1% is the tiny lines between where the pieces of the skin comes together XD]
And, it was $8. So it's 100% win for me.

Cool beans...can't beat the price . So it fits in the belt clip ok and not too tight?

Yeah, I had it for my MyTouch. When I ordered my N1 I expected to have to throw it out. It's a good quality clip that I got from some website. I forgot where. My cousin got his N1 before me so I tried his and it fit perfect. I was pretty happy about it. IT was a little bit tight at first but it stretched out a bit. It has an open spot right where the headphone jack is too. But as of today I got my Rockfish BT headset so I wont need that anymore
This headset is amazing...A2DP is great.

dumbestcrayon, have you had any experience with the Invisible Shield?
I currently have the Invisible Shield on my phone without any complaints, just wondering if you had a comparison.
Price-wise, mine was more expensive at what, 25 bucks i think, but albeit with free lifetime replacement. Dunno about performance though...

Haven't tried it but I can say that I probably wont either lol. $25 is ridiculous. the specs seem to be the same thing actually.

i use the Seidio innocase 2. Its awesome except the fact that it cuts up your screen protector when you slide it on. But the phone outside is fully protected.

Thanks for the great pics!
I can't make out however, if the full body skin also covers the edge (open slit) of the screen to prevent any dust/lint from getting inside it and further into the screen.
Can you confirm please?

Momax iCase Pro : My review

Before this I had an all black TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) case. It was ok, but the back looked very plain and boring. So I was looking for something little better, but didn’t want to get one with some wired pattern. Then I came across this.
I didn’t much like the metallic bezel of the SGS, and this case covers it pretty nicely. The best thing about it is the semi transparent back. As you can see from the photos below, I inserted a small piece of paper which I printed off a normal color printer having the Google logo and Android robot; IMO it gives a nice touch. Basically you can put just about anything you like. Overall I think it’s a pretty good case, it doesn’t add much bulk and it is very discreet.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, the buttons are harder to press though.. Thats the only gripe I have against it.
Finally here are some of my photos, Enjoy :

thanks for review and photo tip nice idea... and looks very good
could You tell something about 'the grip' ? is phone still slippy ?

doublepost_sorry

does the case absorbes any impact at all?
seems very fragile compared to the mesh type case

Been using this case since I got my phone. The semi-transparent back is hard plastic while the sides are soft. The grip is definitely better than without a case, but I wouldn't say it's great since the back is somewhat smooth. Not sure about drops though.
The only thing I don't like about it is that the sides buttons are kinda hard to press, but I'm guessing thats the same with all SGS cases.

The grip is ok but not as good as with a silicon or a full TPU case (I had before) because back is made out of a hard plastic like material with a grainy textured feel to it.

Bezel (the dark black area) still has a flexible rubbery feel to it (much like TPU/Silicon based cases), so I think it can absorb some shock, maybe not as much as other 100% silicon based cases. Transparent back is harder than the black frame, but still flexible (for example when the phone is inserted and taken out you have to bend it , and it doesn't seem to me that it would break easily, you can think of the material as somewhat similar to what regular microwave safe plastic containers are made out of, hard but flexible as well). I guess if the phone falls flat on it's back maybe a full silicon based case might do a slightly better job, but then again none of the cases out there can't guarantee to protect your phone from a fall. I think they are better at keeping the phone scratch free more than protecting from drops.

Yes, buttons are hard to press. But I had the same problem with the case I had before, and I even tried out a softer casing before that , same issue.

Nice review, good looking case, but I prefere flip cases. And got a good one of thoes
---
OT To me cases are basicly just for the looks.
Since I dont intend to be throwing or dropping my phone.
It´s an expensive thing so ofc one uses care when handling it

i prefer my case, ill post a pic later

To add to the OP review, this is one nice case.
I just receive this case from my ebay purchase, installed on my SGS and really liked the case.
Seems like it protects the phone really well.
I also picked up some gel case from ebay. The gel case doesn't cover the bezel very well. This Momax case covers the entire bezel really well, and doesn't add bulk to the phone at all.

really nice case. i like my case mate tough case but it's made the phone a bit too bulky for my liking. this might be a nice compromise between tough case and no case at all.
may try this one out.

Can anyone compare this to a Case-mate barely there case?
They would seem to be on the same "class" of case.
From what I am seeing, the Barely there case would be thinner, but cover less, and also cost more.

From what I see on the casmate website its only for T-Mobile Vibrant..

hi all,
my case came today and i really like it. i have a casemate tough case and while it certainly is tough, it made the phone bulkier than i was happy with.
the momax seems to be just enough coverage to make you feel pretty comfortable with drops but slim enough not to add too much bulk. of course, some bulk is to be expected and i still find the phone more comfortable to hold with the momax case than without any case. without a case i kept thinking i was going to drop the darn thing.
very happy with this case, i will be selling my tough case.
cheers

FYI, it is a really good case and i really liked it. But not really recommend this case if you always need to take your case off.
I got a white one few months ago. Recently i found the hard part scratch the silver front edge...and i have no any method to remove those mark now. So i don't use this case anymore now until i find the best case.
Moreover, the white color seems turning pearl yellow. I think it is because the sweat of my hands.
Anybody have same experience?

Bought this Case - my take
I got this case for 12 dollars off ebay and am glad i paid the premium over the cheap gel cases!
I do not like the gel cases as they are very hard to get into and out of your pockets (especially jeans) so when i saw this case with the hard back i thought id give it a try.
The case does slide out of your pocket easier then a full gell case and seems to protect the phone well. it also hides the silver bezel which is nice since it provides some protection from a fall on a flat surface(providing theres no pebels)
its still not as easy to slide out as the phone without a case but acceptable and the protection is nice!
I have managed to put a few small scratches in the back but its prob from my keys that tend to be in the same pocket of my phone on occasion.
only downside is dust collects along the edges but a quick wipe with a cloth gets rid of it.

I think this is way better than the silicon cases. They tend to stretch and slip off when you take the phone out of the pocket

Here's another option,
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pro-Tec-PGSGSFCL-Glacier-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B0043GW8JI
Got one in my local Vodafone shop for €12, fits great way better than those regular silicon cases, doesn't come off the phone, not discolouring either, gives a millimetre or two of clearance for the camera lens when you put it down flat.
If this is the CaseMate Barely There mentioned earlier http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pro-Tec-PGSGSFCL-Glacier-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B0043GW8JI then it does fit the GT I9000. They had one in my local O2 shop that was for a Vibrant, (even though you can't get Vibrant's here), so I figured I'd try it. It fits beautifully, and doesn't bulk up the phone like all the other cases. I'm seriously considering one to replace the Pro-Tec, but it's €20, and wont have the clearance for the camera. Looks great on the phone though

Ordered one of theses.
Can't wait to receive it !

[REVIEW] Otterbox Defender

Well i've had the case for 2 weeks now so I feel I can give you guys an honest review of the case.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSCkAmij7P0
Construction.
The case is two parts, as i'm sure you've already read, however I want to draw your attention to both parts with regards to manufacturing, and design.
The internal hard case is a two part snap fit,
it features a lens protector which is substantial, and seems fit for purpose, there isn't any distortion i can see, and the plastic seems solid. The screen protector built into this case seems of high quality, but does cause colour refraction of the screen (the effects of a oily screen) this isn't terrible and I suffered the same using a Invisishield screen protector, but it's worth noting. I don't like the fact that the buttons on the front of the phone are cut out, the amount of lint and hair i get through the holes is unbearable to myself, and this leads to the next problem.
There are 6 snap fit clips around the body which on first fit are ridiciously tight. this is good and bad. If you never take the case off then it is sure to survive any impact, however if your like me and the dirt annoys you under the screen protector you'll be taking it off all the time. Now once you break that virgin seal the clips never hold as tight, this isn't to say it no longer grips, just it's not tight so now the two part plastic creaks and squeeks if squeezed together, the movement isn't huge but again I like things to be solid, and this case isn't.
Now the Silicon case goes on the outside, unlike the Case Mate - Tough.
I see this as a better idea than the hardcase on the outside, however Otterbox have slipped up a little in my opinion. There is a raised lip on the outside edge which the silicon case slips over to secure it. they've made one on the top, two long ones each side, and to hooks on the bottom. But not on the corners, this is where it's needed most because of the lack of lip you'll find that when you catch the rubber on your clothes hand, an object it will pull away from the plastic part. I'm constantly having to push the rubber back into the lip and massage the corners so they meet the body better.
Impact protection.
Purely by chance the other week my desire went down an iron staircase on a building site. Not good but a perfect test for the case.
Well tbh my phone picked up a bit of speed and dented a plasterboard wall on stopping. I was pretty sure I was in for a new phone, but to my honest surprise the case did it's job. The phone is in perfect nick, the case itself is ok too.
Conclusion.
Well the case is big and bulky, it makes the phone slightly larger than a iPhone 3GS with case attached, which by todays standards is a brick, it's not asthetically pleasing to those with an eye for detail because of the squeeks, the loose outer rubber cover, and the screen proctector creating colour reflex, and obvious holes (the mk2 doesn't have the holes i'm told) it's not really a looker. But thats not what this case is about, if you need a case to protect your phone on busy building sites, or even if you a cluts dropping it all the time then this is the case of choice. I think if Otterbox revisit this case, perhaps add the lip all the way round to hook the rubber over, use a clearer screen protector, perhaps using a snap fit lip upposed to 6 clips then this would appeal to the people looking for a stylish protection solution. I believe this case is the best solution for protection, but looses alot of ground based on looks.
Protection: *****
Design: ***½
Style: **
Price: ***
Overal: ***½

Your welcome mate

Thanks for the review, after viewing it i think maybe i just gonna buy the commuter..not defender, i love the "sexy" looks on my desire..
Great review mate..

thanks man,
new review up

nice reviews man you happen to be able to make a comparison between the otterbox commuter and the case-mate tough case?

I would but unfortunately I don't own that case, if I fall out with my tough case, i may buy one and review it thoug

i owned a commuter case till yesterday. returned it today and bought a case-mate tough case based on your review

hope you like it

Nice review! Thanks man!

Thanks for the review, detailed feedback is v. helpful.

I have had the defender since day one when released. I removed the protective screen it came with and use a zagg protective screen instead. Like the original poster stated the rubber does come off all the time on the edges and I find myself consistently pushing it back into place. Not a big deal. Also I have noticed my rubber piece for. The earphone Jack is starting to rip off. Good case overall in my opinion.

I like it very much.
Thanks for this great review!!!!!!!!

other problem
not sure if its just my otterbox, and not sure if it was already mentioned in the review.
in the upper left corner of the case is a hole that shows a very small portion of the screen. this is for the sensor inside that knows when the phone is up to your face when on a call. when you put the phone down, the screen comes back on. however, like mentioned in the review, with all the holes in this case, dirt and dust collect very easily, and block that sensor from seeing your face, therefore, when you take the phone away from your face, the phone's screen remains locked out. button pressing wont bring it back on. you actually have to wait for some hole to shine through to that sensor, or take the otter box apart so the screen will come back on. very, very annoying.

[Q] Omnia 7 Shell Case

I, like many others i`m sure, is looking for a good quality shell for a Omnia 7. Can`t find anything as yet.
If you do see a good shell, please post a link here.
Thank you!!

I bought this one from eBay which has arrived today:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SAMSUNG-I8700..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item43a3706915
It's ok, thought I would recommend getting the black one rather than the smoked one I have. The only issue I have is that the sleep, camera and volume buttons are a bit difficult to press with the case one. I think it may soften or loosen up with a bit of use so I'll keep it on for now and see how it goes.
DC

Yup they soften up
i was the same. But few days now and they are nice and easy to press.
I did give them a bit of a warming up by clicking them a fair few times, but does work to loosen the silicone up.
I got the black one as you can see by this post/pics

I'm struggling with screen protectors though. I ordered some cheapy ones from a German seller but, with the greatest of respect, they're utter dogsh1t. Far too thin, scratched by a piece of card I was using to push bubbles out.
I really want to find a nice anti-glare protector if I can, otherwise I'll be going the Martin Fields route.

Sounds like you got the same ones as me, That's my 4th film heh... I know why they put 6 in there now but for £4........ or a scratched phone ?
Ether way mine is more protected than my other parts of me have ever been
btw i found it's less pressure with the card, and more laying it down and just ever so slowly backing it up and using the card to make sure the bubble you saw don't re-lay where it was.
I'm no expert but 1st go was a joke.... so many bubbles i laughed hard...
2nd better but no dice,
3rd was brilliant apart from a few bits, and my mind just made me take it off and start again
4th was perfect give or take 1 - 3 bubbles i can live with until i try again
You want to hear how my mate managed with an ipad XD

I am having trouble finding screen protectors as well. I think I ordered the same thing as you guys (bedifol ultraclear) from protectionfilms24 but when I went to their site, it seems it's pretty much their lowest range and looking at the reviews for the various cuts they offer for other phones, I am just wondering if it's worth not having a screen protector at all.
Please let me know if you have managed to found one that is good.
Cheers.

Low range - high range.... It was ALL that was out when i got the phone/wanted protection
It does what it says.
It protects the screen XD
0.05mm thick - Same as the "one" for £8 which i bought as with the £3 one to test all of them, Recently bought the martin fields and imo... it tints it for me.... i like the clear/glazed protectors which look like the glass it should be.
So 6 for £4 is win win

I got a screen protector from here http://www.devdef.com/products/for-samsung-omnia-7 (actually I got two), but I found that they're pretty good and by far the easiest to install of any screen protector I've ever used. To apply it, you need to moisten it (instructions are on the site), and then you can slide it over the surface of the phone, before it dries, until you get the perfect positioning. Bubbles are also easy to remove because of this - you just have to do it before it sets. The only drawback, really, is that it's pretty reflective. I don't notice very much in use, but it reflects bright lights quite a lot, so if you're looking for anti-reflective coating, I'd give this a miss. Also on a plus - it's pretty strong as you can see from the video on the site. Also, as the instructions say, it improves the longer it's on your device. Initially it looks a bit poor, but stick with it (no pun intended )

Yos, I'll look at those....remember to wish someone Happy Birthday today!!!!

Very nice indeed. And I am using savvy screen protector, little rubbery in touch but not bad at all

Yeah, I used fairy liquid and water, and you only need a tiny amount of fairy liquid - it's concentrated, you know ;-), and you also only need very little of the solution on the screen protector. Also, as I mentioned it looks pants to start off with, and it takes a while to dry, but eventually it looks fine. If you like a shiny screen protector.

I bought both of them on eBay. Very fine !

As promised the pics of the CM barely there case.
edit: It also came with a free screen protector & a piece of cleaning cloth which I haven't used yet. Waiting for my current screen protector to be bit more scratched up (martin fields). Shouldn't take long.

That case looks really good just a pity I had to send my Omnia 7 away for repair!

What bothers me with these case is that I won't feel the cold metallic, sturdy cover finish in my hand anymore Is there any possibility to have a bumper instead?

Video Review: Quibits / Basal Enterprises FlexVue TPU Case

I haven't seen any videos of this case, so I thought I'd put together a quick review for you guys. It's a pretty neat case, I kind of prefer it to the TPU-Cases model, I just wish the top was completely covered.
Also, the title should read "qubits" not "quibits".

Love the video, looks very professional. On a quick note. I wanted to point out that Yoobao has a somewhat similar TPU case with that missing top part that you mention was missing cover.
Here is a link for it:

Again, thank you for the video.

Thanks for the link! That case looks like a real winner. I might have to purchase it and review it - from the looks of it, it also still has the large Micro-USB cut out.

Well, I purchased it and received it yesterday. I love the darn thing. The screen protector was cut out for the device, because it has the cut out exactly where the light sensor is. (I also installed and had 0 problems with the installation.)

I have this Yoobao but I decided I wanted to keep the cheapie kickstand case. I still haven't opened it to test it. I can do that or if you want I can sell it to anyone here for 10bux shipped, if you are in the USA. I posted this in the marketplace, but I do not think many others venture out of the device forums lol

How does it fit? Is it really tight? I'm looking for a TPU case because the Tmob case I got when I got the phone is simply way too floppy and loose. That Yoobao you posted is exactly what I'm looking for because I want a clear case to show off the phone's design. If the fit is tight and the cutouts all align nicely I'm purchasing it immediately lol.
To stay on topic, the OP's video looks very professional and I've looked at the Qubits case a lot too.

It fits like a glove, no flimsiness and not loose at all! Every single cutout is made EXACTLY where it needs to be. I was amazed by that.

Thanks for the review. Looks like a better case than the rubber one I got from T-Mobile for $20. The case is too loose around the sides. I already scraped the side with my key. I will be buying one of these TPU's.

1 more question: how long did it take for you to get it? I really want to try it out, but I'm leaving for college in 13 days, so the fact that it's shipping from Hong Kong kinda makes me worried that I wouldn't get it in time.

If in the uk amazon sell the grey one through a seller named "podjunkie" bit the order is fufilled by amazon

That was a great review, thanks! I think I'm going to pick up the smoked one, but I would love if the black one had the middle clear like the smoked one does. Right now I have the Incipio NGP but the open volume rocker and clear center make this very appealing

Sorry for the mega-necro, but I am selling all of my leftover HTC Sensation accessories at very low prices. Please help out a student and check out my marketplace posting.

sent you a prvate msg!

i got similar case ( black , not transparent and slightly different in design) as OP from amazon for $5.99 with free 2 days shipping ( 4 bucks cheaper ^^). This is really good case, fit tight and look awesome. As OP said,only weak point is that this case doesn't cover the top ( i guess they decide to design this way so you can put in/ or take off the case easier. I have similar type of this case for my mytouch 4G, my nexus S and it is a little bit more difficult to take the case off or put it in) This is always my first choice when i buy my phone's case.

This is honestly the best case I've ever used. Fits perfectly, adds a nice feel to the phone (I don't feel like it will snap in my hand anymore).
