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.

Anyone gonna pre order this?
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr3hnx1-bk.htm
I really want to, but thought I would ask if any one has tried their cases?
I loved that case for my G1... Just waiting for the Nexus version to be released. This little pouch that comes with it just ain't cuttin it! But I will be all over that Innocase once its released
I like their case's a lot, and plan on getting a high quality case for the N1 from them!
i might just pre order then. 30 bux is alot tho lol
Ordered it and the holster a few days ago.
gonna order the combo but worried how good tha holster holds the phone... n how thin the case will be
i just pre ordered 2. no holster
i know someone who has this case for their droid and it's really really nice...
i'm not a fan of it for the nexus though due to the fact that it looks like it's a 2 piece design that comes apart in the middle.
i'll actually wait for this one: http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr5hnx1-bk.htm

why is the non snap in one 10 dollars cheaper?
I want the snap too, but it seems they've removed it from the list??
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/4025.htm
I can still see it in the link posted above but no longer in the page with all the nexus accessories.
Even a search for snap doesn't show a nexus hit. Maybe they've scrapped it...
Had a quick online chat with customer services:
"We are still planning on making the snap but there is no eta. We are working on it, so it will come out we just are not sure on the time."
reason why they pulled the listing:
"We were unsure of the release date and did not want to confuse customers."
Doesn't sound right to me though, it said under development and there was no date mentioned or even a way of preordering (just adding to wishlist), how could that have been confusing?!

Pics when u get tha new suit please lol
got mine dunno if im a big fan. the sliding in of the case almost took my zagg shield right off. I have to fit it at the top and squeeze it in, and still doesnt look like its sitting right with the zagg shield. Oh well gonna keep it on paid 30 bux for it lol
Lightforce, how much thickness does the case add on? Seidio says it's 1mm thick, or thin, but I was wondering if you could tell us how it feels versus the naked Nexus One?
doesnt add much thickness, but makes it feel heavier thats for sure.
ordered mine yesterday. Shipped today.
I had the inocase II for the original storm and it fit great. Hoping this will be the same.
Lightforce,
could you take pics from all angles and what it looks like while putting it on since you said it almost took your screen protector off.
Thanks
Hi guys, was just wondering if anyone knows if this phone will ship with a leather case? The only other HTC phones I've had are the Touch Diamond and the Touch Pro 2, both shipped with cases, so I'm feeling hopeful. Just wondered if anyone knew for sure?
Well the g2 hasn't from the looks of it so I doubt it. My hero didn't come with one a year ago either.
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
From a description I read previously, I'm pretty sure it doesn't. But, then again, I'm pretty sure in the description, it said it came with an 8gb card, and another member said he was told it didn't come with a card!
However, since you can buy a leather slip case seperately for this, I'm gonna go ahead and say that it won't come with a leather case...
Every HTC device that I've ever bought has shipped with a leather case.. so.. I think yes... but we'll see.
I just got mine today and sadly it does not come with a leather case.

@Orite
You're talking of TMobile G2, not HTC Desire Z
They're the same phone, but we can never be sure if it's coming with the same accessories!
I'm waiting for my Desire Z...when it'll come to me I'll update you on the included accessories ^^

Well' I don't worry so much about phone case, I have order a quality case from Ebay
Having kept my Raphael (touch pro) and the case it was shipped with as a pair permenantly for the last 2 years I would hope it does come with a case......the desire didnt afaik.
Ive spotted a fairly tidy looking official HTC case here: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-desire-z-pouch-po-s540-p26020.htm

this policy seems to have changed more recently, I used to get one with htc phones up till the magic, but then hero, legend and desire all didn't come with a case
Hi,
When I've ordered the HD2, the case arrived in the box as well.
A month later I have ordered a Touch2 for my friend and there was no case in the box.
So ... we will see what is in the box when it arrives, hope there will be no difference in accessories between countries where the phone will be delivered.
If htc cheaps out of a leather case for the Desire Z, the G2 forums are reporting that the original G1 case, easily found on eBay for cheap, fits the G2 perfectly.

I have owned a Hero and a Desire (Bravo) and neither of those came with a case of any sort.
This one looks good making use of the flip out keyboard without taking it out of the case:

Just the case I ordered one week ago. Free shipping worldwide
Interesting. Not sure how much that plastic over the keys would annoy me, though. I almost think I'd rather have a slip pouch that I'd have to remove the phone from each time than type through plastic. I dunno, I really did have my heart set on something I'd be able to type on while still in the pouch.
not a huge fan of leather cases tbh..seems to add a lot of perceived bulk to the phone. a clear crystal case would be fine i think..but at the moment, not many options! guess i'll just have to take extra care when i get my phone in 2 days! =D
In my opinion Noreve has the best leather cases. These case's have a stable metal frame inside the stitch edges.
- Dromaius
Just had a look and yes, their cases look great. Could only see a pouch style case for the DZ, though. Went ahead and sent them an e-mail asking if they planned to develop a flip style case and I received this back...
Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for your email.
This case is under production. We will launch it in less than 1/2 weeks. http://www.noreve.com/product/Housse_cuir_HTC_Desire_Z_Tradition.html
We will inform you as soon as we launch it on-line.
Thank you for your interest in our brand.
My best regards,
Cynthia
Customer Care Department / Service Client
Really looking forward to this if they make it right.
Read all about the otter case in a review for the straight desire - the defender model it was.
I wasnt overly impressed.
So in light of this can yuo accessory experts point me what YOU think is the best usable (I.E. doesnt look like a tank or bomb shelter) case. I am thinking somethin silicon?
anyway, would really love ya expert opinions! I need to protect my phone - more frlom falls than anything else, am a fairly cluimsy 6'4'' so it has a long way to drop!
respect!

Here's a site I stumbled upon. Maybe one of these are made for you:

I made it yesterday to try and help people to decide what to get as a case for their HTC desire HD. I tried the HTC S550 pouch and 2 silicon cases. Didn't really know what I was going to say so I just started talking and showed my DHD a little with its accessories (still in love with it) but at the end I dropped my Desire HD on the floor luckily my appartment is all carpet

I bought the exact same gel case as you showed in the video (grey). I bought it from an ebaystore called Londonmagicstore. I paid 3gbp including shipping to sweden. Fast and reliable. As I don't have the DHD yet (is to be released next week in sweden) I hope it fits.

Helpfull video mate. I just ordered two silicon/gel cases from Ebay myself and they bought are coming with protective film for the screen. I am really looking forward to getting them as I am paranoid about damaging my new DHD.
Thx for the video - off to watch it now!
The best protective case by far, and the case I use on my HTC HD, Samsung Galaxy s and HTC desire, is the Pdair aluminium metal case.
http://www.pdair.com/
Unfortunately, for some strange reason, they don´t plan to make this case for HTC Dsire HD
If you are interested, drop the a mail and request that they make a aluminium case for the HTC Desire HD as well. [email protected]
Just thought I'd vouch for the eBay cases! Remember, they all come from the same factories in China, you're only paying extra for the branding 'SuperShield' 'MegaCase' etc. There are some exceptions but very few. I bought my case for £2.35 with a screen protector and it's perfect, a great fit and nice feel! I've never spent more than a couple of pounds on silicone/plastic cases or screen protectors and all of my phones remained in perfect condition months after I bought them. Will post links soon.
Regards.
Cannot see anyone being unhappy with this case..... £2.65 an absolute bargain.
eBay
Regards.
just bagged one of those from ebay - so thanks and yeah will feedback what I think of the case and protector!

£2.65? The price following that link is £29.65?

Now that is strange! When I click the link it says the seller has updated his listing and the price shows £29.65!!! I've emailed the seller to ask what is going on as it definitely was £2.65 this morning. Maybe the increased traffic spooked him .
Anyway just to reinforce my point regarding the branding of goods from the same Chinese source, here is CaseHut's listing for the ORB Gel Case..... look familiar?? £5.99 plus postage..... hmmmm!!
Anyway, the case fits well and gives good protection. All buttons are placed correctly and the camera lens, flash and charger port all have good access. Hope this shows that you can keep your expensive phone SAFE without breaking the bank.
Regards.
I received my silicone case I paid 2.95 for on eBay today and the quality is great the fit is perfect and it doesn't make the phone too bulky. Another thing is the case makes pressing the power and volume buttons a lot easier
So overall I am delighted with the case.

metal case here for 15 smackeroons...sems ok. anyone bought this one? Any good?
I guess the seller hopes that someone actually buys it without noticing the high price. He must know that others recommend this product, and well, sneakily tries to make huge profit....

not metal, plastic with metallic coloring.
that's mentioned on all sites but that one, wouldn't trust them.
I ordered the official case from google for 34.99. As reviews came out i honestly didn't like it. I opened up the cruzerlite site and there selling the nexus 6p cases for 9.90, but not an amazon. My personal opinion I've had these cases for every phone that I have owned and have never let me down
I've always wanted one, I'm planning on getting a clear one
I have really liked and used Cruzerlite in the past, but recently, I find myself really liking cases that have something covering the buttons.

Yep. I got a couple bugdroid Cruzerlite cases for my nexus 6 and never actually used them because the button cutouts were annoying to me. I actually prefer the buttons to be covered too.

Anyone get theirs yet?
If you are interested they have buy2 get one code if you want three cases. It is B2G1
I was really waiting for Diztronic to release a case, don't recall them going this late for a case release. Might just get the Cruzerlite clear, assuming they do shipments of those soon. I really don't want to get my phone and have to wait a week for either of those to come. I'm also not really sure I like the Verus case I got for $2, might just use that for more heavy duty situations. God damn I'm so picky.
I bought a clear one a few days ago for my 6p. If anything like my N5's it has cutouts for the buttons but the buttons stay retracted inside the hole.
That's great for putting on the car-mount as it won't press the buttons!
Still no shipping date, though
What color should I get for the graphite? I feel like the clear would look weird so maybe I'll get the smoke. Anyone get theirs yet?
Never buying one again. I've gotten one of these for every phone of mine since before my Galaxy Nexus. Seems trivial but after the G3 they started putting their logo in the center of the bug droid and I immediately hated it. My opinion but I liked the logo outside the droid.
So I ordered this without realizing they weren't yet ready to go. . Crap!!!! now I've got my 6p and it's all naked. That makes me nervous and the metal frame makes it difficult to hold. I'm concerned about it getting scratched up no mater how I set it down.
Anyone get word of when this will ship?
I've rocked cruzerlite cases for a while. They have been my to to case. But customer support sucks. Unless I missed it no where on the site says they aren't ready to go. No one answers the phone, email wasn't returned, twitter support is nonexistent

Never in my life have I experienced a company where there was LITERALLY no way to contact them for customer support. They ignore everything. Support.cruzerlite.com doesn't load, form emails through their site go unanswered. The phone number just points you to the support site that doesn't load. Finally, twitter and facebook are also ignored. WTF!?!?! This is messed up!!!!
I think I might try calling today and pressing 0 or mashing buttons.
I'm in the same boat. I tried contacting them for weeks now. Yet no reply. In there description it says date to be announced, but doesn't justify why there customer support is atrocious.

so , get one but just not white...
