I stumbled on this http://cheapdroids.com/T-Mobile-G2-Monaco-Aluminum-Case-Black-Open-Screen-Design.html
and was wondering if anyone had it or had reviews about it, looking to see that it wont interfere with keyboard like some do.
Hey quick question! This case does not open the keyboard right?

From the picture it looks like a solid one-piece, but then how would you get the phone in there?
"The lock on the side holds the top and bottom of the case tightly together and prevents the case from accidentally opening"
It seems that it's some kind of lock, so that would mean it's openable, but don't hold me to that
*Edit*: http://cheapdroids.com/T-Mobile-G2-Monaco-Aluminum-Case-Silver-Open-Screen-Design.html
Thats the silver one, there you can see the long mechanism a bit better, so from the looks of it, you can still open it.
Ohh I didn't see that shot great gonna order one

Could you let us/me know how it is? It looks rather interesting
Definitely looking forward to an XDA member's review on this with better pics!
Once I get it pics and review will be up i really just want something easier to take on an off then the ones that tmobile has cause I use a case for work which is painting, and the tmobile cases felt like i would screw the phone up taking them on and off alot.
I am very interested in this case as well and will probably order. I found a different seller on eBay selling this case, link below. It includes more pictures as well.

Also found this retailer that has a video of it, looks slightly bulky.

Well a lot of people around here are looking for that. Something to lock the keyboard in place during normal day to day use. That way it isn't opening in your pocket and stuff like that.

Yea that works out for them but it means im still on the hunt >>
I agree in theory you shouldn't have to need this case. But if you are like me, my phone hinge is loose and it feels wobbly to even text. So if this case can hold the goods together securely then it looks like its worth it.
Just ordered one. Let's see if its better then the otterbox.

Looks sturdy. The added bulk keeps me away though.
I agree, I am worried about the excess bulkiness. Looks like a brick! All my friends have iPhone 4's so I dont want to pull out something looking a decade old! However pics and youtube videos can be deceiving. The G2 is a beautiful phone and doesnt seem to show scratches easy. I too have the loose hinge and like I said in a previous post, scotch tape on the sides is the best answer!

Agreed. I always find myself buying cases for all of my devices. 2 weeks later i end up ditching them going back to naked. right now i just have the stealthguards full body protector on which is excellent even for 10$. I, for one, hate the g2's keyboard, however, its one of the best ones out thus far. (if that makes any sense)
Anybody who ordered this case received it yet? Ordered mine on the 17th and still hasn't arrived....
[G2/HTC Vision]
DO NOT ORDER. Took forever to come and the case is complete crap. Finish sucks. Build sucks. Overall suck

I was a bit bored of the usual silicone/hybrid/hard cases on the market coz it just made the handset look bulky, so I decided to give these skins a try.
See what you think
New design: assassin's creed 05/08/11....was rendered by me in photoshop and put on a template provided

maybe http://www.gelaskins.com/store/skins/phones/HTC_Desire_HD ?
I tried gelaskins i didnt like them, they don't provide skins for the front and it started peeling off after a few times in and out of my pocket
i got mine from http://www.diabloskinz.com/index.asp
Whats the carbon ones like? id be up for trying on of those
Normally i'd leave those sort of cases for my iPod, but that actually looks pretty decent...
the touch sensitive buttons work through the skin (dunno how obvious that is) and i love the fact the wallpaper matches it
yea wallpaper matching it is cool
Very nice i think i will buy me one too

Hi,
i'm using a mumbi Silicon Case, looks not even half as good.
make no mistake a silicone case will protect it much better than this, but it makes the phone look bulky than it already is...as if it needed extra thickness (+ i got insurance so if it breaks i'm not worried)
Nice Skin dude
I myself use gelaskin; I wanted a custom design and I only wanted the back to look different, and a clean front so people can see its a HTC . but since i have no insurance i do use a transparent TPU case over it . I am content with the gelaskin so far .
you can get hold of custom designs from diabloskinz. + where does it say htc on the front =p
the front is what i wanted coz of the matching wallpaper + its cheaper than gelaskin

2) Good lookin out on this ebay seller!!!! I'm going thru his selection and there are SO MANY TO CHOOSE! I definitely prefer solid colors over the argyle and swirl ones all over the internet and amazon. I want a clear one... but may settle for this black one. Thanks again!

1. I did live in Virginia for a short time but I never introduce myself as Moshe. So I doubt it was me bro.
2. Yeah, It is a good international seller.

I think I found some of these on amazon if you search for "lg tmobile g2x color premium". The link doesn't say "TPU" but when you click the link it says they're TPU cases in the description and they look just like the ones on ebay.
I bought my GF one of those TPU cases for her HTC Aria in white and the thing is awesome. It adds a little girth to the phone phone nothing major. She drops the thing all the time but the phone still looks amazing.
The bad thing is that it covers up the smooth rounded screen that I love to feel.
I got this exact same case. I loved it except for the holes cut out for the volume and power. That killed it for me because that little slim piece in the front just got kinda floppy. I ordered this one and although I dont like transparent or argyle cases I use it day to day just because it seems to fit better http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0QEA3EPHD3SFD6BV11WG
Got the exact same case on my way to me. I ordered the lime green last week, gonna have an android theme. I will probably add some artwork to make mt g2x look like an android bot,
I got the black version of this case last week and after trying 2 other cases, this one is the best hands down.
I got mine off ebay from Mr.Shim and it took 6 days to get here from Korea.
Now if only Realook had a screen protector for this phone, I'd be really happy.
The only thing this case did was push up the Bodyguardz screen protector when I put it on because it's a pretty snug fit. Simply smoothing it back down was all I needed to do. Probably didnt help that I just had the protector put on the night before either.

Yup I was in the same predicament and I went with the case-mate barely there. I love the case. I went white on white. I don't need super protection but just want to protect from scratches and getting dirty.

i just noticed that incipio one covers more edges. so i think i am more leaning toward this...
Good to see they finally got them out, but im not sure if I would pick it up our not. When I had my SGS II I loved my NGP that I had on it, right now im rocking the diztronic tpu which is almost the same exact setup as the NGP.

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.
Really like that case waljie.

Been rocking the black with my white HOX. Love it!
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.
I hear a lot of crap, even among Google fans, about the N5 not being so great looking. I'm having trouble believing I'm the only person who thinks this device (black version without a case) is incredibly sexy... I absolutely love how minimalist it looks and how solid it feels. It doesn't look like a try-hard device. Previously the sexiest device award went to the white iPhone 4s, and then to the white S4, and then to the iPhone 5c, so I'm excited to finally have the world's sexiest phone be both a black device AND Nexus device.
I like the looks of it for sure. It might not be THE nicest looking phone out there, but it's nowhere near ugly.
I like the looks from the back but from the front it looks pretty slapped together. Just a piece of glass stuck into a body. I wish there was some sort of chamfer to the front edges.
I completely agree with you, although personally Im a huge fan of the htc one with the front facing speakers. From a visual standpoint as well as a functionality stand point I wouldnt mind see that look. Then again I also wouldnt mind seeing an aluminum body but overall, this phone IS sexy

My dream design is just a generic black monolith slate. But they did manage to throw in some subtle curves here without going overboard or looking to busy or gaudy or detracting from the minimalism. I suppose they could have done a chamfered front edge, but then I'd expect them to ditch the subtle curve on the back. You know, one or the other; curved back or chamfered front edge, but one of the surfaces needs to be flat (incidentally, Apple got this right with iPhone 5/5s, although that's about all they got right with that particular design).

It's sexy because it's not trying to be. Less is more! Modesty win!
The fact that it is so simple and plain is what makes it so sexy. Find it funny that a lot of reviews point that out as a negative but I have more people asking me about this phone when I put it down.

It's definitely sexy. I hated the look of the N4. It was just so... Squarish. I like that this one has a taller and thinner profile. I had a white one to start, after breaking that one I went with the Black and I actually like the black better. I may try to add some color to the nexus logo on the back.

Mine looks like a cheap plastic case I bought on ebay holding a slab of somewhat less cheap plastic containing some electronics just like every other phone I ever owned. Another way to say it, don't care.
Well I think this thread has achieved everything it was ever going to... Thanks for all the opinions guys, on-topic or otherwise.
