Body Glove Cases.

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.

Usable armband?

Could anyone suggest subject?

Friend of mine ordered the smaller version of the tunebelt and he's ecstatic over it. He's been through a couple too.

My wife loves her tunebelt, not too expensive on amazon either.

Thanks for reply guys!
I was looking at the same model.
AlgorithmX, because you have it, could you comment on quality and usability. I need this thing mostly for sports. It's kind of difficult to judge on picture. Does touch still works through that plastic? How it holds moisture? And how good is velcro?

I posted in the Vibrant and i9000 forums, but I got the larger version of the Tune Belt. It fits with my phone still inside it's TPU case which is what I was looking for. I think the smaller version would be too tight if you want to keep it in your case.
If you have above average sized biceps, you will need the extension as the band is one of the shorter ones I've seen, but luckily the extension is very cheap and works well.
Here are some pics.

Thanks for good pictures!
No hole for a headphones cord?
And how do I know what is bigger/smaller version? I have only thin silicone on my phone and do not want to take it off every time.

The headphone cord comes out of the flap at the top. I can take a picture later, but it's the same open you slide the phone into, so there's plenty of room.
The model numbers tell you if it's the smaller one or larger one. As you can see in my pics, my phone has a TPU case on it and fits very well inside the armband.
AB82 = Smaller
AB83 = Larger

Finally got my paws on it and used it for a while.
IMHO, this armband is useless for sports. It is like a sponge!
I got bigger version and it fits the phone in the silicon case. However seams inside do not allow plastic to touch the screen, so it's pretty difficult to control phone on the run.

I'm assuming you're talking about the TuneBelt right? If so, it's neoprene. While it may "retain" sweat/moisture, it shouldn't absorb it, neoprene is basically sweat proof. It "retains" some of it temporarily, because the material is breathable (which you definitely want) I have the smaller ab82 that I used with my Touch Pro, and I can tell you from using it at the gym a bunch, if you check it a few hours later, it should be bone dry again as the sweat evaporates out of it, doesn't leave it gross or smelly, etc. Wetsuits are made out of the same material for this sorta reason.
As for the seams on the screen.. ya it looked that way in the pictures above. Still, looks to be the only good solution out currently for phones as big as ours.

CLEAR Hard Snap-On Case Cover for G2

NOTE: I know there's some discussion about this specific case in another thread here, but since there were other cases discussed in that thread I thought it would be best to create a dedicated thread for it.
I recently purchased/received this from luxurycellwireless, and after using the HTC Hard Shell Case (OEM) for about a month I'd have to say I'm very impressed with this clear plastic one. It fits the G2 nicely, almost to the point where I'm going to be nervous when I have to remove it from the phone. Hopefully I won't have to take it off anytime soon, but for the price of $3 shipped how could anyone go wrong with this. I almost think this is a better case than the HTC one, as that already broke on me after a month's use. However, after only using this one for a few hours there are already light scratches on it. I don't care about that, because it's purpose is to protect my phone. I'm considering buying another one or two of these to keep on hand, in the event that this one breaks on me. It's that good. My only concern now is how much dust is going to get trapped under it, hopefully not enough to warrant a dismantling & cleaning. If you're looking for a case, go get yourself one of these. You won't be disappointed.
Here's 18 photos I took of the case protecting my G2 for your viewing pleasure - https://picasaweb.google.com/dustrho/CLEARHardSnapOnCaseCoverForG2#

Wow, no replies.
Thinking about buying a couple more of these, as I love this case. It's easily the best one I've purchased so far for my G2. Sure, there are some scratches on the back of it now, but what do you expect for something that's clear and made out of cheap plastic? The one thing I really enjoy about this case, is that it seems to have fixed my "screen wobbling" issue (no more!).
If you need a case for your G2, this is the one.

Looks good. I found a softish one

does it obstruct the top row keyboard by a tiny bit? my fingers are big so it is important to me that it doesn't

Had that case before my current black one, liked it a lot, but with 1 problem. After a week or so of being in your pocket it collects dust and lint under the case and it looks dirty lol so I would take it off and clean it like every week then finally the little hinges that hold it on broke other then that it did the job.

No, it doesn't interfere with the top row of buttons on the physical keyboard. That top piece has a cutout so it sits flush. You can see it in the picture below...

Thanks OP I got mine in the mail yesterday and I really like it.

You're welcome.
I had to take the case off the other day to do a battery pull (bad ROM flashing put me in a boot loop), and I have to say it was pretty easy getting it off. Nowhere near as difficult as the HTC OEM hard shell case or the cheap black one that was on sale at Amazon. So, I'm glad I got this case, and just need to order myself a couple extra for backup purposes.

I got one last week it looks like that one but is black and has a soft feel to it.

thanks for the TIP! this is a great case.

G2 Android Pouches + Stitchings

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:
http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=4791&t_mode=des
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.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

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.

Check Ebay. That's where I got mine. They go for between $4-$7.

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.

Vynil Skin for Omnia 7

Found a great website for skins http://www.gelaskins.com/store/skins/phones/Samsung_Omnia_7
Theres alot of pre set artistic skins and if you cant find what you like you can create your own custom one on the website
I live in Ireland and it took two weeks to get it from the USA. Though you can opt in for express delivery that costs more
The skin is very nice and HQ. Solves the lack of grip on the handset and protects from scratches So pretty happy that i can ditch my sillicon case that adds on thickness

Awesome mate! where'd you get it?

Address above www.gelaskins.com

These look great , can you describe how they fit please ? (can't work out exactly what they are)
Cheers

They come on a sheet of vynil with
Like a template. Its like applying a screen protector for the rest of the phone. It takes a bit to get right
Just dont push it down as soon as you apply the vynil cause you will need to take it off and reapply to make it straight and stretch to cover up all the places correctly (i can guarantee that) Took me 5 mins and i was taking it easy

Sounds great . I bought a slightly slidy case like another in this forum which is good but this sounds much better . As long as it helps with the grip issue

Yeah since it doesnt increase the size of the phone dramatically like a plastic case would

Aye that's the attraction for me , ordered the "mod" one

I hate plastic cases, they make a high end phone look cheap, I always get gelaskins for my devices. This is mine:

Mine arrived today , will fit it later on or tomorrow

FANTASTIC! I want order immediately two.

@evolutionqy7
your gelaskins provides a screen protector or front cover should be mounted over my current screen protector?

No screen protector
Id say just put it over the actual skin

My screen protector covers the whole face of the phone, so I put the skin over it.

Thanks alot, I´ll try it

My new skin from gelaskins... made by myself

That looks so cool I need to get me one of those Eboy ones

I order one yesterday.
But i have a question, if you put a screen protector and the this skin, the butons responde good???
2 plastic over the butons maybe are excesive, ¿?
Other method is cut the screen protector and adjust to fit with the screen, i will try it
