Thought this was worth passing on. Been looking for a N1 case and came across Waterfield Designs SFBags - WaterField Designs - Laptop Bags - Laptop Sleeves - Checkpoint Friendly - Travel Cases - Made in USA. I was looking for something minimalist, and inexpensive, but not cheap, and they offer a product called the Suede Jacket for the N1 that seemed to fit the bill. In addition I, like many of you, am always looking for a good cause and through February 28, 2010, they will donate 5% of all Nexus One case sales to the international medical humanitarian organization, Doctors Without Borders, for Haiti earthquake victim relief. Again, for those of you who are looking for a case at a good price ($9.00) and contribute to a good cause, check out this company. Their customer support has been great so far, and I will be doing a review when I receive the product.
Link would of been nice but since I decided to search myself...

It looks good, little expensive IMO. 9 for just the sleeve and 13 for a sleeve with a pocket. Maybe if it was 5 bucks for the sleeve and 9 for the sleeve with a pocket I might bite. But seeing how a portion of this is going to Haiti that's understandable.. I'll give them that.
For me it's just a little too $ for something so simple that I can make at home with my sowing machine(though i'm sure most of you don't have one) I actually made the same thing but white for my iPod Touch about a year ago.
SFBags makes awesome stuff. Made in USA (last time I checked) ... I have a laptop bag of theirs, which was expensive, but it still looks new 3 laptops later
I looked at the bags, what is different in the bag they provides for the Nexus one with the sleeve which is supplied in the nexus one package?
Thanks.

So is this a sleeve/pouch the phone slides into, or is it like a gel case?
its similar to the neoprene case that comes with the phone, but since its suede its thinner material and allows the audio(which is already quiet) pass through a little better, PLUS this also has a small pocket on one side that can be used as a credit / id / business card pocket
Awesome sleeve
Just wanted to bump this thread because of an awesome product.
I just dropped my N1 on concrete while trying to get in my car/fiddling with keys . That's about a 4 ft drop. luckily it was in this sleeve. no scratches whatsoever. I have their neoprene sleeve for my laptop but this suede jacket is awesome. It feels just like a thin piece of cloth but it very resilient and cleans the screen too. not bulky at all.
finally! a cheap(er) full body skin NOT from zagg.
i bought a few of these for my iphone 3g and htc hero and they're great quality.
i9000 full body skin for $6.99
buy 3 or more skins for free shipping...
you can buy 3 of these and it'll still be cheaper than buying 1 zagg skin... lol
wahooooooooooooooooo!
Hmm interesting, I was going to order a Zagg shield for my new toy on payday but have been put off slightly by the (frankly ridiculous) cost of it. Are these ones any good? Do they cover the entire body of the phone and do they come with any fitting help such as applicators or anything special?
from the diagram of the skin on the site, it looks like it actually has more coverage than the zagg shields, due to the additional extra side pieces (covers the chrome coloured edges). i haven't actually received mine yet, so i can't confirm this.
but from the htc hero/iphone 3g ones i've ordered before, it's the water+detergent method instead of the 'special' spray(that seems to cost as much as gold) you get with zagg.
BSE is very popular on red flag deals (THE canadian bargain hunter site), and you can read about other people's experiences.
something krappy that does happen is that it will yellow a bit (oxidation? sun exposure?), but i only noticed on my iphone 3g because of the white back (can't tell on my black hero). i think the yellowing is just what happens to plastic over time (think of
it however doesn't come in the fancy package that zagg does, but it comes in an envelope, and is advised that you to tell ppl(aka wife/gf/etc) that the envelope with best skins ever is not PORN
hopefully my BSE skin will arrive soon, I kind of regret buying my zagg skin now...
ps. you can prolly find coupon codes for BSE for like %15 off, just look online.
pss. haha, i don't work for BSE, i just hate watching ppl waste money on over priced items.
oooh, gadget shield has it too... $7 free shipping...
Thanks for the info, I ordered 2 to try one out and see what its like. Will report back when it arrives.
Thanks again
I got a skin from http://www.gadgetshieldz.com/samsun...protectors-cases-skins-invisible-shields.html and I like it way better than the Zagg thing as it's less rubbery feeling.
Try this.

If you wanna get some skin on i9000, try this

While not *entirely* full body, gelaskins are still the coolest around. The material used is of superb quality, I got one for my iPod a few years ago, and both the iPod and the skin still look brand new.
ohh sexy skins ^^
bought 1 of these for my iphone 3g, and storm1. it looks and feels nice when you hold the phone, giving kind of grip to my palm. but it didn't last long before it starts becoming orange/brownish color and peeling off (last only max 2-3 months after first installed). so i decided not to waste more for my sgs. am looking for something like incipio feather lite.

Hi,
We @ OMG Android are looking to have a new contest when the Desire HD launches.
We are thinking about giving away an accessory, however I want the option of the people who are planning to buy one of these amazing phones.
What prize would be better?
A case, a screen protector etc?
Thanks for any input
a leather sleeve for the phone? or a set of screen protectors !
Well the phone doesn't come with a case or screen protectors so any of those!
I won't bother protecting glass, just don't put phone with keys in the same pocket.
I'd need car dock and maybe dlna2hdmi docking and charging station.
Parrot bluetooth radio please
some sort of sleeve.
sleeve !!
A nice sleeve :-D
Similer to the one that came with the N1 :-D
Thread closed.
Regards,
i cant believe that the only things available specifically for the G2 are just skins and covers. ive been carrying my phone in my pocket for a week now and its driving me nuts. i had a seidio spring clip holster for my nexus and every blackberry before that had a leather belt holster and my phones before that all had belt holsters like my nexus. where they all at for the G2? i may have to go hunting for a universal belt holster which will typically have some kind of compromise, be it a non-rotating belt clip, a belt clip that can easily slip off, rough parts on the inside to scratch the phone, overly powerful magnets, etc.
is everyone just putting their G2 in their pocket?
i thought they had the belt clip with the rotating thing at the tmobile stores. It is with the stock "gel black" case and it had a stub that sticks out and you can slide into the belt clip.
it sucks to put it in my pant pocket, i've been going out w/ jackets lately so i put it in there.
At frys electronics I got a top load belt clip messanger case from cellet for 15 bucks. Micro suede lining its pretty nice. Only bad part is no swivel on the clip.

Well there are alot of after market case that you can find at any electronic stores like best buy,frys etc that will fit the phone or you can always use ebay or amazon
Dude Tmo stores have atleast 2 options...1 from Tmo and the other from body glove. The BG one has a kick stand all...weighs a ton though...
htc evo pouch works good with the g2 ive bee using my dads evo pouch
The faux leather G1 clip/holster fits the G2 very nicely. And it was only $2 when T-Mo was doing their clearance sale.
Go on ebay and pick out a holster that fits the G1 and it will fit the G2.
I received my G2 one day before the official release, went to my local tmo store and promptly had them install screen protection and the closest thing that works for me is a toploading leather tmo holster made for the MT3G slide, it was a snug fit but being leather it broke in (stretched) quick, bad side effect is some of the leather die rubbed off onto the grey corners of the G2 (anybody know best way to remove pls let me know). it fits close to the body, looks professional and the clips slips into jeans pocket or belt.
maybe they stopped making them because everybody realized how lame they make you look haha
I have 2 belt clips for my G1 and the G2 fits just fine. I bought them off ebay.
The cellet holster I got fits great.... made for iDrone4 so yeah this device is almost the same dimensions so just pick one that is close. Body glove shells are the sux stay away!

The dye on those fake leather holsters messed up my G1. I don't know how to get those stains off. Isopropyl alcohol didn't work. Any suggestions?

thanks to those that actually provided useful replies. sounds like i should look for G1 items. guess ill head to microcenter and bestbuy and see what they have.
Using the HTC Branded leather holster I found at bestbuy and really liking it. Suede lining makes me feel better about not having a hard case on my phone.
i picked up three leather belt holster from walgreens for 10 bucks. to the guy with the lame comment, ya it looks real professional digging your phone out of your pocket when its rigging.

I'm with you. I haven't seen anyone under the age of 50 rockin a holster or belt clip for their phone since 1998.
That being said, I'm sure there's plenty of universal type pouches with belt clips that work with the G2. Its a pretty standard size phone.

Ouch!
I guess pocket protectors & belt clip/holsters are for us nerds only. Shiz, i thought i was still cool rockin' my startac & nextel i90 phones as backup.

I was using a Cellet holster that I had for my Blackberry, and it fit really well (except my G2 poked out of the top a little bit). The dye inside started to rub off on the grey parts of my phone near the trackpad. I couldn't get it off either.
"Luckily" I had some issues with the power button and got the phone replaced. With the new one, I applied a full matte PhantomSkinz and am using a Belkin slim holster meant for an iPhone 3G/3GS. It's a little tight, but will probably stretch out over time.
The inside is grey, so if any of the dye does rub off, I probably won't notice. Plus I have the skin there I can just replace.
Ive been hunting Amazon trying to find a case to order and stumbled on this, its a polycarbonate (hard), snap on case with a machined metal back? Looks really cool, but offers no protection to the top or bottom, but I love how it looks and figured I'd post it up..
Anyone seen or use this?
