PS, its coming in the following colors:
Black, Sapphire Blue, Burgundy, Amethyst
and
you can get it with or without a holster.
Any idea how long its going to take to come to market? Is it more like a few weeks or months. Is was just about to get a skinomi skin for the phone and a leather carrying case 4 work but I will be more interested in this if this and the holster would be available within the next few weeks
No going to make it.
I called and the person on the phone said they won't be making the case. Hope they are wrong.
I had emailed them on thursday or friday and receive a quick reply back stating that it isnt available yet but to keep checking back on the website because it is updated first.
Ok great i figured the guy i talked to really don't know what was going on.
According the the website, they are NOW SHIPPING in BLACK.
And i just contacting them and as the website says, IN STOCK.
I just received my combo case.. It's very nice, the purple(amethyst) is shipping now also...
I just received this case in the mail. Any tips on how to remove this thing?
I had to basically destroy mine to get it off. Its an awesome case if you never want to remove it...

No need to be so dramatic...
It IS basically impossible to remove without tools, but pretty easy with a little help.
I used a razor blade to carefully lift the bottom piece of the shell up so it would release the latch from the top piece (without doing ANY damage to the phone or case). Next time I need to get it off, I think I'm going to try a thin guitar pick, since I won't have to be so carefull with those rounded edges...
I'll let ya'll know how it goes.
EDIT:
I think I like the tight fit on my phone, but for those of you who anticipate having to get at the sim, sd, and battery often - you might think about putting a piece of scotch tape between the two halves of the shell. The case will still hold on pretty well, but you won't have ANY problem getting it apart without tools in a hurry...

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.
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.
Was checking out eBay cases and found this gem.

I'm not associated with this seller/auction, HOWEVER, I have purchased this exact case (but in all black) from this specific seller and can recommend both. It's a three-piece case with silicone in the middle and a hard (but slightly grippy still) front/back that snap together. I think this is really the most protective case available so far for the Nexus 4. And unlike many other cases that snap, this one makes me feel a bit more confident that the small plastic pieces aren't going to break like they do on so many cheap cases. That said, I've only had this case for a week, so we'll see...
The cutouts are perfect, buttons feel great, and if I were going to drop my phone or knock it off of the table, I'd really be hoping I have this case on it when I do! Ultimately, I got this as my going-to-the-gym case, otherwise I use a Meifeng. But it is a beast of a case - don't get this to be anything but a beast, and a mug o' beer, of course!
If you want to search for the other designs for this case, search for "e960 case tuff" (no quotes) on eBay.
Also, I *am* able to charge my phone on the LG Qi pad with this case on. It must be *perfectly* placed but it charges just fine then. If you take the back hard plastic piece off, then you can move it around much more.
"Oh Yeah! Time for a Beer!"
LOL... Might lose it in a night club or at a bar!
Only if we knew if it fit any of the Seidio holsters active or surface, I'd be all over this like white on rice (don't worry, I'm Asian lol)
That case looks awesome!
Could you post some pictures of how it fits onto the phone?
Interesting.:laugh:
Found this on ebay yesterday, really like the case and am going to buy it! I thought of getting the beer style, but as I will take this case with me on drinking nights, I advised myself not to buy the beer style, because I might be raising my phone instead of my glass occasionally!

It wouldn't take you long to realize your mistake...
Just received the white black version of this case. Its actually pretty nice. It feels good in hand and looks like it would protect the phone pretty well.
The only cons are, it has a weird smell, pretty strong plastic smell and also proximity sensor doesn't work too well, like for it doesn't work for phone calls.
FYI
So back to the Poetic Bumper

With the beer, no. But in solid colors, yes. As I stated, I own the solid black version.

Bought on eBay for $6.00 from someone in Brooklyn. Very simplistic. Adds a nice grip feel. Doesn't provide any impact protection from drops over two feet. I'm pretty sure about that statement. When otter box releases a commuter or defender I'll be switching. Overall for general wear and tear protection, the best $6 spent for this phone.

Suffered a nice fall today. Was walking looking at an email. Shoulder checked a massive column in a mall. Silver Bezel on bottom took a nice ding. Rest of phone is fine, no cracks to front or back. Ordered a diztronic case. If it wasn't for the exposed top and bottom of the case it would have been fine. It did however protect the two most important parts of the phone. So it gets an A- in its short time of use. Lesson learned, pay attention when walking.

I'm still waiting for Nillkin to release a TPU case! Surely these hard cases do nothing to dampen the impact?

Yes, especially when it hits marble. Its not bad but disheartening considering its less than 48 hours old. Fortunately, rooted 4.2.2 with the new boot loader and radio put a huge smile on my face and the diztronic will cover it up anyway. I'm fortunate that nothing broke, and its still just a phone.

Do you find the case slick/slippery to the touch/hold? I have one, but felt the plastic was too slick even with the pebbled surface and decided to switch to a ballistic. I do like it and if the phone wasn't covered in glass, I might have stuck with it.
Yeah it was a little slippery. that's how I ended up losing grip.

I just got this case today, and so far I'm loving it. The case feels very comfortable to hold.
The material feels very nice and high quality.
Its capable of standing horizontally for watching youtube videos or anything else you do in landscape mode.
The front, back, and closing strap all have magnets built in. When using the case as a stand, the closing strap can be bent backwards to the back of the case and it stays thanks to the magnets, keeping it out of the way.
I don't have a scale capable of weighing the case, but it doesn't add too much weight.
This has 3 card slots as seen below. Once you put a card in a few times, it gets a little looser, making it easier to insert them. The more cards you add, the bigger it will look when closed. With my 3 cards inserted, the case still closes with no fuss.
The case does stick out around the camera and flash. Even though it does, the flash is not crippled by this. To take pictures, you have to keep the wallet flap portion out of the way as it will cover the lens.
The plastic holster you see (where you insert the phone) has a small lip that surrounds the phone to protect it if you were to drop it on the face. I found it easier to insert the top portion first.

For only about $8, this is hard to beat.

This might ruin it for you, but I got the same case in the Seafoam Green colour, and enjoyed it somewhat at first. Then my friend showed me his "screen auto-turn on" wallet case, and let me try it for a weekend. I could never go back to this case afterwards. I then went, on the double, back to Amazon to purchase his case, and have been happy with it since: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C54IEI4/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yeah, it took me a long while too, until I got the name of the manufacturer off the case itself. Don't know why it isn't prominent in Amazon searches.
whoa the one suggested by king cole seems much cooler since i've been using s-view cover...but sadly enough they don't sell it on amazon canada
