Post your thoughts below

I like it. It has a certain appeal. As long as it is sufficiently thin, I think the block or slab look of it could work.

My calculations is that it would be around 10mm thick. a little thicker than an iPhone but not noticeable ( iPhone is 9.4 i believe )

That would be right at perfect, then. It could probably even go to 11mm. As that is the thickness of my HD2, which received praise from a friend for being very thin.

I can do some metal working, so I can probably make this phone by using another phone's internals. uhm...

I guess I'll have to wait for that, I'm still curious to see how the extended battery is going to look or if they will manage to keep it pretty flush.
I would bet some of the best extended batteries will end up being similar to the HD2 ones, where they have a kick stand built in!
As for case, there are some gels starting to roll out, and what not, but given that the phone is not even a month old, not as much as we would like. Give it a couple months, and most all accessories that are available for the iPhone will be out for this.

I guess if you drop it a lot..otherwise it's gross...
Its looks like it might interfere slightly with the right and left edges of the screen. I'm thinking that it probably doesn't provide much more protection than the Case-Mate while the Case-Mate is IMHO much more pleasing to the eye.
For some reason that one just doesn't look good on the Nexus.
Do you really need something else to hinder the antenna's signal?
Who the **** would use that? seriously. You pay so much for a state of the art device, and you want to wrap it in a $5 piece of aluminium... for what purpose exactly?
This is great, its bullet proof. It might save you. LOL.
what an ugly piece of **** that is. yuck

It's definately NOT bullet proof. Aluminum is one of the softest metals. It'd be rad if they could make the Aluminum look like black gunmetal. Mmmmm. I'd get that.

DIY would be the option, find some good lenses and send them to be cut into small size;
get a small plastic wheel which looks like this

Spigen slim armor review.

So I had just gotten the slim armor case today (dodger blue). My first thoughts when I opened the package was "wow is blue, really nice blue". The overall feel is absolutely amazing. I haven't ever held a phone with a case with so much comfort. Its lightweight and seems to offer a great deal amount of protection with the least amount of bulk. Also they are nice enough to add free home button colors to go with it black, orange, and white.
The look of it is outstanding. every hole was cut out with perfection and not rough edges or color misplacement. The buttons are,as others said, a bit tough to press, but not discouraging as they are comfortable and wont allow for the "accidental" presses.
The one downside that I have noticed is when taking it off and putting it on that sometimes the lips catch and you have to pull on the little rubber to get it flush. But that is the only current issue I have.
I know the review is small right now but I just got it and have only used it for 4 hours so more will be reviewed when I use it more.

[Q] Anyone sorted out the horrible white ear piece?

So... i have the white version but absolutely hate the white ear piece grill.... tempted to colour it in with a permanent marker, anyone given it a go?!

Yup, best mod yet. lol Sharpie took care of it pretty easily, two or three applications. Don't miss the white.
Wicked!!! And it didnt leave a purple tint ay all?
Also did you have to pin price the grill? Seems to have clogged up some of the holes.

I just used a thin slice of charcoal antistatic packaging foam. Makes it look level and keeps stuff out. I used nail clippers to trim it just so.
Not to knock the opinions here but I like the white. At a quick glance, I can always tell which side is up.

I agree too and with my option, I can always go back to that look
