Looks good but nothing's going to pull me away from my Trident case

Just ordered one myself. Been looking for something like this.
I just received mine in the mail. I don't know how I feel about it yet, so I'll just post observations.
1) The holster appears to be of much cheaper quality than my Seidio holster.
2) The holster is dimensionally similar to the Seidio, and in fact, the same cases that will fit in my Seidio holster also fit perfectly in this holster (seidio surface, nillkin cases, and this new aquaflex case).
3) The pictures showed being able to insert the phone with the case into the holster with the screen showing, as well...However, there is no possible way to do this without damaging it, that I can see. I needed to take the case off in order to insert the phone into the case that way (with the case off, it does fit well with the screen facing you).
4) The belt clip has a neat "kick-stand" feature, by snapping the clip into the plastic tab. You can also adjust the angle that the phone will sit facing you. However, make sure you have battery life, because you are unable to plug in a charger while it's in the holster.
5) The HDMI output is not blocked by the holster (Seidio holster covers the hdmi output). I suppose this could be useful if you intend on hdmi mirroring a presentation or something. Limited, but potentially useful, feature.
6) The flex case goes on easier than any other case I have, by far...and I have 8 of them now...it simply pops right over the phone. However, the removal of the case is among the more difficult of all my cases. It is even more difficult than my Trident Aegis...the only reason I would rate it easier to remove than the Aegis, is that it is 1 piece, rather than 2.
7) I can see that it will take me getting used to the buttons. They are covered by the case, but they do have a molded form to them. So on the case, the power and volume buttons feel as they do on the phone. However, sometimes when you push them in, the case dampens the "click" you normally would feel. So it just feels different. It is just as responsive, and doesn't seem to require any more effort to push than without the case, but it does feel different, and will take me getting used to it.
8) The case has a good feel to it. Does not have that gel quality that snags on your pocket liner.
9) It is dimensionally almost identical to the Seidio Surface case. Slightly bulkier than the Nillkin cases, but definitely provide more protection.
10) The color scheme of this case seems to match the G2x very well.
11) The seam line from the molding process is definitely visible, and someone raised. In two spots on mine, there is excess material. I think I can trim that down pretty easily with a blade.
12) The screen protector feels pretty smooth. It seems a bit thicker than I would like, but the cutouts are perfect. It is, however, of the narrower variety...narrower than the protector that came on my phone from T-mobile. I will not be installing this on my phone.
edit: I just discovered that I can sit my phone (with the case on) in just the bottom lip of the holster, and adjust the "kick-stand" back to the deepest decline and the phone will be facing me at a proper angle for watching video in landscape mode. This is definitely a plus, because I didn't want to have to take the case off during the day (unless I have to battery pull, but that has become basically non-existent since I started using Trigger 2x rom). BTW, this can also be done in portrait mode...but is somewhat less stable (you have to touch the screen softly).
another edit: If I can obtain another camera to take some good pics, I'll take pics of what I'm talking about so it's easier to follow what I'm describing.
I just got this case ordered hopefully I get it this week

Anyone used this case? I REALLY don't want to put a case on my Nexus One, but it's also so slim and thin that I am going to drop it eventually.
Silly as it is, I don't want the whole phone covered up, so while the Innocase Surface II looks decent it also covers up the phone.. The Boxwave Pure Crystal Slip doesn't, but I can't find any reviews on it.
Anyone used one of these things? I don't use the dock, although I do use a horizontal belt case so I might have to get one that's slightly bigger as the N1 barely fits in the existing one, but I can deal with that.. That would happen for any case honestly, except for a skin.. I do like Best Skin Ever, but the last two I've bought seem to not be quite as "tacky" as the first few I had, therefore the grip wasn't quite as good. Maybe my imagination..
I bought the Boxwave case off amazon a month ago probably. its a nice case but save your money and buy a resin case from dcmugen on ebay, exact same thing with a different logo. its a nice case though, not too thick and easy to take on and off (I use both docks) so it fits my needs quite well.
Boxwave here. Nice thin and classy. Has rubber feel but not too soft either. It's a pretty good case makes phone look ten times better in my opinion. Is easily recommend it, but I don't use docks, so can't help there. Never the less, happy casing.
DC Mugen FTW. eBay - Epik Case. I got two cases for $8 including shipping and two screen protectors.
check out the cyclone crystal clip from boxwave - it looks even better (sry cant post link)

Ah, I see.. I still think I prefer the Pure, no patterns on it, but otherwise the same.. Looks like Boxwave has the Cyclone (circle patterns), diamonds, a matte finish, some others..
Still haven't decided on which case.... I've always been disappointed in silicone cases, but I've almost always bought cheap $2 eBay ones..
I went with the Boxwave Pure Crystal Slip, we'll see when it arrives! God knows when, I had two shipping options.. 5-10 days ($2) or 1-3 days ($23!!)
So I'll see in 5-10 days
I got the Clear Pure Crystal Slip yesterday. Here's a quick review:
Overall, I like it and will likely use it when I'm out and about. It gives a much more secure grip on the phone without adding any weight or feeling larger. Although honestly I still think the Nexus One is a little TOO thin and a little slippery. This makes that better.
It feels like a cheap case, it's rubbery and smooth. If your hands are wet or oily it might be MORE slippery, don't know yet. In reality it seems pretty well made, and fits well. The Clear Pure version is crystal clear, no tint, no patterns, and you can clearly see the phone is a Nexus One.
I'm not doing any drop testing, but I think if the phone landed on a corner or an end this case could protect it. It's firm but pliable, not squishy like a silicone case and not a hard case. Primarily I think it'll protect it because it'll be LESS LIKELY to get dropped because the surface is a tackier and more surface area on the sides. I can pick up the phone with two fingers securely now, where before I'd have to tilt the phone up and get fingers under it to pick it up.
If anyone wants pictures I can do that, haven't yet...
Price summary: If it were $15 it'd be a deal. $20 seems too much.
Pros:
You can see see it's a Nexus. Google branding, colors, body build
It's thin, firm, and fits tightly
Covers up the power and volume buttons, but made to fit over them. Maybe a little rain resistance?
Adds better grip, more confidence holding the phone
Does not interfere with any ports (except a little on the power plug, see below)
Does not interfere with any openings (speaker, mics, camera, camera flash)
Does not interfere with the screen, particularly near the edges
Does not obscure the speaker when phone is on its back
Lets you lay the phone down face-down without resting on the trackball
Covers all corners, edges, entire back.
Cons:
It has a molding line all around it.. It's not that visible but you can feel it. Sides aren't smooth
Covers up the power and volume buttons, but made to fit over them. Makes it too easy to hit the buttons, and you can't feel the button very well (to feel it when touching) nor feel the action of the button itself.
Seems to make the stock charger plug (maybe others too) not feel "in", I think there's too much material around the plug
Takes away the nice texture and feel of the Nexus One
Thumb hits the case a little scrolling down on the trackball, but it doesn't make it harder to use
Other notes:
Does not protect the camera lens or the screen at all
Mine was clearly used, fingerprints all over and in the box backwards :/
A slim belt case intended for the N1 is too small to fit with this case
There is a weird cutout to the left of the HTC logo in the case, like maybe a hand strap could go there?

That case does look nice but 20 dollars seems a bit excessive. Look at other Amazon items. I found one for 5 dollars shipped that is pretty similar and doesn't have the hole in the back. http://www.amazon.com/Google-Crysta...X1DSC0SAJ94E&s=generic&qid=1275242975&sr=1-27

I have that case as well as the Crystal Boxwave slip.
The Boxwave one:
- Is clearer obviously (not the "smoked look").
- Fits a good deal tighter.
- Has a full cover for the lip, not the chin strap method of attaching.
- Has Boxwave written across the back.
I actually prefer the patterned one because it's more interesting, both detract from the Nexus, so it might as well add some flavor, right? The Boxwave one is far tighter fitting (and slightly thinner) but neither is going to come off in any kind of normal use. I also own the desktop dock, so I need to take it off on occasion to allow the phone to fit. Both cover all the buttons, so you have to get used to pressing them through the rubber. They also both have that edge around the edge of the case from being molded.
Anywho, just my $0.02

Speaking of 2 cents...there are a lot of auctions for the patterned Nexus One cases for 99 cents. http://stores.ebay.com/Cimo-Cases_G...15QQ_sidZ192097565QQ_trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em322 I wish I knew about this before

And those are probably worth at least $1.10...... Sometimes you really have to make a minimal investment to get something useful.
No separate thread on this case so I figured i'd make one, as IMHO it's the best out there for our device, and also the best solution to the slippery battery door issue. Here's my mini review:
The Kickstand case, I got from eBay, for $11 shipped w/ tax (just search for "fascinate kickstand"), which is half off the in store price you'll find. The case has a slight rubberized / soft touch finish, and has a grip pattern in it, which makes it much easier to hold onto. It's quite thin, except for a bump caused by the kickstand, which is leveled so the phone lays flat, by some "feet" on the back. That slight bump I actually like, because I can easily tell which way the phone is oriented in my hand without looking at it. It provides nice protection to the sides and corners and back, so I think it will provide added drop protection. It fits very tight, I wouldn't expect it to come off ever. What I really like, is that it barely protrudes above the front of the phone at all, it adds a very slight lip at the sides, and that's it. This keeps the phone quite flat/thin still and doesn't change how you'd interact with the screen at all. The slight lip should help protect the screen too. All the cutouts are excellent in positioning, and provide nice "cover" for the side buttons against accidental actuation.
Probably the nicest thing of all which I didn't expect, is that the Kickstand works in both Portrait with the phone vertical, and horizontal in landscape, due to the way they positioned the kickstand on the back. It works great - this takes care of one of the things I missed from my Touch Pro2 (the tilting screen). It also has a tensioner, which allows you to tweak the angle in horizontal/landscape a bit because it's "stiff". For the $11 I paid for it, it's worth every penny and seems quite solid/well engineered for the price.
Only downside I see is that it's a bit tougher to take the battery out of course.
Highly recommended!
Also, I missed the idea of using this with a holster, but found a decent universal horizontal belt pouch case that fits nice with even this kickstand case on. This auction is just one seller, there are many instances of this exact same case on ebay listed under multiple names:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270648647873
Just look for "carbon droid x pouch" or "carbon galaxy pouch" etc etc, to find one. The brand name is "Luxmo" on the package, the model is "LPHTCHD2CF1HBK". It says it's a "Leather Pouch for Google Nexus 1 / HTC HD2".
They're all the same case/pouch. What I like about this is you can use it with the belt hook for easy removal, OR use the belt loops for a more permanent one - it has magnetic closure, fits the kickstand case well, sits nicely on my belt, has good cushioning. It's easy to remove the phone using the hole in the bottom, just push up on it and the phone pops out. I also like the "carbon fiber look" it has, looks just like my holster belt I wear this on. There are plain leather versions just like this as well, that I'm sure are made the same way / fit the same.
I use this case as well. Being an employee ive tried every case we sell and this is by far the best looking one and adds very minimal bulk to the phone. I love it!

I also have this case and it is by far the best one I've tried on. The kickstand is really nice.
The OEM kickstand case seems to have a bad design IMO. The reason I say this is when you watch a movie the volume rocker is at the bottom and not easily accessible. Watching video is the point of the kickstand so why hide the volume controls at the bottom? This was the first thing I noticed when I saw the case at Verizon.

Um, that's more a fault of the design of the phone itself. I sorta agree, except Samsung shoulda put the volume should on the right side of the phone, and the power at the top. The normal rotation for landscape is counter clockwise, so the speaker is at the left, and the soft buttons on the right. This is because most are right handed so they're likely to want to use the soft buttons with their right thumb.
So it's no fault of the case that when the phone is rotated normally, the volume rocker is at the bottom. Not like that's a big deal ... just pick it up and change the volume lol.
Also this kickstand works when the phone is vertical/portrait, so it's one of the best kickstand designs I've seen for any phone, as many phone's built in kickstands or kickstand cases, only work in landscape/horizontal.
I third the rec for this case. Its much better than the hard silicone version I tried first, and it allows me to use the phone as a much more useful media screen when on my nighstand or plugged in on my desk at work.
Just ordered the Verizon one yesterday (thank you, 35% accessory discount) and should have it tomorrow or Wednesday. By the looks of it, I'm going to like it.
link to the actual case?
I've had this case since day 1, yeah it sucks about the volume being covered in horizontal but it's an awesome case, and I don't want to change it at all (I've changed cases roughly every month with my other phones)

Just search eBay as I mentioned for "fascinate kickstand" - there is only one case like this, you'll find it right away, sellers are selling it new for $11 shipped.
Got my case yesterday. Love it.
I really like it too, been through 3 or 4 others, this is the best.
I can vouch for the kickstand case too. Without the case, my phone felt flimsy and I was afraid I'll drop it any moment. Now it feels much more solid and comfortable.
On an aside note, do NOT get the screen protectors from Verizon. They suck.
I have the kick stand case too and i love it. i use the kick stand all the time.
nice
got this case based on your guys' recommendations and it's pretty sweet. It's not that grippy silicone that sticks in your pocket. It's got like a nice matte finish and feels pretty solid. Also, the edges don't rise up too high like other cases do so it doesn't get in the way when you're using the touchscreen.
Yeah. VZW(or whoever they get it from) really got this one right. Not to big, but it does add some substance. Good grip, but not sticky. Protects the phone, but doesn't hide the lines.
A+

I notice that it has pretty substantial cut outs at the top of the phone, any idea if this case is car or desk dock friendly by chance?
I picked one of these up based on this thread and I am happy I did. Very nice fit. Feels good and grippy in the hand - kickstand is a bonus. Great on my desk and nightstand.
Wouldn't change a thing.

I'm asking for this for the holidays. I've heard nothing but great things about it. I currently have the OEM silicone case, and it's nothing special.
I purchased the ----> Trident Cyclops <---- case after looking at it and the Otterbox.
What sold me on the Trident Cyclops was the ----> DEMO video <----. And the overall price. I ended up buying it from their eBay store. You can see the video by searching on eBay for "trident cyclops fascinate". Scroll down a bit and view the video.
I really wanted to protect the phone from scratches and drops. The video made feel like it would satisfy those 2 main requirements.
I also like the fact that I could chose from a selection of colors. I chose the Red & Black, Go Georgia Bulldogs!
After getting it and putting it on I love the grip the silicone gives me. The Ribbed sides now give me a great feeling of hold.
The screen protector doesn't seem to impede the sensitivity of the touch screen at all. It makes flush contact with the screen all over. And the screen has responded to my every whim. It is early and I'll see how this holds up.
The sensor that detects when its close to my face is not blocked and the screen cuts off as it is supposed too.
And the port/HP covers are very snug and stay in place when closed. They are easy to open also. They also give enough room to plug in my charger and HP without hindering it. If your HP jack is thicker than normal and doesn't plug flush because of the case no worries. They did include an 3.5mm extension jack. You plug your HP into it and it plugs into your phone jack. But I have some ear buds and a nice set of head phones and I didn't need the extension jack.
With the case on it also seems like it would protect it from incidental water contact. I don't believe it would protect it from drops in water that submerged it. But if you spilled water on it it would give some buffer from water damage compared to without the case.
Add to all of this the price was good too at 25$.
The only cons I have encountered as of now is the pull down menu is a little hard to get at due to the case. It is an easy adjustment. I just adjust the angle of my finger to side swipe it. Maybe since I got the case the same day as I got the phone. The phone went right in the case and I never had the chance to get used to the pull down menu without it.
Also the slip resistant silicone can also make it harder that without the case to slide into you pocket. But I feel that is a necessary consequence when gaining the security of it not sliding off what I lay it on. But this would be the same with all cases that have a silicone outer covering.
All in all I am very satisfied with the case.
I will add to my review later when I have had more experience with the case. give an long term review. Plus Ill add some links to the video later when I have earned the right to post links here.

Ok so i see several posts involving the Neo Hybrid but none with pictures with the phone in it, at least that i found. So i figured i would post with my thoughts and a few photos.
I personally love the Neo Hybrid case and have been a fan of the design since the first one i bought for my Note II. Its slim, doesn't add much bulk, and gives a bit of protection, though not a lot. It's easy to install and fits the phone perfectly, all the holes seem to line up nice and neat. I am using it with a MIME glass screen protector and it still fits over the edges without issue. Im unsure whether they will release just the frames or not, but if they do it makes changing the look of your case easy and inexpensive.
The only issues i have with the case are that it does make it even harder to get the USB cover open, the protection it adds isn't enough to protect from a decent fall, and the plastic buttons feel loose and rattle a bit.
A couple other things to note are that the case does add a small lip to protect the camera and Spigen did also put a taper in the rubber below the heart rate sensor to allow clearance so you could still use it. That being said, i have larger hands and still have a hard time getting a reading without fussing with the sensor quite a bit.
Thank you for the actual pic and content. The side view makes it look like a iPhone lol.
I just got my case today.
It does add a little bit of bulk to the phone.
Also, for the life of me, I can not get the charging cover off with the case on the phone.
The case looks great though, but I think the above points are going to be a deal killer for me. It's too bad, as I really like how the case looks (I got the red border).
I should be getting a cheap ebay TPU case tomorrow to try out. Hopefully will be slimmer and allow the charging cover to be opened easier.
I finally received my review case Wednesday evening in the mail. I immediately put it on to get a feel for how it differs from my (then) current Incipio NGP slim case. I should preface this review by stating that I prefer casing to be as minimal as possible. I feel that a bulky phone and case can be cumbersome as I generally keep it in my pocket (the reason for using an Incipio NGP slim case).
First off, this case is sturdy. It's inner shell is a "Soft TPU" which, by itself, is strong enough protection. The shell is snug with a rugged, yet refined feel. I don't anticipate there to be any stretching of the shell over time. The outer casing clips onto the shell in virtually lock-down fashion. The entire case as a whole gives you the impression that your phone is definitely protected. By comparison, my other slim case doesn't quite feel adequate. ZeroLemon managed to give the shell and casing a smooth, matte feel that's easy to grip. Face up, the phone can slide across smooth surfaces, although I'd imagine it would take a certain degree of decline for it to happen by itself. Face down, the phone resists sliding much more. The degree of decline would need to be pretty significant.
The ridges of the Razor Armor case give the phone a recessed look that will certainly protect the screen and back camera from any falls. The holes (mic, USB, headphone, camera, noise cancelling mic, speaker, and IR blaster) are perfectly aligned and cut with just enough space for plugging in accessories. I use the fingerprint reader and have not noticed any impact on functionality.
I've been looking for a reason not to like the case, as I'm trying to remain objective. Considering this case was free, I didn't want to give a positive review and have people think that a $13.99 free phone case was enough to influence my opinion. There simply is nothing wrong with it. After a day and a half of use, I decided that I prefer this case. It is marginally bigger than my prior case, but certainly slim enough to appease a minimalist such as myself. Bravo ZeroLemon!
I was going to make a post of my own review on this case (although mine's Navy, not black), but we seem to have several review threads on this same product already, so I'm just adding my comments to yours..
I got my review sample in Wed. also, and I've also noticed how easy the case slides. I think that's due to the little 'feet' on the back of the case not quite being big enough (they are about half the size of my Spigen's feet, and it slides much easier on it's back than the Spigen). I think with a small tweak to the size and 'grippyness' of those nubs, you'd completely get rid of the problem. Mine seems to slide on the front (face down) almost as easily as on the back though. Could be the TPU my case is made of doesn't have quite the same grip as yours?
As for the matte feel, I'd much rather have it be closer in feel to the Spigen I have, it feels more like it's made of metal than the ZL case does, but that's more of a personal thing.
The front bezel surround is a bit thicker than my other case, and it seems to catch easier when I'm taking it out of my pocket than the Spigen. It also does affect my use of the fingerprint reader, but I'm betting the more I use that feature, it'll come easier. I would change the front bezel to be a bit more beveled towards the screen, at least down towards the fingerprint reader, it may help.
It looks like the ZL is about 1.5-2mm thicker overall than the Spigen, not sure if it would affect my Nillkin wireless charger, as I removed it before putting this case on.
As for the buttons, I'd say they are worlds better than the Spigen case. I can find them in the dark without any issue at all, they are easy to press, and it hasn't (thus-far anyway) taken the volume button presses as being for both buttons as of yet (my Spigen does that pretty regularly, volume bounces up one down one until I release and reposition my thumb higher or lower).
I'm definitely not a huge fan of large cases either, and even though this is a bit thicker than the Spigen, you'll most likely not notice it in use. Even with my issues, I'm still using it in place of the Spigen, it definitely feels like it's slightly better protected than it was before..
I'm going to attach a couple pictures of both cases for direct comparison of the two when I get to the house this evening.
