Car dock? cases? Is anyone selling them yet?

I've been scouring the web looking for the nexus car dock and some body cases, Even screen protectors. Has anyone seen anything yet?
Think the droid screen protector would fit?

the official accessories are not out yet. when theyre released they will be sold at the official site (www.google.com/phone).
The droid screen protectors wont fit because the nexus one screen panel is curved at the bottom, droid is completley square.

I had in the past bought cases from Ebay for my xperia x1 and went to the same seller and bought another case for the N1. I'll be reporting back on fitment when I receive it.

As of right now I just cutted a iPhone screen protector and made it fit my Nexus one lol. It's kinda ugly, but it'll do until Bestskinsever.com releases a skin for the N1.

The N1 box includes a case thats actually quite nice. Neoprene, fits like glove. Very thin (~1mm).

I'm talking about snapons and gels. The included case is nice but I hate having to slide the phone out its not practical. And usually I'm using the phone if its gonna be dropped haha.

I bought an Eddie Bauer Universal Cell phone Holster from Worst er Best Buy. Not the greatest, but it fits the phone and it holsters on my belt. I don't like having my phone in my pocket so it works for me.
Here is a link to it on Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Eddie-Bauer-Universal-Wireless-Case/dp/B002BWRK1W
It fits reasonably well and isn't too hard to get in our out. Will work until an official one comes out.

Amzer Rubberized Case
Anyone tried the Amzer rubberized case (I like this type of case personally)?

From the obviously photoshopped screenshot it looks like it covers the light and proximity sensor as well as the charge notification LED. Anyone tried this?

I just ordered that in clear. does it fit the device pretty good?

I had the Seidio Innocase for the g1 and while it was thin, the black rubberized material wore off. Im waiting for these, they look like they are made well. http://www.myincipio.com/category/google_nexus_one_cases/

I hope some companies will make nice looking cases like those made by Goincase and Speck for iphone

I just got my case, the only problem being, i still have yet to receive my damned phone! Arrgh!!!

Car Holder for $6
Here is a potential one.
It's not the official holder (that will most likely ring in around $29), but for under $6 it could be a good, inexpensive alternative.
The title says Touch HD, but the box says "universal" so not sure on this. But the horizontal mount is nice..

Best HTC One s case for me?

I am looking for a case that protects the top and bottom (To stop chipping). The case also has to look good with the black HTC One s and not scratch the phone like some TPU cases do. I like the CaseMate soft case but sadly it has no mic hole Hope someone can help!

The only cases that protect the bottom and top afaik are the silicone/rubber/gel type of cases.
Regarding the no hole for the microphone for the case mate soft and tough, it really isn't that much of an issue IMO and can be easily solved anyway using either a drill bit, eye letter punch or some other form of a cutting tool
See my review of the tough case here:
http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1072819-case-mate-tough/
Below are the results of using a drill bit to make a tiny hole (acting as a "mark") and the eye letter punch to make a "proper" microphone hole

I actually think that this one looks kinda interesting:

It would be difficult to obtain a D3O case outside of US/Canada. ^

I am waiting on this one to come in (ordered 5-5-12) After a recent unfortunate incident involving my Nexus S and a marble countertop + a 6" fall I am taking no chances. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007U6EHXS/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
I don't normally do anything except a screen protector but after watching my screen crack down the middle on my nexus s just a week ago I am not taking any chances with this beast of a phone. Just in casethe link doesn't work it is a ballistic case for HTC One S for about $17 from amazon.

You guys gotta wait for the otterbox case. Is not out yet but will be our soon
Sent from my One S.

I actually prefer the ballistic cases over the otterbox. Personally I don't like the complete coverage of the screen in the otterbox defender series and the commuter cases are almost exactly like the ballistic I ordered but the ballistic are generally cheaper and side by side they are just about the same save for some styling differences.

This is the one I purchased and have been using for 3-4 days now and I have to say I'm really happy with the fit and finish of this case, especially considering I spent all of $5.55 on it

I am on my 3rd case since I got my phone a month ago.
The current one is by Diztronic (see the separate thread).
It is a TPU case so the top and bottom are protected, but it has a nice matt finish rather than the shiny effect of most gel cases. Would recommend!

edit: nvm...

Diztronic Matte
I'm thinking to buy the Diztronic Matte but it sais it's for the T-mobile version of the ONE S.
Do you think it will fit the GSM version as well?
It looks so cool.

The plastic is very very very smooth like butter, but has friction between hard surfaces..so if you stick the phone in your hand with the case on itll slide if you move your hand back & forth..the edge of the case barely covers the phones curved glass, Im guessing to put it in and tale it out, has no play,and just seems like a good ol' hardcase
The more i handle it,the plastic should get grippier, ill update on that
No snap,crackle,pop noises from this case, put it on and done
+1 to a simple case, as my first case for the phone its clean&simple

Looks like the sides come up farther than on the ringke case. But looks good otherwise.
-EP

Just got the same case last night. I HATE using cases but this one is really nice. I would absolutely recommend one. Fits like a glove and feels great. It doesn't attract lint like some plastic cases.

...no,

Add another thumbs up to the Diztronic. My first case from them I, that I decided to get based on comments here. So far the best case I've seen for the Nexus 4 (at least until a decent 2-component case like the Otterbox Commuter etc. comes along).

Nexus 4 Diztronic Hardshell Case Review
$9.99- Amazon Link
$9.99- Diztronic Link
Design
5/5
First of all, this case is EXTREMELY thin. It's only 1mm thin, making it 25% thinner than the original TPU case. The back has a non glossy Diztronic logo on it and a slot cut open for the camera and speakers. It is a bit slippery, but won't catch lint on it or attract finger prints. Unlike other shell cases, this one isn't hard to take in and out. However, you definitely want to take it out periodically to make sure debris doesn't get caught in it and scratch the case. The edges of the case just barely go over the screen making a bit of a "lip". The lip is barely there and you may be able to fit a screen protector on it. The buttons are left exposed on the case making pressing the power button and volume rockers very easy.
Protection
4/5
This case does a decent job at protecting the phone while still keeping a thin profile. The top and bottom of the case are left somewhat vulnerable, yet I understand how it would be tough to cover that part while making the case a "hardshell". Keep in mind this case is only 1mm thick, so I'm grading the protection based on the case's target audience.
Final Verdict
4.5/5
This may be the thinnest case to ever hit the market. At $9.95 you get a lot of bang for your buck; this is a high quality case made with premium materials. You can tell Diztronic took the time to make sure they got everything right. This case is so thin you won't even notice it while still giving you some protection.

Def the best case so far, for the money

Looks similiar to the rearth rinke and diztronic ultra thin cases. Try one and give a review!

Hmmm... you can get similar case for 9.99 though.

If SGP made a bumper, I'd be all over.
The ultra thin case does look similar to those on eBay indeed.

what is up with the cutouts on the render? they are awfully tiny on the volume and power. I hope that's not how it really looks but it's not really worth it since you can get the same thing from rearth.

I'll pass. I can have two different colors Ringke Slim cases for that price.

It also includes a screen protector. That's worth the price. Buying one now.

I hope they make a clear version :fingers-crossed:

not if you already have the screen protector. I might buy it anyways but gonna dig around for a coupon code first.

A Neo Hybrid Ex Bumper to be exact, and I will gladly pay $20-$30.
Go to their FB page and post that you want a bumper case, their already a few post already doing the same.
Sent from my Nexus 4

posted on their fb wall about having other thin cases out there with way lower price that what they'll be offering. also pointed out the how poetic bumper sales are thriving for their bumper case...
their response was "the price depends on what the package comes with"...so I had guessed they'll include their screen protector with the case...but still cant see why they proceed with the project when you can get the same case for around $2 on ebay..

This case is quite a disappointment...I associate SGP with making unique cases, not something so obviously generic looking. I'd really like to see them release something for the Nexus 4 like the Neo or Ultra Hybrids they had for the Galaxy Nexus, or the Linear Metal or Hybrid EX cases they have for the iPhone 5. Now those all look unique from the other stuff out in the market currently.

they will, it will take some time though because on the limited availability of the phone

I think the quantity of these phones in the market is enough to warrant a good sale...just look at the poetic bumper case :
ebay = 818
amazon = more than 149 (based on reviews number, so the exact quantity should be more than that)
They've raked up more than $10 grand of revenue from a single case model...
and sales from both sites are still counting, since other case manufacturers are still skeptic of the market size for this phone's casing...

received my case today!
feels nice, smooth of course lol.
but it feels a bit loose, but it does hold the phone in. The top part of the case is a bit loose with the phone in it, the bottom part is firm and in place.
Maybe because i have a back screen protector on it, but i highly doubt it.
gonna shoot them a email in a bit about it

this is so going to be a product marketing failure...
throwing something very few wants, in a market already filled with it, at a higher price...thats like 3 flukes in one go
its like selling shaved ice out in the cold, in the middle of winter, at a higher price than in summer.
disappointed in SGP

Did you see if you could bend the corners in for a better fit? Kind of like with the original, non-revised Ringke Slim.

What we really need is a case that only covers the top and bottom and leaves the sides exposed. Would love to take full advantage of those curved edges.

are cases worth it?

It is like you buy insurance, if you know when you will drop it, there is nothing to talk about, but $20-30 to protect your $600-700 investment I think really is worth it.

Check out the Poetic Atmosphere case, here's my review on it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280103
It's a nice looking case and it's cheap too.
Sent from Flip's S4

I've been through two feature phones and three smart phones and I never used a case until this one. For previous phones I would at most put a skin on them. I dropped my last two phones (Palm Pre and Nexus S) from ~2 feet a few times and each time it landed on a corner. No major damage, just scuff marks. The reports across the web are that the S4 doesn't hold up too well in comparison to other phones when dropped. The screen runs right to the corner which makes me worry. That plus the phone being so much larger (and harder to hold on to) made me decide to go for a case. I went with the Spigen Neo Hybrid, and I think it's great. Doesn't add much thickness, looks great and should protect the phone.

If you're looking for something stylish, I'd recommend either Verus Oneye - http://www.zoarah.com/by-brand/verus/#ty%3Bpagination_contents%3B%2Fby-brand%2Fverus%2Fpage-2%2F
Or
Spigen Slim Armor - http://www.spigen.com/galaxy-s4-case-slim-armor.html
Or If you dont mind a big case(with better protection), a Trident Aegis - http://www.tridentcase.com/shop-products/samsung-galaxy-iv-i9505/aegis-case-samsung-galaxy-iv-i9505.aspx

Today I went shopping for alternatives while waiting for the Spigen Neo Hybrid I ordered from across the atlantic, and stumbled across Samsungs own Protective Cover +. I had no idea what I was buying, but thought it could be worth the 20 bucks. Turns out it's actually a pretty solid case, with a sturdy polycarbonate back and what looks like TPU all around the sides. It even has holes on one of the corners to fit wrist straps and such.
I'm not a big fan of the grey TPU for the white version, but other than that I'm really impressed. Despite its name it's probably no more protective than a basic TPU shell though, in particular because it doesn't add more than a millimeter height to the edge of the screen.

Maybe a slim back cover is your like, covers are form-fitting snap-on covers that protect your cell phone without adding a lot of bulk, have openings for camera, volume/ side buttons, headset, charger jack and kickstand which allows access to all phone functions.

Nope, they aren't worth it when there is need for cheap Black Market spare parts.

Not a case man either but this case made me keep the S4. lol As far as being worth it ummm yea it's a 500 + phone. Only takes one drunk night. hehe
