Hey Guys,
I am looking for a good slip-in case that is readily available in the US. I'm looking for one similar to either the Meteor Slip Case or the OEM Neoprene slip case that came with the Nexus One.
Meteor Slip Case:

OEM Neoprene Slip Case:
Unfortunately, according to THIS thread, the Meteor Slip Case is not available from a reliable seller anywhere in the US. And I am just not sure where I can buy the OEM slip case.
Any recommendations of where to buy either of the above mentioned cases, or ideas for similar cases would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Well, I actually found the slip case for my Nexus One and decided to give it a shot. This fits my needs perfectly. It protects the screen and keeps dust away from the core of the phone while still allowing me to see my LED notifications without having to remove the phone from the case.
Mission accomplished!
Good idea ...I'm going to try my Nexus 1 pouch!
It's not hard to get the phone into the case and it still holds a tight grip, which is nice.
You could easily stretch the neoprene a bit to cover the entire phone but I personally like having the ability to see my notifications easily.

Decided i should finally get a case for my phone since the CASE MATE I purchased at the AT&T store crapped out after a month of use. Rubber sides sagged and made my volume and power unusable while using the case.
Went to the local mall here and found a cell phone kiosk. Ended up getting the Cellairis Fender Case in Silver.

Ive had the case for a week now and I'm very impressed so far with it.
Rigid, feels great in hand. Can easily slip in and out of pocket without catching.
Forms great to our phone. I also love that the back is made out of aluminum.
All my chargers connect and no connection issues.
The price was 25 bucks here at the kiosk at the mall. Which was great cause online it varies and goes $25 up to $35
I give the case a 9/10.
That case looks sweet. I got the ccase mate tough case in black/green but I may have to pick this one up too.

Thanks for this review, the aluminum back is intriguing. How thick is the case? I don't see specs on their website and am wondering how much thickness / weight it adds.
Do you think that aluminium back plate affect reception of your phone and does it scratch?

Has anyone tried one of these skins? They look very similar to dbrand skins which is what I just ordered, but X gear provides a full body skin for a couple dollars extra?

I'm interested to know as well. Anyone using this or had this for their nexus 4?
bubinga wood skin
I just installed mine tonight. Back of it is flawless and so easy to put on. Feels like real wood. The only beef I have is the front side. It does not protect the actual screen of the phone.....so I tried to install it over my BSE clear skin protector. Wasn't the best move (if perfection was what I was going for) because I ended up ripping the thin sides off to make installation over a barely dried wet applied clear skin. Still looks awesome though and I really really like it overall.
If I had to do it over again....I would have installed the front EXOskin over a tempered glass protector for the complete look. The reason the EXOskin didn't play well with the clear skin already on the phone is that the EXOskin is very adhesive. I think it would have been better over something like tempered glass. That would have given it protection over the actual screen and a wood look elsewhere.
Like I stated though....love mine.

Just got the Gooseberry Leather Flip cover from Mercury for my S4. It looks premium, goes nicely with my other leather accessories. So if you're using an S4 and want to cover the whole plastic it has, this case is meant for you. It's too early to judge the leather quality but for some quick touch, it feels smoothly great in my hands. The sewing line is tidy and firm, just like other premium leather stuffs would have.
The inside plastic piece, which is to hold the S4, is well done with clean cuts with no ingot. It sticks to the leather case and fixes the device firmly.
My previous case was the Neo Hybrid which didnt add much bulk to the S4 and I'm so used to it. So switching to this case, I had to spend a day or two to get used to it. I would say it adds double bulk, compared to my previous case, when closed. Thus, I find myself carrying the phone more often than before.
Here are some more pics:
I did buy one then the first the glass clear was broken... Then I asked for a replacement then I got another scratched on the glass clear for the S-View... I don't know what Spigen doing with this case but the screen of he S-View is terribad it was scratched then I put the micro fibre for clean more scratch....
Everything else on this case is good but not this screen.
I lost money for this case. The Slim Armor S-View is perfect if you want a case go for another and not the Ultra Flip View.
Resistant to scratch? This is not true, scratched from the micro fibre for clean...

I suggest you to contact them, they have a great customer service. and mention to them the sctraches at the arrival for the case
Yeah I won't buy anymore spigen products. I had the ultra flip case and within a month it ripped. Bought another case "slim armor" and it doesn't even fit properly. I have just given up. And their customer service sucks and they are very shady.

What do you guys think about something like this for the Note 4?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pink-Flexib...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item259a661c2a
I already have a screen protector on it and I figure with the back, it's replaceable in a worst case scenario!
Would this type of bumper be any good? More than anything I think it would just provide lips so that I could place it down on a table without worrying about scratching...

And there are a view different kinds, like this clear one (which is also "hard TPU")
http://www.ebay.com/itm/CLEAR-WHITE...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item5b089f8ccd
I have a different bumper case; it's TPU but the openings look very similar to the one's linked. IMO, these cases shouldn't be considered ideal for drop protection. I've looked and the camera bezel protection is nil; maybe some protection, if dropped on a flat surface. Not confident in that but sitting on a flat surface may be OK.
I just use it around the house or quick outings. I just don't plan on dropping this phone with this case but that's a risk. The case seems sure to grip in my hand holding and transferring to and from my belt mounted pouch; feels lighter, slimmer and easier on/off as well as holding in landscape view. My 2ยข.
