Where can I get a real good case and screen protector for my vzw tp2 with all buttons and holes in the proper accessible spot? A clean perfectly clear non anti glare screen protector as well. Can I get something in my local verizon store or another local store? I won't be buying anything like this online. i don't trust online one bit for something this fine.
welcome to the digital age....
do it online. Buy a ghost armor or phantom skinz or the like skin protector. I've tried both on the TP2 and like both. Phantomskinz is a bit harder to install though.
Remember to cover the wetness indicators on your phone with a small piece of paper and tape.
I actually find purchasing the ones they have at the Verizon store work best for me they usually outshine the ones I buy online from ebay or other sites, but cost a bit more
I bought the phantom skinz full body one. Didnt really have any issues applying it. Just make sure it is completely dust free, i have one annoying spec of dust under the screen protector, but its one i can live with. dont notice it most of the time, and not worth the effort of taking off and reapplying it.
A while back phantom skinz was having a 2 pack special and a coupon that got me 2 full screen and body protectors for about $16.

Maybe you didn't see this the first time.
Was about to make a thread about this for me too
The age old question, WTF happened to all the accessories with these phones especially when your spending $400+ dollars or more for the handset? ridiculous that you have to BUY your own MEMORY CARD and CARRYING CASE now and HEADSET, it should come with it. My Original Sprint Touch came with everything for 350 bucks even the USB dongles, WTF happened to the Touch Pro 2 on Sprint?
As far as screen protectors and outer-case protection get GHOSTARMOR!!!!. this stuff is amazing if you have not seen it....... thanks to some fellow XDA members directions in other threads here.....
http://www.ghost-armor.com
From what I researched I think this is the superior full body protecting surface material on the market. They put this product on Military Jet wings and Helicopter blades. Watch the youtube videos they have to show how crazy this product works. I still cant believe this stuff works that good until I buy it for myself here this weekend for my new Sprint TP2. I am getting the full body protection.
also some other people in this forum have directed me thankfully to their credit, said to get PDAIR cases.
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/index.php
So far I am on a searching galore for a case too for my TP2 this weekend. I have not even activated my phone because I do not have a memory card or carrying case yet which sucks. So right now I am definitely getting GHOSTARMOR first and foremost. Someone told me to get Speck cases, but they currently only taylor iPhones, Palms and Blackberries.

I've used Seidio since my XV6800 days; just got mine for the VZW TP2 and love it.
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr2htp2s-bk.htm
For screens, no one beats BoxWave's Clear Touch.

I really like the ones that come with the Sprint TP2. I've tried to order extras from Sprint but they won't send me any nor will they tell me who they get theirs from. There's nothing on the backing sheet other than a number: 66H00031-00M. Anyone know where sprint is getting their screen protectors from?
I just would like to know if local vzw stores and other retailers have cases and screen protectors for the tp2. I'm don't wanna deal with online. However the case/protector at seidio looks good.
I called around to all my local verizon stores and no one even carries a touch pro 2 in stock let alone any accessories.
I am using the seidio Innocase mentioned above and I must say its amazing. I was hesitant to spend $30 on a case at first, bit it is well worth it. You wont be dissappointed

Something wrong with your legs?
Seriously, how is anyone 'online' supposed to know what your local VzW store carries; unless they're local, too?
For instance, my local vzw stores carry scant selection of the latest phones a limited stock of accessories none of which I like--curtesy of living in a rural area. So, I usually turn to BoxWave, Seidio, WMExperts Store, Amazon or ebay. And if an independent vendor gets rave reviews or I really like something they've got, I order it.
It's not rocket science.
Me sorry
I just thought all vzw stores are the same for the most part.
I finally found a store with nexus cases. I'm trying it out and curious what other people think. It's the soft rubber case that covers the entire phone except the screen. It goes on very easily, won't scuff the paint, and seems like it would help if the phone dropped.
Now I'm totally not a case user, I prefer My phones naked. But I'm trying this out. Anyone else have opinions or used this case?

Looks basically naked, feels protected, grippy.. And of course there are half a dozen other threads on various cases.
There's a chain here called "Tricked Out Accessories", they're in all the malls. They have lots of cases.
I bought one of these from them: http://www.amazon.com/Thermoplastic-Polyurethane-Accessory-Export-Packaging/dp/B0037N5WBY
Mine is darker (smoke grey) but still transparent, without the diamond pattern. I like it a lot.
Thanks. I'm trying to search this forum for the t-mobile store generic nexus case but only found 2 threads, not related.
Sorry I should clarify, I'm specifically talking about the case you can buy in a t-mobile store, not any that you can order online. Obviously a ton of online options exist. But for instant gratification, only in store cases at t-mobile store.
I tried on the one that I think you're talking about.
It was too rubbery for me.
Check your local malls. I'm sure they have something akin to the phone accessories stores that we have here in Utah.
You mean you have found specifically nexus one cases in your local mall, in Utah nonetheless? Cause I can't find anywhere, and I assumed only new York and los Angeles would have them. I'll have to check out los Angeles stores this week.
i think i know what ur talking about. i have the same one on now till the case-mate comes in. it's pretty good, but starts to feel 'loose', the edge of it that goes around the screen sometimes gets in the way of texting, doesn't slide in or out of pocket easily cuz its too grippy...

Ah, I see. So you have a little silicone skin for now, and in the meanwhile you can buy a better one..

Why would you assume that?
A side note:
If you want to buy a soft case (either rubber or silicone), get a black one because the camera won't get interfered by the LED light.
I just got this case:
http://www.ultra-case.com/product.php?pID=453
Initially it looked like it was too minimal and would not be protective enough. I got it because I can still use my android slip pouch with it. Well, I dropped my phone yesterday and the case worked perfectly. It is the same as the clear one they sell at T-Mobile in case anyone is wondering how that one holds up. Just don't drop it on the corners.
I just bought a few silicon cases off amazon for like next to nothing. I think 4 of them for $5 shipped. Same stuff. Don't waste your money.
And FYI, Nexus one cases are all over the place. I travel alot and I see them at Airport Kiosks and all kinds of stores.
I was at a local BestBuy this week and noticed they had N1 accessories (cases, screen protectors)
About the screen protectors at T-Mobile store: Are they the non-glare type?
What website sells wallet cases for the One S that accepts paypal? I would like but all seem to be for the One X.
Or if there's a case like the BookBook case for the iPhone but for the One S that would be awesome.

Wait, nevermind it seems they only ship to Australia

There's a selection on UK eBay, you might find something to suit you threr. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_trksid=p3984.m570.l1313&_nkw=htc+one+s+wallet&_sacat=0&_from=R40
i ordered this one a couple weeks ago http://www.ebay.ca/itm/310489946624?ssPageName=STRK:null:IT it hasnt arrived yet so i cant comment on its quality but im not expecting much. it would be nice if a company made a high quality wallet type case with real leather. id much rather pay $40+ on a nice wallet that holds my phone then a ugly $6 one that falls apart. the fact that phones are getting so slim, and alot of people are moving onto front pocket wallets make this a hole in the market...
i ordered it mainly to cut down on stuff i need to carry when snowboarding, or going to a club. i hate bulky wallets!

Ended up paying like 2 dollars more for the one from eforcity that comes with a screen protector, a usb cable, and a stylus pen. It's located in Arcadia which is like 30 minutes away from me lol. So hopefully I get it Monday.
Thanks for that link!
Really getting desperate getting a Mercury case for my nexus S. Since our phone is getting a bit older, accessories like the mercury case kind tends to be harder to find(last store pointed to me closed shop already). Unless you know someone from Korea, which I don't. Sadly I don't have enough cold cash lying around so getting it from abroad is out of the question. Any of my fellow men from the Philippines here have any idea where I could still get one..? Love to get one in white desperately, or black perhaps. Help please! =(
Go to www.tipidcp.com
I got my white one from ebay though, waited 2months for it to arrive from korea. I also got a yellow one bought locally but i sold it already.

Hehehe. It's you again ej8989! 'Went to where you pointed me. The shop folded up apparently. Now I'm back at zero. Glad you got yours. Sell it to me if you decided to upgraded will ya?
Better buy one on ebay.
I won't upgrade unless developers here stop making roms for good.
And imo this is the most excellent sounding android phone, credits to voodoo sound and my trusty in-ear headphones.
Tell someone you know who has a credit card to buy one for ya. They're only about 360php, free shipping from korea.
haha.. i've been looking for mercury case too but this case is so rare that i only saw one at tcp then after a week its gone and never saw one again. the only thing i can find in the mall are the cheap plastic netcase that could scratch the phone. there's one in ebay that costs 260+50 for shipping, they also do meetup in pasay area, im far from there so i didnt buy one. just search nexus s case in ebay.ph u'll find it in several colors.

Nexus S Mercury case seller here in Manila, Philippines
Got me a blue non-Mercury brand case recently. The problem is my neoprene casing has a staining effect on my newly purchased TPU case. Well the black textile edge was the culprit really. I can't seem to remove it with alcohol or liquid detergent. Really getting frustrated.. Any ideas how to remove it guys?

Anyone seen any indication of when these will be available. Just says coming soon on the site.
No idea but should be out by when the phone comes out?
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Haha I was thinking the exact same thing! I got the protection plan too... First phone with no camera bump - Woooohoooooo!
I've also only had a Galaxy s3, Note 3, Note 4, Note 5, and now Note 7.
Can't wait to get me some Google goodness! Some complain about the price point, where I say "finally a premium phone rather than 6 month old mid range specs phone .... Oh yeah that offered vanilla Android - which is awesome, but it's still a mid range phone..."
Haha /endrant

Interesting case, but how much is it? I can't see the price but if its 30 quid then I wouldn't get it!
Much rather pay that for their photo cases which i really like and thinking of getting it as an add on gift as buying the phone for the lazy half's birthday. However not sure he'll like it. Torn....
I'm worried that it won't be available until after the phone releases. I really want one, but would prefer to get a case for it immediately.

I want it immediately also, I do not want anything to happen to it... When I got my S6 Edge+ I put the Otterbox on and while at the store, before it was even activated it got bumped off the counter onto the floor.
I do not like the Otterbox I have on my S6E+ because is it a smooth hard plastic and will on its own slide off of counters and other smooth surfaces... I much prefer the silicon or rubberized cases that grip.

I love the photo cases, like $40, there is a store nearby that sells phone cases, and can "print" onto Otterbox cases, but for either I am not sure how it will hold up... the problem for me with this, is that he charges $30 to print, plus the $60 for the Otterbox, and then the Otterbox has design pattern and their name embossed into the case so the picture may not look as good as on the smooth silicone case in the Play Store. Oh, and they can only print on white, and Otterbox does not have white cases yet for the Pixel.

Thanks, I didn't catch that and thought it was a TPU case. I am deciding between this one as it looks thin or a Dbrand Skin instead. I want to get the phone in hand, feel how slippery and/or fragile it feels first. The more naked the better if the phone can take a "whoops"
if only these cases would be freely distributed to first buyers... haha, just like Coby phone.

Still available to order the Clear case from Google in both sizes.
The phone has shipped but the case is still not available :-/
Google can still learn a few things from Apple. Official iPhone accessories are available and usually ship well before the phone ships.
Has anyone found anything similar outside of Google. I'm paranoid about dropping this thing particularly as I'm in a country where this is not available so will not be able to service in case of a drop.

Amazon is your best bet. I ordered my case a week ago and it should be here tomorrow. Two clear cases for 7$. Can't beat that.
Kind of pissed. I ordered three cases (around the 12th), one of the being the google clear case and they all said in stock. Then i either get emails from the companies saying sorry the case will ship out on the 28th or the arrival day is 28th-1st. Now i have a naked phone from the 20th- and i don't want to **** it up.
Spigen
I ordered the Spigen Rugged Armor from Amazon and it came a few days ago. The phone comes today. I am terrible about dropping things and recently broke my hand, so it is now worse. I prefer no case, but I drop things way too often.
Anyone know how thick the silicone is? I find it very hard to believe its 19mm which would make the case height on both sides 10.4mm which in theory makes the back a 6mm ish case. That would be otterbox big.
The other reason why I think 19mm is incorrect is that it's the same dimensions for the clear case which is noticeably thinner than the live or silicone cases.
