Nexus One "Black"

Has anyone seen this case or maybe own it?
It's looking pretty badass, cheap, slim.
http://www.ultra-case.com/product.php?pID=449
Also, what cases would you recommend? I just have one of those gel cases that came out when the N1 did. Looking to step it up a bit.

Seems to only protect the back, is that right?

It looks like it. The pictures on the website are really bad.

Badass case indeed.

that looks really cheap to me...
from the picture it doesn't even look like the holes line up?
i say go with this one instead: http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr5hnx1-bk.htm

it looks nice but too shiny and kinky fro me. I just ordered the blue one and paid an extra £12.50 for special delivery. They reckon 2-4 days. They are based in Hong Kong and am in London.
we'll see

back and around the sides, thats why they are also pushing for the screen protectors

Nice, I was looking at the Seidio Snap. It looks a little bit better. I liked the smooth and simple back of the Ultra-Case however.

I bought this last week. I hope they also make their iPhone cases fit on the Nexus One.

Just bought one. I like the looks of it.

i pass..looks like a fingerprint magnet. I have a hard enough time keeping the screen clean.

Even better is this case I bought http://cimousa.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=22_23&products_id=112

Is it easy to put on and take out? I ask coz i change the battery rather frequently.

can someone post up some pics when they get it? The ones on the website are absolutely terrible.

How thick is that case though? I want the thinnest case possible without going the zagg/bodyshield route personally.

Thx for the pics!

Just an FYI. Ultra Case's "The One" case can be found on ebay for around 5 bucks instead of the ridiculous 20 they want on their web site. It wouldn't surprise me if this "black" case is on ebay too.

Yeah I just checked and they have a bundle with a car charger and screen protector for a couple dollars more than the case itself.

Thats not the same case from Ultra-case I should be getting the real one this week and I will post some pics. The one in your link is a soft plastic and the Ultra-case is a hard plastic snap-on that only covers the back of the phone and also doesn't cover really any of the bottom, look again. http://www.ultra-case.com/product.php?pID=449

The point I was making is ultra case is selling a $3 case for 20 bucks and it wouldn't surprise me if their "Black" case shows up on ebay for a few bucks too. I already have a nice, blue hard shell case that offers more than just covering the phone's back for 20 bucks.

Thinnest case?

Put Ghost Armor Matte on my Skyrocket but am getting annoyed with how parts of it peel. Used to throw Best Skins Ever on every device without issue. Any suggestions on the best thinnest case vs. protective skins?
The Cellaris case here seems interesting for it's aluminum cover: https://www.cellairis.com/product/cellairis-fender-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-i727-black
So does this cheap TPU case: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678753

Thinnest case probably is the Rearth Ringke.

I m using diztonic TPU, not sure if it is the thinnest but is quite nice

I have a generic TPU case (no idea what brand) and by my ruler/eye it is 12mm, so the one linked above is only .5mm thinner. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't notice the difference.

I have the BodyGlove case. It's hard rubber, nice grip and adds protection to the screen because it overlaps the front of the phone. It works well because I've dropped it on my concrete patio out back and the phone was unscathed. The best feature was the $10 price tag at WalMart. Looks similar to the Rearth Ringke and the Diztonic TPU. Great purchase.

I have found the Seidio Surface line to be the thinnest and offer the best protection. Excellent product, have had this model on my last three devices.
This case is hard shell with thin padding on the inside you protect the finish of your phone. And it has a matte finish that gives your Skyrocket a much better surface to hold on to that the slick stock finish.
You can find the case alone for around 25 bucks, or with the belt clip holster as a combo for 30 - 35 if you Google in the right places.

Hrm, had a Seidio holster back in the Blackberry days, solid products. Didn't realize their cases were also now among the thinnest.

The Surface case is very thin. Here's a video review I located.
Excellent case IMHO.
And here's a link to Amazon with a pretty good price on the case and holster combo -> http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-BD2-HR3SSSKY-BK-SURFACE-Holster-Skyrocket/dp/B006NYOW8S/ref=pd_sim_cps_6

Jus' sayin', y'know, if blue's your thing...

Thanks guys. Think I am sold on the Seidio given the 1mm thickness and past use of their stuff. Have the TPU case from here on order but might just get both and compare.

I'm tempted to get the blue Seidio considering how little it costs, but the wife might just kill me if I have another case delivered right after getting my new Diztronic TPU (which replaced that black case after I destroyed it, which replaced the Diztronic TPU she now has, which replaced a series of Dragoncell hybrid cases, which replaced an Otterbox, etc...I have case ADHD).

If it helps domestic peace any it seems the Platinum case / rebranded Seidio Surface + Holster can be had on eBay from US sellers for around $10 Although reading some threads it seems it only comes in black.
I think I'm going to get one of these although I am seeing some posts saying that the bottom can be a little loose for some. Hoping it's the exact same build quality as the Seidio branded version.

Don't worry about resurrecting an old thread... Our accessories forum isn't too active anyway
I have the Infuse 4g dock (compatible with skyrocket)
However there isn't that much space. The dock works best when the rocket is naked

Thanks for the reply.
Bare phones always seem to work better with docks. I have this dock in picture and that's the one I'd like to know if it would work with the seidio surface case.

To answer own concern, yes it does fit. Perfectly.

8.4 - Slimmest, tight fitting hard case?

Hey folks, I'm putting the TAB S 8.4" behind a dashboard and need to find a hard case which will be used to help "permanently" mount the Tab.
Could someone with experience recommend the slimmest, Tight Fitting hard case?
Like, I can pick it up by the case, shake it around like mad and it wouldn't fall out. But the case is still as slim as possible?

Hi.
I have the 10.5" and i bought an case from ebay for a few £ and my tablet just clips in and it does not really add any bulk, they also sell the 8.4" version see if you can get it from your local ebay.

I bought this on for my Tab S 8.4. I does not have a cover though but I like it a lot. Very slim fitting and affordable.
Also its not really hard, but slightly flexible TPU.
Not sure if it would work for what your doing.

Thanks, John. It's a nice looking case but I think I'd need the bezel to fit all the way around my phone, not just at the edges.

I just received this one. It is quite thin (much thinner than the Roocase Origami and the official case. It lacks magnets to hold the case closed (but it does wake/sleep).

It's got a cover, so it's useless to me. But thanks for posting.

I found this motomo case while looking for a case for my tab. Not sure if its available in your region but my dad has it for his iphone and it's a pretty slim design. Matte rubber all around with an aluminum back plate.

You could probably rip off the cover, which looks to be held on with glue.
I have this case, which fits very tight. Its only $7. You can cut off the cover and peel away the fabric material. The Khomo is thinner, but the plastic looks flimsier.

I use the Samsung book cover and it is the thinner around. Normally $60 now in At&t store for $5. They also have the tempered glass protector, again normally $60 and now also $5.

Ultra Thin 0.3mm Soft Case

Has anyone found an ultra slim soft semi-transparent case for the 6p? something like 0.3mm or 0.5mm like this:
ORZLY - "FlexiSlim"
or
SHUMURI - "Slim"
or
CAUDABE - "Veil XT"
or
PEEL - "Case"
I would post a link to all those examples but I cant post links yet.
All these have a soft matte finish with all around coverage (hate the ones that are cut out at the bottom and top) and a semi transparent finish that I think would look great. They would still show off the back of the 6p without fully covering it. Any help finding something like this?
I think a smoke case similar like the ones above would look great with the graphite 6p and a tempered glass screen protector. Almost fully naked 6p but with some protection.

Uhh, nope. Haven't seen anything that thin with out it being hard PC. These are soft TPU, but no clue on thickness.

Thanks for those suggestions, had already looked at all those. Don't exactly fit the bill of what I'm looking for. Look fairly thick. Since Orzly made a 0.5mm case for last year's nexus 6, hopefully they make one for the 6p.

Im considering this one

That one looks good except that it has the top and bottom open. Hate that. It digs into your fingers when holding it and resting the bottom of the phone on your pinky when using it.
Still searching for something like Veil XT or Peel

Any luck finding anything?
I had the Peel on my iphone and it was absolutely slick but I doubt peel or caudabe will make one for the nex :/
Just got to wait for the flexislim i guess, which will probably be the next best thing...if they do decide to make one of course

Yeah I'm also looking for something like this, but it seems out of the 4 brands mentioned in the OP, only the Orzly has any chance of being available in the future. The other 3 only make Apple cases.

Contacted Orzly yesterday. Looks like we're not getting the flexislim

Oh! So close. Would there be one that does have the sensor cutout? I'm looking for one of these hard cases that cover the bump glass (unlike the Spigen one) and if they're translucent, I want matte.

Solutions to slippery Mi4C

Not sure if others concur, but I find the phone very slippery due to the smooth plastic back cover (referring to white version here, though not sure if colour makes a difference).
Other than installing a 'bumper' style cover that makes the phone much larger (and noticeably heavier), what solutions do you suggest?
Can the back cover be replaced with a Nexus 5 style back cover (if available)? Or are there thin stickers that can instill more grip (e.g. sandpaper finish)?

I got the darker version and yeah, the back is kinda slippery. I also looked for backstickers, like what slickwraps and dbrand are offering, but I didn't find anything.
Today I ordered the official xiaomi plastic cases and I'm curious how thick it will make the Mi4C. Maybe still thin enough that I'll keep it...

I have to admit, I am happy I ordered a case with the phone, in my situation, the Nillkin Frosted Shield. Big improvement, but if dbrand had something, I would be happy!

I hope you give a little feedback after you have it thinking of buying the same...

Yea no problem, I ordered one from China but its still not here so ordered this so should be here next week

I did he same as TheNacho. I bought a Nillkin Frosted Shield and I really like it. In my opinion the case is very thin and gives it a good grip, it also feels like a good quality case with perfect fit.
It do also give a small small edge around the screen, which covers the screen a little bit if you put the phone down with the screen downwards (or if you drop it)

I've already forgotten the hardcover Yeah, I had both. The hardcover began pretty fast to crack at the corners (because of the pressure?).
The TPU was a bit more stable, but it began to crack near the headphone jack after a while.

@rob rich got it today (came in 3 days) and its bulkier than the image on ebay. The back is not completely transparent like the rest of the case but a foggish white. But I can grip it easily and thats good for me.

Ok, I'm searching for something really really slim
I'm not afraid of let it fall (never happens to me) but I'm afraid of scratches on the back and on camera lens without case...
I'm sure there are some cool cases in China, so i would be happy if someone could point me in the right direction.

So you're not happy with the Nillkin case you got? I would suggest taking a look at AliExpress or eBay, loads of cases available there and I'm sure you'll find something good.
