Never bought from Fommy, but. . .

It looks like they've got a decent amount of Nexus stuff.
http://www.fommy.com/accessories.asp?make=Google&model=Google+Nexus+One+PB99100&cat=Cases
Personally, I'm waiting for incipio
http://www.myincipio.com/category/google_nexus_one_cases/
or
Seidio
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/4025.htm

This is what I went with for mine:
Crystal Skin
Should be similar to the ones that were popular with the myTouch / Magic. The resin TPU ones.
And for screen protectors I will see if these are any good. Seems to be an invisible shield / BSE clone.
As long as they hold up until more accessories become available I'm fine.

I don't think the cases from fommy are good because some of the cases block the proximity sensor on the phone.

I've had the resin TPU one on my magic for quite some time, and its the best I have ever used. It doesnt add alot of weight to the phone, and lso one of the easiest to install.

I really hope somebody comes out with a carbon fiber case, that would be sweet.

I am getting the privacy screen protector from Fommy and I'll post back my findings on the sucker.

It'll be cool if moshi comes out w/ something. My friend has one for her iphone and it looks sweet! It is very stream-lined and doesn't make your phone any fatter. I typically hate cases. However, I think what moshi has looks pretty sweet.

That skin looks pretty cool. Care to share any pics of it installed onto your phone when you have a moment?

I know in the past people were saying that magnetic closures messed up the G1's compass over time. Is that turning out to be true? I would think the N1 and any other phone with a compass would suffer the same fate if that is the truth. I like having my compass..

I bought the Ferrari car charger from that site. I ain't get it yet but when I will, ill post a review.

never order from fommy! i had the worst experience with them. i ordered the screen protector and the clear case (both were pre-order).. and also another screen protector for my N97.. later realized they didnt have the cheapest deals.. wanted to cancel the order the same day i ordered them. called customer service, noone picked up. tried a hundred times.. emailed them as well to no avail. come monday, i get a confirmation email that one of the items was shipped. argh! finally after calling nonstop, a customer rep finally picked up. I can only be refunded for the two items that hasn't shipped yet.

Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience with fommy. I on the other hand had no problem with the site. I had no problem calling them and asking them and speaking to a representative.

What about the battery they have...That doesnt look like the right battery! It says it fits 3-4 phones....Dosent look right...What do yall think?

Be very careful ordering from Fommy
Anyone with a few minutes should take a look at this forum thread. It is a long thread and I don't expect anyone to read it all. The bottom line is Fommy does not have much of a credibility when it comes to their salespeople.

Any one gettin the Seidio Innocase?

Anyone gonna pre order this?
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr3hnx1-bk.htm
I really want to, but thought I would ask if any one has tried their cases?

I loved that case for my G1... Just waiting for the Nexus version to be released. This little pouch that comes with it just ain't cuttin it! But I will be all over that Innocase once its released

I like their case's a lot, and plan on getting a high quality case for the N1 from them!

i might just pre order then. 30 bux is alot tho lol

Ordered it and the holster a few days ago.

gonna order the combo but worried how good tha holster holds the phone... n how thin the case will be

i just pre ordered 2. no holster

i know someone who has this case for their droid and it's really really nice...
i'm not a fan of it for the nexus though due to the fact that it looks like it's a 2 piece design that comes apart in the middle.
i'll actually wait for this one: http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr5hnx1-bk.htm

why is the non snap in one 10 dollars cheaper?

I want the snap too, but it seems they've removed it from the list??
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/4025.htm
I can still see it in the link posted above but no longer in the page with all the nexus accessories.
Even a search for snap doesn't show a nexus hit. Maybe they've scrapped it...

Had a quick online chat with customer services:
"We are still planning on making the snap but there is no eta. We are working on it, so it will come out we just are not sure on the time."
reason why they pulled the listing:
"We were unsure of the release date and did not want to confuse customers."
Doesn't sound right to me though, it said under development and there was no date mentioned or even a way of preordering (just adding to wishlist), how could that have been confusing?!

Pics when u get tha new suit please lol

got mine dunno if im a big fan. the sliding in of the case almost took my zagg shield right off. I have to fit it at the top and squeeze it in, and still doesnt look like its sitting right with the zagg shield. Oh well gonna keep it on paid 30 bux for it lol

Lightforce, how much thickness does the case add on? Seidio says it's 1mm thick, or thin, but I was wondering if you could tell us how it feels versus the naked Nexus One?

doesnt add much thickness, but makes it feel heavier thats for sure.

ordered mine yesterday. Shipped today.
I had the inocase II for the original storm and it fit great. Hoping this will be the same.
Lightforce,
could you take pics from all angles and what it looks like while putting it on since you said it almost took your screen protector off.
Thanks

Anyone going completely bare?

Hi guys!
Anyone going completely bare with their sensation? No case, no skins, no screen protector?
I ask this because I went with the full body skins (BSE) on my nexus one, after trying all the brands. They look great initially, then curl up etc. Then I used awesome clarivue screen protectors, but ended up ditching them. I bought a hard to find Barely There chrome colored casemate case from Great Britain even, and barely used it because it was such a tight fit (no on and off as per your pleasure, kind of thing).
Since I've learnt how to use my phone (dedicated pants pocket for it, with nothing else inside, Never use phone on the shoulder, always try to use headset for those kind of calls), I think I might like to risk it with my new phone, for aesthetics sake.
Anyone with me?

I'm going bare naked.....My hd2...I tried everything...and was not happy....I went bare naked and loved it....So..I'm doing it on the my HTC S4G...Bare naked style!
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

going in bareback right here... the phone just looks too damn good lol

Had nothing on my HD2, only a screen protector for several months then removed. My HD2 suffered several nicks on the body, solved with a new case.
And now the same with the Sensation, nothing on it.

I am! I've never had a case or screen protection on any of my phones and never will!
Had my N1 naked for 17 months and it looks the same as the day I got it.
Why put a bulky ugly case on something that looks so good!
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

Nekkid and loving it. I can't manage to find a case that looks good enough to put on this. I feel good with the gorilla glass. I may pick up an alternate back cover just in case.

Thought about screen protector but decided to go naked. Like the phone better that way. Noticed today that I have little scratches on the screen it held at the right angle. Had phone 2 weeks now.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

Unless my old Nexus one sleeve counts, I'm going naked as well. The phone is way too sexy to cover up with an unsightly case.

definitely going naked. I'm a big fan of invisible shield type protection on some devices (plastic ones namely). On my Inspire I got a Ghost Armor skin installed and it took the phone from having that carved out of a block of aluminum (because it is) feeling, to feeling like typical plastic crap.
Since replacement backs seem to be inexpensive for this phone (I still think the ones going for 40USD have to be knockoffs) and the back is basically the whole phone, I won't bother. For the Inspire as soon as I saw that I could buy the pieces to reconstruct the casing (minus the screen) for under $100, I decided to risk it. I'm careful with my stuff anyway, but even a scratch would bug me.
Big fan of naked phones here. My Pre 2 is naked as well, and looks good as new (got it in December I think?). That phone is just glass and soft touch plastic so no skin would look good on it.

I'm using a screen protector but definitely no case. As the back case seems pretty solid compared to the more flimsy DHD, I'm not bothering with a cover.

Got to go naked, it's the way it was intended!

I'm going commando but I will eventually get a spare unicase for piece of mind and resell value

Careful with all the nekkid streaking people. When I first went to the store to see the Sensation the rep put a nasty scratch on the metal part of the back while adding the security device.
If it does happen, it's only a hot $25 to fix though:

No problem. We have got to keep these things pretty.

Do we need cases/covers for the sensation?

Hey,
I used to be on the look out for cases for most of the smartphones I've had. Mainly to protect them, but they always managed to make the phone look ****.
I dropped my sensation the other day a work and it got scratched to buggery( The battery door that is not the screen). My work mates cracked up as they knew i liked to look after it. Some of them saying i should get a case for it , showing me their cased up iPhone 4's.
Then i found the beauty of HTC having made it a unibody construction and bought a replacement battery door from ebay for £25.
Now it looks brand new again. My work mates thought i had bought a new phone! (tards).
So now i use the scratched battery door for work and slip on the fresh one for when not.
So no point buying a case as the battery doors are so cheap. And cases/covers look ugly.

Depends if the replacement is actually OEM - I don't like buying replicas

Yes, I was worried about that, but its definitely OEM. Ill post the seller.:

Irie.

Well there are reasons why people use cases (shock absorption,...) but I agree with you. Also, I don't see why some people prefer the unibody of Desire HD/S compared to Sensation. I like it much better this way and you can make the phone different color by just replacing the back
Swyped from my HTC Sensation

I don't actually NEED a case. Having one does give me piece of mind though. Plus, if I ever do drop my phone, there's a much less chance of the screen hitting first and shattering.

The glossy black tpu case I bought does not make the sensation look ugly. It also gives me peace of mind, plus it is much cheaper than a battery door.

I bought the same one. I like the look of the phone, so I refuse to use a case. I would like a real nice screen protector, one that fits, but the few I've tried suck.

Amazing Cheap Cases for the Sensation 4G!

I just bought one of these and they are shipped from Hong Kong and take around 7-10 days to arrive. But they're great and under three dollars.
I've added two pictures below and I have had this case fro two days now and it is flexible (tpu) and has no wear or anything on it, but I imagine if dropped it would look a lot worse. But hey the case is cheap and looks amazing on the Sensation, it's very slimming.
Just search Ebay for White TPU Sensation cases, and one from sunlioner should come up, I'll post a link within the next day but it seems he sold out. So give it a day or so. The cases look amazing.

Do they have extended battery case? I'm in desperate need!
sent from HTC sensation, soff, 3.33 firmware, viper Rom, sense 4.1, mugen battery. please press thanks if I helped in anyway.

I bought a case from this seller for my girlfriend's galaxy s II and i must say that quallity is very good and it fits perfecly.

These look really good, especially for the price. When I first got my Sensation a year ago I bought an Incipio NGP case. It protects very well but I notice the bit of extra bulk it adds.
I may have to get one of these TPU cases just for giggles... thanks for the tip!

I bought that black one off of Amazon for four dollars or so but I did not like the silicone shiny black looking stripe on it, that was the only thing that bothered me.

I've had the white and the black one now and the white one looks great but if you get any color or wear on it it will not go away, and the black one actually goes with the phone a lot better so, I'm going to go with the black case even if I have both. Also there is an ugly tint in the white case be cause the Sensations backplate has rubbed off onto the case leaving this ugly black tint/residue. It doesn't come off, I still like the case/s though, they're very sleek, nice, and not to mention cheap .

this is great cheap case, i should buy it right away

OEM Case
I didn't want to start a new thread for this, but if anyone is interested, the black HTC OEM TPU case is available for $3.79 in the US today. Use coupon code "EarlyThanksgiving" for 15% off: $0.99 - $0.15 discount + $2.95 shipping = $3.79. The red one is also <$4 on eBay.

Wireless charging?
Does anybody ever seen back cover for wireless charging?

battery case
anyone know if we can change just the battery case?

Hmm...
