I did the exact same thing. I bought a carbon effect one from ebay (for next to nothing) to see how it looked, felt, protected the phone etc. and when it arrived, i was pretty happy. It looked decent enough and seemed to be of reasonable quality for the price so i put my phone in (which seemed to require an abnormal amount of effort) and then it appeared that the case was a little too tight. I then spent the next 20 minutes attempting to get my DHD out of it and when i finally did the imitation leather/material was starting to tear so i threw it away.
I also decided to buy myself a nice cheap Desire S style silicone/gel case from ebay (once again, for next to nothing) and i couldn't be happier! It offers more than ample protection and it looks great. So i'd advise that if you're on a budget that you stick to a gel case, unless you want to spend much more money on a higher quality leather flip case.

I think I've bought the same carbon case. It's a pain in the butt to get off lol

I purchased my case from Ebay uk the Seller username is phone_giants and the item is listed as"HTC DESIRE HD MOBILE PHONE LEATHER CASE COVER POUCH" hope this is useful.

PDair case
I've used PDair on both my Streak and Inspire, good quality and selection.

Me too,ideal for attaching to your belt as well as it comes with a belt clip,also have the htc one which I use to put into my shirt pocket,comes with a pull cord to pull it out of the case and protects the phone in your pocket/bag etc

I was quite rightly introduced (by the largest Vegan site on the planet) to the plight of animals when it comes to the meat and leather industry. So you might want to consider a TPU case or something else, especially after seeing these videos (i made a quick page).
I use a TPU case and it's been great alongside a separate sleeve. Thankfully there are many other options out there too.

Hi there!
I purchased this:
http://www.pielframa.com/htc-desire-hd-imagnum-cases.htm
The good:
Excellent general fit, durability and overall protection.
In a pinch the lid can double as a kickstand although within a rather narrow angle span.

Noreve looks cheaper but I have no experience with their products.

All in all it´s the best case i ever had.
Oh - BTW. The belt clip looks decent enough but i never use it. I just stick the whole thing in a pocket somewhere. Pants usually.

are cases worth it?

I hardly drop my phone, and no I'm not being ignorant or cocky and saying "I'll never drop my phone". So I don't know can't find any cases of my like

If you can't find any you like, you dont HAVE to buy a case...

You'll wish you had one the moment you drop it

But then again, I don't want to spend to much. I want a stylish case. any recommendation?

neo hybrid is probably one of the more stylish cases (though costs $30)

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

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

Nexus 9 Cases

Feel free to send me more cases and links to reviews as you find them. I will try to keep this thread as current as possible

Look of where the camera is on those cases.

Ya, most of them say they won't be available until afterwards. I believe these are just placeholder images.

Official but non-keyboard case?
I'd like to see a decent first-party case released, I already have a nice portable bluetooth keyboard, so all I want is a wedge shape to prop it up at a couple of angles.

Official cases are on Google Play now!
Flip cover $39.99

Poetic slimline case shipping 11/14.
I've had this case on my N7 and it works great. It protects the sides of the tab where as the official folio does not.

Hope there is a decent unofficial cover that uses the magnets and doesn't snap onto the back. Want the screen covered but not the back.
The official one looks alright but I don't know if I like how you fold it to make a stand.

Everything wouldn't arrive in time. This is too frustrating!

The official magnet case is up for pre order on w Amazon, I bought it last night.

From what I have seen, I don't think it will protect it from any drop.

That's correct it won't, I'm also buying a skin for it I already have a sleeve that I could use and I don't like big cases on tablets. I just want to protect it from scratches. I'm waiting on a tempered glass screen protector for it if someone makes one.

Every case i've seen doesn't ship until after release day and it needs 17-28 business days

My "HTC Magic Cover" that I ordered via Amazon is being shipped with my tablet and it will be here on 11/4 from what it says. If you meant other cases this one is in stock on 10/24 http://www.amazon.com/IVSO-8-9-inch...8&qid=1413739340&sr=1-3&keywords=nexus+9+case

17-28 business days is the ETA

I just noticed that when I hit tried to buy it. It must come from china via epacket if it takes that long.

need help

I order the official HTC case on amazon... I don't know how much protection it will provide, but hopefully it will suffice until some better options pop up.

The official case is for just protection of the screen and be as minimal as possible (like Samsung's flip cover).
If you want something more rock solid you need to wait for other options. The tablet is not even out yet. So there is plenty of time to wait for some better all around protection for this tablet
I will have two cases, one official when I am home, and one more study one when I am on vacation or something like that

Ordered this cover, it looks decent and is pretty cheap.

My favorite case, too. I have it on my N7 Flo and got one for the Tab Pro 12.2. I will get one for the N9, if I get one. After problems with Flo (and some cell reception issues with N5), waiting to see what issues the N9 has before I invest.

Which is the best Google sold case? Are they worth it?

I hear all these talks about cases blocking mics and the autofocus laser. My Project Fi Nexus 6p just shipped today and I'm wondering if it's worth getting a case through google with the Fi 50% discount code.
The microfiber case looks the most unique but there were initial concerns of it coming off the back (http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/accessories/google-6p-carbon-quartz-case-t3213838). The Adopted case is the cheapest but doesn't look like much. What have you done?

I got the adapted and I like it a lot, however, I should have gotten the carbon. I got the frosted case thinking that it would be more see through on a graphite phone. It just doesn't look right. It is a bit slick, however, it fits the phone nicely and feels nice as well.

I got the $35 (carbon/quartz) case.
Look: so so, doesn't look as good as in the pictures
Protection: great, is pretty thick TPU
Feel: make the phone feel bigger
$35 no worth it, with your 50% off, yes it worth it.
One of the reason I got this case is it has the "NEXUS" logo instead some other case brand logo, but if the case is damaged I would not get another one. I would get a clear case.

Just as a note, I think the code only applies to the ADAPTED case.

Does anyone have a 50% code that they havent used or clicked on the link from the email? Would greatly appreciate it if you can share!

I'm returning the carbon Adopted microfibre case for my N6P. The fit was really snug and the ports/hole cutouts were all fine, but I couldn't justify spending nearly $40 CAD for essentially a TPU case with what amounts to a paper-thin microfibre sticker on the rear. Aside from future peeling concerns, I think the pattern and logo would also start peeling off after hundreds of time rubbing the inside of my jean pocket. Then the case wouldn't become anything special.
I'd rather spend 1/3 of the price on a Diztronic TPU case and customize it myself with a DBrand or Slickwrap skin (e.g. with the rainbow "X" logo).
Another option I'm considering is the Crash Guard by Evolutive Labs paired with a Slickwrap Natural Leather skin on the back.

Does anybody have a black version of this case (https://store.google.com/product/adopted_case_n6p) that they would be willing to sell? I am willing to pay over MSRP.

Beware of the Folio case. Mine is currently stuck on the phone. I'm not alone either it would appear (from the google product support forums). It looks likely that I'm going to have to return the phone for another.
There's either a batch issue or a design issue.

I have the Nexus official case in Carbon and it's great. Love the way it looks love the feel especially the felt back and it is very protective. Totally worth it. The adopted case is nice but I feel it's not as protective

You can count me as one of the 'Loving it!!'-camp. This case is exactly what it's portrayed as: the most intrinsically designed case for the 6P... The rest, as much as they try to be the same, they're still aftermarket products. Yes, I agree 35 dlls is not acceptable, but that's another issue apart from how good this case goes.

I'm another fan of the official case. I also have the Adopted, but the official case is the one on my phone right now and probably will stay that way.

I'm hoping I never have to take mine out again. Once was enough. It's jammed in there for good.

Spigen slim armor failing miserably

Hello.
Just wanted to warn everyone how spigen slim armor fails miserably after 2 weeks of very careful use (its an expensive phone after all).
The matt surface on the sides started degrading already after 10 days, it has the look that you see on the photos after 2 weeks. It's not even presentable.
Spigen supports leaves much to be desired, they implied that because I bought from a 3rd party seller the item might be counterfeit. They ate their tongue when I ve sent photos of the case and the package along with the receipt.
So be aware that this is a really unfortunate attempt for a decent case, too bad for spigen, I thought it was a trustworthy company.

Did they issue replacement / refund?

No they did not.
They did not seem to care a lot. They suggested to talk with the shop I purchased from. Now I am living in some other country and shipping back to the seller would cost me 15 euros, just does not worth my time and money to do that.
It's not about the money, it's the fact it shouldn't happen in the first place and mostly the fact they are not aware yet of the bad quality of this case because it's a relatively new product.
It will hurt them when they start coming back because of failing. Oh well, learn the hard way which companies respect their customers.

That looks like a tough armor? I've had mine few days seems good the slim armor cs was rubbish I thought. Didn't wireless charge and scratches after a day

That is just bad quality and I'm surprised it's from Spigen. Atlhough if you don't mind trying another Spigen case, I use the Thinfit 360 w/o the screen protector and I've been pretty happy with the fit & protection.

That looks just like the tough armor...
Edit: I have the tough armor, chuck that case and get the tough armor
I bought one on Amazon and have used it for about 2 weeks. Doesn't have one scratch and nothing is peeling. Do you keep rocks in your pocket?

Rocks in the pocket?
How'd ya think he paid for the phone & case.................. :laugh:

Dude. How? I've had this case since day one and have been using it on an off since I bought my N9 on release weekend. Did you buy directly from Spigen? I've heard mostly good stuff from their customer support. Something smells funky.

The case is genuine. Bought from an authorized seller.
It's not the tough armor, it's called slim armor.
It's much alike but different button layout and slightly less bulky than tough armor.
And no, I don't carry rocks in my pocket ?
It fails where my fingers are gripping the phone.
Maybe my fingers produce acid or something ?

Same here. I got the Tough Armor on note 9 and it's chipping and fading away in 2 weeks.
It's very strange as I've always bought Spigen right from note 4 and this is the first time it's caused an issue like this!
The Rugged and Liquid Armor I have got no such issues btw.

Wow, quite unfortunate. I've had the Rugged Armor for a month now and it still looks the same. At least you let Spigen know of the issue. Despite you getting it from an authorized seller, many stuff now are made as imitations, so sometimes its hard to tell. Good luck!

This is why I just order my Spigen from amazon and they have no problem refunding me for issues like this. Heck I just returned the blue/yellow one because it was super slick and they took it back no problem!
