How good is the Sleeve case included in Nexus one package?

Hi,
Can someone post some high resolution photos from Nexus one sleeve included in the package?
How good is the sleeve and whether it protects the phone in case it hit the desk or when it is in our jeans pocket?
Thanks

I dropped mine on a hard floor from about 4 feet. The sleeve saved it but it still sounded scary. I'm still waiting for my silicone case to arrive.
The sleeve is nothing special. It's neoprene, perhaps 5mm.

I can say that it works very well as far as protecting your phone. I have a N1, but my cousin was trying to see if her Sprint Hero could fit in the sleeve and just when she put it in the sleeve, it fell on the floor. We slid it back out of the sleeve and apart from the battery door popping off, and we snapped it back on, all was well.

I have been using it and it seems to work well enough. It is slim and has the cute android on one side. I'm going to put the Zagg body protector when it comes out in conjunction with the sleeve.

Thank you all for the replay. I think I will stay with Clear-coat screen protector and the sleeve. but can anyone please post a photo of the sleeve ?
specially when the cell phone is inside the sleeve. I want to know whether the sleeve fully covers the phone or the phone is taller than the sleeve.
Thanks

It's actually a pretty good quality case. I would compare it to the one which came with the G1, just different material.
Here is a pic I took with the N1 camera

It's like the Body Glove mobile phone cases... Nice and compact..
I took a quick video clip of around the case and a frame grab here showing the depth of the phone in the case

Hey, that's a really nice case! Thanks for the pic!

I like the little Android on it. I wish Google would make an actual case to carry on your hip with that on it.

The same thing happened to me. i dropped mine but it wasnt 4 feet and the phone came out alright. like you said it was scary.

The case is nice, it is slim and cushy. That said I don't think it will protect it from serious falls. If you are careful its nice, it slips in and out easily and doesn't add much width of it at all.
I will be looking into other things as well...that you don't need to remove in order to use the phone but we will see. I hate adding width to the phone at all

The sleeve is just OK for now, until better protective cases hit the market!

Thanks everyone for sharing the pictures and your thought.

does a decent job of wiping the screen off as you push it in and pull it out if you put some pressure on the front

this is what i like most about it

I think the sleeve does it's job, however I cannot hear my phone calls very well when it's in the sleeve, and if your trying to answer a call when you do actually hear it you have to hustle to remove it from your pocket and try to get it out of the sleeve to answer the call. It's tricky. I cannot wait for the 2 docking stations that are coming out at the end of the month. One for the desktop and one for the car. Both will use the little gold contacts on the bottom of the phone. So you do not have to use a docking station with a damn micro usb sticking out of the docking station, you will be able to just set your phone onto these stations, and it will charge without connecting anything.

Eh, who said anything about them coming out at the end of the month? They haven't been announced at all, much less given release dates. We only know about them because they passed through the FCC.

From my past experiences ...
... Just wanted to share this: I have had several similar sleeves that came with phones I have had in the past and here are common problems I have found with them:
(1) Most of them use glue in addition to stitching in their construction. After months of use (and possibly from body heat if commonly stored in pocket), the glue starts to marr the phone
(2) Most of them have nice soft OUTER finishes but not so on the inside. This is true for the N1 sleeve too. Feel the roughness of the edges and sides on the inside ... not sure anyone would really want their phone sliding up and down on that especially if the sleeve is snug.
(3) Most of them tend to double as screen cleaners if used a certain way (either on the inside or using the outside), but end up leaving surface scratches in the long run.
(4) Even the best of screen protectors tend to affect the screen resolution and/or viewing angle even if just slightly.
Granted that these experiences ranged over several manufacturers (Sony Ericcson P series, HTC, etc) and several skins/screen protectors, but I have now built up my knee-jerk reaction of a shudder everytime I think of a sleeve or a screen protector .... of course, thats just me
Just my two cents ....
On a side note, I am in search for a vertical flip style ("book style") for my N1.
I guess my logic is this: protect when not in use, but let me have the best resolution when IN use ... in case anyone knows of a good one, please let me know?
Thanks!

Nexus one Leather Pouch

Hi,
There has been a lack of leather pouches for the Nexus One.
I Just found some really good one from ebay: -

Why don't these cases cover the top of the phone! Is there like a reason for this?! I mean seriously, the phone can fall out, you can drop it on its top, what would make them leave the top part of the phone un-protected and cover the rest of it -_-'

I guess you can see the upper part of the phone so you can take it out with your fingers.
The pouch is only on the phone when you are not using it i.e. pocket, handbag & anyway when you are not using it what the % anyway the chance that its going fall on the upper visible side of the phone.

the only concern is that the pouch has a magnetics...which might mess up you compass.

I don't think the magnet is strong enough to mess up the compass

Sorry too junior to post a link but what about the pull-tab leather holster from shop.brando.com ( use find product on the home page ).

magnets will screw with your compass. I had an N1 holster with magnetic
lid closure. I tested first. Started with the compass app on, with the phone
front of me like normal and held the holster at arms length, and slowly brought
it closer. At about 2 1/2 ft, the compass needle started deflecting, and got
much worse as I brought the holster closer. Got my money back.

I've also had two of my bank payments cards destroyed by magnets on the phone-holster....The magnet-stripe on the cards couldn't take it when I accidently put the phone and card in same pocket....
(of course the chip on the cards is more widely used now, instead of the stripe, but...)

What is wrong with it specifically? How is the quality and fit?
I'm looking for a nicer case than the stock one, mostly to protect it from my keys. I don't really mind if the compass doesn't work when I'm not using the phone.
If this isn't it, does anyone else have a recommendation for a quality N1 case under $40?

I want a real friggin' pouch with leather carved of Virginian grown cows with the Android logo iron-burned into the leather and smooth innside lining.. I would pay top $$$ for one.
None of that fake syntethic leather stuff.. i want to spoil my Nexus..
Somthing like this: http://www.senacases.com/google/htc-google-nexus-one-cases/

I ordered http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000884&products_id=28053
Looks classy and nice, even though it won't have a flip i hope it will fit it tight enough. Still, i want a cow pouch and would kill for one..

I have the sena flip case with the magnets. It does not affect the compass when the flip part of it is open or flipped backwards under the phone. If you go to flip it closed the needle will twirl as you pass the magnets over the top of the phone. That's the only time though. Nothing while it's in the case.
I hated the case at first. Couldn't grab the pull down bar at the top of the phone. After breaking it in for a week it was no problem.

I've always liked Sena cases. VERY high quality stuff. I two in the past, one for my HTC 8125 and one for my Blackjack II. Never ended up getting one for my Tilt 2, though. I play on getting the Ultraslim soon for my Nexus One.

You can tell these manufacturers do not use a cell phone.
These cases NEVER have a hole for the speaker. With the nexus speaker being so low I can only imagine how those cases will muffle the sound.
I always end up cutting a hole myself, but WHY don't they do that themselves? Would be very easy for them, than we can hear ringtones and music with no problem!

Yeah it is sweet but I gave it away because I use the chrome snap-on case from Case-mate and it would fit anymore now I have to use the pouch that came with the phone which I love anyways. When it comes to the Snap-ons I've bought almost all of them even the new one from Incipio and they are all pure crap except the one from Case-mate I give it a 9/10. Also I submitted a review for that case 5 stars but for some reason they didn't accept it.

There is the original HTC pouch for the Desire. This should work great with the Nexus.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 book cover case review with wake and sleep mode

Im really liking the wake and sleep feature on the Galaxy Note 8. This is a nice feature found on the iPad Mini and the Kindle Fire HD tablets.

Got the book cover case and really like the sleep and wake feature of it

To anyone who picked one up, how does it feel in terms of bulk? Also, when the cover is folded over, does it lay flush with the spine or does the flap stick out?

It is very thin, as thin as my nexus 4, and feels like a father compared to my original xoom
the cover is just like the s3 flip cover but it snaps on the back instead of replacing the battery cover
and it triggers auto on and off like the ipad smart cover

Caved in and picked up the cover on the way home today. Some initial thoughts:
1) The case adds no real bulk to the device itself. The backplate and the screen flap are both super thin, so even when folded over, it's doable for someone like me who hates cases.
2) Because its all so thin, however, it does feel sorta cheap. If this suffers from the same build issues I've read the S3 version has, I don't have high hopes that it's going to last long.
3) The screen on/off thing is awesome. The sensor part of this is actually along the spine, not the edge of the flap. Not a complaint, just an observation.
4) When folded over, there is a bit of a "lip" around the spine. I can't say I love this, but it doesn't really impact the way I hold the device.
5) The "stand" feature is alright and seems stable enough as long as you use it in the single position it was designed for. I do with it had a few more angle options.
Verdict? Meh. It's not a bad case, and I don't intend to return mine, but had I been given the opportunity to play with one before, I don't think I would have spent the extra $50. At half that price, it wouldn't change my opinion, but I'd be far less disappointed.

I have the book cover for my 8.0 and it is not very heavy, acts like a stand and turns the Note on and off when I open and close it. Very convenient. Got mine on Amazon for $5.99. Thought I would give it a try for that amount . So far very happy with it.

The only one I see on Amazon for that price is the IVSO version. What I hate about those cases is how you actually have to put the tablet inside and wraps around the front. The official book cover simply snaps onto the back of the Note 8.

I bought that same cover and also bought a similar one:
http://www.amazon.com/Dealgadgets-S...&qid=1366425979&sr=8-2&keywords=Galaxy+note+8
They both look essentially the same and add about the same bulk.
Major difference is that the Moko cover has auto wake, soft inside material, hand holder, and the pen holder doesn't interfere with IR. But it reeks! I mean it smells so bad I couldn't keep it in the same room with me. I left it outside overnight and it is still off gassing.
The Dealgadget cover has no weird smell. But also no wake function, no softer inside material, no hand holder. The pen holder is in a better location except if you plan to use the IR function. It is on the side of the tablet and I found it interferes with the IR.
So I ended up ordering the Samsung cover from this site. Since its coming from Hong Kong it will probably take a couple of weeks to get it. But I can't justify spending $50 for a cover. (Even though I probably will have spent close to $50 before I find one I like).
http://dx-box.com/catalogsearch/result/index/?cat=364&q=Galaxy+Note+8.0
I never purchased from this site before so I can't vouch for them yet.
I also have the upcoming Poetic case on order since its only $5. But it's not due to ship till May.

good one
hi budy go to your level best and may astonished to the forums:good:

When looking for some case reviews I stumbled over http://galaxynote8cases.com/ and they actually seem to have some good reviews. The only thing that is a real pain with the Note 8 is that it's tough to find any accessories for it.

I just got the white book case cover, its perfect for people who are careful with their electronics but like that extra layer to prevent scratches. Adds virtually zero weight.

Thats the big selling point for me here. The absolute lack of bulk on this is awesome. I only wish this had two more features:
1) A magnetic hold when the front flap is covering the screen.
2) Another magnetic hold for the flap when its folded over the back.

There is a slight hold on the front side, as to not make it appear flimsy. When you flip it around back it "gives" a bit easier to fit snugly. Hard to explain, but clearly well designed.

Where are people buying this case, i cant find it anywhere.

The Book Cover Case is available in the US at local Best Buy, Staples and Office Depot. The only color is white, but the other colors will be available shortly.

Unicorn Beetle Case

Hi
My unicorn beetle case just arrive and I want to share my toughts with you.
First I order it from Amazon as I live in Chile the final cost was around 50 bucks.
I drop my first moto x 2014 (the one in the pics) and it screen shattered so a case for my new moto X was a must.
The case came in a really simple cardboard box, inside you find the 3 parts of the case:
- Front panel
- Back panel
- Belt clip holster
The plastic bag that contain them have a QR code with a link to a video of how asamble it but is really very easy.
The front panel have a integrated screen protector and only leave the mic, front camera and speaker unprotected (this is why this case is not waterproof).
The backpanel leaves the Motorola, the camera and the back mics unprotected also, but it have protectors for usb port and the audio jack.
The only fail that I notice is the holster, only once I was able to attach the phone to it, I haven't been able to do it again, it should be a lot more easier, but anyway I dind't plan to use it.
The phone dosn't gain a lot of weight and I still feel it comfortable.

I don't know if that will be a great idea, I use mine all the time but for a test that I really need to use wolfram alpha I remove it, I haven't been able since then to use it with out bubbles in the screen protector.

Actually bought one,
Very happy with it, just the hard plastic back is easily scratchable, i already got a deep scracth in it... Tried it on a coloured back moto X too and the frosted back is wonderful !
15€ on Amazon.fr

any updates? i tried the link you posted but had no luck. i got my phone on jan 2,15 and havent yet been able to find a case i like for it.

I've had this case for about a week, and I have mixed feelings. It's a very rugged case, and I feel comfortable about the phone not being damaged. However, there are a few things I would change about this case if I could. First, since the case isn't waterproof, it could do without the integrated screen protector and headphone/power port covers. It takes a little bit of dexterity to hold the cover open just to plug in the charger. Secondly, the power and volume buttons could be more pronounced. I have accidentally turned off the screen many times while trying to adjust the volume.
I don't regret the purchase, though, and I'd definitely recommend it as an alternative to Otterbox.

I've had this case in white for just over a month, here are my impressions.
- sturdy case
- excellent quality
- great price
First thing I did was yank off the screen protector. It is a far better plan to apply something like a BSE skin than to keep using the screen protector that's included.
This means you can take off/on the case with little fuss as much as you want. Its easy to remove and seems up to the task of repeated removal.
The fact that the front of the phone sits in the trim piece is awesome. Makes for a sandwiched and protected feel.
I like the port covers. Yes, they can be a pain to pop open for time to time but again they also seem to be built well enough to take the abuse.
Since we don't have a waterproof phone but only the nanocoating inside I like the added ingress protection that they offer.
I have the white/grey case and it is gaining some darkness on the corners but I'll blame my grubby mitts on that one.
The holster is good not great. Phone sits well in it and feels well made. Too bad its missing the kickstand in the clip.
All in all I give it a 9/10.
For the price it sells for and the protection it offers its a no brainer.

@shanedragon, could you please post some pics of the case? I'm about to pull the trigger on the black/blue version, but I'm curious about how the white looks in real life.
I'll do the same, if I get the blue.
Thanks!

I have it in white. Here are a few photos I took. The photo of the front is a bit blurry.. Sorry!

I've had one of these cases for a while. I only use it when at work and do a manual job with dust, grit, grime and angry bovines. Well they're not angry all the time! The case is the dark gray/black and is in not bad condition considering. The Moto X on the other hand is pristine despites drops out of open tractor doors, drops onto concrete and countless excursions onto cab floors.
The built in screen protector is useful as I don't have anything on my moto x 2014 screen. I tried a couple of the glass screen protectors but removed both after a short time with the edges lifting and dust getting under the lifted edges. I also like the port covers though agree both are a little tricky to open. That said I rarely open either when the case is fitted. On previous phones I've has dust and chaff get jammed in the usb port and once somehow managed to get an animal feed pellet stuck in the headphones jack.
When I ordered the Unicorn case, unbeknown to me the mrs had ordered me an Otterbox Defender case so have that as well. It seems to bulk the phone more than the Unicorn case and the rubber texture makes it less easy to remove from pockets. It is also harder to fit compared to the Unicorn but on the other hand you about need a tyre lever to remove the Unicorn. It's a good case but prefer the Unicorn. I say again I only use a case on my Moto X for work. For pleasure it goes bare

I ordered the Beetle case, and it is in my opinion, the best case I have tried for the phone.
Thanks for the suggestion

New case on Amazon

Looks pretty sweet, just came across this case on Amazon

I ordered one and hopefully get it by Friday/Saturday. No prime shipping with this purchase unfort.

Would be interested to know if the case blocks the speaker on the phone or it routes the sound toward you. It looks like it could be routing the sound from the speak to the 2 holes at the bottom.

Please let us know how it is. It looks pretty decent, hope it's not that bulky. Thanks

It seem that parts of the case are metal(aluminum?) and I hope this case won't make cell reception even weaker than it already is.

Xela19115 also mentioned the case here a few days ago. Looks like a tank itself.

I may order when someone else serves as the test subject.
I'll stay tuned to see how other folks like it.

I ordered this case and immediately had horrible signal issues. I've e-mailed the seller asking if there's a solution. It's too bad to use as a phone, though wifi was not blocked at all. Normally I have strong LTE in my house but it's unusable with the case on.

Marvel should sue them for stealing Spiderman design (j/k). Only if this case had a belt clip, I'd bite. I want someone to make a case with a clip!

They already have some cases with holster and belt clip on Amazon.

to each their own... but gawd, that's ugly.

I bought it when it first went up, before their description made it clear it was steel, I was hoping for a thin metal slip. The case is heavy as hell, and the built in screen protector traps pocket lint between the screen protector and screen. The case is held on with 6 hex screws, which worked, but made it even heavier.
It did muffle sound a little, as to radio...I'm just switching to Ting with GSM from Sprint with my phone. I was worried for a bit that my phone was the issue, but a girl who has a galaxy phone has all the same signal issues I did on Sprint. I'll let you know of mine is better, and how GSM is impacted by the case later.

I should also mention, like the Tudia, it made my side access worse. I use Lucid launcher specifically for the left side slide out favorite apps, these were really hard to activate on both this case, and the Tudia. I also use a pie fromthe right side, this was similarly hard to trigger, but at least I could customize the trigger width to accommodate the massive bearth.

Here is another new case on Amazon.

The shortcut leads to the phone rather than a case.

That doesn't look like a quality case to me. The back looks like plastic. But there aren't a lot of cases compatible with the 360 Camera so if you want specifically to use that feature it's probably worth taking the chance since the case is so cheap. But if you don't care about the 360 Camera there are clearly way better choices.

I bought it.
It actually isn't cheap feeling.
Soft touch.
Pretty heavy.
Secures on the phone pretty well.
Looks like it will protect the phone in a drop.
It does add bulk.
The flip down for the camera is pretty cool.
The opening on the back for the camera is large since the case is so deep.
The fingerprint sensor hole is also large because they made it to clear the camera opening without leaving a small piece of TPU inside.
Overall I like it for the ~$10 I paid.
It is either this or naked.

I bought it as well.
Doesn't feel cheap to me.
Adds a decent amount of bulk to the phone but not too much.
The flip down feels pretty sturdy and hopefully it won't loosen over time.
It has a nice feel to it. Soft but not slick. Sort of rubberized.
I've been using the first Tudia case that came out for this phone for awhile now and it's fine most of the time. But when I do use the 360 lens it is a hassle. Having to peel the case off. Hopefully this fixes that problem.

I tried it yesterday and the flip down works fine.
It's a bit stiff to latch and unlatch, but it does solve the 360 camera issue.
No more case removal! It also means that those screen protectors that glue around the edges will bel see likely to lift.
I still haven't decided if I want to use LOCA to attach a screen protector to my phone.
