Nexus One Otterbox Defender case

Decided to make a small video review on the best case for nexus one . My commuter case broke. So I called and emailed otterbox. I asked them instead a replacement being sent if I could just pay the difference. They said no problem. So I searched and searched for a video and found nothing having to do with this case. So here it is .
hxxp://www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=64cdz3WbhV0&feature=youtube_gdata_player

i actually looked for a video as well, but since there were none (yet obviously) i went ahead and bought mine as well. should be here in a few days. thanks for the video though, im sure it will help others out there.

You wont be disappointed its a little bigger than I would like but very well made

The only thing I don't like and it's not the cover fault is that if the phone ever freezes you need to take the cover apart in order to remove the battery; because there is no physical reset button on the phone.
Again it's not a cover flaw more like a phone flaw.
(On the iPhone you can press home and power button and it resets)

It'll reboot the phone. If it goes into Fastboot mode, just scroll out of it. That saves you the trouble of removing your case.

Awesome! Thanks

anyone else have the problem with the silicone skin coming off the plastic lip when placing it in the holster? i find that im frequently re-seating the silicone skin on those plastic ledges.
great f%^% case though!! best ive ever had for any phone ever.

does the N1 still fit on HTC car dock with this case?

That is the major gripe with any nexus one case..... There is NO oem product that will seat with a case. Better luck with zagg invisishield

i am personally planning on turning the holster into a car holder using the garmin suction cup arm method posted here somewhere. i dont need the holster, but it holds the phone with the case. with card dock enabled by bluetooth there really is no need for the htc dock.

Have you seen the defender? It's HUGE

it is huge and thats why it comes with a holster thats made for it. i will use that holster to make a car dock that will fit the case. thats the point.

If I didn't have the OEM desktop dock and car dock I'd probably get that. I have the Seidio innocase which is pretty easy to take off and put back on. I'd be hating life if I had to take that defender off when I got in the car. The clip is cool if you use the phone while working out or running. HTC is selling cases and a holder for the N1 now too.

My Defender bought in August 16 is falling apart where it snaps to the holster, No falls or abuse.

I use the Garmin holder but didn't need to incorporate the OB holster.
This was originally done to fit my Samsung Captivate with a Body Glove case.
Slight modifications made it work for the N1 with the Otterbox Defender.
I got this Garmin holder of Ebay for like $4 shipped (got 2 for $8 since it was cheap).
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170551993587
Since the Garmin is much bigger than most phones all you have to do is use a heat gun or any heat source to heat up the two end and mold it to the phone's shape.
1st Garmin holder
2nd back side
3rd mount on dash
4th mount on windshield (use for dash cam)

For my second holder I took the clip part of it and and used it with the Pro Clip that I had for my old N95.

There is already a discussion thread about the defender for the nexus and I believe someone posted a video in there somewhere....

KLD Product Info said the Case is made by thin cast aluminum (Photo ~ Line B),
Can you please check out for us if it's true...?
I guess Wireless Charging & NFC Signal will be blocked by the aluminum.
How do you like the fitting?
Will it scratch the phone when install, take out..?
Thanks...!

I think this is the best feature of the Google bumper. It incorporates keypressers so pressing the buttons is not as difficult as cases that have simple cutouts. Would love to see a flip case with buttons similar to the stock bumper.

So, elty123, 10 days since you started this thread. Have you already received your order? We want some insights!

Does anyone have this case yet? I'm thinking of getting the pink one, not many femine covers out for this phone yet.

Still waiting for this case. Not sure if this will work from wireless charger, but my HP Touchpad works with the Touchstone even with a case on. This should be similar I guess.

Finally got the red case. build quality is pretty good, and it is nice to touch. However, it doesn't really look like leather - more like.texture plastic. I think It would look better if it is not a bright peachy red.
I don't know if there is a thin cast aluminum inside, however the cover is pretty sturdy. It also doesn't seems to lower reception strength when the case is opened. I have no wireless charger to test.

So it's not more of a fuchsia or a hot pink? That's a relief, I liked that one. Many of these product photos use really bright light and make the colors brighter than pictured in everyday light.

What can you say about the cuts to access the buttons? I heard they are quite narrow in the Nilkin case, making it a bit hard to press them.

And this is the first flip cover I use, and sometimes the cover doesn't close completely.... is it a problem for other flip cover?

Yep, pretty common.

The cut is not very clean (some residual plastic). Pressing the power is ok but the volume is a bit harder, probably because of the spine.
The texture of the cover is the same as the picture... just that it is a bit more shiny than I thought.
Also closing the cover seems to reduce signal strength by a few dBm. I can't really tell because the signal strength fluctuate a lot here, even without any case.

I ordered this case because it looks realllllly nice. I chose this over the nillkin because I wanted it in brown.

s drive is a kind of like siri that acts to read out directions or messages or phone calls while activated for the galaxy. also if the map is needed you might need to take off the front. but the case does fold slim except for the latch. I would suspect most car holders would be able to handle it

In another thread a guy who owns this case said he has to take it out prior to putting the phone in the car holders, which sucks. Another user says he uses those car holders that have like a glue that dosent leave traces, do you know what I am talking about? He says he just sticks it there, but I dont have much confidence on those car holders...imagine if the phone falls from the holder and the screen breaks!

I use iMagnet dock. My dock is close to the dashboard of the car so when I leave the cover open, it's not flapping around.

Anyone know if the Genuine Samsung Car Holder will work with this case, with the front cover opened?

This original samsung car holder looks pretty solid but from the pictures it dosent look it has depth enough to hold the S4 with the Spigen Slim Armor View...
Does anyone uses this case with a car holder for in car GPS navigation ?

I am looking at getting one of the brodit active docks.. specifically this one..
from what I can tell, there is room behind the phone that the flip may fit in.. I have had tons of these brodit docks for phones over the years.. they are expensive, but found the quality is there.. and I need the install to be as clean as possible.. no unsightly wires etc...

Thanks for that info. But I was on their site and I only see mounts for the S4 when using the Spigen Slim Armor case, not the VIEW version. Am I missing something? The objective was using the GPS on the phone with the front cover opened to the back, so we could see the maps.
Maybe it will work with those universal car holders, the ones with claws. Or the ones with that kind of glue where we simply stick the phone... anyone has tried that yet?

I use mine in a Mountek dash mount. Works fine. I'm sure the extra pressure will eventually wear the hinges on the case faster, but life is too short to worry much about that.

What cases actually fit the microphone on the Verizon model.

Since there are discussions on cases that do not work because of the microphone opening on the Verizon model not lining up, I thought we need a thread on cases that actually do work.
Has anyone found any cases that does not cover one of the microphone openings on the bottom?
I want to get a replacement for the Spigen Ultra Hybrid for just this reason.

Just a wild guess but I bet the cases Verizon is selling directly have the proper alignment (no idea though, can't check)? Why would they move the mic hole? I'm guessing to upsell their cases to you? "Oh well, these are the only cases that fit the phone properly, would you like to purchase for $40 now?".
The second another carrier (T-Mobile probably) get's coverage similar to VZW, I'm gone. I can't stand this constant messing around with the phones. Leave the **** alone Verizon, it's going to come back around to you.

The Supcase fits, they designed it with the different position of the mic in mind.

As I pointed out in the other thread, the Samsung protective cover works.
I'm thinking that other than that, your best bet is in store cases...
Yet another reason I'm happy to not be a Verizon customer.
I wouldn't purchase any third party cases without contacting the manufacturer first and ensuring the Mic placement on their case is open the exact mm away from the edge of the charging port.

This case might work, i ordered it for my tmobile note 4 but when i received it one of the mic holes was off.http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NB3AFM6/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_kX3sub1MRVEWY

I thought it was a manufacturing error in my case since I just bought a random one off of amazon, but now it looks like nearly every case I buy will have this issue because verizon decided to move something in the hardware over 2mm???

Picked up the Incipio DualPro from a Verizon store tonight. The left side mic hole is elongated/bigger to accommodate the Verizon mic position. It it not covered by the case and works perfectly. The case is simiar to the Otterbox Commuter(2 piece case) but is a but thinner.

I get that incipio case delivered tomorrow, glad to hear it fits. I love the soft texture of the incipio case. I've used that same one on my last 3 phones and it's always protected my phones great.

Its a cover, not a case. It covers the screen, and folds into a stand. Thats all it was ever meant to really do. Protect the screen when its not in use. If you think of it like that instead of 'this doesn't protect my tablet at all!', it really does what its supposed to. The magnets could be stronger (they're strong enough in the kb case,) and it could be a better design like the iPad covers, but for $20? Sure, I'll bite.

its a pile of rubbish at 100% off....

is the keyboard case any better?

I just tryed to buy it but the minute I clicked Buy the price changed to normal. GRR!

Agreed. A piece of cardboard is a bit better than this overpriced piece of trash.

I just received mine today and I got to say, I am very impressed! Both the package and the cover itself feel very premium.
The cover itself is very thin and light and therefore adds minimal weight and bulk, which I like. Why buy a light and thin device to only make it heavy and bulky with some clunky case? With that said, this is a COVER, not a case.
The magnets are stronger than I expected. The cover stays connected to the device quite well. I didn't think I could do this but it's very easy to flip it from front to back like you would a smart cover.
It's very easy to fold it into a stand. I wasn't sure how to do it at first but it just happened. The magnets definitely helped getting the parts to fold as they should.
The camera app launched very quickly when the flap is folded down. I'm not sure how often I would use this feature as I rarely use the tablet's camera but it's definitely neat.
Had I bought this at full price, I probably wouldn't be as excited. However, at $20, I am VERY happy with it.

just received mine as well. Haven't ripped the seal yet. Video to come.

Got mine couple of days ago and thought I chime in on the product.
First, I'm very glad I paid only $20 for this cover and in all honesty, I think HTC should only charge $10-$15 for this thing. My break down as below.
Design: A-
The design focused on packing in the standard cover features (cover, stands, etc.) into one simple cover. I think the did well with the folding cutouts and magnets are pretty unique.
Applicability/Usuablity: C-
Although the design concept is great, but the actual experience is far from their conceptual design. I think mostly is due to the magnet not begin strong enough on both N9 and the cover. When used to cover the front of the tablet, the magnets is very weak that you can basically slide the cover off the alignment quite easily. This is quite annoying because you then now have to adjust to how you should flip a cover open, basically, it requires you to open the cover gently so that the cover stays aligned with the tablet.
Because the magnet is not strong enough, don't expect the cover to hold on to your tablet slip out of your hand.
Value: C- (for $20) and D-- (for $40)
For 50% off coupon, it's worth a shot but I'm still left unsatisfied because my $8 bumper case (without stand capability) looks and function more sturdier than this cover.
With a $40 price tag, I say F that.
Hope this helps.
