Car dock? cases? Is anyone selling them yet?

I've been scouring the web looking for the nexus car dock and some body cases, Even screen protectors. Has anyone seen anything yet?
Think the droid screen protector would fit?

the official accessories are not out yet. when theyre released they will be sold at the official site (www.google.com/phone).
The droid screen protectors wont fit because the nexus one screen panel is curved at the bottom, droid is completley square.

I had in the past bought cases from Ebay for my xperia x1 and went to the same seller and bought another case for the N1. I'll be reporting back on fitment when I receive it.

As of right now I just cutted a iPhone screen protector and made it fit my Nexus one lol. It's kinda ugly, but it'll do until Bestskinsever.com releases a skin for the N1.

The N1 box includes a case thats actually quite nice. Neoprene, fits like glove. Very thin (~1mm).

I'm talking about snapons and gels. The included case is nice but I hate having to slide the phone out its not practical. And usually I'm using the phone if its gonna be dropped haha.

I bought an Eddie Bauer Universal Cell phone Holster from Worst er Best Buy. Not the greatest, but it fits the phone and it holsters on my belt. I don't like having my phone in my pocket so it works for me.
Here is a link to it on Amazon

It fits reasonably well and isn't too hard to get in our out. Will work until an official one comes out.

Amzer Rubberized Case
Anyone tried the Amzer rubberized case (I like this type of case personally)?
Amzer Rubberized case on Fommy
From the obviously photoshopped screenshot it looks like it covers the light and proximity sensor as well as the charge notification LED. Anyone tried this?

I just ordered that in clear. does it fit the device pretty good?

I had the Seidio Innocase for the g1 and while it was thin, the black rubberized material wore off. Im waiting for these, they look like they are made well. http://www.myincipio.com/category/google_nexus_one_cases/

I hope some companies will make nice looking cases like those made by Goincase and Speck for iphone

I just got my case, the only problem being, i still have yet to receive my damned phone! Arrgh!!!

i just got the clear version of this today. and its awesome! very snug fit and has cut outs for everything including the 2nd mic and prox detector,.

Car Holder for $6
Here is a potential one.
It's not the official holder (that will most likely ring in around $29), but for under $6 it could be a good, inexpensive alternative.
The title says Touch HD, but the box says "universal" so not sure on this. But the horizontal mount is nice..

Nexus 4 Bumpers Confirmed [Back in Stock US 12/11/12]

Google's own Dan Morill has confirmed that "Bumper Cases" will be offered for the Nexus 4. This is the first official accessory that we've heard of after the TouchStone charger.
Dan Morrill 1 hour ago
+Dave Ranucci We've actually got some bumpers (ring-like cases that wrap the side but not the back) coming as accessories for Nexus 4, if that's how you roll.
On the back, there is indeed a small raised ridge, which should prevent scratches if not breaks.

Keep in mind this Nexus 4 doesn't have a ridiculous steel frame. Also the back is Gorilla Glass 2.

Nice, I was hoping for this. I love OEM accessories.

Any pictures of what the bands look like?

God I love bumbers on my phones.

cool! I can't wait to see what they look like.. maybe multiple colors?!

As long as they don't add to much bulk around the edges I'll get one. Unless the design on the back is more ostentatious in person, in which case I'll get a case that covers it.

Possible bumper case?
Look at the purple ring like bumper case in the pictures:

Is that really a bumper or is it just the lighting? If the bumper case is indeed that snug then that would be amazing.

That's definitely just lighting.

I definitively want to get a bumper because I love OEM accessories and this phone looks too good to put in a case.

I've never owned bumpers. Do they really protect devices well? As far as I can tell, they leave the front and the back of devices vulnerable to scratches and breaks. But if I'm wrong, please correct me.

They protect the sides and corners and will absorb shock (although not too well) It is a minimalist case, if you are worried about scratches you could invest in front and back screen protectors or have faith in Corning's Gorilla Glass 2.

I think the combination of a screen protector and a bumper will be enough for all but the most paranoid, Gorilla Glass is able to stand up to a lot of punishment.

Bumpers are awesome!
It doesn't add much bulk and protects the device well.

LG Nexus 4 Ballistic Shell Gel SG Series Case Review

Ok I gave this case a good two weeks of use so here's an honest review. Please excuse my horrid writing skills :silly:
I bought this case from a vendor on ebay for $22 shipped to my door step (He only had one in stock). When I recieved the case it was sexy. The materials used to make the Ballistic cases are top notch. This case makes you feel like your Nexus 4 will not die when it falls off of something. It is on the larger side of cases but I like big bulky cases.
OK for the past two weeks I have been using the Ballistic case non stop. I have dropped my phone from a pretty tall height onto concrete using this case. I was on a tall ladder about 12ft high and my phone was on top playing pandora. Well I derped and forgot the phone was up on top when I went to move the ladder. Lets just say it sounded bad when myt Nexus hit the concrete. I picked it up thinking of the worst and what do you know the case protected the Nexus 4 from any damage! So the case paid for itself already! The only negative thing I can say about this case is the rubber used is a little too soft and it does collect dust. Other then that I give this case a 9.5/10!
Ballistic Cases make otterbox's look like cheap plastic snap together ebay cases compared to the LG Nexus 4 Ballistic Shell Gel SG Series Case. I will never buy from another casemaker again!

Thanks for the review.
Do you have a screen protector? How does the case fit with the screen protector?
Does the case cause the phone to get hot at all? I wonder sometimes if these thick cases cause devices to run warmer thus reducing the life of the phone.
Also is that a custom rom you're running? What clock/weather widget are you using?
Thanks again!

No screen protector on my device so I couldn't tell ya. Um no my device never gets hot with or without the case. And I am running the stock rom and the widget is HD Widgets.

What icons are you using on your launcher? Good review by the way.

Nice review. I have this same case and it is great. the response when pressing the power button is really good. The case makes the phone feel solid and secure in hand. I previously had the official bumper and while it showed off the phone it was slippery and I doubt it would have really protected it on a fall. I would have saved myself weeks of angst if I had bought the Ballistic case when I first got my N4.

Just received my Spigen Neo Hybrid case. Pictures inside.

Hey guys, I just received the new case today. I picked it up off Amazon for $14.99. The case looks good and is very well built. The case looks and feels premium.
I went with the Metal blue color for the outer ring. As a bonus, Spigen threw in 3 screen protectors for free! The screen protectors alone retail for $9.99 so its a nice freebie.
Now, I just need the S5 to get here.

I really wish they made a version with a black ring around it.
Can you let me what material the ring around the phone is? I can't tell if it's plastic or some sort of metal.
I just picked up the same screen protectors as well as the Spigen Ultra Hybrid case

Hello,
The ring around the phone is some sort of super hard plastic. Its quite rigid. The Metal slate color I received is very dark, and as close to black as I'll get.

I got the Spigen Tough Armor for s5 (which I love, super protective and the gunmetal one is gorgeous). It looks like these two cases have the same battery door cutoit, so I can say that it is tricky to get the battery door open for sure. If you don't have nails expect to have a little difficulty until you get the hang of it. That's the only qualm I have about it though.

I still think they are way over priced. You can get a much better case for the money.

I just received mine in Dante red. By far the best and most quality case I've seen so far. So happy

it is a little more difficult but the quality of the case outweighs that

I got mine too. Unboxing and first look video on my youtube channel
Seems far bulkier than the one for the iPhone 5 which is a bit of a shame.
Still a nice case tho

I bought this case also.. not so much impressed with it. It feels nice but a few things I don't like:
- It extends the phone out to the sides, typing and using the screen is more cumbersome as you hit the edge of that case that are higher then the screen. In other words the screen is not flush with the case. They did this to protect the screen if you lay the phone down.
- Getting the charge port to open is a pain in the neck -- very hard
- Makes the phone much wider then it is.
I also got the S-View case from Samsung and it's OK but flap won't stay closed all the way which sucks.

Adopted case

Anyone with a 6p try it with the adopted case bought from the Google store?
If so how is it?
Sent from my Nexus 5

I've got the case but the 6p comes in tomorrow.

The case is decent quality but very ordinary looking. The biggest issue which is a deal breaker for me is the fact that it's very difficult to take screenshots due to a design flaw in these cases. The ridges on the inside of the case don't line up perfectly with the buttons. Try it yourself and you'll see what i'm talking about.

My phone is on route
Sent from my Nexus 5

Also this case causes issues if you use a tempered glass screen protector and causes it to either lift up or issues with the edges of the case going over the glass.

Frosty!

As others have said, the case is decent but not without issues. It is a plain TPU case with nothing particularly special going for it. It is probably a little overpriced for what you get; Diztronic and others will be releasing similar cases for cheaper if you can wait.
It does cause issues taking screenshots, though they are not insurmountable; you need to be careful how you press buttons through it to do so. As someone else said, it is incompatible with some of the current screen protectors. I tried the intelliARMOR, but they are a no go together. IntelliARMOR is working on a revised version of their protector.
Overall, I like the case. It is of good quality and it looks good, if plain. The black one looks good on my aluminium phone with the silver fingerprint sensor giving it some flair while not looking out of place.
I prefer the microfiber backed case though. It is essentially the same case with the same problems, especially the overpriced part, but with a different look, feel, and better grip.

Sure! Give it a few weeks for the phone to get here...

Here you go.
The case is ok. Not bad, but not great. The cutouts could be a lot better and on the front, the case covers too much of the edges imo. Kinda hard to swipe from the edges if you use that functionality a lot in apps. I should've probably waited for something else but this one looked pretty slick on the google store. Oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I really like the Adopted case, it fits nicely and snuggly without adding too much bulk. It does look a bit plain and of course like any other case it hides a lot of the beauty of the device...yes...including the visor which it has grown on me over the days.

I've had some issues with 3rd party USB C cables. The cutout on the case for the USB isn't large enough. I'm thinking about enlarging it but haven't decided just yet what to use.

I thought about using a soldering iron. I'm not sure how he did it though without deforming the cutout. An iron doesn't generally remove material it just sort of melts it away and pushes it back.
Also, this is such a thin device that if you remove much you risk separating the cover completely at the charge port. I'm not convinced you can remove enough for many 3rd party cables. It almost requires a different case design.

Does anybody have a 50% code off for adopted case they dont need? Would greatly appreciate it.
