Is there good soft case with no lint?

Im wondering if anyone has found a soft case that doesn't attract lint and dust to it like a magnet. I currently have the cheap silicon one from ebay.

dcmugen88-- search ebay for his epikcases. he includes really great screen protectors as well.

I find silicon ones always attracting lint from my trouser pocket for some reason, which is why I had almost forgotten the existence of silicon cases.
Just my 2 cents.
well anyway, why not go leather?
Take a look if you got a min or so it's pretty cheap for what it is

Try out the gelli by case mate. Not soft but it is flexible and a great alternative to silicone. Look up an iPhone review of the same case to see what I mean.
Everyone I have mentioned it to has purchased one.

gonna dig through it a little more.

Speck Cases

I'm not sure about everyone's preference here to what cases they enjoy, but I have been emailing http://www.speckproducts.com/products/by_device about them making a case for the Nexus One. They have some really nice fitted cases for iPhones and Blackberrys and would love to get one on my N1.
Anyone else interested can submit a request as I did.

I just noticed this is in general section. Can a moderator move this to accessories please. Sorry

Hi,
I would say without a doubt Vaja are the best makers of phone cases in the world. They allow you to customise your choice of case & hand make to order.
The best famous case they make is the Iphone Ivolution cases.
I have opened a thread previously in accessories section requesting people to contact vaja via the Vaja home page to make a Ivolution case for the Nexus One.
If you search on the net "Iphone Ivolution" you will know what I am talking about.
At the moment I have settled with using a Sena Ultraslim Brown pouch.
Here is a few more good companies that make cases.
www.Noreve.com
www.Pdair.com
www.senacases.com
www.Vajacases.com
Thanks
JAW$

I've owned vaja cases for my ex n95 8gb. I really like the look of the speck products. I wwas hoping more people would see them and ask if they would make one for the N1. I dont think they would unless there is a demand for it. But thank for your suggestions

I would love a Speck case. On my wife's iPhone, we use the hard shell case (silicone inside, hard shell outside) and my toddler BEATS it up. She throws it down the steps and practically everywhere else and the phone still looks brand new (been about a year with same case).

Cheap case for G2

So I need help deciding on a case for my G2. I've seen many, but not in person. I'd like it to be cheaper end as well. I've looked at Otterbox's they seem sweet, but just not for me. I also wanted to get your guy opinions on this because I would like it to be as thin as possible when on my G2. Preferably Black or Clear. But if there is one that is like Carbon fiber feeling, Like Chromatics, I'd love to see it.
Please recommend one

There is plenty of info and pics you are looking for in this section of this forum. You just have to kinda search for it heh.
I personally have tried this Resin dark transparant and normal transparant
http://img.cbcdn.net/products/113117/111842.jpg
http://img.cbcdn.net/products/113126/adapt-resin-case-transparant-h.jpg
And altho they are thin and goodlooking it's not what I was looking for.
I also don't really like the fact that it clips around your phone. You can see it on the second picture. It is a small clip that holds the case to the phone parts. And you wouldnt really notice the tiny small gap between the top and keyboard part of the phone but it does and to me it just doesnt feel fine. It annoys me
What I personally am going for is the chromatics carbon fiber skin and a leather case. The carbon skin is just for style and protects it from scratches and the leather case is for overall protection (I hope).
Good luck with your choice! If my choice was to be a hard case I would definately pick the Otterbox. It just looks awesome and is known for good protection. Getting a cheap case is nice but also think about your phone. If u have to pay a little more for better protection, why not right. Longterm wise it's just better imo.

I personally ordered the purple case from the ebay seller "hi-boao", if you go to their shop and search HTC Desire Z you can find their cases. (Sorry just joined, can't post links ^-^;; )
I haven't received it yet, so I can't tell you how good they are, but I like the look of the cases, they're cheap, and come with a screen protector.
Goodluck finding one to your liking, I suggest looking around ebay, there's quite a few on there on the lower price range

Have the same kind of case for my G2 but clear smoke. Gives it a nice tint. Only cost $3.27
Phone: T-Mobile G2/Vision Rooted/GFree'd
Rom: Latest Cyanogen
Recovery: CWM waiting for Amon_RA

Well the resin looks ok. The stuff you described drives me away from it, as you stated xD I have been active around the accessories forum lately. And I just didn't see any cases I thought fit my requirements. The otterbox just seems a tad bit bulky and 35$ sum dollars is a lot to pay for a case. I'll probably scramble around some more. I mean chromatics is sweet... I just wish it was a case. Does otterbox or anycompany make cases that have that carbon fiber feek?

Well, i have seen some carbon fiber cases on ebay, for desire z. Cant find them right now..ill try it another time today.

Did you look at the case in the "Nice inexpensive G2 case" thread? It's black, fairly thin, and has a rubberized feel to it. Plus, it's only a couple of bucks so not a big loss if you end up not liking it...

I googled it real quick and found some hits here for carbon cases.

http://www.handhelditems.com/tmobile-graphic-case-carbon-fiber-p-152754.html
I know there are cheaper ones on ebay. It's just that I dont like searching stuff on ebay hehe.

Yeah I did check the cheap case thread too. Didn't look to get my taste. The wirelessplayground case looks pretty sweet. I'm not a fan of leather so that was going to work out. I wish the third on was a different carbon fiber though I think I may go with the clear kickstand case I saw. Is that thin?

Case recommendations?

I have been looking for a case for my HTC Sensation 4G.
The main purpose is to save a phone in case of an accidental drop.
I read this amazon review
http://www.amazon .com/review/RGI8F3AW3MSD1/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B0054NUFPS
Which is like the most comprehensive review I've seen over there.
So These are the cases that I'm considering
1) http://www.amazon .com/Case-Mate-CM014574-Tough-Case-Sensation/dp/B0054NUFPS/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1251536
2) http://www.amazon. com/Trident-AG-SEN-BG-Aegis-Hybrid-Sensation/dp/B005H4I6GY/
3)http://www.boxwave .com/htc-sensation-4g-cases-and-covers/htc-sensation-4g-armor-case/bwpdd/pf-zzgc/
I appreciate your input on this
Thanks.

Looks like you already have done some research on this. But based on what you want....meaning in case of an accidental drop I think out of the ones you posted, the trident one is the one I think would be the best overall case. I personally use the seidio active case with kickstand with holster and it looks great and I feel safe in not having any exposed corners to chip or bump into.

Thanks for the reply.
Can you please post a link to the case you are using?

Sure, its in my mini review here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282689
But you can try amazon or ebay. You may get it a bit cheaper there. I also know daydeal.com has them as well...I think lol...
But if you are international those choices may be hard. Thanks!

I think I narrowed it down to two. Now have to select one.
Is there anyone who had actually seen/used both?
1. amazon .com/Trident-AG-SEN-BG-Aegis-Hybrid-Sensation/dp/B005H4I6GY/
2. amazon .com/Seidio-CSK3HTSEN-BK-ACTIVE-Case-Sensation/dp/B005EEO4NQ/

Sorry I was incorrect in mentioning the trident case, it was the case mate that I was referring to as per video in that thread.

I'm using the Seido case right now. I love it. I've had it for about 2 months now. Glad I got this one. I like the fact that when you put it in the holster the screen faces in.

I use the Otterbox commuter series, but I think I'm going to switch to the Seidio Active. I don't like the fit of the Otterbox.

I posted a video review of these cases. It compares the Trident, Seidio, and CaseMate. It's in this forum somewhere.
Edit: its the link that kpjimmy posted.

I'm rockin the High Gloss Smoke TPU case:
http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=25
I LOVE this case. The only thing that bugs me is that oils from hands stays on the case, and feels a little disgusting. The other bad thing is that the opening for the micro-USB port is a little smaller than it should be.
Other than that, it's an amazing case. Very protective, sleek, doesn't collect dust, and looks good!
I'm thinking about buying the Body Glove custom fit case, which is a hard-shell case covered in soft-touch coating. At Wal-Mart for $16. Just to try it out.

Thanks. I was looking for some comparisons. The video review you linked was a good comparison.

Didn't see much good reviews on the body glove case.
Free case is good, but more than that I'm willing to pay of a case that will protect my $500 phone

My brother uses a Casemate Tough Case. As a rough-and-tumble kind of guy, he didn't even want to get a case for his phone until I made him, lol. So far he's dropped his phone numerous times with the case on and, I quote him, "It just bounces!. It's a pretty bulky case but if you're looking for protection, I'd recommend it.

Hi!First post,going to try to be useful immediately
I own CM Tough and I'm very satisfied with it,although i don't use it all the time..Dropped the phone 2 times with it on pavement(clumsy me:/) and nothing happened,even the case didn't get any scratches.Also i find it very easy wearing it in pocket,even though it is kinda robust.Compared it to some other case(dont know the brand) and i like CMT more..My vote goes to it.

I'm very satisfied with CM Tough too. It may seem a bit bulky but it still feels pretty good in my hands. It offers excellent protection and looks good too IMHO.

Yeah it's not a bad-looking case at all. I'm sure you could find much better photos but here's a couple of shots I took of my brother's Sensation with CM Tough,so you can have a quick look.
Links to photos are here and
here.

Case-mate Barely there
Personally - I prefer this case! I realize it probably doesn't suit your needs, however it suits mine and I figured I'd share what I use.
Barely there [Case-Mate]

Holy crap tyrol, Im all for great pics but those are some big ass pics lol. Either host them somewhere or upload a smaller pic bro. I had to scroll to the right to view the pics bigtime. Some of us view these forums on our phone/netbooks/tablets!

^LOL, I was usb teathered and those pics blew up my broadband!

[Q] Any interesting/unique cases (Or hardshell leather)?

So I've looked at all the popular cases and most of them were pretty minimalistic while offering protection. None of them had the pizazz I want though and I grow envious of iPhone users because they have much more interesting covers.
I'm wondering if there's more unique and special cases; I guess what I'm looking for are cases that are more "gimmicky."
I'm also interested in leather cases that are a hardshell with leather on the exterior without the cover flap.
I'd post pics but I'm a new member.

Nothing to help you, but I wish these guys would make some other cases: http://www.metaliphonecase.com/

i cant post a link (just re-registered) but type in g2x bumper case into google search and it will come up with the one i use. it kinda looks like the iphone bumper case but with a smoke grey back piece. hope that helps
