Thinking about moving from a case to a skin. Was curious if anyone else has skinned their M9, and which brand you used. Don't want to fly blind if someone has had a good or bad experience with theirs.
I have used 2 d brand skins and they look nice it's just hard to get them perfect on the curved corners on the phone.

Yeah, I use a hair dryer to heat them up so they conform well.
dbrand has great video tutorials on their site.

Slickwraps are the way to go. Had them on my last 3 phones.
I've used dbrand and slick wraps on my last few phones. Can't go wrong with either. Dbrand carbon fiber is a little slippery though.

I don't know a bout the quality but you can find crazy skins for the m9 on ebay , more choice than on dbrand or slickwrap and cheaper prices
Slickwraps is really good. I've been buying wraps from them for many of my devices and they are excellent. I stopped buying from them though, because when I got a wrap for the M9, it lasted only about a week because it started too detach from the sides. I contacted the company and they said they couldn't do anything to help me. I was surprised because they are always very attentive with their customers. Regardless of this situation, I can say that their wraps are just great and would recommend them to anyone. I'll probably get a glow in the dark one once I'm over this little inconvenience.

Vinyl skins can be manufactured very cheaply, but in my experience, you get what you pay for with this kind of stuff when it comes to fit, durability, and appearance.
And it's not like name-brand skins are that pricey. I just got the mahogany front skins from dbrand, and the fit and look are perfect. $5 with shipping.

Hey everyone,
I've been shocked to see only Google's Nexus One came with a cute android pouch while the other phones, well... didn't come with one.
My friend has a G2 and I want to get her a pouch as a small gift. I found one on eBay but not sure if the material is similar to the N1's pouch. Can anyone confirm?
LINK: (darn, I can't post links yet) (but its only ebay)
and do you think I can add stitchings to the pouch? Is there, perhaps, a site that offers android pouches as well as stitchings?
Thank you in advance
The mytouch has pouches too

I use this case from Proporta:

I actually originally bought it for my Nokia N95, and it's such a universal size that it even fits my G2! It's made of leather and has a nice felt (or something like it) lining inside to keep the phone from scratches and stuff. I've dropped this phone and my N95 while in the case quite a few times and it's saved the phone from getting scratched or dinged. I really love the thing a lot, and it comes in nice colors too. Here's a picture of my G2 in it:

Ohh thanks for the picture!
I use the pouch that came with my old G1.
Second. Using my G1 pouch; the G2 fits perfectly (thinner, but the wider profile picks up the slack), and it's a little badge for those who've been with Android since the beginning.
I have one from my camera I'm using. I used to hide other stuff in it before but its good for the phone.

Using my G1 case too, perfect fit.
There are 2 pouches on this website: http://shop.htcpedia.com/t-mobile-g2/accessories/cases/pocket-pouches.html I like the HTC one.
I've ordered from them and they ship really fast, my package was shipped on a Tuesday from NY and got delivered here in IL on Thursday.

Sweet, you're right. Gonna wait for my knock off nexus one pouches from Hong Kong first. If they sucks, I'll grab one of these.
I use the pouch that came with my n1. the phone got stolen, but the case lives on.
I would highly recommend the official HTC Desire Z slip pouch. It's amazing, minimal, and protects the phone really well. I had an issue with the color of the rubber portion of the phone changing color from using a black case, but this HTC pouch has a light gray cloth interior (and black leather exterior) which has not compromised the phone is any way. It's perfect. $12.99 (no shipping) from Expansys-usa.com... you can probably find it other places as well.
Just got my white, clear and black ones in today. Cases fit like a glove. Tighter than any other TPU case I've ever used. Not sure if it's the case or just this phone design. It is very slim and minimal. White on white is perfect for me. It doesn't take away the phones look at all. At a quick glance someone wouldn't even notice there was a case on the phone.
Highly recommended...make sure to order the OneXL version.

But only thing is that the camera lense looks exposed. If you set it down flat on the table, it sits on the lense. Here is comparison between my clear case which protects lense and the one I have which is like this tpu case.

I got my clear from Amazon. I don't think it had the picture though. Found it by name.
To the guy above I do wish the camera lens was protected...maybe a little bit thicker just around that, but I can't say enough how slim the case is and it doesn't add any bulk to it really.

I like slim, thats what I was going for with the casemate barely there case, but without that protection around the lense, it doesn't truly serve its purpose for being a case.

To each his/her own. Since when does protecting the camera define the purpose of a case. That's like saying any case besides a OB Defender doesn't serve a purpose because the screen is exposed.
I like going without a case so having this is better than nothing. I'm not worried about the camera. Pics taken with my phone serve no purpose besides maybe FB.
I went for the "Buy One Get One Free" deal on Amazon and picked up the Black, Clear, and Smoke colors. The Clear looks best to me on my white One X. I usually change cases every other day so the other two are back up

So I saw these became available over the weekend and had to order them. I got 3 of them. I got the Black & White Abstract (Inverted), Camo Light Green, and Andy Scratched. As I have said in the past, I had this series on my Gnex and that is why I rushed to get these. Let me say again, not disappointed. Highly detailed, great TPU feel (not plasticy like some would think by the looks) and kickass designs. It doesnt have the volume cut out but as I have said before, I actually am happy it isnt. I dont click them on accident with any of my Cruzer Lite cases on. All other cut outs are perfect. Ive become a pro on putting on these cases. FYI, there is a wrong way to put them on. Start from the top and then the bottom right side and then finish up with the bottom left side. This way, all the cutouts match up 100%. I have a crappy cam in bad lighting so the pics are crap. Im sorry. Check out cruzer lites site or amazon for high res ones.
I thought the Andy Scratched was going to be my fav but once I got the camo one up close and noticed there are Andy's hidden in there, its now my fav.

I'm talking about the andy scratched case. Do the green scale looking part feel different to the rest of the case or is it just glossy?

It feels like the rest of the case. The persona line is just fancy designs. They dont add any different feel.
What's the difference between the 'Persona,' 'A2,' and plain TPU cruzerlite cases?
I like the design of the 'Argyle' type, but if it's not as good quality materials I may opt for another.

Persona is their fancy line with all the different designs, the A2 is what got them famous with the Andy in the case design, which also adds to a better grip I think and the plain is just a plain tpu one with no grip. I have the persona and A2 and I have the A2 on my phone 90% of the time.
Thanks man
these are really cool appreciate the post
I've only had my N4 since December, but have accumulated a few random accessories along the way...well not as much as some folks here :silly:. This is mainly going to be a small collection of photos I took of the pouch made by a nice artisan who is also on Etsy by the name of Begoos and can make custom size cases in various materials to fit what you want. (I won't link to her, but if this interests you, she can easily be found if you search for "Nexus 4" on Etsy). I found out recently this pouch was mentioned in the thread about pouches that fit the bumper so I think some of you know about it or have it or even posted a review of it. I know everyone doesn't use pouches, but I was just so impressed with this pouch and the bumper after waiting for like two months for it to come back in stock at the US Play Store.

This hand-made pouch has a magnetic type closure/flap, which I really like over the drawstring type. This pouch's centered flap position and position of the N4's headphone jack mesh pretty well in usage. Even a large headphone adapter can fit without any conflict from the flap.
This is now closed:
A naked N4 fits very well, and the "cushion" material inside makes it kind of like a small amount of padding. So, I think it is pretty decent for a small amount of protection (well, I can only assume...).
A bumper-equipped N4 slides in and out of the pouch without any hassle. And fits inside like it was made for it.
All I remember telling her through Etsy was the bumper dimensions so I believe it was made slightly wider than her usual N4 sized pouch. It took about two weeks from her in Latvia to me in the US (back in early January), but the wait was well worth it! Personally, this is definitely just as premium feeling and a "feel good" buy as the LG Bumper IMHO. Even if you don't plan on using this daily, it's one of those nice to have items if you plan on keeping your N4 for a long time like me. I hope this was helpful.
cool, nice clean pictures, looks like you love your nexus a lot

Thanks! The pouch looks nice. I'm thinking of getting one
Very impressed with the OP's collection!
I also bought a case from Linda with a small logo drawn . Very quick turnaround, and very personalised purchasing experience. Shipping took 2 weeks to Australia. Case is well constructed as described by OP, and she has a variety of fabrics and colours available to personalise your case. Here's a pic of mine. Loving my N4 and case to bits!
I have to say she did a SPECTACULAR job with your custom N7 logo sleeve! :highfive: GJ Linda!
Wow, very nice looking sleeve. I had not really considered one until seeing your pictures. Seeing as how I am trying to live without a screen protector, this may be a wise investment.
edit: I just messaged asking if she could do a custom order for me: one with a pocket on the back for credit cards/etc., similar to the ones she has on some of the nexus 7/iPad mini sleeves. It would be great to be able to leave the wallet behind some nights.
I'm liking the big lebowski and OP's sleeve

WoWWWW
any comments about this who have and what about nillkin brand?
No comment on the brand name. China brand names are mostly just names on generic product. Didn't like the aluminum bumpers on any of my phones. Tried it with a Note 2 and S4. They're bulky, have a slight gap because of the thin neoprene layer. Just didn't care for it. I like the idea of a tpu bumper and replacement battery cover as a minimalist look with protection. Only wish they'd make a battery cover with a kickstand, then I'd go with the bumper and have a great combo.
I like the look... I already order 3 cases that I probably wont use much...lol
I end up going naked. haha:laugh:
Funny how the labeled the mic holes as speaker holes.... on a positive note it looks like the cut out is big enough to fit both designed.
I had this bumper for my LG G3. Nillkin makes really solid cases. Very good quality.
I also ordered black color. Pls who received the bumper write here comments and pls attach pictures.
I am a sucker... I order one. Lol

Not the case with Nillkin, they make their stuff in-house and it's not generic rebranded stuff. They make quality cases/screen protectors.

Mine is still in transit from China.
Pretty pricey for a case that came from china, usually even the spigen knock offs cost 5.99 but I'm ordering a red one soon
Mine Orange color is also still in transit from China.
A think this cases still not ready or something else, because my shipped 12 days ado but still no tracking info and it is in China.
