Any one gettin the Seidio Innocase?

Anyone gonna pre order this?
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr3hnx1-bk.htm
I really want to, but thought I would ask if any one has tried their cases?

I loved that case for my G1... Just waiting for the Nexus version to be released. This little pouch that comes with it just ain't cuttin it! But I will be all over that Innocase once its released

I like their case's a lot, and plan on getting a high quality case for the N1 from them!

i might just pre order then. 30 bux is alot tho lol

Ordered it and the holster a few days ago.

gonna order the combo but worried how good tha holster holds the phone... n how thin the case will be

i just pre ordered 2. no holster

i know someone who has this case for their droid and it's really really nice...
i'm not a fan of it for the nexus though due to the fact that it looks like it's a 2 piece design that comes apart in the middle.
i'll actually wait for this one: http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr5hnx1-bk.htm

why is the non snap in one 10 dollars cheaper?

I want the snap too, but it seems they've removed it from the list??
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/4025.htm
I can still see it in the link posted above but no longer in the page with all the nexus accessories.
Even a search for snap doesn't show a nexus hit. Maybe they've scrapped it...

Had a quick online chat with customer services:
"We are still planning on making the snap but there is no eta. We are working on it, so it will come out we just are not sure on the time."
reason why they pulled the listing:
"We were unsure of the release date and did not want to confuse customers."
Doesn't sound right to me though, it said under development and there was no date mentioned or even a way of preordering (just adding to wishlist), how could that have been confusing?!

Pics when u get tha new suit please lol

got mine dunno if im a big fan. the sliding in of the case almost took my zagg shield right off. I have to fit it at the top and squeeze it in, and still doesnt look like its sitting right with the zagg shield. Oh well gonna keep it on paid 30 bux for it lol

Lightforce, how much thickness does the case add on? Seidio says it's 1mm thick, or thin, but I was wondering if you could tell us how it feels versus the naked Nexus One?

doesnt add much thickness, but makes it feel heavier thats for sure.

ordered mine yesterday. Shipped today.
I had the inocase II for the original storm and it fit great. Hoping this will be the same.
Lightforce,
could you take pics from all angles and what it looks like while putting it on since you said it almost took your screen protector off.
Thanks

Otterbox?

How long after a handset has been released does it normally take Otterbox to start releasing cases?
I had the defender for my DHD and would like to get the same for my sensation.
Thanks.

they told me before that there has to be a demand for them to make cases for specific phones.

Unless your phone keeps the Dr. away, in the wind you will sway.

Yeah I got an email today saying that they are not producing them at the moment.
Ah well looks like I will get a casemate instead

What a mistake on Otterbox's part. Im personally expecting to sell more cases for this then the Evo 3D. Usually Otter releases about 2 months after launch for non Apple products.

So what is the best alternative?
I.E. What is the absolute best in maximum protection?
Looking for a case that even prevents dust from entering as well !

Trident Cases

Nice cases. Though not available for the Sensation either

I wrote to Trident and they said they will be producing a case for the Sensation and they will be available next month. They didn't say which type of case it would be.

Hopefully it will be like an Otterbox.
I'm looking for maximum protection so it preserves the resale value when I sell in a year or so.
If anyone finds a case like that, let us know!

I emailed OtterBox an this was the response.
"At this point we do not have any information if a case will be made at this time for that device, but it is something that has been requested a lot. I would say to keep an eye on our website, as it will have the most up to date information on any new releases that we may have."
I would say keep those emails going to otterbox and we should have a case in no time.

Just emailed them too!
In case others want to show support, the email is [email protected]

Emailed them, here's the response..
"We do not have any information if a case will be made at this time for that device, but it is something that has been requested. I have put in a product suggestion on your behalf, and recommend keeping an eye on our website, as it will have the most up to date information on any new releases that we may have"

I got the exact same response, then the guy said itd be really sick if they came out with one. they'd be dumb to not produce it but im gonna have to get a substitute in the meantime. the casemate looks like an inferior imposter. thoughts?

Me too!
I have also e-mailed them and gotten a response. It said pretty much what everyone else's has said, but it also mentioned that there was a high volume of interest coming in about a case for said device. So it seems this whole e-mailing them is working.

Here's what I got from Zach:
" We currently have no plans to make a case for this device, but I am happy to pass your request on to our development team. Customer Service finds out about new case releases the moment they are posted to the website. It is best to keep an eye on our website or Facebook page, as they will have the most up to date information on our products and new cases."
No plans? Uh Oh

Trident cases (any version that they make) will be perfect for protecting your phone. I had one on my Samsung Vibrant, and it was awesome. The said they will have a case out next month.

Put in my e-mail...
Sent an e-mail to Otterbox...expect the same response as everyone else is getting but hopefully if enough people e-mail they will get the hint and produce a case.

While I'd hate to hide the Sensation's beautiful build, it would be nice to see a rugged case out on the market. Hopefully Otterbox pushes something out soon.

@Otterbox confirmed today on twitter they are developing a case for the sensation! Hopefully they will do commuter and defender at least.
Tpu case working fine for now...

Looks cool but the plastic back will get scratches

Thanks for the headsup. I posted on their facebook page as well.
These look to be the best bumper solution BY FAR! It looks like an outstanding product for the iPhone.

Its either the plastic back or the nexus 4 I think you rather have the plastic back get scratched plus they sell them individually and in colors

well, I guess we wont be seeing linear cases for Nexus 4 anytime soon, based on SGP reply on facebook :
"We will be making our Ultra Thin Air in Black for the Nexus 4. Sorry, no Linear case"

You have to make a request basically, once they see a lot of people asking for it they will consider making it.

I got this from them:
"Hi. Probably, because the shape of the phone is a bit more curved than the iPhone. We will be making a snap case soon. ~3 weeks"
Which I don't get. I mean bumpers exist, so I don't see how hard it would be to throw some plastic on the back of it.

This is what I wrote to spigen on their FB wall
Have you had a chance to pass on to your production team that there's been an overwhelming interest in a Nexus 4 tpu case? It seems like everyone is really holding out for one as there are already a number of "ultra thin" type cases already out and we're all passing up on them. A lot of us are holding out for a truly premium case much like the ones you produce for other phones. Thanks

AND THEIR RESPONSE
Hello. We did, but honestly we are not getting much requests for a TPU case or any specific case. We do get some here on Facebook, but that's about it. We really apologize if the Ultra Thin Air is not what you are looking for. Without a specific carrier to push the device, the device is somewhat only for a targeted market and not the general consumer.

Dummies. Tmobile carries the device

Well their loss. They don't know there are still a lot of people waiting for their phones? I would take advantage of it. Some people only buy one case and stick with it.

Poetic Affinty Again?!?!

Please note : This review is being posted in exchange for receiving the case at no charge.
Yes, I know this forum is littered with reviews of the Poetic Affinity case, but heck, I received one as well and want to share my thoughts too. Feel free to move along if you're not interested.
I’ve been using a Poetic Affinity case for about 5 days now. The nice folks at Poetic sent it in exchange for this review. First things first; here is an imgur album with a bunch of pics I took, in no particular order.
http://imgur.com/a/OJjZ0
My first impression upon opening the package was very positive. Base on the pics on Amazon, I really didn’t think a clear case like this would be very appealing to me. However, it really looks awesome on the phone and increases my grip on the phone exponentially. I love the look of the naked 6P, but I lived in fear of dropping the damn thing as it’s so freaking smooth and thin. This case completely solved that issue. It has very grippy ridges on the perimeter and getting the phone out of my pocket is no longer a risky maneuver.
Based on the Amazon pics, I thought the black frame and accents would look bad. I couldn’t have been more wrong. They break up the giant expanse of aluminum and offer more gripping surface on the back side of the phone, which is critical for one-handed use.
The button feel is excellent. Before getting this case, I occasionally had a problem finding the right button. With the case, however, the buttons are easy to find and offer a very positive and reassuring click when pressing them.
Both the headphone and USB cutouts seem to be sized very well and easily accommodated every plug I tested. All the mic and sensor cutouts also seem to be sized and placed correctly. I haven’t had any issues with taking photos, making calls or recording video. All in all, this case is well designed and executed.
Now, no case is perfect and this one has a couple things that might bug you. The stylized “P” logo sits right on top of the “s” in the Nexus logo and kinda bugs me a little. Clearly, this is not a functional problem and doesn’t affect the case’s ability to protect your phone. The other issue is more of a concern down the road and not right now. I’m not sure how well the clear plastic will hold up over time. Hopefully it stays crystal clear like it is right now and doesn’t turn yellow with time.
Conclusion: Based solely on the enhanced grip and button feel, I’m completely sold on this case. I would happily pay the asking price were I suddenly to need another one. No, it’s not perfect, but it’s close enough for me. Thanks again to Poetic for the opportunity to check out their product.

Aside from it being a very ugly case, I really dislike its branding. The one on the bottom near the USB-C port is fine, but those other two are just not necessary.

I actually like the design of the case, but I agree about the branding. I've talked to someone from Poetic, and they are going to redesign the branding based on the feedback.

To each his own, for sure. I didn't like the looks of it either based on the pics in their listing, but somehow it's different in person. Regardless, it functions well in a way that works for me and that's all I could ask for in a case.

What people will do for a free case. If you post a review on Amazon, like I am sure they expect you to do, you need to explicitly state that you received the item for free for you to review.

Same here.
What is not clear to me, or depicted as far as I can tell, is how the buttons are handled?

Judging by pictures it looks like the fingerprint cutout is quite narrow, and given the overall thickness of this case it looks like one will have to dive his finger deep into that hole in order to unlock the phone. Can you comment on this?
I would also like to see the buttons as this detail is missing on the pictures.
Other than that the cases look good.

Wow. Too cool! I'm gonna definitely have to get one of these soon. Thanks for the share op!

They're fully covered by the case's TPU edges for extra protection, but still easily pressed. I hope these pictures help, but just shout if not - I can always get our photographer to take some better ones in the studio for you.

We've tested the case thoroughly here and found no problems with the access to the finger print scanner. The sensor itself seems to be so efficient that when holding the phone in front of you the tip of the index finger is more than sufficient to unlock it, and we've found this just as easy to do with the case on as without the case.
As per my previous post, you can see some extra pictures of the buttons here:

Ordered a cedar case, and excited to receive it! Don't see many people with wood phone cases out on the street, so I'm glad that you've developed something for this phone.
Like @nexicon I, too, would have liked to have had the Nexus logo engraved by custom request. Toastmade, dbrand, and Slickwraps all offer this option (Toast by custom request) so I'm curious as to whether there's some especially obnoxious, UK-specific law preventing that?

Unfortunately whilst we can't speak for other companies, engraving the Nexus logo onto the case without Google's permission would be enough to constitute an infringement of Google's Nexus trademark and so (for the time being at least) it's not something that we're able to offer, even by custom request.

If you e-mail Carved customer support, you'll hear from them that they have no plans to make a case for the Nexus 6P.
Furthermore, both Carved and Cover-Up have two different versions of their cases: the Slim/Snap series (respectively) and the Traveler/Explorer series (respectively). If you compare the products (for their iPhone 6 lineup) they're literally identical (even down to the design of the rubber surrounding the wood back; I wouldn't even be surprised if they sourced the exact same components and materials). The former happens to be more minimalistic, while the latter offers more protection.
At least Cover-Up decided on making a case for the N6P; they're just only offering it in the Explorer version, since it's more versatile. Personally, I'm glad for this decision because the Slim/Snap series leave the top and bottom edges exposed, meaning less coverage against scratches and drops.

Ya thanks to know

Our #WoodBack cases for 6P are now ready! All pre-orders will ship later on today.
I have uploaded a very quick video of the case here. Please excuse the poor quality of the video, I hope to get our in-house photographer to create something a little better later this week but wanted to give you a sneak peek.
I've also added some extra photos. (This particular case is Bamboo.)
As ever, any questions just shout .

The link you provided directs to an old video of the iPhone 6 and galaxy S6.
The case seems to be as thick as the thickest part of the phone, I guess it's not possible to shape the wood to adhere the the phone's shape?
Is there a gap below the camera where the phone is thinner?
