Nexus One case from Ultra-Case now available

Just saw this
http://www.ultra-case.com/product.php?pID=415
Hopefully they will have more variety soon.

Seems like a nice case. I might try it out. Been looking for a nice case but nothing so far.

I went ahead and got one. I will post pics and impressions one I get it (and my phone back).

Lmao this is the exact case dcmugen sells on eBay including a Martin fields equivalent SP for 4.99 shipped.

dcmugen88 is selling that case on ebay for just a few bucks.

heh, ah well. I never shop at eBay. Not worth the effort of cancelling.

Gonna order my ultra case tonight its not the same as the ones on ebay.... the ebay ones r knock offs

... except the eBay one came out to the market first

You can be sure that the Ultra Case ones come out of the same Chinese factory as the eBay ones.

Is this case thin enough so that the sleeve can still go over it I wonder? I'll check you the ebay one also then.

Looks a bit too plain for me. I'm going to wait for some newer designs. Like the fancy kind they make for iphone/ipodtouch

The link now takes me to the main page, can't find the ones for Nexus One .

weird...it still works for me. What about this http://www.ultra-case.com/products_nexus_one.php?

The red NEXUS ONE label has got to go, its a deal breaker for me.

looks like the Crystel Gel case only more $$.. I have been using my g1 cover with the Crystel Gel case and it fits very well.. probaly the same goes for this.

anyone get this yet?

I ordered one today Express Delivery.. Im assuming they ship out of China tho so who knows when I'll see it.
Ive been torn about a case because I use the Google Dock but Id rather take the phone in and out of the case than have it get damaged not having one. Hopefully the case comes off and on easily.

Looks good, care to post a link to where you bought it?

Problem with these is that the top and bottom are not fully covered so can't see the case protecting those parts very well.

This is the one I bought, really good case for the price. Rubber back and protects all sides, just a bit of a shame with the 2 materials being different [back and sides].

I've already got one which is the same material all they way around:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLACK-Epik-Ca...vo-/300423044647?pt=UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL
I wanted something that was specifically thin and didn't conceal the shape and colour of the Desire.

It's the same design as Capdase's Soft Jacket 2 Xpose Tinted
I would say it's a well designed case and fits nicely in the phone without any free play

No thats a different case. That material is on the edge of the phone case that I have so it is flexible, but the main part is a plastic material so it is solid but a rubber coating so it feels like the back of the Desire rather than being smooth. Can take a picture for you tonight if you want.

Nexus 4 - with 'flick' stand.

Just want something till the wireless charging orb comes out.

Nothing yet, but I know Seidio has one coming up in January. Don't count Nillkin out yet either or even Poetic lol. But nothing with a kickstand yet.

Ended up purchasing this one: http://r.ebay.com/64RBkN

Looks like the Nillkin's for the Sensation but rubber. Also can you tell if that can be used in landscape?

If it's anything like a picture frame stand then yes it should be able to. I assume all these kickstand cases are made primarily for landscape so it should work. The case looks a bit too thick for my taste.

I hope so. I have the nillkin case for my sensation that looks almost exactly like it. For kicks (pardon the pun) I pulled it out to see if that ever did landscape and the case itself does not. It tipped over in landscape. Maybe the phone uses it's own corner to prop it up as well?

Nice find! Not in the market for one, but that one actually looks good! LOL

Wood imitation back cover from ebay

So I was always jealous of OnePlus' wooden battery covers. After realizing that the mi 5 has a removable back, I had no other choice but to buy one myself.
A brief search on ebay provided me with a few choices, and I bought a mahogany one for 9 bucks.
Of course for this price it is nowhere near wooden, but the feel and warmth are kinda same with polycarbonate, instead of the cool glass.
The shipping was terribly slow, but eventually got here, and to be honest it's not half bad. The texture is nonexistent, but the printing and smoothness makes it look like the real thing, unless inspected with macro lens. With the luphie bumper case it pairs up really good.

A suction cup? Do you use that to literally pull the glass back plate off?

Protection?

As it is made of polymer, it absorbs shock, but I don't think a back cover would make much of a difference when dropped, hence it usually lands on the corners. If I were you, I'd buy a bumper case or just a normal case.

Of course it does, but it's still quite good.

0.46mm Super Skin. A case hater's dream.

It isn't exact, I hand cut it, but it is pretty close. Cut the volume buttons out on the wrong side. Got mad, so did a pretty crap job of cutting them out on the correct side. oops. All I know is that this sucker would probably stick to a block of ice. And for the first time this phone isn't hurting my pinkie when I am holding it.

Good work, although I don't like cases as they generally make the phone look worse, this makes the phone look much worse, but probably MUCH gripper.

What's this, the skin?

LOL what the...
It's actually a good idea in terms of protection without adding size but it's too ugly for me. Still, always good to see people thinking outside the box.

It really doesn't look that bad. The pics were taken with a 13w daylight sitting a couple of feet away using a six hundred dollar point and shoot. Which exaggerates how much it stands out. I'd put it up there with the gaudiness of carbon fiber or that new dragonskin stuff dbrand is pushing. Meaning I totally get where you are coming from. When I see people putting those gaudy skins on their phone, I wonder why they are compelled to buy it. Especially when they do nothing for the grip.
This though... I think you would be surprised. It gives massive confidence without adding any bulk.

Check this out!!!! Maybe what you where looking for?

That's pretty neat. Car seat fabric. Should do decent job for grip. But that one doesn't cover the sides. Hmm. Makes me want to go to Upholstery fabric shop and brainstorm.

A good effort on a difficult task.
I've been using the custom skins from dbrand (https://dbrand.com/) on my last two phones and now on the Pixel XL. These skins are precise beyond belief, so the challenge is installing it on your phone. The adhesive does allow "peel up and retry", so mostly it's just patience that's needed.
The quality is excellent and they have wide range of materials and colors to choose from. I've order black carbon fiber for my Pixel XL ($9.99) and will post a pic once its installed.

That's just it though. They don't have a wide range of materials. It's all the same thing. Vinyl sheets cut out with a laser cutter. They are all slick, and none of them are anywhere near in the same ball park as this.
Post your pics if you want. Seen em all before. Used em all too. Dbrand is a hype machine. Form over function.
