I ordered this on Feb 12 and got it today Feb 16, would of probably been faster if it wasn't for the weekend and Presidents day.
Unlike my first of the same color with checkered marks, this one is clear and smoke colored, Fitment is fine, putting it on for the first time was a tight fit but it will give you the peace of mind that once its ON, its ON forever and this sucker isnt going anywhere. Fitment is perfect and all holes line up. What I like most about this is that it extends over the Camera lens unlike the previous one in which there was no protection at all.
I like it and will be ordering from these guys in the future.
www.googlenexusoneaccessories.com for $12.99, price might be a little high but I am very satisfied.
Not a bad price for a perfect fit & good protection!
Is this actually a crystal case? if so then I think it's a little too steep on the price.
But it does have an acrylic / rubbery look to it compared to a normal crystal case, but then again, also the pictures are quite blurry.

No its not a crystal case. Its a silicon resin case thats somewhat elastic. Yeah those pics are blurry but thats the best I can do for now since I used my G1 to take the shots.

Didn't see a "resin" case on the site. Is it the "candy skin case?"

Just looked at the invoice and its listed as :
NEXUS ONE CANDY SKIN CASE - TRANSPARENT SMOKE
you will not regret buying this.
How does the feel of the case compare to the Checkered/Argyle smoke case? That's the case I have right now, and I would definitely be interested in upgrading if the material feels the same.
Ordered yesterday and awaiting ship notification.
Does this still work if you put it in the dock?
Just ordered. Waiting for shipping conf. I got the clear candy one. I like the look of the N1 so if I can show it off as much as possible great.
I am getting this mostly for the grip and feel. Though it is nice it will protect it.

This one has a more sturdier feel to it, but its just as flexible.

No it will not work on a dock, if you have no plans of using a dock then this is the way to do. I dont think that there are any cases out there that will work with the Nexus dock.
Would the case block the camera lens?
The case does not block the camera lens. There is a small opening over the center of the glass lens so while the lens is protected from most scratches I haven't seen any effect on pictures (thought I haven't taken many). One thing i noticed though is that the small opening seems to attract dust which is hard to wipe off. A can of compressed air solves that problem though.
Think I might just order this one, using the checkered case right now and would love the cover for the camera lens.
BTW, there's a 15% off coupon for this website. Just use the code "nexus15". (w/o quotes).
Makes the total $11.04.
Is this better then the crystal cases?
How much thickness does this add to the phone? I am interested in some protection for my nexus, but don't want to double its thickness like many of the rubber cases do.
Just received the case. Here are the goods:
Fits perfectly
Protects the camera without ruining pictures
Flexible rubbery plastic provides good protection
And the bad:
Couldn't get it to fit properly with my phantomskinz
Harder to get the charger to plug in (inserted at slight angle)
Overall it's very good. It'll protect against most falls but you'll still need a screen protector. It fit over my phantomskinz snuggly but the skin and the case kept rubbing and sticking together making it difficult to install properly (some of the alignment was off) so I opted to remove the back parts of my skin - now it fits perfectly.
-And the bad:
---Harder to get the charger to plug in (inserted at slight angle)
I can confirm this. Nothing a little exacto work couldn't fix though
It looks so good, does it fit to the phone?
I dropped my first DVP and am awaiting an replacement...(the screen shattered)...
so I am paranoid of this happening again and I would like a case which protects the screen pretty well (in one way or another) and I have had trouble finding any cases except 1 or two types and leather pouches or holsters...
I don't believe a screen protector would protect it against cracks very well...
any options?
I haven't seen any bumpers or other common phone accessories for the DVP (I don't think we even have official car chargers yet). I feel like this phones lack of popularity (adoption by major carriers) and portrait-slider form factor is going to continue hurting our accessory selection.
I think your only real choice for drop protection is the Otterbox.
what about those pdair cases:

or monoco cases:
http://cgi.ebay.com/MONACO-ALUMINUM...060730?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5d2e23dcba
IDK...I noticed some of them are the type where they have a type of latch on one side (so they basically open up like a book kind of)... I dont know if that would be a pro or con since I have never used such a case..
edit:
I think the 'monoco' case is the same thing as one of the pdair's above...
I like my otterbox from dell. It protects the edges where the gorrilla glass is the most vulnerable. Plus I find that the silicon buttons for volume and camera are much more tactile when using compared to the standard button. IT does add some bulk but it reall covers almost everything you can think of.

Is there a way to use a Dell Venue case?... maybe get two silicone / tpu type (or any actually) cases for a dell venue, maybe cut each half way down the side giving one slack on one side and the other slack on the other to make two pieces -one for your screen and the other for the back / keyboard section... ? idk just a quick idea haha

does it at a lot of bulk? like do you have any phone you can compare it to (size wise) when it has the case on ? (i.e. it is about the thickness of a g1.. or something along those lines...)
I am still worried about the screen somewhat, the piece that covers the screen -does it have any silicone type backing? I think I saw one of those pdair cases or something which had a silicone backed front plate (if that is what you would call it? lol)
anyone got any insight?
hey, i bought the dell venue pro otterbox, let me tell u whats cool about it other than the fact that it has a dell logo in the back..after putting it on the phone...the phone now feels like military tank...feels great..and looks safe....but there might be a few issues....first of all...if u manage to drop ur tank, the front cover just hits the ground comes off and flies away...so the screen is still exposed after the first hit..and other problem i noticed was that the beautiful design behind the screen (once u slide it up) is getting a little abraded.
thats about it....
on the whole a good case, i'd say..
When I bought my Venue, it came with an Otterbox. The otterbox had an Invisible Shield screen protector that came with the package (silicon, hard shell), and the phone, while being a bit more bulky, is protected from almost everything now. The only problem is that the otterboxes are a pain to get off when you put it on.
Is there a silicone skin that can be used on the DVP? I just want something that will protect the back half. Also, ideally, would like to see something that's not so slick. ... Something that won't slide around in the car ifI hit the brakes a bit too hard.

Mine fell quite a distance the other day. Got to say, the Otterbox works
I currently own the S5 G900F with the Official S-View Cover, due to the case becoming unpleasantly dirty (White to black) and the realization that the phone might not last me very long with this level of protection, Im in the search for a new case.
I need this case to be a bull coverage case, which means that it will have to have a inbuilt screen protector, for I can not apply one to save my life. It must also be as compact as possible, while offering great levels of protection, as I have small hands.
Cases I have been looking at are the Otterbox Defender Series (S5), and the i-Blason ArmourBox
OtterBox - My concerns about this case, is the 'Echo' that certain members of the community suffer, although someone has 'found a cure' for this, which is to find and peel away hidden stickers inside the case, I am not sure, as I have only heard of it once. This is a very popular case and seams to offer the most protection. It also adds quite some size to the phone, which may become annoying.
i-Blason - This is not a very popular case, but seams to be thinner and smaller than the OtterBox. It is cheaper, but price does not really matter as both cases are competitively price in the UK. It seams to offer good protection.
One of my biggest worries with both cases is the functionality of the FingerPrint Unlock, this is something I use and take pride of on my mobile, and would hate to have to use it, would these cases allow for the use?
Secondly, the inbuilt screen protectors, is there any 'give' as in, does it feel like you are not touching the screen?
Any opinions and suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Here's what I use and recommend: Galaxy S5 Case, S5 Case, New Trent Trentius [Heavy Duty] It feels good in the hand, has it's own screen protector and 3 colored backplates. I also use a tempered glass protector under it. They are not like film screen protectors, very easy to put on with no mistakes.
Thanks for the reply, that is very interesting, just a few questions...
Does it suffer from the 'echo' like other cases?
Is the screen protector 'tight to the glass'
Sound volume? Is it reduced?
Also I have tried tempered glass ones too, still cant apply straight

No echo that I've ever noticed. To be fair though, I'm on a custom rom that allows me to increase the stock volume level. The extra screen protector just gives it a nice tight feel. No problems at all with touchscreen.
I watched a review and have to ask, how are al,l the holes aligned up? And by this I mean the homebutton cutout, LED and camera cutout etc

Why not a lifeproof fre? Waterproof, dust and shockproof..i live by them..been on my s3,s4 and now s5. The warranty is key too....

The Trent case is an awesome case especially since you can switch it up with the different back pieces but if you want a waterproof case then Lifeproof all day.
I've opted for the Lifeproof case with the screen protector; no real problems on this end. The case also works well with the Qi wireless charging kit.
I use the UAG Cover. Works really good for me. Dropped it round about 5-6Times....no damage
I have the screen protective film on my S5 (from the dealer) but when it gets scratched up, I won't replace it. I recommend the Spigen tough Armor case. Great protection and what I like the best is that the buttons don't stick out beyond the cover. I have had problems accidentally pressing the buttons while the phone was in my pocket. I always carry the phone in my pocket and the Spigen eliminates that problem. The relatively slick back cover makes it easy to get out of my pocket. The four corners on the back side are slightly raised to protect the camera lens and prevent scratches on the cover if the phone is dropped.
AND, no, I have no relationship with Spigen. Just credit given where credit is due.
Edit - the slightly raised corners are on the back side.

Best case ever!! Hands down!!! :good:
before i bought my zerolemon 8500, i used an otterbox defender.
Looks like a good protective case but it is big and ugly. Sorry. I'll keep my Spigen Tough Armor case.
I bought the clear case. TMobile sells them. Compared to other minimal cases i have had in the past (and one other Amazon case for the note7) it seems better. It hugs the curves ans shape of the device perfectly, and the holes line up EXACTLY which often isn't the 'case' for 3rd party cases. It's also very thin and light and on my silver note7 it's hardly noticeable.

its $20ish. Will post pictures when I can figure out how to do so as I sold my Note5 already!!. Its a very soft TPU case.
I have been looking for photos, videos and reviews of this case too but they seem non existent so far. Whatever info you can post would be great.
I've been into slim clear cases for a long time. I'd like to appreciate the body down to its finest lines and curves, caressing its smooth texture, feeling the little tips and points where they sprout along the edges, admiring the beauty that is gleaming in front of me, wanting to grab........ok well you get the point. I risked my phones going naked for these reasons for a long time, but alas, the Note 7 might require a case from me.
Anyways, I would search high and low for thin slim clear cases that would
1) wont produce so much fingerprint smear
2) smooth as buttah
3) wont stick to the glass backing and create a rainbow effect
4) doesnt have sharp lips
5) its flush against the edges.
Now yes, it does attract fingerprints but less so since its soft TPU and I've come to accept the annoyance that comes with using clear cases that its inevitable. Aside from that it meets the rest of my requirements. Not all soft TPU cases are alike. This particular O.E.M clear case feels good in the hands. Soft, smooth (almost like hard plastic), and at times grippy. I unfortunately do not have pictures to show but may post them later. If you are highly interested, I suggest stopping by your local t-mobile store to try it on first. If you like it buy it, if not keep searching. Good luck! :good:
I ordered this case and and I really like it but I'm a fan of slim/minimalistic cases that showcase the design of phones. The material is a soft rubber(?) not a hard shell. It's clear so it does show a lot of fingerprints but it fits the phone perfectly. The case feels tacky/grippy so the phone feels extra secure when you're holding it.

A similarly thin spigen is only $10 bucks.

Thanks for the pictures. I like it.
Got this one as well. Got the Note 7 starter pack from Samsung which contained
TPU case clear
2 pcs screen protector
1 pc tilted wireless charger
Pros: tpu case is very minimal in when it comes to thickness so thats a plus.
Con: it doesnt have raised edges. So if you placed your phone upside down, the screen itself would be touching the table. And worse, if you drop it face down, the screen would take much of the impact
Screen protector:
Pro: its a curved platic screen protector so it wraps on the edges
Con: its thicker than your usual screen protector. Almost as thick as those invisashield ones. The more important negative on this, since it wraps around the whole screen even the edges. When i bought a Spigen Liquid Crystal case (for raised edges). When i slipped it on, it peels the side of the screen protector.
Tilted wireless charger is a tilted wireless charger. Nothing to comment except that it takes getting used to. Its just easier to charge with the flat version when it comes to just dropping your phone. Tilted one requires a little more alignment

Hello guys, so i've bought some cases from Aliexpress and i wanted to share with you my impressions, the price range was 1.6$-4.5$ and there are pretty good and cheap.
There are also some brands that have the same cases but they just include their name on the package and for an expensive price, but the case is the same.
All of the are screen protector friendly, glass or film.
The Full black one is my favourite, not too bulky, not too thin, just perfect, grippy at the sides, the buttons are clicky and when you have your phone on hands you know where they are, there is a litttle lip that come for th sscreen and if you are using a glass protector then you'll still have like 0.3mm so when you have your phone on the table the screen is still safe, camera also is protected, and the texture at the back has that brushed metal feeling when you touch it, veeeery nice.
The Black one with clear back is good, makes the phone just a liiiitle bit bulky, but èit's nice if you want protection + you can see the back of your phone, has a nice way to bring your finger to the scanner, the lip is like the black one, and when the phone is on the table for exemple if you play, it is stable as it's not round on the side, it's like a rectangle at the back, but the buttons as you can see are aligned with the case, means you don't really know where they are, specially the volume one, butstill a very good case.
The clear ones are thin, they just cover the phone and at the screen if you are using a glass protector they will be at they same level so no lip there, buttons are good, but i don't use it that much because i feel that the screen is not very well protected , but it doesn't make the phone bulky at all and if you like to see the back of your phone you can go for it.
I personally use the full black one as it doesnt make it bulky, touch feeling is very nice, grippy, buttons are there, protect the camera and in the inside it's very soft so it wont scratch the phone is case there is some sand or pocket dirt.
That's it, hope you like my review

Alway been funny to me how much this goes on in China. It's like there's one company making cases and 100 reselling them, or someone designs a case and the factory sells unbranded versions out the back door, or there are factories copying every case design on the market. Probably a little of all of it. :silly:
I liked this all black, it is similar to spigen but much cheaper, but does it offer the same protection?
I bought the first one.
Everything like you said but you forgot to say one minus ..fingerprint magnet.
otherwise it's a good case.

Ahh yep true, the firstone is a fingerprint magnet 1s you said, but i 1dvice everyone to buy it or buy the black one it's a veryyy nice case, when i saw the pictures i didnt think it would be that good, i was waiting for a cheap quality , with bad finish case because it was cheap
