Body Glove Cases.

Any Idea's of where to find them? i had one with my G1 and loved it.

same i want one but body glove dont make it yet.. hopefully they do soon

Best cases out there are the naked cases by case mate don't know if they plan to make one for nexus or not sure hope so. Hate not having any protection at all!

I had a body glove case for my MyTouch and it broke within about 4 days. Was really disappointed I paid $20 for that thing =\

Any hardcore protection case would be nice at this point. This slide in case that came with the phone just ain't cutting it.

^agree, I need a metal case to protect this work of Art!

If your MyTouch went unscathed from whatever broke teh body glove case then you should not be dissapointed as you did not break the phone. While it should not be a one-time thing, the case may have protected the phone as intended.

The part that latches on to the belt ripped, wasn't from a drop or anything like that.

Great looking Case! - but it's only a tease for now
I came across this site that makes some really *SLICK* cases for the ....other phone....
too bad, but maybe when N1 hits a few million sold, they will do a similar design for the N1.

Yeah those are very nice. However, they appear to be hardcore Apple. But maybe if they got enough Email requesting they would consider?

That case is soooo perfect I want one so bad.. I sent them a message via contact us telling them they should make one for the nexus one and I also sent them a link to this thread everyone that would like one should definitely send them a message

I ain't going to lie. i've went through two body glove cases on my G1 and both broke the same way. The little plastic clips the held the case to my phone snapped off after time. As far as protection goes the case did a good job quite well and body glove has proven to me that they are good phone protectors. They just need to get better in other little areas.

Usable armband?

Could anyone suggest subject?

Friend of mine ordered the smaller version of the tunebelt and he's ecstatic over it. He's been through a couple too.

My wife loves her tunebelt, not too expensive on amazon either.

Thanks for reply guys!
I was looking at the same model.
AlgorithmX, because you have it, could you comment on quality and usability. I need this thing mostly for sports. It's kind of difficult to judge on picture. Does touch still works through that plastic? How it holds moisture? And how good is velcro?

I posted in the Vibrant and i9000 forums, but I got the larger version of the Tune Belt. It fits with my phone still inside it's TPU case which is what I was looking for. I think the smaller version would be too tight if you want to keep it in your case.
If you have above average sized biceps, you will need the extension as the band is one of the shorter ones I've seen, but luckily the extension is very cheap and works well.
Here are some pics.

Thanks for good pictures!
No hole for a headphones cord?
And how do I know what is bigger/smaller version? I have only thin silicone on my phone and do not want to take it off every time.

The headphone cord comes out of the flap at the top. I can take a picture later, but it's the same open you slide the phone into, so there's plenty of room.
The model numbers tell you if it's the smaller one or larger one. As you can see in my pics, my phone has a TPU case on it and fits very well inside the armband.
AB82 = Smaller
AB83 = Larger

Finally got my paws on it and used it for a while.
IMHO, this armband is useless for sports. It is like a sponge!
I got bigger version and it fits the phone in the silicon case. However seams inside do not allow plastic to touch the screen, so it's pretty difficult to control phone on the run.

I'm assuming you're talking about the TuneBelt right? If so, it's neoprene. While it may "retain" sweat/moisture, it shouldn't absorb it, neoprene is basically sweat proof. It "retains" some of it temporarily, because the material is breathable (which you definitely want) I have the smaller ab82 that I used with my Touch Pro, and I can tell you from using it at the gym a bunch, if you check it a few hours later, it should be bone dry again as the sweat evaporates out of it, doesn't leave it gross or smelly, etc. Wetsuits are made out of the same material for this sorta reason.
As for the seams on the screen.. ya it looked that way in the pictures above. Still, looks to be the only good solution out currently for phones as big as ours.

Glossy plastic needs to die already!

My god, who made the design choices in smartphones these days? has no one told manufacturers that glossy plastic looks cheap? whats wrong with matte? The nexus s, galaxy s, samsung lte , atrix 4g all look like toys :/ , the xperia arc designed is kinda ruined by that cheap back cover, it even has "sparkles" , i think samsung REALLY got it right with the infuse 4g , i hope they stick to that design for the galaxy s II , the droid bionic back is kinda nice too, what do you think guys do your like your gadgets glossy?

Couldn't agree more! Glossy, fingerprint magnet plastic needs to go.
The Nexus S has a nice form to it and i like that it's all black...but why does it have to be glossy?

The Samsung Omnia 7 uses metal, even though it is probably heavier than the Focus, it looks and probably feels nicer.
Yes, that is one of my pet peeve with smartphones and I refuse to use cases. I like the finish that HTC uses on their smartphone. I prefer metal over plastic despite the extra weight.

To think, a phone released back in late 2009 (the HD2) really paved the way for this. Though you have to consider cost as a factor as well. Having matte/rubber finish and whatnot will undoubtedly cost more than just a plastic cover.

metal is pretty unrealistic, very few phones use it, it be content with a back cover like the one i posted -infuse 4g-

I am content with the back of Dell Venue Pro. Can't get a fingerprint on it.
Pretty sure companies use glossy plastic because people like shiny stuff. The cheap feeling just throws me off.

Gelaskin for Nexus 4

Hey all
Seems like everyone is really hyped about the dBrand skin for nexus 4 :good: well I also remember another really good brand I had back then on my iphone 4, called Gelaskin :laugh:
If you want something with a pretty design rather than a texture, Gelaskin is perfect. I've had it before
http://www.gelaskins.com/store/phones/LG_Nexus_4
it's has a dull-glossy finish.. idk how to describe it but it feels glossy but it doesn't reflect much like a glass lol :laugh: it's made of 3M, super durable, can be reapplied if you mess it up. best part? it's reusable! (yes, but for a limited time, probably less than 20 times or more depend on how you use it) incase you don't want it on your phone for some reason, you can always take it off and stick it on the adhesive that it came with
really should try it out guys! :victory:

I suspect a big draw for a lot of us in going with dbrand is due to the precision cut Nexus logo cutouts. A lot of us want our Nexus devices to stand out and be identifiable by name among a sea of Galaxies and iPhones!

yes the cuts are very precise. I will not comment on how it is compare to dbrand since i never had one, but Gelasin was very precise on my iphone 4 with the buttons and the ports

Pretty cool. While it's not for me, I'm sure there's some that would love this.
So thanks for letting us know!

It's not a bad concept actually, especially with the matching wallpaper. But I do prefer dbrand for my nexus 4

thanks for the share
They look really good, you can make custom ones, might make a xylon rom themed one

[Q] Help with UAG Casing

Hey guys I recently bought a UAG casing for my S5 online, and I realized that it doesn't really fit? I'm not sure but it looks like the casing isn't wide enough for the phone or something. Alot of times it feels liek the phone is "popping out" in a bad way, and I can see the gold trim around the phone too.
Do you think I bought a fake one? Cos it's very tough to remove the phone from the casing too and I can hear the creaks and feels like the phone is gonna bend or something!

It depends on where u bought it online? I have a clear one and right now prefer it over a ballistic case and a spigen slim armor cs case. Fits perfectly, and the phone is secure in it. It can be a little tough removing the case, but I prefer it that way... :good:

Mine fits perfectly in my case. It is a little hard to get out, but that it because it fits so perfectly. You shouldn't see any gaps or even any part of the bezel. I have seen a lot of fake UAG cases where they are, for lack of a better term, "warped" and don't fit snuggly, leaving gaps around the bezel. I would be a little concerned that you got a fake one. Where did you buy it? Also, the pics posted aren't coming up on my end to look at it.
