Hi,
Like a lot of people i'm looking for a thin, leather portfolio case with a kickstand and access to the ports. I'm not sure how i feel about the zoogue, looks bulky. The Kevikev looks like poor quality and the camera seems to be blocked. I know it may get better with time, but i just do not want to worry about hoping for a product to get better.
I checked out the Navitech, but no one has tried it yet.
I saw on eBay there's these Casewise cases that look good. I was wondering if anyone has experience with them or if there's any apparent problems that you can see.

My reservation with this case is the back where it has the little flap where you use it to create the stand. I'm worried after a lot of use it may just stick out all the time.
What do you guys think?

Meh. I have the same issues as you. I just want a nice thin folio style case that will function as a stand too. Not hard.
This one looks to be in the same vein as looks OK but not great. I don't like the hump thing on the back.

Exactly, how hard is it to get a decent thin portfolio case with a stand?
That one looks exactly like kevikev, except for the white stitch and cheap pu leather. I'd buy kevikev before this

They offer several different ones, that look decent and aren't too expensive by any means. Just a heads up, for those of you who are looking for a new case. I'm probably going to order the fake leather one and the 'magnet gray' one as well.

I love how you linked the site while OP disguised his link
The leather one look cheap and tacky to me. These cases are nice but they don't seem to cover enough of the phone for me.
They look like the cheap (construction-wise) snap on cases. For $30, just get the Seidio Innocase. It's way better in my opinion.
Seidio Innocase II Surface - Black, Amazon
Black and other colors, Seidio Online
On Amazon I got it a week ago for $20, so maybe check a few times they drop the price every once in a while I think.
i got the same case that incipio made for $10 over at Fry's electronics

I didn't want this to be a comparison thread. I simply wanted to point out there are alternative cases out there on the market.
I'm really glad you pointed these out. I used to have a Barely There case on my old iPhone and these look pretty similar to that (I really liked it). I've been waiting for a case like this! Since Case Mate doesn't make any for the Atrix, I might get one of these. The colors aren't great, but I hate cases that snap together...
Thanks OP. Just ordered the magnet grey one. Will update when it arrives.

I'm ordering the grey one as soon as I get paid friday! I want overnight shipping, I don't care if I have to pay another 10 bucks to receive it, lol.
Yea.... they are quite nice looking. Not sure if i really wanna give up my TPU case though....
When either of you get yours.... mind posting some more pics? Would like to see what the inside of the case looks like, too.

Sure thing. I should have it tomorrow.
Just ordered the grey one, hopefully it arrives on Monday!
So can someone explain what exactly this case feels like? I don't REALLY get what a "rubberized satin finish" means... In the past I've used the case-mate barely there cases, which I like because they're not squishy or really rubbery and such. This pure gear case looks solid, but it says it's rubberized so I dunno.
And while I'm asking, what exactly is a TPU case (like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Amzer-Argyle-High-Gloss-Soft-Gel-Motorola/dp/B004L2L6JM/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1304100403&sr=8-6)
Is it similar to the pure gear material?

Just got mine. First impression is this thing is nice! One of the thinnest cases/shells I've ever seen. Just went into our QA dept to use a caliper and it only measures .86mm or .034" thick. The texture feels almost exactly like my old G1 did. Doesn't feel like it's going to be a lint magnet either. The grey color is a bit lighter than I was expecting too but not too light. It fits OVER the existing battery cover and fits nice and snug. No give in any direction at all. Overall I like it it so far.
I'll post pictures tonight when I get home.

TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is basically like a mix of a hard shell and a silicon cover. It's quite flexible, although not flimsy like a silicon cover.... and it's durable.... able to withstand quite a bit and still return to it's original shape. Actually recorded a video of me squeezing the crap out of one such TPU case that i got on eBay because of someone in another thread questioning the quality of the eBay cases.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=700ZNRtNEOA
As for "rubberized satin".... i believe it's basically a quite smooth yet soft feel.... not like a silicon, but not quite like a hard rubber case either. Hard to explain, really. If i had to guess, i'd say it might be similar to the Barely There case, but i'm not sure as i've never used either.
Here's some glamor shots of mine.
Hmm.... not too shabby looking. I may just order one.
edit: Just ordered the deep plum colored one. Only did ground shipping, as i didn't really feel like paying the same amount for shipping as i did for the case.... so it may be a little while.
Thanks for all the info guys! I always wondered what all these different types of plastic cases are. Thanks for the pics too, they inspire me to order one! Has anyone gotten the blue? How does it look in real life?

Thanks for providing the link.
Anyone know a nice simple kickstand we can use for the Kindle Fire? I bought a leather case from Amazon for $25, but haven't grown much into liking the bulkiness it adds :/
This is the case I bought btw: (http://www.amazon.com/splash-SIGNAT...FSOQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323321993&sr=8-1)
Please tell me someone knows of a nice kickstand? I may even trade the case for it if interested.
My thoughts exactly, I purchased a Case-Mate for my Epic 4G Touch solely because it has a kickstand
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=08APJ1G512C5J00EFZHP
So I was looking for a case for the Kindle Fire that has a kickstand and decided to buy this
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00656XUGY/ref=oh_o00_s01_i01_details
Landscape and portrait, I hope I don't think it's too bulky like you feel your case is, although they do look very similar
Elephant, do you have that white case?
//Tapatalk.KindleFire//
I don't have this, but it seems to be a much thinner option with a kickstand...http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Kindle...4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1323327074&sr=1-4 not sure if its what you had in mind.
Or a more literal answer to your question of "Just a kickstand" http://www.amazon.com/Compatible-kickStand-computer-aluminum-reinforced/dp/B005VCIARW/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1323327232&sr=1-1-catcorr Which is literally just a kickstand, seems impractical though.
That last pic you posted of the white stand is probably closest to what I have in mind, but it's ugly and bulky as hell! lol
If I could find something that looked just like an L and was lightweight and thin, I would be in heaven.

Cool, please report back. I want a portrait kickstand pretty badly.

Maybe you can convince them to make a bit larger version of this?

But no.. in all seriousness I haven't seen any great solutions for what you are describing yet. I'll be interested to see what people come up with, though.
LOL, if that works, that'd be awesome

Got that one, its thin enough to fit in my front pocket and its very slick. Don't even notice it at all. GL on the stand though.
Hey,
So I am looking for a thin type of silicon case (I have seen many out there), but I am trying to find one that is specifically made to be ultra-grippy. I have tried a few cases in Verizon's retail location and they feel sort of slick and not that much more grippy compared to the phone itself. Does anyone have any suggestions on something that sounds like what I am talking about?
To be clear: I am not looking for a hard case, something soft and light that doesn't add a lot of thickness to the phone, but still has that grip advantage.
Thanks!

Check the sticky in this forum. Has all case reviews and suggestions.

Does anyone want to jump the gun and try these case out? It doesn't specify that it will fit the extended battery.
Oooo I kinda like it. But I probably would never use it and I need to slow down with all the cases im buying...Im up to 4 now...

I have that case for my GSII. I'm guessing it won't work because it fits pretty close to the phone at least for me. I could be wrong though. I am planning on getting the one that looks like a controller at some point and I'll let you guys know as I have ordered the Nexus and the extended battery.
Keep us updated
I like the Audio Cassette tape one linked at the bottom. lol.
No way am I giving up my Ringke Slim after finally getting one for the LTE Extended battery.
If it was a TPU case I would definitely get it. I love the material on the Cruzer Lite cases.

Again, I am only speaking on behalf of my GSII which I just sold, but, it didn't feel like it gave me drop protection when I had this case on. If that's the reason you have a case you might want to look elsewhere. It didn't even cover the front chrome completely.
Edit: Although, everyone loved it! People would actually call my phone my gameboy and it was a great conversation piece. Probably the only case I've had on an Android that people with iPhones were jealous of.
I wonder if that would fit the LTE version as well?
This skin seems pretty cool actually

Holy **** I've been looking for a gameboy case! Good find
IMO it looks weird maybe if they stretched it on the whole case idunno
The Cola one looks sweet though
http://www.tvc-mall.com/details/Kol...Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-I9250-I515-MHC-I9250-55/
The biggest problem with these cases is that it looks like it covers the secondary noise cancelling mic. I might do something like this mod with a clear TPU case.
http://www.instructables.com/id/iPhone-Gameboy-casemod/
Can someone review this:

http://www.tvc-mall.com/details/Ult...Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-I9250-I515-MHC-I9250-39/
Seems interesting, i wonder what will be the final product on how these will fit.
Is this site reputable? I would like to order one of these to the UK.
Anyone have any experience with them?
