Idk how many of you have had a previous android phone, but when the nexus one came out and it included a small case that came with the phone (similar to what comes with the Palm Pre) I remember everybody wanted one for their phone. Does anybody know of one for the thunderbolt? Personally I would love a smaller version of what comes with the HTC flyer.

I don't think they were case, but sleeves. not totally sure though
It was a sleeve with the android guy on it but no it wont fit. i bought the nexus android sleeve for my incredible and when i got the thunderbolt unfortunately it doesn't fit. sorry to burst you bubble.
Tried to find a similar thing for tbolt as I used to use the pouch all the time with my incredible. There is an ebay dude who makes knock off versions that do fit the tbolt. They're only a few bucks, but are definitely of knock off quality too. The material is cheaper and less 'snug fitting' than the nexus one pouch. But if you absolutely need a pouch...
Yes it will fit. Less than a quarter inch sticks out the top, the entire screen is covered. Just shove it in there.
sleeve
What is a cover worth that you can't easily access your phone. If i have to fight with a sleeve just to remove your phone it's a waste.

Has anyone found an armband for the vibrant yet? I am thinking about giving this one a run but i'm not sure yet
http://bit.ly/aFqcFy
It won't be a snug fit as the Vibrant is so thin, but it'll definitely fit. Looks nice, considering getting one for myself (wonder if there is velcro or a zipper to ensure it doesn't fall out, I hate it when they only show one angle...)
Edit:
There's an iPhone one on Amazon with the exact same dimensions, bet it's the same thing, and free shipping. http://www.amazon.com/iArmbands-iPh...3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1279489127&sr=1-3
Will keep looking later, the dimensions of the Vibrant are pretty much exactly that of an iPhone 3GS, so anything for it should fit just fine. Might stop by Walmart and see if they've got anything. (Might need to cut out a headphone jack though as it looks like the Vibrant's is slightly shifted in)
Edit2: Ended up buying this at Target. It's a really tight fit, and there's no space for the USB plug without cutting the case, but I won't be needing it there anyway. I wouldn't recommend it as the 4 touch buttons at the bottom don't fit in very well, but it'll work for me.
Thanks I'm swinging by target tomorrow to check it out
I appreciate the work!

I got the Belkin one at Target. It was tight at first, but now it works really well.
I bought a runners club like band( cant remeber the name) from KMart. It was like ten bucks. I found ot in the phone section. Cool thing is i can use the part you put the phone in as a belt pouch without the armband
Ten bucks at kmart... Can't beat that

Can you enlight me about this cases. What is so great about innocases?
Features, quality?
Looks good (judging based off of the Innocase for the Nexus One).
How might this case be better than say a TPU/Epik style case? Just curious.
These are the only cases I know of that you can also use with a holster.when I had it for my nexus there was also a option to upgrade to "rugged"which was perfect for me because I was doing construction.

Pics or fail
I hope it's a slider style case and not a snap on. If it's like this one, I'll probably get it.

I second that! I usually use a holster with my phone and this case looks sweet. Otterbox won't be coming out with a defender case for our phone so I think this is perfect! I'm gonna us this for the daily and the TPU case when I need to go light
Nice. This is the kind of case I was looking for. It reminds me a bit of the Agent 18 cases for the iPhone (but slightly higher quality, it looks like).
Has anyone used these cases before on other phones? It looks like it has some rubberized material on the outside? Does it attract lint and dust? The official Gel case (which has now become slightly stretched and useless) continues to pick up every annoying piece of debris. I've given up and gone bare until something better (like this case) comes along.
Do a search for "innocase surface" on YouTube and you'll see a lot of reviews. They describe a slightly rubberized feel to the case, but apparently it isn't tacky and doesn't attract dust or lint.
Yes it is 2 pieces and it slides together. Its had that nice slightly rubberized feel to it but not too muck to their point it grips too much

Sold, sold, sold. I want this thing!
Do they typically sell these at T-Mo corporate stores? Or do you guys just get them online usually?
Great holster
I'm a big fan of the Seidio holsters. I've had one for my last few Blackberries. I tried several different holsters but I was traveling a lot and working in ceilings and not one of them lasted more than a month. The clip would inevitably break off. It happened once and I didn't notice until later. I had to spend over an hour looking for my phone that was on vibrate!
I chose the Seidio because it looked rugged. It never failed no matter how much I abused it. Now that I have an MT4G I'm really looking forward to getting one of their holsters for it. I've never used the Innocase, but I hightly recommend the holster. It's built very tough without looking like it. I don't see they have one listed yet for use without the case, but I'm hoping they'll make one.

Really, I bought a Otterbox Commuter for my Captivate and hated it and returned it the next day. The hard plastic looked cheap and the rubber was a lint magnet. I don't have experience with Seido cases but I bought a holster for my wife's iPhone4 and it's great.
Had an Innocase on my BB 8900 and It was good for the most part. It was one of the slide up ones. But It DID scratch the chrome part on the phone.
I did drop it multiple times on the floor and nothing happened the phone. BUT, one day it dropped about 3 feet down to concrete and the case cracked and wouldn't hold the phone well like it did before.
IT did fall on concrete almost that high before and nothing until that one day.
Also sliding the case off a couple of times messed up its sturdiness. Sturdiness as in, when I'd slide it up it stay on. after a while it wouldn't stay on well.
On my N1 I bought an Otterbox case and it was the best case I had. Even though it attracted lint and was hard to take off sometimes, I wouldn't buy any other case !
EDIT: got a battery from them for my N1. The thickness made me get rid of it. Come to find out the stock battery lasted way longer.
I thought the Innocase II is the one that was 2 pcs and snaps together.

Hmm, well I saw a weaved fabric case actually fitted to an iphone 3g. I really liked it but I don't recall any more specific information. I will have my friend pull it off and post a link.
Thanks
My fiancee wants one of these, 'cause she keeps her phone in her purse. She's using a camera pouch right now and really *anything that would fit an iPhone, camera, etc. should work for the MT4G.
I love the G1 case so much because the little side opening is perfect to put a charger in while its in the pouch

I recently purchased a similar case to the g1 pouch and love it. It has an HTC tab instead of G1 and from what I understand is more padded also. Mine is pleather though and was around $23 vs the $8 dollar G1 pouch but was worth it IMO.
I can't post links but the PO is:HTC S491

Oddly, it's not a slide-on but rather a snap-on. I think this is a good thing, however, because for both of my previous phones the slide case became loose. This snap-on will probably fare better.

And? Did they?
I ordered a black one today. I'm a little skeptical over the snap-on design because of how happy I've been with the Surface on my last 2 phones (Eris and TBolt), which were both the slide-on type. The case options are pretty limited for a phone with this much hype but I'm sure the Surface will deliver as it has in the past.
I just ordered this case with the holster and I have the extended battery so I'll let you know on Thursday whether they are compatable. If not, I'll probably return the battery, as I love Seidio's cases. I used the surface case on my OG Droid for the past two years, and while I had to replace the holster once due to the spring breaking it otherwise did a great job and protected my phone from a drop onto pavement as well as regular wear and tear. It would be nice to know before thursday though if the extended battery will work with the Seidio case. 250mah for a negligible increase in thickness is really great. I think the phone should have shipped with this battery by default.
It's not a slide on because of the curvature and the hump on the back.
Just like the Nexus S, I had the Seidio Surface. It's the same way.
It's two pieces sliced sideways.
One is the rear part, one is the front part.
I personally do not like this version. You can feel it creak and move around as you hold the phone because of how it holds/stay on the phone.
I just bought the rocket fish case from best buy today and I have an extended battery. Fit is tight but it fits, I would strongly recommend this case.

So do you have this case for the gnex yet or are you referring to the nexus s version that creaks? I had the surface for my Droid incredible and loved it so I am very interested in the version for the gnex. If you have the case would you mind posting pics? Thanks.

I had it on my Nexus S. I will not be buying this for my Galaxy Nexus unfortunately.
The way it goes on is like a sandwich, the phone is the meat, and the bread is the case that goes on top/bottom of the phone and latches on in itself.
This is something what the Seidio Galaxy Nexus is like: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...d-Case-Black-Phone-Cover-Screen-/380395449922
Snaps on front/back.
I'll have to find some other case with a face in holster.
This one is looking good, though it doesn't protect the top/bottom of the phone.

Seidio say no-go on extended battery...
Hi, all..
Just got off the fone with Seidio Customer Support (outstanding CS, BTW). Seidio says no-go on the VZW extended battery w/ Surface case.
The CS agent sounded quite knowledgeable, but I will await reports from you brave souls that have ordered it. The VZW extended battery really doesn't add that much bulk to the back of the device, but tight tolerances make for a better fit....IMHO..
She further stated that she will forward this to the development folks. I assured her that their will be a demand...
Cheers...
Sk..
Has anyone received their case yet? I ordered mine on Friday, got an email saying it shipped via USPS on Monday but USPS says only the electronic billing slip was received.
Edit: Looks like the Black Surface case is on backorder now too...
Is there a lip around the screen from the case? I'd like a close-to-flush feel on the front.
No Go. No Verizon Extended Battery support.
Ringke's Slim model denied me also.
Call me old fashioned, but I really liked the sleeve that came with my Nexus One and I would love to have a similar one for my Nexus 5. Any suggestions? I previously used this one from built on my Galaxy Nexus, but it was a little small.
And of course, if it was awesome enough to have the little Android on it ... that would be badass
I used the supplied neoprene pouch all the time i used my N1 too. After two years both were still pristine! When i got my SGS2 i bought a neoprene pouch for it from Ebay.
If you can find one that fits a SGS4, it'll probably fit the N5 okay. Like this one:

Haha I used these pouches on all of my phones. They are brilliant. I've never had a need for a case thanks to these. Search for android neoprene on ebay and you'll find some. A year or so ago, I got them for about $2-3 USD but now the prices have gone up to about $4-5USD. Still good lil pouches.
Here's one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Android-Neo...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item3f2b5ae2ce
Loved my nexus 1 pouch so much.. Used it for a while..until it became unusable. Elegant and it perfectly fit the device.
I loved it so much that for every phone I had after I purchased one from eBay.
The sellers tend to send the wrong size very often.
The problem is that, contrary to the original pouch, the eBay ones are very very very stiff... Definitely a different material. The original was softer and the phone would come in and out easily.
I will probably buy one again just to have but the feeling is different.
Glad someone was in love like me...
Ps all the alternative pouches you listed just don't compare!

Yea that's so true. The one I listed above has the Android logo but the material definitely isn't the same as the one that came with the Nexus One. It'd be neat if Google included these or sold them. Surely they wouldn't be expensive to manufacture.
I still have the original Nexus One pouch, new unused in the box with the phone (phone is definitely used lol)
