Came across a deal on cases for the Evo while looking for a Dell Streak case. Thought I would come over and post it, my buddy said its a good case. Didnt do too much research but I think its like a 50 dollar case, anyways $7.95 shipped.
http://www.emtcompany.com/platinum-series-case-for-htc-evo-mobile-phones/1003917.html
heres an old thread with some reviews, thanks to the fancy similar threads thingy:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695792
nice fined mine broke and was about to go get a new one
Thanks for the find good deal I picked up one also.
that scares me a bit
I'll be the guinea pig! I just ordered 2 of them for that price. I figure if they try to screw me I will file a paypal dispute. They also have the platinum innocase with holster for the epic for like 6 bux. If the defender arrives and it's legit I'm probably gonna buy a bunch and distribute them to friends.
Great find..
was going to order one but seen no idea how long shipping is
From the reviews I read shipping doesn't take to long. They are based in California.

The site says its a seidio case but if you go to the seidio website they don't have a platinum series case listed.
"platinum" is indeed a sedio case its just been rebranded for best buy. Check bb site and you'll find it .

Oh OK I did not know that
Anyone have a video review or something of this case? I cant find some decent pics of the case to see how bulky it is. The best buy site has a front view of the case on the phone and it looks really bulky.
I believe its actually the innocase rugged,more reviews found here

Compared to most other sites pricing the op deal is unbeatable

There are a ton of reviews on YouTube. Here is one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgrDNmJwfHA&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I got this case when they first came out and was not satisfied with it at all. The outer skeleton broke for no apparent reason and I ended up having to cut all the port covers off because the silicone was tearing. You can't really go wrong for 8 bucks though. The inner layer is the regular innocase so you can use that on it's own and Seidio's screen protector is definitely the best I have ever used.
The case is quite bulky, but all rugged cases are. I now have a Ballistic case and it adds even more bulk than the Seidio.

unbelievable deal.... i bit on one.
this is clearly a pricing error, but i ordered 10 anyways. expecting a refund any minute now...
edit: maybe not, its on their twitter feed too, and they have other seidio products at that pricing. amazing.
On the bandwagon I go....
If you miss out, DONT WORRY, I'll have them on eBay next week for 3x the price
Just got my tracking # today.

Hey guys!
Any one has any ideas for good Nexus S accessories?
At the moment I only have a set of Mugen Power batteries but I'd like to check some cases probably that will fit the phone with extended battery (+12 mm from original size).
Thanks much!!
Okis
Anyone has any ideas?
I'd say a car mount is required. I got a good universal one off of Amazon for around $15.
I also have a Gelaskins skin and a Casemate POP! case.

There aren't any cases, but I second the dock idea. Get a car dock and desktop dock, oem from Google if they make em.
I got one of each for my n1 and I loved it 3736282x more after that haha
If you are in the market for the desktop dock I noticed the local Best Buy was selling them for $19.99 when I was there last night and picked one up. May be worth checking your local stores.

Id do it, because I sold my used dock the other day, no box for like $45 on eBay haha. They're that awesome. But mine did Bluetooth, induction charging and stuff idk if the nexus s has docks like that.

You defiantly need a screen protector and a good otterbox or hard case.

Anyone know a place where I can order white TPU cases for my GSM Nexus? I looked on Amazon and eBay, I did like one of them (link below) but the shipping takes forever, any suggestions are welcome.
A few things to note, I hate having a "lip" around the front of my device, unless its a really small one.

Since it's for the Korea market, it's safe to assume that it'll fit the GSM version for sure.

Fits both, its a TPU case, it flexes a bit.
Guys, I'm looking for alternatives to this that can arrive at my doorstep earlier.
Not looking for hard or silicon cases. Definitely not silicon.

I appreciate it, searches on my side are coming up dry as well. I remember seeing somethibg on Amazon but it was out of stock.
My white tpu case came in and it looks great! Its "super white"
Nicely packaged, came with a screen protector I'll never use but its nice.
It fits the original 1750 battery & back cover and 2000 battery & case perfectly. No idea about the Verizon phone as I have GSM, sorry guys.
The cutouts are perfect and the power + volume rocker are easily accessible.
Pics in next post.

can you tell me if your case has a lip on the front? As in lay on table design? I dont like the added thickness from a bulging lip. A slight one is fine.
edit: also is it really glossy?

Yes, it has a lip so face down on table it will be safe. Also the camera is protected if put on back.
It is glossy but because it is white, you can't really tell the fingerprints are there, if they are there.

IMO ebay is the place to go for TPU's. There's a huge selection there for really good prices. I grabbed a couple paid about 5$
Sent from my (GSM) Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Yes, just make sure you really read the description and order as soon as possible as when they are coming from Korea and or China, it can take a while.
For tpu, you can't go wrong going eBay.

I ordered this mercury lime green case from ebay for USD 9.99, haven't received it yet, but should arrive may be monday or tuesday, whiles i'm waiting for that, i just picked up 6 tpu case from shenzhen today, just the same as the one i ordered from ebay, the store says it's real, but i wont comment on it, all i can say is the mercury brand is korean, but they are still made in china, and these that i got from china are identical, and of high quality, i've checked everyone of them.
Here are some photo of the actual item, i've taken photo of the yellow cases as it shows up better, all photo is with the GSM model, with extended battery and cover.
All covers are glittered
All for USD 2.60 each

Anyone know if this will fit the CDMA version?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
if your are using the standard battery, it should be ok, the gsm version with the extended battery and cover is little thicker than the cdma version, so it should fit.
can't comment on cdma with extended battery.
Just to let you guys know, I have just received 3 of these cases, and will do a video review tomorrow evening, with both the standard gsm battery and extended!
looking forward to it
I have the black one, thank god for button cutouts! Makes this cheap tpu case a good option

Any difference between the standard and the extended battery in the amount the lip of the case protrudes over the screen?
no differences at all.
@evil jimmy, would you like me to link your video in the first post in this thread.
Hi
I may be taking orders for this case from 1/2/2012. The case will be charged USD 6 (USD 2.60 for item + the rest for shipping cost) if anyone is interested, this includes the item and registered post with tracking number.
I will be going to china shenzhen on the 6 or 7 of feb, so if anyone is interested please let me know, this is a one time deal only, and will not do a second time.
I'm sorry that payment must be made upfront and is non refundable unless the item is out of stock, increase in price alot or cancel before item is purchased, as i cannot afford to have evryone cancel their order once the item is purchased.
you can pm me upfront if interested, but payment will start on the 1st if all goes well.
I make nothing from this, just helping people out.
So there are a few threads here about different cases "in stock", but nothing is actually "in stock" and ready to be shipped.
If you find a case SPECIFIC to the 2nd gen Nexus 7 that we can buy now and have it ship within a day please post it below. Prime eligible would be best!
Please refrain from generic 7" travel or sleeve type cases as I'm sure anyone looking for one of these can go anywhere and buy one now.

I'm with you. I'm surprised there aren't the usual $5 TPU cases on eBay even that I always find when a new device comes out. I always tend to use something like that for the 1st few weeks/months until better options come out. But I cannot find anything worth buying that available locally or online and actually in stock and shipping now.
The ONLY option I've found is the official Asus travel case which everyone seems to say isn't worth the money at all. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1389517282&pf_rd_i=507846

My girlfriend is going to France for three weeks on the 4th and is going to take the Nexus with here, there's no way I'm letting her take it without a case and screen protector. So, I ordered the SUPCASE Folio case yesterday, I didn't notice that it says "Usually ships within 4 to 5 days." Expected ship date isn't until Monday, the day after she leaves and I can't easily cancel the order, so I sent them an email saying that unless they can ship it ASAP, I want the order canceled. I already have a Poetic case ($3.95, free shipping) ordered that's not shipping until the 9th, I wouldn't have ordered a second case unless I needed it sooner, so I put in an order for the i-Blason case. None of the cases are Prime eligible, so hopefully I can get that shipped before Saturday... and hopefully I don't end up with three cases.
I think it's going to be hard to find any good cases shipping now. I'm guessing these third party manufacturers did not get any early access to the device, so they're designing and mass manufacturing the cases as we speak. If anything I'd be weary of buying any case that actually is shipping now as it's probably a rush job and won't fit the device perfect. Just my 2 cents.

Not perfect but I mostly want something to protect my Nexus 7 while in transport in my laptop bag to and from work.
Try FiveBelow, Big Lots, & Dollartree
If anyone wants a little protection before their real cases get shipped... try FiveBelow, Big Lots, & Dollartree.
I first got me a 7" tablet sleeve from Dollartree but went into 5Below yesterdya and I got a generic 7" folio that fits the new nexus pretty good for $5.
I also saw some cheap tablet sleeves/cases at BigLots.
It will do the trick until my Moko and TPU hardshell case get here.
