i have a nexus s running ics, however, with 2.3 and 4.0, the nexus s has always had a problem when plugged in via usb, the display would become unresponsive.
does the gnex have this issue at all?
i ordered the incipio ngp case and an xoskin, however, i really don't think i will be happy with the case. i don't like buttons to be covered, but, i need something that will provide a decent amount of protection. i scoured the accessory FAQ and watched all the videos, but, didn't see anything i liked. the reason i bought the gnex was because my focus s shattered when i dropped it. need to protect this one as much as possible or else my wife will shatter me, since i spent our vacation money on a new phone (shh, don't tell her that, lol).
i go to the gym about 3-4 times per week, so i need some sort of holder for it there, not really a fan of the armband thing i see people wearing, but if anyone knows of something decent, i'd appreciate it.
oh, and insurance, what's a cheap way to insure this thing?

So, im about to buy an Innocase. Im too drunk to decide which one I want, so im leaving it up to my fellow XDA'ians.
What do you think?
Oh yea, BTW, im waiting until Midnight Central Time, and im buying whatever you guys decide, because im impatient
Dude, go with the Active. I seriously love it. It so well designed and it's so comfortable to hold. Plus it will be compatible will seidio's car mount and docks.
BTW, speaking of drunk, that last post took me like ten minutes because of many jack and cokes. Even worse, I had to go back and edit it because I said "seidio socks" instead of "docks". I blame that on Jack and the lack of Swype. Buy the damn case
20 minutes left!!!
I was going to order the Active from Amazon, but it says it takes 2-3 weeks to ship. By that time there hopefully will be some decent cases out, because none of the ones out are that great. Anyone know of any place to order them that has em in stock? Im guessing not since its an Amazon exclusive case..
i got mine yesterday, it only took a week or so to ship
I just ordered My active. Geez, i hope it ships before it says it will (July 12)
july 12th is my bday
Active is nicer but bulky, I use it for work but take it off when not working. If you do work where the phone can easily get damaged active is worth it offers lots of protection otherwise I would definitely go with Surface as it's much slimmer actually I would probably go with no case unless you really need it LOL
Active all the way man!
Surface II all the way
sent from my evo
I bought the surface II and returned it. Purchased the Active, and love it. The extra bulk people mention is hardly noticeable, and it feels MUCH more solid. The two cant even be compared in my opinion.
I just got the updated Surface II as the first run(batch) was horrible. The second round is nice and snug. Hardly any play in it now.
Hello everyone. My name's Pat, and I have been using this website quite frequently ever since I got my used TILT. I really appreciate all the effort that you users put in to help everyone, its very helpful to find these kind of forums. I have a vehicle that has over 185,000 miles on it because of a forum, so again, thanks for any help I receive from you all.
I have been somewhat happy with the TILT I bought used from a friends friend, but it has definitely been abused before I got it. The whole phone is failing day by day.
Because of this forum, I have decided that I am going to purchase the TILT 2, looks like an awesome phone. I work in the automotive business with a lot of mechanical work, car washing, etc., and I want to protect my phone as best as possible. I am sure you guys would know whats best.
So here is what I was thinking, PLEASE feel free to bash or advise:
Smart phone experts screen protector: 12 bucks or so, seems like good quality
The Otter box crush proof 2500 medium waterproof case....could be very useful for me in certain situations...let me know what you guys think
IF possible, id like to also get the Otter box commuter hard case...not to sure if this would fit in the crush proof case they also sell.
Not sure if it is necessary, but i would also get that protective film from smart phone experts if its worth a crap.
Pocket pouch for out-of-work applications.
Now again, I work in a dirty, rough environment, I am going to protect this phone with however much $ necessary... Tips, suggestions, please let me know.
Also, I noticed there is a wireless "controller" for the phone that has a remote and wireless bluetooth...headset i guess you would call it. Blue vision is the mfg. The only reason I would use this, is so i could pick up important phone calls while working and not have to even touch my TILT 2. My argument is, if I have a 5minute pass lock on my phone, how the hell would I ever be able to use this remote control if i cant see my screen?
Again, thank you everybody for your time.
Wondering if I should put a realook on order right now or just use the one provided? feedback please.
I ordered the Barely-There case, and since it's made by the same company I assume the SPs are the same.
I really, dislike mine. The screen protector was very hard to swipe without getting my finger stuck. It get's dirty, and smudgy. Plus, the SP is for the international Galaxy S, meaning they're unnecessary holes at the buttom.
I wouldn't recommend putting them on, because they're terrible.
Order the Realook now, because you will be much happier.

order it now! I have one on my vibrant, my son's ipod touch and my wife's iphone. The only flaw in my opinion is the fingerprints, but that can easily be fixed with a quick wipe from your shirt.
Go for the realook. You will not be disappointed.
Got my TC a few weeks ago, and was really looking forward to replacing the T-Mobile SP that I got for free the day I received the phone. I know what I had on it sucked, and like Sam V said, I was disappointed when the SP was not for the US market.
Instead I ordered the realook and I am frankly stunned by the improvement. Never having the opportunity to use it without a SP, I did not know what I was missing. So yeah, be like everyone else and get the TC and RL. Although I have never seen it posted here yet, I have been a lurker for sometime, buy a couple of two packs since there is a good chance of messing of the first try. If you have not done a SP before that is. I am glad I tried the 2nd one myself instead of going to the local T-Mobile looking like a noob ass, it went on fine.
Hey guys,
I've been prowling around these sectors ever since I got my Xoom, searching for the perfect case.
What I wanted:
The flexibility of the Zoogue case really appealed to me - I like the idea of being able to choose the angle of viewing. I also wanted any case to be able to be able to provide a setting for only a slight tilt when I wanted to type.
BUT the high price tag really put me off.
Also, I wanted it to be pretty thin. The Xoom is big enough without me adding to its bulk.
After much searching, I think I found the perfect one, so I thought I'd share my experiences (Here's the link where I bought it from: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Black-Fo...Accessories&hash=item3f0a05cb28#ht_3816wt_947)
Firstly, the price tag attached to this thing is ridiculously awesome. At first, I bought it thinking 'why not? it's less than $25!', but the product turned out to be even more awesome.
Firstly, it's really thin, but covers the tablet nicely. Secondly, to a certain extent, you can also choose what viewing angle you want, which is awesome. I say to a certain extent, because after a while, you run out of cover to stick the velcro on (have a look at the attached picture)
All the cutouts are there, but you can't charge with the case closed. I don't think this is a problem, because the cover folds back on itself nicely, so you can keep it open to charge. Which brings me to the next plus: it's designed so that it folds back on itself and it's actually pretty comfortable to hold in portrait mode (I've heard that this isn't the case with the official Moto one).
The only minor flaw I've found is that on mine, the top left corner is slightly higher than the top right - what this means is that the front-facing camera is covered ever so slightly by the strip of leather running under it. The picture I attached kind of exaggerates it a bit; it's not that bad. When I booted up the front-facing camera, there's just a line across the very bottom of the image. I'm not sure if this is on all their cases, so it might just be mine.
One more note: When I first heard about cases using velcro, I immediately wondered if the velcro would wear out over time, like in some of my bags. If you're also wondering that, then don't worry! This doesn't use the traditional velcro. You know how traditionally, the fuzzy part has all the loops and the the other part would like... 'hook' onto it and that's how it stuck? Well, this uses a different sort... one that looks like it won't wear out easily. Also, this case is pretty damn sturdy when you've got it propped up. I've tested this out extensively, and even when poking at the screen with a fair bit of force, it never topples.
Finally, before anyone asks: no, I'm not in any way affiliated with the seller, I'm just one super-happy customer. Even though it says it's free shipping, they still provided tracking for me. They even took a picture of the package before they sent it off and sent that to me, which was an eBay first. Plus, the person dealing with the emails just seems really nice, based on the correspondences I've had.
So pretty much, this case is amazing (for me, anyway). I don't think it's real leather, but for under $25, I wasn't expecting it. Plus, real leather is a ***** to take care of, anyway. Whether you need this case will probably come down to what you want out of a case, but this one has been pretty versatile for me (I've had it for about a month now).
EDIT: I didn't realise how much I wrote.... can you tell I'm procrastinating?
EDIT2: I forgot to add that there's even a magnet that holds the cover closed. It's not too strong but not too weak, either. Quite nifty, actually!

Nope, there's nothing on the screen area at all. That's my matte screen protector that I bought off eBay. It was the cheapest one I could find and it actually works quite well!
i got this one. will post pics and give feedback as soon as i got it.
Well, I really like it myself, so it'll be interesting to hear feedback from other people too.
And daaaang it, it's on sale now (I hate when things go on sale after I buy it!) Oh well, it was already cheap to begin with
Just got the phone yesterday. Loving it (except for the super weak wifi), but am anxious to protect the pretty thing.
There weren't many options in the stores in terms of cases and screen protectors, so I wanted to hear from the community what people are using.

There is a thread for the WiFi issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688538
and I can't advise you on cases or screen protectors because I never use them. I like to unleash the beauty of my phone try looking in accessories for something
That thread is in response to a hardware issue that doesn't seem like my phone has.
How has your phone held up so far with no protection? Tempted to go the same route myself.
i went 'naked' until i dropped my HOX and smashed the screen into a gazillion pieces
(it landed very unfortunatley screen first on a tiled up-stand with a 90ยบ corner!)
since then i have used this case which is cheap, looks good, follows the same shape as the phone (looks like a slightly fatter HOX) and seems to provide good protection - whilst maximising grippiness for the phone - something the HOX is lacking due to the sheer size of it
