Neoprene Sleeve (Like the old Nexus One pouch) - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I saw some others lamenting the loss of their N1 neoprene sleeves with the Droid on them.
This guy on ebay sells them:

I've got one for mine, the fit is great.

Bought.
I can't tell you enough how much I hate getting pocket lint all over my phone, especially in its case (have to take it off to get it all off). Drives me NUTS!
Hopefully this pouch is large enough to accommodate a case. But if not, maybe I'll just start to rock it naked

I bought this sleeve, doesn't seem to fit my Nexus. Not sure if the same seller, but the design is exactly the same.
Also took heeeeeeeeeeeeellla long to come. But thats to be expected from like Hong Kong.

Got some pics of the fit and the interior of the case? I've been seeing a lot of these on ebay, and people have been reporting most of the time they don't quite match up to the quality of the actual N1 sleeve. I want something that's going to last for 2 years and I'm hesitant to get one of these until I see someone prove that at least one of the ebay knockoffs is actually decent.

I've been using mine for about a month now and its been great. It's not quite as "soft" as the orignal N1 pouch but it has a snug fit which I like. At $5 I wasn't expecting much, so it's beaten my expectations.

Ringke Case review

Well I got sick of the added bulk/weight of my verizon dual case looking around on ebay I found this Ringke case. It's a silicone case, not too much added protection if it were dropped but just for daily use it's good enough. It definitely improves the power button feel, barely even have to touch it. Fit's nice and snug on the phone adds almost nothing to it. It isn't like most silicone cases collecting lint/getting stuck in your pocket it's a different material never seen it on a phone case before Only real complaint is with after market chargers the rubber kind of gets in the way but other then that I have zero complaints about it. For the price I think it was a decent deal.
just figured there might be others out there not sure about it, like I was and give a little insight on it.
16.00 shipped
Ringke Case
if really wanted I could get pictures of mine on the phone.
I'll post a video review in a couple days. If your looking for a case which add very little bulk to the phone this is it. High quality silicone which doesn't pick up lint, dust or dirt.

Atrix Leather Case.

Didn't really see anyone get something like this, so I ordered it and I'll review it once it gets here.

Leather case
I also ordered this armband, so i'll review that too.
Armband
Thanks for the effort here, and the expense put into it. I havent seen the arm band before - I have seen the leather cases, and have wondered how they fit and how well they protect. Looking forward to your reviews.... post up some pics too?
I have purchased 3 or leather holsters from ebay for my Atrix.
Still haven't found anything I liked.
Got the leather case (1st one) depicted today. It is a good case for being under $10, but I was disappointed when I overlooked the fact that it doesn't have a cut out for the power button / fingerprint scanner! I just cut one with an craft knife, but would not recommend the case because of that. Still waiting on the second one. (Should upload pictures soon)
The arm band looks interesting. Will the phone fit in it with case on like the otterbox commuter?

Kinda figured there wouldn't be a cutout for the power button/fingerprint reader based on the pictures of it. Though, i kinda find it funny that i can't seem to click on the different pictures on their page to get a better view. Unless it's just an issue with Chrome.
I'm actually quite a fan of Pure.Gear's leather snap-on case. At first i wasn't sure about it... but after using it... it's quite nice. slippery enough to slide into your pocket... yet enough grip that when holding it, it doesn't feel like it's going to slide out of your hand. fair bit thicker than the other snap-on cases made by Pure.Gear...

Good CHEAP Car Mount

As the Official car mount isn't out till January and currently costs £50 (no way am I paying that much) I decided to go down the cheapo route. So as the Nokia CR-115 proved popular with GS2 users and the Nexus is only 1.8mm wider I ordered one at £5.88.
Can't get any pictures of it in daylight till the weekend so here they are at night.

Out of the box it's an extremely tight fit with the Nexus, but trimming down the generously sized 'cushions' allows for a better fit.
As you'd expect of a Nokia product, it's well designed and built well.
Looks pretty good. I much more prefer the official case design, but not $70 more. haha
Looks like a good idea for me until Brodit release their model. Does it not press the volume button though?
Got this here. Works fine. I personally cut the rubber a bit on both sides.
I thought I take a risk on one of the clingo mounts. My worry was as the back of the phone has rubber texture it wouldn't work well, but very impressed so far..
Do you think I could use this case with a Diztronic TPU case if I cut the rubber enough? Thanks.
I'll be looking for a decent car mount soon
Not seen many good ones about

Yeah I had room to spare with the rubber using this case.

My 5 Dollar China Bumper Case and custom Gela Skin battery door cover

love this bumper case so much, crazy its only 5.00. The skin turned out really well also, Had to photoshop the picture to make it fit right, I get tons of compliments on it.

Gelaskins does make great skins. I bought numerous skins from them and have had no complaints of their work.
I LOVE this bumper too, and also thinking of doing something different with the battery cover/door, but I might just get a white colored door and call a day
Where did you get this from? Which eBay seller?
Do you have a link to this bumper case?

Heard problems with this bumper though. The front side falls apart

Actually, it's around the USB port area that the black TPU section can tear itself away from the white plastic. But I've been able to fix it by using a small dab of superglue. The result can be quite stiff and reassuring. At only 3 bucks a piece, it's still an excellent case. I have 4 of these.
BTW, I bought mine from focalprice.com
I have had mine on my phone going on 3 weeks and have had no issues. I could see there being issues with the black coming off if you take your phone out of the case alot. so far i have yet to take it out since i put the case on, I have did battery pulls but the case does not need to come off to do so.
design
where to get design like yours? Or you made it yourself completely? Would you upload it here?
Thank you

Good case that's available in the UK!

Hi guys,
I bought this case the other day, after buying a £14 360 degree rotation case on ebay at the same time I bought my Note 10.1... It was cool, cause you could separate the case, and use just the inner case without the cover bit, but it was crap quality. It felt crap, wasn't lined, the camera on the front wasn't lined up, and I wasn't satisfied.
Upon looking for another case that I could buy that was in the UK, I found the "The Pad'" 'folio case' by Shocksock....
It's only a few quid more than the other case I bought, but is miles better. Everything lines up really well, and the case, while not oozing quality, feels nice, and looks smart. There is a couple of sharp feeling sticky-outy threads, where the sewing has been done, and the thread cut, but other than that, it's great. It's a shame it's not seperatable, but it's just miles better, and reasonable IMO for £20. I certainly couldn't find anything that looked better, so took a punt. It can also be positioned at any angle, due to a hard velcro ridge at the bottom of the tablet that sticks into and on the lining of the cover. The magnet seems a little weak, but it's closing nicer now the Note has settled into the case and stretched it in the right places - It also feels cushioned and very protective... recommended.

Thanks for the pics, that does look very good for 20 quid!
The design is different from a lot of the cases up for sale available via links on this forum.
One question though, is there a gap/cut out for the S-pen?
Unfortunately this came a little too late for me though, I purchased the original Samsung book case in dark grey and have a noreve leather one on order.
It's BULKY!
