well i thank you for posting atleast we know they are coming now i want protection for my 600 phone lol im sure they will come out with a case mate tough since there is a pop case i work ut and run with my phone so the protection is needed
That looks pretty bulky.. how does it feel in your hand
?
Tapatalkin' it from my Epic Touch 3g
I can't say say from this phone but the pop cases don't add much its like a speck candy shell but thinner to me its thinner then some of the thicker silicone and tpu cases but then again I like the casemate touch cases so thickness is nothing to me
It feels nice the grip is nice to have on the sides and the lip on the front is nice incase you want to lay it on its face it will not scratch the screen.

Supposedly casemate will be making the tough case, barely there case, and obviously pop case for e4gt. I emailed then specifically to ask..they said about two weeks into october, and a few places online have preorder dates saying the 12th

Every white case I ever bought turned colors the more I use it...have you noticed this yet at all...I'm going to have to check back in a few weeks with you to see.
I had a Case-Mate Pop case for my Nexus S 4G, and while it looks really nice, I would still prefer a case that can be removed more easily.
It was a pain to take off the case and then put the phone back into it. Since I have a spare battery for the GS II, I can see this being a problem. At least for me.
But it is a good case =\
Kick stand is nice, but the kick stand on this one looks cheap and to me it looks like it would break easy. What are your thoughts on this OP?
the lady in sprint had ZERO idea when i asled her about the casemate products lol

Ok guys update so far so good took it camping fri and sat used it all weekend.....no visible discoloration on white shell....the kickstand to me is flimsy a bit does what it is supposed to do...I think the it will last just as long as you don't put pressure on top of the case itself.
When I work on tuesday I will post the sku
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
this is honestly the BEST case I've ever used. it feels great in the hand and the kickstand is a must have if you Netflix at work. it's sold out on amazon but I was able to find mine on ebay
http://www.amazon.com/Case-mate-Cas..._16?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1324101079&sr=1-16
I had this case on my NS4G, it'll end up warping on the rubber edges, after about 1 month it was already messed up.. but this one can be different.
How thick is it? I have a Seidio Active... About as thick as I'd want to go.
Sent from my Samsung Epic 4G Touch.
How hard is it?
Is is a soft rubber?
Thanks.
Nice
Good looking case. Has anyone spotted any dark blue ones -- NO TPU cases please.. Thx
Hard plastic on the back, and the rubber is really tough but will give in about a month if you continuously take it off.. the real fit is snug you'll like it
I bought this case from Amazon first part of November and really like it
The kickstand feels a little flimsy which is okay because it's not used all the time, the phone snaps in and stays without problem... the reason I really like this case is because of the placement of the rubber, which is soft and gives the phone grip which is easy to hold in my hand.
Another reason I like this case is because I can put the phone on my dashboard or center console of my 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 Crew Cab and the phone never moves while driving
I bought the White/Cool Gray one

I've had mine for almost 2 months and haven't it change any colors, are you sure the color change isn't come from something in your environment like blueberry KoolAid? HAHA

Hey fellas,
I finally made the switch again over to android.
I have been contemplating this for quite some time now and I just had to do it with the Nexus at $350 & I can not wait for it to arrive later this week. + i missed the xda community
I was a former Captivate owner then jumped over to the iphone 4s for a test and now I had to come back. Cant wait to start flashing roms (a little rusty since im sure things have changed in flashing techniques since I left) so a lot of reading to catch up on :good:
Never been a fan of touchwiz or any carrier implemented interface over android so this will be a great change having a pure google device for once.
Also what would be the best cheap case I should get ?????????
Just wanted to introduce myself on the Nexus forum and hope to be pretty active here
UPDATE: I ordered it on Saturday Oct 6th around 3pm ....anybody order it recently ? How long did it take for it to arrive because I haven't gotten any update as of yet??
Plus today being Columbus day I think there it wont be shipped out till tomorrow?
Welcome! This is my favorite stop for smartphone info...
The gnex has been my favorite android phone. The screen size paired with SwiftKey made for an easy transition from my droid 2's qwerty keyboard.
Your gsm version will get better battery life than sprint / verizon. I would suggest bugless beast with trinity kernel, screebl beta, extended battery, cpu spy, and better battery stats.
Good luck.

I know even when I didn't have an android I would still come and browse around XDA to see what I was missing hah...
& Great appreciate the advice, I will def look into that...
Goto diztronics and get a tpu for about $10.

Make sure you get a screen protector. Citigeeks has them for 5 bucks. Best 5 bucks I've ever spent

I can say 100% that the battery life is better on the unlocked gsm model then sprint or verzion. I had the sprint gnex for four months. i got tried of thier data speeds so i cancelled my contract and since my brother was ditching his unlocked gnex for the iphone 5. i got his phone and went to att
i know a new nexus is coming but i will still keep this phone. i absolutely love it. the battery difference is night and day for me.

I was thinking about holding off but I heard there were rumors it will be manufactured by LG? which I do not like as much. Also the $ was a influential factor, I can't justify spending $500+ on a phone so thought I would dive in now with the great reviewe's I've read.
Trying to sell my iphone for 300+ so it will basically be a trade off for me..
& thank you all for the comments. I have already ordered a case and screen protector from eBay so now i just sit and wait for it all to arrive :fingers-crossed: (the hardest part)

I personally use it without a case, only a screen protector on.
For 5 months, went without any scratches, then got 2 small battle scars when i friend knocked it over.
I got a casemate barely there black case. Google it. Bought it for €15

My favorite by far is the Otterbox Commuter case, just picked one up for $15. Feels great and feels secure.

Body Glove TPU at Walmart +/- $15 depending which store. Had it since march and still fits snug and looks good.

I just realized being Columbus day I fear it won't be sent out today either (my card charge still is pending)
Rumor has it that preorder will start tomorrow and the case will be available in about a month.
I have one of these for my original nexus 7 and its really good for the price. Just figured I'd pass on the info.

Im gonna have to pass. I made the mistake of buying the Slimline for my OG N7 and it was terrible. Left marks on the screen and practically fell apart. And I hardly even used the flippin case. Only put it on when I was traveling about. I had it for about 5 months, and by the 4rth month it was already fraying at the edges.
I had the same problems with the slim case. I have had the revolution for my nexus 7 for a long time and it's in Greddy shape.
BTW the new case is on amazon now for $20

I'd rather get best buy protection and go naked with that price
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2
FYI, Amazon Just Dropped the Price on this Cae Its now Only $14.99 Free Shipping! , BTW I pre-Ordered Both The Revolution and the Slimline, heck for $20 shipped on both, its bang for buck, I've had Poetic in the past, Quality is not the best but not the worst either;for me it's enough; I'm really careful with my devices I'll bet they'll last me!
PS. I trust My N4 with a Poetic Atmosphere.
Revolution Case Link---> http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-REVOLU...sr=8-1&keywords=poetic+nexus+7+fhd+revolution
Thanks for the update. Any idea how OK can get them to honor that price instead of the $20 I already ordered out at?
As far as the cases go I really, really like the one that I have for my nexus 7. I was looking for a defender case but I wasn't about to spend $70 on one. I haven't really been happy with defender cases lately anyways. After buying one for my note 2 I'll never buy one again.
The revolution case is defender like, can be had for less than half the cost and the button press is easy and it feels good in hand. I bought one of the first runs and it had the blurry screen protector. I contacted poetic and they sent me two replacements..... It took a month or so to get them made amnd to me but they made good. While I was waiting I just knocked the one out and installed a stock on one on the screen.
Anyways ever since I got the new front its been on, clear and nice and I don't think twice about letting my toddler use the tablet.

Awesome. I just checked my shipment and it looks like it was just shipped 12 hours ago even tho I got a email from amazon saying it shipped before that. Kinda bummed, I've been waiting a long time for this case. I've actually been using my old nexus 7 all the time just because I like the way it feels in my hand with the case on.
Looks like I'll be happy with the case when I get it tho.

Ordered one of these myself. Looked very decent. Been looking for something that has decent protection as my kids broke the screen on my first generation that I'm still trying to figure out what to do with. Estimated delivery date is Monday, however I'm doubtful as the tracking days it's been in San Francisco since the 19th.

Is anybody else's screen protector very cloudy? Mine is cloudy and has specs that kind of look like a screen protector placed on a dirty screen. This is the screen protector however, and not the screen being dirty.

Make sure you removed the plastic protector film on the outside as well as the inside of the built in screen protector.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
Much better thank you. It was the inside cover that I didn't know was there. There is some distortion, giving a rainbow like look, but that's something I expect I guess from a screen protector that is not adhesively bonded.

That rainbow effect never goes away either. My original nex7 case still has it. It's not bad once the screen turns on.
This case is way better than the original case. only thing I don't like is the horizontal stand, it leans back farther than the original nexus 7 case.
