I looked at the Glass headphones today after getting an invitation to buy Glass 2nd Generation from Google, and they look very slick and beautiful.
Who else here thinks that they should make a similar pair for the Nexus 5, and who would buy them?
I know I would pay for a nice pair like those, and especially if they were wireless/Bluetooth!

Glass costs $1,500, and the headphones cost $85. I want to buy them now that I have a chance but I doubt I will. They're pricey and if they come out publicly within a year or two they should sell for under $1,000 from what the rumors are saying. The rumors range anywhere from $300 to a price over $800. Either way it'll still be cheaper than it is now and I rather wait for that...

I think out of the leather cases this is by far my favorite.. but $129?? I guess it's worth it to protect a $600 device right? What I like about it is it doesnt look cheap and it doesnt seem to add too much bulk to the device

Anyone see something similar?
There are sooooo few cases out right now. Not a big fan of the any with the exception of this one. There is a leather Motorolla Portfolio, but hard to find pics of it...and that get's mixed reviews.
I did pre-order the piel frama case...and was told it will not be "released until Mid April". I guess until then we won't have any new pics of what it really looks like.

From what I read about other cases they have made they really seem top notch. I read the leather is hand done etc.. I'm trying to find out if I can find a coupon code for cases.com to get it a little cheaper.
With all the other cases out there so far, I find one thing I like in one but really dislike another thing about it. That goes for pretty much every other case I have looked at..The only thing I dont really like is the price tag. lol But I think I can live with that more than a case that I'm 90% happy with. It looks well made and it has a simple classy look to it. I think I might go for it.
ok, they did offer me a 10% discount.. I'm still debating if I'm going to fork over that kind of cash for a case. Just in case the coupon code is a one time deal I will not post it yet. I will post it after I either decide to purchase it or not then I will post it here. I just dont want to post it while I'm deciding someone else use it and if it is a one time deal and I decide to get it I'm screwed lol
10% That's not bad! I heard Vaja may be coming out with a case too, but no clue on what it looks like or price.
If you hold off, I'll post some pics, but who knows when this will be here....can't rush quality
I'm using a moto silicon case with a skinomi shield....works okay, but want a portfolio case.
No experience of the Xoom case but I have used a Piel Frama with my HTC Blackstone for about two years. Still looks new and smells of cow.
Well made, quality leather, hence the price tag.

They told me it would be shipping in the middle or late April. I really like that case but not sure I want to spend that much for a case.. decisions decisions lol
I bought the stock motorola portfolio case for $40 bucks and it works perfectly. We're android users not iPad socialites... please don't spend $129 bucks on a case...
My case gives me decent viewing angles without breaking the bank.
Save that money and purchase some great apps for your device instead (just my opinion)

You can definitely see a difference in the pics of the quality of the leather though. The Kevikev case's leather kind of looks cheap in my opinion if you look at the red picture up close it almost looks like pleather.
You're right about the red one

Thanks for the link.
The case looks kinda meh to me and a tad bit expensive for the design/material.
Agreed. $30 for a simple case is pretty steep.
Bah. I was hoping for a Candyshell. I'll consider buying it when it hits eBay for half the price and ive seen some video reviews.
I might need to start charging more that is kinda lame for $30. It would be worth a buy @ $10. I wonder if it working with the extended battery.
That looks pretty cool but $30???

Thanks Joel. I needed a laugh like that today.
If it was a candyshell I might pay 20 bucks. But $30 for that?
Expensive, and covered button, and "for Verizon model only"
Not good

"This fits the Verizon version only. Accommodates the extended battery, too!"
Little pricey, but at least they're clear about what exactly it fits.
I agree with everyone else.. $30 for a 'standard' TPU case is too much!
meh ill be the guinea pig, ordered 1
when i get it ill let u guys know how it is and maybe some pics too
It's cool, but not for 30 bones.

Is it a TPU case? I went back to the product page and it didn't say whether it's a TPU case or not. The last case I got from them was for my wife's (3G? the square-ish one)) iPod nano, and that was pretty good quality.
Used a few Speck product before. They produce quality case.
However
This is not worth $30 lol
They thought Android users were stupid sheep like the iPoo users who pay any amount for any accessory. Luckily we have Cruzerlite that can fill our needs for the cases.
I bought the Speck case for my Macbook Air and after having to pay customs and blabla (the total case+shipping+customs was about $80) one of the lids that keeps the case attached to the laptop broke (it just broke by itself), reading on the web I saw it was not only me, it happens all the time to almost everyone so... No more overpriced Speck products for me, thanks.

I wished it was the candyshell. Pixelskin isnt worth $30

Just received these - thought I'd pop them in here in case anyone is looking for some cheap cases.
I've used and given one of these to my sister. It was rather good for the 1€ i've given, shippings included. There are now 7 for said price. These much be really cheap to make

Honestly, why would you want 7 cases, even if it is only $1.10... huge waste of plastic to send them all to users who are just gonna throw them in the bin anyway.

One for each day of the week
Must be a mistake or something because I don't see it anymore. Its way too cheap, even if its a load of crap!
It wasn't a mistake I don't think as the price went up and down but this was the lowest it got. They aren't really bad for the money if you need a quick bit of protection from the elements but yes the listing has ended now.
I wish I saw this sooner, proper bargain!
Why is it that there is no real good selection of cases...I can't even find where to buy the asus premium case...why release something with no protection?
**** I went to best buy today and they had a whole rack for the tab 3...nothing for new nexus 7. All the cases that seem to look decent are not even available for the next week or so. I just am at a loss...I just want a nice flip case that ideally has a magnet that doesnt screw up the screen and actually fits the tablet...I'd even shell out decent money...
They don't want to give case makers the heads up on the design because leaks would be instantaneous, but I think if Google was smart they'd manufacture their own case to have ready at retail right alongside the tablet. It makes their brand look 2nd rate when people like us who are fans of their product can't buy things to protect it. Asus has the travel case but that thing is a joke.

The best place to find cases now is at Amazon.
Most of them come from China, but they will do the job, at least in the interim.
They're typically under $15 with shipping.
I got this one for $5
http://www.amazon.com/Fintie-Classi...id=1376113513&sr=8-1&keywords=nexus+7+2+cases
It's nothing special, but it will protect the device...even has a magnetic cover.
The Asus premium case hasn't been released yet, but it's supposed to be $40 when it becomes available in September.
More and more options are appearing daily.

I mean, I understand that other manufactures dont have access. However, google and asus should...the travel case is ridiculous...
I mean, I love my nexus 7, its sweet. I just wish there was a good case.
Took close to three weeks because I picked white, but I finally have it.
Wireless charging works fine with both TYLT and an el-cheapo one.
The cover does have a magnet, so the screen turns on/off automatically (nice!).
Both the earpiece hole and the notification hole work as you'd expect them to.
Makes the phone look bulky, but expensive.
Is it worth the $50 I paid?
Yes.
For me at least.

Did you click on the arrow? There are 8 or so photos for each.
I had owned a number of their products, and the quality is top notch. You can find plenty of reviews for other cases online.
Updated with short review
I always was envious of those phones that got wrapped in Vaja leather. Those cases always look so nice, as do these.
I'm personally not a fan of this style of case, but it looks well made and like you said, expensive. I bought three cases for my N5, none of which I use, so yeah, this one case is easily worth the $50 I've spent thus far

I do love the ivolution Vaja's. My ivolution for my Sony Clie NX70 is still going strong after all these years! lol I wanted to get one of these for my N4, but they absolutely failed in communicating on the delays of my order. I do want them, but for one, they have to promise to deliver when they say. I have spoken to another member who knows the owner of Noreve personally and sent my feedback to them. I have no opinion of the product, but I am curious now based on those nice pics. Handcrafted leather is just nothing like it IMO.

I'm sure you bought this reasonable expectations, but I have to say, once you go premium leather, you just can't go back.
As with everything else, premium quality is addicting. :laugh:
Man this looks nice. Wish they made one without the screen cover though. I could never stand having that big flap when using my phone.
