I'll admit this might be a tad silly, but I'm looking for a case that provides a lot of protection, but also has a nerd flare to it. Most of the ones I encounter on sites like Amazon, it's either one of the other. Can anybody point me in the right where I might get both?

For you, what is the best to protect our Gnex? Pouch or case?
If Pouch? What do you suggest?
If choice is Case? What is the best brand?
In general now, I don't prefer pouches or 'socks' as they're called in the EU. But that's personal preference. I find that most don't offer the same amount of protection, without getting to be very bulky.
And as to cases, the absolute best IMO hands down is ALWAYS from 'Otterbox'. If you're worried about your device, put it in an Otterbox, and it will live thru almost anything you can throw at it.
Also, if you're mostly just worried about scratches...check YouTube for the "InvisibleShield" by a company called Zagg. Awesome stuff, too. There are cheaper versions from other companies, but the IS from Zagg seems to be the original...but I could be wrong about that.

I find i site called fitBAG.de, they pouch look very good, maybe i buy one for test (but has expensive price - 62 dollars).
Zagg i has used with my old Nokia N82, but is turn the phone ugly....
Otterbox is another good choice, i looked some images of this case, but i can't find where i can buy this... The official website reports that are still in development.
After getting the Androidfied A2's from Cruzer lite, I didnt think they could top themselves. I was wrong. When I heard about the new cases and saw them, I just couldnt wait. Here is a little review about this series.
The feel of them is different than the A2's but not in a bad way. Feels smooth and higher end, but still TPU. Its not slippery at all. Also, feels just a tiny bit thinner but I know its prob just me excited about the new cases. Also, I noticed new packaging. Thats even better too, lol
The cutouts are still perfect from the A2's. Seems they changed it just a lil bit to help with people with big headphone jacks. I dont use any, so I couldnt test. Unless someone wants to send me a nice pair of headphones
This is their designer series and they are sick. I loved the Androidfied A2's Andy on the back, but these are just so much more, "I LOVE ANDROID" user. Which I do love Android, lol. Its going to be hard to get all of these series as they have so many to chose from
Overall, this is just a tiny bit better than the A2 series. Its very close though. I think what makes it stand out as the winner is cuz of the designs and the feel of the new ones. It is WELL worth the $15 for the case. I think that is why I keep going back to Cruzer lite is because he doesnt over charge for his cases when he knows he could. Thanks again.

I ended up getting in on the buy one get a random case free deal and got the Assembling Andy and The Rorschach cases for $15 with free shipping! Great deal because these cases are sweet.
They fit perfectly with or without extended battery. All the cutouts are fine. Usb and headphone jacks fit fine.
The feel is smooth and goes in and out of pocket easily.
Not sure what else to say. They're great and worth it even at full price.

I know where I am stopping to get some new threads. Thanks for the heads up.
I have the Original and the A2's. IMHO i don't like these. With a motive printed on the case looks cheap, plus $15 imho is steep. I like unicolor,simple cases. Maybe a good looking 2 tone, but a motive is really hmm... i don't know for me.
Even a TPU rainbow case a la A2's will cut it for me. But there's something about adding it a printed motive in the TPU i dont dig :s

I have the original and A2's as well. I can see what you mean, but I like showing off my phone and these cases just do it so much more. The price, if you think about it isnt that bad at all. You see others charging 20-30$ for something like this. But that is just my 2 cents on it. I rushed out and bought all the colors I liked for the A2's and I think with these, I might get 1 or 2 more. But I like how cruzer lite keeps coming out with new designs. I have OCD and cant keep the same case on for more than a few days, so his designs help my problem, lol.

I can respect this opinion but just wanted to let people know that in person these cases don't look or feel cheap in the slightest. They are really high quality and, at least with the two that I got, they look great.
I haven't been able to take off the Rorschach case yet... something about the white case on the Gnex just looks awesome to me. The Assembling Andy case hasn't gotten hardly any play yet.

Exactly. And I am the same way. I think moving fwd, Im only going to get their white cases. Just makes the phone pop so much more.
Hi guys, I'm about to make the plunge and buy a Note sometime this week from a local store (offer is on, cant miss out!)
However, the only case they sell is pretty...meh. So I'm going to have to order one online.
The one I use on my current ipad1 is a Mophie folio case like this: http://www.avenueapplemac.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/mophie-workbook-iPad_2.jpg
Its a different version for my iPad one, but basically the same. Im looking for another one like it for the Note.
Requirements:
- Folio/flip cover style, to protect the screen when not in use (I dont want to use screen protectors)
- Some way to keep the flap closed. The mophie has the elastic strip which works perfectly, and tucks behind the tablet when its open. Magnets will not be any good, as I hear they interfere with the SPen...
- Should go without saying, but good quality workmanship. Holes all lines up, that sort of thing.
I did look through the cases threads, but a lot of them were back-only plastic cases, or a variety of cheap ebay cases (which in my experience can be very hit-and-miss when it comes to build accuracy).
Amazon searches came up with a couple decent looking cases, but with no shutting mechanism... Worst comes to worst I'll buy a big elastic strap to go round it, but I'd rather not.
Oh yeh, and the other issue was that a few of the promising cases dont exist in the UK amazon store, I guess they are from american companies or something. So a UK sourced recommendation would be nice!
Anyone got any recommendations? Otherwise I shall go for something like...
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Poetic-Prot...1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1353898549&sr=1-2

Thanks for any help much appreciated
Hey everyone!
Right now I am on my third Body Glove case, which were sold by AT&T awhile back. I have three because they keep breaking, and I managed to snag some for being under warranty. However, on the one I just got, they said that they no longer will be producing or honoring warranties on these cases, as they simply won't be making them anymore. Therefore, I am in the market for a new case. I am looking for one that is relatively sturdy/thick (this one is about 1/16th of an inch, not counting the felt liner), has a rubberized plastic coating (non-slip), and that doesn't inhibit the function of the phone that much (my case right now is a little bit on the keyboard, that's fine). Really any color will do, right now I have a cobalt-blue color case, just as long as it isn't any feminine color or anything of the like. If anyone knows of anybody that makes cases like this (that you could suggest), please share them!
Thanks
Look on ebay. There's plenty on there.

I see that there are a lot on eBay, however, a lot of them also seem like cheap import crap. While something being inexpensive isn't necessarily a bad thing, being flimsy would be. Plus, I was looking for recommendations as to cases that others use.

I use the speck sure slider case and its great. Except one thing.. The part that exposes the camera and speaker is really weak. Other than that its probably the best case for this phone.
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda premium
I was really considering that case, actually. The only really big turn off is the fact that it leaves that metal(ic?) portion with the camera and speaker exposed. I really can see all kinds of dirt and lint and such fouling up both the speaker and the camera, as well as the fact that the metal itself is exposed (scratches! yay!).
Related to that case, does the gigantic speck logo on the back bother you at all when it is being held, or affect it lying flat?
I hardly notice it really. Your not gonna find a great case like trident or otterbox for this phone so lets not be too picky lol.

Haha, not trying to be too picky, I just am looking for a good case.
On a side note, every rubber-coated case I have gets discolored from skin oils...what do you all think is the best way to clean these kinds of cases?
Hey guys,
I was looking for a case for my GS2X, and I found this one that doesn't seem to add too much bulk, and has some styles. I am not particularly buying a case for protection. I want to have some style to my phone, thus I am looking for cases that doesn't cover the top and bottom which usually leads to sleeker design in my opinion.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Natural-Woo...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item4d06a7e4c2
Anyone tried this one? It's not as girly as other ones that this seller sells. 11 people have bought it so far, and I'm wondering how it fits, and what it looks like when the phone is in the case, especially on the front.
Thanks!
That looks pretty unique. I don't know if you're gonna find many people on here that have it, lol. Seems like it might be crumbly or easily breakable, but that's just by it's looks.
There's plenty of fancy and inexpensive cases for this phone. I just search "t989 case" on ebay and sort by lowest price + shipping.
nice but...
For $18.99 it's not that nice. Sorry, it struck me as a bad buy. Good luck with your case search.
For me, at that price I would want my phone in a case that I know will protect it and at least look a little better. Then again i still am using my first case that I bought from E-bay. It was one of those cases where you get like 10 and pay for shipping only =)
