I'm about to get a nexus arriving in the next few days. Aside from a screen protector, are there any good cases/protection I can buy that will help protect the phone?
As of right now only the cheap off brand companies like Amzer have produced cases.
There is no need for a screen protector, all it is going to do is mess up the sensitivity of the screen to your touch and make it dimmer. There is really no need for a case either as the phone will not scratch, at least easily. Only thing useful may be a little rubber case around the edges in case of drop, but if you drop the thing on the screen and hit the edge of a table with it, it is pretty much screwed with or without a screen protector.
I have never used any kind of case or screen protector with my iphone/G1/N1 and the only thing I ever had was a very very slight scratch on my iphone screen I think from the time I sat on my keys and phone together in my back pocket.
People need to get a grip, take off the car bra's, the cell phone cases, the key fob protectors, the plastic on your chairs and lamps, and just live your life. The phone will be well outdated and only worth $50 in a year, so just enjoy it.

I always have to have a screen protector from day 1 on every nice phone i get and a case. Its just not logically smart to spend 600$ and then go around carrying it in your pocket while keys and loose change are grinding all over the phone. (Yes this will make scratches) I really love the invisible shields im not sure if they actually have any for the N1 yet, hopefully..
My ZAGG skin fits fine.... its just a mutha****a to put on

I doubt that this will change anytime soon.
Ya I've used the invisible shield on my G1. While I do like the fact that it protects my case and screen from scratches, it does make the entire phone look a lot uglier than it has to. I'll probably buy a dcmugen case off ebay, it comes with a screen protector too which I found lots of people seem to like when they received it on other phones.
what's there to know? grey is semi-transparent and the black is opaque.
