Just bought a case for my new N1 does anyone have it?

I literally got mine today, in blue argyll. The fit is perfect and doesn't move around on the phone. All of the keys and ports on the outside of the phone are easily accessible, except the bronze contacts on the bottom are covered. Won't work with a dock (which Seidio has in the works). I'm 100% satisfied for the $11 I spent.

Also, "Google" and "HTC" are still clearly visible on the back with a nice cosmetic touch now. I personally always considered the Iphone the nicest looking device (never owned one either) and I think this case really gives the N1 a similar feel, especially the back. Kinda wish I got black though. My only complaint is that the camera lens almost protrudes further than the case, making me anal about scratching the lens.

I ordered 2 off of ebay..I probably shouldnt have i havent had very good luck with screen sheilds off there. Never seem to fit correctly. It would be pretty sweet if switcheasy would make some cases like they have put so many towards the dam iphone. I wouldnt mind paying 30 bucks for a good case that comes with all the goodies like the iphones do.. (headphone plug, dock plug, 2 screen sheilds, video stand and microfiber)
Now that would be nice!

I wouldnt mind paying 30-40 for a switcheasy. I had the rebel serpent, the speck candyshell, and the incase slider for my iphone. I have my eyes on one of the innocase ones for the N1. Also i cant remember the other one on there it has the incase slider form factor going on its pretty cool.

Heres the link to the listing. Its pretty nice and seems like it will protect good and also slide in and out of the pocket easily.

SMOKE CK Crystal Skin Case Google Nexus 1 One Accessory - eBay (item 260541091941 end time Jan-27-10 14:28:07 PST)

Lets see your cases you bought!


I've had that for a couple days now. It's slightly thicker than I thought it would be (making the width feel about like a naked iphone). More protection, but I don't like the thickness (it's not huge or anything; I was just expecting thinner).

The look is OKAY. I'm not thrilled about it, but it's more important to me to be able to throw my phone around than to have it look good.

It is slightly more rubbery/siliconey than I thought. It doesn't slide around very easily on most surfaces, and it feels good in-hand, but it also slides in and out of pockets easily (even pretty tight jeans). I wouldn't use it if it didn't.
