I had it on like for a week then removed it out for two reasons:

1. It makes the phone feel a little bit too warm esp. when using Wi-Fi, playing games, charging battery etc.

2. It collects dust near the screen edges and its hard to wipe them out.

I also have read somewhere that it may scratch the phone so I applied Best Skins Ever on the back cover before using the case. And when I took the case out, there were some scratches on the BSE on the top/bottom corners but I don't know if it will really scratch the plastic cover if it was put on naked.

However, it DOES looks nice and greatly improves the grip of the phone and makes me feel the phone is a lot tougher than naked.
[Nexus S Accessories] afma_afma:
I had this on mine for a week....I see no scratches on my phone when I took the case off...
[Nexus S Accessories] Nexus MC:
I think it depends on how u put it on. I try to avoid the larger area to slide around too much when putting the case on
[Nexus S Accessories] Makiaveli22:
case

I got the case for £2.50 provides loads of protection to the phone.
[Nexus S Accessories] Master™:
Bought the case a few days ago. Looks great in the pic. (Can't wait to get it)
[Nexus S Accessories] dman777:
hmm...interesting point. heat is the enemy of electronics and no since in cooking your phone. but wouldn't this be with any case(an actual case...not those peel and stick film protectors)?
[Nexus S Accessories] Random Select:
Haven't had any issues with scratches but I'm sure as hell happy I had this case on when someone knocked the phone out of my hand and it fell down about six feet onto concrete. Phone came out fine and I can thank the case for protecting it.

I'd take protection from accidental drops over a few potential scratches (I haven't noticed any so far) when putting the case onto the phone. The phone is very slippery without a case and the added grip and protection this case provides makes the purchase worth it.
[Nexus S Accessories] alexcinci:
Mine arrived on past 12th and loving it. Better than the purple one from best buy, definitely.

Plus: I bought the pack with 6 screen protectors and style, did anyone tryed the screen protectors? is it good? ... I have th einvisible shield and took those as future spares...
[Nexus S Accessories] winx14:
the case fits well with a body skin on. the headphone jack was misaligned at first, but then i put the phone back in, bottom first.

i noticed the glossy part scratches easily. i guess better on an 8 dollar case than a 530 dollar phone.
[Nexus S Accessories] mac227:
scratches

Can anyone post pictures of the "damage" this "s" curved case has done to the back of the NS. I want to get this case but you guys have frightened me away from getting it. Im beginning to think a solid black TPU case is the way to go now, even though the s case looks good.
[Nexus S Accessories] Nexus MC:
they are very minimal fine scartches that's even hard to see to be honest.

I feel it wouldn't matter if you get a solid black TPU case.

But what I found is to gently start from the bottom and slide it slowly until you get to the top. They will slide right in easily.

For me I am planning to get that OEM $15 battery cover once it is available. I had a scarcth on mine already from "cleaning/wiping" it with a glass cloth. Go figure LOL

If anything, if you have a those skin protector, that will help.

But I got the TPU case in solely protecting the NS from accidental drops and avoiding cracking the plastics or worst the screen. But no one can't avoid cracking the screen if it falls awkwardly or it hits something that's protruding.

I'll try to post the fine scratches on mine when I get home.
[Nexus S Accessories] winx14:
might be a bit overkill, but i put a bestskinsever on the back before i put the case on. still fits fine.
[Nexus S Accessories] mac227:
So these minimal scratches the "s" case is causing is from putting the case on annd taking it off? And Your saying the same would happen with a solid or argyle case? I figured the transitions lines from the matte black to the gloss black on the "s" case was the culprit of the scratches so a solid case wouldn't scratch it
[Nexus S Accessories] mac227:
as for the bestskinever i might get it for the back to protect my phone from the case, but does this work well for the screen also or is it not worth getting. How thick is this "skin" anyway?
[Nexus S Accessories] winx14:
it's one of the better screen protectors and a great company. i apparently applied mine incorrectly and scratched it, and they sent me a replacement for free.

it's like paper thin. check the bse thread. someone posted pics of it.
[Nexus S Accessories] hutzdani:
DON'T BUY THIS CASE!!!!

1. adds loads of bulk to the phone

2. The fit is Super Tight you really have to stretch it on !

3. the volume buttons are impared by the case, as the plastic is so thick when you press down on either up or down volume, once you release it the opposite side of the volume gets pressed as the case goes back to its original shape, causing turning volume to max or off if you dont press exactly at the top end of each button.

4. The case is super thick stuff, great if you want a bomb proof phone its Over Kill if you ask me ( compared to previous cases )

5. Due to the case tightness there is a notable lack of volume from the handset when used in loudspeaker mode, i geuss pressing down on the case stops vibrations from around the speaker but then causing them not to bounce about and give a loud sound, its like listening to a party through a keyhole in a door.
[Nexus S Accessories] mac227:
Im assuming this applies to all TPU cases?

SO then which type of case should I get?
[Nexus S Accessories] CB620:
I want it but I dont see the point if it scratches the phone while inside.

http://www.amazon.com/Matte-Black-F...sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=mobile&qid=1299027773&sr=8-1

Amazon has the matte ones.
[Nexus S Accessories] hutzdani:
he chats massive Dog Doo, if he even looked at this phone he would be aware that NFC is a in the back cover, two metal pins press on a copper surface embedded in the back cover, bloody Internet noobs trying to inform people on matters they know nothing about.
[Nexus S Accessories] MaliceOmega:
wow talk about a really bad review. i have to say i dont agree. i ordered this case when this post first went up and i am loving it.

ill admit the tightness is an issue but i barely ever have to do a battery pull unless i do a bad flash or something.

the power button is an issue at first but after about a week of use i was able to press the power button with no issues.

the sound quality is exactly the same whether the case is on or off. ive literally measured the decibel level from 2 feet away with both case on and off and virtually no change

its not thick in the slightest. it feels like its part of the phone (one of the reasons i dont mind the tightness) its like putting skinny jeans on a curvy chic, you dont know how she got em on but it looks sexy as hell lol

and ive never personally had an issue with the volume buttons in the slightest. still just as responsive with or without the case

if your looking for moderate protection with very little bulk, nice grip, and attractive at the same time then id say this is a great buy. your nexus will be happy
[Nexus S Accessories] Nexus MC:
+1

Although I have the matte one, it was tight initially, but it now conformed to the NS
[Nexus S Accessories] hutzdani:
No really dude the case is horrible, yes i have the same case.

Yes its caused small scratches on the back cover.

Its super tight.

Its causing problems with the volume buttons, i use my phone for work and since I have used this case the volume keeps lowering and boosting while in use, its caused me problems hearing important calls.

Its thick as hell, the case as measured by a micrometer is just a smudge over 3mm thick.

I have had no problems with the power button, tho strangely and no problems with USB / Mic / Headphone port non-alignment with the case.

And i don't believe that the sound is the same for you with the case and with out its impossible, or you where in a noise environment ( ambient noise / white noise ) or you have rubbish hearing and can't tell the difference.

I had a case on my Desire and it was 100 times better than this case, the problem with this case is its too tight ( hell even the reviews of it say be carful when putting it on as it could Pop / Crack your screen ) it should be a little softer in material also, not by much mind. just so its supple enough to get on over the edges without having to use so much force to stretch and apply the case.

However i did dispose of my case in a fitting manner, i chucked it out somewhere on the m25 and i think it survived, i really can't recomend this case to anyone, yes it does its job but its simply too tight a fit too thick, not supple enough and caused me problems in call.

yeah okay its cheep so go buy it if you work in trades or something, but if you work in an office or low risk job don't bother, put it in a case or sock thing.

But then again after all this is said, i ordered mine from play.com in the UK and it could be a copy cat product and be made of different materials. . . . who knows, but still i still think the case does more things wrong than it does right, simply because of scratches its caused, hell the screen side is always in my pocket or face up on my desk or sat in the van and it has less to tiny small scratches than the back side now does.
[Nexus S Accessories] CB620:
I dont know what to do....lol. im looking for a gel case/ this case because i want to stir away from hard cases.
[Nexus S Accessories] jayvo:
I bought this case, used it for one week and took it off to replace it with a full body skin from Best Skins Ever. It did indeed leave a couple minor scratches on the back of my phone. I know it did, because my phone was 3 days old when I received it and I take OCD care of my stuff.

the couple scratches are very minor and you can barely even see them, but they are there. Needless to say, this case is now in the garbage.
[Nexus S Accessories] CB620:
well that confirms it. ill pass. ill stick with my hard case. phone still looks new.

Does anyone have this? can someone post pics of this case please? :)
[Nexus S Accessories] CB620:
check through the post there are plenty of pictures.
[Nexus S Accessories] maldiluna:
I received mine 2 days ago. It went on easily (crack your screen? Com' on, it's made of silicon not of marble), the volume buttons work perfectly, the hold button is harder to press, but nothing terrible. I feel the phone is well protected now, plus it has a nice grip and looks totally awesome.

As for the scratches, I'll check those when I'll remove it.

A minus I noticed is that the phone turns really hot, I mean, it used to get hot even before, but now I could use it as a hand warmer.

I guess this is because I use it as a car navigator with 3g, bluetooth, and gps turned on while the battery is charging. It just hope it won't melt :)
[Nexus S Accessories] Gaurav.Stallion:
I meant pics of the clear case :)
[Nexus S Accessories] SubyWill:
I just got this case today and I love it! It's a nice tight fit and protects the phone quite well. It looks real good and I don't have problems with the buttons. I love it for the price!
[Nexus S Accessories] uzavideoman:
Okay anybody that ordered this in the us how long did it take for you two get it because mine shipped on feb.21 nothing yet so i was wondering how long did it take for you guys!!!!!
[Nexus S Accessories] horatiopositronic:
Mine took long enough that i contacted the seller to ask where it was after about a month and they sent a replacement. Both of the ones they sent arrived yesterday.
[Nexus S Accessories] CB620:
i gave in and got the case. smh i know i know. hopefully the turnout is good. should get it this friday.

[Nexus S Accessories] CB620:
can you post pics i just ordered one and i want to see if it looks ok with the cutout buttons.
[Nexus S Accessories] hicksology:
I also cut out the buttons, but it was a pretty rough job. When I get home I will try and see if I can smooth it out with a lighter. Before I try, anyone know if TPU is flammable? :o

When/If I survive, I will post pictures.
[Nexus S Accessories] horatiopositronic:
Got mine a couple of days ago. I like the fit in general, and it feels a lot more like it is part of the phone than the Seidio case. I'm getting used to the power button, but the volume buttons are still a little more wonky than I would like. Not unusable, but sometimes they stick and cause the volume to go all the way up or down.
[Nexus S Accessories] x4-FAo:
Which seido case?
[Nexus S Accessories] hutzdani:
Here is the case with the buttons removed from the case, solving the button pressing issuses.

Sorry for the low Quality i had to take the image son my Laptops web cam :-(

The case is made from very weird material, i had issues getting a clean cut with a craft knife, i ended up using a Surgeons knife

i recommend a super sharp blade to do a neat job, i did this in a few mins just for the sake of uploading
[Nexus S Accessories] CB620:
looks pretty good. according to the seller i shall have my case on fri. ill try the case and see if it need to do any cutting. thanks for the pics
[Nexus S Accessories] CB620:
First impressions of s shape case. :-)

case came two days early i highly recommend this seller. case is real sexy lol. power button is stiff but ill work with it and break it in. volume doesnt toggle up/down in calls. the grip of the phone is way better than before. still notice the curve display. snug secure fit, easy to get in if you start bottom part first. ill report back if it gets hot during wifi/charging as well as if it leaves scratches on the battery cover. ordered a full body protection as well waiting for that to come. but all in all the case seems perfect to me if i notice anything ill report back to everyone.

had wifi, bluetooth, and charging going all at once for a hour straight didnt experience any heating. perfect case. will report back about supposed scratches that are left from case.
[Nexus S Accessories] CB620:
I Disagree.

i can confirm that i have none of these problems. i would say take it up with the seller. my seller shipped fast and the case fits perfect no heating. no bulk, its pretty much perfect. yea the power button is stiff but after a few screen on and off presses it will be broken in. i would rather break in the smoothness than having something already pre beat up when it gets to me.
[Nexus S Accessories] CB620:
dont have any issues with the home button being pressed. might be the cut of your case.

I still have that extra "S" TPU case for sale. $5 shipped in US from CA
[Nexus S Accessories] lugo389:
i bought this case off of amazon back in december, and i must say its the nicest looking case ive seen on a phone & i work at a cell phone retailer. Mine came with a stylus and 6 screen protectors. The stylus was a nice added bonus, and it actually worked. Bummed i lost it on the first day tho, wouldve been great for my Galaxy Tab. And the screen protectors are the same quality u get from the packs in the store.

But back to the case... it shipped in a clear plastic bag wrapped in a piece of cardboard, so i assumed the case would be cheap quality. WRONG! definitely better than i expected. Ive had it for a goo 3 months now and i can say ive had no issues. For those asking what the texture is like, its just like the "flex fit" cases u find in the store. The pictures really dont help, uve got to feel it. It fits like a glove. Best thing is it doesnt stretch out like a gel skin. I can stretch it as much as i want and it goes back to its regular shape. Id say its the goldilocks of case. right between a hard case and gel skin.

The volume and lock buttons take a little breaking in, but its nothing like people are stressing it on here. no issues with the charger port or headphone jack either. everything is fully functional. Only thing ive noticed, and idk if it was happening before i got the case, but the back of the phone doesnt seem to get hot, only the screen. It gets very warm, and im running stock 2.3.3 no root or overclock.

Only thing i would suggest, if u get this or any case.. remove the case every once in a while and wipe out the dust and dirt inside of it. The case cant scratch ur phone, but that will!

I hate having cases on my phone, but i love this! If u have a NXS buy this!

hope this helps
[Nexus S Accessories] CB620:
What he said.
[Nexus S Accessories] CB620:
My screen doesn't get hot.
[Nexus S Accessories] Nexus MC:
It's a habit of mine do do it after a week. I've had the case for over a month now and there are no additional "VERY MINOR" scratches. I got most of the scratches from wiping/cleaning from very fine dusts.

My phone gets hot when I use it for 1 to 2 hrs straight browsing the net or playing + listening to music. it does it too without the case.

The best part about this case, is that I can set the phone on any surface, without having to worry about scraping the bexel or the battery cover.

It is very slim and also curves with the phone.
[Nexus S Accessories] eyals76:
I have this case for a week now and I am pleased with it.

It was a little hard to put on at first, but it feels great, the power button was indeed a little problematic at first but it got better fast, never had any issues with the volume control.

Great case and I am have a great time know my nexus with is also only a week old :D

Still got lots to learn seeing how this is my first smart/android phone.
[Nexus S Accessories] CB620:
Everything is within the forum so be careful and have fun.
[Nexus S Accessories] alexcinci:
I bought this S shaped case, with the stylus and screen protectors.

-Didn´t think that makes my phone hotter (uhh, ahh)

-Didn´t scratch the back cover (more than was :P)

-It has very strong handle and feel

-I droped once with the case and the protection really worked

-Better than the purple one from best buy

That´s it, simple, functional and nice
[Nexus S Accessories] CB620:
Agreed
[Nexus S Accessories] CB620:
They now have them in fully clear, instead of half clear half matte.

[Nexus S Accessories] Finom:
I bought one of these a while back; they're a Godsend.

I dropped my phone one morning and thought "%*$# there goes 600 bucks" but the case protected it.

It doesn't work too well with a Zagg shield but who cares as long as the phone lives. I bought an incredible shield since the reviews were better so I'll post on that once its installed.
[Nexus S Accessories] Master™:
Came today, looks amazing :)
[Nexus S Accessories] CB620:
Put ghost armor on and had to squeeze it in the case. Works perfect though. Ultimate protection.
[Nexus S Accessories] solrac.dc:
Nice looking case

Got sold on the sleek design of this and where I live I'm sure to be the only one styling this case. :D
[Nexus S Accessories] Finom:
I got the SGH incredible shield (screen only) on Saturday. Looks and fits well with this case.
[Nexus S Accessories] CB620:
i get alot of compliments on my case. i tell them its the official s case. lol. many people probably ran to best buy to find it.
[Nexus S Accessories] hkt03:
received mine off ebay today.. feels great, having no issue hitting the power button. The only issue I have is that the last corner of the phone I wiggle into the case seems to get the least amount of the case itself. The case still protects and covers that corner but its not as snug fitting as the three other corners of the phone.. minor issue but other than that its a great case for the money.
[Nexus S Accessories] CB620:
Waiting for my clear one.
[Nexus S Accessories] Vandam500:
I just ordered it thru Amazon. Can't wait for it to get here so I can stop worrying about dropping this phone lol.

I present you, the Boxwave DuoSuit.

http://www.boxwave.com/products/duosuit/samsung-nexus-s-duosuit_4104.htm

Yeah, you're not seeing things. It actually exists. $20 for something that can be bought much cheaper from other sources.

Oh, and to update my OPINION on this case, the power button never "breaked in" for me. I don't know if that's the right wording, but it still feels a bit stiff unlike the volume buttons which is easy to press.
[Nexus S Accessories] Carlis:
I have one for my slcd nexus s ( phone is little bigger then samoled ver ,like 1mm in h an w ) and its shapes after some days so its now really easy to slip in and out the phone.

I hated the power and volume protections so I just cut them off.

Keys that press to easy and don't give a pressing feeling is no go.

They now is easy to press but I don't press them by accident.

Happy camper :))
[Nexus S Accessories] CB620:
Just got my clear one too bad in selling my nexus s now.
[Nexus S Accessories] Evanghelion:
I have the S case, it's really good and doesn't chenge the style of our Nexus, so I appreciate it very much.
[Nexus S Accessories] Connection S:
Clear shape e-bay page says

I read people had to cut holes for the buttons out by self in the opaque case, can anyone confirm that this one doesn't have the same problem?

Thanks!
[Nexus S Accessories] beiker44:
great case at a good price...looking to get this one when I get my nexus S
[Nexus S Accessories] knytphal:
Not sure about the clear version, but I have the opaque case and did not have to cut holes for the buttons. At first it does take a little bit of extra pressure to push them but after awhile it becomes just as easy as without the case.
[Nexus S Accessories] hutzdani:
Well this might be a bit of a bump, but been using my case for ages now ( i cut out buttons volume & power )

After a lot of use ( i work in Broadcasting industry, phone calls left right and centre ) the phone has been dropped afew times from missing my pocket / from open bag, it protects great not a scratch.

I remove the case from the handset when i go to the office, i fail to see why people say it hardly adds any bulk to the phone, its utter rubbish.

If you put the phone in your pocket with the case on you you really can feel the extra bulk against your leg, and also if you use the case on the phone while texting and calling and then remove the case the phone feels alot slimmer.

I picked out my Calipers and measured :

Original Dia's - + Case Dia's

Width = 63.0 mm VS 65.7mm

Lenght = 123.9mm VS 125.3mm

Depth = 10.8mm VS 11.4mm

There is a definite bulk added to this handset with this case

After several months of use i'd give it a 6/10 because it adds noticeable bulk to the phone in use and when in the pocket and i had to cut the buttons out.

But gives amazing protection for the price and shipping fast and cheap.
[Nexus S Accessories] 1stGenRex:
there is no that WON'T add bulk. Even the clear skins "add bulk", if you're gonna complain about "adding bulk". I've had this case for about 3-4 weeks, and it's really not that big of a change...I have a zagg full body kit and this case on the phone because I'm very picky about having scratched gadgets that I use all the time.
[Nexus S Accessories] suksit:
Try removing the case and use your phone naked for 10 minutes -- you'll know what they mean :D
[Nexus S Accessories] 1stGenRex:
oh, I get that. Trust me, I do, but try dropping your naked phone from waist, or even knee height, and I'll drop mine with the case :p
