Two Great Cases for Less Than $10 Total

---

Just picked up both of these cases, and I'm very impressed with the build quality and styling of both. Very well produced pieces and they fit perfectly. The black gel case isn't a dust magnet like most others, and the clear case looks really sweet (if you like that kind of look), preserving the overall look and color of the N1, and protecting it from drops and scrapes. Total cost was under $10!

Nice. Yeah, I forgot to mention that the clear plastic case came with a belt clip (which I don't use) and a screen protector too. I don't use the screen protector either. Is there any need for one with the Nexus? Isn't it scratch resistant?

I think you should still keep it on there just in case. I'm waiting on my clear case with the screen protector. For the mean time, I had an iPhone screen protector lying around, I cut the top and bottom and temporarily use that as a screen protector.

The clear case is sweet. Love mine.

Overly Excessive Screen Test


looks pretty scratch resistant to me

its rumored to be made of gorilla glass, which is sensitive to aluminum

i just keep the phone in its neoprene pouch it came with

infact i would wager that any screen protector you put on the screen will scratch much easier than the screen itself would.

thats probably true, but at least the scratch won't be on the actual screen..

My phone fell off my lap the other week, onto some road. Small chip in the frame, the screen cover was scratched to all hell, i suspect a fall strong enough to chip the metal could be enough to chip the glass. So i think i was lucky to have the screen protector on.

I've had an issue with hardcases not wanting to snap shut if you have a protective skin on the phone(like a bestkinever, invisible shield, etc), so a word of warning. I picked up a few gelli cases on the cheap though, and they work great.
