Hi guys,
Could you do me a favor and vote (here) on the case mate feedback site so they make a Vroom case for the Desire.
They already make one for the Nexus One (here) but I don't think it fits for the Desire.
[EDIT] Please post a response if you voted so this thread stays alive!
[EDIT2]You can also vote for other cases here
Voted, but i would prefer:
http://www.case-mate.com/Google-Cases/Case-Mate-Google-Nexus-One-Tough-Cases.asp
looks nicer IMO, Do we think that with the incl screen protected and case combo, we can rule out the potential dust issue?
sweet case! (voted)

I think the Tough Case will be too thick for me, I really just want a thin silicone case so it doesn't wander around when vibrating...

I voted, but I still like the Tough Case. As far as silicone cases go, did you see the Gelli case? -

I posted this in the accessory forum, but there is a guy on eBay named e-story. He sells sell pretty good, tight fitting silicone cases. This is the one he has for the Nexus -

Note:
The skin decal I am using is a gel skin that has a nice glossy 3D effect that can only really be truly appreciated in person. It looks spectacular! Trust me. And it feels very comfortable to hold, which is always a plus thanks to the gel. All of my personally owned devices are skinned, and I highly recommend the gel skins over the other choices because they look great and feel fantastic.

If you have any questions or would like to comment on something, please feel free to do so. Share your opinion, let me know what you think. I'm more than happy to help out with anything that I can. And, if you have found this thread useful: don't forget to give me a thanks.
Happy Xooming!
If I'm getting a skin, I'd want it because it's thin. The "gel" skin would just be annoying to me, especially because it would get in the way of fitting cases over it.
I've used skins from gelaskins (gelaskins.com) in the past and I was extremely satisfied. They also offer customized skins but have a lot of designs available from various artists. I'm probably going to be getting a skin type cover and I'll probably be ordering from gelaskins since I've had great experiences with them on my past devices.
Btw. You seem to like final fantasy. A lot.

Indeed I do like Final Fantasy as it is my favorite RPG series of all time, and it has been since the original. So as my favorite series in the whole world, I like to represent. Ya know what I mean? It's really no different than people who obsess over their favorite sports teams. Lol.
And I hear ya about wanting a thin device. The other 2 choices I listed for my examples are thin, adding zero bulk. The gels skins will add some bulk yes because of the gel, but the point of a skin decal is to look good while protecting the device all at the same time. The skins make your devices smudge proof, scratch proof, and nearly damage proof for the average consumer, especially for the gel skins because they are a little thicker and will hold up better.
If you do get a skin, please put it up here for us. Would love to see what kind of design you will cook up for your Xoom.

That skin is hilarious. Looks just like the late 80's trapper keepers I used to rest my head on while sleeping in class.

Hmm... I do not know of a UK version for this website, sorry man. But, I have an alternative if you would like. You can't make your own skins, but it has a decent selection of designs that you can choose from.

DecalGirl is pretty sweet. It's a very popular and well known site for skins, and it does ship to the UK. I have used it on occasion in the past.
Cheaper skin
I bought this one from ebay for $9.99.
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/180706896713...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_2071wt_1139
Really like it, just wanted something to protect the back from scratches when my Xoom was out of it's case.
Super thin vinyl with a slight faux leather look, check the close up pic at the bottom of the ebay link.

I haven't put the front on yet, waiting for my screen protector to arrives 1st.
I will look like this picture,same material and pattern (with the screen area cut out). The seller has many designs, i like the dragon one because it's pretty understated.
These are just pics from the gelaskins website (better than anything I'd end up taking), but this is what I got for mine:
I usually have my leather portfolio case on, but it's nice to have a little protection if I ever have it out or if something might possibly scratch it while in the case.
I also got this for my atrix:
Edit: I was just browsing the gelaskins website and it would seem they changed their website set up. They have some art that they have pre-designed the layout for the devices and others allow you to use the artwork in their create your own process. When you select the device, they have some categories off to the side and it starts with the most popular... I just wanted to point out that they have more artwork because I'd hate for someone to miss a design they like more than what shows up in the most popular.

Anyone know if any leather belt clip holsters will fit with this bumper?
I've had my SPIGEN tempered glass on for a few weeks now and I must say its pretty irritating because of all the dust on the sides of the glass protector itself.

nice review. this is only my personal opinion, but i feel like this expensive bumper doesnt provide much protection other than making the s3 look a lil different.
anyways.
LMAO @ your nail comment. literally, laughed out loud.

Nice review! Looks pretty solid, but I'm wondering if you have dropped it yet. If you have, has there been any noticeable damage on the bumper?

Hey guys,
I have heard a lot of positive things about the Nillkin Cases.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=321095152464&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123
I ordered the black one. Slim and grippy. Had one on my One X and Nexus 4.
I also ordered a metallic blue ROCK case; slim as well, and looks absolutely gorgeous.

Seriously why waste space posting a new thread to ask a question like that? What colour depends on your personal preference... Theres a whole thread for cases and many have experience with the Nilkin case. Contrast to what you have said, people have said that has is slippy and not grippy.

I'm usually opposed to opening unnecessary threads, but there are a lot of people in the case thread asking/posting about it and its nearly impossible to sort through 60+ pages to find information about one case. Discussions also get lost in there.
It's extremely counter-intuitive to have one case about 100 different cases... Especially since this is an accessories sub-forum... so...

Do a search from within the thread for nilkin and I am sure u will get what you want. Tbh asking what color to get is like I said, based on taste and preference. As you said the thread is 'one thread with 100 different cases', but then there is probably only a handful of people with that specific case. You've opened a thread,to get those few people to tell you which colour to get....
Will this case catch in my pocket?
I've had the black nillkin case for a couple of weeks. I imported from a Chinese wholesaler.
I've used nillkin for a lot of my phones and the quality of this is top notch. Excellent fit and doesn't catch at all. Mines a silver HTC one as well and looks really good.
