When did you order your Nexus !, Im going to order mine on Thursday and just want to see how long its going to take to get to me.

I ordered mine at like 5am central on Friday the 26th and it shipped that day. To bad their overnight delivery doesn't include weekends.

I fit in the category of owning cases for a phone I do not have yet. (Waiting for the Verizon N1)

I normally do not like phone cases. I want to be able to slide my phone into a dock and I also have a proclip mount for my car. However I still feel the need to have a case when I go out. After reading many reviews I purchased a Case Mate Tough case. I also have a Seidio Innocase II for more everyday use. I feel that the Seidio will allow me to easily remove the case for dock and holder mounting, while eliminating the need for an invisible shield type film for the back and sides. I also have a screen protector from ForeverFitters. ForeverFitters seem to have the same quality as the more expensive screen protectors at a fraction of the price. I also prefer this type of screen protector over the sticky feeling, orange peel invisible shield type.

I'll be able to post my findings once I actually get my phone.

To those of you using the sleeve the N1 comes with: Do you keep the phone in the sleeve in your pocket? Isn't that a bit of a hassle to get out when you need it?

I am using the Case-mate tough. Nice case.

I'm using the Blue Harbor belt holster that I was using for my iPhone. It fits perfectly!

Be prepared to damage your device.

This just came in the mail today and I'm very happy with it. I got an all black case. I know my device is going to stay scratch free and in mint condition. It's a silicone and hard rubber hybrid combination, comes in two pieces and adds little bulk.

Wrong. I carry my N1 unprotected in my pocket and have carried all of my prior phones (including 3 different iPhones over 3 years) this way and have had ZERO problems and ZERO scratches. You just need to use some common sense... If you make sure it's the only thing in your pocket and don't carry change / keys in the same pocket it will be just fine.

Good point but I remember reading a while back that the nexus one shouldn't be in your pocket because the screen cracks. I don't know how true that is though. Another thing is you can prevent your keys from sharing the same pocket with your phone but you can't prevent sand. That does damage to the screen.

Was about to say something similar. I've had iPhones since September '08 and never used a case and my phone was always fine.

That was one freak story. I've heard more cases about iPhones blowing up than nexus screens breaking. **** just happens sometimes.

Do you keep it in your pocket or on your belt? If you keep it in your pocket does the case allow the phone to slide in and out easily? I have an Otter box on my iPhone and while it's a great case it's a pain at times to get out of my pocket.

Could of been I'm not gonna argue that but sand and glass still don't mix

As per a suggestion of another forum member I ordered two Clarivue screen protectors; one for the Nexus One (a phone I don't have yet) and one for my iPod Touch.

I recently shied away from the Invisible Shield type screen protectors. I wanted something clearer and more smooth to the touch. Clarivue seemed to fit those needs albeit a tad more expensive than other alternatives, (ForeverFitters comes to mind.)

So onto the installation to my iPod Touch. Install was much easier than Invisible Shield. No application spray needed. Since Clarivue is hard, (not rubbery/stretchy like the Invisible Shield) lining up the protector was a simple.

My only complaint is that Clarivue's protectors are slightly undersized. This is even stated on their website. I understand their reasoning for this but it feels unnecessary.

Conclusion: Initially the Clarivue felt very tacky when sliding a finger across the screen. I found a quick cleaning with lens/window cleaner made it smooth as glass. Another downside of this type of protector is they scratch very easily. This is why most brands send you two or more protectors. Overall I'm happy with this product but will try ForeverFitters' offering soon as they appear to be the exact same product at a fraction of the cost.
