Switching from Blackberry 9900 - Cases?

[canusaybimmy]

Hey everyone,

Looking to get the nexus. Have a couple of small questions:

1. How's the typing on the nexus (virtual keyboard). Very used to a keyboard and wondering what other people think of the keyboard. I have tried out the keyboard in the galaxy s2 and it's decent. It isn't a physical obviously, but not too bad at all. Wondering what other people think.

2. Cases Cases Cases - With my 9900 I used an otterbox commuter and loved the way I never had to worry about dropping the phone. I'm wondering if this phone scratches easily. Do I need a case? If so, case suggestions? Is the otterbox commuter for this phone recommended?

Any info would be great. I will continue to search throughout these forums as I am new to the android realm. Thanks everyone.

I came from the 9900 where I also was used to the keyboard. But I have to say typing on this phone is great and i often forget its a virtual keyboard. I'm using the stock keyboard for now but the market has many replacement keyboards for customization. I don't use any cases so can't help you with that. But check out the gnex accessory section

Sounds great.

Are you noticing any scratches occurring without a case? Like having ur keys in the same pocket as the phone etc.
