Yeah, you got ripped off. There are better cases for less on Amazon.

Wife and I both bought a nexus s but those cases were a rip, we payed $5 a piece for ours on ebay and I think i still might have overpaid cause i saw packs of 5 colors going for $10

I didn't like the one case bestbuy had so I'm going to wait a day or two and see some reviews lets hope I don't drop it in the meantime.

i went with the invisible shield dry install. i dont mind the feel like so many others do so its not biggie for me but the phone doesnt increase in size at all. I might grab a kickstand case at some point but not sure yet. But im loving the size. Two more weeks til i can put it on my account then ill prob be selling my epic. I will miss the game gripper though

Has anyone pulled the trigger on the Incipio Feather Case? I know the rep said it wasn't made for/wouldn't fit the Nexus S 4G, but I want him to be wrong. My crappy TPU-like case from Amazon is way to tight and is causing issues with the power button (Hard to press the power button, way to easy to press the volume buttons). So I think that 1mm might be enough to give me this issue.

Sweet. I might just order it, need a case on this thing, feels too light. I saw on Phandroid that the Seidio Rep posted something about cases for the S 4G. Item code is the same as for the regular S, so i'm thinking/hoping, this should be the same for most case manufacturers.

edited down from post i made in another thread:

nexus is 7.2mm too wide for atrix case, otherwise, it'd fit.

124.0 x 63.0 x 11 mm Nexus
117.8 x 63.5 x 11 mm Atrix

If you look at Sprint's page for the Nexus S 4G and Google's page for the Nexus S, the dimensions are identical except the Nexus S 4G weighs 2 grams more than the Nexus S.

I recall reading in an Engadget hands-on post at CTIA that the Nexus S 4G was .3 mm thicker than the original, which is the thickness of a business card. That same post however noted that the Nexus S 4G hardware was not final.

Based on what I'm seeing, I think it's fair to assume that most, if not all, Nexus S cases will fit the Nexus S 4G. I look forward to everyone's impression of the Incipio Feather Case in the near future as that will likely be my choice.

If I do anything it will be a ZAGG for the screen surface. I think it really needs it for glare alone, let alone protection. I can hardly read it in sunlight.

Zagg is WAY overrated! Ghost armor is the way to go. Much smoother, no yellowing effect, and lasts longer IMO.
