G1 Hard Case+Clip

[airinnajera]

So I was wondering what kind of hard case to get, i had been searching throughout the stores online looking for a nice hard case and so i found one on Ebay for 7.99 and i decided to go for it, especially since i got the white G1, i thought i would show off its sexiness...I got it in 3-4 days ago?? Here are some pics...

so heres what I like about it.

Pros:
-Its a nice, solid clear case, easy to put on, not hard to take off, it isn't shaky, loose, fits snug.
-It doesn't block the micro SD slot, doesn't hinder you from typing, nor pushing the home, send, end call, and back button or using the trackball.
-The clip, i can clip it to anything, and as you see form the pics, i use it as a kick stand :)
-Its clear! So i don't have to put on that clear sticky, invisible shield that looks like crap...honestly, that invisible shield for the whole phone looks bad, especially when you mess up a little putting it on...(just my opinion and no offense to the other G1 users who have it)...and then you gonna have to take it off and you cant put it back on....with the clear hard case, i can take it on or off anytime i want without it getting ruined :)
-That little spiral thing on the back...YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE IT ON...it doesn't screw into the phone or anything so don't worry, it screws onto the case and you only use it if your gonna use the clip :)

Cons:
-The clip is kinda loose, and since the G1 is big...it kinda looks weird when its just hanging there haha...but its not like i NEED to clip it on my pants...or belt loop...i clip it to my car, or pocket, or folder..ya haha
-Cons...nothing :)

Overall: I hope this was helpful to you, seeing pics and what not...umm for 7.99...i would say its worth it, i feel confident in my case, keeping my G1 safe :)

Awww...

*Nice!

do you have trouble opening the dust cover (on the bottom) for headset or charger with this clear case on?

hmmm....not gonna lie...it doesnt hinder you at all. It might seem like it does but its pretty well cut out so you can open it with no problems.

...just as a side note...i took off that little spiral thing on the back cuz i got annoyed by the clip so ya, it still is awesome, i have dropped my phone 3 times so far and that case is definitely doing its job!

[l0uisz]

where did you buy that case bro?

nice review on it id like to buy it for 8 bucks who can go wrong? =)

My G1 is too naked with just the pouch case it came with =/ lol.

[l0uisz]

well i bought one from ebay myself from this seller i expect it sometime next week =].

ebay is awesome! Ya. def good for a cheap case, every now and then i will take it off to use the pouch or just use the G1 by itself because its def a lil thicker with the case(obviously) but ya

[DaYuMu6ft7]

I keep my Body Glove case on the phone (I just undo the clip from the back)

And Yes! it thickens the phone (but the grip is comfortable) compared to not having nothing on the phone.

[l0uisz]

Ill always keep the case on just take it off when iam gunna clean from any dust particles that's about it:)

[tonyeng4ine]

Great find! I just ordered mine so I cant wait.. The case that I've been using is just a nylon holster with velcro and had 2 different ways to keep to your belt, 1st is a metal clip and the 2nd is your standard slid your belt thru thing :rolleyes: Its perfect for when I'm working cause it blends into my uniform :D

[airinnajera]

what would have been nice was if the case that came with the G1 had a little plastic clip on the back to just simply clip on a belt, kinda like a money clip thing. Then i would have been set. i love th black G1 case sep i cant just clip it on my pants or pocket. oh well :)

Thanks Lou,

Here it is on the phone, you might have to look close to see it... I have the Bronze so it blends ever so nicely

http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj290/DaYuMu6ft7/Nards010.jpg

These are the 3 different cases I use...

Ooh yea that's neat I see it!

I don't like the middle rubber case does that one actually fit the g1 air tight?

Btw you look like a member of Run .D.M.C oldddd school hahah

[kaysesoze]

dayum -
im playin catchup... i have 2 cases now... ... will takes some pics of them tomorrow with all the batteries and other crap i got for my g1... its 5am right now... and bright lights aint good.. lol

and you finally rooted ya phone...

[DaYuMu6ft7]

Yeah man, I took the plunge the other night

But I still have some other stuff to order, I just keep putting it off

[kaysesoze]

I ordered this one - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330299536436&category=20336&_trksid=p3907.m263&_trkparms=algo%3DSI%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D 15%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D54 and just got it today http://www.spider-foot.com/oem/G1-K-HC.jpg
only thing i dont like is the Heart shape on the back, and using the trackball is a little difficult but you can work with it.

* i dont want to take over this thread with the other items that i ordered that are not related to cases...

[DaYuMu6ft7]

Oh Ok,

That case looks like that seideo case <-- spell check that

But it looks really smooth, how does it feel and fit ?

This is it right here with the clip

I didn't do much research and went straight for this one...

http://www.handhelditems.com/google-crystal-clear-hard-case-g1shield-clear-include-free-screen-protector-p-19826.html

I feel like I'm missing out on not having a clip but whatever, I'm not the "phone clipped to belt" kind of guy.

Used the htcg1access code to pretty much get free shipping.

Problem is, I ordered it on Dec 30 and it still hasn't arrived... site says 2-9 days... gosh!

I don't even know hahah... I finally got my first track and confirm update...

It's finally in Houston and processed. Hopefully by Monday (9th business day)

We can only hope. :mad:

[xdavidn88]

Yeah, whenever I buy stuff from Ebay, it's very fast. Within 5 business days.

But I've only had one bad experience, I bought this like 21 LED flashlight that was supposed to be super bright... and I finally got it but it was super weak... so I complained and nothing. Return policy 10 days, there was no way I was going to return it, shipping would cost me more money then the flashlight!

He gave a very bad product description. :(

aww come ON bro. See now you just NEED to know that you cant buy stuff like that from ebay only like electronics [ systems,games,cellphones and stuff ] and clothing [ only if NEW and not knock offs ] ... you should go to like a home depot or something to buy a product like that.

HEY! i wonder if dave got his stuff? lmao!

[l0uisz]

Are you going to leave the clip on it, and wear it on your belt?

in this case ill leave it on cause when i'am at work and i carry a heavy box for example if i keep it on my pocket it'll like squish my G1 to death. i can side belt it and use my bluetooth ;)

[xdavidn88]

[xdavidn88]

Feels pretty nice. Doesn't have a clip but I was never one to clip my phone to my belt.

kool man glad you got it! so how many days was it in total?

[xdavidn88]

haha like 9 business days... (it said 2-9 days... guess they really like to take their time)

but like 13 real days overall.

Never will I order from their site again. I'm sticking to Amazon and eBay.

Matter of fact, I just ordered a white one from Amazon just like http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f46/i-love-this-white-plastic-case-10079/

I think it looks nice, plus it's cheaper and comes with a belt swivel. $6.82

I don't know why I never looked on Amazon or eBay before... feel so dumb.

And I just sold like $195 of school books the other day on Amazon haha..

ehh it turned out to be not so bad the "clip on hinges" to the back piece @ the bottom by the buttons broke so the only thing holding it tight is the smaller piece right under the buttons lol but it has protected my G1 so far but iam going to look into another case for it.

ahhh dude that sucks!!! i took mine off and put it in my G1 box just in case i decide to use it again, im loving the case, it have dropped it quite a bit and its still perfect, i love it. I still wanna look for a legit case with good clip.

Its very easy to keep safe your case with a soft stuff..As I am using the case of South-pak company...cool quality..
