I'm using a case like this one for my blackberry and I love the ease in which the phone can slide in and out. The magnetic closure still works well after all this time. I'm hoping to find something like it for my Nexus so I can keep it "naked" when I'm actually using it but still not worry about throwing it in my pocket with my car keys.

Those bb
not to be confused with BB
cases are rugged. I got one with my Storm, used it for a year and gave it to my boss who is still using it with his LG Dare after he broke the original plastic holster it came with.

I use a pouch too. There are several options you can find searching on Google. You can't beat a naked phone.

Okay here's the short story: I have a rep who has hooked me up in the past, and we made an agreement...

(S)he calls me as soon as (s)he knows when Nexus is launching and I'll make sure (s)he gets the purchase commission on the phone and some accessories. Not a bad trade, huh?

I got a call on my cell phone tonight from said rep! And Launch Day is:

DECEMBER 8TH!

:D :D :D :D :D

SO I am 99% convinced that - unless Verizon completely botches it - I have 6 days to go and I'll be holding my Beloved Nexus in my hands! WHOOT!

MY bad news is that (s)he doesn't start work until 11AM :eek: :( so I have to wait 2 agonizing hours after they open to buy it! Oh well, more time to play with the demo and pick out my accessories :)

Steven! Where are you?!?!?!?!?!

EDIT: Sorry for yelling ;)
 
I texted my Costco sales person a little while ago.

I told her about the December 8th date we are feeling more and more confident about and she called her general manager and told him about that. She called me back and said that all he would say was "middle of December" but tell your customer "we will definitely have it on launch day if you know what I mean."

The only bad news here is that they cannot sell it until noon on launch day, at the time, I didn't think to ask why.

So, I'll be at Costco mid-morning next Thursday.

Edit: She also said they will have the Rezound very soon, but no bundle with it.

Now I have to decide on a case vs. skin...

I usually prefer my phones nekkid...
not going to say it but you should be able to guess it

...but I always pick up a cheap plastic case for when I go to the bar as myself and my drinking pals and gals get the dropsys (sp) after a few so I like to slap the phone in the case then.

I got a $5 fleabay case for my DX and it saved the phone from potential harm a few times before the tabs all broke off.

Will the phone fit in a case with a skin on it? If it will get both, then you don't have to be decisive. ;)

Yes, I was a big part of the Droid Incredible thread, previously the HTC Passion, for those of you who remember. HAha I am posting this from my Incredible, which is soon to be replaced by a finally WORTHY succesor after hanging in there and being patient, the LTE Galaxy Nexus.

Thank you on the congratulations. I actually moved away from Nashville, Tennessee to South Texas a year ago where I met my amazing wife. We have been married for three weeks tomorrow. My first marriage. I will be 30 on the 14th of this month. So, I was actually very picky and it paid off.

Congratulations everyone. Hopefully we will all be celebrating soon!

Yep, still have my Dinc too. Did you ever Black it out?

I got married later than most my friends and we are coming up on 20 yrs next year. I think you did it right! It's a lot of work - but it's worth it.

Peace.

Exactly. Bars are not good for phones. Has anyone with a TPU case put a skin under it? Think it would fit?

I do! That whole scene was nuts!

this thread is definitely more epic, but between panda poems, multiple bennns, and the whole BestBuy insider thread with jay, the thunderbolt release was pretty crazy. can't believe i've been through this twice now. looks like there are some inc/bionic owners in here that have gone through it all before as well.

Sorry folks, I didn't even ASK about a pre-order date (I was in the doctor's office with a sick kid... but hey: THAT'S a call I had to take!) because I want to pick it up personally.

Wish I could be more help on the pre-order side... but I'm not...

If anything changes, you guys will know about it! :)

It's ok, we appreciate the golden nugget of info you did provide.
