CruzerLite teases upcoming Nexus 4 case

If you’re not happy with the protection that the official bumper case provides for your all-glass Nexus 4, you may be excited to hear that popular case maker, CruzerLite, is gearing up to release their very own Nexus 4 case. The company leaked this teaser shot of what we can expect, and as you can see it’s definitely a design geared toward the Nexus crowd, with microchip details engraved on the back. It looks as though the case has cut outs for all the buttons as well, meaning you wont have to press your buttons through the rubber, which is always a burdensome process. Everything is looking good so far! We’ll have to wait for more details from CruzerLite for now, but hopefully they’ll be releasing the case soon. Clumsy people everywhere, rejoice!

DIY: Custom comic book case for Samsung Galaxy S III

Is that boring solid-color or ubiquitously-designed plastic case just not cutting it anymore? Well, perhaps it’s time to recycle and outfit it with a custom comic book theme.

This do it yourself project stems from the same style of paper mache-like tactics you used in elementary art class. The process is fairly straightforward. Simply cut out your desired pieces of reading material and attach them to your case via Mod Podge application finish. After it sets, just apply some matte or glossy sealer (hair spray works) and, when dry, the end product is a beautiful super-hero themed case not like anything you’d find at an accessory retailer.

Cruzerlite Androidified Clone Army Nexus 7 TPU Case Review

Finding just the right case for my Nexus 7 has been a challenge. I’ve tried the effective and highly flexible, yet very bulky rooCASE, as well as the updated Ultra Slim rooCASE. Both of these serve their purposes well, with the Ultra Slim edging out the original due to its much slimmer profile.

But there is another class of case that I needed to check out. Currently, my phone is an HTC Evo 4G LTE and I’ve been using a Cruzerlite TPU case on that for a while and I love it. TPU stands for Thermoplastic Polyurethane, which is a class of plastic that has many great properties for an electronics case, including elasticity, transparency, oil resistance, and durability. My Evo has never felt so protected.

So when I saw that Cruzerlite was making a TPU case for the Nexus 7, I jumped on it. After spending a couple of weeks using the case, I decided to write up a review with my thoughts. Hit the break for all the details.

rooCASE For Nexus 7 Review

When I got my Nexus 7 from Google I/O, there were no cases available for it, so I started using an old Kindle Fire case that someone donated to me just to get by. The fit was not right, and the elastic corner straps got in the way of the screen at times. Needless to say, it was barely better than no case at all.

So I started checking Amazon and eBay for possible cases to protect my new toy when I came across this interesting case by rooCASE with a very long name: The rooCASE Multi-Angle (Black) Vegan Leather Folio Case Cover for Google Nexus 7 Tablet. Phew! That’s a mouthful!

What interested me the most was that it had a built-in magnetic flap closure that enabled the Nexus 7′s sleep/wake feature. Oh, and also, it only cost $10. Can’t beat that! So I ordered two, one for me and one for my wife (yes, I got her a Nexus 7 as well).

So how do we like it? Read on after the break!

HTC EVO 3D accessories coming to Sprint and Best Buy – video dock, holster and cases

You gotta love when a company make a little tiny change to their products, and its the one change that everyone complains about, forcing the company to plea for your forgiveness by launching other products to help ease the pain. Remember when hotels used to give free Wi-Fi? Well, similarily, if you want a kickstand for your HTC EVO 3D, you’ll need to buy the video dock, one of 3 new official accessories from HTC for the EVO 3D.

Along with the video dock (priced at $49.99), you can also get a phone cover for $19.99, and a Holster with Shield Combo for $24.99. Therefore, if you want the Wi-Fi (kickstand for the HTC EVO 3D), you’ll need to start paying for it (video dock at $49.99). At least HTC recognizes they needed to do something, unlike the Apple iPad and it’s ever-missing SD card support for expanded storage. See what I did there? Bong!

Samsung adding 8.5 hours of talk time to your Galaxy S with new battery case

According to an insider reader source at EuroDroid, Samsung Germany has released an email newsletter outlining new plans for an improved battery case for their Galaxy S line. The improvements, of course, come in the usability department, as the newsletter states that the new battery adds 8.5 hours of talk time, but this chunky new battery and housing come at the cost of sacrificing some of the device’s cosmetic appeal. But, if you’re looking for better battery life, it could be a good trade-off.

What do you think? Would you sacrifice some of your phone’s slim-ness for an extra 8.5 hours of use? Let us know in the comments!

Show off your EVOs insides with a clear battery cover

Check out that above picture, pretty sexy eh? Well bad news is that’s a prototype. The good news is that the creator of that cover is oh-so-close to being able to produce them, he just needs to sell a few more. He’s reached out to TalkAndroid to help him put the word out to the Android community, so that’s what we’re doing. If you don’t like the look of the clear cover, they’re also being offered in red, blue, and yellow. Sales from any color (or lack of color) will help him put these into production. Now these aren’t just some cover’s that some guy has whiddled out of plastic in his garage. These will be injection molded and he’s spent some time on the design as the 3DCAD drawings will show:

So if you’d like to buy one of these and help boost the DIY Android community, I suggest heading over to customevos.com/ and picking one up.
