Chances are you have slipped and dropped your mobile phone on the ground at some point. Everyone can use a nice case for whatever your favorite device may be. Now Waterfield Designs has come up with a very nice Ultrasuede Slipcase for the T-mobile G1.

Even if already use an Invisible Shield case for your T-Mobile G1, you may also want to try out this nice little sleeve for added protection. Not only does it provide protection against scratching the surface of your device, it also helps soften the blow does to the drops and bumps that your handset may experience, something the Invisible Shield is unable to do.

The Slipcase holds your G1 snugly and will lay flat and roll up nicely when not in use. The best part is this case will cost you less than traditional cases at only $9 a piece. If you would like to add a pocket you will only have to shell out another $4. This looks like a win win situation for scratch protection.

  1. It doesn't look like it was even made specifically for the G1.
  2. Looks like a pouch to keep eye glasses... My grandmother can sew something like that :P

    Haha exactly. I might as well just throw my G1 into an old dirty gym sock. It'd offer the same amount of protection.
  4. Wow... that IS kinda bad. ??
  5. Yeah...and the G1 already comes with a slip case like this, with a G1 logo on it and all!
  6. I guess they are pushing the "ultrasuede" part of it as for being different.... I don't know too many guys that really care about ultrasuede though, and I would only care about it if it were a couch

    But seriously, its not even the same size. That should be top priority on a "custom" To Do list... make it FIT....
  7. Bleh!

    $9 or $13 just for a piece of cloth, No thanks
  8. nah im just gonna use my leather case or the one it came with
  9. Hey, I was reading the original post and the blogger actually said that the case is too thin to add protection from drops and bumps. Just wanted to let you know before your readers go out and buy the case for the protection.

    I actually think I may get it since I don't like the feel of the invisishield and don't want the phone to get scratched up in my pocket.
  10. I bought the case at my local t-mo store for 7.99 the inside of the case is a screen cleaning cloth, so every time you put it away it cleans your screen. Plus it is much easier to insert and remove if you use a shell with your phone and the drawstring is nicer than the open ended slip case. It feels really nice in your hand too. Worth the 8 bucks.


    P.S. zero drop protection, but that's why I use the shell too.
  11. Haha wow! This thing doesn't even look like a case Lol.
  12. Has anyone seen the pleather/rubbery leather material the Curve comes in?

    Are there any slipcases like that for the G1? The Curve case was nice, although the stock G1 case does protect a little against shock, but mine's starting to wear down.
  13. So this site is running free front page ads with pics no less, for (in this case, lame) accessories for the G1?
  14. Is it just me or do the news on this site keep getting worse and worse? How can you call this newsworthy? Wow, a crappy suede pouch for the G1!!!
  15. I could make one of these.
  16. I have one and it actually *is* a perfect fit—just doesn't look like it in this picture. The pictures on their website don't do their bags justice either.

    I have one of their laptop sleeves and it's top-notch. They make their stuff in the US and their customer service so good that it's almost bizarre. I recommend the sleeves to anyone who needs one and is willing to pay a few extra bucks for quality.
