Liking the looks of this official Nokia case. Granted i never bought case for my N9 or Lumia 800 and will likely not get for Lumia 920 either.
If i get this right it seems to be some kind of combination of the Lumia 800, 900 style wrap up case with leather flap.

Looks interesting, could very well go for that.

Verkkokauppa.com is quite well known for getting Nokia stuff first in the world.
They specifically say it's only compatible with Lumia 920. Neither was there ever case like that for Lumia 900 by Nokia. Yes there was the silicon case for 800 and 900 like i mentioned above, but never with that kind of leather flap. - 11-06-2012, 10:09 AM #5
not true, i have this case for lumia 900.

I'll take two please - I wish I could get them in before my phones gets here! I need to find something to protect them fast - don't like the thought of them running around naked until I can find a case :) - Any chance USA retailers will be getting this (or wpcentral store)?
Did it only come in black? I would love to see how brown would look.
expansys has it for order.
Nokia Case for Lumia 920 (Black) #CP600NOIR - Expansys USA - 11-14-2012, 12:55 PM #11
I'm interested in this one, but I'm concerned that the case is going to affect wireless charging. If someone decides to buy one please post your results
Just FYI for anyone interested in this case. I ordered 2 of these from Expansys on 11/10/12 and still have not received my order. When I made the order, it said it would ship in 4 days. Then when I logged in to check the status, it said it would ship in 17 days. It is now 12/4/12 and my current order status says "Usually Ships 11 Days". Not sure if I'm ever going to actually get these or not.
I bought a similar type of case and the flash was affected by it being too thick and close to the camera area. I've found stock in the UK of this one and would love to know how the camera and flash work - is the cut out big enough not to cause issues? TIA
observing the trend with expansys, i believe they take in pre-orders for hard-to-find items without ever having them in stock, or any indication of when it will be available..
i doubt these will come through any time soon...
the case has already reached stateside and is available at at&t

EDIT: Just bought it, total impulse buy but what tha heck :) - 01-28-2013, 09:53 AM #22
just had this delivered by expansys over the weekend..the case looks great BUT functionality-wise it is very poorly designed. i literally have to wrestle with the phone to open it..not sure if the leather will wear and become better, but as it currently stands, the case is hardly usable..on the plus side, it offers good protection and coverage, although the phone housing feels like cheap plastic and keels when closing and opening the flap. the case when closed feels really good in the hands and the stand is pretty useful...too bad that closing and opening the flap is EXTREMELY difficult and a deal-breaker of sorts...
i'll put up the link for a video review over the next few days... - 01-29-2013, 07:03 PM #24
I was about to ask the same. Ordered mine from Amazon a few weeks ago but haven't seen any movement.

YNN highlights the coolest and newest apps for your cell phone or mobile device in the twice-weekly segment "App Wrap." YNN's Adam Balkin filed the following report.
NYC Map
It's a map of big cities the way most tourists and, frankly, even locals probably prefer to see it: Not as just street names and buildings but instead, each block is made up of the restaurants, stores, or hotels that are on it. App developer CityMaps has done it for San Francisco and Austin and now it's teamed up with the official tourist board of New York City to make one for the Big Apple called NYC Map. You can either see all retailers throughout the city or filter down to just restaurants, just hotels, etc. Once you see something you like you click on it to drill down for more information, you can even check in there through Foursquare, if it's a restaurant make reservations through OpenTable. There's two other neat map features. First, you can also check out the map for Tweets made near you or around a neighborhood where you're standing to possibly get an idea for what's happening there at the moment and second. You can also hit a deals button which will show you a bunch of bargains available around you. NYC Map is a free app right now for just for iOS devices.
IndieBound Reader
A new app called IndieBound Reader is helping book lovers shop local in this increasingly digital world. It's a dilemma you want to go digital but you don't want to contribute to your local mom and pop bookstore going out of business. Well IndieBound Reader is a way to buy eBooks from your local mom and pop bookstore. The American Booksellers Association put together the app as a way for independent stores to sell Google eBooks online. You log on, type in a zip code, and then up pops a bunch of local book stores. You then choose one and shop away and anything you purchase gets purchased from your local store. And while the IndieBound Reader is a free app for Android and iOS devices, only the Android version allows you to purchase and then read books straight through the app. The iOS version is more of a reader for these books meaning it's more complicated, you will have to go out through your browser and buy books through your local store's website and then import them into the app.

Nokia exclusive Xbox game Blobster oozes onto Windows Phone
Just when it seems like Xbox games for Windows Phone's darkest hour, when all hope of a new release before January 30th has long been abandoned… Nokia once again comes to our rescue with a new exclusive Xbox for Lumia owners: Blobster from Chillingo (who we've barely written about today) and Divine Robot. With this surprise late-day release, there are now eleven Nokia exclusives in the Xbox lineup.
Revolting blob
Blobster is an innocent little platform that clocks in at a light 13 megabytes to download. The titular character is a living blob (sadly lacking lobster claws) who must apparently stop the Big and Powerful Corporation from polluting the land of Canterlot, I mean Blobtopia. While the adorably and sticky littler thing bears the color red by default, players can select between six different skins – including a female one.
The gameplay is simple enough to learn. Pressing the left or right side of the screen moves the Rock Blobster in that direction, not unlike Chillingo's own Roll in the Hole. A tilt option is also available, though I'd have preferred a virtual stick, myself. To make Blobster jump, tug at him with a finger and then release; he'll go flying in the desired direction.
Throughout the game's many levels you'll come across unique power-ups like pieces that cause Blobster to grow and jump farther, a helmet for breathing underwater, and more. The protagonist can't attack enemies directly, so you'll need to avoid them instead. Grab all the collectibles scattered around each level for a handful of Achievements.
Silly putty
Nokia and Chillingo's latest is a cute game whose looks will appeal to general audiences and kids. I find the uninspired backgrounds badly in need of parallax scrolling, but flat backgrounds have long been a pet peeve of mine. With a fair assortment of levels that become more varied as the game progresses, fans of casual platformer fans might just end up falling in love with this blob.
Blobster costs $2.99 like every Nokia Xbox exclusive and works on both Windows Phone 7 and 8. You can view its Windows Phone Store page here, but the game must be purchased from a Nokia Lumia phone.
Thanks to Er.Akshat (tell me that's not supposed to be naughty) for the tip!

Stupid Nokia... :-)
sayonical says:
What's with the lack of adrenaline pumping great Xbox live games? I mean these cutesy little games are boring after 2 or 3 plays. Where's subway surfer?
WPSteve says:
+1 Subway Surfer or Temple Run, please?
joeynox says:
I downloaded temple run 2 last night on my iPhone. Its pretty good.
NickyNichols says:
Its very good! According to how things go around here; when Temple Run 3 comes out we should be getting Temple Run 1 on WP.
JonnieLasVegas says:
Exactly give me Dead Space, Batman, or something of the sort. These little games are ok, but come on give us some more variety. And while they're at it I want Splinter Cell to be WP8 compatible. I paid for it on WP7 &now that I have a 920 I can't play it, WTF!
CJ Thunder says:
NES to SNES, your SC is lost forever most likely.
I second the request for more hardcore games.
tissotti says:
I agree that more variation should be there even, but could somebody tell me why anybody would wanna play Splinter Cell like games on mobile?
Why somebody would do that? I mean all of you must have PC, console or similar in home. Why would you spent hours on a mobile game? Angry Birds to me is as far as mobile gaming goes as a 3 minute distracation when you need one.
znellu says:
Rockartisten says:
Have you played Vice City on a 4.5" Android? That game is f*cking awesome.
exyaster says:
I picked the game up without reading the article, but unfortunately it's not one of Chillingo's best. I'm awaiting another Contre Jour/Feed Me Oil. Came back to see what the article wrote and its true. This is for kids, but my sister wouldn't want to play this. Oh well.

This is why there are no xbox titles for everyone else, Nokia has taken them!

Did you seriously just put that cover on that beautiful device?
rockstarzzz says:
+1 ugly cover
Daniel Rubino says:
I use it for the gym/when running, not all the time.
J Papi says:
Sorry Daniel, but I just called your green cover ugly.
OMAR WAQAR says:
FC Rocket out too, new xbox title...
J Papi says:
Off topic but that green cover is ugly. It's like a beautiful with an ugly dress on.
Murgatroyd7 says:
Unlike everyone else, I dig the green cover. Looks a lot like mine.
NickyNichols says:
The Snex8 emulator came out yesterday and I am completely happy with that.
se4wp8 says:
What the hell is happening with those 12 gameloft games that were announced back in october? The fact that neither MS or gameloft have commented is really worrying. I'm getting rather fed up with broken promises and the lack of up to date info. Don't p*ss off loyal early adopters MS!
Gatlyn says:
There was just video posted in the Spotlight section of the Games hub regarding the titles. They must be on the way shortly.
MastrMeatWad says:
Nokia has some influence in regards to the OS? The prior article linked several avenues to ask MS to bring LIVE titles like halo, forza, why not contact Nokia to influence MS to bring more LIVE games? Just thinking of bothering anyone, partner, that has a connection to the OS.
z33dev33l says:
All of the less intelligent people are going to blame Nokia for the fact that they didn't get an XBL game this week because of this.
MastrMeatWad says:
Why would anyone blame Nokia? I have not read one person blame Nokia for MS not churning out LIVE titles. Odd statement.
Arsenic17 says:
Exactly. Still Microsofts fault. Nokia releases its games randomly, on any day of the week, and sometimes a few at a time. Microsoft is the one letting everyone down Wednesday after Wednesday.
Arsenic17 says:
Another Nokia game is also available to purchase...called FC Rocket. Kinda like flight control.
Residing says:
Thank you, Paul, for bringing attention to this release; I don't think I would have found it otherwise since I generally check Nokia Collection first (I don't see it in Nokia Collection); however, I do see it, along with FC Rocket (will you be reviewing this one as well?) and Picnic Wars (both by Nokia, under the XBox Live header.
As far as this game goes, I kinda like it; but it is almost as challenging as Contre Jour for me, but iwith a more colorful UI. I just may purchase it, but will play the trial a little more. Blobette is cool but sometimes uncooperative :)

Kremlin: Adoptions deal with U.S. valid until 2014
MOSCOW (AP) — The Kremlin said Thursday that an adoption deal with the U.S. will remain valid until 2014 despite a new Russian law banning the practice, but no new adoptions will be permitted and only those already cleared by Russian courts before the ban will be allowed to complete.
Last month, President Vladimir Putin signed a law banning Americans from adopting Russian children, part of a harsh response to a U.S. law targeting Russians deemed to be violating human rights.
Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on independent Dozhd (Rain) TV that the adoptions agreement will remain in force until Jan. 1, 2014 due to its provision that it should be valid for a year after one of the parties terminates it, which Russia did on Jan. 1. But he added that all new adoptions and also those which hadn't been completed before the new law took effect will be banned.
"In cases when certain judicial procedures haven't been completed, a complete ban on adoptions by U.S. parents will be enforced," Peskov said. "The agreement isn't a mechanism that obliges Russia to provide its children for adoptions. It regulates the regime for our children there, the monitoring mechanism."
Peskov said that those Russian children whose adoption by U.S. families had been cleared by Russian courts will be allowed to leave.
More than 50 Russian children were preparing to join their new families in the U.S. when the ban on adoptions was passed, but it wasn't immediately clear how many of them already got a court order allowing them to leave Russia by the time the ban was introduced.
"With regard to those who had failed to leave even though all formalities had been completed, and if there are some local abuses, we will naturally consider those cases," Peskov said.
Russian and U.S. diplomats have been in intense talks over the issue.
"We are very hopeful that we will be able to complete the cases of adoption that had been begun before the law was passed. So that's something that we will be working on with the Russian government," U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Thursday.
She said that in response to the State Department's request for information from American families who were trying to adopt, it had received e-mails from some 950 people and was evaluating where each party stood in the process. Continued...
Nuland added that U.S. officials would prefer not to get into specifics because "we want to see as many children be able to have the future that we'd like for them as possible, and we don't want to be putting people in different categories." She also said there are privacy concerns with regard to both the Americans and the children.
Although some top Russian officials including the foreign minister openly opposed the bill, Putin signed it into law in less than 24 hours after receiving it from the parliament, which overwhelmingly passed it.
Peskov's statement ended the controversy over the length of the agreement's validity. Russian rights ombudsman Pavel Astakhov had earlier claimed that the agreement became void on Jan. 1.
The ban on U.S. adoptions has sparked outrage in Russia, where some Kremlin critics compared Putin to King Herod. A protest against the law, expected to draw tens of thousands, is planned in Moscow on Sunday.
In one case that received wide publicity in Russia, some media reported that 14-year-old Maxim Kargopoltsev, who has long hoped that he would be adopted by a U.S. couple, has written a letter to Putin asking him for permission to join his new parents.
In an apparent media counteroffensive, Russian state television and RIA Novosti on Thursday interviewed the boy, who said he hadn't written such a letter and would like to stay in Russia. The state TV also interviewed a parliament member claiming he wants to take care of the boy, whom he took shopping for a new phone and notebook.
State television also showed photographs of Maxim with the American couple, Dianna and Mil Wallen, of Woodstock, Virginia, who have been trying to adopt him for more than a year.
Reached by telephone, Mil Wallen said he had talked to Maxim five times that day and, although the boy was thrilled by the attention, he was still hoping to be adopted.
Peskov insisted that the boy hadn't sent a letter to Putin, but promised to have a look at why the U.S. couple hadn't been allowed to adopt the boy.
According to U.N. estimates, there are about 740,000 children not in parental custody in Russia, while only 18,000 Russians are now waiting to adopt a child. Russian officials claim that they want to encourage more Russians to adopt Russian orphans. Continued...

BELFRY, Ky. — A man who has been called Pike County's rock star had a portion of US 119 named in his honor Wednesday.
A section of the highway from Stone to the West Virginia state line was named the Charles "Fuzzy" Keesee Corridor in honor of the longest serving Sheriff in Kentucky.
Among the public officials who spoke at the ceremony honoring Keesee was Magistrate Chris Harris, in whose district the corridor lies.
"I have to say, Fuzzy is the closest thing we have here in Pike County to a rock star," Harris said.
The highway, from Pikeville to Williamson, was named the Paul and Judi Patton Highway, but former Governor Patton said they were glad they were sharing the honor with Sheriff Keesee.
"I can think of no better person for us to relinquish a section of the highway to," Patton said.
Fuzzy Keesee was born in Belfry in 1927, the fourth of Moss and Della Myers Keesee's nine children. Keesee's first job was selling bread on Pond Creek for Betsy Ross Bakery. Driving door-to-door with his bread truck he met a lot of people, who quickly came to admire the big-hearted young man, who gave away a good part of his pay in free treats to the children he met along the way.
During that time, he married his first wife, Evelyn Hatfield Keesee in 1948. She worked alongside him in the Sheriff's office until her death in 1990. Their daughter, Mildred Smith, who lives in Bath County, gave them two grandsons, Roman and Beckham, and three great-grandchildren.
Drafted in to the U.S. Army in 1952, Keesee served as a surgical medic in El Paso, Texas, organizing surgical instruments for a team of doctors.
Deployed to France with an infantry unit, he worked in a small dispensary, then an elementary school for military families' children.
When his time was up, he returned to Kentucky with an honorable discharge and found work in a chemical factory in Louisville.
Longing for his birthplace and their families, he and Evelyn moved back to Pond Creek, where his father, Moss Keesee, was running for sheriff. The elder Keesee ran six times, was nominated by the Democrat Party three times, narrowly losing the General Election to Republican Duran Keel twice. Sheriff Moss Keesee served from 1958-1961. He did not run again, paving the way for his son's political career.
Fuzzy Keesee's first race for the sheriff's office was a close one; he beat challenger Perry Justice by a mere 125 votes and took office in January 1962.
"My first three terms," he recalled, "bootlegging was a problem. Then the City of Pikeville went wet and it disappeared overnight."
During his first term," he said, "we began to hear about marijuana. It wasn't a big thing then." Now, he says, "the drug problem is getting worse and causing a lot of crimes, even people killing people." He estimates that 96-97 percent of the people in jail today are there because they get involved with drugs.
Over a span of four decades, Keesee's office has matured.
"I put everybody in uniform," he said. "They all have to complete academy training at Eastern Kentucky University. We developed guidelines, a policy manual, for deputies."
The office has 15 full-time field deputies and one detective, retired KSP Detective Richard Ray. "We need 40 full-time deputies in the field," Keesee pointed out. The gap is filled with about 17 volunteer deputies. "We provide their vehicle, gas, pay their expenses, but they volunteer their time."
Ten deputies serve as bailiffs and security staff in the Hall of Justice. Another group of people works in the tax collection office and as dispatchers.
A volunteer Explorer Team, men and women ages 15-21, under the guidance of Richard Akers, assists with parking and traffic control at events such as ballgames and community festivals.
The Sheriff's office also works with the Pike County Dive Team, headed by Danny Smith. "They are a volunteer group, but they have the training, the boat, and equipment necessary to search to a depth of 200-400 feet," Keesee said.
Neighborhood Watch Groups are becoming more popular in Pike County, Keesee said.
"And we are here to help them," said Keesee. "We've had as many as 15 of these groups at a time. The Neighborhood Watch Groups are the best crime-fighting groups because they patrol the neighborhoods where they live. They are much more effective than people would think. We help them get set up. They patrol and report. They are not armed and have no law enforcement powers, but they are effective because they know their neighborhoods well and know when something just isn't right."
Keesee's office also serves all "process" for the courts: warrants, subpoenas, bench warrants, Emergency Protection Orders.
In addition, the sheriff is charged with all tax collections for the county. Keesee says the way the office is funded is "unusual." The sheriff earns a commission for school tax collections. The office is paid a fee for serving warrants and other court process except for EPOs. The fiscal court gets 25 percent of every fee and commission and returns a portion of that in what is now about $310,000 as a supplement to the sheriff's budget.
"We send all our fees to Frankfort," he explained, "to the State Treasurer. We also send all our bills to the State Treasurer and they pay them."
The Sheriff is personally responsible if his office goes over budget and Kentucky law requires him to make up any deficit.
Reflecting on a lifetime of service to the people of Pike County, Fuzzy Keesee said, "People have been awful good to me, and I give God the honor. He's the main one, and I give him praise for giving me health, and the people for allowing me to serve."
Keesee said what motivates him is his desire to help people.
"I like to be able to help people when they come in. I enjoy that.," he said. "II enjoy meeting people. When I can help people, that's a great accomplishment for me. When I can't help a person, I feel bad and it worries me a little. I dislike not being able to help people who have a valid complaint."
Keesee said he feels the pain of families who have lost members to drugs, and often attends the funerals of those victims.
"Funerals of young people who have OD'd, that's rough. It's hard, but I go out of respect for the family," Keesee said. "There are not many families in our county but what's had people affected by drugs. It's all across the spectrum, prominent people to not so prominent."
A bright spot in the War on Drugs, Keesee said, is that some headway is being made to keep drugs out of our schools. He commends Superintendent Roger Wagner for starting the Pike County Schools Drug Task Force.
In 1997, the widower married the former Edie Dotson, and expanded his family. Edie's daughter, Belinda Smith, who lives in Lexington, has three children. Her stepdaughter, Donna Austin of Williamson, has two children, and they, Fuzzy says, bring his total number of grandchildren to seven.
He's been shot at, never hit. He's never fired a shot at anyone. He's suffered the grief of losing three deputies in the line of duty: Earl Smith, killed by gunfire while serving a warrant; James Poyster "Poss" Keene, who Keesee called "fearless deputy," killed in a car crash; and James I. Thacker, also killed in a car crash while on duty.
Pike County Judge Executive Wayne T. Rutherford spoke at the ceremony Wednesday.
Keesee was typically humbled at the dedication of the Fuzzy Keesee corridor.
"I am nervous, and joyful," he said. "I want to thank all my friends and family who are here today to show their support. Growing up in Belfry, I never thought something like this would happen to me."

Pineville Mayor Sherwin Rader attended the Bell County Tourism Commission meeting on Tuesday to give an update on the Wasioto Winds Hotel project.
Rader stated the city and tourism commission currently have an agreed order that needs to be amended to proceed with the hotel project.
The agreed order was put into place several years ago and involves the restaurant tax revenue. The agreed order states revenue gained from the restaurant tax was to be used for the debt acquired by the golf course.
The debt on the golf course was paid off in December. Now the agreed order states the money was to be turned over to the tourism board, which passed a motion last year to allow the restaurant tax money to be used for the hotel.
Pineville City attorney John Gambrel made the request to continue the agreed order with the amendment in place to fund the hotel and development of the state park area. In conjunction with the state park development, Gambrel said the city of Pineville is about 75 percent of the way through annexing the state park into the city limits.
If the amendment is put into place, Gambrel said the first step would be to use the money to pay the state to move the forestry building. Gambrel estimated it would cost between $500,000 to $1 million to move the Department of Forestry.
Bell County Tourism Director Judy Barton questioned what would happen if the hotel doesn't become a reality and the amendment states the money be put toward the hotel.
Gambrel agreed that was a justifiable question, stating there needs to be something placed in the amendment addressing the issue.
The commission passed a motion to establish a committee to work with Gambrel on the amendment so it satisfies both parties.
The three members from the commission who will be on the committee are Steven Sharp, Mike Long and Steven Easton. Gambrel stated the decision on amending the agreed order needs to be done quickly.
Rader also spoke briefly on the attorney general's decision about restaurant tax money being used for hotels. Rader said she received a letter from the Office of the Attorney General stating the restaurant tax money can be used for the hotel project.

The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History is shown above. The spider that spent 100 days in space died at the museum on Monday. (Smithsonian Institution / April 8, 2009) |
WASHINGTON — The "spidernaut" has died.
Just days after becoming a star attraction at the National Museum of Natural History's Insect Zoo, the spider that spent 100 days in space was found dead Monday.
"The unexpected loss of this special animal who inspired so many imaginations will be felt throughout the museum community," Kelly Carnes, a museum spokeswoman, said.
The spider, named Nefertiti, died of natural causes, according to the museum.
The spider visited the International Space Station in a science experiment proposed by an 18-year-old Egyptian student, Amr Mohamed, to examine how spiders would hunt prey in microgravity. Nefertiti, was indeed able to catch her prey — fruit flies.
Nefertiti lived for 10 months. The lifespan of the species P. johnsoni is typically up to one year, the museum said.
Nefertiti's educational mission, however, will continue. "The body of Nefertiti will be added to the museum's collection of specimens where she will continue to contribute to our understanding of spiders,'' Carnes said.
[For the record, 2:35 p.m. Dec. 3: An earlier version of this post featured a photograph of the American Museum of Natural History in New York and said that NASA's "spidernaut" died there. The spider, which had been part of an experiment at the International Space Station, died at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington.]

Ohio State football: Urban Meyer wants Buckeyes 'angry' in 2013
COLUMBUS (AP) — The last thing Urban Meyer wants from his second Ohio State team is for it to rest on the laurels of his first one.
"If they're not angry but complacent, this team is as average as dirt," Meyer said Monday when discussing what he wants from his 2013 team.
The Buckeyes ended their season prematurely on Saturday with a 26-21 victory over archrival Michigan, running the table in Meyer's first season back in his home state and back in coaching after a one-year hiatus.
Ohio State isn't going anywhere in the postseason due to NCAA sanctions stemming from the tattoo scandal which rocked the program of deposed coach Jim Tressel.
One thing Meyer will not abide in 2013 is a team that doesn't have an "edge" to it. That's where this year's bowl ban might just enter the conversation.
"My concern here is complacency. We have to make sure that doesn't take place," he said. "We need an angry team next year. If we have to manufacture that, we will. Whether it's something was taken from them, we're going to use that. We're going to try to push the right buttons to get an angry team."
He added, "Just like any team, if you don't have a chip on your shoulder, you'll lose like that." For emphasis, he snapped his fingers twice.
Meyer has already met with his staff about how to light a fire under those returning from a surprising team that posted only the sixth perfect season in school history.
Incredibly, it followed a year in which the Buckeyes were 6-7, the most losses at the school in a season since '97 — 1897.
Many of the players — those who have used up their eligibility and those with plenty of time left — look at the season just completed as a waystation more than a milestone. Continued...
"It sets the standard pretty high," departing wide receiver/tight end Jake Stoneburner said. "I don't think anyone thought coach Meyer would come in and turn it around like he did. It's crazy to think we went undefeated."
The Buckeyes lose at least six starters on defense and three on offense, plus punter Ben Buchanan.
The major losses on offense are right tackle Reid Fragel and Stoneburner. On defense, Ohio State must replace lineman John Simon and fullback/linebacker Zach Boren — whom Meyer has called "the heart and soul of the team" — along with fellow linemen Garrett Goebel and Nathan Williams, linebacker Storm Klein, safety Orhian Johnson and cornerback Travis Howard.
"We have almost the whole offense coming back," linebacker Ryan Shazier said. "We're looking at a lot of new guys on defense but we have a lot of guys who are rotating in so it's not like we're throwing in a new, fresh person in there."
Defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins and cornerback Bradley Roby will likely look into leaving a year early to go into the NFL draft. Meyer said he will counsel them if and when they come to him.
Star quarterback Braxton Miller will likely be one of the Heisman Trophy front-runners next year as a junior. But he will also be challenged.
"If he becomes the best (in fundamentals) in America I think he will be the best quarterback in America," Meyer said. "It'll be comical what he'll do. But he's not there yet."
With an exemplary crop of seniors leaving, that means it's up to the rest to follow their lead.
Adolphus Washington, a freshman who forced a key fumble in the Michigan game, will likely take over for Simon.
"That was the hardest group of workers I've ever seen in my life," he said of the seniors. "It's a foundation to keep the tradition going, to just keep working hard." Continued...
Meyer, meanwhile, is energized by what his players accomplished. He had twice stepped aside while the head coach at Florida, citing health and family issues. Some thought he was another Type A personality who burned out.
He said he learned a lot from the faith and trust his players had in the coaches.
Meyer also said he had changed from the workaholic coach who was obsessed with his team and all but forgot about his family during a season.
Before taking the Ohio State job, his two college-age daughters, Nicole and Gigi, his son in middle-school, Nate, and his wife, Shelley, made him sign a contract on a pink sheet of note paper that he wouldn't overdo it this time, that he would remember his personal life had precedence over his professional life.
"Every Sunday I busted out of here at noon and went and watched my son play football. That would have never happened (before)," he said.
He even has proof — two tickets he got for running stop lights to get to one of Nate's games.
"I was 15 minutes late and getting texts from my wife saying, 'You'd better get here.' So I went through a couple of red lights. That's 50 bucks or whatever it is," he said with a laugh. "Great story, isn't it?"

In electing New York City mayors, it's all about-face
New York City mayorsEvery New York City mayor draws intense public inspection -- and ends up with a unique and lasting caricature. Crafted by pundits and fellow pols, this public image is based, fairly or not, on personal style, policy and circumstance.
Remarkably, every mayor's public profile has seemed to differ to a dramatic degree from that of his predecessor, a rule that has held true for at least a generation.
