Pics of my new argyle case from Daydeal. So far it's my favorite after using the T-mobile gel case and the Samsung OEM Blue & Black case. Don't get the OEM blue and black case. The black rubs off VERY easily exposing the blue underneath. Very poor quality. And it's too floppy, so I've pulled the phone right out of the case when I had it in my jean pocket on multiple occasions.
All cutouts align very nicely on this case.

Think i found my new case, thanks for posting
EDIT
Amazon has them for $5.95 shipped...just ordered one.

I have this case for my Vibrant as well... Got it at the T-Mobile store when I picked up my phone (I want to say it was around $10-15) Its a 'soft' hard case if that makes any sense. Its some kind of hard plastic with the outside having some grip. I got the dark gray color case which works out nice since you don't really see the argyle print when its on
hey, I'm not sure if this is the same, but this is the case I am currently using. I had previously been using the gel case from t-mobile and I also have the hard case from Samsung, but this remains my favorite. It comes in multiple colors, I am using the Orange and liked it so much I ordered a green. Cut-outs are perfect and adds little to no bulk to the phone.
check Amazon, under - Amzer-Luxe-Argyle-Samsung-Vibrant
Stay away from their Gel cases, total junk & I returned previously.
Hope this helps.

Yes, the Amzer case is the same as this one. Glad you are liking yours as well.
Got mine as a cheapy case until the SGP redesign drops. I knew I wanted a TPU case after reading about how silicon is a dust magnet, and I needed something a little stiffer as well. I searched for "Vibrant TPU" on amazon and found these for around 12 shipped as well. I got the orange one, for no real good reason... Fits really nice and snug, not too hard to take off either. The Amzer ones have a cutout on the battery door around the GALAXY S logo, I believe.
got the same case from handhelditems.com for i think $10 its the smoked argyle, I love it!

appreciate the link. mind posting a pic of it action? not sure what you/they mean by rear cover shell that you didnt install. pics would help many im sure
The middle pic, flat and solid with the clip, which is the part that covers the screen, is what remains. The pic on the right, with holes for the camera and kickstand, is left behind as it wont fit over the big battery. Pics in a bit...
That's not too bad, and with invisible shield applied to the back of the phone you would be doing pretty well. I purchased one of the generic invisible shield kits at Best Buy and cut out parts to cover the extended battery and the top of the phone. Looks decent.
Well that's not really a confirmed case, but I can dig it.
I was going to just get one of those gel skins and cut a hole for the battery. I'm more worried about dropping it and damage that way than just a place to hold it.. I have soft pockets LoL
Not 4 threads down

They sell these at bestbuy you can go in, open the package make sure it works etc.
i will be happy also once some cases come rolling out, hopefully soon
My Solution
I used/modified the high gloss silicone cover (VZW part VZW6400SILHGBLK) AND the holster that came with Platinum Series case/holster combo from Best Buy. It's similar as the Seidio Innocase II except is has Pt letters on the back.
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr3htmec-bk.htm
I ditched the Platinum case (for sale) and just use the holster. It works pretty good and the battery doesn't stick out that bad.
More info about the case here

Pictures below:
That is exactly what I am doing tonight. I ordered a couple of the Amzer TPU cases off of ebay form a US reseller for $3.95 each, so I got two with USPS First class mail shipping for $10.40. They should arrive in the next day or so. I also have another case I am going to modify.
One thing I also did was cut a piece of the invisible shield protector and applied it to the back of the battery door so it looks glossy and protects the back from getting scratch to hell.
I was going to get an amzer silicone case and cut it up like i did for my incredible...i might go with the harder rubber one from verizon so it will hold its shape better....worried he silicone will be too thin with the battery and camera positions...
After hearing feedback that the Barely There Case was found not an exact fit I thought I'd try out an alternative. I decided on the Hard Hybrid Back Case which can be found on ebay for less than £3. I also bought the even cheaper (99p) S-line for comparison.
The S-line I found easy to fit and remove, it had more protection on the top and bottom but it felt and looked cheap. The buttons were also covered with plastic which I didn't like.
The Hybrid case is very much styled like the CaseMate Barely There case but fits better, it's very snug and snaps over the Nexus. Getting it off can take a couple attempts. It has cut outs for both buttons which I prefer and has a nice grippy feel. Here are a couple pics:

Will this fit the extended battery?
Don't like how the bottom isn't covered.

Agreed. What's the point of having a case if it doesn't cover all the edges?
On a side note, OP - would you mind sharing the settings widget you are using? I like that the background is transparent.
AH i ordered a bunch of the hybrid cases off ebay. they are feel really nice! the only thing i dislike is how incredibly frustrating it is to take it off >:| (yes i swap cases often to keep the look fresh) but I have a white one and a dark purple one. as well as a S-line case. the S-line case feels nice but kinda bulky ><
each of my cases are like $2-$3
i'll post pictures of the white one once it arrives >> (two week shipping from HK)

Could be SwitchPro.
Case looks pretty nice. Currently using Otterbox Defender or whatever and it's comically huge.
Looks like a nice case, was going to ask if it would fit the LTE nexus but it looks like the seller doesn't ship to the states :/

u have to look around. all of the sellers based in Hong Kong would be willing to sell to the states. however, alot of the EU based sellers wont. it took me a good 20 minutes to find a white hybrid case that could be shipped to the US
Anyone ordered this case sold by Walnut on Gmarket:
H T T P://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=217473693
A slim case is what I want, currently using casemate barely there but I don't like the glossiness of the plastic as it attracts fingerprints more than the screen!
I also have the original Samsung mesh case but it has snapped in two of the corners and gets caught on fabric when in pocket etc.
Costs including shipping to UK is ￦ 41000 which works out about £23 - slightly expensive..

hi, i dont recommend you to get that since the bottom of the phone is not protected. thin it may be and it also has a nice textured surface at the back but if protections not good. nahh..
I wouldn't advise a barely there case either they are **** both me and my missis have always had them on a previous phones and found them to be great but for the S2 they are rubbish, both mine and my missis cases have failed in the same way where the volume rocker is, most cases have a cut out but the BT case has a thin piece of plastic round the top which just snaps off. There really was no need for case mate to do it like that as all other cases have a u shaped cutout but this has a stupid bit off weak plastic.
Thanks for the replies guys, might stay away from this one but I can't think of any other good slim cases other than buying another mesh case :-\
Try the Venom Armour Shell case. I have the black one and while protection doesn't match bumper style cases it does offer decent protection and looks/feels great.

This is my short review of some cheap $2 hybrid cases that I purchased from ebay. I'm using the GSM Galaxy Nexus and the fit is good and tight. They can be purchased here and from other sellers on ebay. I'm not affiliated with these sellers in any way. The case is a HYBRID case as it's made by thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and silicone material. It's more flexible than traditional hard cases made of polycarbonate (PC), yet it retains its shape better then soft rubber silicone cases. It gives full protection (top and bottom) unlike some other cases. You can access all of the buttons and ports easily. For the price, I think that these cases are pretty much unbeatable. I've used hard cases and full silicone cases on other phones before, but I never liked them. This is the perfect combination in my opinion. Hard cases are nice, but they don't offer much impact protection if you drop your phone and they tend to break easily. Silicone cases offers the best protection, but they are bulky and don't fit very snugly around the phone. Also, silicone cases are very flexible therefore they can slip off of the phone very easily. Hybrid cases offer much of the impact protection of silicone cases, but also the thinness and the snug fit of hard TPU cases. In my opinion, hybrid cases offers a great compromise between the two extremes.
Here is a short youtube video I made to give you a general overview of these cases. 1080p available as well.
Here are some photos that I took:

Charcoal Matte
Red Matte
Clear White
You can also buy these colors on ebay
Nice find, bought a white one
Recieved it, i put my otterbox commuter hardshell over it and it looks amazing!!
Best Cases, I have white, grey and black. I think white looks the best though
I may be necroposting but I have to post here and say that this is the best "cheap" case I bought so far off of eBay. This case fits tight and offers a very slim profile.
For less than $2, you really have nothing to lose and it fits perfectly as well. I got fed up with my previous cases because of the bulk and issues with feeling, so I ended up just not using any case. This is my daily driver as far as cases go.
Here are the black and blue covers that I just received.
Wow wish I found this thread earlier. I've been looking for a white tpu case for a while. These are dirt cheap also!
Thanks a lot buddy!

hows the fit with extended 2000mah battery on the gsm nexus?
I really wanted the Black, but everywhere that I've called say that they only have the silver.
Anyways, what case will you be rocking?
I chose the Seidio Surface case for light use and the Seidio Active w/ kickstand for heavier duty.
this is the first phone I'll primarily be using naked, so I got this as a quick case to put on and off depending on the situation, along with a mime ghost glass tempered glass screen protector

I'd like something thin and clear to show off it's style but I'm bad about dropping my phone. Ideally I'd like something like the old invisishield that's just a layer over the screen and back but also covers all the edges. Any suggestions?
Incipio Dual Pro Shine Silver / Black
http://www.myphonecase.com/products...ver-black?utm_source=googlepla&utm_medium=cpc
Really like it so far. Fits the phone well. The only quarrel I have is that the screen on/off button is hard to hit right, but muscle memory will make it easier in the future.
Urban Armor for me!
Otter Box Commuter series case has never failed me before.
Speck GemShell
I had to cut slits on the sides of the volume buttons though to make it easier to press. Poor design.
http://www.amazon.com/Speck-Product...HL4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1377215448&sr=8-1&
Diztronic TPU
I ordered the goospery slim, avoid it. Not only is the fit garbage but they put a sticker inside the case that has been impossible to remove in one piece.
I got the Verizon brand..."high gloss silicone" cover...
I have this case: amazon.com/Poetic-Palette-Premium
Its very minimalistic and feels very soft. Only $8 but I would have paid double.

I got the Tri-colored double dip official HTC case A lot of people complained about it scratching the phone but mine is unscatched. I just got my phone a few hours ago.
Definitely an Otterbox, most likely the Commuter.
i just like simple ones haha
HTCs own double dip flip.
