I am thinking about buying this screen protector for the Atrix 2. Only problem is I can only find it on AT&T's accessories and well I would assume I should be able to find it some where else for less than $25 that AT&T wants. Anyone know where and how well this thing is before I consider it?? I was also considering the Speck cases for the atrix 2 but I am unsure whether it is like otterbox and has the screen protection built into it. Anyone care to weigh in on these would be much appreciated.
My wife has the defender case for the iPhone 4. It's a life saver since she's really hard on phones. I plan on getting the defender case really soon. The commuter case looks nice as well but it doesn't fair too well against dust build up. This phone has gorilla glass as well, my rule of thumb is this: my phone shares the same space with nothing in my pocket. The case is thick and will protect your 2 year investment. Get it and be happy!
AFAIK moshi is exclusive to AT&T stores and speck cases do not have a screen protector.

Have you checked Amazon? +1 for the Otterbox case. I have one for my iPod Touch and love it, 100% protection. Prolly gonna order one for my Atrix 2 tomorrow.
Hello,
I have the International GSM unlocked version of the GNex. Shortly after purchase, I did something I have not done in many many years. I actually bought something from Radio Shack. As it seems none of the big stores have any cases for the GNex, I just happened to pass by an RS and found the OtterBox Defender. I absolutely hated it:
1) It seems the very top of the case did not fit tightly enough. The main issue was that it made it VERY difficult to access the notification bar on the GNex. I actually had to squeeze the case a little.
2) There is space between the screen protector and screen. This made it very easy for dust, threads, junk to get between the two.
3) The case never seemed to really go together solid. It always kind of squeeked (which I have seen in other threads)
4) Having come from the GSM HTC Hero, one thing that I was worried about in switching to the GNex was slipping it into my pocket. I have been very impressed with how slim the GNex is. The OtterBox made it a big hunk of junk.
One thing I have not figured out is if the GSM International version might be a slightly different size than the Verizon version? The look the same in the store.

The international GSM version is thinner than the LTE version that Verizon has. That might account for some of your issues. Although even with the difference in thickness, there's still a bit of space between the screen and the screen protector on the LTE version. Many people have complained about the dust and random crap that gets in there on the Defender case.
I have the Defender for the Galaxy Nexus (it came with it), and I personally don't like it either. I used it for all of half a day before I decided that it just wasn't for me. I ended up going with the Diztronic case, and it's just about perfect. It even works with the OEM extended battery for the LTE version. I typically don't like TPU cases, but this one doesn't feel like a TPU case once it's on. It has a much more solid feel without adding much of any bulk to the phone.
I had similar impressions with the Otterbox Defender that one of my friends had on his Nexus S. It seems to offer great protection, but the built-in screen protector caused more problems than a stick-on kind.
I love the Commuter series cases and had one on my Galaxy Nexus for a few months until I got the SGP Crumena leather sleeve. I've been very impressed with it so far - a fantastic case that isn't a case
Im using a gsm nexus with the defender . I removed the screen protector with goo gone, then applied an ebay type screen protector directly to the screen . Major improvement with that dust behind the lense problem. Now about the size. The defender is literally too big for the gsm model. I folded a microfiber cloth and placed it behind the phone. That made it fit better until i get a bigger battery. Ive heard rumors that the 2200 mah batteries fit inside the defender with all the extra room.

Ok ,so there is only one option on the Otterbox website.Does it fit both the GSM and CDMA Nexus or is it only for one device?
According to the model numbers on the cases one is designed for the GSM version and a separate is for CDMA. That being said, be wary with the otterbox defender as it has been reported to actually scratch that phone as the phone sits in the plastic shell and does have a tiny amount of room for movement.

Yup.
I noticed this instantly, mostly when plugging/unplugging the charger. Installed the oem extended battery and now it doesnt move. As well dirt/lint always managed to get in the otterbox and bugged the hell out of me when is stayed in the screen, added a zagg protector and it doesnt do that, kept the otterbox screen protector too.
I have the gsm version as well. I added a couple small strips of microfiber on the inside of the defender and installed a zagg screen protector. I also removed the OEM otter box screen protector. The setup works very nicely. No movement at all.

As far as I know, there isn't one. Last month Otterbox customer service confirmed to me via email that their Defender case for the Galaxy Nexus was designed for the Verizon version.
If there is a GSM version, I'd love to know about it.

No movement on mine
I bought this one from amazon and its the otterbox defender series,I have a sprint nexus. I have had no movement with my phone in the case it fits snuggly in there. I looked at ottbox.com and it was 50 bucks. While I do like the case and would pay that much, Its half the price on amazon.

Lol,I ordered mine from the same seller!Great to know there aren't any problems with it. Update:Just found out that the Sprint & Verizon stock batteries are 1850 mAh vs the GSM version @ 1750 mah.Shouldn't be much of a difference.
I decided to get the Kraken case instead. Its good so far and has no fitment issues with my GSM Galaxy Nexus.
Just received my Defender and I love this thing! Some of you were saying that the phone moves slightly but mine doesn't. Anyways, I'm not complaining. Thank you all for your help and advice

Just bought the purple version for my wife's phone. She beats the hell out of her phone so I figured the Defender would be the best choice. I'm really hoping there's no movement inside the case.

I thought i'd ask the AT&T folks, the international forum is too large and impersonal.
Im looking at this one for myself: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nillkin-Mat...841&pid=100011&prg=1005&rk=1&sd=140855149689&
I got that one in white. Waiting on the Marble White version to be available for AT&T.
The ONE thing nice about not having the phone in hands yet is it has given me time to get some goodies on order with cheap shipping. I have four cases headed my way (yes idle hands). As you will see from my selections, I like cases that are TPU or similar for absorbing shock. I don't like very bulky cases.
Yello TPU from Amazon

Gray X-line that seems to be everywhere on the web

Then the Flexshield cases. I think one of these will be my everyday case. I couldn't decide between transparent or black so I ordered both. They come from mobilefun.com in the UK and since I had so much time to wait (November 9th or so) I used the cheap $5 shipping and it should be here by then.

I got that nilikin case (I have a tmob with att sim). Its even more slippery than the phone itself which I don't like. It looks good though.

Still haven't decided if I am getting the Note yet, I have SGS3 and its great, with a nice strong seido case (extended battery active) it isn't too big. I feel like having a big case on the note will be too much. I'm in the army and the SGS3 barely fits in my ankle pockets now, Only option for the Note would be in my cargo pockets and it might break in there...
i am looking into the Nilikin case atleast until there is an otterbox commuter for the note 2
Case I ordered
This is the case I ordered from Korea.
1) some sort of a metallic material bumper case (black)
2) some sort of a metallic material battery cover (black)
and its going to be going on the Titanium Grey colored version of the note 2
by the way the second picture is the metal battery cover by itself.
I got this clear hard shell case at Amazon for $10.99.
Trident. Just have to baby it for a month or so. :good:
Ive got the Nilikin cases in white and black. Not a fan of the texture. But it was the only thing available that was decent at the time. Im waiting for the Elago slim cases to come out which i have on my original Note.
I just ordered this case of ebay, not bad for the price and it looks half decent. I will post pictures once i get it and the phone(still waiting for rogers to ship)

hey guys i got a quick question im currently married to my skyrocket...but im leaving her for this beautful note 2. something i came across that was rather annoying with the skyrocket when it came to cases is that the phone style changed based on the carriers. e.g the speaker orientation on the sgs2 hercules vs the sgs2 skyrocket where different. even tho they are the same phone specs wise. is this the same here since all the cases linked here are for the n7100 and our phones are the n7137m and n7147m or something to that effect thanks for your replies in advance
The note 2 as far as dimensions go are the same across all models. So all cases will work

thanks bro
I just ordered this case :http://tinyurl.com/cbtohpn
and this one: http://tinyurl.com/c7cae3j
both from ebay
i also bought the ZAGG body shield
Boxwave case with the integrated stand. I have the black one on my current Note and it works great. The stand isn't super strong (can't expect it to be on a slim plastic case) but it's built well and holds the phone well also.
The case isn't available yet so keeping an eye out.
Hello All,
First of all i want to say im new to XDA developers site and new in Android phones.
Recently (like 2 weeks ago) i bought my Galaxy Nexus I9250 and i want to protect my phone so i need case and screen protectors( Ebay or Amazon need cheap and good ^^) and battery cuz when my batery is fully charged(100%) im using Wi-Fi and surfing the internet using not so much applications on and the battery finish in 4 hours so if u guys can recommend me on a good battery from ebay amazon i dont mind(the version of the phone is 4.1.1).
Thx for help.
Otterbox
I bought this with my phone when it released back in 2011. I really like it. its on og the best case company: http://www.otterbox.com/Samsung-Gal...or=20&start=2&cgid=samsung-galaxy-nexus-cases
I prefer the Commuter case too. And it will fit the OEM extended battery w/o the door.
I have the gsm model. As for a screen protector I like the Skinomi drytech protector, I had a ArmorSuit one but it has that rainbow effect, the Skinomi one is clear, but, the one I received was cut to exact fit and you have to be careful when applying it because it will stretch slightly over the edge of the screen. I have a SGP Hybrid case and it is great, I also have an Otterbox Defender case for work, I love it, a little rainbow effect on the screen but it's bearable.

If you're looking for a cheaper alternative to the Otterbox. The Trident Aegis case is the way to go (and they offer color options)... they're down to $12.98 on Amazon.
Favorite case and battery friendly rom
I found this nice case from Nilkin: NILLKIN-PU-Leather-PC-Flip-Wallet-Cover-Case-LG-E960-Nexus-4-LCD-Film
The ROCK flip case is also my favorite but it sold out everywhere I look.
Btw. I am using the latest Paranoid(15 febr) rom and the battery usage very friendly.:
I think Xtreme Guard screen protectors are the best and easiest to install. They usually have coupon codes. I think I bought 3 for less than $5.
