Best cases? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hello,
i am wondering what are the best cases for this beast.
Personally, i would like it to be as thin as possible so that the form/design is not altered, and covering just the back of the phone.
Case-mate barely there case seems to be ok.
but i also found this: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/flexishield-skin-for-samsung-galaxy-nexus-black-p33167.htm
anyone used these, or any other?

It looks really nice. I bought one from amazon for like five bucks.

Where can I find a mesh case?

I came across this while searching on the internet.
http://www.fonearena.com/blog/41554/review-official-mesh-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s-ii.html
I was wondering if there's something similar for the Galaxy Nexus?
Ebay and Amazon always give me TPU cases and stuff and I don't like most of them.
Thanks!
Has anyone tried this? Looking for pics of the top/bottom to see if it covers the whole phone. Got a similar one for the GSII and was not happy with how much it left exposed.

That looks nice
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
That looks nice. Any other pictures available for this? I'd like to see how it looks from the front of the phone. It does look slightly more bulkier than a a Case-Mate Barely There or Incipio Feather though.
Can anyone tell if the eBay one is fake? I heard there were plenty of fake ones for the S2.
The packaging/wording in the picture looks a bit suspicious to me. I haven't seen this anywhere else also.
they need to put some pics of the phone inside the case, all the pics have the phone on its back
You can tell from one of the pics that the top is half exposed. I think this is to be expected for a slim profile case. If you want full body protection you need to look at bulkier case options.

That mesh case just popped up on ebay a few days ago. Is it really a genuine Samsung product? The official one for the SGII looks much slicker than this.
Looks fake...
this is real.

This is the case I want! But will it fit the Verizon Galaxy Nexus??
Does the Samsung official site have this mesh case listed?

Best protective case?

I would get the otterbox defender but it does not look like it will be purchasable any time soon.
Having a kickstand would be a plus but.. the most important thing is if it can protect a phone from falls very well. I don't want a broken phone.
Edit: This looks like everything I want but I can't find a place to buy it.

I have heard a lot good about this.
Bought it myself, just no phone to test it in.
Diztronic TPU cases are also supposedly good, but probably not what you are looking for.
Might be too bulky but similar to the OP's request: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLK-BLUE-IM...316912?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a76262e70
Same one in black: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Kicks...018974?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item231e77bcde

That doesn't look like their Kraken case. Is is the case that you put under it and you upgrade or something?

That phone looks more like the Otterbox Commuter, no built in screen protector :/ I would really prefer that but I might go with that for a temp case.

The Kraken doesn't come out until at least the 15th of July. I am soooo waiting on it.

Any leather cases?

I mean genuine leather cases. Not pouches. Not skins. Not fake leather. Are there any real leather cases available for this phone? Preferably not a flip cover. I've scoured the internet, and all I could find were mentions of LG's premium hard case that I can't actually find anywhere, and I don't even think it's real leather.
I haven't seen one, been case hunting for a couple of days now.

Tetded has some. http://www.tetded.com/home/en/g3-d8...for-lg-g3-d850-d855-4g-lte-caen-lc-black.html
Ah yes, I forgot about these. They look very nice. If the floppy cover is your thing these look like the best. I'm hunting an oem slim guard myself.

That's pretty much what I'm looking for. That one doesn't come in cognac though and I'm not sure if I like the texture... But I'm probably going to try it out anyway. Do you have it, and if so, can you give a quick review of it?
Here is an entire thread about the tetded.

Bugatti seems to have some nice ones for the G3, too....
Don't know about availability in US, though.
I am currently having a closer look at the "Oslo" version, looks pretty nice !

Is there a wallet case...

....that has a slim back? I am looking for a wallet style case that is very slim. I really have no idea if it even exists. I'm looking for a wallet case where the back is as slim as a Spigen Thin Fit (or comparable) with a slim front cover. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!
don't know if this is the kind that you are looking for, but found this for example

Awesome! Thanks for the recommendations. But I'm probably too OCD on this. I need (want) something slimmer... hahaha.

Hehe no worries I just did a quick search on the sites I normally look at, but these was the thinnest I could find. hope you'll find something that suits your needs on the old interwebs
I have this:
https://vrsdesign.com/collections/galaxy-s8-plus/products/galaxy-s8-plus-case-damda-folder-series
I don't work for them, and I don't get anything if you buy one. You do sign up for their email list they send you a 15% off coupon code.
I like this one. Lets me carry about 8 cards in this case. Completely ditched my wallet after having this.
I bought, have been using, and really like the UAG Metropolis wallet case. Very nice, great quality, and offers good protection in a slim package.

How many cards does this accommodate? I can't find that anywhere on the description or the questions.

One slot. You could perhaps squeeze two cards in it, but it's only designed for one.

Who carries one card? Just doesn't seem like a lot.

Love my otterbox wallet case
The Tech21 Evo Wallet case was pretty slim when I tried it at Best Buy. Much thinner than the otterbox strada or the nomad leather because it's not a case and then additional wallet part. There's just a removable flap attached to a case.

Stomob case

Anybody ever hear of a Stomob case ?

Isn't that just the plated tpu you can get for £2ish on ebay?

Wish I would have read this post first. I bought that Stomob case. It does look good with the translucent cover but within 6 hours of putting it on I had 3 large scratches across the screen of my brand new OP7 Pro. The hard plastic cover (it isn't glass - likely polycarbonate) grinds into your screen. I'm super bummed and will see if Stomob stands behind their product at all that they claim ensures screen protection.
I've used clamshell cases on other phones for years without ever getting a scratch - this case causes scratches - avoid at all costs.

Thanks y'all for this info, the adds are awesome, but not the case. I'm going to keep using the provided case until I can find one I really want. It'll have to be a clear back as I'm not covering my Nubia up!!

Yeah totally agree. This case rocks and at half the cost. I looked at a few other cases similar to this stomob one but was concerned about the effects, if any, of the magnets on reception. Can't go wrong with a Supcase tho... Got mine off Amazon at under $13.

Am I really missing something or are all the cases on their site stuff you can get for a few pounds on ebay? But at ten times the price?

Anyone ever thought about modding this case, and cases like this, to remove just the clear backing so that only the frame is left?

No. They're the only option for this kind of case. That sucks. Which is why I question the idea of modding other cases in order to have a bumper-only case. RS cases are just not that great, IMO.

Agree. They're not. I used them on my 6p and if you drop the phone, it's a scuff mark. The paint job peels quite easily as well.
