Does anyone know if they will be coming out with a waterproof otterbox for this? Also, what is the best case currently in your opinion? And does anyone have a case from verizon? If so can you post pictures or a link to it. Thank you
I've had a seidio case for my nexus one and nexus s in the past. I sent them a email about the GSM Gnex case and they said they're sending it to the department that handles new inquiries.
That case looks identical to the otterbox, so hopefully one of them will come out with a case for the galaxy nexus.
Just found this at a bell store.

That looks nice!
Really surprised because the otterbox site shows these cases as coming soon. So I was shocked to see that the bell store had these. It was still in the back of the store still and I had to convince the store clerk to sell me them early as the phone doesn't release till tomorrow.

Ive been using the tpu matte black case from diztronic aka tpu cases. I like it but im not confident it provides enough protection. But it looks nice and is unobtrusive. However i ordered a casemate tough case. I wish Samsung would release for this phone the carbon fiber looking case i have on my galaxy s. I really like that case and its durable. I like otterbox but their cases are bulky IMO. Ballistic case is also working on a GNex case as well which should be nice.

I don't know if can see the posts but otterbox replied to a friend of mine with, "Unfortunately we will not offer a case for the TMobile version. So sorry to disappoint."
I am dissapointed....
Otterbox is up the ass of AT&T as well as Apple and it really pisses me off. The alternatives like Trident and GumDrop are slowing going to gain ground on them.

That is such a bummer! Ugh! I really need to find a good kickstand case or a landscape dock.
Check out the Case Mate POP! Case. It's got a kickstand. I have one for the AT&T SGS2 and it's great.

Im not all that impressed with otterboxes anyway. I have a defender for my hd2 & after only a couple months the silicone got all stretched out over the buttons. Trident FTW.

Well I will be buying that case to try it out. Right now I use the D3O and i love it, its a tight fight but i dont like having to press the power button so hard...
Has anyone compared the new SGS2 ATT LTE to ours its the same screen size and if the fronts are similar .....maybe we'll get an otterbox...
i think the D3O cases are way better than the Otterbox
Otterbox cases are always bulky and thick, makes the device larger than its
I had a Nexus One before SGS2 and I dropped that thing so many times not a scratch or a dent or anything on that. I know that the SGS2 is plastic vs nexus one which is why I want the best protection possible and adding alittle bulk knowing I can drop it and it will be protected.....

hi my fellow XDA members i recently have been going through cheap cases of eBay because i cant find the rite one.i bought one last night by diztronic and it looks promising,i also bought one called case mate i seen on YouTube and that also looks promising but expensive! im going to send one of them back.my perfect case would be a tight fitting gel that is durable but not tpu but more of a stiff gel.anyone come across anything that resembles that? thanks

Both are high quality TPU cases. Im using the Diztronic now. Have 3 Cruzerlites on order waiting to be shipped.The Cruzerlites have ridges on the side for grip and a cool android on the back. Diztronic is matte and gloss and offers good protection. May replace the diztronic after i get the cruzerlite...haven't seen anything like it.

Casemate Tough or Otterbox Commuter coupled with Carbon Fiber Ghost Armor & your choice of screen protector. I've spent Alot of money on cases/skins and this is the best combo for me. TPU'S are also a great value for light protection but my daily setup is the CM Tough & Carbon Fiber Ghost Armor with a Ghost Armor screen protector. These companies customer service is amongst the best in the industry.

The Diztronic TPU case is awesome. I just got mine today and it fits nicely, no shifting cutouts are perfect and adds a good visual appeal to the phone.
i exchanged a noname TPU case for a casemate barely there and much happier about it...phone weighs almost half and case is good enough for light protection.
besides, it's quite classy, TPU or casemate tough don't do justice to the Nexus...
sgp Neo hybrid, its not even close

+1 The Matte Black back is much nicer than I had expected to be, and the glossy rim around the front bezel is very generous, and the overall feel of the case is quite classy IMO.
Hey guys I wanted to buy a case mate pop case cuz I like how it looks but I remember hearing somewhere on here that they aren't selling them right now because they are making revisions on them. I seen a few on amazon still and I been tempted to buy one but does anyone know what these revisions are? Like is there something really wrong with the cases?

The current 1G version doesn't have the hole for the camera's microphone. The CM Toughcase and Barely There version does. I don't know why it wasn't included in the first iteration. Laziness, perhaps?
I'm using the OtterBox Defender Case. If you're not a fan of bulky cases it's probably not for you but, it's perfect for what I need it for.
Damn. To me it does seem like laziness lol I guess ill just wait for the revision model

Oh... well if the Ringke slim cases aren't for CDMA Galaxy Nexus... guess I made my choice lol

Yeah the Ringke slim case scratched the top of my GSM nexus as well. But in my opinion it looks better with the case on anyway.
I rather have my phone free from scratch even it wears a cheapo case, I ordered sgp Neo hybrid case, I think it look more sexy than ringke case and offer more protection as well. I saw many good thing about sgp, I'll find out soon. I disappointed on ringke case because it scratches the phone while put/remove it often.

I have the incipio feather case for my GSM Nexus and i love it. Fits well and the matte finish on it is great as well, adds some more grip to the phone.
Incipio FTW
I have been using the Incipio Feather case for a week now and love it. I got the gray one so it matches the GNex color perfectly.
I just purchased this case, and I'm a little excited and concerned. Its a beautiful case( I got the white one), but I'm a little worried about the protection. Has anyone had any bad experiences with this phone? Or good ones too?
This is the link to the case.

I didnt really like the case. The protection seems minimal and I had a lot of trouble taking it off and on at first.
It's an excellent case with awesome support and great protection. taking it off is a bit difficult the first couple of times, then gets easier. I love it.but there is a whole thread for it,I fail to see the reason to start a new one.

I just purchased the matte black Ringke SLIM case tonight since it's back in stock. I wanted the metallic one, but I rather not wait till May for it. Also ordered the 3 for 2 Cruzerlite TPU's just in case. always nice to have back ups and color options.

Don't worry about protection, I thought the same thing till I dropped my phone on hard concrete from about 4". My phone turned off that was it, not even a point of contact where the case meet the floor...I was shocked. At first I was worried that it turned off, but considering there's no absorbing material, I see why. It booted back up and no problems since, been about 3 weeks. I have the metallic one also and blend perfectly with the phone, I love it though.
And I went overboard buying the androidified tpu cases...I bought 8, awesome cases but haven't used then since I got the ringke slim.

I just got my Casemate in the mail but I haven't tried the Rearth yet. I am pretty sure it is going to come down to these two and will be a tough decision.
Anyone who owns both want to take a shot at convincing me to use one over the other?
