Best Skins Ever finally has the Galaxy Nexus skins in stock ready to ship out Monday! They are also all discounted right now as an introductory price. I picked up 2 for myself, I've used these for my Nexus One, Nexus S, GS2, and now my Galaxy Nexus will have it's turn! Definitely the best wet type skin on the market. Shipping only a dollar too, better than everywhere else except Amazon...

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I was thinking about getting the screen protector from them. can anyone comment on the quality of it? Is it very noticeable? bubbles? glare?
You will see orange peel. I just bought 2 back covers.

Well for starters, it ruins the crystal clear beautiful display.
I use it on the sides and back for a grippy feel.
SGP on the screen.
I have the same setup, I use SGP for the screen and Best Skins Ever for the body. But to compare all the wet install type shields, they will all have the orange peel effect but from my experience, Best Skins Ever is minimal and it isn't nearly as grippy feeling as the Zagg. In other words, your screen is still nice and smooth and not grippy if you use the Best Skins Ever screen protector.
Here are some pictures of the BSE on the Nexus S from a while ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10398198&postcount=6
Do BSE skins for the SGN come with separate pieces for the battery case and device frame? Hard to tell from the Nexus S pictures. I used to use them on iPhones, but of course battery replacement was not an option with those...
I've used BSE on many products, good stuff and cheap! Also excellent customer service.

They always have come with the pieces separate for me, at least when I got it for my Nexus One, Nexus S, and Galaxy S2... so I'm assuming it's the same thing for the Galaxy Nexus. If it doesn't then I will be very surprised.
So is screen protector edge to edge all the way around? And how is the battery cover handled since it is textured?

From past experience, the screen cover is pretty much edge to edge everywhere. The textured back was kind of weird with the skin (I had a Galaxy S2 before this with the same textured back). At first when you put it on, you will notice gaps between the cover and the textured back, like it wasn't really on all the way. I left it alone and after about 2 weeks or so, it's like it dried out even more or shrunk to the textured backing and it looked good from then on out.
FYI people.....
25% off today through 14th on orders through them.
unfortunately i ordered yesterday and i asked if they can adjust my order.....
take advantage guys!!!

I hate hate hate how grippy zaggs are. I use sgp crystal clear on my dinc right now. Will I be able to tell the difference in grip between that and these you think? I just really love hard covers since my finger can slide across with no friction...

Just bought one of these, apparently it's free shipping to UK as well? Hopefully they don't pull me up on that!
What exactly is this?
I'm having a hard time visualizing what this is. The images they have are of the phone and not the individual protectors. Anyone have pictures or anything to support the product? I've typically bought the the PET silicone stiff protector for the screen. Very nice stuff. But this product also has a body protector??
So again, if anyone has photo's I'd appreciate the wisdom.

i've talked to BSE and they said other than the battery cover being on piece, there are multiple pieces to the body parts.
skins ALWAYS look good on glossy phones.
they look good on textured phone too, but man glossy looks nice.
i have BSE for my NS and its awesome. i noticed that they are think to begin with.
some skins are thicker.
I have a question, if I do not like the look of the protector, will it be easy to remove and leave no damage?

The description doesn't mention if it will fit the Epic touch 4G. I believe this is made for the international version of the Samsung Galaxy S2 but not certain. I sent the seller a note but yet to receive a reply. Does anyone have any experience with this case?
Is there a physical size difference between the Sprint and International Version of the Galaxy S2?

Wow. That case is a work of art. Some of the other designs from that seller look great too.
I sent the seller a message on ebay asking if he was going to make cases for our phone. Here was his reply...

wow thats one expensive case, I'll pass
The original S2 is different enough from the E4GT that those ebay cases probably won't fit at all. Your first big hint is that the E4GT has a bigger screen...
Arguably, a perfect case would be designed for the phone, look how you want, and not cost more than 50 bucks, this good sir is far from a perfect solution IMHO.
Waste of money. I dropped my eg4t several times on concrete, asphalt and on a tile floor with not a mark. I do have a tpu case and a screen protector. I feel I don't need this type of protection.
You guys and cases would fit right in an iPhone 4 forum.

I have had identical experiences, with not a scratch. Steinheil crystal screen protector and matte black tpu case. The tpu case only scuffed a little, it took a couple hard falls/slides too. It is cool however, I would like to see custom made wooden ones like this, natural woods (stabilzed probably) in a sort of "two frame" design like this, with spacers on the corners (wood or otherwise). I might build one for giggles to see...

haven't seen good pics of the BSE skin. so i took some of my phone and sharing.

Looks nice! But you say the screen is grippy eh? That's a shame but we'll see how I find it!
Edit: Is this a Total Body Skin or just a Body Skin?
does the skin come with a screen protector and does it completely cover the sides and bottom of the phone
i usually get a case with my phones but id be willing to try out a skin if it protects all the sides from minor scratching in my pocket.
correction guys.
the bse itself is grippy. i didn't put the bse screen protector. i'm waiting for my XO skin for that...

sorry guys. don't know.. it is the GSM version that i have.
i'll update title so that people don't get confused.
I got mine today, I think I may have used a bad kind of soap, I have two or three funny patches on it, other than it seems fine. I'll give it time though, only did it 30 mins ago.
previous experience
i had the bse on my nexus s and it is a little bit grippy on the screen but overall it doesn't make a difference. I am going to order a new set for my galaxy nexus today. BTW, they updated the instructions saying that you shouldn't use the soap mixture when applying the back cover plate because it will cause problems.
This is for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus, not the GSM Variant.
I ordered this case from the suggestion of another person on twitter and it came in the mail today. I was especially intrigued by it because he said it fit the extended battery rather well!
It turns out that it does and seems to be one of the first I have found (besides the Otterbox Series) that fits the phone with the extended battery included.
It is made of high quality materials, and isnt a lint collector in my pocket which is a big one for me. Below are a link to the pictures of the phone w/ the extended battery and the case itself.

I have this case in white/purple and loved it, but was concerned about the back getting "scratched" since the plastic part doesn't have any felt or cushioning. What are your thoughts on this? Is there any reason to be concerned in your opinion?

The plastic seems to be fairly strong, for example, it seems the coating is of high quality which makes it not easily scratch able.
For the most part I am not worried about the case being scratched and I really like it.
I was worried about the back of the phone getting scratched by the plastic part that touches it. You have noticed no scratches on your phone from this case?

I misunderstood you from before, and no I do not think that the plastic will scratch the phone in any way
Thank you for your review and your opinion! That makes me feel a bit better about using that case as it is my favorite so far. I am still looking at the Kraken (when they make one), Rearth Rinke and SGP. I also have one of those cases that look like the ballistic ones. I like it though it does make it a bit bulkier.
Just ordered the White/Green one to go with my Beats . I'm a sucker for anything Lime Green, I have been going naked on the phone, hopefully I'll like this case. Biggest thing I was worried about what being a lint magnet, good thing it isnt

How much weight does it add?? I love how light this phone is and I'm looking for a case that doesn't add much weight
Sent from my GalaxyNexus using XDA App
anything similar for the gsm?
I also ordered this case Black/Red. I have a GSM version. The difference between the LTE/GSM is .53mm so Im thinking it'll be fine. I read a negative review about this case that discouraged me but after reading this thread im feeling a lil better. Pics look great on the SGN. Also Carbon Fiber Ghost Armor will be between my boo boo (lol) and the case so I'm not worried about the plastic scratching my phone. It also comes with a Naked Shield screen protector wich I've read is a wet application. Any thoughts on the included screen protector? Is it any good? Doubt id peel my Ghost Armor screen protector off for any other but im still interested if it's good.

It adds near 0 weight to the phone, at least it seems as if it does not which is the important part
I just got this, LOVE IT! although it does add some bulk it barely added much weight and it fits well with the extended battery with one exception, I had to remove my skin that was installed on the phone... I was a little shocked it wouldn't fit with that skin but I guess I don't need it...

Anyone bought the following TPU Bumper for the Galaxy Nexus?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-BUMPER-...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item905d2ca610
How is the fit for the GSM version of the GNex?
Will the TPU bumper lift the camera lens away from the surface like how I suppose the front lip (which I hope is minimal) can lift the screen away from the surface when the phone is placed downwards?
How is the gloss like? Any other similar products with matte?
Are the buttons cut-out?
Does it add a lot, width wise?
Is the tpu rubbery? in the sense that it is sometimes hard to pocket?
Wow... lots of questions lol.
Crap, I just found a thread that has the same link. Thread title: "Best Case for Extended Battery $5 (Picture)"
Sorry if I accidentally double posted, my mind filtered out any threads where extended batteries are referred to since I have the standard batt.
Looks good, I am also looking for one.
but not shipping to sg
I ordered one of these. Should be here one day next month. I hate waiting, but that's what it is when shipping from overseas.

Mine was delivered on Friday. Very nice... fits perfectly and doesn't add much extra to the phone. It easily slips into your pocket fine even with the rubber which is only very slight. The buttons are covered with the rubber giving it a nice feel while protecting them. I got the black one and the phone feels very good in the hand with it on. Looks very stylish and still retains the GNex look while protecting it.
Hope this info helps. Only issue was it took 3 weeks to get to me..... only got the postal service to blame for that though LOL
I ordered 2 last weekend. My GNEX had been the first phone that I've gone naked with for this long and I'm loving it, but get freaked out of the thought of dropping it with no protection. Hopefully this is a good compromise.

I'm using the CDMA version with the extended battery and the fit is fantastic.

This case feels great AND it's minimal enough that it maintains that sexy nexxy look and feel. Seriously, it looks great in person. Couldn't be happier!

I finally received my TPU bumper last week. It's definitely for the GSM version, though I don't mind it on my VZW phone. I like it a lot. But yesterday, the black TPU portion separated away from the white plastic section at the USB port area so I can't use it anymore. Could just be a fluke in my case though. I contacted the original seller to see what they can do.

The quality of the plastic is superior. Once I bought one for my Galaxy Nexus I've got one for every phone since then. They are the best TPU brand for phones.
You won't regret it. It's cheap too!
My SII Skyrocket Diztronic case ended up being my favorite of the various cases I tried.
Not at all flashy. Nothing special about it.
It just "works" properly. And doesn't get beat up like cheaper cases do.
And I like that they are finally doing cutouts for BOTH the volume & power unlike on my last case.
I hate anything covering the power or volume buttons. Though some folks do like that.
I've used these cases for 2 years on Captivate, Infuse, Galaxy Nexus and Note. They're grippy, durable and fit perfectly. I just ordered one for my S3. Thanks for the heads-up.
I already have Rock Case, 4 Cruzerlite TPU cases... and a Leather pouch... Do I need/want one more....?
I have a Cruzelite...definitely sub par to the Diztronic cases I've had in the past and I'm sure it will be the same with the new one I have on the way.

Sorry for the delay in getting our S III cases up guys, I was out of town and had an employee put them up. Unfortunately she accidentally set the start selling date as July 6th so the pages never went live. I said didn't you realize we weren't getting any orders?! We sent inventory to Amazon on Friday so Prime shipping options should be available either Tuesday or Wednesday.
We did include a screen protector with this release made of Japanese film. When we first started including screen protectors we were using a Korean film, which is slightly better than Chinese but still had some rainbowing and purpling. These Japanese based ones are great, very good clarity. Even though including them almost doubles our costs we've kept our prices the same for the time being. Thanks everyone for your continued support!

The company resides and manufactures in America (Madison, WI, near me!!). The customer service is absolutely OUTSTANDING. You basically end up talking to a real person who is dead set on making sure you're satisfied.
And TPU, in general, is perfect for me. Thin, adds a little grip but doesn't stick in pockets.

cldn't agree more, they are indeed bad. Just ordered Diztronic for my S III . Loved it on my Nexus , was waiting for a week for it to be available in the meanwhile i thought i would try cruzerlite . Apart from the fit, i dint like the looks of it too, esp that i wanted something with a plain back matte finish . Diztronic was the perfect fit . Love it Love it!!!
Actually they are in Madison, but my EVO 4G LTE Diz TPU's specifically stated Manufactured in China.
I put them in a bowl of water and they don't sink so I'd guess they aren't full of lead.
The water did turn green and looked like antifreeze though (just kidding!)

We are in Madison, WI but unfortunately we have our cases made in China for the time being. I'm looking at potentially having them made in Akron, OH but it's not set in stone at this point. If anyone has any contacts with US based factories that can manufacturer TPU cases feel free to contact me. For now we are using the same lingo everyone else uses, "Designed in ___ Manufactured in China". Our screen protectors however are manufactured in Japan. Some of you should be receiving your GS III cases today, I know at least one XDA member received theirs on Saturday as they were in Wisconsin. I'm looking forward to seeing some feedback as my GS III from Sprint hasn't arrived yet!

It doesn't have a cutout for the camera, as in my opinion I'd rather have it covered so it's protected. If someone can show me an example of diminished picture quality because of it I may be swayed to make a cutout for it in the future. As far as going all the way to the edge of the glass, from what I understand it's not possible to do so on the GS III because of the way the glass tapers on the edges, so we made the screen protector in the same way as our One X screen protector. It essentially covers the flat part of the glass. You could probably go all the way to the edge with a wet adhesive based screen protector, but with a static type screen protector they would just peel up.

We are in Madison, WI but unfortunately we have our cases made in China for the time being. I'm looking at potentially having them made in Akron, OH but it's not set in stone at this point. If anyone has any contacts with US based factories that can manufacturer TPU cases feel free to contact me. For now we are using the same lingo everyone else uses, "Designed in ___ Manufactured in China". Our screen protectors however are manufactured in Japan. Some of you should be receiving your GS III cases today, I know at least one XDA member received theirs on Saturday as they were in Wisconsin. I'm looking forward to seeing some feedback as my GS III from Sprint hasn't arrived yet!
