Is there a reason why there is no cool cases for the Galaxy Nexus? Options are Silicone to cover the entire device or hard plastic to cover the entire device...
iPhone 4S has the nice bumper style cover, slim metal cover that slides on the device and the strap with bumper. If anyone has a distributor that can mirror these designs on the Galaxy Nexus it would be nice to see if we can start some nice designs...
Are the iphone 4s bumper covers not because the aerial is rubbish and this helps when holding with left hand.. :lol:
All the iFans have the same phone so they need cases to tell each other's apart.

Closest thing I see is a case for the gs2
sgp Neo hybrid ex series
Maybe you can contact them to see if they plan on making one for the galaxy nexus.
I know its not made of metal, but its the closest you can get.

Thanks, I will do this. It's either this or the Otter Box where I cut the case to what I'd like.

OK guys..
Need some tips for selecting which case I should get for my GN. I want my phone to be as sleek as possible with the case on. Using stock battery.
Now, not many shops are stocking accessories yet for the GN. So I have to give eBay a go this time around.
I have shortlisted these two cases:
BLACK GEL S Line TPU Hybrid Cover Case Skin for SAMSUNG GALAXY NEXUS I9250
Black Soft S TPU Silicone Case Cover Skin for Samsung i9250 Galaxy Nexus
Is there any difference between the above two cases ? They have the same pictures and description. Just the title is different. :/
How are the above cases different from the Diztronic mentioned below ?
Diztronic Samsung Galaxy Nexus Matte Back TPU Case Gel Cover & Screen Protector
Thanks
Im rocking the black and clear Andy from site listed below. Do understand any case will add some bulk but this one is very little. Also adds nice protection to the front in case you drop it to protect the screen from cracking.....it doesnt have the volume keys cut out but it doesnt bother me....plus its not rubber so no lint being stuck

Also, he said he has a new case coming out that I will def be checking out once it comes out. You can see a preview here

I have one of those first one, the S TPU case and I think it is a perfect case. The added grip at the sides make it very comfortable to hold without fear of dropping it. Go for it

try this thin and nice
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375202
Any one have a recommendation of the thinnest case that protects all four sides of the phone? I have the GSM Nexus and the Incipio and Case Mate options do not provide cover on all four sides. I was wondering if any one has seen something similar but with 4 corner protection
I don't really like cases as I find the ones with a nice feel to "grab" too much when I pull the phone out of my pocket, but I do use a silicone "skin" occasionally when I want to keep the phone from jostling around in my cupholder or if I'm doing an activity where I don't want the phone to slide out of my pocket easily. They're dirt cheap too, only $2-$3 on ebay.
Rearth RingKe Slim

Definitely a toss-up between Rearth Ringke SLIM, SGP Neo-Hybrid, and SGP Ultra Capsule.
Here's an excellent video review of the SGP Neo-Hybrid. I'm really interested in seeing the same reviewer do the Rearth SLIM, and sent him a PM requesting it. I hope he obliges
The problem that I have with the rearth and the hybrid is that they don't come completely up the side of the phone. I wouldn't mind if they came flush. The capsule might be a winner I'll have to find more pictures.

The Rearth indeed doesn't come all the way up on the sides, however the Hybrid does. Check out the review I linked you, specifically 1 minute and 53 seconds in - you can see the rubber part comes up and slightly over the phone.
In either case it doesn't really matter, either way the top and bottom DO have extruding "lips" so when you place your phone flat on a surface, the screen won't be touching it.

Oh thanks I didn't notice the lip on the Hybrid.. Interesting. Thanks
any of these fit the extended battery in cdma version
I'm currently using the diztronic rev 3 matte black one . Works great and it fits over the extended battery.

I just got my GSM Nexus, and just installed an XO skin (non-case version) on the screen. do any of the above case suggestions interfere with screen protectors? I'm looking to getting a thin case just to increase the grip on the device.
I wish someone would make something like the diztronic but thinner. That way it would have grip and a little protection, but still feel close to stock and fit in docks and such. I saw something like this years ago on a nokia phone.
I have a diztronic case and it's not bad but too thick Imo. I ordered one of those "skin" stickers, but haven't received it yet.

I went with the sgp Neo hybrid. It's much thinner than I expected and provides full coverage. My only is that it's smoothness is hard to get used to and is a little slippery. Hopefully I won't drop it

SGP Neo Hybrid
SGP NEO HYBRID!!!!! and since you have the gsm version itll fit like a glove
HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Sgp Neo hybrid ftw. Best case IMO. Its not slippery for me at all. And its pretty damn thin for a 2 piece case. They even sent it hand gift wrapped. Great customer service !

LTE Gnex owners need something
I found a couple of cases on ebay/obostore/ioomobile that i really liked. All are hybrid(tpu sides, PC back) like the SGP neo hybrid (difference being, the Neo has PC sides and TPU back), and are way cheaper than the Neo, just 11$ on obostore. Has any1 used these and can attest to their quality?

The SGP Neo Hybrids look much nicer, and more high quality. I would suggest going for them, you won't be disappointed.

it states 2 in 1 material meanning one case 2 material, and i have seen and used these cases.
I guess you could not use the back plate and you have a bumper style case? .
Can you do that with the SGP Neo? I thinking of ordering the Momax one

one piece two tone, you can will all tpu if you want, just cut the back off
Got the Momax case from eBay.
Fits really well with stock GSM. TPU sides provide added grip from the material and due to ergonomics.
The back plate...doesnt do much? Nice to have I guess. As mentioned above, its a once piece case. I feel as if the case will lose rigidity if I try to cut it out, so I havent tried it.
The screen protector I have not used but it doesnt seem that great. Its cloudy.
A good case overall. Lots of retailers are selling it now for about $10, search for it.

is the momax icase pro slippery?? would like to try this one out due to availability in indonesia and also there are holes for power and volume rocker.
i bought nillkin mobile skin case clear black, it's not slippery, but too bad the power button and volume rocker are hidden, and when i tried to push power button, i often find myself accidentally push the volume rocker on the other side.
It provides more grip than no case, but less grip than silicone which personally is good. I think its perfect.

thanks for the information. very tempted to buy one when my 3rd galaxy nexus replacement arrive some time next week.
just bought momax icase pro black for galaxy nexus today. lol, it looks cool. i hope there's a matter version for the outside tpu soft case would make this case perfect!
it catches finger print very easily on the glossy tpu material outside, but what the hell.
update: the glossy tpu really fingerprint proof indeed. not slippery and ease of use in and out jean pocket. like it like a lot!
Wow, i really like this case, great build! Cheaper than SGP, much better than Nillkin Mobile Skin Case Clear Black.
It has thicker lips too which protect more glass surface on front, sometimes it hinders my finger to navigate the cursor to the edge of the screen when typing. Some people appreciates the thin lips on SGP Ultra Hybrid though.
The stock screenguard is a clear one, fingerprint and oil magnet for sure!
update info on momax icase pro for galaxy nexus i9250 black, i can confirm that this case is compatible with samsung official extended battery 2000mah. fits perfectly in hand, adds build quality perception 'cause of the added minimal weight on it.

Hey guys,
Got my hands on the Neo Hybrid from SGP, this is a 2-piece hybrid style case that is unique from others as it features a plastic bumper instead of a shell. This allows for a much thinner overall form factor and different look. This is one sleek and stylish case! Although it doesn't provide much protection, it is a pleasure to use and surely to attract some looks! You can check it out completely in the video below;
not a fan of the case but good review
not a bad case, wouldn't mind adding it to my collection of auxiliary cases. where can it be purchased?

Thanks! You can buy it at http://www.sgpstore.com
Not the most protective but the only case that keeps the beautiful shape of the galaxy nexus. I would dare say it makes it look better. Don't know how they came up with it but its amazing. Someone noted that the silicone can sag after a bit but I don't think it will be as big of a problem with the design of it for this case. The rim will be snug... only chance of sagging could be the camera hole in the back.
My only regret after getting the matte silver is not also getting the black and reventon yellow as well!

It most definitely is! As I stated, it is aimed at quality and style over protection
Just went to the site and the only one I see is the Ultra Hybrid and an Ultra capsule. Wonder if they sold out or something. Anyone know the difference between the Neo and the Ultra Hybrid??

I just noticed that, weird. With regards to the Neo and Ultra Hybrids, the Neo Hybrid has a silicone inner layer and a polycarbonate bumper (comes in 2 pieces). Whereas the Ultra Hybrid has a TPU rim with a polycarbonate backing and is a 1 piece case.
I've been looking through tons of case threads. I own the incipio that Verizon sells and the seidio active. Both great case but the incipio became tinted and gross and the seidio is a dust and dirt magnet and my phone ends up with dust inside the case and scratching the back a bit. I love how both these cases look (I have the white of both) I love the sizing and I love the hybrid design. I just need a bit of dust protection the Trident kraken looks nice but I'm afraid it will be gigantic and make my normal teenage use annoying. Anyone with suggestions chime in. If possible I'd love to see pictures of cases too.
