Sorry for the double threads but I figured this will be better to get opinions. Can everyone say their favorite case for the lte version gnex? Pictures would be great. Also is it a dust magnet? My last case actually scratched my phone a lot by drawing dust into the case.

my favourite is .....
this is called case mate creature case. this is pure silicon(high quality..not like your usual cheap eBay silicon cases)...lil bit of dirt magnet....the best part is the design engraved on the back of the cover...protects the phone very well...no scratches whatsoever...

That's a great work case I'd imagine. I can't seem to find a nice small case
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Unfortunately it seems that the case makers jumped on the gsm version and assumed the lte version would be close enough.
Even with its problems, the ultra hybrid is still my favorite. It's pulled away a touch at the top and the back does get a little loose when hot, but it's not really that bad. I like how it doesn't have cutouts for the buttons, which I like. It feels the least like a case of any I've seen.

Nope, mine is snug since day one. If you bought it recently, I believe you can get an exchange, but don't quote me on that.
Mine only squeeks at the area of the volume controls close to the screen and if I push on the SGP logo on back it has about 1-1.5 mm gap between back of phone and cover? Is this not the case with anyone else? I just got it today but I really don't want to have to pay return shipping
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
How much for that case of your sir? where have you bought it, online?
Does it have the sticky feel to it or just the plain rubbery feel?
I am actully looking for a good case, don't mean o hijack the thread btw.
You have got to be kidding me
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I have the same thing you said on GSM model. I heard that it fits perfect with the extended battery which I'm waiting for right now. Only reason I bought this case.

Yes, It's kinda loose with the GSM model, mine, which is 6 months old behaves exactly like yours. With the extended battery it fits better. Regards!
Does one exist?
I haven't done any extensive search but I looked the other day and stopped at some kind of plastic pouch.
So I don't think so. I'd try eBay, maybe some Korean or Chinese seller has one.

I personally have taken my phone under water using a generic water proof bag. They were 3 for $10 USD. the only problem I had was if the water put pressure on the screen it would go crazy..... I just added more air to it and held it so I had to push through the air to select what I want. Ie picture or video

Well but the skin is definetely not made for a daily use i reckon, I mean to make sure it is 100% waterproof you always have to use a new strip of sealing tape after charging, right?
Would be good to have a modified battery cover for contactless charging. I´m starting to work on a diving base for the next 2 months, and would be good to have something covering my GNx from water.

This is true. The lifeproof case cost over a million USD to develop, and they lucked out that the iPhone 4s was compatible. Not nearly enough people own enough Gnex to make it profitable, plus the GSM would need a completely different case from the LTE. FInally, my own experience with the case sucked. You can only take it off/on 50x before it breaks (not waterproof) and it destroys sensitivity. It's something you only want when theres water around, but you can only take it off/on 50x which sucks. Also, you have to test it every time before you submerge it. The waterproof bags are way better IMO.
Hi
Im working within Construction and my brand new s3 is screaming for protection.
I have been lookin around for some "Work" cases. I have found otterbox defender, but its just pre order and i need a good case right now.
Is there something like otterbox defender for about the same price or lower that is better?
Are There any BIG pouches like krussel has that fits the s3 AND a normal case (NOT work case) ?
Regards
Hooterz
You can purchase the Defender from Amazon, now. The commuter is also a good option.
Maybe this too:

If you're from the US do check out www.pure-gear.com too. Some of their cases look like they can survive through a Nuclear Apocalypse.

The ballistic sg maxx is a nice case and the plastic screen cover fits much tighter to the screen than the otterbox. Still it will let dust in though and it makes the screen look like crap. I took mine off snd have an hd screen protector on it.
Also ordered a pure gear 260 case so well see how that one is.

And it's only 30 on eBay too and ships outside us

Most cases are made of some weird rubber, either they feel cheap or they get stuck in the jeanspocket.
Some cases look great but they always tend to build so much bulk..
Has anyone tried an alu bumper like this one? Looks great atleast..

It looks great yeah but 35 dollars is too much for just a case which is why I didn't buy the official one. If it was a battery case for that price or even a little more like 45-50 then it would be worth it for me

With battery cases like this. You will lose a bar or two on cell phone reception as well as wireless. This was the case for the Galaxy S4. I believe you will lose the function of NFC as well.

How protective are aluminum cases though? I feel like TPU/plastic combos would probably protect the best since it absorbs shock better than metal.

Thought they had a $5 off coupon....
Why does that one bottom corner stick out like that? I'm guessing that's how the case clamps together. Seems like it wouldn't feel very nice.
Yeah not bad, but I'm not a fan of Florida sticking out of the corner there. Always making a mess of things!
Also with it being an Aluminum bumper, I'm pretty sure it's aesthetics only. That's a relatively soft metal, especially with how thin is looks. Any real bump and it will probably dent/scratch easily. It's like using a thicker version of the HTC One as a protective case.

I am holding off as well. Even with the screws, not sure if it'd fit in my Seidio holster without scuffing the crap out of it. However whenever I visit this thread and look online at the pics, it seems unbalanced to me because of the screws.
Waiting for feedback on the aluminum bumper. I'm interested to find out if the bumper keep the back of the phone off of surfaces. It looks like it wouldn't protect the back of the phone at all.
