Get the seidio surface, mine just came today and it puts the incipio case i got from verizon to shame.
It's really thin, the fit is perfect, and it doesn't attract fingerprints or get stuck going in or out of your pocket.

Which Incipio case did you have? I have the Incipio Feather case coming, as I absolutely loved the Feather on my ZuneHD.
Just got the incipio feather today, most likely going to be returning it to try out the casemate barely there or the seidio case.
i really dont like the feather fit, its very loose on the nexus

Are you using the extended battery with your phone?

just a standard battery, i HIGHLY doubt the case will fit with the extended battery. Especially because there's a front piece and a back piece that snap together.
from the youtube review it looks like it's missing the cut off for the 3 pin connector.

like Chongo said. And it's not even really a "hard case". it's a double layer case.... with one layer being capable of attracting lint from alternate dimensions. I don't often use cases.... but to be completely honest, i'm much happier with this slim case i got off of eBay for a few bucks that i've been using for about 2 weeks than i was with the Defender that i used for a day.

Nice, yeah if you need form fitting then otterbox is not for you. I work in nightclubs often so I use it for then but other then that I keep her naked... I love this phone.

I got the body glove when I bought the phone. I is very well made and fits great. it is pretty thin, so it doesn't bulk the phone up too much. I also bought the leather case (att premier store for 20 bucks) with the magnet that puts the phone to sleep when you close it. nice feature. swivel ratcheting belt clip. It fits the bare phone nice and snug. It is supposed to work with tight fitting covers, but I can't see one being thinner than the body glove, and that will not slide into the case well at all. way to hard to get back out. I do reccomend the body glove for a thin rubbery case, though.

So currently I have a cheap case I bought on ebay and it's messing up my invisibleshield on the sides. Whenever I grip the sides it pushes up against the shield and dust gets in there.
I'm considering buying a new case but I'm not sure what one to get so it won't mess up the shield. Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking the tpu case but I'm not sure. What do you guys think?

Hands down the best cases you can get for your phone at the TPU fusion cases. All TPU cases are great, but the TPU fusion just has a slightly higher level of detail.
There is a thread in this section about the TPU fusion cases that also has an online coupon code for like 10% off their already really cheap price.
I would link but I'm feeling lazy today. Happy hunting

I originally bought the black gel skin from T-Mobile when I bought my phone. It was a lint magnet, though, and it added a significant amount of bulk to the phone. So I ended up buying a translucent smoke colored TPU case, OEM HTC variety, from Amazon. It's nice, feels good, looks good, has cutouts for all the buttons (so they aren't hard to press like some TPU cases) and doesn't add a huge amount of bulk to the phone, while also making it easier to hold onto.
I have used the Otterbox Commuter and the TPU Fusion case. I switch between the two. Plus they both protect the phone well and fit inside of my Seidio holster.

Is the Seidio holster you're using the standard one for the MT4G? Or did you have to use a larger size? I'm looking for a good case to replace the Seidio one I'm currently using, but I like the design of the Seidio holster...

As previously stated, the trident case is very good, but if your not willing to spend the money you can go for the TPU fusion. Its cheaper, and still has a modern look to it.

It's not so much a case IMO but more of a glove. The phone remains extremely slim still and its pretty stiff.

Try the Otterbox Commuter case. It's fairly cheap for a otterbox, and it looks like it'd be a good case that would work well with invisishield,
Anyone have any thoughts on which case is better?--the Case-Mate Barely There or the Incipio Feather Hard Shell.
I want something that won't increase the thickness of my phone too much but will still offer some protection. Thanks!
I have the incipio case and it's pretty nice. Adds a bit more girth, about 1mm in every direction, feels good in my meat paw. It definitely adds some good protection, which is what I'm more concerned about. It has that soft feel plastic and rubber that everyone loves. Biggest complaint is it's a lint magnet.
I have both ordered and they should arrive the first part of the week (according to Amazon). If no one else replies before then, I'll get lots of pics of them both and post my thoughts.
Pacifik: is that the double cover case? I saw that in the Verizon store and didn't like how it had both the silicone case and the hard shell. I'm looking at the one that's just the hard shell (found on their site--I can't post the link because I'm new).
LiquidHonesty: Thanks! I'll be interested to see which one you like more.
I love the look of both these cases. Does anybody have any suggestions for a belt clip holster that will fit either of these cases? I've always used the Seidio combos but the Surface case is thicker than these options.

It is the dual cover case, the hard plastic locks the silicon in place. Need extra protection from all the big machines I work with.

Haven't had a chance to try out the Case-Mate case, but the Feather case is good if you want the LEAST amount of protection, while still having a case on. It is a very nice case in terms of material, because it feels very soft almost like a hardened suede type feel. As with all snap ons though be careful that you don't get sand in the back or that could really scratch up the backside.
Feather case though doesn't protect the top and bottom corners of the phone as well though. I've dropped my nexus s a few times that had a feather case and the corners were always the ones it landed on.. Must've been my bad luck, but in any case, my corners are a bit dented up.

Well the case is 138.6 x 72.6 x 2.3 mm
The Galaxy nexus is 135.5 x 67.9 x 8.9 mm
So about 3-5 mm larger on the width and length, and the thickness would be about 2mm thicker.
isnt the case mate one loose on GSM phones?
Has anyone seen these cases in a store? Would love to see one in person. I thought I read somewhere here that bestbuy has the case mate but I didn't see it at mine.

for the LTE or GSM version?
I have the Incipio Feather Hard Shell case from Verizon. It was between this and the glossy body case they had. I asked the rep if i could try on different cases to i could get a feel for the one i want. This one was hands down the best looking and best fitting. Its a 2 piece case yea. It does attract lint. But its really an awesome case. I got a Zagg screen protector also, and with this and the case, it gives my phone a really premium look. The added thickness isn't really noticeable if ur just using the phone as u normally would IMO. I would honestly choose this over any case out there. Great for, nice stylish look and great protection.

Just to clarify, I'm pretty sure you have the silicrylic case not the feather.

D3o cases are junk. Especially the ones with the softish plastic backing. The all black one piece is alright,but still junk.
The ones with the colored plastic backing are prone to cracking just be taking off the case. Big no-no since I wash my case periodically.
On top of that, the 3.5mm slot is too small. Only slim jacks fit while the d3o case is on. I'm not willing to change my Sennheisers just because design flaws of the case.
Don't forget how much force it takes to push the power button. Over time,this can damage the power button by recessing it in. I switched to the white body glove. Its properly designed and does what I need it do.

I purchased the white body glove case from tmobile store and its doing the job. I've dropped the phones a couple of times already, and its still doesnt show any scratches unless your eyeball is touching the case.
I got one from moster accessory website called the black transfusion hard cover case an I really like it as my second case. My first case was the D30, but the transfusion case was more cheaper than the d30.

imo dont expect top notch quality with those china items.. the Ballistic SG series has holster, the OB defender (imo its ugly) lol..
http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/samsung-galaxy-s-3-ballistic-sg-maxx-series-case
I have been through about 6 cases.
I wanted full coverage with a holster. Sadly most cases that offer decent protection add a ton of bulk.
This Ballistic case adds very little bulk. Your phone still feels slim and comfortable. The Otterbox adds way too much bulk and the built-in screen protector is garbage. The Ballistic screen protector is a separate piece and can be left out. It is still not the clearest.
If you want options in a case then go with this:

It has a hard shell for everyday. Then a silicon surround and plastic exo skeleton.

The GS3 otter box defender holster looks to have the same sort of phone-side clip as the incredible s does. It's incredibly fragile and will break off if you look at it funny. I went though 3 of the holsters in a matter of months (their warranty service is top notch at least) before giving up on it and using a commuter case with a pouch holster until I replaced that phone.
I just ordered a seidio extended battery and one of their active cases, so I'll give my opinion of it when it arrives. The clip is an entirely different design.

yeah i read about the fragile clip and about the rubber getting loose in few weeks. Thats the reason i asked for a refund from the seller on ebay. He gave me a full refund, and the next thing I know a week later i received the case in the mail lol.. so got it free basically. Lack of communication on their end i guess. But overall I dont like the case much. I would give the ballistic a try.
