Hi, just wanted to give my impressions of this case on the GSM Nexus. Out of the box it's nice, soft touch paint job, nice accents around the camera and the bottom piece (hard to see in pics, but kind of a gloss black chrome) and a soft velvet lining.
When I put the phone in, it was clear that this case was made for the Verizon model as the GSM model slides in just a little too easy...like if the bottom is off the phone can just slide out.
With that being said, once the bottom is on it's a different story. The phone feels secure in the case and the bottom takes effort to pull off, so I don't really see it as an issue. I can't say for sure but I think this case would fit with the GSM extended.
Anyway, here are some pics:

I'm undecided on if I'm going to keep it. I'm not sure I like how much border is around the front, and I'm used to darker phones so the silver kind of sticks out a bit for my tastes. It was 16 on Amazon so whatever, maybe I'll just keep it for backup. I currently have these two cases which I really like:
eh...after using this case for a bit I've noticed some slight give because of the thinner GSM model.
Unless you have a skin, avoid this case if you are using the GSM nexus. With a skin it would be perfect.
I'm sending it back because of the size different and to be honest, I find the silver border distracting.
Nice case. Wish they had for lte variant.

This is for the LTE Nexus, that's why it's loose on GSM. It's actually growing on me so I may keep it after all.
Just curious what screen protector you're using? Looks nice.
Thanks, just a 3 pack from the Verizon store.
Just a side note this case would work great with GSM and a full body skin on. Thinking of doing that actually.

Why haven't we seen any of these on Ebay or for sale on any phone website? I would like to pick up a few extras just to mess with and make custom back covers but it seems as if we only have the one extra our phone came with. Due to the fact the entire back is the battery cover it lets us change the whole phone without a case.
I highly highly doubt that there will be additional battery covers in the future.
When was the last time a phone came out with extra battery covers a LONG time ago.
I know a lot of people would like them but it's probably not going to happen. Everything now is based around cases.
The fact that tmobile included an extra cover with the phone is great but rare. I don't even know why they did it.
I think he means more like replacements or extras, to mod or paint.

Yes or different colored batteries covers , im really looking for a stock white colored one i am looking into painting my own but would rather have one factory made.
I was hoping they would have this as well. I mean, they can probably fabricate it pretty easily. I would buy a rubberized back for 10 bucks and forget the case.
These are not battery covers, but silicone that goes over the battery cover. I have one, and they are nice. Not too much thicker and with a better "grip."

I like the glossy slip. With the white Korean phone maybe well get some.

Looks like they have a pink battery back cover from Anycall......... could this be the begining?
Overall. Quality of this product is superb and installation was so easy.
Did it all in about 15 mins + finishing it off with a hair dryer on low heat and 6" away from phone while off to cure the phantom skinz.

They are kinda small. Gotta stretch it a bit when you put it on, and then use hair dryer to make it even better. There is a video instruction on the website. Just followed every step and turned out great.
This is pure sex in my eyes!!!!

The camera I took the pic with is kind of crappy as it isn't as detailed. Pictures don't do the justice. Looks way better in person.
It is also texturized. Not just an image print.
That looks very sweet! May have to look into getting something like this for my cappy! Nice work on the install
if you are in the carbon fiber mood, there is a site that specializes in the 3M film (now in 7 colors!)

I had this same skin for a while.
It actually adds some grip to the otherwise slippery Captivate.
Also gives a small amount of protection.
Initially it is a lint magnet until the adhesive at the edges wears out. But then it looks really good.
For me it only had two downsides:
1. Eventually, it started to lift at a couple of spots.
2. Can't be transferred to another device (like a case can) if you need to replace your phone for some reason.
I picked up this Nex brand Fishbone style case for the Epic Touch.

Like my lock screen? Lol...I have had it four days, and it feels great in hand and slides easily in my pocket (from Jeans to Gym shorts)!
I haven't dropped it yet but all four corners are completely double covered and I expect there would be ZERO damage if I do drop it...
They come in Black, White, Green, Pink, Purple or Red...
I think it is WELL worth the $20-$25 for it, and it looks BAD ASS!
Wow that does look pretty nice. Thanks for sharing, think I might order me one. Does that spine looking accessory snap on and off?

It looks very nice. Thanks for your contribution .
Don't mean to rez a old thread but just got this case today in red and black and its awesome. Only complaint is the lip goes up over the edges a little bit. Also here is a link for $15 with shipping and tax included http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Samsung+epic+4g+touch+nex+fishbone+case

Any thoughts on the raised/textured back? I'm looking at this compared to the flat one such as: http://www.amazon.com/Titanium-Black-Fishbone-Protector-SAMSUNG/dp/B006IZBKCS/ref=pd_bxgy_cps_img_c
Wondering if the textured back would feel good in my hand...

For me, the back isn't really textured or rough, just raised above the rubber inlet. It feels really good in hand, but I think the pricing on the smooth backed one is alot nicer!
Let me know if you have anymore questions...
The ALLKE case from TRIDEA was delivered to me 2 days back after waiting for more than a month. I must say that the wait has been worth it.
I won't be able to link to the images so I am directly attaching them with this post.
What I like about the case :
The case fits very well and feels nice and rubbery. The design on the back increases the grip and you just don't feel like leaving the phone. It's very light and it's weight is negligible. The cutouts for the power and volume keys are perfect. All in all, its an ergonomic case that will provide excellent protection from a drop.
What I don't like about the case :
It doesn't protect the top and the bottom completely.
*I am starting to like this since it does not interfere with the outlets for the power supply or the headphone jack.
Please don't forget to hit the thanks button if this post has been helpful for you!
Do you have any photos of your phone with the case on?

Thanks for the review, I've been interested in the green on since before the s3 was released. Shame about the top and bottom though
Wow. I love the back. I think i might have to grab one. Thanks for sharing.
I have a doubt. Is this cover compatible with the screen protector from TRIDEA?
wish they had it in white with black text
Just received mine....
fast postage by the korean seller...posted on 15/10/2012 and received today in Malaysia.
It a pretty good case

I have posted pics as attachments. The only difference between the two posts is the color of the case.
I can confirm the cover is compatible with the screen protector, also from TRIDEA.

What do you guys think about this case?
Actually I just ordered on from Amazon last night. I like the S curve on the back and that type of soft flexible case. Would think it would hold up better if you dropped phone, but don't know this for sure.

It surely would! I have had this case for many other devices and because it wraps around the screen it protects the actual screen from coming into contact which reduces the chance of shattering the screen. Great case for a low price!
I bought the clear (transparant) one, it's easily get dirty, and it seems i can't make it clean,
It's good for its price, but maybe it's better to pick the colored ones

I guess anything like white or transparent will get dirty quick
mine looks different to the one in the op/video...bought off eBay (Australian seller, as I live in Australia) - as you can see the camera cutout is different.

I really wanted mine to be like that as well! I have no clue why mine is two different cut outs!
