S Line Wave TPU case review! *videos* (HSPA+) - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey guys,
Had my S-line Wave TPU case for a few days now, decided to throw up a quick review! It's a great case, brilliant protection, great cut-outs and it was only £1.75!
eBay link
Here's a quick video review of the case!

Ordered one of ebay as well, for the price you can't beat it. Also sprung for a casemate pop & Otterbox commuter. The TPU is a great value

Bought the black one, is the case transparent?

The black isn't transparent i.e. you won't be able to see the google/samsung branding on the back. There is a clear version on amazon.co.uk. I've been using this case for 3 weeks now and I love it.

Plain Black TPU Case

Has anyone tried this case yet?

It states that it is a TPU case. And, it doesn't appear to have any patterns of any kind. If you have ordered one, let us know how it fits. Pictures would be great also! I will be ordering my Captivate next week!
I found similar items on Ebay. I believe that they still have the argyle pattern, but on the inside; since the material is solid instead of transparent you cannot see them once you insert the phone. I have ordered one and am waiting for delivery.

Awesome! Would love a few pictures when yours comes in! Can you post a link to the eBay auctions where you've seen this? Or, did you purchase the one I posted?
I bought one off of ebay, here is the link (ebay case). Upon further review, I am not sure if Polyolefin is the same as TPU, perhaps it is a blend. I suppose I will find out in a few days.

Thanks for the info!
from your links, if you change the colors to the transparent one, it still has the argyle patterns. probably its the same case with the Amzer brand one...

You are correct, and that was the point I was trying to make, sorry if I wasn't clear. I do however think that the offering is different than the Amzer selection, because all the Amzer cases are made from transparent material. This case however appears to be made from non-transparent material which prevents you from seeing the Argyle pattern that is imprinted on the inside. It still has the pattern, but since you do not see the inside once the phone is inserted then you can no longer see the pattern. At least, I hope this is the case. I suppose I will find out soon enough.
Any of you get this yet? It looks quite promising IMO
Still waiting on mine.
The day after I get my Captivate, it goes out of stock...DANGIT!!!

I will counter your link with a cheaper link...LOL.
TPU Case
There were 2 listed...one from Day Deal, which I bought, and the one linked above which also appears to be Day Deal under a different name. If you want it, you'd better hurry!!!
Only thing I don't like about these TPU cases is that they're glossy...
The Body Glove at least puts the stripes in it to get it grippier... Is it worth over twice the cost? Probably not.
Just received the case from the Ebay link that I posted and I am quite impressed. It is a nice solid black that almost retains the stock look and feel. Much easier to hit the softkey buttons at the bottom and slide the brightness along the top than when I had the black silicone case on it. It is glossy, but looks very nice. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a solid black TPU case, and does not want to see the funky Arglye pattern or whatever it is called. I will try to upload some pictures later if I can figure out how to get the pictures off my wife's camera without a cord...
Look forward to seeing it!

You mentioned this works with the extended battery, does that include the verizon model and does it leave any abnormal bulge. The high gloss case from verizon fits really nice but the speaker cutout has a small gap. With OCD its very annoying.
Excellent product from a company with REAL customer service.

+1. Great case and great customer service. Even if there's a better case out there for my need, I'd still buy a Diztronic case, simply because I want to support companies with old-fashioned customer service.
Ordered one last nite. Can't wait to see how it fits with the extended battery

Fits fine, loved the case...
I have to say though, after using it for a week I took it off, and I had forgotten how slim and light the phone is.
Going caseless now...
I couldn't find the Black Matte v3 cases on Amazon during CES. I ended up ordering a transparent black which I'm unsure if I'll like. I really wanted the black matte as shown in the video and seeing it makes me want it more.
yeah, the guys were at ces, but contact them im sure they ll help you out
I like the case, but I want one in white. Anyone has an email for them, or will I have to open a ticket?
I would love white, but I bought my GF a white TPU case last year and the thing is dank now. I bought her a pink one when I ordered my Diztronic case.
I'll see about the smoke gray. It might not be too bad. I like my SGP Black case now because I don't even notice its on. The black blends in with the screen so well it just feels normal.

You're right. I bought a white TPU case from Diztronic for my Thundebolt last year, and in a couple months, the color went from (somewhat) white to a ugly combo of ugly yellow/pinkish white. Of course it was a glossy version, so perhaps a matte white combo would work better... maybe...
Right now I have a Hybrid S-line TPU that I got for a buck from eBay, and I just love how the white rim of the case contrasts so well against the black face of the phone. It doesn't fit with the extended battery cover though, which is a bummer.
just bought one on ebay !
Thank you !
cant wait, just not sure how it ships to israel and australia faster than canada?
Just search diztronic nexus, only this showed up, bought the back matte

TPU Bumper

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 ordered my case from the op's link for my verizon nexus.
Case came in yesterday and overall its a damn good fit and feel for just $4.
Bought a white one but will probably order a black one as well.
I'll post up pics in a bit.
Got the case from the OP yesterday..*FINALLY*!!
I'm using the CDMA version with the extended battery and the fit is fantastic.
I hate having a case on this phone because it just looks and feels so great in hand naked.
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!

Ordered the b&w, will review it when I get it. Thanks a lot for the tip!
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.
I doesn't notice it in HK!

Please recommend me a case from Ebay

I just bought a TPU case from Ebay which would have been great except for the fact that the cut out for the mini usb is not big enough, so I can't plug in the charger properly =/
Can you please recommend me a case from ebay <$10 (I'm not baller like you guys dropping $50 on a case lol) that covers the phone completely (no Rock Quicksand please). Generally I favor TPU cases because it seems like it has better shock protection then hard cases since its a softer material, but I'm open to all suggestions. A case similar to the Incipio Silicrylic or SGP Neo Hybrid would be great, but they are just more then I would pay for a case. Ebay links are better then Amazon because I need to ship it to Canada.
I'm considering the Mercury Pearl case but 1) all the colors are pretty girly 2) there's a lot of branding on the back
Thanks
You just take an Xacto knife to it and make the hole bigger. Shouldn't be too difficult.

Many Amazon.com sellers do not ship to Canada, so ebay is preferable since HK/China will ship to Canada. Besides, many Amazon sellers just buy products the same Ebay products from China to resell at a mark up. For example the S-Line case posted above.

Simple TPU Case?

Seems like most tablet users prefer folio style cases but I'm just looking for a pretty basic TPU case to be used around the house.
Any suggestions on where I can get them for cheap (other than this on eBay: http://r.ebay.com/al5DuR)?
There's a few cheaper on aliexpress.

Search eBay for the Amzer black gel pudding case. I just ordered that one. I haven't received it yet, so I can't tell you if it's good but the picture looks good and it's cheap.
The VOIA on Amazon is real nice
http://www.amazon.com/VOIA-Premium-...&qid=1390404472&sr=8-2&keywords=voia+lg+g+pad
I paid $22, but some are showing up at $50+ which is crazy. Great quality though.
I've reviewed the "X" style case here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2603815
There are simple "pudding" cases out now too, which are about as plain as you can ask for. I didn't choose that one because I wanted some grippy textures on it, and this suits just fine. And the "X" makes it look cool.
There is also an "S" style case. Not so plain, but IMO not as neat (or symmetrical) as the "X" style, so I skipped it. You can find them on AliExpress if you want.
