if you want to buy it its cheaper on amazon

Only issue I have with this case is the power button is hard to press. I have tried to use the standard and extended battery and still have issues with it. The case itself is very rigid however making it a solid choice compared to the slightly looser feel of the Diztronic (Which I'm using right now). I would say if you can get past the power button, the case is a solid choice.

LTE here, That's good to hear though that it does loosen up over time. I just could not take the hassle of pressing the power button like that until it did though.
ahh well
I am thinking about getting this case.. but i am not sure how it fits the gsm version :/

This is the one problem I have with this case as well. The way I end up holding my hand to get good leverage to push the power button in causes me to often also hit the volume rocker with the other side of my hand. Other than that, great case.

I got the black glossy Cruzer case from Amazon and it fits snug and tight...better than my Incipio case I purchased from the Verizon store. The case is nice and durable. The power button and 3 prongs are open and the volume keys are closed with a nice rough texture. The volume keys are very easy to use since they are sealed. I recommend this case to GSM Galaxy Nexus owners and the price is not bad at all.
I gave it a 5 star review on Amazon.
Here is a link...
Check out the other designs Cruzer has... Android print case looks pretty cool too.

How is the fit and finish, for lack of a better term, of the case? How tightly does it fit around the face and how are the areas around the mold seam?
I'm currently using this Qubits case and while it is quite good, it is not perfect.

The fit and finish is great. It is not loose around the face or around the seams. Im telling you, this fits nice and tight all around the phone.
Sorry guys.... I'll get pics later today...give me about 2 hours.

I have this case and while it fits perfectly it takes away from the look of the phone. Also makes it bulky and just not the same. I have a smoked one if someone wants it. Will sell it for $5.

Sale at Amazon on these
FYI - if you want more than one, you can get three for the price of two at Amazon - use promo code BUY2GONE. Several different colors, two different patterns.

I got black. I didn't care too much about the color though. I only use the case when I am in route from one location to another. When I'm at home or at the office I take the case off.
Is the sensitivity problem of an S3 with a SGP Neo Hybrid case installed already fixed now?
No.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Real talk, no its not. just received it on thursday, buttons are too sensitive. bought directly from sgp.
I have the revised version of the case or so they said. Volume button is just perfect but power button doesn't feel sensitive enough. On the other hand... it relly doesn't turn off by accident.
Thanks. I despise SGP for really not addressing this issue.

Same here, got them on Thursday, bought from sgp and the problem is still there, really a shame that you pay this price for cases...
I also purchased one. Has anyone tried contacting them, regards to sending another case?

I did a 'manual override'. Shaved the center to reduce sensitivity and the edges to reduce stiffness.
I was just about to buy one because I love spigen's products, but I might look elsewhere now after know this. thanks guys.

Their bumpers utilise a separate button mechanism and don't have this problem. Look at them if you like the Spigen styling.

Note that you do get a back panel film protector with the bumper as well as having the option of combining it with your own custom backs such as carbon fibre or aluminium.

Oh ok. It seems that the neo hybrid will offer more protection than the bumper, that's a deal breaker for me

I got mine on Thursday. And yes the power button is a issue. All I did was take very sharpe razor cut a tiny bit off the power button inside. And it works for me. Keep in mind I didn't cut much off. The volume buttons are great.

Yes it is. Not as sensitive but if you cut to much it will be harder to push. That is why I only cut a tiny bit off.

Argh, I love the looks of the case but I hate how SGP doesn't address this very very simple issue.

It is indeed a very simple fix. Objectively speaking, if you like the look, buy it. It is infinitely better than getting wind up over a 30 second job.

Ok but the thing is that the incipio sicrylic is better than the neo hybrid in terms of protection, right?

Hello all,
I have an issue with my commuter case for my s3. Whenever I try to press the volume up or down, the button seems to miss. If I press it straight in it won't change the volume, but if I push the rubber towards the front of the case a bit, it works fine. Does anyone have a solution to this?

is it in place correctly.. i heard u have to massage the rubber into place in order to have aligned correctly. maybe the silicone stretched and doesnt align like it should. common issue with otterbox cases
I am having that problem with my power button. On top of that, the button is now tearing off. Great case, but the silicone does not hold up as well as I thought it would. And I have only had the case less than 7 months. Bad part is I purchased it from a shop in CT about 2 and a half hours from me. My suggestion is to not take it off and on so much. Any way, good luck.

Sigh... that's just the cheap build quality of the Galaxy S3. It's just a minor annoyance when I used my S3. I just got my S4 and let me tell you the buttons are much sturdier and better integrated. The back though, still feels rather cheap and flimsy. The S4 feels much, much, much lighter in the hand than the S3, like a feather.

The s4 is only 3 grams lighter, I honestly don't think it feels much, much, much lighter. Just saying. But yeah the buttons on the s4 are a bit better then the s3.

Hello all! Just got my new Nexus 7, and I was wondering if your buttons feel mushy at all. Because mine feel do feel a bit mushy, its really my only complaint with the build quality. Do you think I should return it, or do you not think its a big deal?

Unless the buttons are made of marshmallows...
If you can try a demo model at a local electronic store, you can compare yours with the demo model.
Ha. I thought about that. The power button is also slanted on one side ever so slightly. Its a little uneven. Oh well. I don't feel like exchanging it. Not a huge deal.

Some are mush like that, some are firm.
If you use a case with magnetic smart wake, you don't even notice the power button anymore because you hardly ever use it.
I'm thinking of getting one of those. Are yours like that?

I know mine is like that will the case on. It really is not noticeable with the case on. :good:
The buttons are the one thing I dislike about the nexus. Mushy garbage. I saw a tutorial on here about popping the nexus open to fix. Apparently glue from manufacturing process gets in there and jacks it up.
