Just received my Tough case from casemate. It's everything the Otterbox commuter should be. Similar to the commuter considering it's a hybrid with a silicon inside and hard outside. The Outer shell is textured & rubberized for grip. This case can handle a serious drop. Not to bulky like others. Overall this is my favorite out of the 5 cases I've purchased for my SGN

wow that is awesome! Does it fit the LTE extended battery version?
The case mate tough is definitely good. I prefer my OtterBox Defender case over it though. I just got it today and I'm loving it.
I do have to agree with you about the commuter case.

The 'Tough' isn't showing on the case-mate site. They only show one case. I thought I read that they were redesigning it for the LTE version.
Did you find it on ebay or somewhere else?
As mentioned above, would really like to see some pics if you can!
Case looks good, thinking about buying it!

What about the top and the bottom of the case? Is it true that the silicone is kinda flimsy?
The casemate customer support team is top notch.

I'm in the same boat. I have 2 mesh, 3 rubberized back, the clear body glove with kick stand, and a flex protective cover =/

Not to mention, you have too many vibrants.

the best would prob be the t-mobile one but is slightly thicker than the tpu...Next up would be the Amzer tpu case but with all the tpu case you need to add something in the power button slot or it's hard to press. The Chinese tpu cases are just as good maybe not as firm as the amzer but worth the 2 bux..The silcone is ok but feels funny in my hand and atracts dirt and such.
This is the Qubits Snap-On case for the GSM Galaxy Nexus.
This does not fit the Verizon LTE version.
It is very similar to the Incipio Feather and the Case-Mate Barely There.
http://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-RUBBE...9UWU/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1324590852&sr=8-4
The case fits perfectly and is very snug. The case has a rubberized coating on the inside and outside of the case. There is a small lip on the front of the device for minimal lay-on-the-table design. The side edges are very smooth, but the top and bottom edges are a tiny bit rough. It isn't uncomfortable, and I don't really mind. With this design, the top and bottom are halfway exposed, but comparing with the Feather, it does cover more. The case is fairly thin, but not as thin as the Feather. Basically, this just gives me more grip to hold the phone.
It is only $8.90 with prime shipping, a great value IMO.
BTW I have a skinomi screen protector on at the moment, but will be applying XO Skins very soon.

yeah its a nice casae....I have one but i have the LTE version. I bought this not even paying attention. If anyone wants it, ill ship to to ya and take a $5 paypal. Sorry to hijack yur thread. Figure it was better than creating one in the "want to sell" forums for jusgt one case....Thanks guys...PM if u want this
I got it for only around $5 from Amazon. But after one or two days of usage I found it too slippery. I'm waiting for mesh case they provide more grip IMO
Is there gonna be any mesh cases available?

Not bad. Lol @ so many Galaxy Nexus ads.
Looks great. Would that fit the LTE Nexus with the extended battery?

unfortunatly i cant very it however I can tell you that my gsm with the extended battery does fit..and I wouldt see a fitment problem as the inner part of the case is silicone so it can expand a little bit. To be safe I would email Beyond cell just in case
Nice looking case. Been using mine without the case as of late.

Charlie...I made the SGP neo hybrid my normal case...God it feels so good! lol
BTW finally im on franco and AOSP!!! and loving it
I want to buy a new case for my galaxy s3. I think will buy the case from ebay. I am looking for a strong case. I want a case that even if the galaxy will fall on the floor it won't be scratch or any breaks.
I heard about case mate though, speck and more cases but I don't know which is the best. I don't need any special uses.
If it's drop protection you want
My top 3:
Griffin Survivor (my current case)
Trident Kraken.
Otterbox Defender.
I'd stay away from eBay, knock offs are more common there. Just my personal preference.
Just a side note, any case that provides top of the line drop protection will add bulk. But if your like me and prefer a little bulky then your good.

Urban Armor Gear hands down the best case I have owned check it out in the thread in here around the top tons of pics and info there.

Yup IMO, UAG gives the BEST overall protection with the SLIMMEST design.
Thank you very much. I think I will buy the UAG case but where can I buy it in good price? I need a shop that send to Israel.
Before you decide to get the uag at least look at the puregear dualtek, it's a sweet case and the best one I've ever used. There's a thread here with a review of it. I personally think its a better case than the uag.

I got both bumper cases mentioned in that thread, and they're identical. They're also cheap plastic junk.

Well I had also the one but I did not have nice experience with it...I found it quite cheaper one and just looking to replace it..with some hard case...very bad experience....
It claims " Increase antena reception of Nexus 5". I wonder how that is? Then again it also says Verizon nexus 5 lol.

I blason and abacus, yes.
This case just arrived and I'm certainly disappointed. The buttons are devoid of any click feel and the back of the case where my fingers rest feels a little rough around the edges. On the flip side it will keep the phone elevated off flat surfaces while offering marginal protection. My favorite aspect is how minimalist it looks, it's a plain unadorned bumper case that works with the Nexus 5's design aesthetic.
