[UPDATE]This is a very tacky thread, but I'm psyched... - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hello all! I normally dislike these threads but I can't keep it in anymore. Today I placed the order for the GSM version of the GNex phone and it just shipped from Las Vegas, NV. I'm all the way out here in NYC. I was hoping that it would ship from somewhere closer but I guess thats how it is. . Now hunting for cases and screen protectors. Because I am proficient at it, I always use the wet-application protectors. Is the experience like the Nexus S? I had that before I got the GSII.
Thanks for indulging this stupidity.
Update:
Got the phone Friday. Had it rooted and tried the CM9 kangs, but its still WIP. Currently rocking AOKP. Love the ROM Control. I can have my Nav bar in any combo, color and layout. Now looking for a nice case that can add some bulk to the phone.
Played some 720p videos on Youtube and the screen is beautiful.
I am looking for an extended battery and a full protection case like the Silicrylic or the Trident Aeigis. Currently reading but I'm still not sure on where in the US I can get one that can fit the GSM version with the extended battery. Is there an extended battery for the GSM version?

Assuming you bought it from Negri Electronics if its coming from NV? They ship quickly, it'll be there on time.
I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

ordered the galaxy nexus yesterday from negri for 565
ordered this case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0065PGWQ0/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
i like cheap ebay screen protectors... they work really good IMO... so i ordered this http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAP...40&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME:L:OU:MOTORS:1123

I have the ditztronic cases for my GS2. Want something substatntial for GNex though. Was looking it at the Trident Aegis or Incipio rubber/shell case.

The CruzerLite Androidified cases are awesome. Just got mine in 2 days ago and couldn't ask for anything better! They are on back order til Feb. 22nd for those who want them though. :/

Was just literally looking at this about 30min ago on Amazon. Let me know how it works/fits. I dont like cases, but when I expect to go out or have the potential of roughing up the phone I use a case, and like the rubber ones (keep the phone from flying off of tables, etc.). But I'm a bit wary that these manufacturers list the cases work for both the CDMA and GSM versions, considering the GSM version is slimmer I don't want it to be loose on the back.

Oh Man! It's going to Friday. Crap. 1 WHOLE WEEK!!!

FedEx Ground? Its quoted at up to 5 business days. Ordering after hours Friday means it won't ship out in time to get on its way yet. That's 5 business days.

i read the reviews before i ordered it... it should be a pretty good fit for the GSM
its only $10 and i need a case for the phone as soon as it gets here
delivery date for the case is jan 31

ordered mine on Thursday morning from negri..it arrived Fed ex ground one day later ...I was impressed. .
Question though, how did you get the 565? I paid 63

You think waiting a week is bad?? My GSM Nexus arrived at my house today but I'm in Afghanistan for another 3 weeks! Oh well, time to hit up amazon for some accessories.

I have the diztronic rev 3 case and its amazing. It fit perfect with stock battery and fits just as well with the gsm extended battery.
I love the cut outs and everything fits perfect and looks great.
I also order those screen protectors too. I paid 99 cents for 6 so I figured I might as well try them.
I put one on in my bedroom. Dust destroyed it lol. Next one I put on in bathroom after shower and perfect.
for 99 cents 6 of them and its great imo.
I was never one to get the great screen protectors because I always got the cheap ebay ones and they usually worked great. These are the dry ones and no rainbow effects, still smooth, and getting bubbles out was a breeze.
Highly recommend both protector and case!!!

$630, I'm assuming you mean?
Negri had a sale on a small batch of Canadian models they got for $595 on Thursday afternoon (bad timing, eh?), and there was a $30 off coupon working for the first day of the sale. So a few of us got it at $565.

Don't think they have a storefront. They'd surely ship to your house. You'd have to pay sales tax though.

[VIDEO] Droid X Argyle TPU Case Review

I made a video review this morning for the Droid X Argyle TPU Cases. I used a Droid 2 to record it, so the video quality isn't quite professional quality
For some reason on all the videos I've made on the Droid 2, the first 2-3 seconds have a high pitch whine in the audio. Anyone else had that problem?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lv3ntrp1F9c
i just ordered this from ebay for about $3 shipped. sure it's from hong kong, but my droid x won't be shipping til at least the 3rd so i can wait.

Yes you can get them cheaper if your willing to wait a few weeks, but if you already have your phone that could be a costly mistake, as who knows how many times you might drop it the cheapest US seller I could find was selling them for $7.95 shipped.
i'll agree with that. get selling!
also since you do have them, couple of questions. are they a soft material like those silicone cases? do they have a rubberized finish so that they don't slide much?

They are softer then a crystal poly carb case, but harder then the rubber/silicone case. These have a smooth finish, so they don't grip like the silicone cases do -- which personally i like, since its easier to take out of my pocket. but others might like more grip. the main advantages i see to TPU over silicone is they don't sag like the silicone ones do, they don't pick up lint, and they are easy to clean.
Just wanted to let anyone who is thinking of purchasing these cases. Just got mines delivered, first off perfect fit and every hole cut out perfect ( headset,mics,speakers) its thin ( it feels as if It was naked to me ) love the texture and feel of it ) Fast delivery and Honest seller. By the way I will be ordering a blue one on monday . Thanks again for selling these cases ..

Glad to hear it! I love my TPU case. The design is so simple compared to cases I've used in the past (Speck CandyShell, SwitchEasy Capsule Rebel, etc). Seems to provide almost as much protection with 1/2 the bulk! Considering how big these phones are, slim cases are a must in my opinion.
yeah! i just got mine in!! i am very pleased with the cases! they have a nice grip but smooth enough to slide in and out of my jeans/dress pant pockets with NO LINT! thanks for the extremely fast shipping!
i have some pics of my new droid x w/case
awesome! 2 satisfied customers
Which do you like better, the clear or the smoke? I seem to be selling considerably more of the smoke then any other color. Not much demand for Red or Orange. Maybe come Halloween the Orange will be selling like hotcakes!
haha!! i am leaning toward the smoke! it's a nice dark color that matches the droid very nicely! and the argyle print is subtle on the smoke. I do like the clear though! its a nice change of pace. I can understand the low demand for orange haha. its a bold color! now all we need are some bold people!
I would totally buy an orange one if Verizon lets me upgrade (Clemson Tiger fan). My contract isn't up until next summer, but I got an early upgrade offer in the mail today on any smartphone. It's not showing up online, so I'll have to call tomorrow and find out if I'm really going to be eligible. The fine print on the offer says I must be 180 days into a contract, which I am. Will let you know how it goes!

I was thinking of marketing some of the colors to different sports fans earlier today. i put up an eBay listing with the word "vikings" in the title for the purple case. I live in WI so I should be able to sell some Red to the Badger fans! good luck with early upgrade. sprint lets me upgrade every year since I'm a preferred customer (whatever that means). thats pretty awesome if you can upgrade after only 180 days! do you have multiple lines on your account or something?

We have four lines on our account. Three of the four lines were listed on the package as eligible, as long as they are upgraded by August 31st. I have never received an offer of this sort before the X.
well that would certainly make you a "preferred customer" in my book! i wonder if they are worried about people jumping ship for the iphone 4, and are offering early upgrades? although you'd have to be a fool to leave verizon and their droid x for at&t and the iphone in my opinion!
still haven't gotten mine. phone should be in monday. perhaps case will be in then too lol. if not then i may just have to order for you. need a second case anyway for my car mount.
Wow, my new shipment arrived super fast. Shipped from Honk Kong at 11:00pm at night 8/3 and is scheduled for delivery this morning 8/5! Man DHL is impressive. Apparently they clear packages through customs in the air, logistics at its finest!
So smoke is back in stock... or will be in the next hour.
Are these the same cases as DCMUGEN? If they are will you be carrying the screen protectors too? I had already ordered my case before I saw this post but if you are going to carry the screen protectors I will order them from you.

I've been considering ordering screen protectors and selling them as package deal, but i haven't yet. No, these are not the same as the DCMugen cases, those have 1 large cutout on the back, which many people have complained about (I get people emailing asking to verify that mine don't have one large cutout). The ones I have have 2 smaller cutouts, leaving less of the phone exposed. Thanks

I got the same thing in the mail a few days ago, and stopped at a nearby store Wednesday. After talking to the salesguy for a few minutes I realized I knew more about the phones than he did, and stopped asking questions and just told him I would buy the Droid X and to please order one for me... But yeah, my contract isn't supposed to be up until like early next fall, late summer, something like that, so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the notice in the mail! I have a Touch Pro2 right now, and I just hate it. It's my second WinMo phone, and the frequent performance problems just annoy the crap out of me (I'm running the stock 6.5 ROM just cause I'm too scared of bricking it), so I'm making the jump to Android.

I just got my DCMugen case and it does not have 1 large cutout on the back. It looks exactly like your case. I'm not trying to tear you down, because I would have ordered from you if I had seen this before I ordered from him.
DCMugen is cheaper (by about $4), but you will get your case much slower (took about 2 weeks to get mine from him).

Epik Gel Case for MT4G

I bought one of these for my MyTouch3G last year, and thought it was the BEST case I've ever had for a phone. I'm desperately wanting one for my MT4G, but haven't found one anywhere online yet. Anyone know where we can get these? I bought mine on eBay for $4.99 and free shipping from Hong Kong, and I got it in less than 2 weeks.
Here's a link to a current eBay auction for the MT3G version so you can see what I'm talking about...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...0&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123#ht_5478wt_876
I agree, those are the best cases I've used. Had one for my original MyTouch and loved it. Hopefully they will get in gear and make them for the 4G now.
That's like the TPU cases others have mentioned, and been on the lookout for on eBay.
I like how they're flexible, but not plain silicon, and maintain the profile of the phone as much as possible.
I gotta pick up something pretty soon. I'd consider just a Phantom Skinz, but with a 3 year old who loves Angry Birds running around the house I need something that offers some drop protection.

That's awesome news about him getting these cases in the next 1-2 weeks. I'm on my second T-Mo case, and I really haven't been too thrilled with them. Way too much money IMO for cases like these, and I'm considering returning/exchanging my newest one (soft rubber sleeve with white plastic backing) because the rubber attracts WAY TOO much dust.

There's Epik cases on eBay for the HTC HD7, didn't that come out the same day or about the same timeframe as our MT4G? If so, why hasn't there been an Epik case made yet for our phone?
i have no clue, but on a side note tmble has these type of cases at their stores. im tempted to get 2 of them. they have a sale going on 2accessories will land u 20% off and 3 will get u 30% off, but their 20 a peice....

Amazing Find - 97% Off Nexus 7 2013 case on Amazon!!!

Was looking for a case for my new N7.2 and found this. It's usually a $50 case, on sale for $2.99.
http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Google-New-Nexus-Case/dp/B00DE8R3BO/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
Came out to around $7.50 with regular shipping. For the price, I doubt there's any competition.
Good price, but I don't believe anyone has EVER paid $50 for a MoKo case.
Thank you for sharing!
Hopefully the quality will be even better with this new version of the MoKo case.
Now.. to wait for the Nexus 7.2 to actually arrive in Norway, which is most likely not until October.
Awesome find. I just ordered one. Thank you.

Same here. I just ordered a wireless charging pad/adapter and want wireless charging over a case. I have a Moko case on my 2012 Nexus 7 and its great. Very well made.
It's .99 cents now 10.97$ shipped to Canada
I ordered one when it was $2.99, then just saw it's dropped to $0.99, contacted the seller to see if I can get a price adjustment, fingers crossed.
I have to say that these cases make it hard to pull down the notification pane. Otherwise good deal.
I just saw it for 99 cents and $4.98 shipping. It won't ship until August 7. It appears to be a great price for a case with a built in stand. I'll have my Nexus 7 (2013) tomorrow.

Darn, I'm getting me three :x
Wireless charging is capable of working with a phone/tablet that is 5mm off of the pad. That is the requirements for the qi standard. I would say most likely that with a case on it will still work. It does on my GS4 with an Otterbox Commuter case on it. Just a heads up.

Free: Moto X Bumper Case

I know a few people here live in the Toronto area, so...
I ordered 2 bumper cases from China ($1.90 each) and I got 3 shipped to me, so I have an extra one I don't need.
The bumper is great. It fits well, and the two-tone red/black gives my black Moto X a cool look.
If anyone is in Toronto, and can meet me downtown in the Yonge St. area, you can have my extra Moto X bumper case.

Me too. I do like the case though.
I bought the $7 Amazon one too. :laugh: But it ships from someone in the US, so it's worth it to pay a few dollars extra to get it early. Especially this time of year, stuff overseas can take extra longer.

i know that slim/sleek/svelte is all the rage these days, but if you're like me, you're paranoid about drops. i've used this case on my n4 since day one and couldn't be happier with it. i'm definitely picking up an n5 version of it when i get around to ordering my n5. (which should be tomorrow, woo!)
just wanted to throw this case out there as option for those who want more serious protection than the slim and hybrid stuff currently out there. if this case is anything like it's n4 counterpart, it's not going to add a ton of bulk to the phone. i think the protection/bulk trade-off is right in a sweet spot with this case.
here's a link:

i'll be sure to return to this thread with pics when i have the phone and case in hand.
This seems similar to the dual layer Incipio cases for some phones. If it is then I agree this is a great balance for cases offering heavy duty protection.

I ordered the white one on Nov 1st and was expected to ship on the 12th, never got a shipping confirmation so I'm assuming mine was delayed too. Disappointing but at least I got it with the free shipping offer!

They offered free shipping?

That's annoying. I was looking forward to seeing if the Nexus 5 case lived up to the 4's well deserved hype. I've ordered two cases already for a combined $13, but I was looking at also getting this case for the best protection.
we just ordered one the other day and got a shipping confirmation for the purple one saying it was on the way...

Did you order it through the Digital Media Source or the CTC store, they both offered the same products, but getting it through CTC store was half the price.

Sorry i was mistaken, I think it was actually $0.99 with $4.50 shipping when I ordered the white one. Still no shipping confirmation... It was suppose to be delivered by the 19th. I'll give them a day or two more before I ask about it. Not really in a hurry as I have the Spigen Ultra Hybrid as well as the Am Case bumper delivering today.

CTC Store... I'm a cheap ass lol.
Did the CTC store shutdown or something? None of the nexus 5 acases are available to purchase from them, and the CTC store (on amazon) doesn't seem to be selling anything at all.

yeah I'm beginning to think something is up with the CTC store myself. The low prices seem to good to be true. Mine say it has shipped and was supposed to be delivered already but I have yet to see it.

I had an order in at that price but I cancelled it, now I regret it, I can't find the cheaper listing now...
I'll go and contact them tonight and see what is with them dissaperaing on amazon.
I also noticed CTC store had pretty much disappeared.
I cancelled my order with them around 4pm est and bought it from another vendor.
At 5:30pm est they sent me a message telling me that they're sorry, they shipped my package today, and to write "REFUSED" on it and send it back.
At 6:15pm est they sent me a notification saying it had shipped.
I'm going to play along and give them the benefit of the doubt, but the way they're going about things seems very peculiar.
Where can I buy this case shipped to or in Canada?
Egh I have this for the Nexus 4 and it gets damaged so easily on the back. The material takes permanent scratches like nothing.
sent from my Nexus 5
