I have been waiting on the official Samsung case for the GN, and I found it and ordered. £12 UK.
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/genuine-samsung-galaxy-nexus-mesh-vent-case-black-p33709.htm
Looks quite cool.
I also found a really nice pouch, a company called SENA, I used their cases for my iPhone, from 2G right up to 4S and it's been the best iPhone case I have ever found. They are amazing quality and have never marked a phone. £17 UK

nice finds. At £12 that genuine one is a bargain, I paid £25 for my case mate.

I'll let you know tomorrow once it arrives, I've had the email confirming dispatch now.
Wow, I really hope it will work on CDMA with extended battery. I really like that case.
Aww damn still no official samsung leather pouch yet?
why is mobilefun using photoshopped images? crappy ones at that.

that samsung mesh case looks like silicon so that means stretching. and since it's mesh, it means it will stretch faster. money wasted if it is silicon.
Will they ship to the US? It looks nice and might just pick one up

lad i work with just got his official samsung mesh case...
and it's crap.
make from hard plastic and...it isnt easy to hit the power button with it on, poor show really
Looking to buy an LTE one if anyone is selling one. Just cant justify buying a new one for the price. Hmu here or at [email protected] is you have one
No dude. Its amazing. Very sexy. I get compliments all the time. The metallic looks just like the silver on the phone. Blends in perfect. Now it feels like there isn't a case on at all.
Its very hard to pull off too. Never had it pop off without really trying.

Hope its a good case. I just bought it. If anyone's got a commuter case they want to unload let me know via PM.

Guys I know its a great case thats why im trying to find someone to buy one from. Please lets not make this a review thread. Not trying to be a ****
Hey guys, I know I'm probably late on this as everyone has had this phone for a while now and probably has a case. But I have an SGP Ultra Hybrid case I'd like to give away. I know it says Galaxy Nexus on the sticker but after going through the T-Mobile S2 and AT&T Skyrocket forums, I've finally determined that this is for your guys' phone lol. Anyways, I haven't opened it as I intended to give it away as I have a GSM Nexus and have no need for it.
SGP makes good quality cases; even the box it comes with is surprisingly high quality . If you guys aren't familiar with it I'll do a review on it once my other one comes in. The black part is TPU quality while the white back plate is like a matte hard light-weight shell. It feels premium. After tax and shipping and all that it came out to about $27.
Just wondering if anyone would be interested in it. If enough people want it I'll figure a way to give it out. Thanks.

Oh wow seriously? Then I wonder what this one's for....
The black part is TPU so I'd assume it'd be easy to cut a little square for the external speaker. Sorry guys, I was happy because I thought that I finally figured out it was for the Epic Touch 4G.
The power button is to the right so it's definitely for an S2 variant. The size and form factor, plus the little hump at the bottom, has to be for the ET4G.
If you guys still want it I'll still give it away. Usually SGP cases are perfect, dunno how they mess that up.
Id love to have it. I love SGP. And I do need a case! College student here! I could use it!

I checked that too. But that phone is more curved out on the sides. Its not boxy looking like the Sprints version. I wanna open it and check at a Sprint store if it will fit your phone, but I would feel lame to give away an opened product lol.

It'll fit, but like a poster before me said, the speaker and 3.5mm port won't work.

Depends, hardware is better, but development is going to be slow and not as great in the long run. It really c;mes down to software or hardware, personally I will never buy anything not called a Nexus. But, it is your decision.

Agreed however they are scheduled for an OTA ICS this week ( T-Mobile) which should speed up development. I myself come from the White S2 and I must admit I like my GN much more. Its a sleek sexy phone, not to mention the pure android experience, something you can get a taste of but not the full experience on the S2
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
The Nexus is like a Galaxy S2½. So, there should be something else added to the trade. Maybe GS2 + US$100 = GNex.
Nope. Wouldn't suggest it.

Because it's white? Get a white case if you want that color. Your getting a lesser phone if you trade.

I think its a better phone but its software is less. Nowhere near the same dev support or official support. If history repeats itself the s2 will only get one major update. I doubt it will ever see anything past ics.

Yeah thinking about it its a aweful idea mostly for the reason above unless u want to update your phone soon again lol
You will.get jellybean come the end the year and the gn will still rock I think you would regret it.

I think I'm going keep my gn I really like it I don't know much on the s2 just that it looks cool.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Don't get it. As a fellow Kitchener dude (that doesn't matter, though) believe me, you won't like an S2. I've used one, and I prefer my current GNex. The screen on the S2 feels like a step down despite being non-pentile, due to the low resolution. Also, TouchWiz is horrid. There are so many minor things at which the GNex is a better choice.
1) Dev support
2) Timely updates
3) Better screen
4) Better design (curved)
5) Stock
6) Better battery life
7) NFC
8) On-screen buttons
9) Better performance (TouchWiz on ICS takes up more RAM than stock launcher, etc)
10) No stupid carrier bloatware
11) No Samsung Kies
You've already made the decision, so I'm just adding this here in case you had second thoughts.

Galaxy Nexus AOKP m5 Franco kernel m3
Hey fellas,
I finally made the switch again over to android.
I have been contemplating this for quite some time now and I just had to do it with the Nexus at $350 & I can not wait for it to arrive later this week. + i missed the xda community
I was a former Captivate owner then jumped over to the iphone 4s for a test and now I had to come back. Cant wait to start flashing roms (a little rusty since im sure things have changed in flashing techniques since I left) so a lot of reading to catch up on :good:
Never been a fan of touchwiz or any carrier implemented interface over android so this will be a great change having a pure google device for once.
Also what would be the best cheap case I should get ?????????
Just wanted to introduce myself on the Nexus forum and hope to be pretty active here
UPDATE: I ordered it on Saturday Oct 6th around 3pm ....anybody order it recently ? How long did it take for it to arrive because I haven't gotten any update as of yet??
Plus today being Columbus day I think there it wont be shipped out till tomorrow?
Welcome! This is my favorite stop for smartphone info...
The gnex has been my favorite android phone. The screen size paired with SwiftKey made for an easy transition from my droid 2's qwerty keyboard.
Your gsm version will get better battery life than sprint / verizon. I would suggest bugless beast with trinity kernel, screebl beta, extended battery, cpu spy, and better battery stats.
Good luck.

I can say 100% that the battery life is better on the unlocked gsm model then sprint or verzion. I had the sprint gnex for four months. i got tried of thier data speeds so i cancelled my contract and since my brother was ditching his unlocked gnex for the iphone 5. i got his phone and went to att

I was thinking about holding off but I heard there were rumors it will be manufactured by LG? which I do not like as much. Also the $ was a influential factor, I can't justify spending $500+ on a phone so thought I would dive in now with the great reviewe's I've read.
Trying to sell my iphone for 300+ so it will basically be a trade off for me..
& thank you all for the comments. I have already ordered a case and screen protector from eBay so now i just sit and wait for it all to arrive :fingers-crossed: (the hardest part)
