My Carbon for LTE and GSM REVIEW - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

hey guys, well you know im always bringing you different reviews. This time i got my hands on the MY carbon by Beyond Cell.
When I first got it i was like..meh another EL CHEAPO case..however it actually is not bad at all! very impressed with the looks and performance. Very similar to Seidio, but with some nice features

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.

Casemate Tough Review

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.

Good leather case for Galaxy Note?

Hello guys,
i need a good and simple leather case for my Note.
So i found this one:
http://www.amazon.de/Bugatti-Skinny...6X10/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1328272915&sr=8-3
What do you think about it?
Can someone recommend a good case?
Sorry man but there are at least 3 other threads on Galaxy Note leather cases. Just look!
I recommend a Zenus folio.

That's rather tasty, might plump for one of them as well.
Please give us a review after a bit of use.

I saw this on ebay and i really like it. I know this isnt a real branded battery cover made by Spigen but it looks good.
Just wondering if anyone has this?
It looks like a frosted transparent finish which make me want it really bad.
Please post pics if you do

Did anyone get one of these in the end?
Any links in the UK? The seller doesn't post to the UK, cheers.

Perfect case for me!

I bought a case from eBay and want to make everybody aware of it. I'm always buying cases and this is my favourite by far!
Has a very nice feel to it, perfect fit, very strong material and looks great.
It came from Hong Kong so took about 2 weeks to come to me in Northern Ireland bit it was well worth the wait.

Is that the soft jacket xpose case? Capdase makes decent cases, I've owned their cases for my iPod and iPhone and look great too is it hard enough to scratch the corners while taking off and putting back on?
Looks really similar to the cruzerlite cases.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I'm sure this case looks and feels great, but I seriously would not want to drop my phone while using that.
I don't worry about dropping it, never dropped a phone before.
I have it on and off on a daily basis and no scratches at all or else I wouldn't use it.

Here's my exact link. Took a few weeks to come though

Looks ugly imo. Sorry case manufacturers, I don't want to see your name from your $10 case on my $450 phone.
the last picture is very bad photoshopped! :laugh:

Anyone tried the Seidio Convert case?

Planning on getting a nexus 5 in a few weeks and wanted to know if anyone had tried this case, and what you thought of it. Couldn't find a YouTube review even, but It looks nice.

I've been using it for a few days now and I'm still not sure if I'll keep it. It is a great case just a wee bit more bulky than anticipated. But I suppose I should have expected it to be since I recently jumped from an iPhone to a real phone.

Actually I have this case and love it very much , I add on the extra protection when going out and love that it also protects my camera lense .

How easy can you get the cover off the camera? I saw somewhere it was kind of difficult?

Quite easily its made of a rubber like material but offers good protection I believe.
