Gelaskin review/install - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey guys,
Got my hands on a custom galaxy nexus gelaskin for my device and im showing it to you on this review/install video.
I aint gonna lie it looks pretty sweet.. only down side is the fact that the little top part of the gelaskin( a little strip) kinda overlaps a little bit..I like the fact that im rocking it with my SGP case right now and its double protected from the back.
I usually dont rock the front part because i like the black front but def looks very cool
Enjoy

Great review.
The one thing that I like about Gelaskins the most is the fact that the skins are removable so no need to worry if you screw up (like screen protectors) and that they have some texture to the skins so you can have some grip on it.

Interesting
would it interfere with a case like the commuter

Should it make any difference if it was the GSM or LTE varient?

I tested it on the gsm and the phones are pretty much the same size..So as a personal experience no..there is no difference..specially cause gelaskins are selling just one type that fits both

One thing to add to rault's response is that, if I am right with this at least, the only difference between the GSM and LTE versions (when it comes to sizes) is that I believe the LTE model is thicker. In which case it shouldnt cause an issue because the skin just goes on the back of the phone (the door and the beveled edge just around the battery door)

Thanks for the replies guys! Im really tempted on getting one of these. I have a Phantom Skinz cover for my HP touchpad and I really dig the quality. I would like to get another but those dont cover the front panels (Which I really dig). Im just a little concerned about quality when comparing the gelaskins to the phantom skinz and the vast price difference (Almost half as much). I know 15 bucks isnt much but im trying to tighten my wallet a little

When you say quality, do you mean the print quality of the skin if making a custom skin? If thats the case then you don't need to because when making a custom skin and you upload your own image a popup comes on screen telling you how good the image would look with a "good" for mediocre images and a "great" with high quality images.

Its more about the material itself. Ive been rocking the Phantom Skinz on my HP Touchpad for about 8 months now and its still going strong. With that said, im not slipping the tablet in and out of my pants and constantly using it like I would my Gnex. Im afraid how well it will stick over time and weather the colors will fade or discolor.

My custom Gelaskin should be arriving any day now. I'm wondering if the textured backing of the GN will show through or should I get a smooth battery cover?

You wont really see the texture of it (unless you angle it JUST right for the light to hit it) but you will definitely feel the texture of it through the skin.

White black duo-shield soft skin hard case

This is for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus, not the GSM Variant.
I ordered this case from the suggestion of another person on twitter and it came in the mail today. I was especially intrigued by it because he said it fit the extended battery rather well!
It turns out that it does and seems to be one of the first I have found (besides the Otterbox Series) that fits the phone with the extended battery included.
It is made of high quality materials, and isnt a lint collector in my pocket which is a big one for me. Below are a link to the pictures of the phone w/ the extended battery and the case itself.

I have this case in white/purple and loved it, but was concerned about the back getting "scratched" since the plastic part doesn't have any felt or cushioning. What are your thoughts on this? Is there any reason to be concerned in your opinion?

The plastic seems to be fairly strong, for example, it seems the coating is of high quality which makes it not easily scratch able.
For the most part I am not worried about the case being scratched and I really like it.
I was worried about the back of the phone getting scratched by the plastic part that touches it. You have noticed no scratches on your phone from this case?

I misunderstood you from before, and no I do not think that the plastic will scratch the phone in any way
Thank you for your review and your opinion! That makes me feel a bit better about using that case as it is my favorite so far. I am still looking at the Kraken (when they make one), Rearth Rinke and SGP. I also have one of those cases that look like the ballistic ones. I like it though it does make it a bit bulkier.
Just ordered the White/Green one to go with my Beats . I'm a sucker for anything Lime Green, I have been going naked on the phone, hopefully I'll like this case. Biggest thing I was worried about what being a lint magnet, good thing it isnt

You will love it. Since my issue of scratches to my phone have been eliminated, it will be my case of choice until a couple of the others come out.
Do you guys no how this compares size wise to the Otterbox's?

Is it as bulky at the OtterBox Defender? Im looking to replace my defender with something slimmer
How much weight does it add?? I love how light this phone is and I'm looking for a case that doesn't add much weight
Sent from my GalaxyNexus using XDA App
anything similar for the gsm?
I also ordered this case Black/Red. I have a GSM version. The difference between the LTE/GSM is .53mm so Im thinking it'll be fine. I read a negative review about this case that discouraged me but after reading this thread im feeling a lil better. Pics look great on the SGN. Also Carbon Fiber Ghost Armor will be between my boo boo (lol) and the case so I'm not worried about the plastic scratching my phone. It also comes with a Naked Shield screen protector wich I've read is a wet application. Any thoughts on the included screen protector? Is it any good? Doubt id peel my Ghost Armor screen protector off for any other but im still interested if it's good.

It adds near 0 weight to the phone, at least it seems as if it does not which is the important part
I just got this, LOVE IT! although it does add some bulk it barely added much weight and it fits well with the extended battery with one exception, I had to remove my skin that was installed on the phone... I was a little shocked it wouldn't fit with that skin but I guess I don't need it...

Cruzer Lite Androidified A2 Case review

So I just got my 3 new Cruzer lite cases and thought I would write a lil review on it and share with everyone. I have 2 of the previous Cruzer lite cases (Black & Clear) and loved them. So when I saw Cruzer had new cases coming, I just had to get them. I got the Green, Clear, and Black. This case is WAY better than the previous version. First off, it does not add any major bulk to the phone. It does add some, but very little. It has to add some or it wouldnt be able to protect the phone now would it? I compared it to a TPU case in the Verizon store and was thinner than that. Sorry, dont have make or model. I just ran in for a quick look at. The volume keys are cut out. It didnt bother me in the other case but just looks and feels much better now. The sides have a nice grip on them. Makes it nice when pulling out of my pockets. And last, the back. WOW o WOW. Love Andy the Android on the back. I am using the clear 1 at the moment. The case doesnt attract fingerprints bad at all. My wife hates Android as she had bad luck but when I showed her my new cases when I got home, she even said, thats pretty cool. As I have said before, I HATED cases before finding Cruzer Lite for my Nexus. I highly recommend you purchase 1, 2 or all of the colors Cruzer Lite offers.
For all colors available, go here: BEST CASES EVER
For those of you with headphones with big jacks, use this adapter so it will fit with the case on. Only $1.30 shipped!!

Ya this fits the GSM model too. Joel did an amazing job with this case.
Thanks for the write up. I plan on ordering a couple of these soon. I wish there was an all matte one though. The glossy ones seem to attract fingerprints more and are more slippery. I planned on ordering the black one too.
I'm gonna give these a shot either way though. I love that Andy is on the back.

Yeah I don't find its a fingerprint magnet at all. It also fits the LTE extended battery quite nicely. Sharp looking and adds a nice grip to the phone.

If I had to guess I'd say they were molded from the LTE version. There is extra room when you fit this case on the GSM version.
If you were on the fence of getting this case, check out this...Front page of Droid-Life...you know it has to be good.
http://www.droid-life.com/2012/01/2...ant-to-consider-plus-a-buy-2-get-1-free-deal/
Yep.. I jumped the gun and bought this too immediately when i saw this case reviewed on droid-life.
I just ordered three, black, smoke, and blue. Im already having color remorse though, wishing i would've gone clear instead of black.

Sweet that makes me happy, considering i was trying to change it on amazon haha.
Purchased the Smoke, Black, Clear models. I love how these cases (Diztronic, Cruzer) which normally I would stay away from actually perform much better than some cases from the "retail name brand" ones. Gotta love that.

I have the original Androidified(lots of small Androids) Cruzer Lite case with the volume/power rockers not cut out is this style the same thickness? I wouldn't mind it a bit thicker, also it the lip around the front of the phone higher?

It is actually thinner. The feel on this case is WAY better than his last one. And I LOVED his last case.

[REVIEW][VIDEO] Speck PixelSkin HD

Hey everyone,
Just got the PixelSkin HD case in the mail today & did a short video review.
Check it out and feel free to post any comments you may have!
Thank you for the review.
So, after 24 hours with this case, I really like it.
It's definitely more firm than the Diztronic, and the material isn't as soft as other cases, so there is virtually NO lint attraction which is nice. It's thinner than I thought upon first opening, and it fits VERY snug to the phone - great fit.
If you want an understated case with a little bit of flash & very high quality - don't hesitate to pick this up.
What about the volume and power buttons? Are they broken in yet?
It looks better than I thought; still a tad expensive.
Thanks for the review
Not a fan of covers that don't have cutouts for the power and volume buttons. Case looks nice though.
Yeah, button covers are still pretty stiff, though it only took me a day to get used to them. Another thing I forgot to point out is that there is no opening for the 3 pin connector. Personally, that's a plus for me as I think it looks better.

Has anyone tried this case with the GSM version (with or without the extended battery)?
^^^I have the same question, im waiting but I really like the case.

Ditto for the GSM question.
I have a Cruiser A2 Black, currently on my Galaxy Nexus gsm, and I absolutely despise it. The Pixel Skin HD is my favorite iPhone case and I was crestfallen when the website states that it was only for the Verizon version. Someone have both?

TPU Bumper

Anyone bought the following TPU Bumper for the Galaxy Nexus?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-BUMPER-...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item905d2ca610
How is the fit for the GSM version of the GNex?
Will the TPU bumper lift the camera lens away from the surface like how I suppose the front lip (which I hope is minimal) can lift the screen away from the surface when the phone is placed downwards?
How is the gloss like? Any other similar products with matte?
Are the buttons cut-out?
Does it add a lot, width wise?
Is the tpu rubbery? in the sense that it is sometimes hard to pocket?
Wow... lots of questions lol.
Crap, I just found a thread that has the same link. Thread title: "Best Case for Extended Battery $5 (Picture)"
Sorry if I accidentally double posted, my mind filtered out any threads where extended batteries are referred to since I have the standard batt.
Looks good, I am also looking for one.
but not shipping to sg
I ordered one of these. Should be here one day next month. I hate waiting, but that's what it is when shipping from overseas.

Mine was delivered on Friday. Very nice... fits perfectly and doesn't add much extra to the phone. It easily slips into your pocket fine even with the rubber which is only very slight. The buttons are covered with the rubber giving it a nice feel while protecting them. I got the black one and the phone feels very good in the hand with it on. Looks very stylish and still retains the GNex look while protecting it.
Hope this info helps. Only issue was it took 3 weeks to get to me..... only got the postal service to blame for that though LOL
I ordered 2 last weekend. My GNEX had been the first phone that I've gone naked with for this long and I'm loving it, but get freaked out of the thought of dropping it with no protection. Hopefully this is a good compromise.

I ordered my case from the op's link for my verizon nexus.
Case came in yesterday and overall its a damn good fit and feel for just $4.
Bought a white one but will probably order a black one as well.
I'll post up pics in a bit.
Got the case from the OP yesterday..*FINALLY*!!
I'm using the CDMA version with the extended battery and the fit is fantastic.
I hate having a case on this phone because it just looks and feels so great in hand naked.
This case feels great AND it's minimal enough that it maintains that sexy nexxy look and feel. Seriously, it looks great in person. Couldn't be happier!

Ordered the b&w, will review it when I get it. Thanks a lot for the tip!
I finally received my TPU bumper last week. It's definitely for the GSM version, though I don't mind it on my VZW phone. I like it a lot. But yesterday, the black TPU portion separated away from the white plastic section at the USB port area so I can't use it anymore. Could just be a fluke in my case though. I contacted the original seller to see what they can do.
I doesn't notice it in HK!

SGP Ultra Hybrid Case Review [Eclipse White]

I've seen a couple threads where people ask whether the Ultra or Neo Hybrids are better for the Nexus.
Well I just got the Ultra Hybrid one and I must say that I love it!!!
I explained it all in this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHjQdA1ueaY
But I just can't say enough how great it feels in the hand and how high quality it really is for a case. I usually never want to spend more than 10 bucks on a case, but if you guys are looking for a high quality case and don't mind spending about 25 bucks with shipping and all that, then I highly recommend this one!
Hope this has helped!
Thanks for making me spend £14!!!
EDIT: Could you also post the pack of screen protectors you use here? Also interested in trying some "good cheap" ones!
yeah i got my soul black one last week, i really like it to, apart from the power button especially it does tend to press with the slightest touch.

Yeah I love them! And they ship out to you so fast. Took like a day and a half for me. I stopped paying so much money for expensive ones when these work better and feel realistic. Here's my buddy's video on how to apply these types with no bubbles. Mine looks like there's nothing on the screen when I followed these exact instructions. Just use a credit card instead of fingers like he did.

It kinda does, it just won't be a perfect fit. On the side of the phone, it'll be slightly higher than the brim of the case. That's all.
How sensitive are the buttons? Can you press them accidentally just by casually holding the case?
Does the case edge totally cover the bezel edge? Reason I ask is I'm getting a white nexus, and I want to know if I'll see a little white peeking through or not.
Thanks for pointing out the screen protectors. Picked up a set!

No not really, you'd have to squeeze a little. It's easier to press the buttons with this case, but you still have to put a little effort to do so. I got used to it though after a day or two so it doesn't bug me as much as it did on the first day.

Yeah it totally covers it. The white might be able to peak out a little maybe, but that's about it. And no problem! Let me know how you like the screen protectors, I love them so far!
I just checked out the site. Very nice case to bad its only for the GSM model although I think it would fit the CDMA Gnex.

It would, the bottom and top of the phone would be under the lip of the case, but the sides wouldn't. It would be a little bit higher. But the screen wouldn't hit the surface if you were to lay it flat since the Nexus is curved.

Have you tried it on a cdma Nexus? It doesn't seem like it would work, since it isn't flexible?

No, but I've seen it on with the GSM 2000maH extended battery and it fits, but the sides are above the rim a little bit. So I'm just assuming it would sorta fit the CDMA one. But I would really only get this for the GSM if you want a perfect fit.

Hey mack, this case should be here in the next week or two as it's coming from abroad.
Just wanted to ask how tight the lip/rim is against the screen? I currently use the Diztronic TPU (Rev2) case and the lip is very tight which causes my XO skin to peel in the bottom corner slightly.

The thing about this one is that it doesn't "hug" the rim of the phone. It's raised above it so that if you lay the phone flat it protects it. This is good because like you said, it won't peel or bother your screen protector or whatever you may have on it. So it'll be perfect for you! Let me know how you like it once you get it.

Thanks for the reply, looking forward to receive it sometime soon. (14-20 days) from eBay seller Shimshop.

Is the Galaxy S2 HD LTE even a phone in the US? It's not right, just international?
I have an extra SGP Ultra Hybrid case for that phone, don't need it and wanna give it away. But does anyone even have that phone...?
