Hey guys
I currently have a Diztronic case on my GSM GNex. Wondering if other is a thinner option. I get bummed every time take the case off and run naked for bit. Its so nice and natural feeling. I know the case I have isn't bulky but if anyone knows of a thinner one let me know. Preferably in the front where the case bulges and gets in the way of your thumbs.
Thanks!

Take a look at SGP Ultra Hybrid. It's the thinnest TPU case that I've used. Though the back is hard plastic.
Edit: sorry I forgot to mention that if you are using the CDMA GNex, the case won't fit.

Ya but there are 2, the thicker one that comes in 2 pieces(Neo Hybrid) works on CDMA Gnex but the thinner one in 1 piece (Ultra Hybrid) won't.
Forgot to mention it just now.
I had the Diztronic one too and switched to the Neo Hybrid. Both are great cases but I def do prefer the Neo Hybrid. Very sleek, fits my GSM version with the extended battery like a glove, and feels very well-made. It should offer decent protection as well but not as much as the Diztronic. It's not a TPU case though just to let you know. It consists of a silicone that has been coated to make it feel smooth and lint resistant. The plastic frame part then latches on to the back and makes the case rigid. The Ultra Hybrid is indeed a TPU case.

The sgp site says it is compatible with the CDMA but may not fit perfectly. Are you saying it will not fit at all..?

The case is a pretty tight fit on GSM. And by having a hard plastic back attached to the rest of the case, the only room for a thicker phone/battery is the TPU material around the phone. I won't say it will not fit at all, like you can't put it on or it will fall off, but you will get gaps around the phone even with the original battery and you can tell it doesn't fit well.
For a $22 case, it's not acceptable on CDMA IMO unless you absolutely love it and have to have it on your phone.
PS. I gave my CDMA phone to my mom and got a GSM one; will take some photos with Ultra Hybrid when I visit her over the weekend.

Did you ever get pictures of the ultra hybrid on the cdma? I'd love to see how it fits. I am a fan of the hybrid cases with the hard back tpu sides and this is the only one I have seen that I actually like but I am worried about the fit.

Anyone have any thoughts on which case is better?--the Case-Mate Barely There or the Incipio Feather Hard Shell.
I want something that won't increase the thickness of my phone too much but will still offer some protection. Thanks!
I have the incipio case and it's pretty nice. Adds a bit more girth, about 1mm in every direction, feels good in my meat paw. It definitely adds some good protection, which is what I'm more concerned about. It has that soft feel plastic and rubber that everyone loves. Biggest complaint is it's a lint magnet.
I have both ordered and they should arrive the first part of the week (according to Amazon). If no one else replies before then, I'll get lots of pics of them both and post my thoughts.
Pacifik: is that the double cover case? I saw that in the Verizon store and didn't like how it had both the silicone case and the hard shell. I'm looking at the one that's just the hard shell (found on their site--I can't post the link because I'm new).
LiquidHonesty: Thanks! I'll be interested to see which one you like more.
I love the look of both these cases. Does anybody have any suggestions for a belt clip holster that will fit either of these cases? I've always used the Seidio combos but the Surface case is thicker than these options.

It is the dual cover case, the hard plastic locks the silicon in place. Need extra protection from all the big machines I work with.

Haven't had a chance to try out the Case-Mate case, but the Feather case is good if you want the LEAST amount of protection, while still having a case on. It is a very nice case in terms of material, because it feels very soft almost like a hardened suede type feel. As with all snap ons though be careful that you don't get sand in the back or that could really scratch up the backside.
Feather case though doesn't protect the top and bottom corners of the phone as well though. I've dropped my nexus s a few times that had a feather case and the corners were always the ones it landed on.. Must've been my bad luck, but in any case, my corners are a bit dented up.

Well the case is 138.6 x 72.6 x 2.3 mm
The Galaxy nexus is 135.5 x 67.9 x 8.9 mm
So about 3-5 mm larger on the width and length, and the thickness would be about 2mm thicker.
isnt the case mate one loose on GSM phones?
Has anyone seen these cases in a store? Would love to see one in person. I thought I read somewhere here that bestbuy has the case mate but I didn't see it at mine.

for the LTE or GSM version?
I have the Incipio Feather Hard Shell case from Verizon. It was between this and the glossy body case they had. I asked the rep if i could try on different cases to i could get a feel for the one i want. This one was hands down the best looking and best fitting. Its a 2 piece case yea. It does attract lint. But its really an awesome case. I got a Zagg screen protector also, and with this and the case, it gives my phone a really premium look. The added thickness isn't really noticeable if ur just using the phone as u normally would IMO. I would honestly choose this over any case out there. Great for, nice stylish look and great protection.

Just to clarify, I'm pretty sure you have the silicrylic case not the feather.

do you have the gsm or lte model?
Any one have a recommendation of the thinnest case that protects all four sides of the phone? I have the GSM Nexus and the Incipio and Case Mate options do not provide cover on all four sides. I was wondering if any one has seen something similar but with 4 corner protection
I don't really like cases as I find the ones with a nice feel to "grab" too much when I pull the phone out of my pocket, but I do use a silicone "skin" occasionally when I want to keep the phone from jostling around in my cupholder or if I'm doing an activity where I don't want the phone to slide out of my pocket easily. They're dirt cheap too, only $2-$3 on ebay.
Rearth RingKe Slim

Definitely a toss-up between Rearth Ringke SLIM, SGP Neo-Hybrid, and SGP Ultra Capsule.
Here's an excellent video review of the SGP Neo-Hybrid. I'm really interested in seeing the same reviewer do the Rearth SLIM, and sent him a PM requesting it. I hope he obliges
The problem that I have with the rearth and the hybrid is that they don't come completely up the side of the phone. I wouldn't mind if they came flush. The capsule might be a winner I'll have to find more pictures.

The Rearth indeed doesn't come all the way up on the sides, however the Hybrid does. Check out the review I linked you, specifically 1 minute and 53 seconds in - you can see the rubber part comes up and slightly over the phone.
In either case it doesn't really matter, either way the top and bottom DO have extruding "lips" so when you place your phone flat on a surface, the screen won't be touching it.

I just got my GSM Nexus, and just installed an XO skin (non-case version) on the screen. do any of the above case suggestions interfere with screen protectors? I'm looking to getting a thin case just to increase the grip on the device.
I wish someone would make something like the diztronic but thinner. That way it would have grip and a little protection, but still feel close to stock and fit in docks and such. I saw something like this years ago on a nokia phone.
I have a diztronic case and it's not bad but too thick Imo. I ordered one of those "skin" stickers, but haven't received it yet.

Got the Momax case from eBay.
Fits really well with stock GSM. TPU sides provide added grip from the material and due to ergonomics.
The back plate...doesnt do much? Nice to have I guess. As mentioned above, its a once piece case. I feel as if the case will lose rigidity if I try to cut it out, so I havent tried it.
The screen protector I have not used but it doesnt seem that great. Its cloudy.
A good case overall. Lots of retailers are selling it now for about $10, search for it.

is the momax icase pro slippery?? would like to try this one out due to availability in indonesia and also there are holes for power and volume rocker.
i bought nillkin mobile skin case clear black, it's not slippery, but too bad the power button and volume rocker are hidden, and when i tried to push power button, i often find myself accidentally push the volume rocker on the other side.
It provides more grip than no case, but less grip than silicone which personally is good. I think its perfect.

thanks for the information. very tempted to buy one when my 3rd galaxy nexus replacement arrive some time next week.
just bought momax icase pro black for galaxy nexus today. lol, it looks cool. i hope there's a matter version for the outside tpu soft case would make this case perfect!
it catches finger print very easily on the glossy tpu material outside, but what the hell.
update: the glossy tpu really fingerprint proof indeed. not slippery and ease of use in and out jean pocket. like it like a lot!
Wow, i really like this case, great build! Cheaper than SGP, much better than Nillkin Mobile Skin Case Clear Black.
It has thicker lips too which protect more glass surface on front, sometimes it hinders my finger to navigate the cursor to the edge of the screen when typing. Some people appreciates the thin lips on SGP Ultra Hybrid though.
The stock screenguard is a clear one, fingerprint and oil magnet for sure!
update info on momax icase pro for galaxy nexus i9250 black, i can confirm that this case is compatible with samsung official extended battery 2000mah. fits perfectly in hand, adds build quality perception 'cause of the added minimal weight on it.

Hi everyone. I'm currently looking to buy a new case and I'm interested in one of the following:
- Trident Aegis
- Casemate Tough
- Incipio Silicrylic
I honestly don't know which one to buy. I use a GSM Nexus with the 2000mah battery. Can anyone give me some suggestions or opinions on these cases?
Anyone?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Never used the Aegis on my nexus just the kraken case but I like how the silicon is thicker then most others and the poly carbonate also seems stronger/more supportive. just go into a store and try them on your phone and see how you like them.
I'm using the Aegis now and love it. It was either this or the otterbox commuter. What sealed the deal for me was the included screen protector. The trident aegis includes a full size protector, where as the otter box gives you one that only covers a portion of the screen. Not sure why they did that, but they lost a sale with me. Not regretting the Aegis purchase one bit.

None of those. I recommend the Case-mate POP case. It fits very well with the extended battery cover and it's fairly easy to put on and take off. You can probably find the white ones at Sprint stores. It was the first case I bought and I haven't even bothered looking around for another...and I usually buy many cases.

I would not recommend the Silicrylic. The silicone layer of the case is WAY too flimsy. When I swipe from left to right and hit the side of the case, the silicone moves because its so flimsy. The case I got also didn't really fit correctly. The top layer was curved so it there was space between the two layers.

The Ballistic case looks pretty good too, I'd look into that. I personally use the Trident Kraken; though I understand many will not like it for it's thickness.

I know how you feel. Sometimes you just have to try another case.
But I have checked out a bunch of video reviews for other cases and I have seen that the ones that have 2 parts, like the ones you mention, usually don't fit the phone as well when it has the extended battery installed. I guess it's the nature of the design. That would probably apply to the Ballistic as well, same concept.
If I had to choose between the three, I would go with the Aegis as that's the only one I have seen that fits the extended battery well enough.
One thing I have found that helps is to look at cases that were designed for the Verizon/Sprint versions of the Galaxy Nexus as they are already thicker so should fit the GSM model w/ ext. battery better.
Ultimately, the decision is yours but that's just my 2 cents. Good luck.
A little ingenuity can go a long way. Check out the little mod I did to my sylcrilic case.

That's definitely an interesting mod, but I feel it only fits with the extended battery cover because all that silicone was cut out.
Question though, where can you get that carbon fiber adhesive? Is there anywhere "in-store" that it can be purchased? I would like to check out the "texture" before buying.
Probably. I ordered 6ft roll off Amazon for $30. And it is the legit 3m vinyl. Its super slippery. I tried it on my battery cover and it led to many close calls. But then I put the cut to fit zagg invisible shield over that and it is awesome.

I took some pictures of the case next to my Nexus 4 Diztronic case. My phone is being delivered today so I will add some pics later with the phone it it. This case is thin! I will have to see what I think about it not covering the top and bottom but sonce the corners will be ptotected it should be just fine.

I got ringke too looks great long wait to uk though.
I just went ultra-cheap ass way with thin case.
QuickSand Matte Hard Skin Cover Case
Then again, last 5 of my phone cases have been "sand" cases, for better grip.
Are there any ultra-thin cases that protects the top and bottom (I mostly just want a all around color case instead of missing top and bottom)? I don't need drop protection but only a shell so as thin as possible would be awesome.
Got it along w/ 2 other Spigen cases and like this one the most, slimply because it allows me to plug in a headphone plug and the top and bottom does not have a lip that will trap pocket lint.
Only downside(s) is that it's smooth surface doesn't give you that confident feeling you would have like you would w/ the rubberized surface. It's a tight fit and I worry if I take it off and on that it could damage the volume and power button.
Anybody have an idea of one like this but is rubberized? I don't want anything with funky graphics or designs, just simple plain
I'm also looking for something with a rubberized texture. I got the Ringke Slim case and it has such a feathery smooth finish that I'm constantly worrying about the phone slipping out of my pocket. It's even difficult to get a decent grip if my hands are the least bit dry (which is all the time in the winter). I'd love to find a nice soft TPU case that is slim and slightly rubbery. The SGP Ultra Capsule on my old GS2 was perfect! Anything like that for the N5?

I'm waiting for http://www.spigen.com/brands/google/nexus-5/nexus-5-case-ultra-thin-air.html
Do not buy the ringke slim case it damages the phone when you take the case off. Also it has sharp edges all over. I had to pull so hard that the back plate of the nexus 5 came off in the corner. Worthless case
