Most attractive cases

Hi everyone,
What are some of the most aesthetically pleasing/best looking cases you've come across? I'm personally a really big fan of the Zenus cases:

I just like the black rubber gel that t-mobile sells. all black and sexy. and i've dropped it many many times. perfectly fine.

this is my phone case i think its pretty nice
EDIT: it looks alot better in real life lol

Bought this one for my girlfriend - http://www.speckproducts.com/smart-...cases/fitted-samsung-vibrant-case-purple.html
I think it looks pretty nice.

Case-mate's barely there cases are amazing!

Ultra thin and truly protect it.

i used to have the case mate tough case but then i switched to the melkco. the casemate would always get stuck in my pocket n the rubber part would pick up alot of lint. the melkco is just very nice looking it fits really snug only bad part is the cover part gets kind of annoying when playing games or on a phone call, but you get used to it.

[REVIEW][PICS]Qubits TPU Case

This case is pretty nice, I have the Diztronics Matte Case and this far superior.
EDIT: It appears I messed up with adding images, so I provided direct links to a Picasa album under the corresponding text.
First off, I'd like to point out its design.
https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694664838498885570
This case uses a combination of three forms of TPU.
The back uses two, and the side has the third. From the photo, the majority of the back is matte with a gloss design on the side of the back.
Now for the TPU on the actual sides on the phone:
https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694666212754847586
It's a nice textured form of TPU that provides a great amount of grip without making the phone impossible to slide in and out of a pocket or gather dust like silicon. It may just be that I'm fourteen, but I always found the Galaxy Nexus a bit slippery, or maybe it's because of this the darn phone gets, which looks great but isn't entirely practical.
The case itself doesn't add much to the size of the phone, but it provides decent, and very eye catching protection.
https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694664844600398466
The back of the case is also raised near the camera to prevent scratches that phones like the EVO were plagued with.
https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694666188166111906
The volume buttons get a dedicated cover, as expected, but makes them feel mushy, but they're really small to begin with.
The cutouts on the phone are pretty big and shouldn't have any issues, and there is also a double-holed thing at the bottom for lanyards.
https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694666177130719426
This is overall a great case, for its price its pretty hard to beat as well. You can find it here on Amazon.

Link to the buying site would be of great help bro

That looks like the cover I had on my Incredible. I liked it, especially when I cut it to fit my extended battery... hehe! Though I dont know if the material is the same.

I've had this since launch, it costed me ~£4 from ebay which I was really pleased with.
So far it has treated me well, feels good, looks pretty good and protects my phone.
I should receive the Diztronic Matte Case sometime next week, I was hoping for that to be an improvement on this! (OP doesn't think so! )

I like that. I am using the stock one from Verizon. I am still waiting for a good case, but this one is pretty nice. I want a clip too I think. However, I break clips by bumping into things

The button protectors were too stiff for my liking. It is very grippy though.

2 dollars from Ebay.

This is the only Galaxy nexus case I currently have, and boy does it get the job done for $2 from Amazon.
Almost got the cruzerlite but the price was right on Qubits.
Anyone know if I were to purchase an extended battery if it would fit with this case? Any extended batteries you'd recommend (for GSM) that won't break the bank (or my phone)

I ordered a clear one from amazon for $1.75. My old smoke TPU case was turning a bit yellow so I ordered this to replace it for a while. I'll post pics if anyone is interested.

Yeah I wouldn't mind seeing that thanks

Trident Aegis- Best Case Available

Honestly, this is the best case for the E4GT:
http://www.tridenteer.com/categories/Samsung-Epic-4G-Touch/
Available for $20 on amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Touch...PACW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327710501&sr=8-1
Its a 2 piece silicone/hard plastic. Perfect snug fit. In fact I messed up my nails trying to take it off to change my screen protector. Not tacky to the touch; slides into pocket no problem. Comes with a clear screen protector. Has covers for the usb and headphone ports.
The side buttons are even easier to press since they stick out even more, and the silicone is extra hard in the buttons so you don't have to press hard at all. Now, if you're looking to keep that slim and lightweight look, this case is not for you. But if you're looking for straight up functionality coupled with unrivaled protection, you NEED this case.

Colors are nice but I think I still prefer my Case Mate Tough

I'm currently on the S-line TPU Hybrid Case. Worth the upgrade?
I'm also looking at the CM Tough & Seido Active Case

Just got my red aegis today and I can say it is one bad ass case! Best I've used for any phone I've owned in a long time.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

Ever since i bought this case ... I constantly wonder if girls love me ... or my phone. I don't know who to believe anymore.

I think I'm gonna go for black because all the colors look faded out on the site. Is it just the site or are the colors darker? Pics for people who got different colors such as RED please

It's absolutely worth the upgrade. I came from the Diztronic TPU case, which was really nice,... good fitment, slim & light. I've had the Aegis on my E4GT for about a week now and it's super. I'm almost glad Otterbox ain't doing anything for this phone. They really screwed da pooch on their Evo 3D case, and I ended up replacing it with an Aegis. So putting one on this phone needed little thought.

I have had this case on for about two weeks. So far so good. Has saved from falls already and keeps the fine dust junk out of the that crack between the screen and the plastic on the phone. I love the side hard buttons, and there is a fine mesh covering the mic and back speaker holes. I got the Ballistic green color. It looks like the website image, just a weee bit darker. weeeee bit. Did nto use the screen protector that came with it, so no comments on that.

Wow,... didn't notice the mesh over the speaker and mic. Added bonus!

My Aegis was here in my box when I came home from a weekend of snowboarding. I feel a lot better with this puppy wrapping up my fon. Looks and feels pretty sweet!

Looks too much like a "case". A fatal cheesifying flaw of almost every case... along with making your uber-thin phone as thick as a deck of cards.
And I'm always dubious about hard plastic. It'll transfer shock to whatever it's against... could be the phone. That'll make the case survive a drop, not the phone. If it's got soft rubber inside the hard plastic, that kind of makes the hard plastic just unneeded bulk... and look like, well, your phone is in a "case".
I am a big fan of my $8 TPU case. That TPU material is the right compromise between hard and soft, and it fits so well it doesn't even look like a case. Looks elegant even, in matte black. I wish they made a white one, would look like a white version of the phone. For the price of this case at the super-discount Amazon price, you'd have two TPU cases plus a few bucks in your pocket.

[Review][Official]Cruzerlite Androidified TPU Case

This is a review of www.cruzerlite.com and the Cruzerlite Gnex-A2-Blue case. It is a Androidified TPU case for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The cost of this case is a measly 9.90 plus shipping/handling.
I ordered the case on Sunday September 30th from their website www.cruzerelite.com and received it through the USPS on Thursday October 4th. They had very fast shipping for a weekend order which we all know is often not the situation with many on-line vendors.
I found this case at www.cruzerlite.com/cases/samsung/ga...androidified-a2-tpu-case-for-galaxy-nexus-600
They have 11 total colors available for this case including the blue model in this review.
The material used for this cases construction is 100% TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) plastic.
There are 10 well placed cutouts for the various buttons, usb port, headphone jack, speaker/mic and a spot to hook a lanyard. I do not use a lanyard personally but like the added feature for a phone built without.
The case fits nice and snug to the phone with a regular battery and door. The extended battery and door fits as well but requires a little working of the case to fit the side right but it DOES work well with it. I personally with any case use my extended battery without the door and it fits great that way. The case makes a very nice small ridge/buffer zone which protects the screen from all those small grains of dust that will spider the screen when it lands face down.
The functionality of the case is nice as well. Some people like raised buttons such as on silicon cases. I do not. I find they cause my pocket to wake the phone. The cutouts keep that from happening by keeping the buttons recessed a little bit. The case slides easily in and out of my front jeans pocket and never hangs up on entry or removal. Something I could never say about any previous silicon cases. The case is very easy to put on and remove.
It has a very nice and clean design to it. The little android logo on the back of the case is a nice touch to break up what would be a very boring look. I find no flaws with the case in design and manufacturing of it.
Designing in a lanyard spot in for a phone without is a very nice thing to see. Even if I personally do not use it I know they are thinking how can we make a case even better. Going the extra mile with a feature like that is not seen often anymore. Most case manufacturers I have seen have simply said “Oh this phone doesn't take a lanyard....moving on” Cruzerlite said “That's a bad design lets give it one” Well done.
Final thoughts...Cruzerlite has gone the extra mile in making and offering a economy price for a solid design with added features not found elsewhere. 9.90 plus shipping. Can you go wrong for a case that is made well, fits right, will protect from all sorts of incidents and looks this good. You can't go wrong picking up Cruzerlite Androidified TPU Case for your Galaxy Nexus.

Is any dangers of using the phone without a backdoor?

I have the black one. I wasn't sure if I'd like the android on the back but it is well done. Case cutouts and overall feel is great.

If there's any question as to why I put it as an official review it is because I was specifically given and requested to honestly review this case by the company

just bought'em on amazon.co.uk with the buy2get1 free promo...
Also bought a cheap 3£ TPU wave case for comparison... I'll let you know when they arrive...

I bought one a few months ago when they first came out but I'm not so impressed.
It does look great, I love the design, and I have no complaints about the fit. But there are a number of rough edges that spoil it.
The cut-out for the charger is fine because it has a gentle angle but the hole for the headset is at 90 degrees and feels very uncomfortable when holding the phone in portrait with your little finger right where the hole is.
When holding the phone in landscape for gaming there is another rough edge from bad moulding right where that textured side grip is. Again, it is very uncomfortable when rubbing on our finger. Strangely enough the grip on the opposite side feels perfect.
There is also another join line that runs around the phone which sticks out on the bottom corners but feels fine on the top.
I e-mailed the company with these complaints but never got a reply.
I won't be buying any more cases from them.

I think it's part bad design and part bad luck that I got a bit of a dud.
I have another, cheaper plain case on my Lynx 3D but the quality is far higher than the Cruzerlite. It's as smooth as butter all around and feels really nice to hold. I wish the Cruzerlite was the same because I like the detailing and colour.
But it's the lack of any response to my mail which has put me off buying another case from them.

I will agree to disagree on the design part but not that you probably got a dud. I work in customer service and I can assure you that bad items just slip out sometimes. But lack of response I won't really comment on that because I don't know the situation on what exactly you sent to them

I bought the same case about two months ago and I am perfectly happy with it.
It does its job and at that price point there really isn't much to do wrong.

I had the clear cruzerlite androidfied case and really liked the look. But since the case covers the side and onto the tip of the screen, it was pushing up against my screen protector that I had on. So I returned it and got a verizon kickstand case that doesn't do that.

Generic eBay TPU case review

This is a quick review of a generic TPU case from eBay. There seems to be several variants, including this one, the 's-line' one, and then one that has a round cut out where the LG logo is.
Overall, it's a very good fit and I'm very happy with it -- (going to actually start using this instead of the Rearth Slim)
Like:
- Pretty good fit
- Doesn't interfere with SPIGEN Stenheil screen protector -- in fact, the lip of the case lies on top of the screen protector
- I can see the Nexus logo on the back (I bought the frosted white) -- goes well with my white N5.
- Grippy - I didn't like my Rearth case because it still felt a bit slippery
- Cheap - £3 w/ shipping included... can't beat that
Dislike:
- The camera cutout on the back isn't aligned 100%
- No cutout for buttons - this one depends on your preference -- button presses are no longer satisfying but at least it keeps the dirt out.
- Included screen protector (at least with the ebay auction I purchased) is garbage with weird cutout for the camera / proximity sensor.
- My past experience with generic tpu cases have been that the case itself scratches easily, but given the price, this is a non-issue for me.
Recommended!
PS. I have no relation with the ebay listing, but this one is sold by user 'talklinesales' in the UK. Ordered Sunday night, shipped Monday, and received today in London.

Case looks pretty nice. I like the face it's so slim, but not having button cutouts would annoy me.

Looks pretty nice. Thanks for the review!

screen protector brand pls?
thanks for posting.. Case looks good enuff for the price!
Is the included screen protector the 'fonem8' brand? Same business sells them in pack of 5 here
update: comes in clear plastic sheet, no branding on anything.. so not sure if its same product as fonem8

I ordered a generic case as well, but the shipping is taking forever though. At least I'll be happy knowing that it will actually fit quite well.

I'd either go generic s-line or the diztronic. This one works well for the price its selling for.

just an update in case anyone reading this..
finally got my this case in smoke black, fits very snugly. Also received 2x free screen protectors with it - they are very slim, hardly noticeable over the glass so im pretty happy with it all even tho there are better screen protectors out there.
only problem was Royal mail, very slow... took 2 over weeks to get to Aus.

Got mine too! It was a little under $3 comes with a screen protector and some kind of weird mini stylus.
Now my Nexus looks like a Nexus 5c :silly:
It's not a bad case, I might use this more than my Cruzerlite.

It looks nicer than the more expensive cases to me. Thanks for the pics.

I bought a neo hybrid case and then bought the s line case for £2.50. I have now returned the neo hybrid. S line case is much more comfortable to hold,and grippier but probably doesn't offer as much protection from drops. .
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

I got a s-line case too and really like it. It fits the phone well and doesn't add a lot of bulk. At first I was worried that it wouldn't fit properly since it's not one of the higher priced ones but overall, it's pretty good. Someone I know got the Spigen clear back case because of the Nexus white back showing through but turns out that the Spigen clear back case can get easily scratched up.
