The images below are with the GSM version of the Galaxy Nexus with stock battery. Both are made specifically for the phone so you have a perfect custom fit.
The UltraSlim is the more slimmer and less bulky option. It takes a week or so of usage to fully break in the leather so that it isn't so tight fitting that the inside seams press the volume and power buttons.
The Crumena is a bit bigger but a bit more easy to use with the pull tab. The seams are on the outside and the leather is a bit thicker. It is meant to be used with the top of the phone inserted first. If you do bottom first the phone will stick out at the top a bit.
I like to carry my phone in either back pocket or my coat pocket, and being a minimalist, I hate bulky cases. Using one of these pouches provides protection against scratches, but you still get to use the phone in all it's natural glory... Otterbox *shudder*...
My preference is that when I'm more casual or on the weekends I like the Sena UltraSlim because I can slip it into my back jeans pocket or coat pocket. The Crumena is a tad too big for the back pocket. I can see myself using the Crumena more during weekday at work.
Anyways, those are my quick thoughts... Here are some pics.

One Crumena and one Ultraslim... Both are really nice. I have the same experience from the cases as you do!
Great thread!
Does it fit even if I have the SGP neo hybrid ? If yes I am getting one
i've got the sena ultraslim (2nd version, the first one is a bit tight), my gnex fits perfectly, no problems with vol/pwr buttons. Really good case.
There is a 2nd version? Or do you mean the Corsa?

The versions are the same, they have the same SKU number. The different links is just a sorting mechanism for the site, if you want to lookup cases for Samsung phones or lookup cases for Google phones.
actually they're the same, but there was a different quality of the first one, my friend and me have 2 different quality of pouch. He got his sena when the second one is still in pre-order

There are actually two versions.
The first version had seams on both sides. But this caused the seams to press down on the power-button and volume-buttons. The first version was also very tight.
I got a new case from Sena when I complained. They acknowledged the problem and sent me the second version when they had it in stock. The second version only has a seam on one side and fits much better. Now I am totally satisfied with the Ultraslim case, and VERY impressed of Sena's customer service!
Thanks alot for this thread. Because of this i went and ordered a ultraslim today!! Thanks
Thanks! Good to hear that the Ultraslim will eventually break in. Mine just arrived and it squeezes the volume buttons all the time (thanks god the unlock button is okay). I'm waiting for it to break in so i can use the volume rockers to wake device
Ordered Crumena 9 days ago. Still waiting for my lovely to arrive. Can't wait! xD

Enjoy I've had mine for about two weeks now and it's literally perfect!
I finally got my pouch today. It's extremely good looking, and feels tight, but not the bad kind of tight. The really good kind. *cough* yeah. Anyway.
I would recommend this to anyone that is looking for a nice quality pouch for your phone. I couldn't tell you to get this over any other pouch because this is the second pouch I have bought in my entire life for a mobile phone. I really wasn't a pouch or case kind of guy, but this one is so good looking, and of such great quality that I actually will be using it to protect my gadget of choice.
Today I've received my SGP leather pouch. This is my first pouch and it feel great.
it's a perfect fit for gsm with extended battery. The leather feel nice. So far I'm loving it

I had the Sena pouch - and was not happy at how often the volume would get changed/or the phone would be woken up because of the internal seams.
Got a Cruzer Lite Androidified case and the SGP Crumena in today. Anyone have success stretching their Crumena enough to fit the phone while so cased?
This is the GSM version.

I dont see that happening. The Crumena is pretty tight on even a naked GN.

Just leaving my feedback on the Sena Ultraslim pouch. While the pouch is really slim and the texture is the best i've ever felt on any case, it is really tight even after using for a month and it always hits the buttons when slipping in the phone head first. Overall, it's still great if you can get used to slipping it in butt first all the time (which will be a problem if you are using headphones)
If only they would release a more textured version of the Crumena.... (i really don't like the smooth shiny type )
Yea mine is snug as well when I put it in head first. Overall I'm happy with my purchase.

I just received the new revision of the Case-mate Pop! and I wanted to write a quick review for those that were interested.
http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-Cases/Case-Mate-Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-Pop-Case.asp
It seems that you should order these directly from Case-mate. Looking at the model numbers, amazon seems to have the older models still listed. You are looking for these:
Black/Grey: CM017295
Pink/Grey :CM017309
White/Grey: Not Currently available
First off the case feels extremely high quality. The idea of the case is to have the protection of the dual layer cases but co-molded together into a one piece case. It is a bit thicker than say tpu cases, but to me it feels perfect in my hand. The soft rubber has a nice feel, it is not too soft, and does not attract much lint. The plastic is a hard shiny plastic that adds to the rigidity and increases the protection of the phone. There is a nice lip on the screen side which provides lay flat protection.
This case fits REALLY well, the lip in particular hugs this case tightly all around. It is tough to actually remove the case. You have to use your nail, to really work the lip up and over at one corner first. That may be a negative for those who remove their cases often for what ever reason, but really makes for a premium feeling product.
The revision addresses the cutouts for the ports. They have really opened up the cutout for the usb port. You are NOT going to have any more problems plugging in a charger thats for sure (in my opinion a little too much.) They also added the hole for the speaker phone/camera mic which aligns perfectly.
I am using a Verizion LTE model and the extended battery fits very well in this case as well. The only thing is perhaps a slight difference in power button responsiveness, very slight. Personally I use a standard battery cover with the dremel mod for my extended battery.
Speaking of the buttons, they are covered, but case mate has done an incredible job with them. They slightly protrude out making them easy to find, and feel extremely nice to push. As far as covered buttons go, I imagine that this is as good as it gets. They feel very similar to using the phone naked.
I would highly recommend this case. I feel that it provides a really nice combination of protection and cosmetics. I also really wanted to mention the customer service that I received when I called about my case replacement. They were extremely helpful and very courteous. They shipped the case out the following day with tracking info via USPS. They really made me a loyal Case-mate customer for the future. As always feel free to ask any questions.

How do these cases handle dust? Also how well do they hug the device? I see a lot of cases that are tight at the top and bottom. but the sides are weak near the front.

This case does very well with dust/lint. The rubber is not too soft so it doesn't cling to debris.
You reminded me of something that I forgot to mention in the review. This case fits REALLY well, the lip in particular hugs this case tightly all around. It is tough to actually remove the case.

What about the revised versions of the Case-Mate Tough Case for the Galaxy Nexus? Last I was told was late January but I have not seen anything on this.
Nice to see a Case-Mate representative here on the forums
I was told that it will arrive within two weeks last week
they offered to send me a pop case last week or i can wait till next week to get the tough case, so I'm just waiting for that

I would love to get a white version of this case. Will you guys produce a white version?
I ordered mine from eBay last Saturday think off getting to used the old version till they send me the revised one. And to my surprise they send me the new version. IMHO it's a lot like the Speck Candyshell but it's more difficult to put on, I hope it's easier to take off if I need to. If you want here's the item number on eBay (180820339462) for the listing.

Pop it from the back of the camera is what I've been told. Unsure if its the same method for the GN.
Finally figured out how to take this case off. Start at one of the bottom corners and then start pulling out the phone all round. You should watch out for the volume/power button.
One thing to note is that the White version is available, and I find the power button to be much more responsive than most TPU cases, or the Otterbox Commuter, which is about the same thickness.
Funny thing is, I found the White/Grey version with a CM017311 SKU, just like jrodsep.

CaseMate,
What should I do if the case I received from Case123USA on Amazon don't have (and doesn't even know about) the revision 2 case?
Anyone know where I can get a black version of the revised case? I don't see the black color on the Case-Mate site and I'm only seeing the older version on Amazon.
Thanks!
Sprint carries the whits/gray. That's the one I have
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Thanks but the white/gray is also on Amazon. Can't find the black one.
Hi,
Could someone please tell me if, with time, there's dust or whatever between the phone and the case? Are there any scratches because of that? I work outdoors and I'm afraid this could happen. Anyone that works much in outdoors has any experience on this?
thanks
IMO you are going to have that issue with any case. The chances of a scratch are higher the harder the material is. You'll have the highest chance of a scratch with a hard case and the least chance with a silicone. I'd put this case in the middle like a TPU case. The parts that touch the case are softer than the hard exterior.
I've been trying a bunch of different cases for my GSM Galaxy Nexus, but most of the cases seem designed for the larger CDMA Galaxy Nexus. My phone doesn't fit well in these, there's often a large gap where pocket lint and dust and whatnot tends to accumulate. The cases don't really seem to fit very securely, either.
Does anyone else here have a GSM GNex and know what cases work best for the phone? I'm looking at lowest-possible-profile cases without a lip. I just want something to make the phone easier to hold onto--it's like a bar of soap at the worst of times.
I'm using case-mate tough series for Verizon (I have a GSM GN). the volume button fits perfectly, except for the power button, But I figured out a way to work around that. Which requires absolutely no modification to the case. Besides, I'm not bothered much to the lints issue
Yeah I bought an Incipio Feather, which I loved on my old Nexus S... but the GN one is clearly designed for the fatter VZW Nexus... and doesn't fit on very securely. It's too easy to fall off.
I called the case-mate customer service, they said their Barely There case fits perfectly with GSM model. Or you can try the Otterbox case (Commuter!??) I've read a lot of reviews about 'em

Thanks for your help. I've come to discover that the Rearth Ringke Slim case also fits the GSM Nexus very securely, so I'll order some cases and see which ones I like best.
Seriously? I'm pretty sure the vast majority of cases are made for the GSM version. Afaik the only case made for the cdma version is the new renke one.

I was specifically looking for a case with no lip. I know there are many silicone and TPU cases that fit the i9250 perfectly, but I didn't want something with a lip because it fouls up by ability to use the edge of the touchscreen.
Of the cases with no lip, the only one that fits the GSM Nexus perfectly is the Qubits case I just bought off Amazon (and at only $7 it was a steal). The case is almost functionally identical to an Incipio Feather, but it's not branded and the soft-touch material is a bit softer than the Feather.
Other lipless cases were clearly too large for my phone at the top near the camera pod, obviously intended to be used with the CDMA/LTE Nexus. I tried several before I found the Qubits case.
I'm using this "Golla" case. Don't know if you can get them online though..
Sgp ultra hybrid best case in my opinion. I got the yellow and purple and I only paid £16 with free postage
.Beamed from a Galaxy near you.
Casemate tough
Sent from my i9250 [GSM) Galaxy Nexus
ive tried the commuter, incipio silicrylic, and diztronic but i settled on the tpu bumper case from ebay. its feels like its part of the phone, only adds about 1mm with the rubber lip. you never have to take the case off too since you can open the battery door with it on. you dont need any proctection on the back anyways if the phone is dropped.
i currently have the incipio ngp, the case fits great, however, the buttons are covered and it makes them difficult to press. i find myself adjusting the volume when i'm trying to hit the power button. it's also a pocket lint magnet. i have cut the buttons out, and it makes it worlds better, but, i ordered cruzer-lites anyways.
I got mine from dealextreme dot com (not allowed to post links yet)
It fits prefectly for Nexux I9250 and the price is great
I recommend one of these case i have one and i love it!!

I'm looking at lowest-possible-profile cases without a lip.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Before getting the OEM extended battery I was using the Qubits snap-on case and I LOVED it. Minimal bulk added and the matte finish made it a lot easier to hold on to.
Here's a link, although it does appears to be out of stock on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-RUBBE...9UWU/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1324590852&sr=8-4
I like to keep the profile very slim and sleek on my phones as well.
I've used Incipio feather on an older phone and ran naked on my last phone.
The feather for the gnex looks kind of ugly since the cutouts are so big.
The ringke looks nicer, but apparently has issues scratching the top/wearing away the top of the phone if you remove the case often.
I also ended up going with the sgp ultra hybrid even tho it has a lip. Its supposed to be very minimal. An issue I'm reading though is the case makes for a sensitive power button that is triggered too easily ie. when moving around in your pocket. There was a mixup in my order and I received the neo hybrid instead, so I put it on for fun and the lip on this is also very thin. It covers the phone shell lip around the screen exactly. The ultra hybrid is supposed to be even thinner. More on this when my correct order arrives. Quality of the SGP stuff is on par with Incipio.
Cygnett Frost for GSM Nexus
I am in Singapore and picked up the Cygnett Frost for 30 USD. Everything here has the Singapore premium attached so I probably paid more than I should have but this case fits the GSM version like a glove. It's rubberized, fits perfect and very lightweight. Exactly what I wanted.
I also tried the Incipio Feather at the store and there was just a little bit of a gap between the case and phone back. The Incipio is definitely made for the CDMA Nexus.
Does any of these comes with a cutout for volume control and power buttons?

Yes, most cases do. The Cygnett Frost I talked about in my above post has cutouts for all I/O. They aren't overly large either.
I wanted to post a review for you guys. This is the best case I've ever used on the T989 or for any phone for that matter. Fits extremely well and has excellent fit and finish (I'm extremely picky) and most importantly the buttons on the side (lock button and volume rockers) are very clicky and have a great feel--unlike a lot of silicone cases where the buttons feel like mush and unresponsive. EXCELLENT BUY. The phone now feels solid and grippy all without getting stuck in your pocket. The back is smooth. Very good balance. Without it, the phone feels flimsy and slippy.

How does it compare to the bulk of something like the Trident Aegis? I'm using the Trident Aegis right now and I'm looking for something with a slimmer profile.

Broken.
Received mine today. Fast shipping but the top part of the metal mesh was broken. Called them up and another one is on the way. We will see how this one goes.
How is it compared to the Incipio Silicrylic case?
Yes it's available in white as well. Sorry about that! But I love this case so much! When I used the one piece case, the silicone case got loose over time. Since this one has a hard plastic piece which encases the phone. I dont see that happening here. I'll gladly pay the $8 every 3 months if it came to that though.. great feeling case
3 pounds?!
For anyone that may have both how does the protection compare to the aegis. I have the Aegis and like it but it is definitely bulky
fectsul wrap
I ordered both the Trident and Ballistic. I prefered the Ballistic because of the beefier corners. Better protection if dropped. About the same size as the Trident. No experience witht the case of OP. But, I think you usually get what you pay for.
Thx for sharing this.
Just bought one myself recently, it's a case that I actually like.
however, the only gripe I have is that the silicone half doesn't fit as tight around the phone as I would like. but other than that I love it.
Bump!
Thanks Synenergy52, I went ahead and bought one. I want to especially thank you for the nice detailed (nice resolution and angled) pictures; it's very helpful when you can see an actual image--not some 'stock' photograph on the buyer's page.
Anyway, I actually purchased it from here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Samsung...ccessories&hash=item416695ab2f#ht_2241wt_1396 In case the sale is done, I paid $6.49 USD.
Interestingly, that seller has several color variants. Too bad I'm not very original, although I was tempted with their neon green and black case, hence why I went for the black one (also because that's the one I could see an actual image of, thanks to your review).
I was sold more on this thread, than I was when I looked at the product on the purchase page.
Very content with this case.
Thanks.
Had mine a couple months, like it alot. Bought a slimmer s/hard gel type skin which I like more becuse of slimline but it added the echo to my conversations, even with the card trick. So am back to this one.

Exactly my opinion as well. I feel like the silicone material needs to be a tad bit harder so it doesn't flex so much. Which I would gladly pay much more for.

I didn't see another thread with this specific topic. Who out there is using a case for their GS3, and what cases are you using? I'm on the fence, am not usually a case user, and I'm not sure which one to buy. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Also, any pictures and/or links would be appreciated!
i got a case from rockphones. Its really more of a stylish low profile bumper than an encasement
I've been hearing good things about Diztronic cases so I ordered one to try out.
Are the TPU cases supposed to be good shock absorbers?
I picked up a Body Glove today from a local AT&T store. Way overpriced, at $30. But, it is a snug fit, and the whole thing slips into a leather belt-holster nicely.
That being said, I just put on a Zagg HD and am thinking of ordering one of those carbon-fiber stick-ons.
I've got a Rock case on order, just waiting for it to ship. It comes from China so it takes a while to ship but those who have had it said it is very slim and works great with the phone. Definitely not the case to look for if you are looking for protection but I am just looking for something that wont scratch the bottom and protect the camera and screen a little.

I just ordered one as well - thanks for the tip!
Now I would like to find a charging dock that would work while leaving this cover on during charging (if any exists?!). Taking the cover on & off just to dock is not going to happen.....
Thanks again bro!

I agree. If you find one please let me know.
This is the case I bought, hopefully it's good. There's not enough reviews about cases yet, so I'm nervous when making decisions on which accessories to get for the S3.
Elsse Case
Otterbox Commuter here. This thing is so slick and slippery I am going to need to put some duct tape or something on it for grip! The store only had plain ole black so maybe I'll just get a Defender online since I know they're grippier.
i ordered the incipio silicrylic case after reading alot of good reviews. just waiting for it to come in.
Incipio case on Amazon
I bought the Diztronic case. It's decent and it comes with a screen protector which was easy to put on.

it is a great case, just a little thick for me. i'm still on the hunt for a decent hybrid that doesn't add too much bulk. looking to try out the pop case by case mate and go from there. i might end up with a high end TPU, either from incipio or speck. the price difference between those two is very large though (almost 20 bucks ).
I was not using a case and you can tell from the pics I've attached I'm regretting it... I do have insurance, so getting a replacement. In addition, I'm going to try the Case Mate Pop.
As I'm sure someone will ask, the screen shattered by landing perfectly flat (screen first) on tile from a ~3 foot fall. The phone without a case is so thin & slick...
I got 3 - went Red, White and Blue!
Couldn't decide which to get, so got 3 !!
I had a Trident Aegis before for my prior phone, the LG g2x (longest year of my life, loved and HATED that phone, it reset ALL the time, even after SW update!) and it does make it bulkier but is GOOD protection, so I got several levels of protection, looks sleekness, after reading everyone else's input, recommendations etc
Got them all on Amazon (along with more goodies!)

So, I was looking for a new skin on my phone when I realized that I didn't want to do a wrap. If you're like me, you'll spend $10 and then remove the skin in like a week. After that you'll have to buy another one if you want to go through the process again. I'm not 100% into cases because of bulk and this is a damn sexy phone.
I scoured a few different places looking for a white thin case when I came across this: ELAGO THIN CASE
Here are my pros:
Fit is perfect
Cut outs are exact
This actually feels like it could be part of the phone
Has a Matte White look
Not TPU, its a hard plastic
Lots of compliments just in one day
Cons (Keep in mind, these are things people may not like but doesn't bother me)
Phone is still a little slippery
Buttons are now a bit more flush with the case
Zero lip over the glass to put upside down
The cut outs are exact so accessories are about 1mm from being perfect
I'm going back for the other two colors. This is an awesome case. Does anyone else have any ultra thin cases they can recommend.

Is there a promo code for that one? Kinda high in price.
got this today, it's going back. I have a skin on my phone, the case went on with ease on top of that and was still not snug
I got the Anccer in gravel black:

Preserves "caseless" feel, super grippy.
Do not spend 10 USD for just re-branded case.
Buy the exact same one just for 4USD.

Good call.
Edit: Just went to the link. I just don't like AliExpress. I had problems with them in the past. 20-39 days for a case when I can get it in 2 days from Amazon, meh... I'll pay the difference.

Really? That's a bummer. Mine fits perfect and has no movement. I don't have any sort of skin. I wonder if that's throwing off the fit.

It looks just as good in person.
Needs a top and bottom lip. Put your phone face down and it will scratch.

Nope. User a screen protector.. Cases with lips exist. This is for absolute minimalists.
Just went to the mailbox to get the Elago case I ordered after seeing this thread. I'm coming from the Spigen Slim case and, even by comparison, the Elago is ridiculously thin! I love it, but it definitely needs to be paired with a screen protector in order to keep the phone somewhat safe.
It is probably not nearly as thin as that case, but I usually buy Ringke Fusion cases for every phone I get. I love the way it adds the extra tactile feel to the buttons, and has saved me from many drops even on asphalt and hard concrete. I'm not sure how it is on the S8+ yet as my S8+ is not here yet. but I've used Ringke Fusion cases on OP3T, Nexus 6P, Nexus 6, Xperia Z3, and I have loved it on every phone.

Not even close.
Just a heads up. The Elago scratches and scuffs pretty easily. Not that I expected much from such an inexpensive case but, I've been babying my black Elago and, within 24 hours it already has 4 or 5 long scuff marks across the back. Not a big deal, just thought I'd mention. It would've been nice if they had used the same type of rubberized finish found on the Spigen and Ringke slim cases.

Who sets their phone with the screen down?
