Video Review: SGP Ultra Capsule Case!!

Hi guys,
Just wanted to share a quick review of the SGP Ultra Capsule I was sent for review, it is a great TPU style case that fits snug onto your device and will offer pretty decent protection.
Watch the full review for more info:

Nice video, the case looks really good but that glitter is pretty much a deal-breaker for me.

Have it in white also
and i can say this is the best SGP case
unless you want the black color, dont worry about these glitter ! they are almost invisible unless you stare at the case right under your nose

Yeah, trust Jeandujardin's word and mine, you won't see it unless you look at it closely under light. I do have some more cases coming in so perhaps we'll find one you like.
Thanks for your comment and support

thanks for another great video, please review the ultra silke if you can

Thanks for the review, it looks like a pretty good case! I've got my eye on the Zenus Monochrome...

Thanks for the review. was looking to get this.

I wouldn't buy it if I were you. I made the mistake and I'm paying for it till my neo hybrid arrives. It's not too tight when you get it, but after a month the device freely moved in it, and there's a lot of space between the battery cover and the case. The matte finish which I liked so much about it is wearing off at the corners too. Holes are well aligned though, but it's lifespan is 2 months tops.

I have this case too and I have to say I really like it. Unlike other people, I actually like the minimalistic glitter. It makes the material feel more premium than generic rubber plastic.

IMAK Raindrop case review *video* *pictures*

Great looking case, does little for actually protecting the phone though! Link

looks crazy as if there's actual water on it.
I'd get this case if it was in a solid color I'm looking for a really slim profile case like this one that's not too expensive.

The water droplets look very realistic and that's really cool. How's the grip? Does it feel slippery and erm.. plastic-like? lol
I'm thinking of getting the blue or the red one.

The grip is good, the bumps help a lot with it! It's not as grippy as a tpu case though. It's not slippy, but you can tell it's plastic!

Thanks! Acrylic I guess? It seems great for a $8 fun case.

Question; how long did it take to arrive? I'm waiting about a month and it still hasn't arrived...

I've had mixed experiences with obostore, sometimes it comes in a week or two, sometimes over a month, I'd just sit tight and if it hasn't come within two months send them an email asking what's up!

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.

Definitely worth the wait. It's very stylish, keeps the GNex looking the way it was intended yet protecting it.

All the links are for the 9250 GNex. Which one should I order for the LTE version?

I think because of the way these work, they should fit both versions. I can't say for certain since mine hasn't come in yet. Damn slow boat shipping.

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!

that looks really nice. congratulations on your tpu bumper

Good Stuff man I cant wait to get mine, Probably going to be a couple weeks though. So I'll update with pictures. I ended up getting the White and Orange. Try something a little different. I have 3 sgp cases and there all white and black. That kind of vibe.
Looks real nice though man.

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!

Do you have a matte screen protector looks nice.
Also good review. made me not pull the trigger actually (from buying the case) My cheap black TPU case has better cutouts.

You mean the Neo Hybrid case? It's not aluminum, it's plastic and the case is crazy slippery. Not recommended.

I have the neo hybrid and its not slippery at all. The whole back is extremely grippy and only the outside lip is smooth plastic. Its far less slippery than the nexus4 and my old GS2.

Yours must be an exception then, since you're the only one I've seen say that.
The back on mine was incredibly slippery.

mine is extremely slippery swell. so is the plastic bumper, I wrote a complaint letter to soigen in the hope that they don't use that texture again. I still use the case though. might just end uonwith a cheap eBay tpu case with grippy edges.

I tried plastidip once, sounded great in theory until you put it in your pocket and it pulls out every piece of lint that was in there.

I would love an aluminum bumper. Hope someone knows of one in the works

Hi,
I have to agree, it's extremely slippy, so bad for me that I have already ordered replacement.

[edit] Call me stupid... I just had my Slim Armour case off and indeed it is *not* an aluminum backplate. I put it on so quickly when I first received it, and it had been outside in my mailbox all day, so it felt cold and with the anodized-look I just assumed aluminum without thinking about it very hard.
I agree with others regarding the slippery-ness of it though... But I really like the look so i'm just being really careful not to drop it when I whip it out of my pocket.

How about this one?
Im thinking if ordering one..

It doesn't seem like it would offer much protection though.
