Oh... well if the Ringke slim cases aren't for CDMA Galaxy Nexus... guess I made my choice lol
- Galaxy Nexus

Yeah the Ringke slim case scratched the top of my GSM nexus as well. But in my opinion it looks better with the case on anyway.

I rather have my phone free from scratch even it wears a cheapo case, I ordered sgp Neo hybrid case, I think it look more sexy than ringke case and offer more protection as well. I saw many good thing about sgp, I'll find out soon. I disappointed on ringke case because it scratches the phone while put/remove it often.

I have the incipio feather case for my GSM Nexus and i love it. Fits well and the matte finish on it is great as well, adds some more grip to the phone.

Incipio FTW
I have been using the Incipio Feather case for a week now and love it. I got the gray one so it matches the GNex color perfectly.

Seidio CONVERT case review

Hey guys..so I just did this review on the new convert case
This is very comparable to otterbox, ballistic, etc.. same quality and kinda same thickness
What i liked about it is that when you dont want to use the bulky case..you can just rock the surface case (which comes as part of it) so you get 2 cases in one
Hope it helps you

anytime ..Glad i can help

Nice review!
Any chance we could get measurements with only the surface case on (H X W X L)? I like it but am curious to see how much thicker it is.

I have the Seiko convert case for my CDMA nexus with the 2100 mah battery. The surface case adds about 1 mm to the thickness all around. Fits very well. I pulled it off after about two weeks to make sure the case wasn't rubbing or causing any damage. All is good.
I like the idea of having the convert case when I need the extra protection for outdoor activities.

^^^^thank you !!!! And yes I def agree of the benefit of having 2 cases in one

Otterbox Defender Review

Finally I got it, I tested it and I reviewed it
A very solid case, I like the feel..there are a little things that I will change tho. Specially with ballistic, beyond cell, etc coming in with new products to compete
Enjoy!

The Commuter case is better IMHO.

I like the commuter case better too. And it fits in to the Siedo surface holster well.

how is the defender thicker than the commuter case?by how many mm? mind telling?
thanks

The defender case is not a good case. At least that has been my experience. Loved it on my Evo 3D as it kept it very safe and secure, on the Galaxy Nexus it has caused damage.

i am too interested in this. i was going to purchase this case as soon as i get my nexus in

Sorry to kind of hijack this thread but after using the defender for over six weeks, this is my conclusion.

I picked up a Defender because I didn't want to leave this phone totally unprotected. The case fits snugly and looks like it will give solid protection..however ( there's always a but I don't care for the screen protector, it makes text a bit blurry, the Defender also makes the phone rather bulky.
I'll use this case during the work week but will be looking for something slimmer & more elegant for weekends & special events.

i totally agree, I ended up removing the built in defender screen protector with goo gone and applied my own screen protector to the surface glass.
Much better now

I am using the otterbox commuter case with the seidio active holster... works great.

I just bought a defender, and am loving it, just a! Question. On the otter box site, some have said it fits with the Samsung extended battery. Can anyone confirm this? It does seem to have a little play with the OEM battery so I'm hoping it will.

It does fit with the extended.

That sucks that the member above had such a bad experience with this case. I have to think that somehow that particular case was defective. My Nexus doesn't move around one bit, even with the standard size battery. No movement at all. I also show no signs of wear whatsoever around the earpiece and ff camera. I've used this case almost exclusively since December 23rd.

I used the Defender series with my Galaxy Nexus with extended battery and it fits. Although, I too thought about removing the screen protector. It seems to take away from the screen vibrancy. I never liked or used screen protectors and dont like it on my case.

Get the white and gray spigen bumper case. Looks a lot better in person, I love mine.

i know only 2 examples of slim cases for our device:
- slim case by Samsung (Blue and White)
- 035 by Cellular Line (Blue, White, Green, Grey, Purple)
dou you know these?

Is the otterbox commuter slimmer than the defender as my defender is too bulky but I like the protection especially with a 2 year old around!!!!

Hi all,

Those are some very nice looking cases... I really like the dip where the Home button is. What's the button-feel like on them?

Perfect. Just right amount of pressure on both. I love the sides grip thingies. I can get a nice grip on first attempt of phone pick up. Same goes for when holding in hand, ot wont slide out of hand and dont need to rely on the pinky finger to stop it from sliding out lol

I have the incipio feather in black for my white S3. It's really thin and easy to grip. Wish they made it in white, though.

Are the Elago Slims any good? I have a Ringke case for my GNex and loved it. It had a small lip that kept the screen raised slightly if laying flat. The Elago seems to not have this?
Elago is the same price on Amazon and has more colors....

New cases recommended?

Just wondering I've been using otterbox cases forever now and want to try something new..... is there any cases besides otter box that has port covers ? But is thinner then the otterboxes ?

If you can live without the port covers you should definitely give the UAG case a look.

I love my otter box, but check out Trident. The Aegis and Kraken are on par with the Commuter and Defender. Otterbox stool wins IMO.
