LTE ringke slim REVIEW - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

well finally I got it and I tested it..and the results are this:
LOVE IT
feels just like the old ringke but fits the lte version with the extended battery
I put them side to side for comparison so you guys can check it and make your own mind. This case is a must for the people that like slim cases.
Enjoy!

Good job! Buen Trabajo very very good review!
Via G-Nexus [LTE]

Thanks for the review! That metallic color is beautiful! I'm definitely considering the case now that they released an LTE version. The fit and cutouts look fantastic.

How does this fit on a GSM model with the extended battery. I ordered one of these and hopefully it fits well with mine.

Just successfully finished doing the touchstone mod on the LTE Rinke Slim case for my GSM Gnex with the extended battery and cover.
I wouldn't have done it without this info.

No problem. I couldnt get around to post pictures of how it looked like because my galaxy nexus is my main camera at the moment. Could you provide some pictures of how you'd done it? Im interested in this and might being doing so myself.

Just got mine about 10mins ago and it is awesome! I really love the feel of it. Thanks for the review.

Only thing that I dislike about the case is that it seems really difficult to take the case off. I got it off but it's definitely not a case for someone that likes to take their case on and off very frequently.
Nice grip, very slim, would recommend it and oh yeah... fast shipping with some other goodies in the package as well.
The back gets dirty very fast but easy to wipe/clean.

**pics included** Black Cruzer Case on Amazon fits GSM perfect

I got the black glossy Cruzer case from Amazon and it fits snug and tight...better than my Incipio case I purchased from the Verizon store. The case is nice and durable. The power button and 3 prongs are open and the volume keys are closed with a nice rough texture. The volume keys are very easy to use since they are sealed. I recommend this case to GSM Galaxy Nexus owners and the price is not bad at all.
I gave it a 5 star review on Amazon.
Here is a link...
Check out the other designs Cruzer has... Android print case looks pretty cool too.

How is the fit and finish, for lack of a better term, of the case? How tightly does it fit around the face and how are the areas around the mold seam?
I'm currently using this Qubits case and while it is quite good, it is not perfect.

The fit and finish is great. It is not loose around the face or around the seams. Im telling you, this fits nice and tight all around the phone.

I have this case and while it fits perfectly it takes away from the look of the phone. Also makes it bulky and just not the same. I have a smoked one if someone wants it. Will sell it for $5.

Looks quite cool.
I also found a really nice pouch, a company called SENA, I used their cases for my iPhone, from 2G right up to 4S and it's been the best iPhone case I have ever found. They are amazing quality and have never marked a phone. £17 UK

that samsung mesh case looks like silicon so that means stretching. and since it's mesh, it means it will stretch faster. money wasted if it is silicon.
Will they ship to the US? It looks nice and might just pick one up

Confirming that the 2000mah Extended Battery is Legit [GSM]

Just received it in the mail today. Definitely OEM and adds a very minimal amount of bulk. The only thing it doesn't do is curve in around the bottom of the phone, making it look more uniform. My Amzer case also fits this perfectly and i'm sure all other do as well. Here's the link if interested.

I also ordered from Shimshop. What date did you place your order? Just wondering how long delivery took!
Regards.
4 1/2 hours vs. 4 hours worth it?
This battery is a marginal increase in capacity and probably makes the phone incompatible with OEM accessories.
Is it worth it?

If you're using the extended battery with the GSM version you can just use cases meant for the LTE version since they are both marginally thicker than the GSM version with the normal battery.

Now that we know that it can fit in our GSM Nexus, the question is how significant is the improvement.
In your normal use, how long does the normal battery and the extended battery lasts?

It is a pretty snug fit with the verizon extended battery?
Thank you for a great find, I have been wanting a bumper case. Can we get a picture of the side with the volume buttons? Does it need to be modified at all for the volume buttons? I only ask because the case I have now is for the GSM version and I had to trim the inside with an emery board because it would turn down the volume by itself. But for five bucks it's not that big a deal.

You wont have anything to worry about in terms of the buttons aligning properly on your Galaxy Nexus.
So is the whole thing Tpu or is the outside hard plastic?

How is the case overall? Is it even giving any protection? It seems like it's not getting to the front at all. Does it add any bulk?
Looks like a nice case. And all for less than $5! In for the white one.
If you'd like to see it shown in a video, I believe this guy shows it at around 1:50 with I believe an extended battery. It's hard to tell since he doesn't talk and only gives thumbs up throughout the video. lol

my guess is that this case will fit for any battery since it leaves the battery cover exposed. The 3800mah battery will just stick out and not be covered. I don't know just my guess since I do not have the case. I think i will still buy one since it looks like it will fit anything.
Also the link says its for the i9250 but the op has it for the sch-i515? So I am assuming this is compatible for both cdma and gsm variants?
Great looking case,
Hopefully they ship to canada
Can the battery door be removed with the case on?

I hope you don't mind me posting pictures of the black one.
I have to say, I really like this case. I prefer this over my SGP Neo Hybrid case which I cut the back out of.
You can tell that this is a cheap $5 "chinese made" case because there are rough areas where you can see the injection points.
Also, right above the rear speaker, the cutout is too low exposing some of the housing of the phone itself and not just the battery door. It is very minimal and doesn't annoy me at all.
I can confirm that you CAN remove the battery door while having the bumper on for the GSM GNEX. I tested it with both the extended battery door and the original door. I guess there was a big enough difference in the Verizon one make this impossible.
CANADA
I LOVE that case! I'm looking for a case for my 3800 extended battery. I need it to ship to Canada...
Let me know guys.
At least what I could search on Ebay for it?
Thanks

Case for GSM with extended battery.

Hi guys.
Does anybody know a good case, that would fit the gsm version with extended OEM battery?
I have now the SGP Ultra hybrid, but it`s not a perfect fit. The sides are not in the right place. Maybe there`s a case that will fit perfectly.
Share your experience please.
Thanks :highfive:
