DBA hybrid case - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey guys,
So I got to test this new hybrid case that will be perfect for all the LTE and Sprint GN users!..it fits good also with the GSM extended but on the regular gsm the case tends to be a little tad too big
I really dig the mesh and how light it is!.
This is a very cool different design..check it out

There a link to a site where I can purchase this? It actually looks great. Is it real thin?

Amazon has them. I ordered one a few days ago.

You mentioned this works with the extended battery, does that include the verizon model and does it leave any abnormal bulge. The high gloss case from verizon fits really nice but the speaker cutout has a small gap. With OCD its very annoying.
Excellent product from a company with REAL customer service.

+1. Great case and great customer service. Even if there's a better case out there for my need, I'd still buy a Diztronic case, simply because I want to support companies with old-fashioned customer service.
Ordered one last nite. Can't wait to see how it fits with the extended battery

Fits fine, loved the case...
I have to say though, after using it for a week I took it off, and I had forgotten how slim and light the phone is.
Going caseless now...
I couldn't find the Black Matte v3 cases on Amazon during CES. I ended up ordering a transparent black which I'm unsure if I'll like. I really wanted the black matte as shown in the video and seeing it makes me want it more.
yeah, the guys were at ces, but contact them im sure they ll help you out
I like the case, but I want one in white. Anyone has an email for them, or will I have to open a ticket?
I would love white, but I bought my GF a white TPU case last year and the thing is dank now. I bought her a pink one when I ordered my Diztronic case.
I'll see about the smoke gray. It might not be too bad. I like my SGP Black case now because I don't even notice its on. The black blends in with the screen so well it just feels normal.

You're right. I bought a white TPU case from Diztronic for my Thundebolt last year, and in a couple months, the color went from (somewhat) white to a ugly combo of ugly yellow/pinkish white. Of course it was a glossy version, so perhaps a matte white combo would work better... maybe...
Right now I have a Hybrid S-line TPU that I got for a buck from eBay, and I just love how the white rim of the case contrasts so well against the black face of the phone. It doesn't fit with the extended battery cover though, which is a bummer.
just bought one on ebay !
Thank you !
cant wait, just not sure how it ships to israel and australia faster than canada?
Just search diztronic nexus, only this showed up, bought the back matte

Case-Mate "Mike" Droid Creature Case

Anyone see this yet? Sorry if it's a re-post.
Looks like their take on the Androidified case.
http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Ga...ung-Galaxy-Nexus-Mike-Droid-Creature-Case.asp
This looks...very interesting.
But one does not simply rename Andy as Mike
Sometimes it's in the details, you know, like grip inducing genital wart like protuberances.
Can we assume this is for the i515 version?
It's kinda ugly.

You know the Androidified cases were a big hit, personally I thought something a little more subtle would be nice. I think they went the other direction though.

ordered. i hope it fits GSM model.
bumpity bump, just hoping someone who ordered could post a few pics and/or review if they happen to receive theirs
Man, I guess if you ever wanted to see what Andy looks like with an STD, this is the case to get. Ill be staying away from this one. Esp for $25. I can get 3 cruzer lite cases for $20 and it wont have any STD's....

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.

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!

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!

Incipio feather

Im interested in the incipio feather after reading many reviews. I'm fairly set on it unless anyone has a better alternative. I have 2 tpu cases that I don't use anymore and would like to step up.
Also, I'm tossed on the color to get. I'm leaning towards the blue cause I like the look of the Lumia 900, but I don't know if its too much. I would consider another brand if it is recommend tho?
I just got the blue one last week on my Black E4GT. Love it.

What color is your E4GT? I have the black feather on my white E4GT and I think it looks really good...but the grey one would probably look good as well...
I have a black e4gt. I wish incipio made a white feather, but they dont. thats why im on the blue one now. All the other colors dont seem right for me.
I wish i had a white e4gt. i would definitely put the black incipio on it as well

I'd suggest getting the light grey feather then do minor sanding then paint/seal it.
Thanks for the suggestion. I really don't want to mess with it, kor do I have the time. Just seems odd they wouldn't make a white version.
Anyways, does anyone have a pic of the blue on on their phone?

true, my white sline got pretty dirty, but it depends on the material used. That was a very easily stained rubber. a feather case with an overcoat like they make for iphone would more than suffice for the average user
Sooo anyone got a picture of this thing?

Cruzerlite Case

i have one in orange. if you like TPU cases that don't cover up the buttons, then it's most certainly for you. the fit is excellent. feels good in hand and the device feels solid with it on. i'd take some pictures but i won't have a camera on me until a little later. the only reason i'm still in the market is because i'm now looking for something that does cover up the buttons. the power button being a little loose only bothers me because i mess with it.

The pics on Amazon of the Cruzerlite cases are actually pretty accurate. I bought 3 of the "Androidified" model last week in anticipation of my new S3 (there was a 3-for-$20 sale at Amazon, and I knew I wanted some variety for mix and match).
So far, I like the teal one I put on my blue S3, it fits well, looks sharp and is grippy enough for something made of urethane.
I'd buy em again, or at least get one, and then cruise the bargain bin for color variety.
I bought three cases from them...I particularly liked the one smoked version for the white. I also bought two with Andy on the back (Translucent Orange and Clear). I have not used those as much bcs I felt the android on the back of the cover made the phone a little slippery.
Overall, the are good solid TPU cases. I will certainly consider for my next purchase.
Thanks for the responses, I'm wondering if the clear one turns yellowish like it did on my friends one S
