White TPU Cases?

Anyone know a place where I can order white TPU cases for my GSM Nexus? I looked on Amazon and eBay, I did like one of them (link below) but the shipping takes forever, any suggestions are welcome.
A few things to note, I hate having a "lip" around the front of my device, unless its a really small one.

I purchased that case and should be receiving it this week. Will let you know then

It says for i515 or i9250... they're different phones, so which one is it for?

Since it's for the Korea market, it's safe to assume that it'll fit the GSM version for sure.

That's what I assumed. Also I'm using a GSM nexus and also have the 2000mah extended battery also, so I can test that fit also

Fits both, its a TPU case, it flexes a bit.
Guys, I'm looking for alternatives to this that can arrive at my doorstep earlier.
Not looking for hard or silicon cases. Definitely not silicon.

I appreciate it, searches on my side are coming up dry as well. I remember seeing somethibg on Amazon but it was out of stock.

My white tpu case came in and it looks great! Its "super white"
Nicely packaged, came with a screen protector I'll never use but its nice.
It fits the original 1750 battery & back cover and 2000 battery & case perfectly. No idea about the Verizon phone as I have GSM, sorry guys.
The cutouts are perfect and the power + volume rocker are easily accessible.
Pics in next post.
Link to buy it here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/White-TPU-G...ung-Galaxy-Nexus-SCH-I515-I9250-/250956249198
I recommend it if you like white tpu.

Yes, its a good case

can you tell me if your case has a lip on the front? As in lay on table design? I dont like the added thickness from a bulging lip. A slight one is fine.
edit: also is it really glossy?

Yes, it has a lip so face down on table it will be safe. Also the camera is protected if put on back.
It is glossy but because it is white, you can't really tell the fingerprints are there, if they are there.

IMO ebay is the place to go for TPU's. There's a huge selection there for really good prices. I grabbed a couple paid about 5$

Yes, just make sure you really read the description and order as soon as possible as when they are coming from Korea and or China, it can take a while.
For tpu, you can't go wrong going eBay.

I ordered this mercury lime green case from ebay for USD 9.99, haven't received it yet, but should arrive may be monday or tuesday, whiles i'm waiting for that, i just picked up 6 tpu case from shenzhen today, just the same as the one i ordered from ebay, the store says it's real, but i wont comment on it, all i can say is the mercury brand is korean, but they are still made in china, and these that i got from china are identical, and of high quality, i've checked everyone of them.
Here are some photo of the actual item, i've taken photo of the yellow cases as it shows up better, all photo is with the GSM model, with extended battery and cover.
All covers are glittered
All for USD 2.60 each
I won't comment on the quality, these photo speaks for themselves.

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

White case that won't get dirty

Can anyone suggest a white case that won't get discolored? White phones don't get dirty/discolored from normal use so there must be a case that won't either. Here's my white mercury case and you can see its gotten discolored in a week. I've tried cleaning with lots of different things but nothing works. So any case suggestions would be appreciated. Or should I just give up and get a black one.

Problem is , most companies make cheap cases, and that means cheap coloring whether its in the mold or the finish. I suggest looking for a white molded case made out of PVC, if that's possible. Cheap finishes especialy white will always fade or discolor.
Go with black !
Maybe someone else has had better luck, hope you find what you need.

I have the white cruzer lite.
nice case but I regret buying white. I played golf last week and use golfshot. Big mistake. The andy android fellow got all dirty and discolored. I was able to wash it off with bleach spray. However now I am noticing that the corners are getting blue lines on them, from what I think is from my jeans. Not sure, but it wont come off.

While its not entirely white, I do use the SGP Neo Hybrid, white and it hasnt gotten dirty. I cut out the back, as someone on XDA did as well, and I love it. See pics from Rootzwiki i posted:

I also ordered the Rigke Slim for the LTE Galaxy Nexus in white. It should ship today, and Ill post back how it handles dirt. I work in Construction and my phones are always exposed to getting their share of dirt/mud/mortar etc.

idont think its the dies so much as the materials. A lot of plastics yellow.. especialy when exposed to uv. and especially when white.
I know where your coming from. I have a white case as well. i think white looks good with the nexus. (wish i knew about the white nex coming to vz before i bought mine 16 days ago)
check wikipedia on plastics as far as i know only abs does not yellow. I think pvc is pretty good as well. so what ever case you buy look up the material its made with and check if it discolors...
good luck and when you do find one.. post your results here!

Samsung To Release "Nature-Inspired" Colored SGSIII's

New Nature-Inspired Colored Samsung Galaxy SIII's
I saw this article over a week ago on their Facebook page and I completely forgot about it. Just found it again and checked XDA and saw no post about it.
Had you guys seen this?
I'm in love with that Garnet Red. Hell, even the Brown looks nice.
I wish there was a way to pull the casing off our phone and install a new one and I wish Samsung would sell the casing as well.

Well, I could buy that Garnet I wanted...

I kind of wish I would have bought white simply because the aluminum cases and such mingle much better with the white.
I found replacement front panels in garnet for under $30. I'm sure I could find a back case too....but I have no idea about the body itself.

Isn't the whole front of the phone a single piece? Or is that just the screen and digitizer?

Screen and digitalizer. Then of course you have the back battery cover.
So, I'd have a front garnet screen and a garnet back cover with blue side housing (I don't think you can replace the housing...and if you can, it wouldn't be easy) with blue volume/power/menu buttons (those wouldn't be hard to replace though).
If I had bought white, the side housing is aluminum silver color, which the garnet one is as well. It'd be an easy transformation.

Slickwraps Nexus 5 Full Body Decals

Slickwraps sent me one of these units for review purposes and I actually liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Pretty solid unit. Might order one of them in black.
Here is a review I made if you guys are interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuEXoDQcs7o
Are these decals popular for phones? I remember some companies released them for the iPhone 3G/3GS a few years ago but I never personally researched into them until a while ago.

Just looking at the dbrand and xgear threads here in XDA, I'd say they are pretty popular. I've never heard of the brand before, but after looking at their website, these appear to be pretty comparable to the dbrand skins and xgear skins. To give credit where its due, Slickwraps does have a much larger selection of colors than either of the other 2 skin brands. They even have a glow in the dark one, which is really cool and some glittery ones for the ladies (or guys, if that's your thing ). Great find, OP. :good:
Edit: It also appears that they're made in the US if that matters to anyone.

Comrade, I noticed on some of the pictures from their website, the nexus cutout on the back seems a little...off. On the nexus logo, the letters are all supposed to be lines of the same thickness, but some of the images appear to be thicker on the "S" or perhaps thinner on the "nexu". Are you noticing this with your review skin? I couldn't really tell from the video.

In my experience the Nexus cut out was spot on. Perhaps they fixed the issue before they sent me my unit.
I'm not even exaggerating when I say how impressed I am by the accuracy of the cutouts. They were extremely accurate, down to the less than 1mm diameter microphone at the top.

Also found out you can be randomly selected to win one of these devices (Galaxy S4, Nexus 5, etc) if you purchase one of these decals from the Slickwraps website today (Black Friday deal). They posted a video about it on their Youtube page. Looks like a interesting deal.
Actually never mind, the deal is for tomorrow (since Black Friday is tomorrow).

I thought so, because the carbon fiber color is somewhat different than the one from dbrand or stickerboy.
But, actually I prefer their color. Their red carbon fiber and dark brown leather are very nice.
Is their quality comparable to the 3M Di-Noc one? Anyone can share their experience? Do they leave residue when remove?

I have had a few for my Pebble and I have replaced a couple due to deep scratches that the skin protected my Pebble from. When I removed them there was no residue to speak of at all.
