Hey guys, I know I'm probably late on this as everyone has had this phone for a while now and probably has a case. But I have an SGP Ultra Hybrid case I'd like to give away. I know it says Galaxy Nexus on the sticker but after going through the T-Mobile S2 and AT&T Skyrocket forums, I've finally determined that this is for your guys' phone lol. Anyways, I haven't opened it as I intended to give it away as I have a GSM Nexus and have no need for it.
SGP makes good quality cases; even the box it comes with is surprisingly high quality . If you guys aren't familiar with it I'll do a review on it once my other one comes in. The black part is TPU quality while the white back plate is like a matte hard light-weight shell. It feels premium. After tax and shipping and all that it came out to about $27.
Just wondering if anyone would be interested in it. If enough people want it I'll figure a way to give it out. Thanks.

Oh wow seriously? Then I wonder what this one's for....
The black part is TPU so I'd assume it'd be easy to cut a little square for the external speaker. Sorry guys, I was happy because I thought that I finally figured out it was for the Epic Touch 4G.
The power button is to the right so it's definitely for an S2 variant. The size and form factor, plus the little hump at the bottom, has to be for the ET4G.
If you guys still want it I'll still give it away. Usually SGP cases are perfect, dunno how they mess that up.
Id love to have it. I love SGP. And I do need a case! College student here! I could use it!

Works really well and fits snugly too. Best part about it is the cheap price and keeps the phone slim. A must have for white GS2 owners.

Sorry bro didn't mean to offend you in any way. Was not insulting you or your taste. It was my personal opinion of the case. The back of the case looks very unpleasant and uncomfortable in pocket. I do really appreciate the fact you purchased a product, took pictures of it, and gave your opinion of it for the community. It really does help with accessories selction. I'm going to do the same when I buy a case for mine.

Whoa. That's a hard case to swallow. Although I do have a case on my GS2, I do so reluctantly. A big part of the purchase of any of my phones are the looks. This case looks a bit overbearing for my tastes although I'm sure gives great protection.

yeah.. Is a little big.. Im a CCTV Tech. always on the move, My nexus S 4G just crack with a more stylish case that this time i wanted a more protective option.
The point is that for the $12.00 I paid this copy or whatever brand this is is not a bad option.
Would love the flip stylish one. This is a beauty of phone but avoiding any falls is the least i would want to worry with this haha.

I'm coming from an LG revolution on Verizon, ill admit it's plagued with issues. The main reason I liked it was locking in my unlimited 4g data, and it handles wifi tether somewhat well. Anyway
Seeing prices on an off contract Verizon GN ($200-300) makes me consider buying one outright to replace. Doesn't help my revolution has a crack in the glass (not screen). Are there any considerations I should make beyond what I find reading out of reviews and going by user experiences? I'm so far happy with all that I'm seeing, and the caveats aren't big for me, such as omitting Google wallet and it having a pentile display. Ill bet it's miles ahead of my revolution (plain LCD 800x480). I have the extended battery for my revolution and will most likely soon after buying a GN go for the same, but I want to also hear from the xda community. Thanks all in advance.

Nah. I used to use the dual incipio case, but the slimness just cannot be covered up! Just slap a screen protector and you're golden... unless you're really clumsy. But yes, get the GNex, flash Jelly Bean, and you will be convulsing on the ground struck by awesomeness (if that makes sense? )
I just got my gnex from eBay. And this phone is so awesome! I am coming from a epic touch 4g where the phone specs should be a slight wash but I am digging this phone sooooo much more

So much development too.
The phone is great. A few days with it and you'll wonder how you ever lived with a smaller screen.
The stock experience isn't bad, but unlocking the boot loader and rooting couldn't be easier so you'll be up and running with new Roms all the time.
I'm quite enjoying mine, but it is slick and has a tendency to want to slide out of your hand. Get a case and an extended battery.
It does get warm near the top when browsing the net but its a big deal. Anyway off to work I go, get the damn phone you'll have no regrets.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Thanks all for the support! Forgot just how free and open nexus devices are. Is there a particular extended battery and case go for? I noticed an off brand 3800mah with cover (same company also makes suitable cases) for $20, didn't look like a half bad company at least. I know batteries can be hit or miss. Also, does the (insert power control widget w/wifi tether button) trick still work for that? Atm I use wifi tether and by sheer luck it works in AP mode, vs adhoc, which I much prefer. Also any particular big pros to rooting besides jellybean? I only really rooted my revolution to remove bloat, extend battery and use wifi tether. Afaik with the nexus, there's no particular bloat being vanilla android, battery is more solid than my phone, and if that tether trick works then no root needed for that with what I'm reading.

DON'T BUY SKETCHY BATTERIES!!!
Buy only genuine Samsung extended battery or from a somewhat legit company, like Mugen power.
Sketchy batteries present a high risk of breaking your phone.

Nope, mine is snug since day one. If you bought it recently, I believe you can get an exchange, but don't quote me on that.
Mine only squeeks at the area of the volume controls close to the screen and if I push on the SGP logo on back it has about 1-1.5 mm gap between back of phone and cover? Is this not the case with anyone else? I just got it today but I really don't want to have to pay return shipping

Well but the skin is definetely not made for a daily use i reckon, I mean to make sure it is 100% waterproof you always have to use a new strip of sealing tape after charging, right?
Would be good to have a modified battery cover for contactless charging. I´m starting to work on a diving base for the next 2 months, and would be good to have something covering my GNx from water.

This is true. The lifeproof case cost over a million USD to develop, and they lucked out that the iPhone 4s was compatible. Not nearly enough people own enough Gnex to make it profitable, plus the GSM would need a completely different case from the LTE. FInally, my own experience with the case sucked. You can only take it off/on 50x before it breaks (not waterproof) and it destroys sensitivity. It's something you only want when theres water around, but you can only take it off/on 50x which sucks. Also, you have to test it every time before you submerge it. The waterproof bags are way better IMO.
