I've seen a couple threads where people ask whether the Ultra or Neo Hybrids are better for the Nexus.
Well I just got the Ultra Hybrid one and I must say that I love it!!!
I explained it all in this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHjQdA1ueaY
But I just can't say enough how great it feels in the hand and how high quality it really is for a case. I usually never want to spend more than 10 bucks on a case, but if you guys are looking for a high quality case and don't mind spending about 25 bucks with shipping and all that, then I highly recommend this one!
Hope this has helped!
Thanks for making me spend £14!!!
EDIT: Could you also post the pack of screen protectors you use here? Also interested in trying some "good cheap" ones!
yeah i got my soul black one last week, i really like it to, apart from the power button especially it does tend to press with the slightest touch.
Overall very good. and great informative video. subbed

Yeah I love them! And they ship out to you so fast. Took like a day and a half for me. I stopped paying so much money for expensive ones when these work better and feel realistic. Here's my buddy's video on how to apply these types with no bubbles. Mine looks like there's nothing on the screen when I followed these exact instructions. Just use a credit card instead of fingers like he did.

It kinda does, it just won't be a perfect fit. On the side of the phone, it'll be slightly higher than the brim of the case. That's all.
How sensitive are the buttons? Can you press them accidentally just by casually holding the case?
Does the case edge totally cover the bezel edge? Reason I ask is I'm getting a white nexus, and I want to know if I'll see a little white peeking through or not.
Thanks for pointing out the screen protectors. Picked up a set!

No not really, you'd have to squeeze a little. It's easier to press the buttons with this case, but you still have to put a little effort to do so. I got used to it though after a day or two so it doesn't bug me as much as it did on the first day.

It would, the bottom and top of the phone would be under the lip of the case, but the sides wouldn't. It would be a little bit higher. But the screen wouldn't hit the surface if you were to lay it flat since the Nexus is curved.

No, but I've seen it on with the GSM 2000maH extended battery and it fits, but the sides are above the rim a little bit. So I'm just assuming it would sorta fit the CDMA one. But I would really only get this for the GSM if you want a perfect fit.

Hey mack, this case should be here in the next week or two as it's coming from abroad.
Just wanted to ask how tight the lip/rim is against the screen? I currently use the Diztronic TPU (Rev2) case and the lip is very tight which causes my XO skin to peel in the bottom corner slightly.

The thing about this one is that it doesn't "hug" the rim of the phone. It's raised above it so that if you lay the phone flat it protects it. This is good because like you said, it won't peel or bother your screen protector or whatever you may have on it. So it'll be perfect for you! Let me know how you like it once you get it.

So I just got my 3 new Cruzer lite cases and thought I would write a lil review on it and share with everyone. I have 2 of the previous Cruzer lite cases (Black & Clear) and loved them. So when I saw Cruzer had new cases coming, I just had to get them. I got the Green, Clear, and Black. This case is WAY better than the previous version. First off, it does not add any major bulk to the phone. It does add some, but very little. It has to add some or it wouldnt be able to protect the phone now would it? I compared it to a TPU case in the Verizon store and was thinner than that. Sorry, dont have make or model. I just ran in for a quick look at. The volume keys are cut out. It didnt bother me in the other case but just looks and feels much better now. The sides have a nice grip on them. Makes it nice when pulling out of my pockets. And last, the back. WOW o WOW. Love Andy the Android on the back. I am using the clear 1 at the moment. The case doesnt attract fingerprints bad at all. My wife hates Android as she had bad luck but when I showed her my new cases when I got home, she even said, thats pretty cool. As I have said before, I HATED cases before finding Cruzer Lite for my Nexus. I highly recommend you purchase 1, 2 or all of the colors Cruzer Lite offers.
For all colors available, go here: BEST CASES EVER
For those of you with headphones with big jacks, use this adapter so it will fit with the case on. Only $1.30 shipped!!

Ya this fits the GSM model too. Joel did an amazing job with this case.
Thanks for the write up. I plan on ordering a couple of these soon. I wish there was an all matte one though. The glossy ones seem to attract fingerprints more and are more slippery. I planned on ordering the black one too.
I'm gonna give these a shot either way though. I love that Andy is on the back.

If I had to guess I'd say they were molded from the LTE version. There is extra room when you fit this case on the GSM version.
If you were on the fence of getting this case, check out this...Front page of Droid-Life...you know it has to be good.

Yep.. I jumped the gun and bought this too immediately when i saw this case reviewed on droid-life.
I just ordered three, black, smoke, and blue. Im already having color remorse though, wishing i would've gone clear instead of black.

Hey guys,
Got my hands on a custom galaxy nexus gelaskin for my device and im showing it to you on this review/install video.
I aint gonna lie it looks pretty sweet.. only down side is the fact that the little top part of the gelaskin( a little strip) kinda overlaps a little bit..I like the fact that im rocking it with my SGP case right now and its double protected from the back.
I usually dont rock the front part because i like the black front but def looks very cool
Enjoy
Great review.
The one thing that I like about Gelaskins the most is the fact that the skins are removable so no need to worry if you screw up (like screen protectors) and that they have some texture to the skins so you can have some grip on it.

One thing to add to rault's response is that, if I am right with this at least, the only difference between the GSM and LTE versions (when it comes to sizes) is that I believe the LTE model is thicker. In which case it shouldnt cause an issue because the skin just goes on the back of the phone (the door and the beveled edge just around the battery door)

Thanks for the replies guys! Im really tempted on getting one of these. I have a Phantom Skinz cover for my HP touchpad and I really dig the quality. I would like to get another but those dont cover the front panels (Which I really dig). Im just a little concerned about quality when comparing the gelaskins to the phantom skinz and the vast price difference (Almost half as much). I know 15 bucks isnt much but im trying to tighten my wallet a little

When you say quality, do you mean the print quality of the skin if making a custom skin? If thats the case then you don't need to because when making a custom skin and you upload your own image a popup comes on screen telling you how good the image would look with a "good" for mediocre images and a "great" with high quality images.
Its more about the material itself. Ive been rocking the Phantom Skinz on my HP Touchpad for about 8 months now and its still going strong. With that said, im not slipping the tablet in and out of my pants and constantly using it like I would my Gnex. Im afraid how well it will stick over time and weather the colors will fade or discolor.
My custom Gelaskin should be arriving any day now. I'm wondering if the textured backing of the GN will show through or should I get a smooth battery cover?

You wont really see the texture of it (unless you angle it JUST right for the light to hit it) but you will definitely feel the texture of it through the skin.

No 'real' use' feedback but i notice its flush with the phone so it wont offer that little bit of screen protection you sometimes get. Just a thought.
I have 2. Its not flush.. it sticks up a *slight* bit and my screen doesn't touch when I place it face down on my desk. This case IMHO is the best that's out there. No its not bullet and water proof but its sexy and slim, perfectly fitting and a very high end feel. I have the white and black and both are great.

I bought it when i first ordered my note and have had it on since (as well as bought one for the gal friend). It's freaking awesome, would definitely recommend it to anyone.
Own one as well and very very satisfied with my purchase.
Owned an SGP ultra thin prior and I prefer the Elago over it, due to its better fittment and less flashy look.
so I managed to drop my phone on the sidewalk with this case on. As luck would have it, it fell upright, bottom down first and made contact right at the part where the case ends and the phone begins. Even though the case took a majority of the hit, there is a dent on the phone's frame itself. Not the result I was hoping for.
On the flip side, I have also dropped it face down and there wasn't a scratch on the screen.
Bottom line, if you're looking for all around protection, it may not be your best choice. Maybe getting one of the aluminum bumpers could be the way to go.

Are you talking about with the case on? If that's what you mean, then it kind of fits in the vertical dock. It doesn't go down all the way obviously but it recognizes it as being connected, charging, and so on. Only thing I've noticed is that on AOKP it thinks the vertical dock is a horizontal one and wouldn't change for me.

I'm using the samsung one, here's a picture with the case and without the case. You can kind of see how it raises it just a little bit. Not much at all really. As far as removing the case, I start from the top left corner then pop it off of the bottom right. I don't like applying a lot of pressure on the power button.

Hey guys,
So Im fully migrated and with lots of cases to review. Im gonna start the serie with the Cruzerlite androidified. This case is one of my favorite ones (next to the diztronic) Its a perfect match between budget and looks. ITs thin, has the android in the back and gives good protection.
Here it is guys!

When i first got mine i thought it didnt quite line up right, but then i figured out how to put it on right.
Dont start with a corner, start at the top or bottom and line up the mic hole. The other end will line itself up.

Btw - if you can't stand to look at the splotchy parts on the back of the translucent cruzerlites where it sticks to the phone, I followed another's recommendation by smearing a tiny bit of baby talcum powder inside the case, and it seems to work.
Maybe this is something cruzerlite could do at the factory? Talcum powder is a 1 on the mohs scale of hardness, so it's not an abrasive.

Damn, that's a good idea. I just tossed the cruzerlite to the side and got a speck case. I am going to have to try that. I like switching up cases every couple of weeks.
Pretty nice!
I just got mine today from Amazon.
Initials impressions is that it is quite nice. It fits pretty snug and looks nice on the phone. Especially if you like Andy the android. It is way easier to hold my phone now, especially with the side grips. I much prefer this soft TPU feel than to the hard plastic. There is a nice quality feel to the material.
My only complaint is the same as the users above me mentioned, the splotchy wet look on the back. Easily overcome with the talcum powder suggestion. Thanks zmore! Good looking out :highfive:
Phone is still quite thin after it is on. All in all, good buy, I highly recommend!
Now, back to flashing!

I had the same problem with the cutouts, but you can move it enough to line them up more or less. The cutouts are so big, they do not feel precision cut at all.
I imagine the talc trick would also make the case easier to move on the phone.
Not great with invisible shields as the case can pull up the edges due to the tight fit.
Overall, great for 10 bucks though.

Both the Cruzerlite and Amazon say that the cases are for the international version i9100. Can someone confirm if they fit the Tmobile T999? Thanks.

Actually, Amazon has some decent pictures up on their site.
Sorry, I can't post a link since I have so few posts. But if my attachments come through, there are a couple pictures.
Just got my nexus 5 and the SGP Neo Hybrid in on the same day and I must say this case duo is amazing! It covers the phone perfectly and protects the screen and camera when placing it down on a flat surface.
One happy customer

I'll upload some even though I'm not OP. First impressions are that it looks really nice, adds more protection, doesn't offer any grip to the hand.

Looks good. Have the same one coming. Wish the buttons were black, but that's just a minor nitpick.
Thx

how do the buttons feel? do the metallic buttons have any play? When you press them, can you feel the actual click of the button?
I bought a neo hybrid case for a different phone about a year ago and while it did make the phone look great, it didn't last very long. The case was two pieces... A tpu case and a plastic frame that went over that to secure the tpu to the device. I'm not sure if this case for the N5 works in the same way so I'm hesitant to buy it. What ended up happening to my old case is the plastic frame eventually broke and I'm hoping that won't be the case for this one. Can you tell me if this may be a problem with this one too?

my guess is that as long as you don't constantly take it off and on and put any unnecessary stress on the plastic frame, it should be fine and last at least a year.

They did fix it for the Galaxy S4 with a revision (the area around the port charger) since the plastic is thinnest there. This one... doesn't look like they attempted on preventing the same issue.

Again I want this case too. I love how it looks. But I already own 2 for the 2 Galaxy S4, one which had the area snapped around the port charger, and both had their paint finish starting to bubble and peel.
Looks great! I've got my Neo Hybrid case sitting on the counter in the packaging, waiting for my Nexus 5 to arrive Thursday. It's gonna be a long 3 days of waiting.

I find the case uncomfortable to hold. Edges dig into the hands a little. I received the fix from I case also and it fit perfect and follows the phone contours better. Just my opinion though.

Buttons feel good, it has that 'tick' to it. A bit sensitive on the power button side, but it doesn't accidently get pressed on. Just doesn't require a lot of effort to push it in.

I wasn't sure what to say because this phone is bigger but yeah it doesn't offer much grip.
In terms of it holding up, I sure hope that it does, I saw that they had a 90-day warranty on the case so we'll see what happens. The back doesn't leave any fingerprints. I will say this for sure, the phone feels REALLY REALLY REALLY good without a case on.

Damn, that looks great. Almost looks like no case is on there and those buttons, man do I want to push them.

If you had a Nexus 4 and the official LG bumper, the buttons on the case is pretty much very similar to that.
Made a short preview of the Neo Hybrid if you guys are interested:

Yeah, this is why I'm so excited about the Neo Hybrid with the silver edging. I love the look and feel of the official LG bumper on my nexus 4 and was hoping to replicate it with the Nexus 5. The Neo Hybrid is EXACTLY what I've been looking for.

Its exactly what it is and has more protection with the extra piece inside. From what I can tell (im charging the phone right now) it doesnt touch the outer piece or cause any pressure to it. Theres a gap between them (very minor but enough that it doesnt pressure it).

I'm not sure I am following. The back of the phone doesn't touch the inside backing of the case? Or are you saying the case button covers don't pressue the phone's buttons?
I can't decide, the black slate looks gun metal blue-ish thesilver looks very good too.
