I'm really thinking about getting the extended one. But I use a case so you wouldn't see it. So I don't know if I should

I definitely would have bought this if I saw it 2 days ago! Already got another one. Looks nice though!
To me it looks to fake, looks photoshoped anyways I'll wait till somebody buys it and post pictures of it.
Good luck to anyone who buys it
Thanx for sharing

Looks extremely fake to me. Look at the white, off colored blocks around the logos...

Very nice! Does it have the same mesh texture as the original? Or is it smooth? Hard to tell in pic.
My standard GSM white cover is smoother.

Sure I can post pictures later after class (around 10 pm EST)
But if you must know now, it's not worth it. The cover is designed for the short, fat batteries that Verizon uses and no amount of trimming I did was able to overcome that fact. The top and bottom will just never be flush at the same time because the battery in the GSM version extends up higher than the Verizon version. Also it is a tad wider than the GSM back so it needs to be shaved down there as well. I can get it to stay on but not in a way that I deem satisfactory because in all honesty I think it looks like ass when it's sticking up partly. Also the cover looks and feels like it should be smooth, slick plastic but it's just smooth. It's a different texture.
I painted my original back cover white with semi-gloss spray paint and it looks halfway decent. It fits on correctly and feels decent enough.
I also ordered an extra extended back and a white decal, so I'll make a big thread comparing all three options when I get those
I order the extended cover got it for $9.50 will post pictures of it when it gets here. I have a VZW GNex

So basically you got the LTE Exntd back cover to try it on your GSM version?
Also so these cases are legit? On ebay the item picture looked to fake to me, like they were photoshoped or had an white sticker on top of a cheap looking cover.

Yes that is what I did. We don't have our own white extended back so I tried a few things, and have a few more to try. Yes the back cover is legit as far as I'm concerned. It's branded and everything. It has no texture though, but my stock GSM white battery cover had less texture.
I'm hoping is legit. The Sellers says it is so let's hope. He marked it as shipped. As soon as I get it I will post pictures of it.

Make sure when you get it you give us specifics like are you LTE or GSM and if you can see how it fits with the extended battery (if you are lte.)
I want one but I am fixing to mod my gnex to work with a touchstone so I want to know that it will fit comfortably, especially for something that is 30 bucks.

Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G using XDA App
alright got mine in the mail today... its really classy looking... fit is tight... like it was made for the phone but its genuine leather so it will stretch for a better fit with time... as u know leather gets better with wear... fit in pocket is really nice... same as the naked phone in pocket but more secure. for sure protects... its perfect if u prefer your phone naked, or going to a meeting or meeting someone for coffee looks really nice set on the table... i really think it was worth buying...

Just buy the case. I have had mine for 3 days now and I think it is the best case I've had. Real quality feel with good protection. And the strap makes it so easy to get the phone out of the case.
I have a Sena Ultraslim as well, but the Crumena is much better! The only thing is that it is a little bit wider compared to the Ultraslim, so the phone will feel a little larger. But I dont mind, the overall feel is really good. Smells fresh leather too =)
I ordered one yesterday and I have an LTE with the extended battery, so I will report back how it is.
i am currently using following case and pouch
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/luckyexpress168
Thanks for the pics OP. Anxiously awaiting the review.
For those that have it - is the snugness of the case affected by the direction you put the phone in? I usually like to put it in with the top of the phone at the opening.
Just ordered a black version earlier. Wanted to go naked on the phone with this instead =).
Those who have this pouch, could you tell me what material being used inside? Is it soft cloth or leather a well? I'm a bit worried it can scratch the screen
I'm really interested in the black version, do they ship to US?

Has anyone bought and tried out this casing? It's a aluminium bumper, just like those for iphones. Looks interesting although that front bezel is over pronounced imo. If you anyone has bought this maybe a short review and some pictures will be greatly appreciated.

Wowie! Looks great. Too pricey for me though to try to find out whether it'll fit the VZW version..
I thought 35 wasn't too bad considering the fact that I had a friend who paid 130 for an element case for the iPhone. Lol
I'm using a GSM phone with standard battery and I have a friend whose using VZ LTE with extended so ill definitely let you guys know how it fits!
If anything, it does seem like the full battery cover is exposed so I would assume the extended batteries would fit. That's also another plus for me since I swap out with ebay batteries when I'm running low!

yeah, I agree.. looks like it adds a good 3mm "lip" on the front...
those are over priced, I get them for USD 15 over in china.
Looks pretty cool. I'd be interested how they look and fit on the VZ w/o extended battery.
Ordered as soon as I saw this post, and it FINALLY came in today!
It does add a bit of bulk and weight, but it feels pretty sweet!
My favorite thing about this case though is the fact that the battery door is exposed so I can easily remove the back cover and swap out batteries without taking the whole case off!
With that said, there's definitely a good chance that the extended battery would fit, but the case is pretty fitted on GSM so I honestly don't think it will fit the VZ LTE model.

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.

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!

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!

I ordered the white and it got dirty within a week and the material it was made of just couldn't be cleaned. I carried it mostly in my jean pocket and occasionally in my purse/bag (always clean, no spilled makeup or the like). The rubber area wasn't as dirty but kept the jean indigo ruboff while the matte area just got yellowish/brown dirty. I received an email from the company asking for feedback and I let them know and asked them how I can clean it. They didn't have any suggestions and instead offered to send me another, to which I replied gratefully and asked for the teal color instead of the white.
It comes today and I'll take a couple pics if you want. Awesome retailer (through Amazon).
Other than that, awesome case. The charger went in a little crooked but straightened out after a while. There are holes for a lanyard strap or charm which I got used to on my old HTC and the GNex lacks. The side ridges make it super grippy and the big Android on the back prevents [most] people from saying "OMG IZ THAT TEH NEW IPHONE"
The best part is taking it off and remembering how thin the Nexus is ^_^
Hahaha ur last sentence is so true!! Everytime I take off my cases it makes the phone look so slim

Oh, nice! I have a new phone strap and wanted to use it but was slightly bummed that the Gnex doesn't have a hole for one. The android design on the back is also very cute.
Thanks for talking about the white version. I'm a fan of white cases but worried about the discoloration on this one. I mostly carry my phone in my purse with usually no makeup in it.
I hope you guys aren't trying to say that this case adds a lot of bulk to the phone...

Here's a tip for anyone ordering the case from anywhere that requires intenational shipping.
If you pay via Google payments then the order will be complete with you just paying for the case thus will save you on paying the international shipping charge - At least it worked for me.

Have been using the teal and its really nice. The charger port hole still isn't perfect but I am just careful with it.

The case looks sharp indeed. How is the little retractor doing? No damage to screen?
I had something similar for my old Palm Pre2 and it wacked my screen pretty quickly because the stitching inside.
Edit: is confirmed by a reviewer also:
The one critique I have with this pouch is that the strap you pull to pop the phone out is stitched into the inside of the pouch on the same side as the phone's screen. I have a screen protector on my phone, and am finding small dots/dents in the screen protector forming the shape of a square from the stitches inside the pouch anchoring the strap.

The case I got for Pre2 was the original model made by Palm and it still managed to damage the screen. I don't understand how was that possible as the screen was Gorila glass, but it had 2 thin mate spots that annoyed me the hell out.
I don't use screen protectors. Just a personal preference bit never liked them. After 6 months in and out of spigen pouch there is absolutely no marks on the screen. I mean not a single mark. I was thinking about cutting the strap and throwing it away because once the leather took shape of the phone I can now shake it out without using the strap and I found this to be much easier.
Leather looks better every next day (I went for brown version) and it feels really nice.
I promise I do not work for spigen but I have seen some of the other accessories they do and the quality of their products is second to none. Have a look how beautifully made are the ipad cases on spigen website. Can't wait until they make one for my nexus 7 as well.

Don't worry, I hate screen protectors also.
I have the Sena one for Nexus, very slim and very good leather quality.
And it works with OEM extended battery also.

I almost bought this until I realized it was almost 1/2 an inch to short. I emailed the company to inquire about the possibility of a case made for larger Android phones and received a reply later the same day " Let me go ahead and pass this along to Dave so that he can take a look, and maybe we'll come out with a longer Sleeve just for phone like that one you have there."

Reviews I've seen/read rather enjoy this one. Has a magnetic pull strip that pushes your phone out.
