yes..I was disappointed too ..

I have the toughcase and it fits my gsm nexus like a glove with no gaps at all. I didnt find another version for the verizon nexus. I ordered mine from htcpedia.com and they told me they contacted casemate but couldnt get an answer. The i515 is a tad thicker so i would think this should fit the 9250 but might not be perfect. Im not sure about the popcase.

My casemate pop is sitting in my closet waiting to go up on ebay. It's very protective but the charging port doesn't fit most chargers and is Very hard to take off, also the glossy plastic is a scratch magnet. I tried to like it but these issues are unacceptable

I used a drill bit to open up a hole for the backside microphone that was covered, and a file to widen the USB opening, so that I can use it with a car charger. Since it works well with the GSM extended battery, I prefer the tactile button action over the other 7 cases I have (cruzerlie, diztronic, case mate tough, silicrilic, rock, otterbox commuter, generic TPM).

Shouldn't need to drill a case to make it work. It should be working out of the box.
I've never been a fan of the Pop Case. It's either, barely there or tough case for me.
I had a Pop case for the Nexus S and it was a awful experience. I had the back creak because I was trying to push the phone out of the case too hard by accident.

Can you post some pics I was thinking the same thing, but with a large heated pin or something like that.
Do you all think we can make some kind of petition to case-mate for a swap, after all its not a cheap case and they could have fix this issues in the factory ?

Video Review: Rearth Ringke Slim for Galaxy Nexus

Hey guys,
Got my hands on the Rearth Ringke Slim, this is Rearth's revamp of the original Ringke series of cases, which were made of TPU. The Slims are thin, plastic shells that wrap around your device. Rearth touts this as being the slimmest plastic case, and I can definitely see why! The matte finish looks and feels great, but over time tends to pick up some dirt and grime.
Check out the full review below;

Great video review, I want one now! Thanks for that!

You're welcome! Glad to help

fantastic looking case, may well pick it up...another fine video

Thanks Buddy Hope you enter my giveaway video coming up later this week!

will this case work with the gsm extended battery?

Yes, I demonstrated that in the video.

thanks, i actually only watch the first half just before you put on the extended battery lol. funny that you mention scratch protection of the case after you showed that it scratched the phone. ive read that this case can also scratch a phone with the normal battery. thats too bad since this is the only thin case ive seen that has a lip over the corners.

Yeah, if you're gonna use it with the stock battery, you'll be fine. The scratches are cause of the added pressure by the thickness of the extended battery.

Just got mine and I love it. Very sleek and sexy. No scratching the phone or anything.

Otterbox Commuter REVIEW

so as you guys know , I made the review for the defender and now its time for the commuter!
Very sleek, sexy and portable case. Minimum bulk while delivering great protection. A little slippery on the back but i can handle that
For me..ill take this case over the defender any day of the week.
Enjoy!
http://youtu.be/cm1qbkTA-2A

I got mine a few days ago and it's great. It doesn't make the phone to bulky at all and looks and feels great.

I convinced my brother to buy one after I dropped (test) it shoulder-high on the ceramic floor, twice. Still shiny new. The past reviews that I read were pushing me away from the commuter but I can honestly say it delivers protection and it's not that bulky. It doesn't pick up that much dust, and my phone is always in and out of my pocket. also, when you get the hang of it, you can put the case and remove it in 2 seconds. I don't know why people were hating on it. I don't use the extended batteries, gsm.

Has anyone crammed a VZW Gnex with the extended battery into the Commuter? Right now I'm just using a cheapo gel skin, but I'm in and out of the case a lot and it's starting to stretch.

Those cases make me cringe. Such beautiful phones being destroyed by cases.

I Rather rock a case than to have a destroyed phone
Honestly Im a HUGE fan of rocking my phone naked..however I cant afford a new phone every time I drop it (and with my dropping skills it happens pretty often). Thats why i stick with the thinnest cases possible that still give good protection (sgp,diztronic,commuter,etc)

Yea I have it and it fits fine. You may want to take the battery cover off. That's what I do
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

Same here. If you choose not to cover your phone, that is your given right. However, when you have an unlocked device you're running a big enough risk as it is.
Also the VZW users may want to check this guy's mod out.

i had the commuter for my captivate and decided to try one for my gnex but returned it. it is one of the best fitting dual layer case that ive tried but i dont like how the outer hard shell is so slippery and the lines down it make it look cheap. the case was just as slippery as the naked gnex.
i bought the incipio silicrylic instead, it doesnt fit at tight as the commuter but is a bit thinner since the lip is not as high. the silicrylic feels so much better to hold with its rubber coating on the hard shell and exposed silicon on the sides and top. another downside is the incipio attracts more dirt than the commuter but its not as bad as some people say.

I had this case...pushing the buttons thru the case was a pain so I returned it! And pulling the battery is a true *****! In terms of protection, its great though! No doubt! I don't use a case anymore but I highly recommend if you're in the US to just go to ur local Verizon store and grab an incipio, fits better and pushing the buttons are easy! Plus they give u a stand too! Although I returned that also cuz this phone is too sexy and sleek to cover up, in my opinion of course!

Commuter with no battery back fits well. Best IMO.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I bought my GNex slightly used (1 month old), the previous owner had the Commuter one the GNex from day one, which was cool because I knew I was buying a used device that was most likely to be in mint condition... and it was. It has GREAT protection and IMO the corners having the interlining exposed was a great design because if/when you drop the phone, it's most likely to land on a corner first.
THAT said however... I'm currently NOT using it and decided to go with something slimmer ONLY because I've developed a habit of typing ONLY with Swype with ONE hand, it started when I had the Nexus ONE... and I got pretty good at it... The problem is... the GNex being bigger, Swyping with one hand is now more of an effort because I don't have big hands. WITH the Commuter case, it was simply more work... I'm keeping the Commuter for now, and would totally still be using it if it wasn't for the Swype thing.

Galaxy Nexus Incipio Silicrylic

Picked up an Incipio Silicrylic for my (GSM) Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Great form factor & snug fit for a Hybrid case. Its build quality is top notch as we've come to expect from Incipio. The case offers good protection & can handle most mid range impacts. I had a friend try it on his Sprint GNex and I must say that it wasn't a perfect fit. Even though most sites say it's compatible with the CDMA version.(It's NOT) but is capable of handling the extended battery for the GSM version.

Anymore pics from your phone? How's the silicone on the bottom part? Floppy? Sturdy? Does it collect much dust?

The silicon is actually pretty sturdy and it's not that prone to being ripped. I have all black version, and it collects dust like mad..

My Incipio Silicrylic with a SU vinyl decal. Loving this case so far.
Sent from my i9250 (GSM) Galaxy Nexus

Can anyone confirm that it can house the GSM extended battery?

it'll fit with the extended battery but it does leave a gap on the backside. I've had it since release day. the gap isn't very noticeable.

How much was it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

i just ordered the white/grey one straight from incipio and it was on sale for $17.99 and i got it in 3 days from CA to CT.

I have this case on the LTE verizon GN, and it works great.
I often use the official extended battery, though it is a somewhat tight fit for this case. As noted for the GSM extended battery above, it does push the bottom of the case out a bit, so there is a slight gap. Removing the battery cover will get rid of the gap, but I tend to leave the cover on and ignore the gap.

Anyone wanna buy mine? I like it but I'm changing to something else...might just go with a skinomi skin...$15... PM me if interested...

Hows the lint attraction on these things?

The lint attraction is pretty much non-existant. Gets an A+ on that subject. As for the screen protector Incipio includes with the case. It's terrible,very cheap. I actually threw it out. But the case overall is one of the best I've used and I've spent a small fortune looking for solid cases. Incipio has proven to be a great brand.

My friend has this on her Nexus. I felt like it made it too bulky for my liking. But it's definitely a great case that gives good protection.

I bought the grey and white one which i really like. To bad the black one would attrack dust and lint just by looking at it to hard!

My GF has this case on the Verizon GNexus and it fits really well. Well made and the smoother backing makes it easier to pocket. Silicone does collect some dust but since its so little surface area, its not that bothersome. It seems like it would really protect well but I'm not going to test that out!

Perseus by Trident
So, I ordered finally a trident perseus orange, looks good, have heard that doesn't give bulk to GNEX and provides light drop protection. In fact there is a discount at tridenteer.com 25% and free shipping in the US, I ordered it to Poland and payed 15$ with shipping over the ocean! Maybe I'll make some review after I got it

[Q] Case recommendation!

Hey guys, my S3 should be here by the end of the week, woooooooooo. But I need some help deciding on a case and was wondering if people who have tried different cases or used just one and can reccomend it could chime in. Basically I want something that will protect the phone, specifically something with a lip so when screen down the screen isn't touching the surface it's on, and basic protection of the phone, I don't drop my phone often, never dropped it on concrete, I'm not very clumsy but I still want something that'll protect my very very expensive phone. The Otterbox defended and similar cases seem like overkill for me, but the clear plastic 2mm case seem like not enough protection, so I was wondering if there was a nice middle ground that wasn't too thick and bulky but would definitely protect the phone. I've got my eye on this one http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/samsung-galaxy-s-3-ballistic-sg-maxx-series-case, any other suggestions?
Keep in mind I'm coming from a Desire Z with a thickness of 14.2 mm, the S3 feels like a piece of paper in my hand coming from that, so a little bulk doesn't bother me.

That's a nice deal for the Kraken, I like the Aegis as well, they look really nice.

I know you said the otter box is excessive but they actually have two different styles at sprint. i have the slim otter its not bulky but protects everything. I like alot due to the fact that it protects the charging port as well as the ear phone Jack. I had the s2 before and my charging port always got stuff in it like lent from my pocket or what not. The case is lined with a silicone case inside a hard shell which will stop dirt from getting inside and scratching the device as well as making it more drop resistant. It is deffinatly worth having for 30 dollars.
The otter box i have is actually smaller than the case you have posted and comes with one screen protector as well.
Here is a youtube review of the case if it dosent play just google galaxy s3 otter box commuter caae.

I actually just picked up a commuter case to replace my defender. It's much sleeker and easy to take in and out of the pocket. While it retains the solid feel the defender offered, I have an issue with the grip. Any advice on dealing with its slickness?

The Otterbox doesn't look too bad, but for the price of $32.50 it seems kinda..... Boring. Some of the other cases look really cool.

+1 for Otterbox Defender. Its not anywhere near as bulky as I thought it was going to be and I really like how it provides me with solid, square edges so I can prop it up on my display screen in my car dash very easily and it stays securly in place (for the most part).
