OK guys..
Need some tips for selecting which case I should get for my GN. I want my phone to be as sleek as possible with the case on. Using stock battery.
Now, not many shops are stocking accessories yet for the GN. So I have to give eBay a go this time around.
I have shortlisted these two cases:
BLACK GEL S Line TPU Hybrid Cover Case Skin for SAMSUNG GALAXY NEXUS I9250
Black Soft S TPU Silicone Case Cover Skin for Samsung i9250 Galaxy Nexus
Is there any difference between the above two cases ? They have the same pictures and description. Just the title is different. :/
How are the above cases different from the Diztronic mentioned below ?
Diztronic Samsung Galaxy Nexus Matte Back TPU Case Gel Cover & Screen Protector
Thanks
Im rocking the black and clear Andy from site listed below. Do understand any case will add some bulk but this one is very little. Also adds nice protection to the front in case you drop it to protect the screen from cracking.....it doesnt have the volume keys cut out but it doesnt bother me....plus its not rubber so no lint being stuck

Also, he said he has a new case coming out that I will def be checking out once it comes out. You can see a preview here

I have one of those first one, the S TPU case and I think it is a perfect case. The added grip at the sides make it very comfortable to hold without fear of dropping it. Go for it

Hi, i'm searching for a SLIM case, but unlike the Barely There from Case-mate i want it to fully cover the phone.

It does not cover the phone
try the sgp neo hybrid, its the thinnest dual layer case ive seen. i cut out the backing now so i use it as a bumber case.
hey im like you. i love the barely there case but i also had a problem with it offering just partial protection.
i ended up with the sgp ultra hybrid case. and i couldnt be happier. very slim. very well built. the only thing it doesnt cover is the screen. doesnt add much bulk.
i also have the sgp ultra capsule.. its just too shiny looking for me.
Diztronic Matte
I like the Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible *Revision 3* TPU Case.
$9.89 on Amazon, thin and covers phone
Incipio Silicrylic case ftw.

I buy Diztronics for all my phones.
Just got the alpine white ringke slim case. Best case I have come across. Looks amazing!

I recommend either one of these. The Ultra Hybrid may look thick, but it's actually thinner than the Cruzer Lite one as much to my surprise.
Ultry Hybrid:

Cruzer Lite:

I like the cruzer lite, it adds a thick enough "lip" over the face of the phone that setting it down doesn't allow your screen to contact the surface you set it on. Plus it's only $9.

I also have this case and I really like it. It's matte, though, so it's not exactly grippy, if you're looking for that.
thinnest and uber cheap case
Hi there,
I'm not quite sure how thin you would like your case to be, but I recently discovered a couple of cases on ebay that may fit your description.
LINK: I'm sorry, I am a relatively new user on XDA and I can't post link just yet. However, you can ebay a seller called "smokydiscount" and keywords: 0.2mm Ultra thin case for galaxy nexus prime. Otherwise, just PM me.
MY OPINION: I really like these cases and they're great for scratch protection. As for drops and bumps, these cases are negligible; your phone will probably be just as damaged as compared to without a case.
PROS:
- Incredibly thin. It's as if your phone doesn't have a case on it
- WILL protect the back from any scratches. You can leave your phone on a rough surface without any concerns
- Very cheap
CONS:
- There is no front lip, meaning if you put your phone face down on a rough surface, beware. However, the case does come with a screen protector which is fairly decent (ALMOST to the same standard as Brando screen protectors)
- For some reason it does make the phone more slippery. The plastic doesn't provide any grip
- The case is very fragile when it is not applied on your phone. I had to get a replacement sent out because the case came to my house cracked, most probably due to the postage and handling.
Despite the cons, this is definitely one of my favourite cases. Check them out.
TPU rubber case with stand on amazon only 3 bucks and it covers everything , just need a screen protector

I just just got the Speck Pixel skin HD, and its pretty great. Thinner profile than my otter box commuter, yet it feels much better. It looks pretty good, but I don't know if it was really worth $30

Hello ive been looking to find a mostly white and black case for my sprint nexus.
all that I have found is that is close to white and black is
the Seidio Active
http://www.shopandroid.com/seidio-active-case/4AA9541.htm
and the Incipio SILICRYLIC which in order to get black and white, you have to buy two cases
http://www.shopandroid.com/incipio-silicrylic-hard-shell-case-w-silicone-core/4AA10630.htm
does any know of any good quality white and black cases for the lte nexus other than the SGP cases? (does not fit well with lte models, and yes ive heard they "can" work)
Cruzerlite makes some white cases.
Mine should be here in two days. Although it isn't white.
White TPU cases get nasty extremely quick.

wha the said mine lasted a few days before it started getting really grimey around the edges. If anything get a plastic white one, not TPU
I honestly say stay away from the active I have it and its a massive dust magnetic so much so it actually caused the back of my phone to get scratched up

If you don't mind pretty much never taking the case off...get the Ringke Slim. It's by far the best fitting case I've ever used. It also looks nice as hell. Protection is a little scarce, but if you want a white case, you're probably not worried about protection.
mercury tpu cases are perfect check them out on ebay or youtube
Looking for the thinnest and best fitting TPU style case. So far, I know of the Incipio NGP, Diztronic and Cruzerlite. What do you guys recommend?

I'm using the Diztronic matte blue one. Fits really well and looks great, much better than the cheapo one I picked up on ebay :silly:
Hasn't anyone used all 3 of the cases I listed above for their S3 and can compare? Wondering which one's the thinnest.
In have the diztronic matte black and it's great. Its not too thick and has a decent grip to it. Some have said the cruzerlite tpu cases have a ribed side for grip.
+1 For Diztronic matte black. Thin, light, good fit, easy to remove, no finger prints, slides easily in and out pockets, provides "adequate" protection of all 4 side edges given its thickness and a light lid-bumper around the front edges of the screen helps keep the screen from touching flat surfaces when the SGS3 is placed face-down. Btw... it also looks good.
I have all 3 and I must say the THINNEST hands down is none of the above. Samsung actually makes the thinnest TPU case and also while its the thinnest it has covered flaps for the 3.5mm headphone jack and the micro usb charging port! While I love my clear matte back Diztronic case the Samsung one has it beat in terms of sheer thinness. It also has the least amount of lip so it doesn't lift the edges of a Zagg or other full screen protector. Just my 2 cents.

The Body Glove tpu case is actually really thin on my S3 and its 20 bucks on Smartphonepedia.com. I hope this helps

Have you tried Samsung brand Protective Case blue TPU case? This thing feels amazing, nice grip and covers headphone port and microUSB. I have tried several different TPU cases and this one hands down feel the best for me. ExpansyUSA is selling them for $12.99

I find it lame that people review cases and use the terms "thin" and "slim" in term reviews... These terms are totally useless to me as they can mean drastically different things to different people. When I do case reviews I try to include measurements whenever possible.
Example, post #4 of my Igadgitz TPU case review:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762539
I think if more an more people start doing this, everyone will be better off.

Ended up ordering the Cruzerlite matte clear one and it should be here tomorrow. I'll probably end up trying out the Incipio translucent mercury too. I hear a lot of good things about Diztronic but not a fan of their color choices.

When you get both, will you perhaps do a side by side review of them for us? I like to hear what other people think about our stuff and how it stacks up against other cases.
Thanks

Will do.
The Mercury Pearl is by far the best fitting and looking TPU for the SGS3.
IMHO, YMMV...
i have a diztronic and the cruizerlite case. i like the cruizerlite better but thats mainly because it has the cool design all over it. the diz is just a plain cae. the diz is thinner than the cruizer but the cruizer has the ribbed sides so it grips better. they both fit about the same. the ridge on the front that touched the screen is a little thicker on the cruizer. i'd recommend either to anyone!

not splashproof but very thin..
I really like my mercury translucent Incipio NGP case. Only downside is that the covered power button is a little harder to click.
really like my matte black ditztronic
I want to try a Diztronic case but I don't like the color choices for my white S3.
I've been looking around for a white case that is as thin as possible. I've looked at the Feather and Barely There cases, but I don't see white.. any suggestions?

Correct. The RingKe Slim is the best thin white case you will find for the Galaxy Nexus. Also, it fits the extended battery.

I would strongly advise you against rearthe. I used it on mine, I got the metallic 1, the paint started coming out in 3-4 months, it developed cracks in 7-8 months, n the best thing of all, because its such a tight fitting case, it scratched up all the sides of my phone housing. Get a tpu. Best white 1 that I use is mercury tpu. Or get a cheap white hard case from ebay. Also, search in aliexpress for white hard cases, lot of really good ones, I dont like hard cases anymore, hard to take off.

I'd have to agree on this one. I too had the Ringke Rearth, same problems as above (minus the paint chipping off - mine was glossy white). A white TPU case is your best best - cheap, flexible, and easy to take on/off.
