I've seen that before. It's not a case. It's a screen protector with the Android sticker. Look at the picture carefully, there is nothing that indicates that a case is used, but you can tell there is a screen protector on. I've also seen those stickers around gmarket when I was looking around.

Skin Your Galaxy Nexus! Make it White, Red, Carbon, etc!

I was researching because I have seen people skin black iPhone's (bleh) and such to be white and I thought it looked awesome. I found a site that has a very huge reputation and customer feedback that now supports the Galaxy Nexus! I already ordered my white skin! These are awesome because they do not add any bulk and look legit!
Will post pictures of just a few examples, they have 8 pages of skins though! 9.99 for the skin, not bad at all just an FYI for anyone that also wanted to do this,

I'm looking forward to your review.

Looks good but a no no for me if notification led is covered. Mind you The white skin would look brilliant with white theme.

you can just use a hole puncher to make the led notification.
if you want it all white, soon there will be white nexus shells available and mercury (korea company that makes cases and protectors for mobile phones)makes the multi colour screen protectors for many phones including the nexus are already available.

Looks sweet, looking forward to your review!

Not very good at making holes could ruin it. Shells will probably make significantly bulkier which I don't want.
I will probably wait for feedback on skin.

I got mine from skinit.com
i will post pics in few minutes i made really similar design as i will have on my phone just waiting for my invisible shield to arrive
EDIT: Look into attachments

I'm waiting on the white chassis with the white extended battery door.

Gelaskins also has skins for those interested. I can't post links yet due to post count but they're at:

this one is my friends (i made the design online on their site and he applied on his phone for now) he said it was easy , and skinit is better since you can do your own design.

I much prefer using gelaskins myself since they only seem to be the ones that cover the full back of the nexus while other sites just cover the battery door and a strip underneath it. Plus like many other sites you can make custom skins for yourself with custom designs.
Plus they are a local business. Gotta support the local economy

I mean the actual frame/shell, not a protective case that goes on top.

Do you guys think there will ever be a black s3? I'm pretty bummed that they didn't go with black and I might be even more so if they come out with it later and I'll be forced to buy it off contract.

I have to agree here. I looked at the White S3, and just thought that it looked too plain. I mean yea... there's nothing special about giving a brushed aluminium look to plastic, but at least it's an added bit of depth. Didn't really want such a smexy phone to look like... uuh... another popular white phone that's not nearly as smexy.

Yea those pictures + screenshot of a listing in phone arena's database for a black s3= there's probably one coming. But not for awhile is my bet. Kinda a bummer though. I like my blue and all but black would be so much easier to match up with cases.

I don't think there will be, due to the lawsuit with Apple. Trade dress. Google it.

Sammy has already hinted that there will be one. http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/sam...51/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

It's a joke, some of the stuff they claim is patented.

According to Android Police as of yesterday, car phone warhouses' inventory states that it could be possible. As an owner of a white one, I'm jealous of people that get the black one no homo

It's even worse that they're claiming that the ICON'S infringed on their patents. Going by their actual patent information in that document, and looking at the side by side's later on... wtf are they on? Well, we could easily say that the white phone on a green background is NOT at a 45-degree angle. And most of the others don't look remotely similar. I mean... thinking that Samsung's smiley in a speech box looks similar to Apple's own speech bubble? The Settings icon... what... because it has a gear in it? And WTF are they on with the photo gallery icon? NOT EVEN CLOSE!
Apple just seems to have the patent office in their pockets, as well as the judges they use for this sh*t, cause they are granted so many patents for the most ridiculous stuff it's unrealistic.

Changing GS3 Colors

I've hated the blue from day 1. Now that there is a black variant, I'm trying to find a black shell so I can change the color. I've been searching but no luck so far. Has anyone else seen any floating around?

No luck there anyway. Just battery covers.
EDIT: Now that I look closely at repair videos, it looks like the glass is glued to the frame. Swapping it out isn't trivial and risks damaging the screen. Damn.

Yea, the colored part that you see on the front is where the glass is adhered to the metal frame. as you said, it can be done, but it's not exactly easy. I'm just glad i got the blue instead of the white one.

Looks like I'll have to find someone local to trade with

i did it for.my gf.. bought a white one, chaanged the front glass to pink. and battery cover to pink, then added a pink battery cover. now shes happy lol.

Thinking about it that's actually blinkfeed shown there.....

Can you guys tell me how the hell does it work? I have a friend with the S4 using this case and once the screen is covered with the case and somone calls him u'll see the swipe to answer up there at the "window"! But if you uncover the screen it will show normally!
Is it a firmware thing samsung planned?

Has anyone's case arrived yet. Really digging that design but if blinkfeed has to be on to see it I'll pass.
There can only be one, the chosen ONE.

Won't work.
1. S4 has magnets (like iPad) which recognize the case. The one does not have em
2. Samsung has amoled which, as some here know, can turn on some pixels while the rest are off.
LCD however, can only have all of them turned on or off, so not only a few on while the rest are off, which means it'll drain the hell out of your battery if you keep it on.

well if you'll push the power button you will see through the window?

yes, but you'll only see the status bar, not like on the pic. On the lockscreen the clock is at the bottom..
Also, when receiving a call the answer/receive buttons won't be relocated like on the S4.

If you use pattern lock screen, you can see the clock like on pictures. Otherwise, thom109 said, when you get the call, answer button won't relocated. You have to open the cover.
Mine has arrived half an hour ago. I got the blue one and love it! Looks really good. It adds little bulk though but I keep dropping my phone in those days and I think I am gonna stick with this case

Yes, I really like it so far. You can use as a stand as you know. It looks, feels really protective also. Nice texture. I love the blue color.
Also, I have contacted to seller on Ebay about grey color. He said, he will contact to factory and once it is available, he will let me know. I believe grey matches better with our phone.
