after searching for a good white and black case for the LTE nexus. i caved in a bought two incipio cases to form one case.
i bought the black and black, and white and grey cases to form the black and white case. totally worth it
im uploading some pics to show just how good this case combo is as i have yet to see any pics on how this case looks in white and black.

if ya like this setup and dont want to buy two cases, go yell at incipio for not making this obvious color choice
I have seen quite a few black and white cases on eBay just fyi. And some do fit the LTE nexus.

Seidio Active comes in white. That's what I use and I love it.

I have the same one as the OP (but it's grey). I hate it. It's too big for the GSM Nexus. Obviously designed for the Verizon version (but of course isn't mentioned in the product listing). It's sitting in a drawer somewhere.
Actually, that looks really nice. I've got the Incipio Silicrylic in black, I prefer it to the Otterbox Commuter. I think I actually prefer the gray and white to black and white, it must be said.
I just noticed the gray and white is on offer... Hmmm. I might be tempted to get one.
Looks good, my seido active looks pretty much the same, it's a nice color combination

I am using this case now (white and grey) and have had it on my phone since I bought, almost 2 months ago. I am looking for a new case to replace this one cause I really just don't like it. It doesn't fit very well with extended battery, but I knew that when I bought it.
The real problem is the case is brown now, lol. The white stayed that color for about a week. That and one of the corners has a hole in it from taking the top piece off and putting it back on a few times. I had the same case on my Thunderbolt and the corner did the same thing.

Leave the back in bleach for about 12 hours, good as new. Happened to me and it looked so weird to have brown on a white case.

Pics of my new argyle case from Daydeal. So far it's my favorite after using the T-mobile gel case and the Samsung OEM Blue & Black case. Don't get the OEM blue and black case. The black rubs off VERY easily exposing the blue underneath. Very poor quality. And it's too floppy, so I've pulled the phone right out of the case when I had it in my jean pocket on multiple occasions.
All cutouts align very nicely on this case.

I have this case for my Vibrant as well... Got it at the T-Mobile store when I picked up my phone (I want to say it was around $10-15) Its a 'soft' hard case if that makes any sense. Its some kind of hard plastic with the outside having some grip. I got the dark gray color case which works out nice since you don't really see the argyle print when its on
hey, I'm not sure if this is the same, but this is the case I am currently using. I had previously been using the gel case from t-mobile and I also have the hard case from Samsung, but this remains my favorite. It comes in multiple colors, I am using the Orange and liked it so much I ordered a green. Cut-outs are perfect and adds little to no bulk to the phone.
check Amazon, under - Amzer-Luxe-Argyle-Samsung-Vibrant
Stay away from their Gel cases, total junk & I returned previously.
Hope this helps.

Yes, the Amzer case is the same as this one. Glad you are liking yours as well.
Got mine as a cheapy case until the SGP redesign drops. I knew I wanted a TPU case after reading about how silicon is a dust magnet, and I needed something a little stiffer as well. I searched for "Vibrant TPU" on amazon and found these for around 12 shipped as well. I got the orange one, for no real good reason... Fits really nice and snug, not too hard to take off either. The Amzer ones have a cutout on the battery door around the GALAXY S logo, I believe.
got the same case from handhelditems.com for i think $10 its the smoked argyle, I love it!
Just ordered a sgs2 and it appears that the back cover is smooth, the black phone has a better grippy, mesh like cover. Does Anyone know where I could get a white gritty cover? Thx

Go on ebay. There's plenty of different battery covers you can get. I found a white carbon fiber sticker to put on my white battery cover. It adds grip while looking awesome!

i have only found this
http://www.ebay.de/itm/White-Carbon...sesPouches&hash=item41603632c9#ht_1487wt_1396
its looks great
askham, where and how can we get one of those? dude, that looks awesome. That silver housing, is it part of the phone or a bumper case, something interchangeable? the white mesh back?
God, mate, we need answers...
As I said in my original post that is how the phone came from Orange UK.
The silver frame is the same part as the white phone, its just silver and has the Orange logo on it.
My sister said the girl at the Orange shop said they are the new stock, it comes with NFC enabled too.
I've no idea whether you can buy the housing from anywhere, I would love the textured white back too.
wow. that's news! so orange are doing a limited edition. I hate them. I have the original all black.
Some more pictures for you

Got the Black Carbon Fiber XO Skins for mine and my wife's gnexs. Shipping took 2 days. The install for these are SUPER easy. Unlike with the clear, you don't have to worry about dust and if you mess up anywhere, you just peel it back and stick it back on. I also used a blow drier to make sure it was all stuck just right. I won't be using a case anymore, just the carbon fiber and the clear screen protector for the front. These have a texture to them and aren't the cheap ones that are printed on ebay
Coupons: sprintxo essentially pays for shipping.

Looks good! I just got my clear protector from your post in the other thread. I have a white nexus and it looks great.

Skin on the front? Or do you mean a screen protector?
@OP, it looks great! Hope it won't leave any sticky residue when after it's being removed.
I was tempted to buy this, then I remembered that I have a pretty good hard case. If I had gotten this, there was no way it'd actually fit in the case.
Sorry, by skin I mean I am using their screen protector. The carbon fiber covers the sides and the back. They say they don't leave anything sticky behind.
Anyone get a Red or Blue that can post a pic so I can add it?
I would love a skin like this but that also adds some protection, something between this and a silicone case.
These things feel pretty strong. I bet they can take a lot
Any comments now that you've had this on for a few months? Any peeling at all? Any scratching, dent/nicks, etc? Getting sick of my case and thinking about ditching it for this. Obviously won't provide drop protection, but I want the scratch protection without having to use one the horrid clear ones.
Still looks good. I haven't dropped it on asphalt or anything, but it seems to hold up well.
It also has a slight texture, I have tried other carbon fiber before that was just slick.
anyone have pix?
I got this skin about 5 months ago. No pealing, though at first it wouldn't stick on the lower beveled edge; I had to hold it on for around 15 min real pain in the ass. I was also fooled into thinking it would completely cover the back of my phone, no slits just 2 pieces it is in fact 5 pieces with gaps. Very disappointed with the appearance.
That being said its a tough skin and I rarely use my case anymore.

I posted 2 in the original post. I would post some more for you but I now have the SGS3. It helps when you install to use a blow drier on the fiber. It seems to kind of melt it down to the phone
You can save 40% by putting this code "scareoff40" it ends real soon.

I wanted a dark-blue navy colored case that was full-fitting. As in, no loss of protection to any corner/edge of the phone.
This case was the closest I could find to what I wanted, so at $15 shipped in the USA, I went ahead and picked it up.
I'm not crazy about this case. But it's not bad either. Pretty good for $15 shipped I guess.
Here are some plus's & minuses.
1) It's kind of slick feeling. Like it could easily slip through my fingers. Not the worst ever, but definitely one of the slippery feeling cases I've used.
2) It always feels "dusty" even when it's clean?
3) #2 is probably because it has a "silky soft" feel to it. I'm probably just not used to the way that feels. It does not feel like any TPU case I've ever used before. It does not feel overly rubbery but instead, almost "cloth-like".
4) It's a perfect fitting case. VERY easy to put on and remove. So easy in fact, that you think the phone might fall out. But once the case is on, it feels like it fits perfectly. The case does not wiggle around like some cases I've had before.
5) The cutouts are all very good.
6) The USB cutout is large enough to allow all of my microUSB connectors to flush fit the phone when connected.
7) The blue color has a barely perceptible PURPLE tinge to it. Even though it's mostly blue. Kinda like the phone itself.
8) It has not gotten any scratches in the few days I've used it so far.
9) There is a huge blemish above the volume rocker. I've circled it in the pic below.
VOLUME BUTTON WITH BLEMISH ABOVE IT. Blemish is circled in red.

It's for the version with a tv aerial. This is what always stopped me buying one of these, can never know until it arrives if a version without the hole exists.

Probably for the Korean market. They have DMB which requires an antennae to watch TV.
If this is designed for the korean market S3... its gotta be slightly loose, as the S3 with the TV antenna is slightly thicker
So I cracked my black nexus 5 32gb since I refuse to have a case because it makes the phone too bulky. For the longest I have time I have wanted the red nexus so it was time to experiment. The screen replacement cost 130 on eBay took like 10 minutes to replace. Now since I had to wait I actually found a red nexus mint for super cheap and had to make a choice. The red and white nexus is more slippery due to plastic back and I don't know if I could sell the red and black for 400 since its kinda custom. Anyway turned a negative into a positive actully made a nice profit breaking my phone.
Let me know what you think and is there like a cover that sticks to the back like the nexus 4 had.

I'm jealous man, that's exactly the phone I want!
The lack of quality makes it look better because my back gets dirty and smudges all the time and looks kinda faded. My goal was to do this to sell it but don't think it would sell for over 400. Anyway ordered a red spigen slim case for it just so I don't crack this one

Very cool! Ive been seeing a lot of nexus 5 users changing out the back panels! Now if only it were easy to replace that earphone colored piece....
Wow, looks great! If I seen one of these, I'd be instantly purchasing it.
Looks great!
Fully aware that the thread is a month old, but I just ordered a black back cover on eBay for my red Nexus to do the same thing. The red Nexus is just to slippery for my taste.
How much less slippery does the phone feel when handled?
I'm a bit worried that the red frame contributes a large part to that slippery feeling.
Just curious and eagerly waiting for my back cover to arrive ..
That is sick!!!!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
it would've looked even more cooler if the red was even more saturated or vivid, still looks cool though.
Cool
I have the black and ordered the red back plate just because I like the red.. going to switch between them I think depending on my mood.. when it is in I will post the result
So, I had the red Nexus 5. When I've cracked the screen, I accedently ordered the screen+frame of the white Nexus 5. In the first week it looked awesome but now I miss the red frame. I think about taking the glass out of the glossy black frame and put it in the red one. I just need a sucker tool and some glue.

More than likely, it won't work.
I liked this idea and did the same to my black N5. The only difference is the addition of a rinkge slim case. Over all I'm pretty pleased with the effect.
