Nice Imak cases with raindrop effect

http://www.ebay.com/itm/120857927796?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
too bad its coming from china, but this may be my next case. they have all sorts of different color gradients

This looks really cool actually.

I would be so paranoid that my phone was wet

I purchased one of those cases a week ago, yet to come but hopefully it will fit with the extended battery

real nice.. anyone as a pic of how it would look like for the black back-ed galaxy nexus?

I got it from here, at much lower price and free shipping.

Nice but it doesnt cover the bottom fully right

it doesn't fit the extended battery.

Free SGP case?

Hey guys, I know I'm probably late on this as everyone has had this phone for a while now and probably has a case. But I have an SGP Ultra Hybrid case I'd like to give away. I know it says Galaxy Nexus on the sticker but after going through the T-Mobile S2 and AT&T Skyrocket forums, I've finally determined that this is for your guys' phone lol. Anyways, I haven't opened it as I intended to give it away as I have a GSM Nexus and have no need for it.
SGP makes good quality cases; even the box it comes with is surprisingly high quality . If you guys aren't familiar with it I'll do a review on it once my other one comes in. The black part is TPU quality while the white back plate is like a matte hard light-weight shell. It feels premium. After tax and shipping and all that it came out to about $27.
Just wondering if anyone would be interested in it. If enough people want it I'll figure a way to give it out. Thanks.

Oh wow seriously? Then I wonder what this one's for....
The black part is TPU so I'd assume it'd be easy to cut a little square for the external speaker. Sorry guys, I was happy because I thought that I finally figured out it was for the Epic Touch 4G.
The power button is to the right so it's definitely for an S2 variant. The size and form factor, plus the little hump at the bottom, has to be for the ET4G.
If you guys still want it I'll still give it away. Usually SGP cases are perfect, dunno how they mess that up.

Id love to have it. I love SGP. And I do need a case! College student here! I could use it!

I checked that too. But that phone is more curved out on the sides. Its not boxy looking like the Sprints version. I wanna open it and check at a Sprint store if it will fit your phone, but I would feel lame to give away an opened product lol.

It'll fit, but like a poster before me said, the speaker and 3.5mm port won't work.

What's your favorite lte compatible case? Pics please

Sorry for the double threads but I figured this will be better to get opinions. Can everyone say their favorite case for the lte version gnex? Pictures would be great. Also is it a dust magnet? My last case actually scratched my phone a lot by drawing dust into the case.

That's a great work case I'd imagine. I can't seem to find a nice small case
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Unfortunately it seems that the case makers jumped on the gsm version and assumed the lte version would be close enough.
Even with its problems, the ultra hybrid is still my favorite. It's pulled away a touch at the top and the back does get a little loose when hot, but it's not really that bad. I like how it doesn't have cutouts for the buttons, which I like. It feels the least like a case of any I've seen.

Galaxy Nexus Waterproof case?

Does one exist?

I haven't done any extensive search but I looked the other day and stopped at some kind of plastic pouch.
So I don't think so. I'd try eBay, maybe some Korean or Chinese seller has one.

I wouldn't trust a ziploc bag to last anytime submerged. MAYBE against splashes, but I'd rather use something more reliable.

I personally have taken my phone under water using a generic water proof bag. They were 3 for $10 USD. the only problem I had was if the water put pressure on the screen it would go crazy..... I just added more air to it and held it so I had to push through the air to select what I want. Ie picture or video

Here's a short video I took so u can get an idea of how it is underwater also.

Well but the skin is definetely not made for a daily use i reckon, I mean to make sure it is 100% waterproof you always have to use a new strip of sealing tape after charging, right?
Would be good to have a modified battery cover for contactless charging. I´m starting to work on a diving base for the next 2 months, and would be good to have something covering my GNx from water.

I wish lifeproof would make a case for us.

This is true. The lifeproof case cost over a million USD to develop, and they lucked out that the iPhone 4s was compatible. Not nearly enough people own enough Gnex to make it profitable, plus the GSM would need a completely different case from the LTE. FInally, my own experience with the case sucked. You can only take it off/on 50x before it breaks (not waterproof) and it destroys sensitivity. It's something you only want when theres water around, but you can only take it off/on 50x which sucks. Also, you have to test it every time before you submerge it. The waterproof bags are way better IMO.

Aluminum Bumper

Most cases are made of some weird rubber, either they feel cheap or they get stuck in the jeanspocket.
Some cases look great but they always tend to build so much bulk..
Has anyone tried an alu bumper like this one? Looks great atleast..

It looks great yeah but 35 dollars is too much for just a case which is why I didn't buy the official one. If it was a battery case for that price or even a little more like 45-50 then it would be worth it for me

With battery cases like this. You will lose a bar or two on cell phone reception as well as wireless. This was the case for the Galaxy S4. I believe you will lose the function of NFC as well.

How protective are aluminum cases though? I feel like TPU/plastic combos would probably protect the best since it absorbs shock better than metal.

Thought they had a $5 off coupon....

Why does that one bottom corner stick out like that? I'm guessing that's how the case clamps together. Seems like it wouldn't feel very nice.

Yeah not bad, but I'm not a fan of Florida sticking out of the corner there. Always making a mess of things!
Also with it being an Aluminum bumper, I'm pretty sure it's aesthetics only. That's a relatively soft metal, especially with how thin is looks. Any real bump and it will probably dent/scratch easily. It's like using a thicker version of the HTC One as a protective case.

I am holding off as well. Even with the screws, not sure if it'd fit in my Seidio holster without scuffing the crap out of it. However whenever I visit this thread and look online at the pics, it seems unbalanced to me because of the screws.

Waiting for feedback on the aluminum bumper. I'm interested to find out if the bumper keep the back of the phone off of surfaces. It looks like it wouldn't protect the back of the phone at all.
