Anyone have any recommendations for some good gel casing, just got my phone about 2 weeks ago but not looking for any hard casing for the bulkiness , just a nice gel case to protect if any fall damage
I wouldn't call it gel, but I have the ringke case and it's fantastic. You can find a coupon code online and only pay $10, free shipping.

Second on the Ringke case. It's been excellent.
The silicon case they sell at the Verizon store has worked well enough for me. Make sure to get the glossy one, otherwise it will pick up pocket lint.
read reviews and im hooked with it, got the price down to 13.00 with only working coupon code i found weare2cool, got the audio jacks seeing i never use them, hopefully it was a good buy ^_^
The only problem I found with the Ringke is it covers the sensor a little bit.

Mine doesn't?
Is the ringke case just a plain silicone case or is it like the TPU material that does't gather lint? I am looking for cases but the silicone ones get stuck on things when my phone is in my pocket and pulls things out of my purse with it. Haha.
Ringke case FTMFW! I was one of the lucky ones that was sent a free one and I LOVE it. If it actually ever stretches out, Ill be buying another one and Id recommend it to anyone thats not looking for something bulky.

OH! Yes, it does cover up the proximity sensor a little, but I personally cut a tiny triangle where the sensor is. It didnt ruin the "Structural Integrity" of the case so to speak, but my sensor works perfect.
I got the Ringke but to me it seems just like scratch protection witch is not bad, but i rather have protection from a drop, the glass on TB is easy to break iv fixed a few of these. I might just stick to my insideo case i have for now. But the ringke is very nice.

I have the extended battery and verizon does have a silicone case that works great which I use
Does ringke have one to work with the extended battery?
Also where is the proximity sensor located?
Thanks,
Bryan

sorry to butt in on the thread here, but is there a gel case for the Seidio extended battery to or just the stock?
Bought one!
Hello friend,
If you want to protect your phone from any damage, then at amazon.com you can find the excellent quality of HTC thunderbolt case that will give you 100% protection from any kind of damage.
the "gel" case they sell at the verizon store for the stock TB is decent. however, if you have an extended battery, do not get the ones on amazon for $12.99 that they offer in multiple colors. i got the black one and it feels kind of loose(especially around the extended battery and the sides) + it's not cut correctly in back where the kick stand comes out and it's a bit of a pain to use the kick stand.
i'd like to find a good quality one for the extended battery... possibly even that mugen 4500 battery if i end up getting that(which i probably will eventually)
Try handhelditems.com they have cheap and good cases

Just received a cheap cover from Amazon and very impressed. perfect fit. gaps where gaps are needed. all for a couple of quid !
www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0062M08W0
you can get 5 of them on ebay for about £7 in 5 different colours.

If you want 5 .... in different colours ....
never sure if these all come from the same factory or whether everyone just makes lookalikes....
Just pointing out that this stockist has cases that actually fit. cant vouch for any other suppliers.
(and im in no way linked to the vendor !)

Cheers for the tip, i've been looking for a temporary case to tide me over.

Thanks! ordered one until I can get something better (although it really doesn't look bad, especially for £3!!!)
Ordered! There are many similar cases on the internet but I bought this because this case fits perfectly.
Thanks!
Got one of these for a couple of quid off ebay and was pleasantly surprised. Wish it didn't have the shiny bits on it but it's a good case, fits perfectly.

Got the same case from same seller as the OP.
For a temp case it's bang on. Fits fine. Not too ugly. Dead cheap. £1.89 total price paid, shipped same day in a plain small jiffy bag.
Don't think there are any premium options at this stage either. The Casemate gear advertised on MobileFun and Expansys isn't in yet.
Now about an official charging dock and car mount...

I've got this one too but power adapter doesn't fit inside properly ,I need to used old one from Samsung and it's better.For £2,50 worth it

I am using exactly the sam case, it seems to be of decent enough quality. All the right holes in right places and right size. Like you say it fits absolutely perfect. I particuly like the bits over the power and volume buttons and the texture for extra grip. This case is an absolute bargain costing me less than £2
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Got the same case as op bought off ebay all of the cases looked exactly the same.
why are all these cases making access holes for the dock connectors, when if you have a case on your phone, it will no longer sit in the dock?
I got this case in the post today and it fits perfectly.
Not too shabby for a temp case. Definately makes the phone easier to hold. Doesnt feel like its gonna slip out my hand anymore!
Think I am going to have to get a few.
Another positive experience here. Mine arrived today. Phone feels so much more solid in the hand. Thanks for the tip.
mine arrived today. Used link from the OP. Well pleased with the fit and look of the case for the price. The added grip is also MUCH appreciated!
Thanks again to the OP.

I guess there could be third-party docks that can fit the GN with a case on. Just need to make the fit loose enough and have long pogo pins.
Ive got the same case too and can confirm its a great fit and will do me until a proper good case comes out.
Quick update ... a few days in (and several times taken off and put back) and it hasnt stretched or warped at all ! very impreesive for the money
ive bought cheap covers before and usually regretted it but this ones a keeper
Just bought the rocketfish case today and it fits great even with the extended battery, thought I would share my pics.
EDIT:
After having the case for a few days I am going to return it, build quality does not seem to be there.
looks nice. I assume that case is from best buy? How much?
nicely done

Prolly, I also noticed that the title on the packaging said Nexus Prime.
I went to the store today and tried the Rocketfish with high hopes. I currently have the double Incipio case and hate how big and bulky it is.
The Rocketfish case will close.... but NOT all the way. It does have some gaps around the edge on one side (the other side closes fine). I tried on 3 different ones (they were really nice because I told them I was following advice that it would fit) and none of them closed all the way.
I think this case is a hit and miss thing.
(If it wasn't obvious I am referring to it fitting over the extended battery).
Can't find this anywhere is it definitely only in store?
I definitely would not recommend anyone purchase this case for their phone. I purchased a similar case last year for my NS.
The case did more bad than good to the phone. Since the inside of the case is not padded with anything you are left with plastic rubbing against plastic, which in turn creates scuff and often times scratches on the back and sides of the phone.
I purchased this from Best Buy and will be returning it right away. I will not be making the same mistake twice.
BUYER BEWARE. YOU WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE IF YOU USE THIS CASE.
I prefer a rubber/grippy back to my phones, and the current white Note back is too slippery/shiny for my taste. Does anybody know of any back cover replacement (not a case, and not with the screen protector attachment) I could buy? Thanks!
There are a lot of case that will add that grippy feel your looking for but I think your looking for a simple battery cover replacement. There are a lot of those out there but I dont remember seeing any that has a rubberised texture your looking for. You might have better luck searching for a 3M like film that will cover your battery cover, I've seen a few that offer carbon fiber that might help with the grip but not exactly the rubber feel your looking. I will keep my eyes open if I see one and let you know.
Found this one:

(Leather but still for grip)

Also Just a reminder that these are for the international version, If you have the AT&T version I've heard that the battery door snap ins are a little different.

DX do lots of these, I have a this one, but there are many others. I bought a few of these and figured I would just swap them out as they got scratched. keeps the phone nice and slim and they actually work out cheaper than cases!

I've got a couple of these, not the same brand since mine has the Samsung logo on them. There nice because the do add just a little thickness which i like because it raised the camera just a touch so it doesn't get scratched. I think the OP wanted something with a little more grip, but I don't find these nearly as slippery as the gloss white cover.
Just phenomenal everyone, thanks for the input. I think I'll try one of the metal covers! Just worried about too much added thickness, and maybe color clashing since I see some black around the border of the cover, and I have a white note. Can you guys comment on the quality of the cover? The metal cover thread seems to have conflicting reports, from 'beautiful' to 'lacking in quality.' thanks again.

Metal covers = attenuated cellphone signal = worse battery life. There's a trade off.
I'm looking for a battery cover that has a matte finish. Haven't found any unfortunately.

For those using these replacement back cover, does it still fit the Samsung Car Dock?
I am curious if these covers add extra thickness such that it will not fit the dock anymore.

Thats the first thing i worry about when getting a case / cover. Most docks are designed for the naked phone, so your stuck between a protected undockable phone or a scratched up one.....no way im taking the case off everytime i charge the phone, geez...i cannot wait for wireless charging to become the norm...
Have you guys tried out an Icarer leather case before? I just got a black version of it for my New Nexus 7 on Amazon and I am really impressed. Great fit, very snug. It's not a smart cover though. For less than $25. It's worth more like $100. Below is a link to it. Just wanted to share. It took about 10 days for the case to arrive. WOW this case is great! Nice leather smell too.What I really like about this case compared to other leather cases is the fact that it does not cover any part of the screen, leaving nothing to obstruct your swipes.

Does Qi charging work thru the case?
Also, not a smart cover , I wonder if that could be remedied by adding a small thin magnet under the cover? Might be worth it for such a nice case.

I do not have wireless charging so I can't tell you. Maybe someone else on here does.…yes, adding a magnet does work. I took one out of my cheaper case and it works fine. Just have to find a way to attach it.

That is not made of real leather if you read the description closely. PU leather. Also it covers to much of the screen which I'm not a fan of.
