Hey everyone, i was going through Ebay and noticed that they finally got a new design
for that aluminum bumper case they've been selling. I've seen this one before in another
thread but there was never a link for us to purchase. This case seems to be a lot thinner
than the previous Aluminum bumper. I already purchased a silver one.

What do y'all think?
looks good let us know how it goes .
seems to me it would fit an extended battery
But I don't see how the cover fits on !
They do look nice and hopefully someone can get some pics of them on their Nexus's. And hopefully they do fit the Verizon version. I know Aluminum bumpers dont have any give in them and thats why they have been incompatible before so hope the description is accurate.
I'm assuming that the case is a snap on. I was looking at some of the Cruzer Lite cases, but I think this will be a decent replacement for about the same price.

The case itself is two pieces but I think its more of a slip on bumper than a snap on. You can refer to this post to check out a review.
Review - Case
Are you sure these work for the Verizon version? I couldn't find any info that would point to that on the ebay page :/

Um... you do realize that the VZW version is thicker right?
I've found that people will list the Verizon Model in the item name but sell accessories that do not fit the Verizon model.
For example, I bought this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/30070173227...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_2978wt_1275
Not noticing the description said:
"Galaxy Nexus CDMA SCH-i515, Galaxy Nexus GSM i9250"
And ended up with a case that didn't fit properly. When I messaged them about it they said I ordered the wrong thing regardless of how the item was named.
As a result I tend to look in the description for the specific word Verizon before I get anything.
If the one you get fits that'd be great. This is just a heads up if anything

Don't shoot the messenger, i'm just telling you what i saw on the post. I do realize that, i work in the cell industry. Relax..
Hey joey. Good find. Let us know when you get it if it does indeed fit, I'm actually really interested to see if it would. I'm also wondering if it would fit extended batteries based on the fact that it appears to be more of a bumper than a case.

According to the initial review thread of this Aluminum Bumper it fits Verizon Galaxy Nexus perfectly well.

Got mine in the mail today (black)! Thank you..
Fits great (verizon) aside from the buttons.. but I can deal with that USB works fine .. haven't tried a headset yet.. GPS locked in about 45-60 seconds with airplane mode on. 15-30 seconds with airplane mode off.

The ones from that thread might not be the same cases as the one mentioned in the OP. Just have to wait and see to test it out and confirm if they fit the Verizon version

The case on the picture is exactly the same. The cutouts and sliding mechanism are the same all the way. It's just good to see those bumpers are now available without direct export. Enjoy them they look good in real.
Looks pretty neat. I'm wondering if it affects the phone's signal. $15...I'd like to review it but kinda expensive for a case.
Most people had issues with GPS after using this case. I thought I remember hearing it messed with cell signal as well, but I can't remember; if you do a search you can see that these are not worth it.

I'm not sure but, I'm currently working with the seller in getting a review sample for anyone that is interested. I should have a video up in the next two weeks depending on the shipping. I'll definitely look into the cell and GPS once it comes in!

I've read several posts from people saying the dimensions are only about 0.3mm different so the Korean cases for the i9000 would fit on the Vibrant.
I imagine the silicone cases would fit fine, but I'd be curious about the fit of the hard cases.
If anyone picks one up, could you please post your feedback on the quality and fit.
**Sorry for the new post, I meant to post in the existing thread about the Silicone Cases. - Not sure how to move this post.

Actually I'm pretty sure that the phones are the exact same size, so you should be able to use any hard or soft case that's made for the international version without any problems.
I was going to order one of those Amzer cases, until I saw the 8/17 ship date.

they have cheaper ones on ebay in black and in white just type "Galaxy S TPU" in the ebay search bar but there weren't any pics of it actually on the phone so i put these up instead, I know those auctions are for 2 cases and a useless screen protector (has Galaxy S Home button cutout), I wonder if maybe you have the choice of two colors since your getting 2 cases anyways?
The white one looks nice .

It looks different enough from your run of the mill gel/rubberized/plastic case. I like the design. Much more expensive at ~$20, but my Vibrant deserves a nice case for having such a nice screen.

Give that its soft leather not hard plastic I would assume so.
Did Motorola just released an official case of this? You bet!!
So with soft leather the scratching issue should be a thing of the past.
But for me the huge news and most important part is that they put three standing positions on it (instead of two of the previews case). That gives three viewing angles to this case (plus one flat view) with the lower one as showing to the picture to be what is called the "typing angle"!!!
So in summary, for me, this case is nothing less than a perfection of the original case!!
THUMBS UP!!

The problem I have with the current hard plastic folio case is that the Xoom is too heavy and doesn't stay at the lower "typing angle" notch w/o slipping and folding totally flat.
I don't see how this leather case would work differently.
That's what I like on the Apple iPad cases (either the original or the new smart cover) is that the typing angle setting is pretty solid/stable, and the device doesn't "slip" and drop completely flat while you're typing or even clicking icons/links/etc.

Just thought I would mention this. We finally now have an official Leather Folio case solution sold directly from Verizon. It is a foldable leather case like ones for the ipad. I dont have a picture of it now but will post one tommorow. You will not find this case online. For some reason only employees have been told about it but anyone should be able to order it from customer service or through a store's ordering option.

There is no cutout at the bottom for charging. See the pictures I posted at the URL provided in the post above.
It is very similar to the Moto Folio case in design, much "sexier" in appearance though.
Just ordered one myself. Should be here in a couple of days.
Convincing the Verizon guy that I didn't want the plastic one was a bit of a chore. Thankfully I had the part number from this thread.

I linked to your post in the op, hope you dont mind.
So I saw a lot of requests for a video of the Sweet Armor metal bumper for the Galaxy S2 so I decided to upload a review of it. I received it in the mail today and so far it has been pretty good. I probably won't be using it though since need to use the Case-Mate Pop's kickstand very often. I highly recommend the bumper though. It is a much better option than the Taurus bumper and the other available bumpers.
The best part is that it will fit the 2000mAh battery with the backdoor!
Also, I will be receiving my black brushed aluminum back cover for the phone on Saturday. If you want any pictures of that or pictures of it paired with the Sweet Armor case let me know.

Regarding the Aluminium Back-Cover
Hey there matey,
First of all, thank you for the detailed report, both the text and video iterations.
I just wanted to ask (I just ordered the Sweet-Armor bumper in black), where did you order the back-cover from?
I ask this as the seller from whom I purchased the bumper from, did not include the back-cover. (Not sure if it's meant to be part of the package)
Cheers.
I was able to get this from a friend because he doesn't like pouch style protection so he has given it to me.
I personally love pouch-style over cases so in my opinion, this fits well and is great. Only thing is that I rather have a fabric like the one that came with the G1 over this leather feel. Amazon seems to sell them for 29.99. I can't post links so please search for
SPIGEN SGP Leather Pouch Crumena for Samsung Galaxy SIII, S3 for Verizon, Sprint, Tmobile, AT&T and other Carriers [Black]
comes in three different color variants. fits my phone perfectly.
Well reply to this and you'll get your 10th post and ability to post links.
I've ordered this pouch, and was wondering if there's enough room for an S3 with a "sleeve" case like Rock or the Diztronic one to fit into it?
Thanks
I've had the brown for about two weeks now, love it. The speaker hole cut out is a welcome addition.

No, the sleeve from SPG is tight enough where if you held the pouch with phone upside down, it won't slip out. Thats with the naked device.

the vendor I get fromis every_sell
i have been getting pouches from them for almost every phone i've had.....I can't find a difference at all...
I once bought a pouch for them and was about to give them a negative review because they state OEM....i emailed them saying I was going to give a neg review due to them stating OEM.
They told me that htc actually contracted with who they get the cases from to make it for the g1...so all they do is redesign it for the new phones with the same material and build quality, hence stating OEM
i would have given them a negative review it was cheap and flimsey...but It isn't....it is a little deceiving they state OEM when it isn't, but the build quality doesn't suffer, so i dont mind.....if it did, i would have given them negative reviews
thanks for that link, i'll def look into that in the future! like those G1 style cases the most.
This thread is useless without pics. Lol jk but do you have a pic for real though

if you hold the pouch upside down, does the phone slide out or is it tight? thanks

Scratch Issues

Hey question for you guys who own this case. I've been reading up on reviews for the crumena (mainly on amazon) and there has been some complaints about the case actually scratching up the phone. The scratches are mainly on the side and more specifically the back of the phone mainly due to the ribbon.
Are you guys experiencing the same problem??
christian, I didn't even get a days use out of the case. After fighting with it to get my S3 to go inside of the pouch, I ended up having to use a razor blade to remove the stitching as the S3 was stuck inside of it. I was reimbursed by SGP.
Picked up my N7 this morning as soon as Best Buy opened, but was a little disappointed in that I didn't find any custom cases/covers for it. I am walking around with it like it's a 1 day old infant. I know Asus is making two types of cases/covers this time around, but I can't find them anywhere to buy.

Anyone find where to get them online...or in store?
droid-life had some amazon links to a case and a screen protector, but the links were dead when I got there.
I saw a case or two listed on amazon.com when I searched for "Nexus 7 2013 case" but I have no idea how reputable the sellers are.
found some more pictures and descriptions on asus website. but I can't link yet.
I REALLY hope these cases hit the street on the 31st with no shortage of supply like the old N7.

I don't expect case till next week some time.... We all got the tablets early... Just don't break them lol
i hope they make the blurex case again like they did for the original....the leather case that turned into a stand and had the hand strap also :good:
Amazon has them listed on the Nexus 7 product page, but the links 404 when you click them. Hopefully they put the case and screen protector up for sale soon.
I'm picking up my 32gb tablet in about half an hour over lunch. Very excited. :highfive:
I just want a SP.

Anyone have an experience with Portenzo cases?

I quite enjoyed my Poetic case on my OG N7 and I hope they come along with something similar.
Also, for anyone caring, screen turning on with the magnet still works with the 2013 model. :good:

I have the Portenzo Alano with Intellistand for my OG N7. The case is spectacular. It looks amazing, and I get compliments just about every time someone new sees it. The functionality is also outstanding. The Intellistand is an essential feature, and my device has never slipped out of the grips. I also travel a ton, and I just toss my Nexus into the front pocket of my backpack. My device still looks as good as new.
I would definitely be ordering one for me new Nexus (still debating) except the one drawback is that it adds a fair amount of thickness to the device. In the case, you're looking at about 2.5 times the thickness of a naked Nexus. That might not matter for most people. I have always kept my devices naked (naked N4 is sitting on the desk in front of me), though, and it's been the one thing that's kind of irked me about this case. I have no other complaints though.

I am definitely getting a Portenzo for my N7! Looks like they opened up pre-orders with a nice little discount. Although, no actual images of a new nexus 7 in a case. I imagine the cam hole will be different. They posted a pic on their FB page showing work being done to make the new case.
I was actually surprised to see the N7 in stock for how late in the day I stopped in at BestBuy. Snagged one of the last two available, no accessories for it at all.

all the stores within 20 miles of me north of cincinnati still show in stock online. although a couple dayton ones are sold out
Those Portenzo cases look like Dodocases, which are made of very high quality materials but do jack when it comes to standing up the device. How does the Portenzo keep the device up?
Case without a front cover?
For the original Nexus 7, I have a back-only case (this one, if I'm not mistaken - http://www.i-blason.com/ninja-x-style-tpu-softgel-for-google-nexus-7.html ) and I absolutely love it, because I can then treat the N7 like an oversized phone.
I've been searching, but because there isn't a clear name (Nexus 7(2013), New Nexus 7, Nexus 7 2, Nexus 7-B), I can't seem to find anything.
TY in advance!

With the Alano case, if you get the Intellistand option, the binding edge of the frame is held by two strong magnets on the corners instead of being permanently attached. Since the cover is a flexible leather, you can pull the magnets apart, and it creates a wedge like this:
Very cool, thanks!
