Gizmoskin Galaxy Nexus Sleeve - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey XDA!
Just thought I'd share this GNex accessory with you guys.
http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Pocket-...398FWG8WBJ1NO&qid=1350202164&s=generic&sr=1-8
I bought this 'sleeve' around 4 months ago when I bought my nexus, and its been great!
I didn't want to have a bulky case, but I also didn't want my phone to be naked and then find out one day that it's broken. I like using my phone naked, and this sleeve is great.
It is really thin, hugs the phone tight, and the quality is pretty alright. But for 15 bucks I'm not complaining.
Check it out, tell me how you like it ;D

Looks good! I might get this for attending gigs, lots of sweating when moshing and I hate phone cases D:

Looked at the reviews and all of them had pointed to bad craftsmanship and poor build quality. How long has it been holding up and is it still in good shape?

Here are some pictures. Keep in mind that I use it really roughly, and I live in India where I travel by public transport and it's dusty and hot.
It is really thin, and light, but volume is really low because it's blocked by the sleeve.
The top part is kinda coming out, but it doesn't really matter to be, because it protects my phone well.

Nice find and the price is very cheap.

I have this case it's excellent. Fit is very good and it's very light. The sides have a little texture which makes it easier to grip and the button covers provide just enough resistance that I no longer have pushes happening when it's in my pocket. I was skeptical when I ordered it but I really can't think of anything I'd change about it - it's a fantastic case at a ridiculously good price.

I got mine about a week ago. Paid $1.99. Absolutely the best case for that price! Nice and snug with great texture on the sides for grip. Highly recommend!

Got a link for this on Amazon? I could only find this case for $10 on Amazon.com
Its the case Im rockin right now and it feels nice. Obviously it doesn't make a huge difference, maybe its in my mind, but i even removed the battery cover. Just my phone and the case. Works nicely on heat too

I think im going to order this sucker right now!
Wonder how this one stacks up against the $10 one from Diztronic? I have that model and it's also a pretty nice case. Think I'll go ahead and jump on one as well. But I'm still looking for something in the Aegis/Commuter range for protection. Anyone seen either of these two floating around? For some reason, I'm just not feeling the Case Mate offering. Maybe I should re-think that!
Is it that same one as this one: http://www.amazon.com/S-Line-Shell-Samsung-Galaxy-Sprint/dp/B005U30660/ ?
all these people have the case but no pics?

Looks identical - I expect they all come from the same factory in any case. But why get it from amazon for $7.50 when you can get it on ebay for $2?
Just ordered my Epic Touch from Amazon yesterday (upgrading from an Evo 4G).. figured at this price, it'll at least be good enough to use until I find one that I like better... if I dont like this one
Whoo got the the case today and it feels amazing on the hands.
I sometimes think the phone is to thin and I can't grab it so well. I have used it for an hour now and I could already feel myself enjoying using my phone alot better.
The phone has some grooves on the sides that feels pretty snug and some what rugged.. Maybe it's so it doesn't slip out of your pocket. Which will benefit me since I use the phone for music and the gym alot.
Now I can lay my phone down on the counter with worrying about scratching the screen or the camera
Overall looks
4.5/5

I bought it off the link the op posted and they shipped it out fast.. (united states) I received it in 3days

Seidio active case REVIEW

Hey guys finally finished testing this case for my nexus . Its a hybrid case and I can say I like it.not that bulky and gives good protection

Sorry fellas
I love this case. No problem with fitment with my CDMA phone. I use this case on the weekend when I'm home a lot with the kids (Diztronic/CruzerLite for the work week). A bit pricey, but completely worth it.

Otterbox Commuter REVIEW

so as you guys know , I made the review for the defender and now its time for the commuter!
Very sleek, sexy and portable case. Minimum bulk while delivering great protection. A little slippery on the back but i can handle that
For me..ill take this case over the defender any day of the week.
Enjoy!
http://youtu.be/cm1qbkTA-2A
I got mine a few days ago and it's great. It doesn't make the phone to bulky at all and looks and feels great.
I convinced my brother to buy one after I dropped (test) it shoulder-high on the ceramic floor, twice. Still shiny new. The past reviews that I read were pushing me away from the commuter but I can honestly say it delivers protection and it's not that bulky. It doesn't pick up that much dust, and my phone is always in and out of my pocket. also, when you get the hang of it, you can put the case and remove it in 2 seconds. I don't know why people were hating on it. I don't use the extended batteries, gsm.
Has anyone crammed a VZW Gnex with the extended battery into the Commuter? Right now I'm just using a cheapo gel skin, but I'm in and out of the case a lot and it's starting to stretch.
Those cases make me cringe. Such beautiful phones being destroyed by cases.

I Rather rock a case than to have a destroyed phone
Honestly Im a HUGE fan of rocking my phone naked..however I cant afford a new phone every time I drop it (and with my dropping skills it happens pretty often). Thats why i stick with the thinnest cases possible that still give good protection (sgp,diztronic,commuter,etc)

Yea I have it and it fits fine. You may want to take the battery cover off. That's what I do
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Same here. If you choose not to cover your phone, that is your given right. However, when you have an unlocked device you're running a big enough risk as it is.
Also the VZW users may want to check this guy's mod out.

i had the commuter for my captivate and decided to try one for my gnex but returned it. it is one of the best fitting dual layer case that ive tried but i dont like how the outer hard shell is so slippery and the lines down it make it look cheap. the case was just as slippery as the naked gnex.
i bought the incipio silicrylic instead, it doesnt fit at tight as the commuter but is a bit thinner since the lip is not as high. the silicrylic feels so much better to hold with its rubber coating on the hard shell and exposed silicon on the sides and top. another downside is the incipio attracts more dirt than the commuter but its not as bad as some people say.
I had this case...pushing the buttons thru the case was a pain so I returned it! And pulling the battery is a true *****! In terms of protection, its great though! No doubt! I don't use a case anymore but I highly recommend if you're in the US to just go to ur local Verizon store and grab an incipio, fits better and pushing the buttons are easy! Plus they give u a stand too! Although I returned that also cuz this phone is too sexy and sleek to cover up, in my opinion of course!

Didn't think of that.
Commuter with no battery back fits well. Best IMO.

I bought my GNex slightly used (1 month old), the previous owner had the Commuter one the GNex from day one, which was cool because I knew I was buying a used device that was most likely to be in mint condition... and it was. It has GREAT protection and IMO the corners having the interlining exposed was a great design because if/when you drop the phone, it's most likely to land on a corner first.
THAT said however... I'm currently NOT using it and decided to go with something slimmer ONLY because I've developed a habit of typing ONLY with Swype with ONE hand, it started when I had the Nexus ONE... and I got pretty good at it... The problem is... the GNex being bigger, Swyping with one hand is now more of an effort because I don't have big hands. WITH the Commuter case, it was simply more work... I'm keeping the Commuter for now, and would totally still be using it if it wasn't for the Swype thing.

Aluminium Case

Has anyone bought and tried out this casing? It's a aluminium bumper, just like those for iphones. Looks interesting although that front bezel is over pronounced imo. If you anyone has bought this maybe a short review and some pictures will be greatly appreciated.

Wowie! Looks great. Too pricey for me though to try to find out whether it'll fit the VZW version..
I thought 35 wasn't too bad considering the fact that I had a friend who paid 130 for an element case for the iPhone. Lol
I'm using a GSM phone with standard battery and I have a friend whose using VZ LTE with extended so ill definitely let you guys know how it fits!
If anything, it does seem like the full battery cover is exposed so I would assume the extended batteries would fit. That's also another plus for me since I swap out with ebay batteries when I'm running low!

Pictures would be sweet man. Only thing holding me back is that, what seems to be enormous bezel on the front.

yeah, I agree.. looks like it adds a good 3mm "lip" on the front...
those are over priced, I get them for USD 15 over in china.
Looks pretty cool. I'd be interested how they look and fit on the VZ w/o extended battery.
Ordered as soon as I saw this post, and it FINALLY came in today!
It does add a bit of bulk and weight, but it feels pretty sweet!
My favorite thing about this case though is the fact that the battery door is exposed so I can easily remove the back cover and swap out batteries without taking the whole case off!
With that said, there's definitely a good chance that the extended battery would fit, but the case is pretty fitted on GSM so I honestly don't think it will fit the VZ LTE model.

This guy got one yesterday too.
He has extended battery and verizon phone and claims it works. He did need new screws.
He also had an issue with the headphone jack being too deep, and he needed to buy new ones from radio shack.
Thanks for the review though!

Cruzerlite Androidified TPU case review

Hey guys,
So i finally got this case in my hands and man its pretty cool! the android def gives a sick new look and its a high quality case. on quality it reminds me of the diztronic... The case feels good and its price cant be beat
A different take on a tpu..something needed on the market
enjoy
http://youtu.be/evu8Fw_3JRc
I ordered the white and it got dirty within a week and the material it was made of just couldn't be cleaned. I carried it mostly in my jean pocket and occasionally in my purse/bag (always clean, no spilled makeup or the like). The rubber area wasn't as dirty but kept the jean indigo ruboff while the matte area just got yellowish/brown dirty. I received an email from the company asking for feedback and I let them know and asked them how I can clean it. They didn't have any suggestions and instead offered to send me another, to which I replied gratefully and asked for the teal color instead of the white.
It comes today and I'll take a couple pics if you want. Awesome retailer (through Amazon).
Other than that, awesome case. The charger went in a little crooked but straightened out after a while. There are holes for a lanyard strap or charm which I got used to on my old HTC and the GNex lacks. The side ridges make it super grippy and the big Android on the back prevents [most] people from saying "OMG IZ THAT TEH NEW IPHONE"
The best part is taking it off and remembering how thin the Nexus is ^_^
Hahaha ur last sentence is so true!! Everytime I take off my cases it makes the phone look so slim

Oh, nice! I have a new phone strap and wanted to use it but was slightly bummed that the Gnex doesn't have a hole for one. The android design on the back is also very cute.
Thanks for talking about the white version. I'm a fan of white cases but worried about the discoloration on this one. I mostly carry my phone in my purse with usually no makeup in it.
I hope you guys aren't trying to say that this case adds a lot of bulk to the phone...

Here's a tip for anyone ordering the case from anywhere that requires intenational shipping.
If you pay via Google payments then the order will be complete with you just paying for the case thus will save you on paying the international shipping charge - At least it worked for me.
Enjoy.

Have been using the teal and its really nice. The charger port hole still isn't perfect but I am just careful with it. Looked on ebay last night and there's a ****load of new options including some cool looking metal-ey ones. Before there were just the same ones from the larger retailers around $20.
