There is one manufactured by a company or called a BLADE, and it is much less flimsy looking that this, it is one large piece basically a frame and a small attachment to lock it in the frame. Seemed much more durable, this thing appears less durable than good old tpu...

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.

While those are. Both nice, unless u are using PGM which needs a comvatibke corner. How would u turn the screen on and off. And the aqua skin is almost identical to the iottie, except u only get one at 1/3 the price

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

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.

DIY Case from Book

I just finished making this case for my N8013. I used an old hard cover book, with pages carefully cut out, a thin piece of clear plastic, from the craft store (the kind used for tables and chair covers), and a LOT of duct tape. The bottom tabs which hold the tablet are made of duct tape and the top strap is of the clear plastic. The plastic clings to the tablet giving added security. I also made the stylus-holder from duct tape. Very convenient.
It's not drop-proof, of course, but it is pretty cool.

It's held on the bottom corners by the tape and across the top by the clear plastic strip. It's secure as the plastic hold and adheres to the screen (bezel area).
Regarding the blue (?) my note is grey, but I took the pics in a room with fluorescent lighting.

Someone said they were using rain ex, this sounds similar. I just checked it out , seems the local sprawl-mart has it. The website pic want that black bottle in your link, but the description was nearly identical. 20 bucks and its in stock. I'm gonna pick some up and try it out on my old galaxy s phone first. I'll report back after the Patriots whoop Arizona.

I read about using RainX as well so I have decided to give it a try since I already had a bottle in the garage. So far it has created a very smooth and slick surface. It has also kept the fingerprints off, but I have only started using it. I will let you all know how it works out.

Car wax? Can't say I've heard of that one! But have used RainX on old TF101. Worked all right but needed re-applying after a while. And one didn't get the "added protection" of a film.

I tried the RainX but was not to impressed with its durability. As much as I use my tablet I would have to reapply almost daily. Which sucks considering the time it takes to apply then remove the haze. :thumbdown:

Agree. It was an interesting experiment but that it didn't "last" prompted me to move to a protector.

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.
