Diztronic updated and modded their case and now came with version 3.0 . There are some nice changes like getting rid of the tpu buttons and putting a little more gloss.
Check it out
Thanks, Raul. Great review.

There a link to a site where I can purchase this? It actually looks great. Is it real thin?

Amazon has them. I ordered one a few days ago.

You mentioned this works with the extended battery, does that include the verizon model and does it leave any abnormal bulge. The high gloss case from verizon fits really nice but the speaker cutout has a small gap. With OCD its very annoying.
Excellent product from a company with REAL customer service.

+1. Great case and great customer service. Even if there's a better case out there for my need, I'd still buy a Diztronic case, simply because I want to support companies with old-fashioned customer service.
Ordered one last nite. Can't wait to see how it fits with the extended battery

Fits fine, loved the case...
I have to say though, after using it for a week I took it off, and I had forgotten how slim and light the phone is.
Going caseless now...
I couldn't find the Black Matte v3 cases on Amazon during CES. I ended up ordering a transparent black which I'm unsure if I'll like. I really wanted the black matte as shown in the video and seeing it makes me want it more.
yeah, the guys were at ces, but contact them im sure they ll help you out
I like the case, but I want one in white. Anyone has an email for them, or will I have to open a ticket?
I would love white, but I bought my GF a white TPU case last year and the thing is dank now. I bought her a pink one when I ordered my Diztronic case.
I'll see about the smoke gray. It might not be too bad. I like my SGP Black case now because I don't even notice its on. The black blends in with the screen so well it just feels normal.

You're right. I bought a white TPU case from Diztronic for my Thundebolt last year, and in a couple months, the color went from (somewhat) white to a ugly combo of ugly yellow/pinkish white. Of course it was a glossy version, so perhaps a matte white combo would work better... maybe...
Right now I have a Hybrid S-line TPU that I got for a buck from eBay, and I just love how the white rim of the case contrasts so well against the black face of the phone. It doesn't fit with the extended battery cover though, which is a bummer.
just bought one on ebay !
Thank you !
cant wait, just not sure how it ships to israel and australia faster than canada?
Just search diztronic nexus, only this showed up, bought the back matte
Check it out! They are releasing it mid march. Works for the US Verizon version with the extended battery.
http://www.rearthusa.com/verizon_galaxy_nexus_slim.html
It's discounted to $20.80 and free shipping. Comes in three colors right now - Alpine White, Black, and Metallic. I just preordered the metallic being that I have the non Verizon Alpine White version.

Grrrrrr....... and I just bought the Diztronic TPU Version 3 case.
Awesome! I'm torn between the Matte Black or White. I have a Diztronic Glossy Black that I love. I bought a Matte Black and it didn't provide enough grip.
Is the White and Metallic glossy? Last time I bought a Ringke case it was sort of a foam, these seem like a hard plastic. I'd love white but I think it would end up dirty and stained.
Update:
I just bought the Metallic. Everyone says it blends in real well with the original color which is nice because there are spots that the actual phone shows through like on the sides.
Just ordered a metallic. Hope it doesn't suck!
Just ordered the matte black, can't wait for it to get here...

Did anyone see how thick the case was? I'm curious to find out how much bulk it would add to the phone.
"We Listened. We Created. We Delivered"
I love it! its great to see manufacturers listen to the customers and give them EXACTLY what they want. I already have 3 cases, but I'm thinking of buying one just to support them.
You really don't see this that much esp since this case will fit the extended AND standard. Great job Rearth!

Guess Ringke doesn't have any love for the GSM variant's extended Battery eh? :/ that's a disappointment.

As long as the case is larger, it should be ok. We're talking about millimeters here. It'll probably fit but have some play which could be corrected if you get creative.
I think they went for it is because Verizon is the only carrier in the US and they had extended batteries from day 1... for 50% off... so most people picked it up. A case that is a tad thicker is better then a case that is too thin.
I want the alpine white case, my only concern is if it starts to stain or discolor only after a few days. Anyone have any opinions on this?

From the sounds of it.. sounds like you've ordered one if you did, report back I mean Canada has GSM Galaxy Nexuses. It's not always about USA.

Constantly see "not only about the USA" type stuff, which it's certainly true... But I just had to lol, there are so many more GSM-minded cases than LTE/VZW.

I got one of these and I love it! My only critisism is that the rubber plugs for the micro usb and headphone socket have discoloured slightly by my jeans.
It's not enough to get another case though!
I had the alpine white for a few days now and no signs of stains or dicolor ..I also have the full body white carbon fiber skin under it and had no problems..got it from eBay and comes with screen protector for around $26

I understand the whole USA vs GSM issue but USA only has LTE models which are different in size anyway from the GSM variant, so GSM snug fitting cases won't work anyway.
So thats a huge chunk of customers they want to account for. LTE specifically, which most of the LTE phones probably have the extended because they were selling them at such a good price.
And yes I bought the Metallic as noted on the first page. Ringke is a great company and I've demoed a few of their products in the past to know they are high quality. I too wanted the white but I've seen lots of "white" cases. I would have also liked a Glossy Black. The matte is nice but actually feels more slippery then the gloss. The gloss has a "sticky" feel that helps keep it in my hands.
The Metallic is supposedly glossy and matches the phone pretty well, according to the GSM thread. We'll see. Can't wait.
Anyone know where this case can be seen in person? I'd like to hold one before I buy it.
This is what I got mailed back today,
"We will be receiving shipments of each color every week. This week, we are expecting to receive the white Neo Hybrid cases for the Galaxy S3 and next week we are expecting to receive the red cases.
If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
Thank you."
And I've just ordered the infinite white, so hope to get it soon and see how it compares to the speck and other hybrid cases
Heres also a video that they've recently uploaded. Kinda bright to see how the colors will look once they arrive but they look very slick!
Looks fugly. Also the case didn't seem to fit snug at the bottom. Hopefully someone can chime in on this.

i'm intrigued by this case as well. i wonder how much thicker/wider it makes the phone though. it looks like to have the same added size as the case-mate pop case i had on my skyrocket. if thats the case (hehe word joke) then i'll pass =/
The phone itself is already pretty thin, almost the same as the ipod touch/ a pencil so for me thickness wont be that big of a deal, unless it's something like the otter case :/

Not quite the same idea at all. The SGP is a 2 piece case with a TPU backcover + Polycarb frame. Similar to Incipio's Sylicrylic or Seidio's Active X case except it doesn't use silicone so hopefully doesn't get loose at the top/bottom end.

I wasn't talking about the material either Same color scheme sure, but more that it's a single piece case vs a 2 piece back cover + frame case.
Got my Infinity White today. Barely adds any thickness. I also have a Casemate Pop for my S3, but this is a lot lot thinner. Would recommend it for anyone looking for a thin case. My only complaints are the power button is so sensitive at first, you don't even know you've pressed it until you take your finger off of it. Also like any other matte TPU case (oh yeah, it's TPU) it's kind of slippery. But definitely recommended for anyone looking for some basic protection. Not recommend for anyone who drops their phone constantly or from high places.
I'm really looking for recommendations here as I'm having a hard time finding something good. I just got my wife a galaxy nexus (sprint) and looking for a good case, probably the rubbery kind, but purple or pink or similiar.
Anyone give any links, recommendations or other? Thanks in advance!
ebay, My girlfriend has the verizon gnex and she got one of the cheap cases off ebay, it's translucent purple and pretty thin. I have an otterbox commuter on order for mine. They also make tpu cases and bumpers which can be had for pretty cheap on ebay. I always assume if I buy a case it's going to take some abuse, so I go cheap so I don't spend an arm and a leg to replace it. I went out on a limb with this otterbox case and spent a little more money than I am used to so, we'll see if it pays off. I got the otterbox for work (I work in a dusty environment and I wanted a tight case with some shock protection. I have a TPU bumper for the rest of the time. I've had 4-5 $2 cases in the past two years with my G2 and I don't regret it. You get some duds and you get some that can last 6 months to a year. I order 3 or 4 at a time since they are so cheap.
Thanks. I also just found this, but can't find any reviews on it. Looked really slick with a kickstand too!

I thought i'd ask the AT&T folks, the international forum is too large and impersonal.
Im looking at this one for myself: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nillkin-Mat...841&pid=100011&prg=1005&rk=1&sd=140855149689&
I got that one in white. Waiting on the Marble White version to be available for AT&T.
The ONE thing nice about not having the phone in hands yet is it has given me time to get some goodies on order with cheap shipping. I have four cases headed my way (yes idle hands). As you will see from my selections, I like cases that are TPU or similar for absorbing shock. I don't like very bulky cases.
Yello TPU from Amazon

Then the Flexshield cases. I think one of these will be my everyday case. I couldn't decide between transparent or black so I ordered both. They come from mobilefun.com in the UK and since I had so much time to wait (November 9th or so) I used the cheap $5 shipping and it should be here by then.

Still haven't decided if I am getting the Note yet, I have SGS3 and its great, with a nice strong seido case (extended battery active) it isn't too big. I feel like having a big case on the note will be too much. I'm in the army and the SGS3 barely fits in my ankle pockets now, Only option for the Note would be in my cargo pockets and it might break in there...
i am looking into the Nilikin case atleast until there is an otterbox commuter for the note 2
Case I ordered
This is the case I ordered from Korea.
1) some sort of a metallic material bumper case (black)
2) some sort of a metallic material battery cover (black)
and its going to be going on the Titanium Grey colored version of the note 2
by the way the second picture is the metal battery cover by itself.
I got this clear hard shell case at Amazon for $10.99.
Trident. Just have to baby it for a month or so. :good:
Ive got the Nilikin cases in white and black. Not a fan of the texture. But it was the only thing available that was decent at the time. Im waiting for the Elago slim cases to come out which i have on my original Note.
I just ordered this case of ebay, not bad for the price and it looks half decent. I will post pictures once i get it and the phone(still waiting for rogers to ship)

hey guys i got a quick question im currently married to my skyrocket...but im leaving her for this beautful note 2. something i came across that was rather annoying with the skyrocket when it came to cases is that the phone style changed based on the carriers. e.g the speaker orientation on the sgs2 hercules vs the sgs2 skyrocket where different. even tho they are the same phone specs wise. is this the same here since all the cases linked here are for the n7100 and our phones are the n7137m and n7147m or something to that effect thanks for your replies in advance
The note 2 as far as dimensions go are the same across all models. So all cases will work

i also bought the ZAGG body shield
Boxwave case with the integrated stand. I have the black one on my current Note and it works great. The stand isn't super strong (can't expect it to be on a slim plastic case) but it's built well and holds the phone well also.
The case isn't available yet so keeping an eye out.
